Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 669 - 666 a world of absurdity and unruliness
Chapter 669: 666, a world of absurdity and unruliness Chapter 669: 666, a world of absurdity and unruliness The chill wind blew in gusts.
All that met the eye was darkness, thick as paint, obscuring any hint of light.
After James pushed the door open.
When he stepped back into Dusk Bell Church, the surroundings had completely transformed.
He saw a table overturned on the ceiling.
On the floor, a cup’s lower half was cut off and missing, its upper half firmly standing on the ground, with a gap of about three centimeters.
And it still contained water.
...
The floor was displaced.
The walls were covered in patterns akin to an abstract artist’s paintings, so nonsensical one couldn’t even forcibly imagine any artistic value or ideological burden in them.
James said coldly, “I was only gone for a moment, and upon re-entering, the environment had completely changed. So, could the people who disappeared earlier still reappear?”
As he spoke, his remaining right hand also slipped into his pocket and pulled out a flintlock gun.
This one had been given to him in Massas City by a bishop.
It wasn’t the one Du Wei had.
He told himself to stay calm, stay vigilant.
Everything around him was like a world riddled with bugs.
When he was younger, he enjoyed playing games from Ubisoft, a game developer infamous for its bugs, where the in-game visuals shared a mysterious kinship with the current situation.
The deeper he went.
The colder James felt.
Suddenly…
He stepped on a piece of broken glass, making a crunching sound.
Something flickered past the corner ahead of him.
“Evil Spirit?”
James’s expression unchanged, he muttered to himself, “It seems to be an illusion. I don’t feel any danger, so where exactly is the source of this anomaly?”

“I’m fairly familiar with the entire Dusk Bell; the only place that could cause such anomalies seems to be Matthew’s room, for it harbors many secrets.”
“Furthermore, Dusk Bell’s plan to create Evil Spirits isn’t carried out at headquarters. They merely cast those Evil Spirits out, waiting for the time to harvest.”
“So now, I should go downstairs, take a look in Matthew’s room.”
The source of James’s power was the Evil Spirit Du Wei.
And Evil Spirit Du Wei and Du Wei were one and the same.
He had also inherited that habit of talking to himself.
Following that.
James hastened onward, quickly reaching the basement.
Through the dark corridor.
At this moment, James was still thinking about Ryan.
His relationship with Ryan was actually not bad.
After all, he didn’t know how tragic his own situation was, all caused by Ryan.
James thought to himself, “Yesterday, I slept in Ryan’s room, but in the morning, I didn’t see him. Logically, every morning when he gets up, he comes to my room to urinate on the floor.”
“And now the environment has changed again, I should first go to my room. Perhaps I might discover some clues there. If I’m lucky, he might still be in the room.”
If he could find Ryan.
He planned to take Ryan with him to see Matthew’s room; if not found, he would have to go alone.
Soon.
James arrived at his own room.
He was wary of the earlier illusion.
So he stood at the door without making any rash moves, waiting for a good while. Only after ensuring there was nothing amiss inside, did he carefully bite the flintlock gun with his mouth and reached for the key with his hand.
The reason for this.
Was because he only had one hand.
Inserting the key.
Turning it slowly…
During this process, James kept an eye on his surroundings, afraid of encountering an uncontrollable situation.
Eventually.
The door opened…
But what he saw was a world absurd to the extreme.
Not the room he remembered.
“This… This is Hill Psychiatric Hospital?”
James couldn’t believe what he was seeing; he beheld a world, a world in a downpour, cold and enclosed, with a psychiatric hospital in the midst of rain.
And most jarring was the glaring sign of Hill Psychiatric Hospital.
“Why is it like this?”
“The only people related to Hill Psychiatric Hospital are me and Ryan, so is it me who has a problem, or is it Ryan?”
At that moment.
James’s face suddenly turned pale.
He felt an imminent danger and instantly tried to shoot behind him with the flintlock gun.
But it was too late.
He only felt a pair of hands pushing on his back, and his whole body, from beginning to end, fell into that absurd and irrational world.
When he turned back around.
What he saw were the Exorcist, Harry, and his own niece Homier.
The door through which they had come had already disappeared.
“You…”
James hastily backed away, intending to do something, but realized that his Evil Spirit Transformation Ability had disappeared, and his lost hand had also miraculously returned to its original state.
He seemed to realize something.
The pair of eyes in his mind vanished, and he became the Exorcist again, not the hunter.
…
On the other side.
In the ghost dimension inside the oil painting.
Du Wei let out a muffled grunt.
Tears began to sting the corners of his eyes.
“Ryan?”
He gritted his teeth, his expression turning extremely dangerous.
“How could it be you who did this?”
“What the hell is going on here?”
What James had seen, Du Wei had also witnessed through that connection, and by using the ability to open a small door in the Inner World with the painting.
He rarely cursed.
Clearly, he was far from calm at this moment.
“Damn it… why is it you? Where did you get such power?”
Du Wei couldn’t understand at all.
He was aware that he had greatly misunderstood something regarding Ryan.
But he had never imagined that Ryan, a psychiatric patient, could do such a thing…
“Have you been pretending all this time just for me to see?”
“Impossible…”
The thought that had just appeared in Du Wei’s mind was immediately denied by him. He did not believe Ryan would deceive him because a person’s speaking habits and behavior logic are inherent.
If there was any conspiracy.
It would be easy to figure out.
But…
It did not rule out the possibility that he had been deceived by Ryan from the very beginning.
Immediately…
Du Wei, grinding his teeth, said in a cold voice, “Freddy, come out to me!”
The next second.
Freddy actually jumped out.
“Master, did you call me?”
Du Wei grabbed its neck and asked coldly, “Ryan is in trouble, do you have anything to say? My loyal servant…”
The shadow had silently drawn a knife.
The Envelope was brimming with malice.
Freddy was scared witless: “Master, what do you mean? Ryan is in trouble? Is that devil finally going down?”
Du Wei said coldly, “If he goes down, so will you, I’ll send you to meet him. Tell me, what do you know about Ryan?”
Freddy’s face changed dramatically: “Master, hear me out, I truly know nothing about Ryan, all I know is that Ryan Hamel, Ryan is Ryan Hamel’s Evil Spirit Transformation Ability.”
“If it is in trouble, it could only be because Ryan Hamel is playing tricks.”
“Of course, it could also be that Ryan lost control…”
Du Wei took a deep breath: “What exactly is his ability?”
Freddy shook his head trembling: “I can’t say, I have been restricted by Ryan Hamel, even if I die, I can’t reveal his ability.”
“All I can tell you is that it might be the key to Ryan Hamel’s resurrection.”
Du Wei let out a cold laugh, releasing Freddy abruptly.
“Resurrection? What gives him the right to resurrect?”
“If he is resurrected, what about Ryan? Does he become his ability?”
“What a joke…”
