Chapter 4 Extraordinary Occupation

Misunderstanding resolved.

The tense atmosphere thus relaxed.

At this time, the air in the hotel's single room was still stuffy.

But the old air conditioner hanging on the wall was already blowing cold air here with all its might.

"I actually don't know who those people who kidnapped me are. I guess I might have a vicious stepmother, or brothers who are fighting for the family property. It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't plan to recognize my relatives."

The door was closed and outsiders had been cleared out.

The priest and Andy were sitting on either side of the coffee table on the balcony.

One question, one answer.

"I have been in poor health since I was young, so my mother hired a master from the Far East for me to practice boxing and kicking when I have nothing to do. I also often go to the shooting range. I have a cousin whose family runs this business."

…

"I'm not sure if you know, but the Kung Fu there is basically all about hitting the vital parts. I'm used to doing this, so when something happens, I won't hit other places."

…

"Flying a plane? Oh, I've never done that before, but I've read the pilot's manual. There's nothing I can do in that situation except apply what I've learned. So far, I've had good luck."

“…”

“…”

After the injection of the three medicines, Andy obviously returned to normal. Although he still looked sickly, it did not affect his life.

His answers were therefore very fluent.

Before coming here, Father Matthew had actually investigated the black-haired boy in front of him.

So he could judge that many of these answers matched the boy's previous living environment.

But he asked all this not because he really cared about it, but just wanted to ease the atmosphere and bring the two sides closer.

So when the time was right, the priest said thoughtfully, "Then, can you tell me how you survived that disaster?"

It was a disaster, not a plane crash. What Matthew meant was self-evident.

Of course he knew what was going on.

But he didn't quite understand why the boy was so calm at the time? "That evil spirit?"

Andy didn't shy away from this. He shrugged and said, "Actually, I've encountered this kind of thing before, so I have a lot of experience in dealing with it."

"You've encountered this many times?"

Father Matthew was stunned when he heard this and was a little bit unconvinced.

The reason is simple. The world is generally normal, and supernatural phenomena and extraordinary classes are not exposed to the public.

Evil spirits and other dark monsters wreak havoc every year, and there are quite a few of them.

But the world is too big and its population is too large.

On average, except for some special places, people who encounter those monsters can basically be considered unlucky.

If an ordinary person encounters something related to the supernatural twice in his life, he would be praised as extremely unlucky.

Not to mention, the boy mentioned that he had encountered...

"My mother is half Far Eastern. She is obsessed with something called inner strength and is very fascinated by those mysterious folk legends."

Andy explained: "She is often very interested in exploring haunted places that others dare not approach, so to speak."

"It would be fine if she was interested, but she always brought me along, saying that education should start from childhood."

The priest was speechless when he heard this.

He thought the answer was ridiculous, but he couldn't believe it was false.

Although there had been an investigation, unless he went there in person and used psychic communication to walk through all the routes the boy's mother had taken.

Otherwise, there will always be many blank life experiences that cannot be understood by outsiders.

But it didn't matter. Although Andy's past interested him, it was not the most important thing.

"Where are the graffiti?" Matthew asked again.

Using one's artistic talent to exorcise demons is not common sense, and ordinary people would not know this.

But the person in front of me is very skilled at it.

“It was my mother’s idea.”

Andy replied: "She once said that normal people can't resist mysterious forces at all, so instead of fighting head-on, it's better to try to use a soft approach."

"Soft?"

"Like, tell those monsters that I'm a good person."

The priest was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The graffiti in the cabin bathroom is dark, evil, and even crazy in style.

Normal people would probably be at risk of depression if they watched it for a long time.

But the person in front of me actually said that the graffiti actually meant that I am a good person?

this……

I guess only monsters can understand.

When you think about it this way, it seems quite reasonable?

After taking a deep look at Andy, Father Matthew did not intend to delve into the details.

In fact, after realizing what Andy's method of exorcising evil spirits was, he had given up trying to understand why the graffiti was so effective.

When he was young, his mentor once said something to him, which he thought made a lot of sense.

He is an ordinary person, you can communicate with him normally and understand everything he says and does.

When you see an excellent person, you will be amazed at his methods, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that you can do it too?

So I started to feel envious or jealous.

But in front of a genius, you will be hit and feel that the gap between people is simply unbridgeable.

But no matter whether ordinary people or geniuses, most people will have a feeling when facing a certain type of people.

Very strong.

Why is it strong?

have no idea.

Can't understand.

There is no need to try to force yourself to understand, because it may not succeed.

On the contrary, it may lead you astray, even to the point of madness.

Thinking of this, Father Matthew fell silent.

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

Very interesting.

The boy in front of him was so weak that he could be half dead with just one punch, yet he could actually sigh like this...

"Since you know this world has supernatural powers."

As the priest picked up a glass of boiled water from the coffee table, he changed the subject and said, "Have you ever thought that you can control everything?"

This time he came not just to satisfy his curiosity.

Instead, he planned to lead the boy in front of him into the door of the extraordinary world.

Andy is a treasure.

Letting precious treasures become covered in dust in the turbid world, drifting with the tide, or even being smashed to pieces is a complete waste of resources.

He should have done something bigger than die quietly in a corner! "Not an external object like a painting."

The priest said emphatically: "It is the power you can truly control and truly possess."

"In your church," Andy asked, raising an eyebrow, "is there a way to obtain this kind of power?"

"That's right."

"But, I heard that if you join the church, you can't have a girlfriend?"

"…That was the old rule. It has been abolished since the Reformation."

“I see.”

Andy didn't say anything more after hearing this, but mentioned the main point, "Can you cure my disease?"

"cannot."

"cannot?"

"Cancer is different from ordinary diseases, especially advanced cancer."

Matthew shook his head and said, "With our current conditions, we can't cure it, we can only delay it, prolong the time of your death."

"but."

He then added, "If you have confidence in yourself, you can go find a way to completely cure it yourself after this."

"After all, as long as you possess that extraordinary power, nothing is impossible."

This is actually not true.

Because for most extraordinary people, their extraordinary careers are nothing more than going with the flow.

Even if they possess powers that ordinary people cannot possess, they are just mediocre people, and their biggest advantage is that they were born into a good family.

Only someone with such extraordinary talent as the boy in front of him can be said to have nothing impossible.

Father Matthew seemed very confident in him.

Andy was silent for a moment, then asked, "What exactly are they?"

The priest came prepared.

After hearing this, he smiled and took out a deck of cards.

"Priest, knight, scribe, inquisitor, painter, exorcist..."

As he spoke, Matthew neatly placed the cards with corresponding images on the coffee table.

"Extraordinary, extraordinary profession, born from the secular world, but transcending the secular world."

After saying this, he handed the last card in his hand to Andy.

"You haven't gotten started yet, so you can only use this little thing to feel its charm."

"This is?"

Andy was very curious about this.

The card is completely black. When you hold it in your hand, it feels like metal, but it is light and weightless.

On the back is the golden symbol of the Evangelical Church, to which Father Matthew belongs - an outer ring, an inner triangle, and a small cross in the middle.

"It's a new tool developed by the Holy City Headquarters. You'll know its specific use the first time you drop blood on it." The priest replied.

Andy nodded, then bit his finger and smeared the blood on it.

Then, a bust of him gradually emerged on the dark front of the card.

And a little personal introduction——

[Occupation: None] …

That’s all.
