He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is a little bumpy due to the airflow. Please return to your seat and keep your seat belt in place..."

The flight attendant's announcement should have been clear, but the painful coughs coming from the seat next to him made it difficult for Father Matthew to focus on it.

He followed the sound and saw a boy with thick black hair.

The boy was sitting by the window, wearing a suit and ties, and dressed maturely. He even wore an obviously expensive silver mechanical watch on his white wrist that was raised because he was coughing into his mouth.

But he looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, very thin.

His pale face and the blood stains he coughed up on his handkerchief proved that his physical condition was still extremely poor.

Late stage lung cancer.

Father Matthew made a silent judgment.

As a minor, he took the flight alone. He was seriously ill and had no family to take care of him. The living environment was obviously not very good.

He only had a few days to live.

Thinking of this, he turned back and didn't intend to pay attention.

The plane is about to crash.

And he wanted to investigate the cause and figure out what happened on the plane.

But there is no extra thought to sympathize with a passerby little boy.

Despite the boy's miserable situation.

But there are too many tragedies in the world.

Who can understand it?

However, the priest ignored him, but the other party took the initiative.

"Want to play cards?"

When Matthew turned his head, the boy suddenly looked at him. His voice was hoarse and rough from a long cough, but his pure blue eyes were full of innocence and expectation.

It seemed that this long and lonely journey made him a little bored.

Faced with such a look, the priest unconsciously felt pity.

only--

"No, thank you." He refused coldly.

"It's very funny, just look at it if you don't believe it."

The boy insisted, and regardless of the priest's reaction, he took out a brand new pair of playing cards, lowered his head, and started washing them back and forth.

The movements of his fingers are very flexible, and the poker cards are constantly flipping and jumping between the slender fingers, as if dancing, and there is a strange artistic beauty.

Father Matthew, who didn't intend to pay attention to it, was gradually attracted, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's not like he had never seen someone play poker so skillfully before, but those people were usually adult magicians or people in casinos.

It can be said that it has never been seen before that the person in front of me is so young and can play so well.

However, after the initial surprise, the priest lost interest.

In his opinion, this is a tacky juggling method after all, with little practical value, and it cannot be put on the stage.

"You're so sick and you still want to play."

"As expected of a child..."

Somewhat speechless, he planned to look away.

Suddenly his eyes went dark, and severe pain instantly emerged from his eyes!

Then, before the priest could scream in pain, he suddenly felt a lightness on his waist, and then the sound of a firearm being loaded was heard.

"boom--!"

At the end of his consciousness, there was only a roar that was close at hand.

…

When he woke up again, Father Matthew was still sitting in the economy class seat of the plane.

However, the sick little boy was no longer beside him, and there were no other passengers around.

The light in the empty cabin was dim and the environment was cold. Except for a young man dressed as an assistant, no one else existed.

"Have you channeled the truth about this plane crash, Father?"

The female assistant wearing glasses asked in a concerned tone.

The middle-aged priest with a calm temperament did not respond.

In other words, he, who was sitting there in a daze, had not yet recovered from the unexpected death.

This can't help but make the assistant feel a little worried.

Last night, a commercial airliner crashed into the sea and no passengers survived.

Right now they are investigating the cause of the disaster - using psychic means.

As the chief exorcist within the church in his country, Father Matthew’s channeling is certainly not a simple channeling.

The assistant didn't know the specific method of execution, but she knew that this kind of channeling was actually more like a historical retrospective.

Even more mysterious than historical retrieval.

It is immersive, to experience events that have happened in the surrounding environment.

The impact encountered there is no different from the real encounter.

Including the feeling of death!

And breaking away from the psychic state so quickly just now seemed to prove that the priest had already "died" once.

Although the priest had "died" many times in the past when dealing with various supernatural events, there were hundreds of ways to die. Maybe this time it had a particularly big impact on him?

It won't cause any mental illness...

"I was careless."

Just as he was worried, the priest suddenly spoke, "He popped out a card with his finger and blinded my eyes."

While speaking, Matthew's expression returned to normal, which made the assistant secretly relieved, and then asked quickly, "He? Who is it? The robber on the plane?"

"No."

"I am the robber."

The female assistant was startled by these words, and then she came to her senses.

What the priest actually said was that the identity of the "possessed" he channeled this time was one of the robbers who caused the plane crash.

However, in this case, who could the "him" in the priest's mouth be?

The female assistant looked curious.

It was a pity that Father Matthew had no intention of explaining anything to her.

After saying that, he closed his eyes again and started channeling for the second time.

…

Darkness came like a tidal wave, drowning Matthew's thoughts.

When I woke up again, the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

The seat beneath him was soft and a little trembling, and the sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded along with the boy's painful cough.

"Ladies and gentlemen, affected by the air current..."

The priest ignored these movements. When he came, he didn't open his eyes, but immediately reached out to cover the pistol in his waist.

It's hard to kill an adult with cards alone.

Therefore, as long as the other party is not exposed to this dangerous weapon, there will be no trouble.

Father Matthew thought so.

Unfortunately, he made the wrong calculation.

Before the cough that was so close to my ears could stop, a sharp pain suddenly came from the carotid artery in my neck!

It was as if a metal fork was stabbed in silently but fiercely!

Then came the second, third...

Blood splattered, the murderer's methods were cruel and violent, and as the frightened screams around him became increasingly distant, Father Matthew's mind quickly left his psychic state.

"Uh, what are you..."

In a daze, the female assistant's voice sounded again, completely bringing him back to reality, "Not ready yet?"

No.

I'm back from the dead.

Matthew opened his eyes and responded secretly, but his expression was full of doubts.

His channeling is actually more like a simulated reappearance of past scenes, in which the words and deeds of the characters are not static.

Instead, they will react differently based on the strength of their abilities in past scenes.

In other words, the boy is very adaptable.

When he saw the priest next to him making a move, he immediately changed his strategy. Instead of using cards to deceive him, he simply and brutally killed him.

Father Matthew thinks this is an exaggeration.

If the murderer who killed him was an adult or old elite agent, then he wouldn't see any problem with it.

Because those people have experienced a lot, they will not be hesitant in the face of changes like ordinary people.

However, a little boy, a little boy who was seriously ill, could react so decisively?

But just by casually covering his waist with his hand, the other party suddenly became suspicious and then got angry?

Not very simple...

Matthew thought.

If someone from the Inquisition found out, they would probably like this child very much, right?

The fact that he has such qualities at such a young age proves that he has a strong fighting talent and is a good candidate worthy of being cultivated into a transcendent.

pity……

After thinking for a long time, the priest closed his eyes again.

This time he decided to fight back as soon as he woke up and not give the other party any chance.

The birth of this idea was not because he was aroused to win or lose, or because he thought it was embarrassing to be killed twice by a child and he needed to save his face.

But he felt that if the boy was dealt with, the truth about the plane crash might come to light.

However, it is a pity.

This time it was even faster than last time.

After closing his eyes for less than ten seconds, he opened them again, a look of helplessness flashing across his face.

However, he subconsciously tensed up his muscles, wanting to use his adult physique to crush his young target.

Unexpectedly, before he fully woke up, the other party was keenly aware of his purpose, and then died tragically!

"A killing machine carefully trained since childhood?"

Ignoring the confused-looking young female assistant next to him, the priest murmured to himself, "At his age, he can be called a genius reserve even in the Inquisition Bureau, right?"

The boy's skill seems simple, but his proficiency, his character, and his ability to control the body's vital points and weapons are not something that just anyone can achieve.

"The distance is too close, and his judgment is very sharp..."

Matthew finally came to a conclusion very calmly, "I am no match for that child."

"I don't know what happened though."

Seeing that the priest seemed a little hesitant, the female assistant suggested in a low voice, "But if you encounter a problem, maybe you can take a rest first?"

"Need not."

The priest shook his head, "I plan to avoid him."

There were many passengers inside the plane before it crashed into the sea. Although his psychic could not "possess" him at will, there were still many targets that met the requirements.

So even though I realize that the boy is very important and special, if I can't beat him, I just can't beat him, and I can't force him.

So the priest stood up calmly, walked to another seat not far away, sat down, and then closed his eyes again.

…

Without the killing star, this time it went really smoothly.

Accompanied by the flight attendant's sweet announcement, the priest "possessed" an ordinary passenger and saw a boy not far away using poker to confuse the robbers around him. Then he unexpectedly popped out the card, shot in the eye, grabbed the gun, and launched a violent attack. Scenes.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectation.

The first gunshot was followed by the second one. The boy who stood up fired two shots in succession, accurately killing two people in different positions, causing chaos in the economy class.

Under a lot of screams of terror, more than 20 people angrily took out firearms and weapons that should not have been brought on the plane.

Then, they actually started attacking each other!

Pretending to be as frightened as the people around him and holding his head, the priest hiding under the seat was a little confused.

But then, he suddenly realized.

"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"

"So that's it. The child is not unaccompanied, but has been kidnapped!"

After realizing this, his messy thoughts were instantly smoothed.

Now Matthew can draw the conclusion that in addition to the normal passengers, there are two groups of people on the passenger plane.

One group kidnapped the boy, and the other group has no information yet, but they are obviously very sensitive and suspicious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be like a tinderbox, misled by the boy.

Maybe he's escorting something important?

So when you saw the boy kill one of your own with the second shot, and then saw another group of people taking out weapons, you thought you were surrounded and being targeted?

Whether this was the case, the priest was not sure, but he felt that this should be the truth.

So the way he looked at the boy in the distance became a little different.

In the past, although he was defeated and killed three times in succession, he never thought it was anything worth caring about.

It's not that this kid isn't awesome.

On the contrary, Father Matthew has never seen many such people in his life who can possess such killing methods and temperament at such a young age.

If the boy was discovered by the extraordinary believers, knights, or judges in the church, they would definitely be pleasantly surprised, and then regret that the boy died in the plane crash.

But Father Mathieu does not belong to this group.

Because he doesn't care about pure force, or the potential of force.

As the leading exorcist in the church in his country, Matthew is a clergyman.

Within the church, civilian officials have always looked down upon military officials.

They are very powerful, but so what?

His brain is only focused on combat-related aspects. At other times, he behaves like a bunch of fools.

In other words, they are just a group of barbarians!

But now, the boy's performance of driving away tigers and devouring wolves made the priest see a particularly surprising side of him.

Driving and inducing one group of people to attack another group of people may sound simple, but it is not something you can do just by thinking about it.

You need to have very keen vision and thinking to judge the situation of both tiger and wolf, so that you can gain positive gains when taking action, rather than backfire on yourself.

Especially in this case, when the two parties in the fight met by chance on the plane, the child was able to find the opportunity, see the situation clearly, and take decisive action!

It can be said that he has both wisdom and force.

The addition of the two is not as simple as 1+1 equals 2...

"Unfortunately, in reality, he died in a plane crash last night."

The priest regretted this.

Unexpectedly, during the short period of time he was thinking about it, the situation in the field suddenly changed!

The party being exploited by the boy was obviously at a disadvantage in the fight with the robbers, but this seemed to stimulate their already sensitive and impulsive nature.

I saw a short young man in the corner of the cabin, speaking the island Mandarin that was very unfamiliar to the priest. After yelling something, he suddenly opened the metal suitcase he was holding tightly in his hand!

In an instant, a large amount of thick black mist expanded and spewed out, like a volcanic eruption, and began to spread rapidly towards the surrounding cabin space with lightning speed!

Father Matthew, who had always remained calm, finally changed his expression at this moment.

"Evil spirit?"

"This intensity..."

"How could such a powerful evil spirit appear here!?"

Matthew was astonished in his heart, and completely lost the judgmental look he had shown just now.

He even felt horrified.

He is a priest and an exorcist. In his forty years of life, he has performed no less than a thousand exorcism rituals, so he is naturally very familiar with the existence of evil spirits.

It can be said that the evil spirit is a dark monster with no upper limit on strength.

A weak evil spirit can be destroyed with a wave of his hand, but a powerful evil spirit has the power to destroy a modern industrial city!

And the evil spirit that was released in front of him was obviously very strong in Matthew's opinion, even so strong that he couldn't resist it in reality!

"I see."

"This is the truth about the air crash..."

Black mist filled the body, and the priest could feel a pair of vicious eyes scanning him, and the vitality in his body quickly dissipated.

At the last moment, he raised his head with difficulty and looked at the boy who amazed him with regret.

The picture he saw made him stunned.

Just because he didn't see any fear or timidity on the child's face, what he saw was an expression full of ominousness.

Bad luck, but not afraid.

It seemed that the existence of the powerful evil spirit was not beyond the boy's knowledge, but after meeting him, he felt unexpectedly unlucky...

"He, how dare he?"

This thought flashed through his mind full of astonishment, and the priest's thoughts completely broke away from the medium.

Then, without any time to think about it, he stood up from the chair suddenly, pushed away the concerned female assistant in front of him, and rushed towards the cabin bathroom not far away.

At the end of the channeling scene, he saw the child getting into the bathroom, so if the boy really had any means of protecting himself from evil spirits, there should be traces left in the bathroom.

In fact, the priest had checked the bathroom before.

I just didn't see anything special.

Now that I entered it again, I saw nothing unusual - except for some vague dark marks on the clear surface of the dressing mirror.

It was some messy graffiti that had no aesthetic value at all.

Because the narrow bathroom was soaked by sea water, most of the graffiti marks have long since disappeared.

Judging from the few remaining parts, it can only be roughly distinguished that this thing is no different from an abstract painting that a child scribbles on a drawing board.

Although it is very consistent with the boy's identity and age as an ordinary person.

But on the other hand, it can be said that it is just an ordinary secular "means" and has no possibility of resisting evil spirits at all!

Especially, the evil spirit with that kind of intensity!

But, that child...

The priest had no idea what the truth was.

He has rich life experience and full experience in exorcism, but this matter is beyond his cognition!

But it doesn't matter.

He couldn't guess, but he could see.

Although he couldn't use his previous psychic methods to see because of the evil spirit, he still had other abilities.

Then I saw the priest standing in front of the mirror slowly exhaling and then closing his eyes tightly.

The heartbeat in his chest suddenly intensified, and two lines of blood oozed from the corners of his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the cramped bathroom of the cabin before the crash!

However, everything in his field of vision was covered with bursts of blue color, and his body was completely invisible.

This is the real scene of looking back at history, as a bystander.

You can only observe, not participate.

But enough to see the truth clearly.

Listening to the chaotic wailing, screaming and gunshots outside, Matthew began to wait quietly.

Not long after, the figure of the black-haired boy slammed the door and broke in. After penetrating the priest's body that did not belong to this time and space, he cut his finger in front of the mirror, and then quickly sketched it on the mirror.

Those graffiti are still there, but they are clearer and more complete than the remaining traces seen in reality.

Although the lines are messy and the blood is horrifying, there is no beauty at all.

But the priest who observed carefully could sense an aura of gloom, darkness, and despair.

Just like the many crazy paintings he had seen drawn by depressed or possessed geniuses on the drawing board.

It can be said that it is full of negative emotions, and it is simply torture for normal people to watch it!

"But how can this deal with evil spirits——"

Matthew's thoughts suddenly stopped.

Just because he saw a thick black mist, like seeping water, slowly eroding from outside the bathroom door!

Obviously, the power of the evil spirit has covered most areas of the aircraft and has begun to invade such sealed corners!

And what about the child?

His eyes shifted, and he happened to see the boy finishing the last stroke of the graffiti.

Then, under the priest's surprised gaze, a large amount of light suddenly burst out from it!

The light is like the dawn of dawn.

As soon as it appeared, the thick black mist that poured in was quickly dispersed, and even he who was watching was affected!

"That is--"

A possibility emerged in my sluggish mind.

But Matthew didn't have a chance to think about it carefully, and his thoughts quickly became blurred.

At the end of the time, he only saw the boy turning his head to look behind him, facing a terrifying face exposed from the black mist.

Then, he raised his hand and gave him a middle finger!

…

"There must be survivors, otherwise you can't explain why this plane can remain so intact!"

Feeling dizzy and confused.

Matthew, who had returned to reality, had not recovered from his trance when he heard a sudden burst of angry shouting outside the cabin.

"Because this is an emergency landing, it is controlled by a pilot, rather than losing control and falling into the sea. You must understand the difference between the two!"

"Is a ditching at sea difficult? Of course! Of course I know that."

"I even know that since the birth of the aircraft in 1895 until 1994, there has not been a single case of a commercial airliner successfully landing in the sea, not a single case!"

"But so what!"

"No one has done it before, but now it is. This driver is a miracle. He made history!"

"What? Who is he?"

"How the hell do I know who he is?"

"What you're telling me is, there are no survivors!"

"I just want to know now, which physics idiot came to this conclusion?"

"You have no fucking common sense!"

Outside the passenger plane is a beach shrouded in dazzling sunlight.

When he stepped out of the plane door absentmindedly, the priest saw that the man cursing was a middle-aged man with a beard.

Judging from his uniform, he was obviously a professional sent by the airline.

Normally, in the case of an air crash, this type of talent should be the first to arrive at the scene to investigate.

It's just that the superiors judged that this air crash was most likely a supernatural event, so Matthew was sent to take over the investigation.

This is indeed the case.

But now that he was scolded, he had no way to refute and could only remain silent.

In other words, Father Matthew currently has no extra thought to pay attention to such trivial matters.

"It's impossible for me to admit my mistake. That boy is indeed an ordinary person, without any extraordinary power in him."

"so……"

The dazed thoughts gradually became clear, and the heartbeat in the priest's chest involuntarily accelerated.

That was the unconcealable excitement when a treasure was discovered!

An ordinary person, by drawing an incomprehensible painting, can drive away a terrifying and powerful evil spirit that even a veteran exorcist like him feels unable to resist.

This kind of thing has never happened in the past, or in history.

In the history of the church, there was a pope who was extremely talented and did something similar in his later years using an ordinary oil painting.

But that one did more than just drive away the evil spirits, but went a step further and sealed the evil spirits away.

The reason that can cause this phenomenon is actually very simple.

Art is spiritual.

Books, paintings, music, sculptures...

Those top works that are famous in history, sought after by countless people, and even written into textbooks in various countries are extremely popular no matter where they are.

The extraordinary class hidden in the depths of the world has an extremely fanatical love for this kind of work!

And authors who can create works of that level, even if they are ordinary people, even if they are sick and in extremely poor health, will definitely be sought after.

The reason is very simple. This kind of person has extremely powerful potential in the extraordinary field, which can be said to be blessed by God!

This potential, in ancient times, would even attract the attention of a large number of evil demons, and then use all possible means to lure them into darkness.

In other words, with just a medium, the boy he saw through his psychic medium could soar into the sky and rise rapidly!

And this medium...

"The time to drive away the evil spirits and fly the plane into this sea was last night."

"He must not have gone far yet."

When the female assistant walked out of the cabin door, she saw the priest in front of her suddenly turning his head to look at her with a firm tone.

"We have to find him!"
