Chapter 42 Andy's Test?

"That's not what I meant. I meant..."

Looking at Father Matthew, who was smiling bitterly across the desk, the old black man felt a little confused.

He just didn't understand why the priest said Andy guessed everything.

I don't understand what the priest meant by killing him.

Not to mention Andy's talent.

How could a child who had recovered from his illness but was skinny and much weaker than his normal peers have the ability to kill a powerful dual-professional transcendent? Was there a hidden means? Andy was very talented in transcendence, but due to his status as a semi-transcendent, he had no chance to master any offensive abilities!

Moreover, you must know that reality is not like the historical illusions you experience during spiritual communication.

In reality, at Matthew’s level, even if his heart was gone and his head fell off, he wouldn’t necessarily die!

But the priest in front of him seemed to be saying that he was no match for the kid in terms of personal strength. "Guess what was in the suitcase he brought when he came?"

Facing the deputy mayor's puzzled look, the priest asked back quietly.

Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he said firmly: "Evil spirit, the evil spirit that caused the plane crash!"

"That evil spirit?"

The old black man was shocked when he heard this and quickly put down his pipe. "It's impossible. How could the evil spirit be in Andy's hand?"

“I also thought it was impossible at first.”

The priest replied in a low voice: "When I went to the hotel to look for him that day, I saw the suitcase and thought it was a misunderstanding. But later I thought about it and felt that he was using an empty suitcase to trick me, otherwise I would not have handed over the potion so readily."

"I thought this kid might be a little dishonest and hard to control. In order to learn more about his character, I went back to the hotel and used psychic telepathy to trace back history and investigate..."

"And then you discovered that there was an evil spirit in that box?"

The deputy mayor still didn't quite believe it. "Why would the evil spirit stay in the box so quietly? Why didn't it move after being carried by him for so long?"

"At this point, do you still think this is impossible for Andy?" Matthew asked in an inexplicable tone.

"The fact is, he didn't drive away the evil spirit, but tamed it, turning it from a vicious dog into a pet dog. I don't know how he did it, but it's... horrible."

"It's even more terrifying."

Under the stunned and somewhat dazed gaze of the old black man, Matthew whispered, "I've thought about it again these past few days and found that what he did was not a plot at all, but a test!"

"Probing?"

"Probing my reaction after seeing the suitcase, my expression, my choice, etc. When people are emotional, they always reveal a lot of information that should not be revealed."

As he said this, the priest took out a cigarette from somewhere.

He put the cigarette holder in his mouth and lit it with a lighter, saying vaguely, "Before the church assessment began, he used the suitcase to test me again."

"How did you test it?"

"He gave the box to my assistant."

"What does this prove?"

"It can prove a lot, including whether I went to the hotel to investigate him afterwards."

After taking a deep puff of cigarette, the priest leaned back in his chair, looking helpless and talking non-stop.

"You know, that box can seal evil spirits, it must be something extraordinary. It's hard for a normal person to resist checking it. Andy doesn't mind others touching it. But how can I dare to open it?"

"Not only did I not dare to, I even specifically told my assistant not to open it. When Andy returns, return it to him immediately and don't have any other ideas."

“But that’s the reveal.”

"I didn't dare to open it, which proves that I had investigated him. I investigated him, but was indifferent to the existence of the evil spirit, and I didn't ask him about it... I didn't react at the time, but at this time, will Andy still believe in me as a priest and treat him as his own?"

"...Are you being a little suspicious?"

The old black man was skeptical. "You said at the beginning that the child was sick and sitting in bed. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger. How could he have the energy to plot against you?"

"If that's not a test."

The priest, holding a cigarette between his fingers, asked back, "Why didn't he hide the container containing the horrible monster, but put it in the open so that others can see it at a glance when they enter?"

"But if he gave the box to your assistant as a test, wouldn't he be afraid that you would find an excuse to take the box away?"

"What excuse can I give him to avoid suspicion? I didn't take the box away when I was at the hotel, so why did I take it away later?"

"Besides, if he becomes suspicious just because of some irrelevant issues, won't this affect my plan?"

The black man said nothing when he heard this, as he felt his mind was too confused.

That weak and pitiful-looking sickly boy, could he really have such a deep mind? He couldn't believe it.

They could lay hidden cards silently to test others. If the priest hadn't pondered carefully during this period, he probably wouldn't have thought of the truth hidden in those things...

Could this be just a coincidence?

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

Intellectually, the deputy mayor did not think that Matthew would joke about this. He must have thought it over very carefully, and there might be other clues to prove it.

Emotionally, he was unwilling to believe that before today, none of them, the top rebels, knew Matthew's real plan, but the kid had guessed it.

If this is true, it is a bit scary and can no longer be described as genius.

That's a monster!

But is it possible...

After thinking for a long time, the deputy mayor still couldn't get a definite answer.

So he said slowly: "Since he can see that you have bad intentions, why doesn't he run? Why doesn't he escape? Instead, he would rather suffer humiliation and let us control him?"

"Using evil spirits to escape from York Harbor shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"He said something when Cardan rescued him from York Harbor."

Upon hearing this, the priest brought up another matter, "Everyone thought that he had long seen through our plan to have him join the organization, and he said he didn't mind."

"But what's the reality? What good will it do for a kid like him who knows that our organization is not a good one to show off his intelligence?"

"No benefit."

The deputy mayor replied, "On the contrary, it made you discover that he has a deep character, and then you looked for clues and guessed everything that happened just now."

"Yeah, why would he do that?"

"How should I know..."

"Because he knew that even if he didn't remind me, I would eventually figure it all out, so he used that sentence to calm me down."

"Hold you steady?"

"That's right. He calmed me down and told me not to have any other ideas and to continue doing this. He would cooperate tacitly and pretend that he knew nothing."

When he said this, Father Matthew smiled bitterly again.

"He may not have guessed about the disciple quota, but he must have seen clearly that I wanted to use him with bad intentions, and that it involved the royal family."

"Why should he cooperate?"

“The answer is actually quite obvious.”
