Chapter 67 Andy's true identity?
Father Matthew obviously did not realize that an uninvited guest had quietly appeared in this bedroom.
His current situation is very embarrassing.
Although his appearance looked no different from before, his ankles, hidden under his trouser legs, were fastened with black anti-magic locks.
The room it is in is also completely sealed and was carefully built by an extraordinary architect.
It doesn’t look like a prison, but it’s more heavily guarded than the prison on the island!
It can be said that Andy's words not long ago made him fall from the position of being a leader of the organization to a prisoner under supervision and vigilance in an instant! But he did not despair because of this.
Because he has backup.
The backup is of course the old man in the mirror.
In fact, before joining the Evangelical Church, young Father Matthew was already a student of the old voodoo master.
However, the other party did not accept him into the voodoo cult. Instead, they secretly sent him to the Evangelical Church.
It wasn't that he was a spy, but they actually stuffed him in and then left him alone.
Over the decades, Father Matthew continued to grow and eventually earned the title of chief exorcist.
But he kept his distance from his former teacher.
After all, voodoo and the evangelical church are hostile to each other, and the scale and foundation of the former cannot compare with the world-class gospel.
There is no need to think too much about where you can stay if you have a better future.
But fate is a very strange thing.
Originally keeping a distance, their attitude gradually softened as they encountered setbacks again and again and witnessed the corruption and infighting within evangelical churches.
When he failed in his bid for the position of bishop, Father Matthew naturally contacted this childhood teacher, with whom he had not spoken for many years, without waiting for the other party to take the initiative.
It was just contact, restoring a little bit of the severed relationship, and nothing else.
It wasn't until he met Andy in the plane crash and discovered a great opportunity to threaten the royal family of York that he had new ideas.
The priest really does not have any trustworthy subordinates or allies in the Gospel Church, and the rebel organization is even more useless.
In this situation, if Andy wanted to conceal his background from the church and the royal family, there was no other choice except Voodoo, a major African religion.
After all, Andy is not a local, and his extraordinary father is not a simple person either.
However, some clues need to be hidden all over the world, and it would be difficult for him to do it in two days by himself.
So Father Matthew decided to ask for external help.
In this regard, his teacher agreed without any hesitation, and still did not ask for anything! This made the priest grateful and alert, and he vaguely sensed the teacher's strategy towards him.
So during the execution of the plan, he cut off contact with the other party again.
Until now.
He was cornered by Andy...
"For your current predicament, I can give you two choices."
When the priest finished describing the current situation, the old voodoo in the mirror said calmly, "First, let us voodoo people take over this transaction instead of those around you."
Voodoo took over? Father Matthew heard this without hesitation and immediately asked: "What about the other one?"
"Another way is to start with the contract."
Old Voodoo said in a normal tone: "I have a blank devil's contract in my hand. You just need to find a way to use this contract in this transaction. Those traitors who betrayed you will naturally end up with nothing in the end."
"All the benefits and security guarantees gained through negotiations will also fall into your hands."
Devil's contract?
This is a rare item, I'm afraid even the Royal Family of York doesn't have it...
The teacher is so extraordinary? The priest frowned and pondered.
After a moment, he said, "I choose the third option."
"The third one?"
"Use the devil's contract to secretly take away the benefits of those traitors, and then all the benefits will fall into the hands of our master and disciple!"
us?
The old voodoo in the mirror smiled with relief but fear, "Very good, this is indeed the best choice for you."
"But I'm curious."
He then asked, "After getting this devil's contract, what do you want to tamper with?"
“Just a beneficiary.”
Matthew replied, "Write us two as the beneficiaries, and leave everything else alone."
"Didn't you think of tampering with Andy's request as revenge?"
"Of course I thought about it, but it's not a wise thing to do."
The priest said quietly, "It is more in our interest to let him cause trouble for the York royal family."
"Really?"
The old man in the mirror shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you have another idea in your mind."
"Let him have the highest expectations for the plan, let him think success is in sight, let him be excited and thrilled, and then suddenly encounter a huge failure... This kind of revenge is obviously more powerful than preventing his plan from being carried out."
Yes, it must have caused him great pain…Father Matthew silently agreed in his heart.
Then, in despair, he was killed by the York royal family! "This is what I learned from him today."
He also did not deny it on the surface. "Spiritual despair is more tormenting than physical difficulties. If it weren't for you, teacher, supporting me, I might have gone crazy on the spot."
When he said this, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of hatred, and it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
“That’s a good idea.”
The old voodoo in the mirror nodded, but then changed the subject and his expression became extremely serious.
"But I have to say that you'd better give up the mentality of competing with him, because it's beyond your ability!"
Overestimating your own abilities?
The priest frowned upon hearing this.
He never thought that he would receive such an evaluation from the teacher in front of him! Andy was very good, and he admitted that he could not compare with him.
But, he also saw through Andy's thoughts and methods...
You can't win the fight, the facts are in front of you and you can't refute them.
But he wasn't overestimating his own abilities, was he? It was easy to see that Father Matthew was not convinced. This middle-aged man was obviously still considering himself to be Andy's rival.
Seeing this, the old voodoo in the mirror sighed and said:
"There's something you may not know. The butler named Weaver was driven out of office by Andy."
Weaver?
The priest was surprised when he heard this, and then asked in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"Andy stays on the island all the time. How can he have the time and ability to do this?"
"While your organization suffered heavy losses, a family called Kezia managed to escape unscathed from the disaster."
Old Voodoo said, "What do you think they rely on?"
Kochia escaped unscathed?
Matthew was even more confused by this.
Because the island was closed, he had no idea about this!
However, the priest did not need to ask any more questions, as the old man in the mirror told Andy about his meeting with Sister Lily, Bishop Norman's private gathering of people to attack the housekeeper, and Sister Lily's saving of the family and other unusual behaviors.
These words not only revealed that Andy's abilities were more amazing than the priest thought.
It also revealed that Voodoo was not standing aside and their intelligence sources in York were very deep.
Although there are no more clues, these abruptnesses alone are enough to make people guess the truth.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After hearing this, Matthew was stunned and didn't speak for a while.
He seemed to find it hard to believe that all this, which had caused such heavy losses to the organization and angered the royal family, was actually done by Andy.
But it wasn't long before he came back to his senses and his tone became much more formal.
"While this is indeed shocking, I think—"
“That’s not all.”
The old witch interrupted the student and whispered, "After being in York for so long, haven't you discovered some special places?"
"...Where?"
"People in York are moody, prone to conflict, and tend to be more extreme."
"?"
"As the chief exorcist, you are only in your forties, but you have performed thousands of exorcisms."
"This is just what you did. What about other exorcists? How many exorcisms have they done?"
"Why do supernatural events happen so frequently in the country of York?"
“Is this normal compared to other countries?”
Compared with the others? The priest's expression gradually changed, "You mean..."
Old Voodoo did not respond, but continued to speak on his own: "Why did the plane crash that Andy encountered happen in York?"
"Why would the former owner of the evil spirit who died in the plane crash make such a reckless move of mutual destruction instead of threatening the enemy with the evil spirit and negotiating with them?"
"Why do the Royal Family of York act so crazy and fight among themselves when they encounter competition?"
"They have existed for nearly a thousand years. Don't they have any house rules?"
"Why would an old butler of low status be blinded by power and become so arrogant as to ignore the interests of his master?"
"Why are there so few good people in this country?"
"Have you ever thought about these?"
The priest said no more.
The frequent occurrence of supernatural events can be attributed to the corruption and bad behavior of the York royal family, which caused great resentment among the lower-class people and provided a large breeding ground for evil.
But if we combine the other clues mentioned by Old Voodoo and his cautious attitude, another possibility emerges...
After being in a trance for a while, the priest slowly uttered a few words.
"Devil from hell."
"There may be a powerful demon sleeping beneath the land of York!"
"It is the evil aura it carries that has polluted this land and caused more and more dark incidents."
"It is also because of this that this country has become increasingly abnormal!"
…
It’s not just the extraordinary class that hides deep in the secular world.
There are also various dark monsters that are hostile to humans.
And these dark monsters basically come from hell.
Demons and devils are both hell creatures, rare and of high status.
Devils are relatively civilized, while demons take the seven sins as their creed and take pleasure in polluting the human world.
Although their behaviors vary on the surface, in essence, demons are chaotic and disorderly, and are extremely evil beings!
The priest was a senior exorcist and was naturally very familiar with demons and dark monsters. After being reminded, he easily found the target that caused York's current situation.
"It must be at least a demon of the Grand Duke level, sleeping under this land, otherwise the scope of influence would not be so wide."
Seeing that he finally understood, the old voodoo said in a deep voice: "We in the voodoo cult have been investigating this matter for more than ten years, but we still have no clues."
"Until Andy showed up."
“Andy?”
The priest, who was frowning in thought, was startled when he heard this, then he remembered that the topic was about Andy at the beginning.
To say that he competes with Andy is to overestimate his own abilities.
But……
"What does this have to do with that little bastard?"
"Gifted with extraordinary talent, ruthless, good at perceiving and manipulating people's hearts."
"He can unexpectedly tame evil spirits, control evil spirits, and wantonly play with dark souls like evil spirits, and frequently do things that are beyond common sense..."
The old voodoo said dimly: "If I say so, he is the devil duke."
"He showed up in York to awaken his true self that was sleeping somewhere... Do you think this is possible?"
Is it possible? As soon as these words appeared, the priest's expression instantly became extremely stiff.
Keep thinking about the past, thinking about everything related to Andy.
This usually calm middle-aged man gradually turned pale, his expression became panicked, and he even began to tremble all over!
He is afraid!
The Duke of Anjou, who had been hiding in the dark and listening to their conversation, was completely stunned at this moment.
Andy?
The Demon Duke?
