Rumble!

The orange-red flames rose into the sky, accompanied by the unique horse sound of "Xiu Xiu", Carter Slei instantly turned into a skeleton, wearing a denim suit and a cowboy hat on his head, making him, the original Ghost Rider, look very retro.

"Carter Shray ......"

Mephisto shifted his gaze and fell on this man who betrayed him, but was created by himself, with deep hatred in his eyes: "I created you and made you an extraordinary person, but you betrayed me!" ”

"You created me, and you used me."

Carter Sleigh's body flickered with flames, and a pair of hollow eyes revealed deep colors, and he was categorical: "I don't owe you." ”

"Johnny, kill him!"

Mephisto gave the order.

Johnny didn't want to follow Mephisto's orders, but his control over the skeleton's body did not reach the peak of Carter Slay's, and under the influence of the contract, he subconsciously took action, waving the chain attached to the motorcycle and shaking his hands reluctantly.

Swish!

There was a crackling sound in the air, and the chains swept by the flames burst into the air, and a formidable line of fire swept through with blazing heat, and slammed into Carter Sleigh, who was the same skeleton as himself in front of him.

David stood not far away, looking at this amazing picture, his expression calm.

Mephisto was face to face with him, his eyes cloudy, staring at everything that was happening as far as his eye could see, and the great malice contrasted with the dark clouds in the sky, condensed in this small world, and the moon was so frightened that she hid behind the clouds and did not dare to show her face.

Rumble!

At the moment when Johnny's flaming chains were about to fall heavily on Carter Slay, the latter was unmoved, just waved his hand.

"Hugh-"

Carter Shray's mount shared his life and consciousness, and at this moment, all four hooves soared into the air, rushing out like lightning, and arrived in front of Johnny in an instant.

Johnny's face changed slightly, and the end of the chain was about to fall on Carter Shray's chest, and suddenly rebounded in a spiral, trying to restrain the equally white and ossified fierce horse that attacked.

At the same time, Carter Slay made a move.

Sou!

The rope that had been tied to his mount shot up like a spirit and flew back into his hand.

With a shake of his shoulder, the rope ignited a soul flame, the blazing heat corresponded to the flames on Johnny's body, and the temperature around him rose a lot, and the air was visibly twisted.

The next moment, the rope collided with the chain, sparks splashed everywhere, and the Aurora Cemetery in the middle of the night seemed to be dyed red by the fire that erupted when it collided.

Where the two fought, the hut next to Aurora Cemetery, where Carter Shray had lived for a hundred years, fell apart like tofu blocks, rubble rolled down, stone chips flew and dust covered the sky.

The battle was instantly white-hot.

Both of them are ghost riders, and they have a certain understanding of each other.

Although Johnny has just transformed, after becoming a ghost rider, he and Johnny, who is a human, can be regarded as two people, and their personalities have changed faintly.

Therefore, in the face of old age and decrepitude, Carter Sleigh, who completely controls the power of the Evil Ghost Rider, does not have a comprehensive backwardness.

There was a back and forth.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Seeing the current situation, David raised his eyebrows slightly: "Old man, you have disappointed me a little." ”

"Humph!"

Carter Slay snorted coldly, understanding that David was mocking himself, he didn't care on the surface, but he was actually ruthless.

The flames on his body were like a pot of hot oil.

Rumble!

The terrifying heat is like the sun, swept away like a tide, and the rolling heat wave is coming.

If it were an ordinary person who was around, they would be highly scalded on the spot.

However, the only two people in the vicinity were David and Mephisto.

Mephisto needless to say, is just a doppelganger projection, and it doesn't change color.

And David's strengthened body, despite the blazing red light reflected in front of him, did not pay attention to the aftermath.

Of the few people present, only Johnny's face changed.

He realized how he was inferior to Carter Shray.

Carter Slay is a dying old guy who doesn't care how long he lives.

Johnny could clearly sense that Carter Shray's soul was burning violently.

The flame of the latter's body surface temperature soaring is a manifestation of the soul being ignited.

Although he has the same ability, compared to Carter Sleigh, it is still too much of a disadvantage.

Johnny didn't want to waste his life force and fight to the death with Carter Sleigh.

So he chose to put it off.

When Carter Sray burns out his soul and still can't win, the victory will naturally belong to him.

"Humph!"

Mephisto was furious, his eyes swelled with unwillingness, and he scolded: "Bastard thing! ”

"You've lost, Mephisto."

David looked away from the target and looked deeply at the famous Hell Lord, and there was no lack of joy in his words: "It seems that the person you chose is not very good. ”

With their eyesight, it is natural to see that Johnny is timid.

In a-for-tat battle, showing timidity undoubtedly means defeat.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

Johnny loses the courage to make a desperate bet and is about to face defeat.

Swish!

David raised his hand slightly, carving the magic runes.

This is the text that communicates hell, and it is also the basis for building a magic circle.

"David!"

Mephisto sensed the energy fluctuations and stared at the man in front of him: "Whatever you want, I can fulfill you - provided that you hand over the Saint Van Gonza Contract in your hand!" ”

"It's a pity that I signed a contract with your son!"

David shrugged his shoulders and gloated: "You have time to support your doppelganger who is about to collapse and bewitch me, it is better to withdraw this power as soon as possible and go back to your hell, lest your own son rebel." ”

“…… Very good. ”

Mephisto retracted his anger and said in a low tone: "I underestimated you. ”

"No, you don't."

David shook his head: "As the Lord of Hell, you chose to woo me in the first place, and there was nothing wrong with that. But if you were really sincere, you wouldn't threaten me with my mother. It's not that you're underestimating me, it's that you're not sincere. ”

If Mephisto really showed sincerity, David didn't mind some targeted cooperation with Mephisto.

The bottom line, of course, is that he won't help Mephisto conquer Earth.

David would not accept a Hell Lord parachuted over his head, and he saw Earth as his own.

But he will never stop Mephisto from harvesting souls on Earth.

Unfortunately, Mephisto was not only insincere, but also intended to use threats to get him into line.

This completely aroused David's rebellion.

Not only that, but he also has a deep hatred with David, and there is no room for negotiation.

"Yes, I didn't misread you."

Mephisto couldn't read people's hearts, but he could see what David's words meant, so he smiled, and a strange color appeared in his eyes: "You were born to be a demon...... I think sooner or later we will meet again. ”

He wasn't going to say anything more.

As the magic array in front of David condensed, the spatial passage was opened, and his body gradually became a lake.

David's choice of Mephisto is not surprising.

Johnny is doomed to defeat, Mephisto has no chance of turning the tables, and undoubtedly returns to hell, intending to stage a farce of cannibalism with his own son.

At the same time, David kept his promise and threw the spatial passage opened by the Saint Van Gonza Contract through the magic array to the Witchheart Demon who had returned to Hell.

When he threw out the St. Van Gonza contract, David waited for a moment and found that there was no system prompt, realizing that he had not passed the system task assessment, indicating that the card bug was not successful.

Although the reward for this mission, the Ghost Rider trait, is quite attractive, the mission is doomed to failure, and there is no regret to talk about it.

As the Lord of Hell, Mephisto, who is almost equal to the Supreme Mage Ancient One level, is indeed a super-standard opponent for his current self.

I can't force it.

Thinking about it from another angle, it has been more than a year and a half since the time travel, and this is the first time that a mission has failed.

Fortunately, there is no penalty for failing the mission, it just says that there is no reward, and it takes six months to refresh the identity.

After the identity is refreshed, he is a good man again.

David's mind turned.

Taking advantage of the gap of these six months in the middle, it is a good choice to have a good career.

Rumble!

Suddenly, Carter Shray and Johnny in front of him made a real fire.

Carter Shray was not afraid of death, burning his soul and burning the offensive with little life left, so that Johnny was defeated and had no power to fight back, and was pressed to the ground by the former.

The ground was pitted, and sparks were like fireflies all over the mountains, sprinkled all over the Grand Cemetery.

The sky was dyed red.

After Mephisto left, the dark clouds that had quietly dispersed, and the bright moon that crept into the spot, could not hide the half of the sky stained red by the flames.

The heat wave is blowing.

David's expression was calm, and he saw that the battle had entered the final stage.

Carter Slay wins!

Bang!

Johnny gets caught in the rope in Carter Slay's hand, and the latter's mount lunges at him, leaving no room for it, knocking him head-on.

His body flew into the air, and the huge impact caused him to involuntarily fly upside down, fall, and then plough the ground into a deep ravine, splashing dirt, and then crashing into the ruins of the collapsed cemetery hut, and he did not get up to fight back.

Carter Slay walked slowly towards Johnny, the flames gradually extinguished, revealing a face that was extremely old, with gray hair and beard, and a difference of nearly ten years from before.

The mount also returned to its original appearance, and its originally toned and strong body shrank slightly, slimming a circle, and its spirit appeared slightly sluggish.

Life is interconnected, and it and Carter Sleigh have come to the end of their lives.

Davy was expressionless, knowing that Carter Shray had shown mercy.

Although he made lethal moves during the fight, he had no intention of fighting Johnny from the beginning.

As a member of his kind, Carter Slay knew very well that as long as Mephisto existed, the legacy of Ghost Rider would not be severed.

The only thing he can do is to pass on his rebellious spirit from generation to generation.

In ruins.

Johnny, who was beaten back to his original appearance by Carter Shray and restored to his human appearance, opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the old man who came to the last stage of his life with him, his face was a little complicated.

Before he could speak, Carter Sleigh's voice came to his ears.

"Don't say anything, I know your story."

Carter Sleigh's hoarse and deep voice came out, instantly awakening Johnny's memory.

"Ghost Rider is a curse, and the spirit of vengeance in you will always be with you and will not leave until you die."

】

"There is a way to break the contract in this world, and your soul is subject to Mephisto, but that doesn't mean your will must obey Mephisto's will."

Carter Shray paused word for word: "Human, never surrender to demons, that will make you doomed, and your soul will never be reborn." ”

"I ......"

Johnny was silent, and was about to speak, when he shrank and saw Carter Slay close his eyes and stop breathing.

"Chirp-"

Carter Sleigh's mount let out a wail, fell to his knees, rubbed the latter's warm cheek, closed his eyes in obedience, and followed the old man.

“……”

Johnny was completely silent.

"Do you know what to do in the future?"

Suddenly.

Another voice reached my ears.

Johnny turned his head to see Davy, who had exited his batatized state and returned to his original appearance.

"You're—"

His heart raced, and he felt like he had been shocked more tonight than he had ever done in his life before.

"David Fisker, Chairman of Fisker Pharmaceuticals, Shareholder of The Macallan Group, and ......"

David said, pausing, emphasizing again: "The director of the Occult Investigation and Defense Bureau. ”

"The Macallan Group?"

Johnny took a deep breath and realized, "So the invitation I received was just a bait. ”

"It's just the right time to take the opportunity to do it."

David was noncommittal, answered the question sideways, and said: "Now Mephisto is in trouble, at least he won't show up for several years, you are much luckier than Old Man Carter, I hope you can grasp this luck." ”

"What should I do?"

Johnny looked up at the man in front of him, the long list of titles, what caught his attention the most was not the Macallan Group, this was actually information that everyone in the world knew, exposed, and could be gained after a little investigation.

What he cares about most is the last sentence of the title - the director of the Occult Investigation and Defense Bureau.

This name is immediately understandable, and it is closely related to what happened to him.

At the same time, wake up again.

David was handling the incident on behalf of the authorities.

"What are you going to do to me?"

Johnny asked in a low voice.

"Interested in joining us?"

David laughed: "We just lack a strong thug in our bureau right now. ”

"Of course, that won't stop you from breaking the contract. On the contrary, there are quite a few materials in the bureau that should help you. ”

After a pause, he said bluntly: "But you have to know that breaking the contract with Mephisto is equivalent to giving up the identity of Ghost Rider." In other words, from then on, you'll have to be a normal person – and maybe that's exactly what you want. ”

"I'm joining."

Johnny didn't hesitate, stared at David with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say it, I'll join you." ”

"Good."

David nodded, "As the head of the Occult Investigation Defense Agency, I welcome you on behalf of the BPRD, Johnny. ”
