"Wow"

On the white bone body of the newly resurrected Ghost Rider, the scorching, eternal flame quickly peeled away.

Under Konstantin's astonished gaze, the strange flaming skeleton rapidly transformed into a human.

A soul body like him and Merlin.

Black hair, melancholy eyes, and heavy dark circles that appear due to long-term inability to rest.

There was an air of considerable decadence on the whole person.

It's like a prodigal son who has fallen into hell.

Johnny. Blaze.

"Smack"

The moment Zatanos retracted his strength, Johnny's weakened soul staggered and fell to the ground like a collapsed stone statue, and was quickly held up by Merlin's eyes.

"Get some wine."

Merlin said something to Zakon, who immediately ran to the bar.

Johnny was propped up in a chair, and Merlin crouched beside him.

He held out his finger and snapped his fingers in front of Johnny's eyes, drawing his somewhat glazed eyes to Merlin.

"Merlin?"

Johnny looked blankly at Merlin in front of him, and he grabbed Merlin's hand.

He said:

"You... How could you be here? ”

"That's a long story, let's have a drink first, you look like you need a break."

Merlin took the bottle from Zakon and handed it to Johnny.

The latter took it in his hand, and in a booze, raised his head, and poured the spicy, strangely colored liquor into his throat.

The thirsty soul is nourished by the wine.

It tasted terrible, but after a bottle of wine, Johnny quickly recovered from that malaise.

"Oh my God."

He sat down in a chair with his head in his hands, and said to the two men beside him in a very painful tone:

"I've been torn apart hundreds of times by those bastards... Now it hurts to shake your head, like being glued together. ”

"You've been torn apart so many times and still managed to keep your consciousness from collapsing."

Holding his arms together, he said to Johnny:

"You're strong, man."

"Because there's an evil spirit protecting me, brother."

Johnny couldn't lift his spirits, he leaned back on the table, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said:

"Really, I've never thanked that bastard Zatanos like I do now... Ever since I was thrown into this hellish place, I've had to 'live with it'. ”

"That's what I want to ask."

Merlin said to Johnny:

"What happened to you when you died? How did you end up in this place? Why are you entangled with Zatanos again? ”

Merlin Says:

"I saw Mephistopheles end your ties to Zatanos... How did you become Ghost Rider again? ”

"Mephistopheles didn't do it, Merlin."

Johnny gritted his teeth and said:

"It was done by an angel."

"At the moment when I was pushed downstairs by Mephistopheles, smashed to the ground, and my soul was out of my body, I saw him, uh, maybe she..."

"Angels have no gender."

Zakang reminded:

"They can be male or female, but most of the angels are very stinky, so they appear as women a lot of the time."

"Well, that's her."

Johnny rubbed his sour head and said:

"She told me I couldn't go to heaven because I had a pact with the devil, but I still had a chance to save myself and I wanted to contribute to justice... I want to atone for my sins. ”

"And then I was thrown to this place."

Johnny looked up and made a helpless look at Merlin:

"Zatanos was already in my body when I woke up, but it wasn't all here..."

"It's like it's been cut off, it's weak now, just like me."

"No wonder."

Merlin nodded, and he said:

"No wonder the two of you are combined, but you will still be torn apart by those demons."

"I'll just say, how can the most promising Ghost Rider of all time be so weak... That angel, did she tell you what she wanted you to do? ”

"Nope."

Johnny clenched his fists and said:

"I feel like she's trying to torture me."

"Every night, Zatanos roars in my soul, it roars to rush out of this hell, and I ride the locomotive with it, and run wildly across the ash-filled land..."

"The gates of hell, the gates of hell, that's what we're aiming for."

"But every time we try, we fail, it's like an illusion of hope, we just chase the freedom that we can never get, and then die again and again on the road."

Johnny looked at his illusory hands, and he looked at Merlin.

He said:

"Last night was the closest we got to the gates of hell, and you helped us, didn't you?"

"Yes."

Merlin Says:

"I was also doing an experiment, and it didn't turn out that well."

"Did Zatanos tell you anything more? What about it and the Archangel Landkill, and what about Mephistopheles? ”

"Nope."

Johnny shook his head, and he said:

"It doesn't want to say, it seems to be hiding some secrets, too."

"Let it out."

Merlin patted Johnny on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be afraid, brother, Zakang and I are already thinking of a way, with you joining, our chances of winning will be greatly improved, but I have to make sure that the evil spirit in your body doesn't mess around..."

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet."

Merlin looked at Johnny:

"Would you like to join our 'Homecoming Alliance'?"

"Of course!"

Johnny said without hesitation:

"I believe you, Merlin, even if I follow you into the Doomsday Volcano, I am willing, not to mention, Roseanne is still waiting for me in the human world..."

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded to Johnny and said:

"Okay, good brother, we'll get out of here!"

"Awesome, everyone has a beautiful girl waiting in the world."

With a sour tone, as if he had eaten several lemons, he said sourly:

"As far as I don't, I only have a fat house waiting for me in the world, thinking about it like this, it seems that freedom is not so beautiful, it's really miserable."

"Don't you have a succubus?"

Merlin stood up and took a few steps back, watching as the Hellfire ignited on Johnny's soul.

He said to Zakang:

"Your succubus is the best, Zakang, don't be dissatisfied."

"Shh

Zakang pursed his lips, and the guy whispered:

"No matter how delicious the dish is, you will be tired of eating it for ten years..."

"Boom"

The scorching flames of hell erupted in front of the eyes of the two men, and in the burning flames, the spirit of vengeance once again took possession of Johnny's soul.

The flaming skeleton's eye sockets lifted and stared at Merlin.

Its palatine swayed up and down like a mocking laugh.

Then he stuck out his finger bones and made a rude gesture to Merlin.

Well...

Still as crazy as before, as unruly as before.

"You're getting weaker."

Merlin didn't care about the rudeness of the damned skeleton, and he crossed his arms and said to Zatanos:

"Johnny told me that you're not fully formed right now... So what the hell is going on? ”

"And that's not your credit?"

Ghost Rider said in a hoarse voice like bones rubbing:

"When do you think Johnny and I were thrown here? We came after you, Merlin... You're really doing a great job. ”

"Huh?"

Merlin blinked in surprise, and said:

"You mean, Johnny wasn't thrown into hell immediately after he died, but was sealed for a while... So, explain, what's going on? ”

"Hehe, what does that incompetent fool know!"

Zatanos sat in a chair at the Zakon bar in the position of a big man.

The obsidian chair was baked underneath its ass, and soon melted and scattered like lava around Ghost Rider.

It laughed sarcastically, and said to Merlin in a vicious tone:

"After Johnny was killed by Mephistopheles, I was taken back to the hell of the Great Devil, and suffered as much as ever until 7 months ago..."

"One day, Mephistopheles, who has always liked to pretend to be a ghost, fled back to his own hell as if he had been scared out of his soul."

The burning skeleton had a very human, mocking smile on its face.

It says:

"It was really frightened, probably to witness a terrible thing, in short, the great devil shut himself up in his palace, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, still shivering."

Zatanus made a very graphic gesture and said:

"For a few days, Mephistopheles was in such a mess that no one cared about it."

"Randekille seized the opportunity, and that bitch took a few vengeful spirits that had been maded by the Great Devil and sent them into the cage that held me captive."

"They were going to smuggle me out of Mephistopheles and into heaven so I could work for those damn bitches..."

"But things went wrong."

The mad vengeful spirit rudely spat hot saliva into the ground, melting a hole in the floor.

It shook its bony body very unpleasantly, and it cursed and said:

"Those stupid people with less brains walked the border of hell, and as soon as they carried me into the border of hell, they encountered a group of crazy demons."

"It's like those demons have been infected by some goddamn disease, and they've become disgusting things, they're so numerous, and they can't communicate, and they're in the mess with those goddamn idiots."

"Originally, those vengeful spirits could repel them, but probably because of Lao Tzu's bad luck, in short, there was a great earthquake on the border of hell, and the terrain of the whole world was reshaped."

The skeleton stood up very unpleasantly, snatched a cigar from Zakon's hand, put it to his mouth, and said:

"The vengeful spirits that carried me were crushed under the crust of heaven and earth, and I, Lao Tzu, were thrown like a stone at the entrance to the passage of hell."

"Mephistopheles soon got the news, and it came and took me back to its hell."

"But before it came, that damn bitch angel had already cut off a piece of my soul."

Zatanos let out a puff of smoke with flames, and he spread his hands and sat down in the lava beneath his buttocks, and he said:

"That's all there is to the story."

"That bitch of Randekill's plan to take advantage of the fire has failed."

"To hide her failures so that she wouldn't be ridiculed by the other bitches in heaven, she simply made up a story and told Johnny that the idiot was going to atone for his sins to get into heaven."

"And threw him and me in here."

The mad vengeful spirit snorted in disdain, and said:

"Only a fool like Johnny would believe the story of a kid, and Randekille has no power to free any soul from here..."

"This is God's creation! It is to punish the evil spirits who do not deserve to be saved. ”

"How do you know?"

Zha Kang behind Merlin asked in surprise.

Zatanos snorted, and the flame skeleton said proudly:

"Because when he made this hell, Lao Tzu was watching from the sidelines! You ignorant fool! ”

"Merlin!"

Zakang tugged at Lamelin's wrist, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

If what the Spirit of Vengeance says is true.

It and Johnny's appearance here is just a remedy made by an archangel to cover up the failure, so Merlin's previous guess was wrong.

Johnny doesn't have any conspiracy on him, and there's no way out of the wasteland from him.

"You said you saw God create this hell with your own eyes."

Merlin looked at Zatanos with burning eyes, and he said:

"Then surely you know how to leave? Right. ”

"Of course I do."

The Flame Skull opened its flaming palatal bone, and it laughed and said:

"Or do you think that Lao Tzu is well fed, endured the pain of being torn apart again and again, and rushed to the gate of hell with the incompetent Johnny?"

"I know that all the evil spirits in this wasteland think that door is just a decoration, but it is not."

The spirit of vengeance whispered:

"It does allow evil spirits to get out of here, but it needs to meet certain conditions..."

"I only know that I can only cross it at midnight, but there are other conditions, maybe some kind of special transportation... Maybe..."

"Try again tonight!"

Merlin said to Zatanos:

"You were only 50 meters away from last night... I, Konstantin, and I will go with you tonight..."

"It's only 50 meters!"

"But we don't know what's behind that door!"

Zakang whispered:

"What if there is an abyss behind that door, if there is only another hell behind that door?"

"We don't know... If God had created this hell, he would certainly not have let the prisoners escape so easily. ”

"Let's go over and talk about it first!"

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he clenched his fists:

"Don't think too much about it at this time... Rush over first. ”

Merlin cheered up his companions, but he didn't know the bottom of his own heart.

But Merlin had a feeling.

It's really not going to be that simple.

Maybe behind that hell gate, something was waiting for them.

Those things...

Perhaps, it is the key to getting out of trouble.
