When Johnny saw Kai take out a dazzling gold cup and put it in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
Today, he has had enough stimulation, including demons, angels, hell, demon hunters, etc., including a demon hidden in his body, which makes him feel that he has seen the world and nothing can shake him. his heart.
As a result, Kai took out a golden cup.
This thing... Johnny has also read books!
"It..." Johnny pointed at the golden cup and said to Kai, but he didn't know how to say it: "It... it..."
Anyway, it was 'it' for a long time and I was speechless.
Seeing this, Kai said for him: "You want to ask if this is the legendary Holy Grail?"
Johnny nodded quickly! The Legend of the Holy Grail... Is there really anyone in the entire Western world who doesn't know about this?
"In a sense... yes." Kai did not choose to hide it. After all, Johnny had accepted to give his soul to Kai.
Speaking of this, when Kai asked Johnny if he would give his soul to him, the Wen brothers looked more than a little surprised. In their view, there is no one else but the devil who can take away people's souls. Kai this is...
Kai didn't explain this to the two of them. The less people knew about this, the better.
Instead, Johnny was pulled into a secret room and operated in private.
"This is really...really..."
Johnny felt like he couldn't say anything. After all...the devil or something, to be honest, if he didn't find it, he could still accept it, but now...the Holy Grail is right in front of him!
"There is a slight difference, but generally there should be nothing wrong with it." Kai said.
Johnny swallowed and calmed down a little. After all, he had experienced such a big shock before, and now even if he saw something nonsense, he could quickly put his mind back together.
"Can this... really help me get rid of Mephisto?"
"No!" Kai said without hesitation. Just kidding, Mephisto has been coveting Ghost Rider for who knows how many years, it’s surprising that he can backhand him. "However, your soul can escape his clutches, which means you don't have to worry about his control for the time being, but he will never let you go, that's for sure."
Although the Holy Grail does not look like much, the power of the Holy Grail is actually very exaggerated. However, this thing is a double-edged sword. If you want to fulfill any wish, you must pay the corresponding price. Even if Kai is the owner of the Holy Grail, he can only Acting within the rules of the Holy Grail, but also paying a price, that is, Kai has a golden finger, otherwise it would not be enough for him. For example, all those who drink the water of the Holy Grail, when they gain strength, are destined that their souls will be taken back by the Holy Grail. The reason why they can still live well is entirely because Kai paid the price for them, but this is only a temporary solution. In the end, their souls still have to return to the Holy Grail. This cannot be changed.
The reason why the Holy Grail can ensure that Johnny can get rid of the contract with Mephisto is very simple. The power of the Holy Grail involves the power of real rules, and it represents cause and effect!
The cause and effect of the Holy Grail has the highest priority!
In other words, once Johnny and the Holy Grail reach a deal, it means that Mephisto's contract is covered. If Mephisto wants to get Johnny's soul or control Johnny, he must obtain the consent of the Holy Grail, but The problem is that the Holy Grail belongs to Kai. Will Kai agree?
When Johnny heard this, he took a deep breath and shook his head, indicating that that was enough.
"It's enough to get me out of his control...but what about the spirit of vengeance?"
One of the two crises has been temporarily resolved, but there is still one left.
That one looks more difficult.
"The power of the Holy Grail will change you and allow you to gain strength. This power may not be as powerful as the Spirit of Vengeance, but it will give you the opportunity to control the power of the Spirit of Vengeance! Understand. And if there is really a problem, I also Can control you through the Holy Grail, just like Mephisto wants!"
The Holy Grail can grant Johnny extraordinary powers. In essence, Johnny is still a human being. He can only transform when he is connected to the power of the Vengeful Spirit. It would be a joke to let an ordinary person control such a powerful force, and it would be very, very difficult, but what if Johnny was a transcendent?
And Kai gave Johnny more than just this.
Said Kai took out two other things.
A crystal containing starlight.
And a thread-bound blue book with Chinese characters written on it: Kunlun Magic!
"What's this?"
Johnny pointed at the bright crystal, it was so eye-catching.
"Dragon bone." Kai said simply and clearly.
Johnny tilted his head and didn't understand.
Kai didn't explain it to him but said: "This thing can improve your physical fitness and also allow you to have 'qi'."
"Qi?" Then Johnny reacted quickly: "What about the putty removal skills?"
Speaking of this, Johnny could not help but beam with joy.
Chinese kung fu is very popular in the United States, and there is a group in the United States that likes to watch old kung fu movies from the last century. Those low-quality Shaw Brothers kung fu movies that are considered low by Chinese people are very popular among these stupid foreigners. It seems Johnny is also part of this circle.
"That's right!" After speaking, Kai handed over the book.
"Is this a skill?!" Johnny excitedly took the blue book. When he watched Kung Fu movies, there would always be books like this in them. It was a very powerful Kung Fu, and then many people competed for this Kung Fu, and all kinds of grievances occurred. hatred. So in excitement, he also revealed Chinese. Unfortunately, his Chinese was terrible, and the secrets turned into tricks.
"Yes, this is the secret book of kung fu." This stuff was tortured out of the minds of the five guys in the Shou Hehui.
These guys are probably on the same path as Daniel. Kunlun just learned some basic martial arts and then ran out to dominate. The power of this thing after cultivation...is just that. At most, he is just another Daniel, but Kai can see Zhongzheng Hehe. Practicing this martial arts is not very powerful, but it can cultivate the mind and improve one's spiritual cultivation. To put it simply, this thing is actually nothing at all. Not for fighting.
Those idiots in Shou Hehui are completely out of practice. They are like evil heretics who blindly pursue the power of kung fu and discard the essence of it like worn shoes.
Absolutely ridiculous.
It seems that this skill is quite brilliant, and even has the meaning of transcending the world. Maybe it is not so satisfactory when facing the enemy, but it is very clever in cultivating internal skills. At least I haven't heard of this kind of martial arts in my previous life. Of course, the internal strength here does not only represent internal strength, energy and the like, but a more general essence!
Simply put, it’s the ultimate in health!
If you cultivate it, you will live forever!
It's infinitely better than health-preserving boxing like Tai Chi!
So this thing is not for Johnny to increase his combat power, but to build his internal strength!
It is used to cultivate one's moral character, nourish one's essence, cultivate one's soul, and achieve a state of calmness and calmness.
To put it more mysteriously, it is to use silence to restrain the irritability of the spirit of revenge!
This was the best solution Kai came up with. Kai actually tried to use sealing to seal the spirit of vengeance, turning Johnny into an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, it's useless. That thing is very weird, it doesn't use Kai's skills at all...it's really difficult to do.
This is the only way to go now.
But Johnny also has an advantage. He is actually not a very irritable person. Don't think that people who play extreme games have a hot temper. On the contrary, those who dare to commit suicide are calmer than anyone else. Otherwise, he would have burped earlier. Shit.
Secondly, Johnny’s willpower is really nothing to say.
A strong one, this can be seen from the fact that Johnny chased Kai and beat him, but let go of the Wen brothers who were close at hand. This was what the Wen brothers told Kai. At that time, Ghost Rider was indeed planning to kill the Wen brothers, but he got caught by something and struggled hard, and finally had to turn around and chase Kai. Along the way, it didn't move a single innocent person. It is absolutely impossible to say that Johnny's influence was not involved.
That's why Kai chose this method.
"Is this really effective?" After Kai's difficult explanation, Johnny was also looking forward to it.
"Absolutely effective!" That's all Kai could say.
After all, he has never tried this kind of thing, so how would he know?
Johnny's eyes gradually hardened and he nodded.
"But before that, I need you to do one more thing for me."
"What?"
"Let me kill you!"
…
The third day when the battle between Kai and the Flame Skull broke out.
Both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New York Police Department are very concerned about this matter, and the chief has urged Kai several times to give the results.
Kai only said that the killer ran away and that he was tracking him.
SHIELD is also pursuing the truth. Phil hoped to learn the truth from Kai several times, but unfortunately, Kai failed to catch him.
This made SHIELD very unhappy with Kai. After all, this was their scope of responsibility. Not only did they get involved, but they also didn't disclose it to SHIELD at all. This was going too far. Of course, this is a superficial reason, but the real reason is that Kai and the New York Police Department plan to set up a special affairs investigation department!
What the hell is this? It’s so bloody that I’m going to choke! (Choke: grab business)
How could SHIELD allow a department with overlapping functions to appear? Not even if New York City does it itself!
But they still have no way to stop it, threatening the New York Police Department?
Oh, if it had been left in the past, the chief director might have been timid, but now he is so timid, and the hat on his head is about to be taken off! And after all, isn't it the fault of SHIELD that he ended up in this situation?
During this period of time, during a series of bad things, did SHIELD give any help to the New York police?
No!
So if the child disappears and is used in evil rituals, does SHIELD have control over this?
You care!
The one who got scolded was the police station! In the end, the police solved the case, but SHIELD jumped out to snatch the evidence and witnesses...
What the hell is this?
Is my police station here to wipe your SHIELD's butt?
Of course, if it was just that, the chief would bear it.
But you can help me deal with the aftermath!
The joint pot is all ours. You just stand aside and watch the fun, but you still want me to continue to contribute?
Okay, now his contribution as a great director is almost gone. Why the hell are you still not allowing me to save myself? Then you should save me!
In front of the official hat, the director is too lazy to talk about S.H.I.E.L.D., why? SHIELD is awesome, then remove me!
What's more, the proposal of the Special Affairs Investigation Department is supported by the boss of the police department, the first commissioner of the police, the boss of New York, the mayor and the chief prosecutor. Who do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. is?
This time so many people were killed, but it was still their police station who found out.
SHIELD?
What a use for SHIELD!
Leave him alone!
So the New York Police Department was stunned that the Special Affairs Investigation Department did not reply to SHIELD at all. S.H.I.E.L.D. found that they seemed to have no control at all. They couldn't control the government.
The New York government pays its own money, organizes its own manpower, and formulates its own policies.
What the hell does SHIELD have to do with you?
Do you care? How many votes do you have?
This is the first time SHIELD has encountered this kind of thing, and it doesn't know how to deal with it.
Why haven't you encountered it before?
This depends on supply and demand.
In the past, supernatural phenomena were just that. The local government's demand in this area is not large at all. Since there is no demand, who has enough money to spend money to build such a department?
But the problem is that in recent years, such incidents have been happening one after another, especially in New York. It seems that the monsters particularly like New York.
New York is becoming more and more panicked about similar incidents.
Then the need was born.
When there is a need, supply naturally appears.
You, SHIELD, were supposed to be the largest service provider. But the problem is that you are not strong enough!
Every time you wait until the matter is over, you run out.
Co-author, you specialize in dealing with aftermath?
Need you for this kind of thing?
Since we have solved it ourselves, why should I accommodate you? Your service is not adequate!
So S.H.I.E.L.D. was in trouble.
This is also one of the reasons why Hawkeye was transferred to New York. Previously, the superiors felt that there were too many supernatural events in New York and that they needed elite soldiers. Unfortunately it's still too late.
Now the Flaming Skull incident is no longer just an ordinary supernatural case. It's about the political game between SHIELD and the New York City government.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to show off, then from now on in New York City... S.H.I.E.L.D. is completely helpless anyway.
In turn, S.H.I.E.L.D. can talk about this. After all, setting up a new department costs money! We at SHIELD can help you save some money, that's great. From now on, let's keep each other safe, and don't mess with the river.
So Phil was very anxious. He wanted to find the flaming skull more than anyone else.
They've got Johnny locked up.
But the problem is that after Kai took Johnny away that day, he disappeared.
Phil has serious suspicions that Johnny is in Kai's hands. It's just weird why Kai said Johnny ran away.
But that's okay! No matter what, he had to snatch Johnny away from Kai first, which would worsen their relationship with Kai.
However, SHIELD also learned very well.
Kai's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. is like that. How much worse could it be? Could Kai still be able to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Come on, no one will believe this.
Phil didn't believe it either.
So if I offend you temporarily, I will offend you, and I will slowly repair it in the future.
"Sir, target found!"
Just when SHIELD was at a loss, good news finally came!
"where?!!"
“In Brownsville, Brooklyn!”
His subordinates immediately projected the real-time picture onto the big screen. Sure enough, in the dilapidated neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn, a flaming skull riding a flaming motorcycle was dashing forward!
"Get Hawkeye ready immediately! All field agents rush to the scene immediately! We must arrest the suspect before Kai can react!"
For a moment, SHIELD's special agents moved into action.
However, the field agents who had been on standby set out first, and they rushed directly to the scene by helicopter.
