On the couch.


    Du Wei looked at the document in his hand, his expression somewhat ugly.


    He was pondering how exactly he could rid himself of the Antique Clock.


    Initially, the object was purchased from his girlfriend Alex''s hands.


    At that time, the hands had stopped moving and remained at the two o''clock position.


    Butter, when bizarre incidents erupted, the hands began to move again.


    And then, there appeared a rotten female arm, wearing on the ring finger, that ring engraved with the letters "val..."


    That ring was the reason Du Wei became tainted with The Nun''s curse.


    Afterward, Du Wei bought the Antique Clock, and things became even moreplex. It grew increasingly eerie among the evil spirits in the house, belonging to the most mysterious and terrifying kind.


    Whether it was Annabelle or the ck Shadow, or even the original Evil Spirit Du Wei, they were all influenced by it.


    It could even hold its own against the nun that leaped out of his dreams.


    And now, Du Wei clearly discovered that the Antique Clock had be even more terrifying...


    "If I made a deal with someone else, could I get rid of the Antique Clock?"


    Du Wei asked himself internally, suddenly feeling tempted.


    But after careful contemtion, he felt it wasn''t so simple.


    Because when Alex was influenced by the Antique Clock, it clearly wasn''t so frightening back then. The tenant brought it home merely wrapped in a Shroud.


    The saying "easy to invite the gods, hard to send them away" applied to the Antique Clock as well.


    Without a way to suppress it, thinking of sending it away was nothing more than a fool''s dream.


    Besides, even if he could send it away, he''d have to choose the person carefully.


    Du Wei couldn''t help but sigh, "But it seems all my enemies have died..."


    This was quite awkward...


    His neighbor Roy had wanted to kill him, but ended up being killed by the ck Shadow instead.


    The people from the Veda Sect had also died indirectly or directly at his hands.


    The Bald Man from the Dusk Bell Church had a grudge against him because of the Joker Card, but his fate was to be shot dead, and after dying, Du Wei personally turned him into the Masked Evil Spirit.


    Alive were only evil spirits, no enemies...


    Of course, it would be possible to pick a random person.


    But although Du Wei was somewhat cold-blooded, he couldn''t bring himself to harm someone without reason.


    "This is really troublesome!"


    Du Wei said helplessly.


    The next second.


    A thought suddenly emerged in his mind.


    "If I yed another gambling game with the evil spirits using the Joker Card and lost the Antique Clock as my stake, the sess rate should be very high."


    With this thought, Du Wei''s expression became strange.


    He began thinking of evil spirits that could engage in a gambling game with him.


    Annabelle was already locked away in a disy cab, not suitable, so he dismissed that option for the time being.


    The ck Shadow seemed to have be more astute and was not epting any gambles...


    The evil spirits in the Horror House were far too malicious towards the living to consider a gamble; they would probably want to kill him on sight.


    And the evil spirit in Madam Mina''s vi wasn''t suitable either, as there was an obvious spatial distortion urring, and though he had the key to leave, he couldn''t use it then.


    The original mask had already revealed a potential threat—the Evil Spirit Du Wei.


    The mask obtainedter belonged to the original evil spirit.


    As for the evil spirits of Massas City, Du Wei wanted to avoid them for the rest of his life. That ce was so eerie it was terrifying, the slightest incaution and you wouldn''t even know how you died.


    The more Du Wei thought about it, the more he felt a headacheing on: "It seems I have note across enough evil spirits..."


    With that, he flipped through the other contents of the file.


    There were items rted to two masks, as well as other objects.


    The one that Du Wei suspected might be rted to the Evil Spirit was a somewhat familiar painting—Another Door.


    When he first came into contact with the Evil Spirit, he had searched online and came across a post about this painting.


    Its collector was Roger from a suburban town in Conas State, but on Tuesday, July 14, 1978, the family of four vanished from the human world, never to be seen again.


    And now, this painting was being exhibited in a museum in Scolyn City.


    The other items had already been bought by wealthy buyers, scattered across many countries, and were simply out of reach for the time being.


    Seeing this, Du Wei couldn''t help but sigh, "Now I need two Evil Spirits, one rted to the mirror, to deal with the Evil Spirit Du Wei, and another to deal with the Antique Clock."


    "The former can only be found slowly, but thetter is not so troublesome."


    "The medical records I''ve kept at home are about toe in handy."


    At this moment.


    Alex walked out in a loose bathrobe, frowning and asked, "Baby, what are you mumbling about?"


    "Just thinking about something interesting..."


    With that, Du Wei looked up at Alex, who was approaching him.


    He was sitting on the couch, and Alex, fresh from the bath in her bathrobe, had skin that seemed even moister, giving her an extraordinarily radiantplexion. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire


    Alex noticed the look in Du Wei''s eyes, sat down calmly beside her boyfriend with even a hint of seduction, andzily asked, "Want to know what surprise I have prepared for you?"


    Smelling the faint scent near his nose, Du Wei tentatively said, "Is it you?"


    Alex''s eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed with a hint of red as she couldn''t help but roll her eyes, "That doesn''t sound like something you would say."


    Immediately, Du Wei felt embarrassed, "That''s an objective analysis."


    Alex snorted and said, "Indeed quite objective, analyze then, what do you think I want to do now?"


    Du Wei grew even more embarrassed, "I... I don''t know."


    Alex snorted, revealing a smile full of deep meaning, "When do you n to get engaged with me?"


    She neither confirmed nor denied but jumped to another topic instead.


    And this also meant that the rtionship between the two had moved one step closer, obtaining rity for both sides.


    Although Du Wei had never been in a rtionship before, he wouldn''t take marriage lightly. He thought about it seriously and answered, "After I meet your parents."


    His current situation was not bad, having escaped the tightrope walk where a slight misstep could plunge him into the abyss.


    As long as he dealt with the Evil Spirit Du Wei and the hidden dangers of Evil Spirit Transformation before meeting Alex''s parents, things should progress smoothly.


    Although Alex was not aware of theplex thoughts in Du Wei''s mind, she agreed wholeheartedly with her boyfriend''s words.


    So she gently kissed Du Wei''s cheek, "In that case, the surprise can wait until after you meet my parents."


    Then, she added softly, "But before that, I hope you can give me a little surprise."


    As her words settled.


    Alex climbed onto Du Wei, her long, straight and beautiful legs straddling his waist.@@novelbin@@


    Her actions were bold.


    Her intentions were simple and pure.


    Her blue eyes were as gentle as gems, seemingly about to drip water.


    Du Wei instinctively put down the file in his hand, his arms blocking Alex''s slender waist to prevent her from losing bnce and falling backwards.


    He felt he wasn''t as calm as he used to be.


    Du Wei asked in a somewhat peculiar tone, "What kind of surprise do you want..."


    Alexughed lightly, "Baby, I know you like me, and I know there''s a lot you haven''t told me, but I feel you''re definitely sincere with me..."


    "So let''s bring the conversation back to the surprise!"


    "Now, please do what you''re supposed to do."
