Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

His companion's words did not earn Bob's trust.

After all, to him, they were a couple who had just gotten together, and their acting abilities were questionable…

Therefore, his first reaction was to think that they were joking or trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"A body? A dead person?" he made a helpless expression, "Friends, this isn't funny. The Horror House is filled with bodies and dead people, ok?"

"I agree," Lisa even shrugged her shoulders, her expression full of teasing, "But, your expressions just now were pretty on point, like actors in a horror blockbuster, pretty cool."

"Damn it, we're not joking with you, someone really died!"

"Hmm? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Seeing their faces filled with horror and their bodies incessantly trembling, Bob could not help but feel an odd sensation in his heart—they didn't seem to be lying.

"Nonsense, can't we even tell if it's a real body or not?"

Hearing this, Bob and Lisa exchanged a look, both with a somewhat somber expression on their faces.

Standing up, they walked over to the last coffin.

Bob, with a grimace, cautiously peeked into the coffin.

He saw a corpse, grotesque and terrifying, even the blood had not coagulated, as if it had just died recently.

In a flash, a chilling shudder ran through him, as if he had been electrocuted, and his heart started to pound violently out of fear.

Lisa's expression was even worse. She had already been startled before and was not in a good state; the dim lights deliberately arranged around, along with the subtle and eerie music, had always made her a bit paranoid, and her emotions immediately became tense.

After seeing the body in the coffin, her face turned as pale as paper, and she couldn't help but back away several steps, falling to the ground, nearly unable to breathe.

"My God, how could someone die here?"

Bob took a deep breath and managed to say, "Never mind that now, guys, we need to get out of here and call the police, let's call the police right away."

As he spoke, he shouted to the others.

The couple and Lisa all nodded, with only one thought in their minds—run.

After such a terrifying incident, no one dared to stay; they immediately started running towards the way they had come.

They were just students after all; even though they normally watched horror movies, that did not mean they could remain unfazed in the face of a real dead body.

Panic, being at a loss, even unable to think, was the normal reaction of a person.

Among the four, the couple was ahead, while Bob and Lisa lagged behind.

At that moment, Lisa was seriously out of strength and was only able to move her legs by pushing herself, so she quickly fell a good distance behind the others and could only watch their backs from afar.

Gasping for air, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling her body becoming heavier and heavier, as if she were carrying a weight, and her pace grew slower and slower.

Keep in mind, she usually liked to run as a form of exercise; this kind of situation was almost impossible to occur.

"What's happening to me!"

Her heart grew even more panicked. The dim lights in the Horror House and the vast shadowy areas seemed to ignite all her emotions.

"Wait a minute, I've fallen behind! Wait for me, hey! Can't you hear me?"

Lisa bit her lip, not daring to stop, yet unable to project her voice very far due to her lack of strength.

No one heard...

Lisa watched Bob and the couple moving further away, her eyes brimming with tears, as she desperately ran forward, trying to keep up with them.

However, she failed to notice that the stride of her steps was getting shorter and shorter, even slower than a normal walk.

"Damn!"

Lisa panted heavily, stopping and looking down; she could run no farther. She was soaked in sweat, as if she had been pulled out of the water.

Just then, she suddenly noticed something extra in the shadow under her feet, bloated and deformed, as if a person was standing back-to-back with her...

…

Meanwhile.

Du Wei's face also looked terrible as he returned to the cross corridor flickering with dim light.

Ten minutes earlier, he had turned around to leave, trying to bypass the area from elsewhere.

But to his surprise, no matter which way he went, he always ended up back where he started, even after entering the "Spirit Vision Third Phase," nothing had changed.

This was very abnormal...

Looking at the shadowy corner across the corridor stood the little girl in the western dress, the blood on the hem of her skirt growing more congealed and slowly soaking the ground, Du Wei's calm gaze became even deeper.

"Spirit Vision" was a phenomenon that only manifested after being eroded by an "Evil Spirit."

The first phase, direct gaze at the "Evil Spirit."

The second phase, deepening.

The third phase, as the erosion became more thorough, "Evil Spirit Transformation" began to emerge.

This was also the hunter's confidence when facing an "Evil Spirit."

Unilateral and vertical.

At least so far, under the state of "Spirit Vision," apart from the unusually communicable "Evil Spirit" at home, there hasn't been any "Evil Spirit" capable of deceiving "Spirit Vision."

A thought flashed through Du Wei's mind, and he adjusted his breathing a bit.

An "Evil Spirit" can't deceive "Spirit Vision," but it can deceive oneself.

The five senses are the easiest to mislead.

Thus, Du Wei glanced at the dark corridor, the flickering, rickety chandeliers, and the iron doors on both sides under each chandelier and said in a low voice to the "Evil Spirit."

"Deceiving a person's five senses is a very simple matter. During my college days specializing in psychology, I conducted similar experiments."

As though explaining to the "Evil Spirit," Du Wei spoke patiently, "Psychological suggestions and environmental arrangements can completely deceive the five senses, like the 'Infinite Corridor' for instance."

"But that's theoretical. In reality, no matter how perfect the arrangement, it is impossible to create a real 'Infinite Corridor.'

After saying that, Du Wei paused and then continued, "Now, looking at the lights in this corridor and its environmental setup, in addition to the eerie sound effects inherently present in the 'Horror House,' it's not hard to understand..."

"It's actually psychological suggestion..."

Du Wei suddenly smiled a bit and continued to speak, but this time, he was speaking to himself.

"After I first came back here and then went in another direction, that makes it twice, and this corridor is T-shaped. I think I already know how to leave this place."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that, Du Wei took a long look at the "Evil Spirit" and then stepped into the corridor.

In an instant.

It felt as though he had entered a cold storage, the temperature inside the entire corridor was very low.

The frequency of the chandelier above his head swinging was accelerating, and the dim lights were flickering, very blinding.

Du Wei, expressionless as if he felt nothing, casually took out a bottle of "Holy Water" from his backpack.

During this process, he had no intention of concealing his thoughts.

Across from him, the little "Evil Spirit" girl's mechanical beckoning suddenly paused, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, her expression turned incredibly ferocious, and her eyes were filled with malice and resentment.

But perhaps sensing something, in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the shadows.

Then, a continuous creaking, the teeth-grinding sound of doors opening, arose!

All the iron doors at that moment flew open!

Du Wei's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he furrowed his brow.

The corridor was originally part of the 'Horror House' scenery, purely for scaring people. Normally speaking, behind every door, there should be some setup or workers dressed as ghosts.

But now, all the workers had been replaced by "Evil Spirits" and "Ghosts," and the orchestrators of the scare tactics had completely changed.

Therefore, he turned his head and expressionlessly looked at one door on his left.

Into his view...

Within the shadow, a person with a slumped right shoulder was facing away from Du Wei...
