Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 175 174. Tom's Breakdown

On the long, straight highway.

A McLaren GT was speeding by, creating a whirlwind as it roared past.

Inside the car.

Du Wei was just making a call to Alex.

He had thought he would spend a day and a half in Massas City, but hadn't expected so many unexpected developments to occur in just about eight hours, forcing him to leave.

Therefore, Du Wei awkwardly realized that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

If he returned to New York now, the alibi he had deliberately created would be problematic because Alex had already gone to her parents' city.

The two of them couldn't return to New York together.

He might as well give Alex a call, report his safety, and chat about meeting her parents.

However, it seemed that Alex had already gone to sleep, and he couldn't get through to her.

After thinking about it, Du Wei hung up, planning to find a more secluded stretch of road to park and sleep for the night.

But just as he hung up the phone, it rang again.

The caller was not Alex, but Officer Tom...

"Why is Tom calling me so late?"

Du Wei was a bit puzzled and pressed the answer button.

Soon, Tom's voice came through, filled with panic, "fuck! Mister Du Wei, where are you right now? I need your help!"@@@@

Du Wei was startled and said in a deep voice, "Have you encountered the Evil Spirit?"

Tom's voice trembled, "I don't know if that damn thing is an Evil Spirit, but I definitely saw her, I... I was getting cozy with a beauty! It ended before it even started because she scared us!"

Du Wei frowned and asked, "Her?"

Tom, on the verge of breakdown, replied, "Yes, that beautiful neighbor I've been wanting to hit on, the one I told you about before. You haven't forgotten, right?"

Du Wei responded, "I remember quite well."

On the other end of the phone, Tom was even more distraught, "So where are you now? My best friend, I really need you!"

After thinking for a moment, Du Wei vaguely replied, "I'm not in New York right now, um... I'm visiting my girlfriend's parents, but since you're in trouble there, as a friend, I'm going to head back immediately."

Tom expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, Du Wei. From now on, you're my best brother!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and then said with surprise, "Wait a second, didn't you just tell me the day before yesterday that you had a wealthy girlfriend and today you're meeting her parents? Did you knock her up or something?"

Tom turned back and took another look in the rearview mirror. The Evil Spirit was still sitting in the passenger seat, and her drooping head was now turning toward him.

With a glance from the corner of his eye, there was still nothing visible in the passenger seat.

Ordinary people without Spirit Vision are the most helpless when facing an Evil Spirit.

Right then, Tom didn't dare to look at the passenger seat again, sweating profusely, his shorts soaking wet...

fuck!

Involuntarily, the speed of the car became even faster, nearly reaching its limit.

Tom kept his eyes on the road ahead, but his left eye was watching the rearview mirror.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

The Evil Spirit's head in the rearview mirror had fully turned around, her whole face was looking at him, and it seemed to sense that he was watching it, as it leaned its head forward over his thigh.

He would meet its gaze if he just looked down.

But the thing was,

Tom couldn't see the Evil Spirit at all unless he looked through the rearview mirror.

It was incredibly eerie.

Tom swallowed hard; he had been driving for nearly ten years, but never before had he driven with such intense focus as he was now.

He told himself, "Stay calm, don't panic."

But the more he thought this, the more he fell apart. He realized he simply couldn't help but feel afraid.

And, the Evil Spirit's head was on his thigh, lifting upward as if it meant to kiss him.

Tom controlled himself not to look at the rearview mirror, even boldly lifting his chin toward the unseen Evil Spirit.

He looked quite ridiculous. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

But it must be said that after Tom lifted his chin, he could only see what was ahead, unable to see the horrifying image in the rearview mirror anymore.

Time ticked by slowly.

Tom suddenly realized that he wasn't scared anymore; aside from a bit of neck pain, everything else felt fine.

However, if he could see the image in the rearview mirror, he probably wouldn't have had such a thought.

Because in the rearview mirror, a rope was now looped around his neck, showing a tendency to be pulled upward.

His so-called lifting of the chin looked more like the effect of a rope tied around his neck, being lifted upward.
