Chapter 70: 70 - Violence is meaningless if it's not used for killing

"Thank you, Father, I'll remember that, I'll be a good girl now even though I've had two abortions, and was previously a drug addict.

"May God forgive you, child."

Derrick replied skillfully, and then looked at the system.

[Unlock condition: Convince fifteen villains to change their minds (14/15)]

Derrick had been in the confessional for a few hours now, and the progress bar was finally almost full.

He found that this title task did not seem to be as difficult as he imagined.

At this time, another person walked into the confessional.

[Target does not meet the conditions]

Seeing the system prompt, Derrick lost interest in an instant.

But, since Derrick was sitting in the position of a priest, it was not easy to drive away the person, so he could only continue with the process.

"Father, I am guilty."

There was no need for Derrick to ask anything, the person who came up started speaking.

However, this voice seemed familiar to Derrick.

Immediately afterwards, the person said slowly, "I used to always listen to people's cries for help. I wanted to help those in need. I believed that there would be justice in the courts in broad daylight, but in the end I was just deceiving myself, only darkness can fight with darkness, I have to use more violence to stop violence"

Derrick felt that the more he heard it, the more familiar it became. When he looked closer to the gauze net, he saw that the other party was a man in a suit wearing sunglasses.

'Yo, isn't this Matt?'

Derrick remembered that Matt was a Catholic, so it was not very surprising that Matt came to church.

Just as Derrick was thinking, Matt had finished his confession and asked, "Father, do you think violence can really solve the problem?"

As Derrick was a priest, even if only for a few hours, Derrick took his time and answered in a polite voice, "It definitely can't, child."

Matt sighed, he knew what he did might be wrong, but what could he do?

Now that the situation in Hell's Kitchen was worsening, it was impossible for him to capture all the criminals.

However, Derrick didn't stop, and continued, "Violence can't solve any problems, BUT, it can solve the people who cause problems.

Matt: "..."

Although Matt believes that there is some truth in his sentence, was it okay for a priest to say such a thing?

Interrupted by Derrick, Matt's originally depressed mood became incoherent.

"Father, are you saying that violence is not completely wrong?"

Derrick then said in a deep voice, "Yes, if the problems can be solved easily, why should we care about the way they are solved."

Matt thought about it, then took a deep breath, "I see, force is only about solving the worst problems, and that makes sense, if violence isn't...

"Violence is meaningless if it's not used for killing."

Matt: "..."

Derrick: "..."

"You are not a priest, who are you?"

Matt questioned, this time he finally discovered the priest's abnormality.

Derrick tried to explain, "Child, what are you talking about? I am a priest."

Matt didn't believe it at all, and immediately concentrated his skills of perception to the opposite side.

At the same time, he heard a heartbeat.

Boom boom boom!

'....This time it's a minuet, and it's you again. ' (E/N: As far as I know, a minuet is a song on which couples danced in the 18th century)

Matt covered his heart with a pale face, he didn't expect to hear Beethoven again here.

Derrick said cheerfully, "What a coincidence, Lawyer Murdock, was the food delicious last time?"

Last time, Derrick's stinky smoke bombs tortured Matt a lot. The smell lingered on the tip of his nose for a long time, and he had to vomit for several days before he calmed down. As a result, when Fudge came back with a box of food from Derrick

Matt forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing here!?"

Derrick said helplessly, "Are you blind? I'm a priest, isn't it normal to find one in a church?"

"You are not a priest, the person lying next to you is the real priest."

If there were such a bad priest, the church would be done for sooner or later.

With his powerful perception, Matt was able to perceive that there was another person in the small space beside Derrick. Judging by the beating of his heart, the other person should be just unconscious.

"He fell asleep, so I came to take his place." Derrick opened his eyes and started talking nonsense, "Lawyer Murdock, if there is nothing else, please don't block the faithful believers who need to use the confessional."

His tone was very calm, and it sounded as if he was really thinking about the people.

Derrick had the ability to control his heartbeat, even while lying, and Matt couldn't judge how much of what he said was true or false, but considering that this was a church, he clenched his fists and finally walked out of the confession room.

Before leaving, Matt warned, "I'll be watching you from outside!"

Derrick spread his hands to show his innocence. He was a decent priest, how could he ever mess around?

Soon after Matt left, a woman came in.

"Father, my precious cat, Tom died yesterday, can you please say a prayer for him?"

"Sorry, we don't say prayers for animals, our prayers are only open for the believers." Derrick resolutely refused.

"But, after the prayers, I wanted to donate $50,000 to the church."

"Hahalright, I'll do it but don't talk about it anywhere else.. I just want to pray for your catAlso, our church only accepts cash, you can hand it over to me, I'll put it in the treasury myself."

Matt, who was eavesdropping while sitting in the church: "..."

'If this kind of a person is a priest, God will kill this guy himself with a thunderbolt.'
