Chapter 11: Anthony will be very strong
When the assessment related to willpower begins, there will be a buffer time to allow young people to prepare mentally.
But in about ten minutes, the real test will quietly emerge.
The test comes from those devil statues.
They also speak of scripture.
Scriptures of the Gospel Church.
However, those scriptures, spoken from the mouth of the devil, are full of twisted, dark, and evil meanings.
The same words, when told by priests, can bring comfort and a sense of security to people.
In the devil's mouth, it only makes people feel endless gloom and boredom, and then the soul is polluted and the mind deviates in the direction of depravity.
This distortion of classic works, mixed with the spiritual erosion unique to the devil's whisper, is more effective for young people who have been influenced by theology since childhood.
It was as if telling them that everything they believed in loyally and seemingly sacredly was actually full of secrets and conspiracies.
It's just that you can't see those things.
Or, you saw it, but you turned a blind eye! Then you could see that in that floating "mirage", young people who were being tested were constantly trembling all over as if they were having an epileptic seizure.
Then, when he reached the limit of his endurance, he suddenly stood up and angrily swung his fist at the blood-red devil statue.
Then, they were greeted with the devils' crazy laughter!
The inability to sit still means that young people have failed the test of willpower.
In reality, this will only lead to the degradation of personality.
Or the coming of death! "This generation of young people is really surprising."
In just ten minutes, more than half of the people failed and left. The professor in the VIP seats on the second floor was very satisfied with this.
He was even a little surprised.
Because before this, he never thought that in this assessment, besides Andy, there would be someone else who could catch his eye.
There are two that catch my eye.
One of them is the blond and blue-eyed Anthony.
At this moment, he was standing in the center of the church, facing the devil at the pulpit, with his hands on the sword.
Although his whole body was shaking, his steps kept moving slowly forward, as if he was planning to kill the devil with one sword when he got close!
The other one is Sister Lily, whom the professor had paid attention to before.
Relatively speaking, she behaved very normally, just sitting there and reciting scriptures silently.
But under the devil's temptation, the upright posture remained stable and looked particularly elegant.
It also makes her look very relaxed and carefree.
"What a nice girl."
The professor began to praise, and then his eyes swept across the clouds above Andy's head.
The scene in the clouds was similar to that of Sister Lily. The black-haired boy sat there, equally calm, maintaining a pious and upright posture.
No matter how the devil whispers and tempts him, he remains motionless.
This surprised the professors who had high expectations of him.
“I didn’t expect that this child is also a devout believer?”
He turned around and said to the old bishop, his tone full of praise, "What Matthew brought back to you this time is really a good seedling."
"Maybe it's because I was weak since childhood and suffered a lot."
The old bishop replied.
He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually quite bitter inside.
He also said before that people who have suffered too much will be more easily led astray.
As a result, now he had to use the same words to slap himself in the face...
In this world, the majority of people suffer and go astray.
But there are still a few people who can wash away the dross in the ordeal, strengthen their beliefs, and become a better person.
It turns out that Andy is just that kind of person.
Look at that standard prayer posture and that solemn and holy face. It is impossible to have that kind of aura without more than ten years of believer life.
This is piety visible to the naked eye!
He couldn't deny it even if he wanted to!
“Adversity breeds talent.”
The professor gave the bishop a meaningful look, then turned back and continued to observe everything below.
…
The nun in the spotlight, Sister Lily, is praying with her eyes closed.
The church was very quiet, but around her, there were whispers constantly emerging.
The distorted and crazy whispers, and the spiritual pollution that came with them, were like wave after wave of dirty waves, constantly hitting her.
However, no matter how rough the waves were, she was like a reef, her body fixed on the seat, never moving.
Lily even had the energy to think about other things.
“I don’t know if he listened to me.”
The girl silently thought about something that happened before and felt a little regretful.
Andy's strong memory made her feel that he might be the same type of person as herself - born with a photographic memory and a love of reading.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So even though she still didn't understand why he was better than her, subconsciously, when she looked at him again, she couldn't help feeling a little more intimate.
This feeling was not much, but it made her impulsively use the "secret language" prop to remind the other party.
In Lily's opinion, Andy, who has been fighting illness for many years, should have strong willpower.
But the strength of willpower is not only reflected in oneself.
The knowledge learned after birth is equally important.
For example, the classic books of the evangelical church.
Those books are like weapons of thought. With such weapons, it will be easier to fight against the devil and the enemy.
Instead of getting beaten with bare hands.
None of the young generation taking part in this assessment is weak in this regard. With the blessing of faith, they will surely be able to perform better than their own will!
But Andy, who came from a wild background, did not have this advantage.
He had no weapon.
Even if there is, it can't be very sharp.
This seemed unfair to Lily.
So she gave a reminder.
However, after calming down, the girl couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
She had always thought that Andy was a trouble.
But she had actually taken the initiative to give this trouble a chance? Although she hadn't seen any consequences at the moment, what if the boy came over to talk to her after the test? Even if this didn't cause any trouble, it would attract too much attention, which was very uncomfortable for Lily.
She is a quiet and low-key person. If it is not necessary, she is never willing to show herself in front of others.
As for those influential figures, our attitude has always been to stay as far away from them as possible.
"I hope he doesn't care about me."
Lily therefore prayed silently, "I hope you don't recognize those words as mine..."
It’s not certain whether you can recognize it or not, but this change in emotion is like a crack in the shield.
This crack made her mentality, which should have been able to easily hold on under the devil's whispers, become hazy and unstable.
The girl sighed at this, and then decided not to continue -
She is a very self-aware girl. Before the test, she didn't think she could get first place in willpower.
Because she knew someone whose willpower was stronger than hers.
Anthony.
Anthony is known as the strongest rising star in his country in recent years.
Lily thought he would take first place.
Since she already had this understanding, she certainly didn't have any desire to be competitive, and there was no need for her to continue to hold on.
So she quit without hesitation.
Then,
After seeing everything in reality clearly, the girl was stunned.
