"Thank you, Bobby... We understand and will handle it carefully." Sam hung up the phone carefully, and then rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. He had not slept all night. He spent the whole night looking through various information, hoping to find the reason why Johnny turned into a demon.
Demon hunters all know that demons and humans are completely different species. Demons can bestow certain powers on humans, but humans are humans and demons are demons! It is impossible to confuse the two, and there is no such thing as a human soul degenerating into a demon! This is all a lie.
But what happened to Johnny was beyond the realm of demons giving power to humans!
He completely turned into a devil!
This was something Sam didn't think he would admit. He didn't understand how this could happen. So he asked Bobby for help. In the field of demon hunters, Bobby is definitely a master. Perhaps in battle, old Bobby is no longer as brave as he once was, but in terms of experience, he is an encyclopedia.
At night Sam tells Bobby what happened to Johnny and seeks answers.
Bobby didn't dare to neglect it. Although he had never heard of such a thing, Bobby had a lot of books! These books are not the kind of books found in libraries outside, but various manuscripts, some of which can even be traced back to around the first century. I don’t know where Bobby got those books.
In short, Bobby spent the whole night searching among the old papers, and finally found some clues.
When Sam put down the phone, Dean came out of the bedroom with Johnny. After another night of sleep, Johnny was finally able to recover from the soreness and weakness all over his body. Although his face was still pale, he was able to walk at least.
"How was it? What did Bobby say?" Dean asked.
Sam glanced at Johnny distressedly, then shook his head: "Let's talk about it together when Kai comes, we just have to have a good discussion."
After saying that, he picked up the book and started reading. If you weren't there, you would meet Dean and Johnny.
Dean glanced at Johnny awkwardly. He could tell that Sam didn't like Johnny. Dean understands this. After all, Johnny has become a demon. To be honest, he couldn't accept it. But compared to Sam's rejection, Dean is much better because he likes Johnny Show!
While not a huge fan, he does enjoy The Johnny Show. Dean is very much a typical southern redneck and has similar hobbies. He originally planned to get close to Johnny, and it would be best to get some photos and autographs, which could be used to pick up girls in the future, but... the current atmosphere was a bit inappropriate. So I could only hold back my voice and pretend to be deep.
Johnny also felt Sam's rejection of him.
But he couldn't say anything, after all...he himself also hated what happened to him.
He was praying now, praying that Sam and the others could help him, solve this problem, and get himself back to normal.
Just when the three of them were having their own thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
Sam immediately stepped forward and opened the door. It was Kai.
He brought Ah Fu over, and they both carried a lot of things.
Dean's eyes lit up and he asked what the food tasted like.
Sure enough, the two brought a lot of food.
Then Kai introduced Ah Fu to the two of them.
Dean and Sam have a 'rich people are good' look on their faces, and they even have a butler.
After that, Ah Fu went to the kitchen to finish the semi-finished products that had been packed away in advance.
The others were in the living room, talking about Johnny's problems.
"Bobby has figured out why what happened to Johnny."
It turns out that Bobby found a record in a handwritten ancient book about the Ghost Rider, which is what Sam wanted to say.
"Do you know why Mephisto wants your soul?"
"Mephisto?" Johnny was a little stunned. Who is this?
"It's the devil who signed a contract with you!" Sam explained helplessly. In fact, this was the first time he knew this name. It was ridiculous to say that this devil had been entangled with the Winchester family for more than twenty years, but they only knew the name of this devil now...
It's a bit embarrassing.
But Sam feels that this is an important step in their revenge!
At least you know Mephisto's name, right?
"I know something about that demon..." Kai said, raising his hand.
Sam and Dean turned their heads and stared at him. They knew that this demon was very ancient, and his name was Mephisto, and the rest... wasn't written in the book.
"He is called Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, one of the rulers of the demon world, a very powerful demon. His clone wanders around the world all year round, absorbing fallen souls, making deals with people, playing with people's hearts, and taking away Take pleasure in being traded for what is most precious to you.”
After Mephisto appeared, Kai went to find Ancient One and wanted to know why this demon was wandering around the earth so unscrupulously. You know, Karma Taj's attitude towards demons has always been that they should let the minor characters go. After all, there are too many humans, and they also like to seek death. There are always some idiots who will worship demons... I don't know what they think. So for millions of years, there have been too many demons coming to the earth. If you are not careful, these demons will run out of the corners, and Kamathaj will not be able to control them at all.
But if those big demons with names want to come, it will be different. Like the blessed Virgin Lilith, wouldn't she be beaten up by Kama Taj?
Because a demon lord appeared on the earth and caused too much damage, even Kama Taj could not accept it.
But Mephisto...
Ancient One gave an explanation. Mephisto is special. He has abilities that other demon lords do not have.
Incarnate into thousands.
This old thing can create endless clones. These clones are not strong, so they come easily and are impossible to guard against. Although these incarnations are all weak, the damage they can cause is not small at all. The key is that these gadgets directly communicate with the main body and can transform from weak chickens into giant dinosaurs at any time.
How to play this?
It’s simply impossible to guard against.
If you kill an avatar, there will be no loss to Mephisto at all. If you neglect and one of the avatars transforms directly, it will be a lot of fun.
So, the Supreme Mage simply ran to the demon world, caught Mephisto and gave him a beating!
As for why Mephisto is not killed directly, the reason is very helpless. It is not that Mephisto cannot be killed, but in Mephisto's domain, he is immortal. Even if he is killed, it will not take many worlds for him to die. Will be reborn again. This is very annoying.
Therefore, the Supreme Mage can only sign a city alliance with Mephisto. Mephisto can go to the earth, but must be strictly restricted.
Mephisto has been making small fuss over the years, and that's also why.
For Karma Taj, the sacrifice of some human individuals is nothing. They value humanity as a whole. Of course, if Kama Taj's mage encounters the incarnation of Mephisto, of course he will kill him. There is nothing reasonable about this.
All in all, Mephisto is very difficult to deal with.
After hearing Kai's information about Mephisto, Sam and Dean suddenly felt overwhelmed.
How can they take revenge?
Johnny is even more desperate. Mephisto is so awesome, so isn't he definitely doomed?
"Why does he want my soul?" Johnny felt that he was wronged.
"Because you are the Ghost Rider." Sam licked his dry lips, and his voice seemed much hoarse.
"Legends about Ghost Rider actually exist all over the world, but most of them appear in the form of demons. To be precise, Ghost Rider is indeed a demon. Legend has it that a long time ago, God sent an angel to the earth , to protect the human world and fight against an ancient elemental demon named Zatanos who was harming the world at that time. The battle was fierce, but the angel still won, but when Zatanos was killed, his elemental essence It also infected the angels. If it was just like this, things would not get worse. But Mephisto saw the opportunity, so he launched a conspiracy. The angels were deceived, captured, and taken to hell, and were constantly tempted by the devil. And when faith is lost, the soul is polluted, so the task of protecting mankind becomes a desire to punish evildoers, and he becomes a vengeful soul, that is, a spirit of vengeance.”
"Angel..." Johnny felt like he had discovered another element. "Are there really angels?"
If there are angels, is it possible to be saved? After all, there is nothing wrong with demons and angels. Isn’t it natural that angels can restrain demons?
But unfortunately, his luck was soon broken.
"No!" Dean said firmly.
If you want to say which group in the world least believes in God, it is undoubtedly the demon hunters.
Isn't that ironic?
A group that specializes in dealing with all kinds of monsters and monsters actually doesn’t believe in God at all.
But this is indeed the case.
The reason is very simple. As a group of demon hunters, we have only seen all kinds of monsters and ghosts harming people, but we have never seen any angel sister come out to help! If there is a God, why doesn’t God attack those evil spirits? If God really exists, why do he allow so many demons to kill his followers?
The longer he works as a witcher, the less likely he is to believe in God.
"Ah..." Johnny was at a loss, a little at a loss, there was obviously a demon.
Kai had to explain: "The demons we are talking about now are two different concepts from the demons in religion. They are actually creatures from another dimension. It is okay to treat them as aliens, but these aliens happen to like Just eat human souls.”
"The angel I just mentioned..."
"In ancient times, people like to mythologize things they don't understand. Maybe this angel is an alien with super powers. In short, it depends on how you understand it, but it shouldn't have anything to do with God." Sam said disdainfully said.
This disdain is not for those people in ancient times, but for God.
A fake thing has been deceiving for so many years.
"Let's get down to business. In short, although the Ghost Rider is vicious, he also targets guilty people."
Johnny felt much more comfortable all of a sudden. He was not a sweet boy. Killing bad guys was much easier to accept than killing good guys.
"It's a pity that in the eyes of Ghost Rider...it seems that no one is innocent."
Johnny suddenly became melancholy, and when he spoke... could he tell everything at once?
"Why me?" This is Johnny's biggest concern now.
"This..." Sam hesitated and said, "It is said that in ancient times, a man from Kyle sealed the spirit of vengeance. After that, the eldest son of every generation of the Kyle family will have the ability to communicate with the spirit of vengeance. To have his power. It's a curse."
"Well, it's very possible, because this also explains the biggest reason why Mephisto tries to control you. After all, on Earth, his power is not very strong, so he needs the Ghost Rider to do things for him."
"The spirit of vengeance, the curse of the Kyle family...Ghost Rider."
My mind is a little confused. But he vaguely remembered that his mother's original surname was Kyle. But it was so long ago that he had no impression at all. He tried hard to recall, but what followed was a sharp pain that came to the depths of his soul!
ah! ! !
Johnny covered his head and screamed.
"Ahhhh..." The memory that flashed back in Johnny's mind finally settled on a skull-like face. He suddenly fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands, showing an expression of extreme pain: "What happened to me? Get out of here! Get out of here!"
boom! At this moment, a raging fire burned behind him. The exposed skin on the face and hands began to peel away, revealing the white bones.
But in an instant, Kai came to him, grabbed his head, and shouted: "Look at me!!!"
Kai's eyes suddenly burst into golden light.
Johnny immediately felt his mind clear, and then a scream faded away in his mind.
"What's wrong with me? Is that thing..."
Sam immediately felt Johnny's side and examined Johnny.
"It should be the spirit of vengeance."
"I..." Johnny suddenly became frightened. He was afraid that he would become that kind of monster. That kind of unreserved killing intent, the urge to kill everything, he even wants to burn the whole world together! That monster, tell him, that's called purification!
Those phantoms in his mind made Johnny feel desperate. He would rather die than become a killing machine!
Thinking of this, Johnny suddenly became determined: "Kill me! You can definitely do it, right! Kill me, I don't want to be manipulated by that kind of monster!"
This decisive choice suddenly made the three people present in awe.
Not everyone would make this choice, it was so decisive. Even Sam, who was originally uncomfortable with Johnny's collusion with the devil, suddenly changed his mind about Johnny.
Same goes for Kai.
He originally really wanted to kill him.
It's a pity that it didn't work out.
This thing is really hard to kill.
But that doesn't mean Kai can't do anything. It's just that Kai has been hesitant to do so.
but now……
"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Sam is a very kind-hearted person. He hated Johnny before, but now he feels soft-hearted after seeing Johnny being so decisive. "Although I don't know how to solve it, in history, the Ghost Rider has never caused any big trouble, which means that there must be some way to solve this problem, and we can solve it slowly."
Unexpectedly, Johnny shook his head and refused.
"Even if the monster can be suppressed, what about Mephisto? Will he give up?"
Sam and Dean were silent as well.
"So kill me! That's the best solution!"
It wasn't until this moment that Kai spoke up.
"I have an idea, but I need your approval."
"What can we do?" The three people looked over immediately.
Kai looked at the Wen brothers. Then he said: "That means selling his soul to me."
"Huh?" The three of them were dumbfounded.
On the contrary, Ah Fu's eyes lit up when the food came out!
Indeed, there are not only demons in this world who trade souls.
