It is a very terrible thing to be corrupted by evil spirits.

The mind will gradually crumble, the spirit will become muddy, and the whole person will be filled with negative emotions, from despair to madness, and then to the final stage, dying at the hands of evil spirits, or being occupied by the body.

The way to slow down this erosion is to stay calm and control your emotions.

This is also the only way for ordinary people to face evil spirits.

And the only way to get out of this state is to destroy the evil spirits associated with it.

Alex's room.

Du Wei's face returned to calm, and the inexplicable pain just now suddenly disappeared after entering the state of spiritual vision.

Of course, on the sofa in front of him, Alex lay like a dead man, and the inexplicable black shadow was still the same.

Strands of thin black silk emerged from Alex's body, gradually merging with the black shadow, and this situation reminded him of an animal, a leech.

Then, he took the silver cross dagger from his body and walked over to Alex.

Shook the cross.

As they got closer, some of the fine black threads broke, and then tried to reunite as if they were alive.

And in the process, Du Wei always looked at the dark figure standing behind the sofa.

He noted.

The silhouette of this dark shadow resembles that of a woman, with limbs, but the head has no complete facial features, and the eyes are replaced by two hollows, and when they look at each other, they can only see a strange and terrifying scene that cannot be described in words.

Du Wei held the silver cross dagger and slowly pulled it out as he approached the dark figure.

But from beginning to end, the black shadow did not move, and even its attention was not on Du Wei, and the target was always Alex.

Rub......

Pull out the dagger.

Call......

Du Wei swung at the shadow.

In the next second, he only felt a burst of emptiness, and the dagger passed directly through the black shadow, which had no effect at all.

But......

At this time, the black shadow moved, it raised its head, looked at Du Wei, and looked at each other.

Du Wei instantly felt his scalp tingle, and in the hollow that replaced his eyes, there were unexpectedly vicious and greedy mood swings.

"This thing doesn't seem to be an evil spirit."

This thought appeared in Du Wei's heart, and he immediately chose to retreat, and the black shadow's gaze also shifted with him, as if some mechanism had been triggered?

Then.

The light in the room dimmed by another degree.

Many places were completely invisible, and only one area around them could be seen, whether it was a door or a window, wrapped in a layer of black fog.

Du Wei took a deep breath and remembered the conversation he had with Alex earlier.

If he guessed correctly, Alex should have seen no different hallucinations than he saw.

Insisting on distinction, that is, what she sees is more serious, and even the concept of space is vague.

To borrow the words of Father Tony:

[Evil spirit, with the ability to ignore space]

……

Fortunately, the changes in the room are limited to that.

While staring at Du Wei, the black shadow did not make any unusual moves, which made Du Wei feel relieved.

Then, little by little, he cautiously approached Alex again, placing the silver cross dagger on her chest with one hand and tucking the other into his pocket, and tapped open the glass bottle containing the holy water with his thumb.

The black shadow kept staring at Du Wei with a vacant gaze.

But what is incomprehensible is.

When the silver cross dagger was placed on Alex, many of the fine black threads shattered as if they had encountered fire, but the black shadow did not move.

"Doesn't that make any difference to it?"

Du Wei frowned, and his other hand quickly reached out, and poured the holy water from the glass bottle on the black shadow.

Airplanes......

Some indescribable voice penetrated Du Wei's ears, and he couldn't help but cover his ears, and it was just such a moment, and when he raised his head again, there was nothing in front of him.

The shadow disappeared completely.

The thin black threads that stretched from Alex's body were as if they had never been seen before.

"Is that all right?"

Du Wei looked at the antique clock hanging on the wall, and said in a calm tone: "No, not yet." ”

Click......

The hour hand of an antique clock, which had been damaged, was constantly turning, in a very regular rhythm.

In the dead silence of the room, only the sound of the hour hand turning can be heard, and the minute and second hands are always overlapping.

In a sense, this is already against the rules of mechanical construction.

"This is the medium? Does it exist in a physical form, or is it attached to it? ”

Du Wei took out the shroud and spread it out, and walked step by step in front of the antique clock.

But it stopped at a distance of one meter.

He looked down at his right leg, a pale, rotting hand emerging from the black mist on the ground, clutching his ankle tightly.

It's a woman's hand, and although most of it is rotten, and even the bones in it can be seen, the slender five fingers, neat and rounded nails, and a women's wedding ring on the ring finger all prove its identity.

Du Wei saw that there were still some letters engraved on the ring: val......

Then, he pulled out his pistol, pulled the safe, and pulled the trigger on that hand!

Bang!!!

This hand was instantly beaten to pieces!

Seeing this, Du Wei narrowed his eyes: "It is really an entity?" ”

Logically speaking, evil spirits are formed by some people or some special beings after death, and their manifestations are often illusory, even if they can affect reality, but their essence cannot be physically presented.

But his gaze swept across the floor, but he was slightly stunned.

On the floor, there are no bullet holes......

So where did the bullets go?

"Completely incomprehensible ......"

Vaguely, a thought crossed Du Wei's mind.

It seems that he is in trouble.

He no longer hesitated, walked quickly to the face of the antique clock, stepped on the vase, and reached out to remove it.

The whole antique clock feels very heavy, the wooden and metal iron structure looks very ancient, and some angelic patterns and cross carvings have the style of the church, which looks sacred and solemn.

But on the back of the clock, there is a relief of a goat's head.

In some church cultures, goats are often metaphorically used as symbols of evil and demons.

"Reveal the divine and hide the evil behind it?"

Du Wei remembered that many years ago, he had read a sentence in a psychology-related book that described some pathological personality criminals.

"Now, it's time to wrap it up."

He then spread the shroud on the ground and laid the antique clock flat on top of it.

According to Father Tony, holy water can temporarily dispel evil spirits, and the shroud can isolate evil spirits, which is a common method used by exorcists and in exorcism rituals.

However, at this moment, Du Wei's body stiffened suddenly, and a smooth and delicate hand that was very moist at first glance rested on his shoulder.

Out of the corner of his eye, behind Du Wei, Alex's eyes were red, and he held a silver cross dagger in one hand and raised it high, aiming it at his head.
