As the bathroom mirror completely shattered, the Evil Spirit and the wrinkled face of the woman vanished within it.
Du Wei removed the white mask, now with an added crack, and said to himself, "It's over."
He would never speak of this past to anyone again.
He pushed open the door to the bathroom.
Du Wei lit a cigarette for himself and, puffing on it, he walked down the stairs.
His pace was neither hurried nor slow, his eyes calm to the extreme.
When he reached the Antique Clock, Du Wei paused for a moment.
After thinking, he reached to the top of the Antique Clock and felt around, his fingertips touching something cold.
It was the ring engraved with the letters "val"…
If he had never touched the ring, Du Wei felt that he would never have been afflicted by the nun's curse, which made things more complicated.
The Antique Clock and the mask were of the same kind, and the ring and the Golden Brooch belonged to the same category as well.
The former imprisons the latter.
