Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 619 - Familiar Feeling

Chapter 619: Familiar Feeling Chapter 619: Familiar Feeling Count Carlos felt his intelligence insulted.

The hunter named Puton before him was simply too ridiculous.

He lashed Puton over and over again with his whip.

Before long, Puton was left gasping for breath.

While whipping, he also said, “If you don’t confess honestly, I’ll whip you to death today.”

“And you, Ryan Hamel, had better be obedient, or neither of you will leave here alive today, and both will serve as sacrifices.”

The voice of Count Carlos was utterly furious.

...

Puton wailed and begged, “Although I did not tell the truth, my master is indeed the leader of the Vanity Sect; his name is Alfaria. He ordered me to push open the Red Gate, and then I appeared here.”

“We were all on the Ghost Ship before; we thought that by pushing open the Red Gate, we would enter the cabin and find Lock Ghost and that stele. That’s all I know; I really don’t know anything else.”

“Spare me, you have to believe me…”

Count Carlos tossed the whip aside and slapped Puton across the face, knocking him unconscious.

Then he spat out and said disgustedly, “Red Gate? I’ve never even heard of it. And Alfaria, too—I’ve followed the master to the Vanity Church before and never heard of anyone named Alfaria.”

“I have no idea who sent you, but you sure are stubborn.”

“In the past, I might have taken pleasure in torturing someone as hard-mouthed as you for a dozen years or so, but now… you just wait to become a sacrifice.”

Having said that, Count Carlos turned his gaze to Ryan Hamel.

“Your turn…”

Ryan Hamel forced a smile, “Esteemed Count, I am truly just a passing artist. If you don’t believe me, let me down and I’ll play you a Lullaby, how about that?”

“Or maybe I could draw you a picture?”

“I’ve just turned twenty this year; I don’t want to die!”

Count Carlos sneered coldly, “Good, it seems you’re also quite stubborn, so just die.”

After speaking, his aura suddenly became extremely cold.

In the darkness, something awoke.

Ryan Hamel’s gaze immediately turned ice-cold as he saw a pitch-black arm grasping his neck and another hand yanking his hair forcefully upwards.

Unable to breathe, yet forcibly made to tilt back his head.

The sense of suffocation was overwhelmingly strong.

Ryan Hamel had already decided to fight desperately; he knew how powerful his Evil Spirit Transformation Ability was, but it required time to grow gradually. Give him another two years, and this irrationally strong Count Carlos in front of him would be no match for him.

However, at that moment…

Suddenly…

Du Wei’s voice rang out, “Stop!”

Upon hearing this command, Count Carlos instinctively let go of Ryan Hamel.

At the same time, he turned around to look behind him.

There he saw Du Wei approaching fast with a dark expression on his face.

“Ah… Master, you’re back!”

“No wonder I saw a joy-bringing bird chirping this morning, it was because of you!”

Count Carlos knelt on one knee, his face which was just displaying brutality now showed extreme sycophancy, as if wearing a completely different face.

This attitude could even be described as slavishness.

Du Wei paused for a moment, suddenly feeling an eerie familiarity with Count Carlos before him, but they had never met, so there shouldn’t be any sense of familiarity…

And in his pocket…

The envelope trembled slightly…

This seems like its line, doesn’t it?

Du Wei then spoke coldly, “Carlos, without my orders, you are not to lay a finger on Ryan.”

“`

Count Carlos fawned, “Master, your command is the very reason I, Carlos, live. Whatever you ask of me, I will do.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Hamel was at a loss.

He looked at Du Wei, thinking to himself, “Is this man the master mentioned by Count Carlos, the leader of the Vanity Sect? Why does he want to save me? Could there be some conspiracy?”

Involuntarily, his wariness towards Du Wei intensified.

I must find a way to escape quickly.

As for the stele, I might as well give it up.

At this very moment.

Du Wei looked at the Ryan before him… or rather, the young Ryan Hamel, with an exceedingly complex gaze.

He said, “Ryan… it’s been a long time.”

Count Carlos, kneeling on one knee, turned deathly pale.

“Great master, do you know this person?”

Ryan Hamel also asked subconsciously, “Yes! Do we know each other, sir?”

Du Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, “Of course we know each other, it’s just that you don’t recognize me as I am now. Your name is Ryan Hamel, once a prodigy of the church, misunderstood by the world. Although I cannot understand your taste either.”

Ryan Hamel was confused: “I really have no recollection of you…”

Du Wei couldn’t help but laugh: “Right, you couldn’t possibly have a recollection of me, because we will meet in the distant future.”

Ryan Hamel said warily, “The distant future, what are you talking about? Sir, please forgive my inability to understand.”

Du Wei sighed, “Some things are inherently difficult to explain and understand.”

“And I cannot tell you too much.”

“Why?”

Ryan Hamel grew more puzzled.

Du Wei smiled at him, but his heart provided the answer, “Because I have a responsibility towards Ryan.”

In that moment,

he suddenly had an illusion.

It was as if he could feel his past self facing Minette, that indelible helplessness.

The appearance of one person was destined to be predicated on the death of another.

Du Wei was very aware that the Ryan Hamel before him, and the one he felt guilty about, who actually stemmed from the Evile Spirit Transformation Ability, were not the same person.

Nor were they so-called reincarnations.

But due to association, his feelings towards Ryan Hamel softened, or perhaps became more tolerant.

After all, according to historical deduction, Ryan Hamel’s death occurred many years later, not in his youth.

Which means he won’t die now.

Du Wei instructed Carlos, “Follow me, I need to know the current progress of the plan.”

Carlos nodded and agreed, then pointed at Ryan, “What about him?”

Du Wei, with a complicated tone, said, “Don’t worry about him for now, wait until I’ve got a handle on the current situation.”

Carlos said respectfully, “As you wish, master.”

After speaking, he immediately stood up, following three steps behind Du Wei.

…

At the entrance to the prison.

Du Wei calmly asked Carlos, “How is the plan progressing? Is the door I asked you to create finished?”

Carlos replied, “It will be completed tonight. By then, all the prisoners of Five Keys Town will be sacrificed, and everyone will become part of the new door, as well as a sacrifice for the old door.”

“Then, the link between the doors will be established.”

“According to the prophecy you left before your departure, the Lock Ghost behind the door, and the thing you desire, will both manifest in this world.”
