Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 725 - 703, Human Face Wall

Chapter 725: 703, Human Face Wall

Humm…

There seemed to be a vibrating sound in the air.

Du Wei felt a bone-chilling coldness in his left hand as his newly acquired ability had subconsciously activated.

In his hand.

A distorted, faceless, ghastly pale human face was struggling ceaselessly.

The thing was somewhere between illusion and reality.

It gave Du Wei a very unpleasant feeling.

The sensation coming from his left hand was disgustingly sticky.

It was as though he had grabbed a bloodsucking leech.

“Just a little more.”

Du Wei’s voice was cold, just now, if it were not for his precaution before opening the door, if his actions weren’t quick, that bizarre human face would have already covered his own.

He had a feeling that if the strange face had succeeded, something very bad could have happened.

“What on earth is this thing?”

Du Wei held the face in his hand, his left hand’s ability was such that as long as he could hold onto it, he would be unharmed.

He jokingly referred to it as “hand in hand, good friends.”

But this peculiar face kept struggling, as if it was barely affected by his grip.

He frowned and squeezed his left hand tightly.

“Huh, I can’t seem to kill it?”

That was very strange.

Although the Evil Spirit Du Wei had not yet awakened, Du Wei’s strength was not weak; he was at the level of a Top Hunter after all, and it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to crush this thing to death.

But the fact was, his methods seemed quite ineffective.

“Demon Spirit…”

Du Wei murmured softly, then immediately released his hold and stepped back.

As soon as the bizarre face was freed, it lunged at Du Wei, but instantly, Dark Shadow appeared in front of him, a huge cleaver chopping down straight at it.

Dark Shadow was a Demon Spirit, perhaps it could kill this thing.

But the next second.

Something that surprised Du Wei happened.

The cleaver of Dark Shadow struck the strange face but went right through it, as if it did not exist at all.

Moreover, the bizarre face passed directly through Dark Shadow and still lunged towards Du Wei’s own face.

“Why do I always encounter such troubles?”

Du Wei couldn’t help shaking his head and once again grabbed the bizarre face.

Now, things had become awkward.

Dark Shadow couldn’t deal with this thing.

Du Wei couldn’t kill it either.

If he let go, it would immediately attack him.

If he didn’t let go, he could only keep holding it.

It would be alright for a short time, but if he had to carry it with him upon leaving from here, that would be a big problem.

To be honest.

Du Wei felt like whatever he did, there were always complications; nothing ever went smoothly.

Unexpected situations would arise at times, leading to trouble.

He let his left hand hang down.

Du Wei looked towards the Red Gate again, Dark Shadow cocked its head, then merged with Du Wei once more.

It was like the most loyal knight, constantly protecting Du Wei’s safety.

Behind the Red Gate.

Darkness everywhere.

But faintly, with the help of the flashlight on the phone in his right hand, Du Wei saw the outlines of buildings in that darkness.

Hmm…

The space inside was vast.

Du Wei thought for a moment, then turned to look behind him at the dim tunnel that remained unchanged, leading to an unknown destination.

To enter or to leave?

That was a very serious question.

Fear of the dark is a human instinct.

Though Du Wei was neither afraid nor frightened, his experiences, or rather his instincts, had taught him that the darker the place, the more trouble there was likely to be in such an environment of unknown dangers.

Entering would mean trouble.

But to return along an unknown path, not to mention whether his guess was correct or not.

However, Du Wei wasn’t fond of relying on luck.

He thought for a moment.

Then he bit the phone in his mouth, reached into his pocket, and fumbled around before pulling out his wallet and extracting a silver Coin.

The Coin’s face featured a skull, while the back featured a scythe.

They represented luck and misfortune, respectively.

Dark Shadow, merged with Du Wei, suddenly seemed to sense something unpleasant and shuddered immediately.

“Heads, I go in; tails, I leave.”

Du Wei spoke as he tossed the coin.

He really didn’t like to gamble with luck.

But that doesn’t mean the dark shadow doesn’t!

After all, if the dark shadow was possessed, even if it was unlucky, the bad luck would fall on it.

What does it have to do with him?

The next second.

The coin landed in his hand.

It was tails…

Du Wei was silent for a moment.

The overlapping dark shadows suddenly became imperceptibly dimmer.

Then, Du Wei tossed the coin again.

This time, he even comforted the dark shadow, “Don’t be afraid, as long as it lands on heads, we will go in.”

Regardless of whether the dark shadow believed it or not.

He did, anyway.

With bad luck, it would definitely be very dangerous to go in.

Plainly speaking, Du Wei wanted to go in but didn’t want to risk it.

But it was still tails.

He tossed again.

Tails…

Tails…

Tails…

Repeated tails made Du Wei’s scalp tingle and caused the dark shadow to grow dimmer and dimmer.

Its consciousness protested in Du Wei’s mind.

“No big deal,” he reassured himself.

Now, he also started to feel that something was amiss.

The dark shadow’s luck shouldn’t be this bad.

There should be at least one stroke of luck.

Unless the place he was in was an extremely dangerous, unlucky place of horror to be in.

“If that’s the case, I’ve outsmarted myself,” he thought.

Du Wei’s mouth twitched.

Looking at the coin in his hand and thinking about the dark shadow’s level of bad luck, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

“Good thing, the bad luck is on the dark shadow, not me.”

Du Wei silently put the coin back in his pocket.

The dark shadow stopped trembling.

If the dark shadow had wisdom, at this moment it would probably be thanking Du Wei’s ancestors eighteen generations back.

“Let’s go in and take a look, I’ll come right out if there’s danger,” he said, already preparing himself mentally.

The Everlasting Flower from his dreams could be pulled out at any time, and countless finely marked black threads were also waiting for Du Wei’s summoning.

Whenever he wanted.

He could pull out a host of horrific things.

In a certain sense, Du Wei was the most terrifying being, a walking personification of Calamity.

He pulled the Red Gate open a bit wider.

He walked in.

The light from his phone could only illuminate a small area in front of him.

Du Wei groped his way forward in the darkness.

He didn’t walk very fast, and he occasionally looked back at the exit—that is, the Red Gate.

Just to prevent himself from not being able to get out.

At this moment.

The cursed face he was holding in his left hand struggled even more violently, almost slipping from his grasp.

And a buzzing noise also rose in Du Wei’s mind.

“Something’s wrong,” he instinctively stopped in his tracks, and at the same time, he faintly saw something hiding in the darkness ahead, coupled with some rustling noises, as if there were many of those things, all crammed together.

He gritted his teeth.

Du Wei took one more step forward.

Now, he could see clearly.

The path ended ahead with a wall, and on the wall hung many faces.

Those faces, basically of all kinds—with either no features or incomplete features.

But…

Du Wei’s face turned extremely grim.

Because he realized that if all these faces were put together to form complete features, the face they made was identical to his own.

What in the world was this place?
