Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 999

"boom"

Zha Kang with a gloomy face kicked open the door of his bar.

He dragged a large bag sewn from the skin of lemurs into the bar.

On the wasteland outside the door, there is still a pile of remnants of steel parts brought back by the Manticore.

It was the wreck of Johnny's motorcycle.

Like its own knight, it was torn to pieces by those brutal demons.

It's really embarrassing for Zhakang.

Actually got them all back.

This guy seems to have a nose that's smarter than a dog.

"boom"

The bag containing the bone fragments was thrown at Merlin's feet.

The latter was leaning against the bar, with an open bottle of wine in his hand, and a box of "cigars" carefully collected by Zha Kang in front of him.

Constantine's contract demon, a succubus with a good temperament, waited on Merlin to drink with a wink.

She tried her best to keep the evil spirit of this wasteland in a good mood.

Merlin, who was already a little tipsy, turned his head and glanced at the bone fragments in the bag, and there was not a single intact bone in it.

It was like being thrown into a meat grinder and grinded for hours.

He whispered:

"It's miserable."

"It will take 20 hours for your friend to come back to life, just wait, some are waiting."

Constantine twisted his wrist, went back to the bar, and slapped the succubus' upturned butt.

The latter let out a series of seductive laughter, the branches of laughter trembling, and then put one hand on his master's shoulder.

Her big eyes were full of water, her black tail was wagging, and her lips were pursed.

It's like a little pet asking for a kiss.

Zha Kang, on the other hand, stretched out his hands lightly and familiarly to caress the succubus' face, and the two slowly approached.

In front of Merlin's eyes, the couple kissed deeply like no one else was there.

Merlin didn't say anything.

He propped his chin on his arm, while sipping his wine, he watched Zha Kang show off his kissing skills.

Two minutes later, Merlin coughed lightly.

It interrupted the confusion of Zha Kang and Qi Mo in front of him.

It's not that Merlin is a guy who burns pianos and cooks cranes, he is also a man with sentimentality.

He just felt that if he didn't interrupt this worsening scene, the two shameless guys in front of him were about to perform a goblin fight in front of him.

Maybe Zack didn't care, but Merlin wasn't interested in watching that stuff right now.

The succubus, who was already on fire, took a step back regretfully.

She looked at Zha Kang, at her master, she blew a kiss at Zha Kang temptingly, and then looked at Merlin's expressionless face.

She licked her lips and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"You broke into my house, drank my wine, and interrupted my flirting with my little one..."

Zha Kang stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his collar. He rudely picked up the bottle of wine from Merlin, and took a sip.

He slapped his left hand hard on the bar, staring at Merlin.

He said dissatisfiedly:

"The most important thing is that you use me like a servant! You are here to find trouble, right? Merlin!"

"After we go out, Zhakang..."

Merlin raised his head, stared at Constantine with a cold gaze, and said:

"When we return to the present world, you and your little succubus can do whatever you want for as long as you want, no one will care about you."

"But now, you'd better calm down, this is not the time for sperm to get on your head."

Merlin's gaze was like a gust of cold wind blowing on Zhakang's soul, calming him down a little.

But Zha Kang is a guy who refuses to admit defeat, he complained:

"Not to mention how we left, just say, if, if we can really leave, what can I do as a ghost when I return to this world? You may have a way to reshape a flesh and blood body, but I can't..."

"I will help you."

Merlin says:

"It's not difficult."

He looked at Zha Kang, and he saw a trace of anxiety in this guy's eyes.

Obviously, although Zack Kang was forced to act with Merlin, this soul who had been in the wasteland for too long obviously didn't have much confidence in escaping.

This will not work.

Merlin needs Zack Kang to advise him. This guy's evil wisdom may not be able to help him, but Merlin still needs him to run errands.

No matter how powerful Merlin is, he can't do everything by himself.

It's impossible for Zha Kang to be so pessimistic all the time.

Merlin's fingers danced on the table made of black stone, his eyes blinked, and he decided to reveal a little news to the pessimistic and desperate soul in front of him.

Give him some hope.

In other words, draw a pie first to attract Zhakang's attention.

"After I fell into the wasteland, I encountered some things."

Merlin stretched out his hand and shook his fingers, imposing a barrier of isolation and detection around the two of them. He used his fingers to flick the "cigars" in the wooden box in front of him.

他 说:

"I saw Buster."

"Buster?"

Constantine blinked.

Although his strength is not so good, his vision is definitely not bad. There are all kinds of strange knowledge in his mind.

他 说:

"Nine Pillars of Egypt?"

"Ah."

Merlin nodded, and he continued:

"Baster brought me a message. His Excellency Osiris, the Lord of the Hades, needs me to do him a favor. I agreed, and the ruler of the Egyptian Hades also promised to lend me something."

Merlin glanced at Zack Kang, he said:

"Anything that would bring a ghost back to flesh and blood..."

"As long as we can escape, Konstantin, I promise you, you can have your life again, and you can make up for all your regrets."

"Do it all over again, all misses and mistakes."

Merlin said softly:

"How nice...right?"

Zha Kang's eyes narrowed immediately.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of what Merlin said, and he also understood why Merlin revealed this to him at this time.

This guy is seducing him.

So that Zha Kang could die with him wholeheartedly.

But the problem was that the bait Merlin threw was very fragrant.

Let Zha Kang, a hungry fish, have to bite.

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the pocket thrown at Merlin's feet, and said:

"You just said, this crazy skeleton, you called him Johnny, and you said he was the key to our departure? Why do you think so?"

"I guessed."

Merlin said frankly:

"Johnny was disqualified as a Ghost Rider when he died."

"Theoretically, even if he falls into hell, he should come with a human soul, but as you can see, he has always been in the state of a ghost rider."

"This is not normal!"

Merlin flicked his fingers:

"Or, Mephisto made a mistake. I don't really believe in this possibility. I have dealt with that big devil before. It is impossible for it to make a mistake in this kind of thing."

"Or, there is something wrong with Johnny himself."

Zha Kang gave Merlin a glass of wine with a wink.

The latter took the skull glass in his hand, took a sip of the wine, and looked down at Johnny's bones.

他 说:

"Do you know the origin of Ghost Rider?"

"No, I do not know."

Zha Kang shook his head, lying on the bar as if listening to a story, he said to Merlin:

"At the beginning, I just regarded the legend circulating in Texas as a rumor. After all, it has been more than 200 years since the death of the previous generation of Ghost Riders."

"You died too early."

Merlin says:

"After you died, Johnny became a Ghost Rider... Anyway, after Johnny died, I went to find some relevant information."

"The vengeful spirits in Ghost Rider come from God. They were created by God after the flood to supervise the evil in the world."

"Although many vengeful spirits later went mad and fell into hell, they are still managed by heaven in theory."

Merlin pointed to the sky, and he said:

"Archangel Randekiel is the monitor and manager of all vengeful spirits, and it has a certain ability to command those crazy spirits."

"As for Johnny, the Vengeful Spirit that originally signed the contract with Johnny is called Zatanos. I have communicated with that guy. It is not a pure Vengeful Spirit. Its birth story is very tangled and complicated."

"But part of its existence does come from heaven, it's powerful, it's a strategic weapon."

"Theoretically speaking, after Johnny completes the contract, it is impossible to have any connection with Zatanos, but they are reintegrated together..."

Merlin blinked, picked up his wine glass, and chuckled softly:

"If you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with the Archangel Randekiel, I absolutely don't believe it."

"You mean..."

Zha Kang rubbed his forehead, Merlin's words were a bit awkward, but it was not difficult to understand, he said:

"What kind of archangel wants to use some means to bring the vengeful spirit that should belong to the great devil back into the arsenal of heaven?"

"And Johnny's appearance on the wasteland has something to do with this?"

"It's very likely so."

Merlin says:

"You saw Johnny rushing to the gates of hell before."

"Those guys in heaven like to engage in this kind of formalism. To put it crudely, they like to take off their pants and fart, and they always do something superfluous."

He said sarcastically:

"Maybe this is a 'trial' or 'redemption' arranged by them. Only when Johnny meets certain conditions can he escape from this sea of ​​suffering."

"And then, of course, my poor brother will be 'redeemed', ascending to heaven with the spirit of vengeance reunited with him."

"Everyone in heaven who has been fighting hell for a long time will get a powerful weapon."

"The story of Ghost Rider's redemption may be compiled into an epic praising heaven and spread in all worlds..."

Zack Kang nodded.

After a few seconds, he asked again:

"But he's stuck here, and has been for months."

"This shows that there is a new change in the situation."

Merlin closed his eyes, recalling the communication he had with his disciple before.

Billy told him that when Father Paul was taken into heaven by the Archangel Gabriel, the Archangel had clearly told Billy not to give Merlin's Horcrux to anyone.

This is not just an exhortation.

It should be a message or something.

In both his and Johnny's stories, the forces of heaven are trying to intervene.

And now, they meet again in the wasteland.

Merlin didn't quite believe it was a coincidence.

Maybe, those winged birds want Merlin and Johnny to do something for them in this hell.

It is impossible for them not to know that Merlin wounded Odin in the final battle and was promoted to Heavenly Father.

It is very dangerous to coerce Merlin to do things for them like this, and there will be endless troubles, but they still do it.

This shows that what they need Merlin to do is very important.

"Johnny is the key, maybe we can get some news from him."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Zha Kang:

"No matter what those people in heaven plan to use Johnny to do, we must participate in this matter and get the reward we deserve!"

"Then wait."

Zha Kang also breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked back at his bar.

Because Merlin had a trouble here before.

The bar was deserted, with no customers.

Zha Kang was like a sculpture, he stretched out his hand, stroked the wine cabinet made by himself behind him, and stroked the demon skull dotted on the wine cabinet.

He said in a slightly sad tone:

"I built this place, I built it with my own hands, I've been here for almost ten years, I've always called it home, you know, Merlin."

He looked at Merlin, who looked back at him.

"I hate every minute of being here!"

Constantine gritted his teeth and said:

"But I had to force myself to enjoy those moments..."

"I'm really fed up, I want to eat a hamburger, even the worst tasting one, and I want to drink real wine, not this disgusting thing made with devil's blood!"

"I know."

Merlin shrugged, Zack Kang was showing his loyalty, and he had to respond.

So he said:

"I knew it from the first moment I saw you."

"Okay, stop complaining and get ready to work."

"Based on my experience, the next job may not be that simple."

----------

20 hours passed in a flash.

The speed of time in this wasteland is different from that in the human world, and time here presents an indescribable state.

But Zakkang has a way. He made a weird alchemy device to show the flow of time in the world in the wasteland.

He uses this method to keep time, to ensure that he does not get lost in the chaos of time.

Not knowing the alternation of day and night is definitely torture.

Once the concept of time is lost, no matter how wise a soul is, it will quickly become muddled.

And when Johnny was torn apart by the devil for 24 hours, the bone fragments piled up on the ground by Merlin and Zack Kang also began to beat strangely.

The resurrection begins.

Accompanied by the flames of hell rising from nowhere, those bones quickly fused in the flames, as if they were being melted.

Soon, the intact Ghost Rider used his bone claws to push aside the flames, and appeared in front of Merlin and Zack Kang.

Constantine moved and hid behind Merlin.

Perhaps it is not difficult for Merlin to deal with the Ghost Rider in front of him.

But for him, just being stared at by the ghost knight, the ignited crime is enough to burn his soul.

The just-resurrected Ghost Rider still looked a little dazed.

The flames in its eye sockets were burning, and it tilted its head, looking at the two ghosts in front of it.

It seems a bit puzzled.

Why would he be resurrected in this place after being torn apart on the plain of ashes?

"Snapped"

Merlin slapped the dazed skeleton knight on the cheek.

The heavy magic power slapped on the burning flames, shattering the flames of the Ghost Rider.

"look at me!"

Merlin stared at the dark eye sockets, and said:

"Do you still know me?"

Ghost Rider stared into Merlin's eyes, and the eyes of judgment were ready to go.

But soon, it seemed to recognize Merlin.

He also recalled the embarrassing thing that happened when he used the Eye of Judgment on Merlin last time.

It turned its head away immediately, not looking at Merlin.

This action made Merlin laugh out loud. He patted his leg and said to the skeleton knight in front of him:

"Very well, it seems that you recognized me."

"Get Johnny out!"

"I want to talk to him!"
