Standing on the high point of the city, Geralt and Hill looked at the remaining peaceful time of the city.
Hill had already informed the World Security Council of the intelligence obtained from Geralt. This act of civil war made the Council full of sorrow, but there was nothing they could do about it.
At this moment, Johnny Blaze is packing up and preparing to meet his ex-girlfriend.
After knowing that he had signed an agreement with Mephisto, Johnny left on a rainy day without saying a word in order not to burden his girlfriend.
The life after this is when Johnny becomes a stunt driver and rides the best on the road of constantly seeking death.
But today, he actually saw the person hidden in his heart and found out that she was not married yet, just like him.
The emergence of love made Johnny ignore the contract that had not appeared for many years. Normal life continued to attract him. Falling in love with his lover was so sweet.
Johnny kept changing clothes in the room, trying to find a perfect state to welcome his lover.
Finally, I put on a leather jacket that best represented myself, stood in front of the mirror, and said words of encouragement to myself.
"You can't live in fear, you are the best driver, you deserve better, the second chance is right in front of you, she is the sign..."
After washing his face and wiping it randomly to regain his mood, Johnny saw that his hands gradually became different.
Like a red-hot iron, Johnny's hand quickly evaporated the water on his hand, and even when he reached into the pool, the water boiled.
Pulling his hand out of the boiling water, Johnny didn't feel any discomfort.
Just as he was thinking, the roar of an engine came from outside the door.
The sound of the motorcycle's engine attracted Johnny. This special and unique sound aroused memories in Johnny's heart.
When Johnny went out to search, he saw a motorcycle at the intersection that he least expected to see. It was the car he used to elope with his girlfriend when he was young.
If he hadn't signed that contract, this car should have taken him and Luoshan to start a new life together.
Since his father died in a performance accident, he also understood his contract. The car took him away from its original place, and the motorcycle was also sealed for him.
But now, it stopped in front of him, with the engine still running, as if waiting for him.
Just when Johnny's hand was about to touch the handlebar, he pointed to the entrance of the alley, and a man walked out of the darkness with a cane.
"It's you! Stay away from me!"
"It's sad to say that, Johnny. What a cool car..."
Johnny was a little angry and said, "What are you doing here!"
Mephisto looked at the car and then at Johnny, counting Johnny's experiences as if he were looking at his favorite work.
"Johnny, I've been there all the time, Phoenix, Denver, Houston... I've been there for every one of your performances."
Hearing these locations, Johnny understood something. These locations were moments when his life hung on the line, but every time he stood up alive.
"It's you who prevent me from dying!"
Johnny and Mephisto circled each other around the motorcycle, and the two communicated across the motorcycle. Mephisto seemed to enjoy this kind of play, constantly approaching Johnny, but keeping a certain distance.
"Johnny, it's all up to you. You are the best driver, and I am your most enthusiastic fan. Those posters, games, and the strong shouts from the audience make me so proud, it's like watching a stroke of
Investment will continue to soar and appreciate until the day you cash out..."
Mephisto walked up to Johnny and whispered in his ear. The chilling words made Johnny's whole body tremble.
However, Johnny calmed down. He ignored Mephisto's words, got on the motorcycle, and was about to leave. Johnny turned the accelerator with his right hand, but the motorcycle did not respond at all.
Mephisto stood on the right side of Johnny, with the crutch in his hand resting on the motorcycle, and he kept tapping lightly and said: "That day is today, Johnny, you have to find the Black Heart Devil and destroy him!"
"Go find it yourself!"
Johnny's disobedience caused Mephisto's crutch to move from the motorcycle to Johnny's back, and then to his neck.
Mephisto pulled Johnny's neck with a crutch and said in the calmest tone: "The order of things is not like this. You signed the contract, remember? If you complete the contract, I will return your soul to you...
…”
Being familiar with the classics, Johnny knows that making a deal with the devil will not end well. As long as you don't agree, you won't fall into the trap.
So Johnny still rejected the deal and said: "Really? I won't do it!"
Mephisto released the crutch from Johnny's neck, then slammed the crutch on the ground and said: "You have no choice!"
After finishing speaking, Johnny's motorcycle started on its own, the tires rubbed violently on the ground and wiped away a layer of asphalt gravel.
After accelerating, the motorcycle rushed out with Johnny, leaving Mephisto alone, waiting for Johnny to complete the mission.
On the high building, Geralt felt the fluctuations of the activated hellfire and looked in the direction of Johnny.
"Coming!"
Geralt's reaction made Hill instantly energetic. Standing on the roof of the building and blowing in the wind made her feel a little drowsy.
Picking up the telescope, Hill prepared to look in the direction Geralt was looking.
However, as soon as he raised the telescope, Geralt snatched it away and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Hill was a little confused, but then she understood that there must be something wrong with it. Her move of picking up the telescope clearly triggered some danger.
"Ghost Rider is the judge. As long as you see him, he will notice you immediately, and then he will come to find you and judge and burn your soul."
Judge? This name intrigued Hill. From all the existing supernatural phenomena, no one or thing had ever received such an evaluation from Geralt.
However, Geralt's next words shattered Hill's illusions, and he even took a few steps away from the telescope.
"Ghost Rider will use the fire of hell to burn the other party's soul, and the other party will continue to experience the pain caused by the crimes he committed against other victims in the past. Any person or creature is a sinner in the eyes of Ghost Rider, even in his mind
Evil fantasies are sins, and he will burn them all. The guy inside is a madman."
The madman inside the body? Hill has grasped the key. Perhaps the source of this power is a unique existence?
Hill asked simply: "Can you tell me the source of this power? Is there any way to prevent it?"
"Prevention? Are you kidding? As long as there is a soul, you will be judged by the Ghost Rider. If there is no soul, the Hellfire of the Ghost Rider will burn them to ashes. Unless the enemy has neither a soul nor an immunity to hell.
The power of fire.
Ghost Rider has two completely different states during the day and night. During the day, he is an ordinary person who bleeds and gets injured. But at night, he is an invulnerable and terrifying knight. Even if you kill him during the day, he will burn his body after
After breaking his bones and throwing away his ashes, he will resurrect again in the dark night, and then come to talk to you about the price of sin.
The power of the Ghost Rider comes from an elemental demon lord - Zatanos. This guy originally established a tribe on the earth. By giving power, he conquered and enslaved other tribes through war, and then contributed to Zatanos.
Thannos's soul was eaten by him.
This behavior attracted the attention of Hell Lord Mephisto, because Mephisto is also a demon who gains power by stealing souls. This method of stealing people's money made Mephisto regard Zatanos as
For the sake of threat.
In an accidental situation, Mephisto found an opportunity to defeat Zathanos. He provoked a rebellion among the tribe's heirs, and Mephisto took the opportunity to inject doubt and distrust into Zathanos.
among his men.
This greatly weakened Zathanos' power, and Mephisto took the opportunity to blow up his body, enslaved his soul, and purged his memory in Hell.
He has lost his memory, but the hatred of betrayal has not been eliminated. Zatanos hates every betrayer, and this hatred is getting bigger and bigger, and finally spreads to every soul equally..."
Geralt's plain words told a plain story of hatred. Just when Hill wanted to ask more questions, a series of explosions forced her to stop.
Standing on the top of the building and looking down, from where Geralt was originally looking, it extended all the way to the outside of the city. There was a very obvious flame strip in the middle of the road. The glass on the roadside was shattered, and even the cars were on fire.
The fire then exploded.
All this was done in an instant. The moment the flames appeared, they were transferred outside the city and there was no time to react.
Hill couldn't believe that any enemy in the past could see the battle clearly, but this one was as fast as teleporting.
After calming down, Hill asked: "Is this the Ghost Rider? How can we find him at such a fast speed?"
Geralt thought for a while and said: "There are two ways. Either find someone who is not afraid of death, follow his flame trajectory, and keep following him, and you will find him. Or use satellites to track him..."
Hill was a little surprised. The first method was obviously unreliable, but why was the second method so convenient, quick and easy to operate?
"Didn't you say he feels every sight?"
"Yes, he can feel the line of sight, but he won't be free to search for satellites. Satellites have no souls. How can he still follow the network cable to find them?"
Geralt's buggy operation seemed to be commenting on a retard, which made Hill worry about the intelligence level of the Ghost Rider.
Yawning, Geralt covered his mouth and said sleepily: "Okay, it's time to go to rest. Go to bed early and get up early. Let's go see the Ghost Rider again during the day tomorrow..."
Geralt had a good sleep. It wasn't until the sun shed its warm light that Geralt got up from the bed and went about his business slowly.
After feeding the radishes, Geralt found Hill. Looking at his face, which clearly showed that he had not slept all night, Geralt quietly slowed down his steps.
After Hill saw Geralt, he pinched his brow hard to relieve himself from a bad night.
Display the map of the city on the tablet and hand it to Geralt. Several locations have already been circled on it.
Looking at Geralt's confused eyes, Hill explained: "Last night, Johnny Blaze destroyed an entire main road, blew up half a factory, and burned down a few people who were doing bad things.
people.
In the factory, Johnny was fighting someone, and the aftermath caused a magnitude 4 earthquake. We had to use geographical factors to fool him. Is the Black Heart Demon so powerful?"
Geralt picked up the cup on the table, put it under his nose and smelled the coffee inside. After thinking about it, he poured it out and replaced it with the eau-de-vie he carried with him.
After drinking a full glass, Geralt seemed to have recovered from his sleep and became the hunter Hill was familiar with.
Pouring himself another glass, Geralt said nonchalantly: "Did you misunderstand something again? Is the Black Heart Demon so weak? He was just a subordinate he recruited casually last night."
Thinking about the previous trip to hell, Geralt always used strategies and words to compete with the Black Heart Demon. Hill indeed did not see the Black Heart Demon's real level of attack, which also caused her to misunderstand the demon's strength.
He casually marked the report with a cross and gave up on the report he had written last night. Hill took the water of life from Geralt's hand and took a deep sip.
The intense stimulation made Hill couldn't help coughing, and he ate the moss ball fruit handed over by Geralt. Hill asked: "There are so many demons on the earth? How did he find his subordinates?"
"The devil doesn't care about these problems. As long as he is strong, he will have weak people attached to him with just one move. Remember the previous news? The massacre in the biker bar, as long as there is a soul, you can recruit enough cannon fodder.
As for how many demons there are, you have to ask Mephisto. He is the king who controls hell. All the passages to hell are under his control. Only some passages that are really small and have no value will be destroyed.
Others fight for it.”
As Geralt explained, he checked the situation of the dispatching yard on the tablet. This old dispatching station seemed to have been bombed. More than half of the building was destroyed, and the ash and traces of flames produced by the burning covered almost all the buildings.
All places.
And now, SHIELD agents have taken over the place and sealed off the dispatch station.
Putting down the tablet, Geralt asked: "Where is Johnny now?"
In the cemetery, Carter Shirey was looking at the people in the distance. These people had appeared around the cemetery since Johnny appeared in the early morning. But they were just observing and did not take any other actions.
Standing in front of his tombstone, Carter Shirey waited for Johnny who woke up. Johnny was walking over with a glass of water in his hand while drinking.
Just a few simple words from Carter Shrey made Johnny's heart loosen, and his curiosity and doubts, as well as his worries about his identity, made Johnny choose to listen to Carter Shrey's side of the story for the time being.
In the chapel of the cemetery, Carter Shirey was sewing up Johnny's wounds on his body while spreading knowledge about Ghost Rider to Johnny.
"The Ghost Rider is a bounty hunter for demons, responsible for sending those demons back to hell. The last Ghost Rider appeared one hundred and fifty years ago, in a small town called Santa Fangansa..."
After Johnny took care of his wounds and listened to the explanation about Ghost Rider, he didn't stay any longer. He put on his leather jacket again and walked outside.
Carter Shirey chased him to the door, looked at Johnny who was about to leave and asked: "Why did you sign the contract?"
Johnny turned around and said helplessly: "I was still a child at that time."
"So what do you get in return?"
Before the answer of 'heartbreak' could be uttered, an uninvited guest interrupted from the side.
"He got Mephisto's promise to cure his father's cancer, and Mephisto also fulfilled his promise, and then let his father die in a performance accident..."
Geralt led Hill through the cemetery and came to the door of the church. This church built by Carter Shrey has a unique protective power. Just like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, this church can
It lost its trace in front of the demon, which is why Carter Shrey was able to avoid Mephisto's tracking for so many years.
Geralt finally turned his attention to Carter Shrey and said: "Carter Shrey, the last Ghost Rider, I have something to do with you..."
