Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 998 3. Hell 50 Meters

There are always many strange things in a closed, never-open hell.

Idle is extremely boring, and will never die. There will also be some gossip among the demons who are enduring the world's most horrific prison punishment.

Some say a dragon lives in Mount Doom.

When it wakes up, it will tear the world apart, bring about a cataclysm, and kill this dusty hell together with all the ghosts in it.

That will be the ultimate of all things like the punishment of God.

Some people also say that the little boy Constantine who runs a bar by the River of Resentment and Distress is the most powerful man in this wasteland.

He subdued a powerful succubus with his masculine charm and excellent bed skills, and turned her into his own Qiqi.

And the mysterious disappearance of the succubus who once controlled this area seems to confirm this news.

Others said that on the ashes plain under the Doomsday Volcano, there was that new ruthless character.

The crazy skeleton who always rides on the skeleton locomotive and rushes to the gate of hell roaring every night is actually the son of a hell lord.

It is a prince who made a mistake and was excommunicated to this ghost place,

Unless it admits its mistakes to its father, it will never be free.

In short, gossip is the most interesting thing in this hopeless place.

It spread faster than anyone imagined.

But gossip has its drawbacks after all.

That is authenticity.

For example, the above three widely circulated news are all false.

There are no world-destroying dragons in Mount Doom.

Constantine was not able to gain a foothold by the River of Resentment and Distress because he used his bed skills to contract a powerful succubus... Well, even though that succubus did exist, it did help Constantine.

But she is not as powerful as the legend says.

The reason why Constantine can rise rapidly is because this guy has the best brain and the thickest skin in this land.

Finally, the skeleton knight on the plain of ashes is being chased by all demons and rushing towards the gate of hell.

Nor is it some prince of hell...

Its origin is much more awesome than the prince of hell.

it is...

"Johnny!"

At the edge of the plain of ashes, Merlin spoke the name of the knight who was galloping towards the gate of hell amid wild laughter.

In Merlin's vision, every detail of the galloping skeleton knight was so clear.

The whole body is made of burning bones.

Boiling flames covered like flesh and blood.

He was still wearing the black jacket he had worn the day he died.

But the clothes were in tatters.

His locomotive roared like a beast from hell.

But the locomotive itself was also bruised.

He must have been running for a long time.

Perhaps from falling into hell to now, Johnny has never rested for such a long time.

He may have remained in the form of the Ghost Rider, running wildly in this desperate place in search of freedom and relief.

"Johnny..."

Merlin was suspended in mid-air, and he looked at the knight galloping on the ground where the ashes were flying, his eyes were full of doubts.

Johnny was fooled by Mephisto, and fell into hell after falling to his death, which Merlin could understand.

After all, he signed a contract with the devil, and it is impossible for him to go to heaven.

But the question is, how did Johnny get thrown here?

Constantine said that only those dead souls who have nowhere to go and are not accepted by any place will come here.

Doesn't Mephisto need Johnny's soul?

Secondly, before Mephisto killed Johnny, he had already ended Johnny's contract, and he was theoretically no longer a Ghost Rider.

But why can he still transform?

And has been maintained in the form of Ghost Rider.

In the end, things didn't seem right for Johnny...

He looks a little, so crazy...

Behind the frowning Merlin, Constantine and his manticore hid in the shadow of a large rock.

Jarcon himself hid in the manticore's fluffy mane, and he used the power of his own knuckles to hide himself and avoid being discovered.

The plain of ashes that was peaceful just now has gone crazy.

Tens of thousands of demons rushed out of the open shadow gate, like wild dogs chasing hares.

They roared, rushing out from all directions amidst the burning flames and the rain of blood covering the ground, chasing the burning skeleton locomotive, and rushing towards the gate of hell.

It's like Johnny leading those weird-looking demons to freedom.

But it is not.

Those demons have no interest in the gates of hell, they only chase Johnny himself.

They wanted to catch him and destroy him.

They wanted to torture him, to tear him apart, to tear him apart from the remains of the burning locomotive, and scatter them across the plain of ashes.

But Johnny doesn't seem to be intimidated.

He bangs the accelerator, and amidst the thunderous engine roar, the skeleton locomotive continues to accelerate.

Those ferocious demons couldn't catch up with him at all.

Even if they catch up, they will be ignited and torn apart by the hellfire burning around the locomotive.

Nothing can stop the Ghost Rider from running towards the gates of hell.

No matter how many demons there are, he is not afraid.

"Roar!"

In the flying and dripping rain of blood, Johnny let out a roar.

The closer he was to the gate of hell, the faster the rain of blood fell from the sky. Those raindrops scattered on Johnny's body and fell on his bones, like water rushing into the flames.

White steam rose into the air, like billows of black smoke from a burning train devouring coal.

"The fires of hell are going out..."

Merlin narrowed his eyes and said:

"Something is holding him back from that door."

"That's natural."

Constantine, who was hiding, chattered endlessly:

"In the past few months, he has appeared here every day, and every day after being resurrected, he drove towards the so-called 'freedom'."

"At the very beginning, I heard those demons talk about it, and I ran over to see it. I wanted to win him over."

Zha Kang pouted:

"We are all Earthlings after all, we must watch over and help each other in this ghost place."

"But guess what?"

"That guy had no intention of communicating with anyone, he almost chopped me up with that damn, burning car."

"He's gone mad, Merlin, the soul in that skeleton has lost all reason."

"He may have been torn apart too many times, I mean, killed by those demons so many times in this ghost place, his soul was broken."

"do you know him?"

Zha Kang looked at Merlin, he said:

"I know you have a lot of friends, but I didn't expect that you can find companions in hell, amazing!"

"He's not a companion."

Merlin glanced at Zack Kang, he said:

"He's a brother..."

"Brother of the children of hell, Johnny Blazer, the Ghost Rider of this era, that bastard Mephisto snatched him from us and assassinated him."

"Mephisto?"

Zha Kang blinked his eyes and said:

"That big devil? The Lord of Hell? Don't be kidding, I admit that you are very powerful now, Merlin, but you are a little worse than the Lord of Hell..."

"Shall I tell you everything?"

Merlin pouted, he looked in Johnny's direction, his fingers were beating to outline a spell, he said casually:

"Do I even have to tell you that I hurt Odin? Do you think I can't control my mouth like you, and I can say anything?"

"Odin?"

Constantine was also a spellcaster before his death.

This daring guy dared to directly absorb the power of Sangong to strengthen his magic power.

He may be weaker in strength, but his vision is definitely not bad.

There's no way a guy who's sold his soul thirteen times can't be an ill-informed bastard.

Of course he knew who Odin was and what Odin represented.

"Do not believe!"

Zha Kang said:

"Unless you show evidence."

"believe it or not!"

While arguing with Zha Kang, Merlin shattered the magic circle outlined in his hand.

When the magic light shattered, a pillar of hellfire pierced through the land of ashes in a gesture that pierced through the sky.

Merlin's positioning was very accurate.

The location where the pillar of fire erupted was just in front of Johnny's Mercedes-Benz.

The flames of hell burning on Ghost Rider's body were almost extinguished by the rain of blood, and the remaining flames could no longer help him resist the attacks of the surrounding demons.

This might be the end of his run tonight.

But the pillar of fire suddenly rising in front of him gave Johnny hope.

Ghost Rider's white skulls collided with each other, and it let out a weird laugh.

Tighten the handlebar and hit the gas pedal again.

The locomotive, which was about to go out, crashed into the pillar of fire.

The flames of hell that Merlin summoned were like charging energy, making the extinguished flames on Ghost Rider's body burn again, and the burning was even more intense.

Two flames shot out from the exhaust pipe of the knight's motorcycle.

Like a propeller, pushing it and its owner to rush towards the gate of hell ahead at a faster speed.

500 m.

300 m.

100 m.

Seen from a high altitude, the trail of flames stretched across the ashes is like a bright line of fire across the plain.

Ghost Rider is getting closer and closer to the gate of hell.

Now, even Zha Kang couldn't help getting up.

Throwing a spirit vision spell on himself, he looked at the Ghost Rider's position.

Those demons chased Johnny's motorcycle almost every step of the way, and when Johnny got closer and closer to the gate of hell, those demons roared even more crazily.

They even did not hesitate to use their bodies to stop Johnny from escaping.

One after another, demons appeared before Johnny's eyes.

The crazily spinning wheels were like guillotines, cutting off the demons blocking the way, and the flames of hell spewed out from Johnny's mouth like magma, scorching those damned demons.

But there are too many of them.

Like a rolling ocean.

They ripped apart Johnny's bike with their claws, broke the wheels, and made the bike whine.

Johnny was getting slower and slower.

It's like falling into the quagmire of struggling.

"boom"

His locomotive was torn apart by those demons, and he himself jumped off the locomotive and fell to the ground.

Regardless of the demon attacking behind him, he opened his legs and rushed towards the gate of hell with only the last 50 meters left in front of him.

free...

Freedom seemed to be at hand.

Almost within reach.

"Quick!"

Jarcon stood on the manticore's head, pumping his fists to cheer for Johnny.

Of course, this guy is just watching the fun.

He and Johnny weren't friends.

Merlin shook his head.

He turned around and said to Zack Kang:

"Don't look at it, he can't make it through."

"boom"

Johnny's running body was knocked down by a terrifying halberd from behind. The abyss lord as huge as a mountain rushed over arrogantly, and stomped Johnny to the ground amidst a roar.

The demons howled and rushed forward.

They tore at his body, ripped and severed his bones, plundered and destroyed his soul, until all that was of him was crushed and obliterated.

Those white bone residues and the wreckage of the locomotive were thrown on the land of the Ash Plain, blown away by the scorching wind.

They punished him for their sins.

those demons...

Have fun with it.

After the demon dispersed, Johnny's white finger bones were still stuck on the ground, and the gate of hell still stood before his eyes.

Mercedes failed again tonight.

The last 50 meters...

Like the sky, it is insurmountable.

"Fu..."

Merlin took a "cigar" from Zack Kang, he summoned the flame, and lit the cigarette for himself and Zack Kang.

He looked at the direction where Johnny was smashed to pieces, and opened his mouth to blow out a wisp of smoke.

He narrowed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he turned to Zha Kang and said:

"Go and collect his wreckage, including the torn metal, and move quickly."

"Next time, bring him back to life in your tavern, and I'll have a word with him."

"Why do you want me to go?"

Zha Kang crossed his arms and snorted:

"Don't you have long hands?"

"If you are told to go, then go, where is there so much nonsense?"

Merlin snorted.

He raised his head and glanced at the gloomy, lightless sky of this place of despair, those pale ominous halos looming in the black clouds.

他 说:

"perhaps you're right."

"Ok?"

Zha Kang looked at Merlin in surprise, and said:

"What is right?"

"Those gossip, I mean, this hell may indeed not be built by those hell lords."

Merlin rubbed his chin, he said softly:

"Maybe it really has something to do with the people of heaven."

"Ghost Rider, Vengeful Spirit, the Archangel Randekiel...and Gabriel."

He turned his head, looked in the direction of Johnny's body, and said:

"Johnny is the key to something, maybe the hope we need, there's no question about that."

"Go ahead and bring him back."

"Hey, I'm not your entourage or your subordinates!"

Zha Kang said dissatisfiedly:

"Don't talk to me in that tone! I don't like it!"

"All right, all right, Constantine."

Merlin stretched out his hand, showing a fake smile on his face, he stretched out his hand, and straightened Zha Kang's clothes.

他 说:

"You're my friend, okay?"

"Now, friend, do me a favor and go to work."
