Self-cultivation of the Exorcist Chapter 12: Where is the hour hand pointing?

Being corrupted by evil spirits is a very terrifying thing.

The reason will gradually collapse, the spirit will become muddled, and the whole person will be full of negative energy, from despair to madness, and then to the final stage, death.

The way to delay this erosion is to keep calm and control your emotions from being swayed.

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

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

In Alex's room.

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

Of course, on the sofa in front of him lay the dead Alex, and the inexplicable black shadow remained the same.

Strands of black and fine silk threads emerged from Alex's body, and gradually merged with the black shadow. This situation reminded him of a kind of animal—leeches.

Then, he took out the silver cross dagger from his body, and walked in front of Alex.

Shaking the cross.

As they approached, some black thin threads broke, and then they seemed to have life, trying to gather together again.

During this process, Du Wei kept watching and standing at the black shadow behind the sofa.

He noticed.

The outline of this black shadow is somewhat like a woman, with four limbs, but the head does not have complete facial features, and the eyes are replaced by two hollows. When they look at each other, they can only see an indescribable Spooky and scary.

Holding the silver cross dagger, Du Wei slowly drew it out while approaching the shadow.

But from the beginning to the end, the black shadow didn't make any movement, and it didn't even pay attention to Du Wei. The target was always Alex.

rub...

Draw the dagger.

Hoo...

Du Wei waved towards the shadow.

In the next second, there was only a sense of emptiness, and the dagger passed directly through the shadow without any effect at all.

But...

At this moment, the black shadow moved. It raised its head, looked at Du Wei, and met its eyes.

Du Wei instantly felt his scalp tingle, and instead of his eyes being empty, there were vicious and greedy mood swings.

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

This idea came to Du Wei's mind, and he immediately chose to back away, and the sight of the black shadow followed him, as if a certain mechanism had been triggered?

Next.

The light in the room dimmed again.

Many places can't be seen clearly at all, only an area around them can be seen, whether it's the door or the window, it's all wrapped in a layer of black mist.

Du Wei took a deep breath, recalling the previous conversation with Alex in his mind.

If his guess is correct, the hallucination Alex saw should be no different from what he saw.

insisting on distinguishing, that is to say, what she saw was more serious, and even the concept of space was vague.

To borrow the words of Father Tony:

[Evil spirit, has the characteristic of ignoring space]

……

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

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

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

The black shadow kept staring at Du Wei with blank eyes.

But what is beyond comprehension is.

When the silver cross dagger was placed on Alex, many black and fine silk threads broke as if encountered a raging fire, but the black shadow did not move.

"Doesn't this have any effect on it?"

Du Wei frowned, and quickly stretched out his other hand, splashing the holy water in the glass bottle on the black shadow.

Buzz...

An indescribable sound came into Du Wei's ears, and he couldn't help but cover his ears, and it was just such a split second, when he raised his head again, there was nothing in front of him.

The black shadow completely disappeared.

The black and fine silk threads extending from Alex's body seemed to have never appeared before.

"Is it all right?"

Du Wei looked at the antique clock hanging on the wall, and said calmly: "No, not yet."

Ka Ka Ka Ka...

The hour hand of the damaged antique clock is constantly turning in a very regular rhythm.

In the extremely silent room, only the sound of the hour hand turning can be heard, and its minute hand and second hand are always overlapping.

In a sense, this has violated the rules of mechanical construction.

"Is this the medium? Does it exist in physical form, or is it attached to it?"

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

But it stopped at a distance of one meter.

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

This is a woman's hand. Although most of it is rotten, and even the bones can be seen, the slender five fingers, neat and round nails, and a female wedding ring on the ring finger are all Proving its identity.

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

Then, he took out the pistol, pulled the safety, pointed at that hand, and pulled the trigger!

Bang! ! !

This hand was instantly smashed to pieces!

See this ~IndoMTL.com~ Du Wei squinted his eyes: "It's really an entity?"

It stands to reason that evil spirits are formed by certain people after death or certain special existences, and their manifestations are often nihilistic. Even if they can affect reality, their essence cannot be physically manifested.

A thought vaguely appeared in his mind.

I seem to have gotten into trouble.

He didn't hesitate anymore, he walked quickly to the face of the antique clock, stepped on the vase, and reached out to take it off.

The entire antique clock feels very heavy to start with. The structure of wood and metal sheets looks very old. Some angel 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, the goat is often a metaphor, a symbol of evil and demons.

"Show people the holiness and hide the evil behind it?"

Du Wei thought of a line in a psychology-related work he read many years ago, describing certain pathological personality criminals.

"Now, it's time to end."

Then, he spread the shroud on the ground and placed the antique clock on it.

According to Father Tony, the holy water can temporarily disperse evil spirits, and the shroud can isolate the power of evil spirits.

However, at this moment, Du Wei's body froze suddenly, and a hand that was smooth, delicate, and well-maintained at first glance was placed on his shoulder.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, behind Du Wei, the expressionless Alex, with red eyes, raised a silver cross dagger in one hand and aimed it at his head.
