Chapter 39: Full of Doubts

Today, the beach house became unusually lively.

At first, only the ugly man came flying over, and soon after, the black deputy mayor also hurried over with a group of people.

Then, the news seemed to spread to the entire island, and people continued to appear here.

Sister Lily, who had been watching from the sidelines, discovered that these people were basically all extraordinary beings! Many of them even seemed very powerful to her!

But no matter how strong they were, the expressions of these people when they looked at Andy contained very obvious emotions.

Surprise, delight, confusion, astonishment, shock, and even admiration...

This situation reached its peak after Andy reproduced the scene of attracting a large number of insects with conch shells! The people who gathered around him cheered and showed surprise on their faces. Then they discussed the matter with people around them with smiles on their faces.

The scene was somewhat similar to what Andy had experienced in the Starry Temple.

But the difference is that although he was also praised and cheered, at that time, people were only cheering for his extraordinary talent and potential.

Now, their gazes seemed to be looking at people of the same generation.

Or, it could be said that they were looking at someone stronger than them! "This is just a basic ability like spirit communication."

The lively scene continued into the evening. The ugly man couldn't stand it anymore, so he took his daughter and left the island.

On the way back, he sighed and said, "When he becomes a formal extraordinary person, I dare not imagine how much shock he will bring to us."

"I mean, he always gives people unexpected surprises and breaks other people's inherent perceptions. Have you noticed this?"

"At first I thought he chose to communicate with spirits just for fun, but I didn't expect that he could use such a low-level ability to this extent..."

The ugly man sighed for a long time and was obviously very excited.

Lily on the side remained silent.

After watching for so long, she has figured out what is going on.

The island on the sea is not a simple island. The specific situation is unknown, but it has a very powerful and important function.

That is, people with bad intentions cannot see the island at all! Or, in other words, people that the rebel organization does not want to see will definitely not see the island! Moreover, it can be moved!

It seemed that there were many other functions, but unfortunately Lily had no way of understanding them in a short period of time.

But she had already seen clearly that the island was obviously the core base of the organization.

However, the core base is not absolutely safe.

Although external dangers cannot get close, it has a serious internal hidden danger, that is, pests growing on its body.

The pest is the round-horned sandworm.

The round-horned sandworm is a bug that looks ordinary but has special abilities.

They like to dig holes, and the toxins contained in their bodies are weak but "tough" corrosive.

This characteristic seriously affected the core of the island, making the originally absolutely stable island become increasingly unstable.

The solution, of course, is to clean up these bugs.

However, the round-horned sandworm is extremely good at hiding. It is difficult to catch it not only for ordinary people but also for extraordinary people.

The main reason is that there are too many of them, they are spread all over the sandy soil of the island, and they reproduce too quickly, so it is impossible to catch them all.

This is a problem that has caused headaches for countless people in the organization. They have tried various methods but still find it difficult to solve.

But the corrosion caused by insect pests is continuous, like a time bomb that may explode at any time and destroy the core base under their feet, leaving them "displaced".

So, when they found out that Andy had created a method to attract a large group of pests just by blowing a conch, they naturally couldn't sit still and ran over to watch.

Then I was pleasantly surprised.

As a matter of course, their attitude towards Andy was very different from that towards other young people.

After all, a problem that had troubled the rebels for more than ten years was easily solved by a "kid" who had only arrived a few days ago.

In this situation, who would still have the nerve to look at the boy as a "junior"? Some humble and studious extraordinary people didn't even care about seniority and face at all, and came up to the boy to ask for advice! No wonder the ugly man left with his daughter halfway.

There was no way, there were too many people and the two of them couldn't get close at all.

There is no chance to understand how the technique of blowing the conch is done.

…

Lily had a chance to figure this out.

Because after the conversation in the morning, she had made an appointment with Andy that she would come and report to him as soon as there was any progress.

She also didn't think that solving the base's pest problem was more important than what the two were about to do.

The pests in the base are limited to causing harm to the base, but the old pest that is the housekeeper is causing harm to the entire country!

But it seems that there will be no problem at least for Andy to become a formal superhuman.

But at this moment, seeing that Andy was valued so much by the organization, she couldn't feel happy.

It is not out of jealousy, or because you feel that the other person has become unattainable after having made great achievements.

But it was because she sensed something was wrong.

"As long as one is a psychic, he or she can learn the technique of attracting insects, right?"

When they arrived at the manor, Lily suddenly asked her father, "For example, a psychic of Father Matthew's level."

"If I can communicate with spirits and get Andy's music score, I should be able to do it."

The ugly man said without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem with Matthew. When he found Andy at the plane crash site, the method he used was actually the high-level ability of a psychic."

The priest is a multi-professional, an exorcist and a psychic. It is said that in the past two years, he has been preparing to take up a third profession.

Many people know this.

Lily nodded, then pretended to be curious and asked, "After being transferred, the priest suddenly disappeared. Do you know where he went?"

"You may have some misunderstandings about your father."

The ugly man was helpless when he heard this. "Father Matthew is my leader, and even your grandfather's leader. Where is the leader? Can he still report to his subordinates?"

"Could it be on that island?" Lily asked again.

"Probably not."

The ugly man replied, "If we were really on that island, why would we need to arrange for someone to take care of Andy?"

"Didn't you say that we are subordinates? It's normal for subordinates to do things for their leaders, right?"

"That's normal, but Andy shouldn't be included in the things he does. I mean, leaders also need to cultivate their own people. Only a fool would leave a genius like Andy there to be taken care of by his subordinates, and not try to get closer to him."

Yeah, only a fool would do that.

The girl thought.

Is Father Matthew a fool?

Obviously not.

But he did it! There were many people around the cabin at the time, but Lily didn't join in the fun, she just watched quietly from the side.

Then she spotted a familiar face.

Father Matthew.

He didn't come closer, but just looked at it quietly from a distance for a few seconds, then turned and left as if he was very happy.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lily felt strange at the time.

Because the priest is Andy's guide, it is he who brings Andy into the door of the extraordinary world.

In the eyes of the extraordinary people, this kind of relationship is no different from that of a master and a disciple.

The relationship between a master and a disciple is naturally closer than that between any other.

But this is obviously not the case! If Father Matthew had been paying attention to Andy's progress in cultivation, he would not have known about Andy's method of attracting insects until now.

After all, she just happened to run into him when she rushed over early in the morning, and Andy didn't hide anything.

Why didn't the priest notice it? Was he busy? Or did he simply not care about Andy's practice? But wasn't the reason he used conspiracy to force Andy into the resistance organization because he valued his potential in the supernatural world?

If you value it, why are you too lazy to pay attention to it?

Could it be that there was something so important on the island that he couldn't leave? But no matter how busy he was, since he had already arrived at the island, he should have some time to talk to Andy and catch up with him, right?

Lily did ask about Andy's living conditions these days.

Mainly, she wanted to ask Andy, her new friend, if there was anything he needed, so that she could bring some for him next time she came.

Andy didn't mention anything about Father Matthew.

Just say that these days, whenever he needs anything, a "nanny aunt" will bring it to him.

I barely saw anyone else!

Is this normal?

A genius of that level seemed to be treated coldly. After being sent to the island with great effort, no one paid any attention to him...

If one didn't know the whole story, a normal person would probably think Andy was in prison when seeing his living conditions!

"what's on your mind?"

When they reached the door of the house inside the manor, the ugly man found that his daughter looked absent-minded, solemn, and seemed to be worried about something.

"nothing."

The girl answered immediately, looked at her father with a slightly wary look, then turned and hurried away.

This made the ugly man feel a little confused.

"This child's rebellious phase must have ended a long time ago." He wondered, "Why is he acting more and more strange recently?"

"Is it really like what those people say, that once children reach the age of puberty, they will become unreasonable?"

…

On the other hand, Lily originally planned to go to her grandfather to ask for clarification.

But halfway through the walk, she stopped.

First, I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it.

Second, she thought about it after she calmed down. Even if there was something wrong, would her grandfather tell her? No.

He would only treat her as a child to be educated, and would not let her participate in deeper and more important things.

"Moreover, Andy doesn't seem to think that there is anything unusual about his situation..."

After carefully thinking about the conversation with the boy in the morning, Lily's worries were alleviated.

Is it possible that Andy couldn't understand something that he could see clearly?

Since Andy didn't show any worry at all, it proved that I was most likely overthinking it!

"That's right. Grandfather and Father Matthew, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible for them to have any ill will towards Andy."

"They have no reason at all..."

Lily reluctantly suppressed her doubts in her heart, then touched the letter hidden tightly in her arms and decided to focus on what she really had to do.

Andy didn't say much about how to get rid of the butler, he just wrote a letter.

Since it is a letter, of course it should be given to others.

However, after looking at the sky, the girl did not plan to do errands or deliver the letter right away.

Although this is a simple thing, anyone can do it.

But on the one hand, this was her first time doing something big, and she had to be absolutely cautious.

Just let things happen naturally and don't show any signs of abnormality.

Otherwise, a rookie would easily get flustered when encountering setbacks, and accidents are inevitable - she has a good sense of self-awareness.

Secondly, it’s getting late now.

So Sister Lily decided to contact the recipient after she went to "work" tomorrow.
