is the son of the Holy See, but the master of black magic

Chapter 20 Offline
The daytime in a tropical desert climate is unbearably hot.

But once it was night, it was so cold that people shivered.

Although there are two sets of clothes in the travel backpack, they are all thin shirts and jeans.

Even if they are put on together, it will have no effect on Andy, who is in extremely poor physical condition.

He didn't bother himself, and simply wore the slim black suit and trousers that he had when he first arrived—the clothes soaked in seawater had been cleaned very diligently by the priest's female assistant two days ago.

So from the outside, Andy still looks like a rich man.

Unfortunately, the situation is completely inconsistent.

At this time, he was sitting on the platform at the bottom of a bridge across the river, his legs were hanging in the air, and the rushing river was below him. The continuous flow of water looked deep and dark at night, quite penetrating.

But Andy, who was holding a backpack in his arms, didn't look down at his feet, but was looking at the clear starry sky above his head, his face was pale from the cold, and he was muttering to himself.

"If it's not the case, let it be happy and angry, divide love and hate, pick up people's faults, and be violent and chaotic. Those who do things wrong may not be able to be rationalized; those who are in a hurry may not be invincible. If you don't lose something shallow, you will lose it impetuously. If you don't have time to deal with things, you will be afraid of public resentment. Don't blame..."

At midnight, at the bottom of the middle of the bridge, surrounded by water, Andy still couldn't avoid the fate of being surrounded.

On the opposite side of the river bank, several cars were parked in the hazy darkness of the night, and pairs of eyes inside the cars were staring intently at the figure of the short boy under the bridge.

Among them, of course, is the mayor of the city.

The mayor is currently wrapped in a cashmere coat and sitting in a car with the heater on, watching with a night vision goggle in his hand, he is a little puzzled about this.

"What is this kid talking about?"

"Well, who knows."

The younger brother in the driver's seat was ambiguous, because he was tired and yawned after working hard for a long time.

"Maybe, maybe it's just a shiver. I mean, the teeth chattering kind of thing."

"Not quite like it."

The mayor with venomous eyes denied it, and frowned, thoughtfully, "Besides, he seems to be holding back, not desperate at all..."

It stands to reason that this is impossible.

Because the boy is facing a situation that can be said to be the enemy of the whole world.

Even if there is some means of resistance, who can he resist?
Are they the ones who are constantly provocative?
But even if they have the ability to kill them all, new people will still appear, and more and more.

In other words, the situation is not yet at its worst.

It happened today, and the people who hunted here were only some nearby.

But as time goes by and the news spreads, more and more people will inevitably come to join in the fun.

This may not bring any benefits, but it can show the attitude of supporting that old gentleman...

In such a situation, how can Andy resist?
As for a way out?
That's even more impossible.

Surrounded so closely, how could an outsider, with a weak body, be able to escape from this impenetrable net?
Besides, if the boy really has the ability to get out of trouble, ordinary people like them will not be the only ones who came to hunt him down...

But even though he thought that there would be no accidents, the mayor always had a strange feeling when he saw Andy muttering.

That is, everything is not beyond the other party's control.

But how is this possible?

"Maybe he's just putting on a show."

The younger brother at the side said: "Don't say he is a child, even if he is an adult, what else can he do in the face of this kind of battle, besides waiting to die?"

The mayor didn't speak when he heard the words, but his expression was still dubious.

Seeing this, the young man who was his own brother could only shake his head helplessly.

He only felt that his elder brother had been fascinated by this "opportunity" and wanted to seek opportunities for more.

But what more could there be?

At first, he was still in awe of the boy, feeling that he was not on the same level as the boy, and he was afraid that he would be retaliated against if he was inadvertent.

But in less than a day, the fear in his heart had completely dissipated.

Normal people obviously wouldn't sleep under a bridge, especially normal people with property.

But the boy happened to run here at this time, onto the surface of the water.

Of course, this was not out of his original intention, but because, no matter whether he went to a hotel, a private residence, or even any alley that could shelter from the wind, he would always be kicked out by people who came to find fault with him.

It's not that the boy didn't try to buy thick and warm clothes, but even if he had money, he couldn't spend it at all.

For more than ten hours, my brother accompanied the mayor to observe the boy for more than ten hours.

Except for dealing with the unlucky couple in the hotel during the period, he basically didn't divert his attention.

So he just looked at Andy like this and hit a wall for more than ten hours.

It can be said that this child is quite tenacious. He is constantly being hit, but he persists all the time, with an appearance of not being discouraged.

Let the young people have a little admiration.

But, what is the use of this?
Looking at the elder brother who had been staring at him for so long, but still full of energy, the younger brother secretly sighed.

Being targeted by a group of power-obsessed hyenas, the body will probably be robbed into a pile of rotten meat after death, right?

In other words, if it weren't for the group of hyenas who couldn't understand the "master"'s mind, I'm afraid they would rush to dismember the boy before he died.

Even so, there are still a few people who are brave enough to send people to rob and steal in the afternoon.

It's just that the boy hid them all.

But, can he escape today, and can he escape tomorrow?
Even if he could escape tomorrow, how could he escape his illness?
"So, why didn't you die sooner?"

Looking at the small figure hidden in the night in the middle of the river, the young man felt faintly impatient, wishing he could run up and push the boy into the river with his own hands.

Save them from wasting time here, staying up all night in the cold!

When he thought this way, he had no idea that the life and death of him and the group of people around him were actually all in the thought of that "damn" boy...

"Teeths that are hard will break, and tongues that are soft will survive. Softness will overcome rigidity, and weakness will overcome strength. Fighting will always hurt, and bravery will perish. Baixing—"

There was a sudden pause in the muttering, followed by a bang, which was quite obvious at night.

Everyone on the bank looked intently, only to find that it was just the boy slapping the backpack in his arms hard.

Could it be some kind of mosquito?
No one cared about this little detail, and after cursing a few words, they ignored it.

Of course, even if they didn't ignore it, they wouldn't be able to find it at all. At this moment, inside the brown backpack, there were bunches of thick, liquid-like black mist constantly overflowing from the suitcase like tentacles.

Then the whole body trembled, entangled and swelled, ready to move!
"You really are a no-brainer. I have read you the Ninja Sutra for so long, but you haven't listened to a single word..."

"My mother, you are really annoying."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, isn't it okay if I don't say that?"

"Wait, wait, wait."

"There is always a time when you appear..."

Whispering like this, Andy's thinking was a little fuzzy.

Busy all day, tired, hungry, suffering from severe cancer pains, but also enduring the erosion of this idiot's breath in his arms.

He didn't pass out now, thanks to the medicine he injected before.

So, some people actually thought wrong, and Andy didn't have two days.

But only one day left.

"enough."

"It's either tonight or tomorrow night, it shouldn't be wrong, it should—"

A burst of engine roar suddenly broke the silence of the night, causing Andy's thoughts to pause suddenly.

Looking sideways, a glare of headlights made his vision pale in an instant.

That seems to be a group of drag racing parties on motorcycles?

Before I had time to think about it, a violent rumbling sound suddenly erupted in another direction.

It was deafening, as if a bomb had been detonated, and there were screams of astonishment.

Andy didn't have time to look in the direction of the explosion, because a strange but familiar words suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Jump!"

The voice came suddenly, but after Andy heard the words, as if he had expected it, he jumped without hesitation!
Then the figure holding the backpack disappeared on the night river with a plop!
It wasn't loud, and there were distractions from successive explosions.

But the mayor, who was suspicious, never gave up on Andy.

So when other people were distracted and didn't realize it, he witnessed everything just now with his own eyes!
The boy who disappeared under the water made his expression darken instantly.

I got out of the car and hurriedly approached to check, but I didn't see anything.

So this gentle middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out a pistol from his pocket, and fired three shots at the water surface decisively.

No gain.

The mayor's face became more gloomy, and his heart was full of anger.

In sight, except for a little ripple on the water surface, there are no other traces!
Such a big living person disappeared just like that!
Is it a person who disappears?

No!

That is a great credit!

It is enough to prove that the kid has accomplices!

As a result, I obviously became suspicious, but I was still negligent...

"!!!"

The annoyed mayor was incompetently furious for a while, and finally took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said a word to his younger brother who rushed to his side.

"He did it on purpose!"

"What, what?" The younger brother was a little terrified by the mayor's penetrating eyes.

"Deliberately acting so miserable during the day! Deliberately pretending to be cornered and forced to come here. Otherwise, we would never have let him jump into the water and run away unprepared!"

...Can it still be like this?
The younger brother opened his mouth when he heard the words, but did not speak.

Because he is already confused.

Aren't they provoking and humiliating the boy as much as possible?

Everything is done on their own initiative...

Why did it become the help of the other party's escape?
He was a little confused.

The mayor didn't say anything to him.

In other words, what he said just now, he was actually smoothing out his thoughts and speaking to himself.

"There's a ghost inside!"

This is the only thought in his mind right now.
