Chapter 297: St. Michael's Church
Two nights later, a warehouse on the outskirts of Houston.
A night watchman with a large flashlight in his hand patrolled around the warehouse, he saw several figures shaking, so he shouted: "Hey~~~ Who, this is a private person" The night watchman stopped, because he saw a miserable white and cold face.
"Private property," the night watchman uttered the second half of the sentence.
The miserable white face is the witch heart demon, and the few people around him are the demons he has summoned.
"This is a cemetery, why is it gone?" The Witchheart Demon asked coldly as he stared at the Night's Watch.
The night watchman's natural fear of seeing several people more than the others made him swallow a mouthful of spit, and he said in a trembling voice, "Moved away." ”
"Where did you move to?" Witchheart continued to ask, and several of the men around him surrounded the Night's Watch, all of them letting out disgusting laughter.
"I don't know much about this," said the night watchman, "and the church is responsible for the relocation. ”
"What church?" The Witch Demon continued to ask.
"St. Michael's Church, oh, I think you can get out of here now." The night watchman replied.
The Witchheart walked up to him and reached out to touch his chest. ~~~~~The night watchman immediately trembled, and his whole body began to turn black and cold, and then it was as if he had been sucked away, and after a while, he turned into a shriveled skeleton, and then died suddenly on the ground.
"I'm here. I don't plan to leave. Witchheart said to the corpse of the Night's Watch.
Meanwhile, Houston, St. Michael's Church.
A young man in a black jacket is praying alone in front of the statue of Jesus. He is Lin Yang. Originally, according to the memory of the movie, he went directly to the cemetery on the outskirts of Houston, and according to the movie, he knew that the Covenant of St. Van Gonza was in the hands of the grave keeper of this cemetery. This grave keeper is called Carter Slay, and he is a ghost rider of the previous generation.
But Lin Yang searched here for two days, and he didn't find the grave keeper here at all. Could it be a change? Lin Yang thought. Or that without Johnny's appearance, that Carter Slay would not have appeared?
In this case, Lin Yang estimated that the witch demon would definitely go to St. Michael's Church. So. He inquired all the way to this place, and he had to wait for the appearance of the Witch Demon.
"Hey lad, it's getting late, it's time for you to get out of here." At this time, a voice came from behind Lin Yang.
Lin Yang turned around and saw a priest approaching, still holding a Bible and a cross in his hand.
"I'm praying, Father." Lin Yang stood up, his straight figure standing under the statue of Jesus, "But. I don't know why, no matter how much humans pray, they can't stop the arrival of demons. ”
The priest, who looked to be in his fifties, heard Lin Yang's words seem to have a deep meaning, so he lifted the cross. Walking towards Lin Yang step by step, he said, "Then who are you, are you an angel or a demon?" ”
"Hehe, do you see a difference in me?" Lin Yang turned his back and said with a smile: "I know, you know about the Saint Van Gonza Contract. You know its secret, and you've been guarding it, right? ”
The priest stopped, the cross in his hand was straight at Lin Yang, and said in a trembling voice: "You are also here to snatch the contract, right, you are a demon from hell, right?" ”
"Huh." Lin Yang waved his hand, he looked up at the statue of Jesus, and the archangel next to the portrait, and then said humorously: "Have you ever seen such a handsome demon?" Drop your guards, Father. I tell you honestly, I am not a demon, on the contrary, I am here to destroy demons. ”
"You, you're the Ghost Rider?" The priest was shocked.
"You know Ghost Rider too?" Lin Yang smiled, "It's a pity, I'm not an evil ghost rider, but that's not important, I have a hunch that this church is in danger with you, so I'm here to help you." ”
"And who are you?" The priest continued.
"Why are you so nervous? Shall we sit down and talk? Lin Yang said.
The priest stood there and hesitated for five minutes before he felt the smell and temperature of a human being on Lin Yang's body. Then he exhaled, and then he walked over to Lin Yang, and the two sat together on the pews in the church.
"Before you talk to me, you must tell me honestly before God, who are you? Where are you from? The priest said.
"My name is Lin Yang, I am from the far east, I can say that I am an exorcist, and the purpose of my existence is to kill the demons in the human world." Although he was in front of the statue of Jesus, Lin Yang did not feel uncomfortable when he lied, after all, it was a white lie.
The priest looked at Lin Yang carefully, and then stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Johnson, and I am the priest here. ”
Lin Yang politely stretched out his hand, shook it with him, and said with a smile: "You are a priest, I can see this." ”
"Well," Johnson said amused by Lin Yang's humor, "young man, what are you here for?" You just said our church is in danger? ”
"Yes." Lin Yang nodded, and then said, "Not only the church, you are also in danger, well, do you know the witch heart demon?" ”
When the priest heard the word Witch Heart Demon, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he muttered, "He is the demon of hell in myths and legends, an incomparably powerful demon. ”
"He's here." Lin Yang said slowly.
Johnson's face suddenly became very ugly, he shook his head and said: "It's impossible, it's impossible, it's just myths and legends, myths and legends."
"You don't have to doubt it, I fought him once two days ago." Lin Yang said lightly.
"What?" The priest was stunned.
"You don't believe me?" Lin Yang asked.
"I don't know, I don't know," the priest couldn't react for a moment.
Lin Yang raised his hand and pointed to the first candle lit in front of the statue of Jesus. Moved. The flame of the candle elongated onto Lin Yang's palm, and the small flame turned into a long line of fire.
"I will use flames to burn the demons of the world to ashes," Lin Yang looked at the priest and continued.
A simple magic shook the priest, and he muttered: "The legend is true, the legend is true, are you sure you are not a ghost rider?" ”
"Huh." Lin Yang put away the Dao method. He smiled and said, "I'm sure of that, I can tell you that I didn't just meet the Witch Heart Demon two days ago. And he ran into his father."
"Demon King Mephitos!" The priest exclaimed.
"Looks like you know a lot." Lin Yang said, "Yes, he wants to turn me into a ghost rider, but I don't want to sell my soul. ”
"Oh," said the priest, frowning, "it is a terrible thing to sell your soul. But this is the only way to stop the Witchheart. If the Witchheart Demon is allowed to obtain the Saint Van Gonza Contract, then it will be the end of the entire human race. ”
"Don't worry, I can deal with the Witchheart." Lin Yang said confidently.
The priest shook his head, and continued, "Young man, you may not know that only Ghost Rider can deal with him. ”
"Why? Why don't you believe me, I've already fought with him. Lin Yang felt that this priest might not have seen his own strength yet.
"You beat him the first time, you don't necessarily beat him the second time"
"What?" Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, his understanding of the strength of the Witch Heart Demon. He himself is only through movies, does this guy have any special skills? Could it be the one that gets stronger and stronger the more you fight, the same as the Hulk?
"The Witch Demon is a powerful devil, this has been recorded in legends, and his strength is not even as good as his father's. That's why his father wants to do everything possible to get Ghost Rider to destroy him. I can also tell you that in addition to the Ghost Rider, there have been other exorcists who have fought against him before. ”
"The result?"
"It's all gone."
"No, it won't." Lin Yang looked at the priest puzzled, he thought in his heart, when he fought with him, he didn't feel so powerful.
"The most powerful place for the Witchheart. It's not his ice devouring technique, it's his demagoguery, he's a soulless devil who can easily take over anyone's mind. After that, it is easy to manipulate them. So, he was able to summon countless demons. The priest explained.
"But I don't feel like he's taking over my soul?" Lin Yang asked.
"He'll do it! He can find any weakness in your mind and devour it little by little," said the priest.
Lin Yang thought of the former Zeng Sen and his wife, and thought of Zeng Jun, could it be that the witch heart demon also knows this kind of mind control technique? And much more powerful than them.
"Isn't Ghost Rider afraid of that?" Lin Yang asked.
The priest nodded, and continued, "You probably don't know much about Ghost Rider. ”
"What? Please tell me about it. Lin Yang said.
"Well, I can tell you." The priest got up and looked at the portrait of Jesus, then made another cross on his chest and continued: "Do you know the origin of the Ghost Rider? ”
Lin Yang shook his head.
"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, long ago the demon Zatanos built for himself an energy base that sucked the souls of humans. This provoked attacks on him from the Blood Church and the Demon King Mephisto. Eventually, Mephisto defeated Zatanos by trickery and enslaved his soul. Mephisto implanted the soul of Zatanos into the human soul for research, and under the medium of a mysterious substance, the world's first ghost rider appeared.
There's a lot of story, and it's complicated, but I can tell you a little bit about it. Each Ghost Rider has the soul of Zatanos within his body. Zatanos is an ancient demon of hell who wields more power than the Witch Demon. ”
"You mean it's because of Zatanos that Ghost Rider became powerful?" Lin raised his eyebrows and said with a slight frown.
"Not exactly. Once a person becomes a ghost rider, his soul is cursed by Zatanos, a power that makes the ghost rider have no relatives or friends, and is destined to be alone for a lifetime. However, most of the strength of the Ghost Rider does not come from Zatanos. The priest continued. (To be continued)
