178, Ghost Rider
"My name is Johnny Blaze, I'm a former motorcyclist, you may have heard my name, or you don't know anything about me, I'm on the run, fleeing from one end of the world to the other, but no matter how far I run, some demons will never get rid of it."
"This not-so-wonderful story began many years ago, when I had all the beauty in the world, family, loved ones, lovers...... I once did three backflips on a motorcycle in front of 22,000 people, well, there should be videos on the Internet, you can go and see it, people call me 'Hot Johnny'. ”
"Then my father fell ill, and I did something that is still insane to think about, when a demon approached me, and he claimed to be Mephisto, a liar and a bastard, a sinister guy who specializes in deceiving souls and leading people to depne."
"Well, that's right, you guessed it, I agreed to that ridiculous deal, signed a contract with the devil, and it turns out that anyone who wants to take advantage of it usually doesn't end well."
"I am possessed by a vengeful spirit and turn into a terrible monster as soon as I smell sin...... Hunt down all the criminals and villains, take away and suck their filthy and depraved souls, but who hasn't made a mistake, except for the good guys and bad guys in this world, most of them are some guys who are not of noble character, they may not have killed people, but they must have done something dishonorable, such as telling a little lie, downloading it illegally, deceiving their family members or playing a prank. ”
"Maybe these people deserve to be punished, but sin is not unto death, is it? So I tried my best to suppress it, away from the crowd, and in that beloved motorcycle, running around the world...... It hasn't been around for a long time. ”
"But, tonight, I have a hunch that a new Ghost Rider is born."
"Perhaps, Mephisto will come to the door soon, I don't know how long I can escape."
"My name is Johnny Blaze, a foolish man who made a pact with the devil."
"It's shouting, roaring, roaring...... Ghost Rider, Hunt the Darkness! ”
Johnny awoke from his sleep again, sweat-soaked clothes, the angel who had been tormented mad by the sins of the world, reduced to a terrible spirit of vengeance, now residing in his own body.
Almost every night, he could hear a wild roar, it longed for the sinful soul, but Johnny desperately suppressed the impulse in his body, away from the crowd, hiding in a remote corner, only in this way could he resist the boiling blood in his heart.
Whipping cold water on his face, Johnny looked at his thin cheeks in the mirror, destined to bear the curse of Mephisto for the rest of his life, reduced to a vengeful spirit that feeds on the souls of sinners.
"Anyone?" A stranger visited, pushed open the iron door, "Sorry to disturb you." ”
The black man in a leather trench coat walked in, and before he could stand firmly, Johnny grabbed him and slammed him against the wall, "Who are you?" ”
After several years of solitary life, the former stunt driver was extremely wary of anyone, and he refused to accept the approach of others, because there are always very few saints with imperfect morals in this world, and once they feel the breath of sinners, the mad spirit of revenge will appear with joy and absorb the souls of the other party.
"My name is Morrow, and I'm here for you." The black man looked at him with a strange look, "Johnny Blaze." ”
He looked at Johnny as he packed up his things and was about to leave, picked up the beer bottle on the table, and "banged" the window, and the sunlight came in directly.
Johnny subconsciously hides in a corner, the vengeful spirit in his body hates sunlight, so it is only released at night, so he always takes advantage of the daytime activities, and hides in a dark corner of the remote and uninhabited at night.
"Ghost Rider, I've heard your story." The black man said inscrutablely, "You think you can control it and make it work for you?" Will you be stronger than this hungry guy? It's like a curse that wraps around you tightly! ”
Johnny didn't bother to pay attention to the stranger talking to himself, pushed open the iron door of the warehouse, and after getting a little used to the sun, he was ready to ride his own big Yamaha devil.
Since this place has been found, it means that he should leave, and he has been living this wandering life for several years.
"I need your help!" The black man chased after him and shouted, "We're going to make a deal, this way you're most familiar with, Johnny." ”
He took out a wrinkled photo from his pocket and placed it on the body, "This child, his life and soul are in danger, you must save him." ”
Johnny grinned and said self-deprecatingly, "I only punish sinners, I don't know how to save people." ”
"Then why are you here? Johnny Blaze! The black man named Moro laughed, his eyes full of banter, "You have fled thousands of miles from the place where you were born to the other side of the world, aren't you afraid that you will become a ghost rider completely?" ”
"It's all the will of the gods, the curse you're carrying, and this child, it all started with the contract you signed."
"He's Mephisto's child, Ghost Rider is the best at tracking the scent of demons, and only you can find this child."
Johnny's eyelids fluttered when he heard the demon's name, he picked up the picture and asked, "What deal do you want to make with me?" ”
"My monastic order is very old, once a demon like Mephisto, a demon like a hell lord, wreaked havoc across Europe, countless witches were burned to death, the occult was denounced as heresy, and it was not until the Templar mages established a system of Trinity of magic that these soul-coveting minions of hell were banished."
Moro is a member of the Templars, but he did not choose to become a mage, but was responsible for campaigning for the Order, "We have studied the demonic contract quite a bit, and we are fully capable of lifting the curse and saving the soul for you, as long as you bring that child." ”
Johnny stared at the picture, his heart was stirring, he was tired of this wandering, isolated and isolated life, in order to suppress the vengeful spirit in his body, he said goodbye to his beloved girlfriend, rode his motorcycle along the road, no friends and family, locked himself in a dark room at night, and fought against the terrifying existence that was so crazy that he was.
"The Templar mage is also looking for this child, but as a ghost rider, you have an advantage." Morrow said.
In the temple texts, he saw the record of the Evil Ghost Rider, the first knight of Mephisto, a Texas Ranger named Carter Slay, who was once arrested and imprisoned for greed, and made a pact with the devil in order to regain his freedom, and the second was Johnny Blaze, a stunt rider who once caused a sensation in the United States, and they were all possessed by the spirit of revenge and became evil ghost riders who hunted sinners and absorbed souls.
According to information received by the Templar mage, Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, is trying to walk in a new way through the mortal world, freeing himself from the physical world's power and will soon perform a ritual of rebirth.
And the body that bears Mephisto's soul is the child named Danny, who is a combination of demon and mortal, like a perfect vessel that can hold all his powers.
"Johnny Blaze, you have to find that kid quickly, or Mephisto will come to visit sooner or later." Moro looked serious, and as far as he knew, a third Ghost Rider had appeared.
The mage of the New York Temple detected a strong demonic aura, but it didn't last long, and the Lord of Hell, who was bent on walking in a normal way, found a new knight.
Johnny stared at the picture again, his voice suddenly hoarse, like two people overlapping into one, "I'll find him." ”
