Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 183 182, phone

10 a.m. sharp.

Inside the psychological consultation clinic.

Du Wei was cooking. He had planned to rest for a while after getting home, but he hadn't expected the shadow to jump out, seemingly vengeful and wanting to lay hands on him.

In addition to Annabelle, it suddenly tightened his psyche once again.

Stress response...

He wasn't particularly tired right now, but he was very hungry.

So he went to a nearby supermarket and bought some vegetables and meat.

Just then, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The ringtone was urgent.

Du Wei was somewhat surprised. Officer Tom and Father Tony shouldn't be calling him at this time. Could something have happened?

He had just gotten home...

After some thought, Du Wei still hurriedly dried his hands and took out his cell phone.

The contact displayed on the phone screen was Alex.

After the call connected.

Alex's somewhat sluggish voice came through, "Good morning, baby. Ugh... I got home late yesterday, and after having dinner with my parents, I just washed up and rested. I just woke up now and saw that you called me last night. I'm so sleepy right now."

After thinking for a while, Du Wei replied, "If you're sleepy, then sleep a bit more, get some good rest."

On the other end of the phone, Alex choked up, saying helplessly, "You really know how to care for someone. I'm not sleepy at all now..."

Du Wei was somewhat puzzled, "Why? Weren't you very sleepy just now?"

Alex said irritably, "Of course, it's because you annoyed me. Can't you say something sweet, like some touching love words?"

"Or, for instance, something sweeter, even nicknames like 'baby' or 'dear' would do."

"Also, did you call me yesterday for something? Didn't you tell me never to call you first? Is your matter resolved?"

"Hello? Baby, where are you? Why aren't you talking?"

Unable to help himself, Du Wei asked Alex, "Honey, what made you fall for me? I've always been curious. At that time, we should have been from two different worlds."

Over the phone, Alex huffed and said, "Are you suggesting that you think we shouldn't be together?"

Du Wei laughed off the implication, "That's not what I mean. I'm just really curious because, to be realistic, you really shouldn't have fallen for me."

Different family backgrounds breed different values, and with the influence of our elders, our standards for choosing a partner also differ.

For Du Wei, he never imagined that one day he would actually be in a relationship, considering matters of the heart.

This year he was 26, and before he turned 22, all he thought about was how to make his life better, later switching focus to avenging his parents.

Alex was different.

Rich, educated, very beautiful, and a scion of a historical family.

She could basically be described as the favored daughter of the heavens.

The average person would never get the chance to meet her, let alone entertain any thoughts.

Hearing Du Wei's inquiry, Alex couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Who says I can't like you? Why does there need to be a reason?"

"Women are emotional, men are rational. I think baby, you should smile more. I don't want to marry you and live together only to have you keep a poker face all day."

At these words, Du Wei was rendered speechless and could only lower his head and continue chopping vegetables.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Officer Tom's eyes were red as he barked orders to his subordinates.

He had recently been promoted and had more responsibilities than before.

His superiors trusted him a lot, after all, in New York, apart from him, they couldn't really find any other police officer who had managed to settle so many Evil Spirit homicide cases in just half a month.

Perhaps it was thanks to Du Wei...

As he thought, Officer Tom urged his subordinates, "Screen the surveillance systems across New York for me. If in three days we can't find out what those damn Cultists have been up to in New York, I guarantee I will kick your asses so hard you won't sit for a week—got it?"

"Boss! We heard you!"

Officer Tom clenched his jaws and stared at the surveillance screens fiercely, "Damn Cultists, before I settle the mess you've left, I swear I won't set foot in the Red Light District again! I will make sure you pay the price you deserve!"
