Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 609 - Target Lock Ghost

Chapter 609: Target: Lock Ghost Chapter 609: Target: Lock Ghost The night was deep…

Little John Wittbach, however, hadn’t gone to sleep.

He was mobilizing the forces and means he had secretly prepared, deciding to make his move.

Once Alex died,

Little John Wittbach could pin everything on his half-sibling, Saran. Whether the other party would catch on or have other means of counterattack was no longer important.

What mattered was

he just needed an excuse.

A scapegoat, a universally recognized scapegoat.

Suddenly…

...

The lights inside the room went out.

The surroundings plunged into darkness in an instant.

Little John Wittbach frowned and muttered in confusion, “What happened? Did someone make a move ahead of time?”

It was not possible for the Wittbach family to experience a power outage.

Unless it was deliberately cut off.

In other words, Saran might have already taken action.

“Luckily, I’m fully prepared, otherwise she might have disrupted my plans.”

He said to himself.

He then intended to call out for the butler to activate the backup circuit.

But before he could, a strange knocking sound suddenly started.

Thump thump thump…

Thump thump thump…

Urgent, yet rhythmic.

It carried a chilling coldness in the dark, as if knocking right next to one’s ear, seeping into the very marrow of the brain.

“Who’s out there?”

Little John Wittbach’s first instinct was that someone had infiltrated his home.

His gaze immediately turned extremely dangerous.

And then, he did something exactly like what Du Wei did when he first encountered the dark figure.

He pulled a silenced pistol from beneath the desk.

Quietly aiming at the door, he feigned confusion and said, “Butler? Why are you knocking at this hour? You should be activating the backup circuit.”

Outside…

The knocking persisted.

Seeing an opportunity, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang…

Bang bang…

The muffled gunshots from the pistol, fitted with a silencer, were sharp as bullets accurately pierced the door, spewing wood chips.

Little John Wittbach knew all too well the dangers of what he was doing.

At this time, any rustle could make him edgy.

He didn’t care about killing.

After several shots in a row,

the knocking finally stopped.

Little John Wittbach exhaled in relief, leaning against the wall with the gun in hand, he walked to the door while taking out his phone, intending to call the butler to handle the situation.

But strangely, his phone had no signal.

This unnerved him slightly, “Is the signal being jammed? Who exactly wants to kill me? Saran, or is it someone else?”

Little John Wittbach felt that something was very off.

He approached the door, grasping the handle.

“Let’s see exactly who’s trying to kill me.”

However…

As the creaking sound of the door opening echoed, there was nothing but emptiness outside.

Little John Wittbach’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and when he saw nobody there, the image of a man suddenly flashed through his mind.

“Such a method, could it be him…”

Little John Wittbach felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly closed the door, but when he turned around, he saw a black figure standing in the corner with bloodshot eyes, holding a cold, gleaming Dagger.

“Ah…”

Little John Wittbach let out a terrified scream, his body drenched in cold sweat as he collapsed to the ground, curling up into a ball.

But then right away.

He seemed to remember something and glared at the shadow, “You can’t kill me. The Wittbach family made an agreement with that man, Evil Spirits cannot harm me.”

Anybody could be attacked by an Evil Spirit.

Only the Wittbach family was perfectly exempt from this because Evil Spirits could not hurt them.

The shadow tilted its head and then vanished into thin air.

Little John Wittbach gasped for air furiously, cursing, “It must be that damn Du Wei. This has to be his doing. I thought it was him who made a move, but turns out it was an Evil Spirit that came.”

“Just you wait, you’ll pay for your foolish actions.”

“Your little Evil Spirit pet can’t harm me at all.”

However…

Rip…

The curtains were torn down, as if they were alive, and pounced directly at the man who had just felt he’d escaped death.

No matter how he struggled, the pristine curtains shrouded him tightly.

Immediately after, the man covered by the curtains began to levitate.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed both ends and viciously twisted.

Squelch…

Blood suddenly soaked the curtains that twisted into a bundle, as if wringing out a towel…

…

Meanwhile, inside the Wittbach family estate, others were also suffering from attacks by Evil Spirits.

They had a dream.

A continuous cycle, repeatedly being killed.

After waking up, they discovered they were still in a dream, unable to escape the pursuit of the terrifying creature with a face scorched by fire and wearing a green striped sweater.

The shadow and the Envelope, as well as Freddy.

They had a deep connection with Du Wei. The shadow had become Du Wei’s eternal shadow, the Envelope had signed the Indenture Contract, enslaved forever. With its death, Du Wei wouldn’t suffer any loss.

If Du Wei died, the Envelope would be finished on the spot.

As for Freddy…

The only Nightmare Evil Spirit that dared to make a deal with Du Wei could be commended for its courage but not called the most courageous of Evil Spirits.

Because before it, there was a bolder one named Pennywise that angered both Du Wei and the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

…

The next morning.

Within the Wittbach family estate.

It was a sleepless night for Du Wei. He had already received information from Kane about the vanished Five Keys Town on the map, where the Lock Ghost resided.

He had to leave now.

Alex’s grandparents, parents, and Frobin, among others, personally saw him off.

“What’s going on, why are there so few people? Where are the others?”

The head of the family, Old John, was dissatisfied using his cane, his face was gloomy. It seemed that his temper from his younger years was resurfacing due to the recent events.

Lawrence, his father-in-law, said with a smile: “I asked around, and apparently those who are not here had nightmares last night, so severe that they couldn’t get out of bed.”

Old John snorted and said, “That’s all just excuses. What about your brother? He didn’t come either?”

Lawrence replied, “I don’t know, I haven’t seen him, perhaps we should ask his butler?”

Old John became even more displeased and approached Du Wei, saying sincerely, “You are the son-in-law of the Wittbach family, and now you are leaving while those people didn’t show up, which makes me very angry.”

Du Wei said indifferently, “I don’t mind.”

Old John grunted, then stared at Du Wei with a strange look and whispered in his ear, “I have an even higher opinion of you now.”

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, “I have to go now.”

Old John nodded, then yawned and said, “Go on then, come back soon. I hope that the next time you return, my poor granddaughter will have woken up.”

Du Wei paused for a moment, then silently said in his heart, “She definitely will.”
