The salary king in the comics

Chapter 267 The Only Ghost Rider

Standing on the high point of the city, Geralt and Hill watched the last peaceful time in the city.

Hill had already informed the World Security Council of the information he had obtained from Geralt. This kind of civil war made the Council feel sad, but there was nothing they could do.

And right now, Johnny Blazer is packing up and getting ready to meet his ex-girlfriend.

Ever since he found out that he had signed an agreement with Mephisto, Johnny left without saying a word on a rainy day in order not to drag his girlfriend down.

In the life after that, Johnny became a stunt driver, riding the dust on the road of constant death.

But today, he actually met the person hidden in his heart, and knew that she was not married, just like him.

The emergence of love made Johnny ignore the contract that had not appeared in his body for many years, and the normal life was constantly attracting him, how pleasant it is to fall in love with his lover.

Constantly changing clothes in the room, Johnny wanted to find a perfect state to meet his lover.

In the end, I changed into a leather jacket that best represented me, stood in front of the mirror, and said words of encouragement to myself.

"You can't live in fear, you're the best driver, you deserve better, second chances are here, she's the sign..."

After washing his face, he wiped it carelessly, and regained his composure, but Johnny saw that his hands gradually became different.

Like a red-hot soldering iron, Johnny's hand quickly evaporated the water in his hand, even reaching into the pool, the water boiled.

Withdrawing his hand from the boiling water, Johnny didn't feel any discomfort.

Just as he was thinking, there was the roar of an engine outside the door.

The engine sound of the motorcycle attracted Johnny, and this special and unique sound aroused memories in Johnny's heart.

Going out to search, Johnny saw a motorcycle he didn't want to see at the intersection. It was the car he planned to elope with his girlfriend when he was young.

If the contract hadn't been signed at the beginning, this car should have brought him and Luo Shan to start a new life together.

Since his father died in a performance accident, he also understood the contract on himself. The car took him away from the original place, and the motorcycle was also sealed for him.

But now, it stopped in front of him, and the engine was still running, as if it was 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 came out of the darkness with a cane.

"It's you! Stay away from me!"

"It's sad to say that, Johnny. This car is gorgeous..."

Johnny was a little angry and said, "What are you doing here!"

Mephisto looked at the car and then at Johnny, counting Johnny's experience as if looking at his favorite work.

"Johnny, I'm always there, Phoenix, Denver, Houston...every one of your shows."

Hearing these locations, Johnny understood something. These locations were the moments when his life was hanging by a thread, but each time he stood up alive.

"It's you, keep me from dying!"

Johnny and Mephisto circled each other around the motorcycle, and the two communicated through the motorcycle. Mephisto seemed to enjoy this kind of play very much, and kept approaching Johnny, but kept a certain distance.

"Johnny, it's all up to you. You're the best driver, and I'm your biggest fan. Those posters, the game, the loud shouts from the audience, make me so proud, it's like watching a pen Investment, constantly soaring and rising in value, until the day you cash in..."

Mephisto walked up to Johnny and whispered in his ear, the chilling words made Johnny tremble.

However, Johnny calmed down. He ignored Mephisto's words, stepped on the motorcycle, and was about to leave.Johnny twisted the accelerator with his right hand, but the motorcycle did not respond at all.

Mephisto stood on the right side of Johnny, with a cane in his hand on the motorcycle, and kept tapping lightly, saying: "That day is today, Johnny, you have to find the Black Demon, and then destroy him!"

"Find it yourself!"

Johnny's disobedience caused Mephisto's crutch to be transferred from the motorcycle to Johnny's back and then to his neck.

Mephisto pulled Johnny's neck with a walking stick, 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... ..."

Familiar with the classics, Johnny knows that there is no good end to dealing with the devil. As long as you don't agree, you won't fall into the trap.

So Johnny turned down the deal and said, "Really? I'm not doing it!"

Mephisto released the cane from Johnny's neck, then slammed the cane on the ground and said, "You have no choice!"

After speaking, Johnny's motorcycle started by itself, and the tires rubbed against the ground violently, wiping away a layer of asphalt and gravel.

After accelerating, the motorcycle rushed out with Johnny, leaving Mephisto alone, waiting for Johnny to complete the task.

On the tall building, Geralt felt the waves of the Hellfire being activated, and looked in the direction where Johnny was.

"coming!"

Geralt's reaction revived Hill instantly. Standing on the top of the building and blowing the wind made her feel drowsy.

Picking up the binoculars, Hill was about to look in the direction Geralt was looking at.

However, as soon as he raised the binoculars, Geralt grabbed it and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to die?"

Hill was a little confused, so she immediately realized that there must be something wrong with it. The action of her picking up the telescope clearly touched some danger.

"Ghost Rider is the judge. As long as you see him, he will immediately detect you, and then he will come to your door to find you, and the judgment will burn your soul."

Judge?The name intrigued Hill, and among the various supernatural phenomena that had existed, there was no one person or thing that Geralt could judge in this way.

However, Geralt's next words shattered Hill's illusion, 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 always experience the pain caused by the crimes committed against other victims in the past. Any person or creature is a sinner in the eyes of Ghost Rider, even the one in his mind. Evil fantasies are evil, and he burns them all. That guy inside is a madman."

The madman inside?Hill grasped the key, maybe the source of this power is a unique existence?

Hill asked simply: "Can you tell me about the source of this power? Is there a way to prevent it?"

"Prevention? What are you kidding, as long as there is a soul, it will be judged by the ghost knight, and if there is no soul, the ghost knight's hellfire will burn them to ashes. Unless the enemy has no soul and is immune to hell The power of fire.

The ghost rider is in two completely different states during the day and night. During the day, he is an ordinary person, bleeding and getting injured.But at night, he is a terrible knight who is invulnerable to fire and water.Even if you kill him during the day and burn his body to ashes, he will rise again in the night and talk to you about the price of sin.

The power of Ghost Rider comes from an elemental demon lord - Zatanos.This guy established a tribe on the earth. By giving power, he used war to conquer and enslave other tribes, and then contributed to the soul of Zatanos for him to devour.

This behavior attracted the attention of Mephisto, the lord of hell, because Mephisto is also a demon who gains power by stealing souls. This way of stealing money made Mephisto treat Zatanos as a demon. For threats.

By chance, Mephisto saw an opportunity to defeat Zatanos.He provoked a rebellion among the Horde's heirs, and Mephisto took the opportunity to instill suspicion and mistrust among Zatanos' minions.

This greatly weakened Zatanos' power, and Mephisto took the opportunity to explode his body, then enslaved his soul, and cleaned his memory in hell.

Lost memory, but the hatred of betrayal has not been eliminated, Zatanos remembers every betrayer, and this hatred is getting bigger and bigger, and finally spread to every soul equally..."

Geralt's plain words narrated a plain hate story. Just when Hill wanted to ask further, a series of explosions forced her to stop.

Standing on the top of the building and looking down, from the position Geralt originally looked at, it extended to the outside of the city.There was a very visible streak of flames in the middle of the road, glass shattered on the side of the road, and even cars caught fire and exploded.

All of this was done in an instant, and the moment the flame appeared, it was transferred to the outside of the city, and there was no time to react.

Hill couldn't believe it. Any enemy in the past could see the battle clearly, but this one's speed was like teleportation.

With a steady mind, Hill asked: "This is 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 trail, and follow him all the way to find him. Or use satellites to track him..."

Hill was a little stunned, the first method was obviously unreliable, why is the second method so convenient, quick and easy to operate.

"Didn't you say he could feel every glance?"

"That's right, he can feel the line of sight, but he won't be free to play satellites, and satellites have no soul, so he can still look down the network cable?"

Geralt's card bug operation, which was like commenting on mental retardation, made Hill couldn't help worrying about the intelligence level of this 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 this Ghost Rider tomorrow during the day..."

Geralt had a good night's sleep, and it wasn't until the sun cast its warm rays that Geralt got up from the bed and went about his business slowly.

After feeding the radishes, Geralt found Hill. Looking at the face that obviously hadn't slept all night, Geralt quietly slowed down his steps.

Seeing Geralt, Hill squeezed his brows hard, trying to soothe his bad night.

Show the map of the city on the tablet and hand it to Geralt, on which several locations have already been circled.

Looking at Geralt's incomprehensible eyes, Hill explained: "Last night, Johnny Blazer destroyed the entire main road, blew up half of the factory, and burned a few people who were doing bad things. people.

In the factory, Johnny was fighting someone, and the aftermath alone caused a magnitude [-] earthquake. We had to use geographical factors to fool us. Is the black heart demon so powerful? "

Geralt picked up the cup on the table, put it under his nose and smelled the coffee in it, 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 wake up from his sleep, and became the hunter that Hill was familiar with.

Poured himself another glass, Geralt said indifferently, "Have you misunderstood something again, is the Black Heart Demon so weak? He was just a random recruit he recruited last night."

Thinking of the previous trip to hell, Geralt always used tricks and words to contend with the Black Heart Demon, and Hill did not see the level of the Black Heart Demon's real attack, which also made her misunderstand the demon's strength.

Randomly crossing the report and abandoning the report he wrote last night, Hill took the eaux-de-vie from Geralt's hand and took a sip.

The strong stimulation made Hill couldn't help coughing, and ate the moss ball fruit that Geralt handed over. Hill asked, "There are so many demons on the earth? How did he find his subordinates?"

"Devils don't care about these issues. As long as they are strong, they will be attached by weak people with any move. Remember the previous news? The massacre at the motorcycle bar, as long as there is a soul, it can attract 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 of hell are under his control, only some really small passages with no value will be destroyed Others scramble. "

While explaining, Geralt checked the situation of the yard on the tablet. This old dispatching station seemed to have been bombed. More than half of the buildings were destroyed, and the ash and flame traces from the burning covered almost all over the place.

And now, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have taken over there, sealing off the dispatch station.

Putting down the tablet, Geralt asked, "Where is Johnny now?"

In the cemetery, Cartersley was looking at the people in the distance. These people had appeared around the cemetery since Johnny appeared in the early morning.But they just observe and don't do anything else.

Standing in front of his tombstone, Cartersley waited for Johnny who woke up, and Johnny was walking over with a glass of water while drinking.

Just a few simple words from Cartersley made Johnny's heart loose. Curiosity and doubts, and worries about his own identity made Johnny choose to listen to Cartersley's statement temporarily.

In the chapel in the cemetery, Cartersley sewed up Johnny's body wounds, and at the same time popularized Johnny's knowledge about Ghost Rider.

"Ghost Rider is the bounty hunter of demons, responsible for sending those demons back to hell. The last Ghost Rider appeared 150 years ago, in a small town called San Van Gonzale..."

After treating the wound on his body and listening to the relevant explanation about Ghost Rider, Johnny didn't stay any longer. He put on his leather jacket again and walked outside.

Cartersley chased 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."

"Then what did you get in return?"

Before the answer 'heartbreak' came out of his mouth, an unexpected guest interrupted from the side.

"He got Mephisto's promise to cure his father's cancer, and Mephisto 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 Sley has a unique protective power, just like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. It disappeared in front of the demons, which is why Cartersley has been able to evade Mephisto's tracking for so many years.

Geralt finally shifted his gaze to Kattersley and said, "Katersley, the last Ghost Rider, I have something to do with you..."
