"Wait...I still have a question."
Johnny took a deep breath, and just when he was about to ask why it was him, Carter Shirey seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, and said directly: "When you signed the contract with Mephisto, From that moment on, I was destined to be unable to escape this nightmare!”
Mephisto…
This evil name was like a terrifying nightmare, haunting Johnny for more than ten years!
If he hadn't been bewitched and signed the sinful contract with Mephisto to save his father from cancer, his father would not have died while performing a stunt. 999 updates the fastest. Mobile version: :/m.999xs./
And he would not feel deeply remorseful for this incident in the following nights, and would even deliberately challenge impossible speeding stunts, just to find a way to die that would give him peace of mind.
"You...how do you know?" Johnny sat on the ground dejectedly, his hands deeply inserted into the roots of his hair, and his whole head buried in the bear, like an ostrich hiding from the storm.
"Because I, like you, signed a contract with Mephisto." Carter Shirey recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out that you too... we are all people who have been deceived by Mephisto!" A flash of astonishment flashed in Johnny's eyes. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him had a similar experience to him, and he suddenly felt that Carter He has become much more approachable.
Carter Shirey sighed again, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together: "There is no need to be super moved, because we will soon... be in big trouble. If we can't solve it, the whole The world will be devoured by demons.”
Johnny's eyes twitched and he said, "Sorry, are you talking about the plot of a Hollywood movie?"
"The man who attacked you last night, I smelled an extremely strong smell of hell from him." Carter Shirey's eyes showed a trace of heart palpitations, and he said solemnly: "Just looking directly into his eyes made me feel... I felt the trembling deep in my soul, this feeling of being wiped out at any time, I have only felt it with Mephisto."
"So... why did he attack me?" Johnny swallowed. Although he didn't know how strong Mephisto was, the scene where he was violently tortured by that man yesterday and had no power to fight back still remains to this day. I still remember it vividly!
"If my guess is correct...he should be here for the St. Vincent's contract!" Carter Shirey's eyes subconsciously glanced at a dilapidated tombstone, but he quickly took it back and said It didn't catch Johnny's attention.
"St. Fangansa Contract?" Johnny frowned slightly, and his intuition told him that this thing was very important: "It sounds very powerful, but I have never seen it before. Why did that man come to me?"
"Because this is... the fate of the Ghost Rider!" Carter Shirey said solemnly: "It is the duty of every evil spirit to protect Saint Vincent's contract from falling into the hands of Mephisto and other demons. The fate of the Spirit Knight.”
Gudong...
Perhaps infected by Carter's solemn and solemn expression, Johnny unconsciously puffed up his chest and asked nervously: "What exactly is the St. Vincent's Contract?"
"key!"
Carter Shrey looked very solemn and said: "This is a piece of art that Mephisto spent hundreds of years turning a holy place that believed in God into purgatory and sealed the souls of three thousand fallen saints. A magic weapon!"
"Once the St. Fangansa contract is obtained by Mephisto or other powerful demons, the entrance from hell to the human world will be opened, and countless demons will pour into the human world, turning the whole world into another hell!"
Johnny: "..."
Carter waited for a long time but didn't respond. He frowned and said, "Are you okay?"
"...Can I give up?" Johnny asked on the verge of tears. The shock of this news was no less than a thunderbolt hitting his forehead. He was obviously just a stunt driver, so how could he suddenly Are you about to become a hero who saves the world?
"Of course, as long as you are willing to watch with your own eyes all the people you love fall into hell and be tortured forever." Carter Shirey sneered and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I am about to die, and I have been alive for a long time. That's enough, there's no one worth worrying about."
"..."
Johnny's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
Carter Shirey glanced at him disappointedly, stood up on the handrail, and walked towards the church with a shovel: "You still have a chance to regret it now. The car is just outside the cemetery. When you think about it, come to the church. I will teach you how to control the evil spirits within you.”
Johnny sat alone in the cemetery with a complicated look in his eyes.
Looking at the desolate and dilapidated scenery around him, countless messy thoughts emerged in his mind, like tangled threads, which made Johnny suddenly feel confused and didn't know what to choose!
...
...
...
As time goes by, the bright moon rises from the sky.
Johnny sat quietly for a whole day without realizing it. The messy thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated, and were replaced by a magnetic man's voice, ringing in his heart!
"Johnny, don't be held back by fear!"
"If you don't take charge of your destiny, you will be led by it."
Dominate your destiny, rather than being dominated by it!
This is what his father told him personally before he died!
And these words were like a beacon in the dark night, instantly illuminating the shadow in Johnny's heart and guiding him to a bright road!
"Yes, I can't live in the shadow of the past, let alone be bound by fear!" The light in Johnny's eyes became brighter and brighter, the decadent aura was swept away, and the whole person exuded a vigorous atmosphere like a new life. : "I want to control my own destiny. Neither Mephisto nor the demons of hell can take away what I love!"
Johnny took big strides, pushed the door open and walked into the church. He cast his eyes on the old man sitting under the window and said word by word: "I decided, I want to become a ghost knight, protect the Saint Vincent's contract, and save my life." Love the people and the world!”
"congratulations."
Carter Shirey's calm face broke out into a smile, his eyes showed the slightest relief, and he said: "In despair, you finally have a chance to resist that shitty fate!"
"Thank you." Johnny shrugged and said, "Aren't you going to teach me how to control the transformation? Which step should I start with? It's better to be simpler and faster."
"It's easy, just stand still and don't move."
A strange smile appeared on Carter Shirey's face, he took the shovel and dragged it on the ground slowly towards Johnny.
"Wait...what do you want to do?" Johnny showed a hint of panic on his face, subconsciously retreated and leaned against the door.
"Don't be afraid. I'll help you transform. Don't you want the fastest and easiest way?" Carter Shirey said with a smile, holding the heavy shovel tightly in both hands.
Then......
Before Johnny could react, Carter swung the heavy shovel and hit him on the head!
Boom! ! !
The shovel almost smashed Johnny's head, and then the hellfire spewed out uncontrollably!
The next moment, Ghost Rider appears.
"Is this what you said?!" Johnny, who became the Ghost Rider, touched the flaming skull head and shouted with lingering fear: "Damn it, do you know that I was almost killed by a shovel? What if? What if I don’t transform?”
When~
"You asked for the fastest and simplest method. Isn't my method fast enough?" Carter held a shovel in one hand and said calmly: "And it is impossible for anything to happen to you. The fire of hell can repair all injuries."
Facts have proven that taking shortcuts is generally harmful.
Johnny, who was at a loss, was furious and raised a middle finger: "Fuck You!"
