Cyber and Johnny are sitting on the chairs of this tomb-keeper ’s cabin. The furnishings in this room are full of the taste of the last century. This is the residence of a long-lived person who has lived for more than 200 years. The sculptures and collectibles of special meaning were wiped cleanly and placed on the shelf, next to a pile of flour and food ordered from the supermarket a few days ago, and in front of the holy angel statue, an old ore was placed Radio, Cyber vaguely remember, old man seems to have the same one.

If you are a literary enough person, you may still experience a sense of chaos that intersperses with time, as if time has stopped moving forward here.

The Cyber's problem made Carter Slade silent for a moment. He reached out and took out a very modern pipe from the cabinet next to it. He used a fine iron ring to wrap it up around the mouthpiece. He took some shredded tobacco. While compacting, eyes flashed with memories, and looked like an old guy immersed in the past.

"When do you start speaking?"

Carter leaned on the chair. At this moment, the old man's eccentric, lonely emotions all disappeared, replaced by a calm and indifference. He compacted the pipe in his hand and sucked it up by his mouth. The spicy smoke floated, and in the smoke, Carter began to tell his story.

"237 years ago, I was a Texas Mounted Police. I am the best hunter in this area. No one can escape my pursuit. What would it be called here? St. Austin? Ah, I forgot In short, I am one of the best guys on patrol. It took only 4 years to become a sergeant, and this desert has completely become my hunting ground. "

Carter's eyes quickly became uncomfortable, "But those guys are jealous of my credit, they told me to the superiors, saying that I am corrupt, okay, I did get some not Yi Caicai, but that ’s my gain, is n’t it? In short, they put me in jail, intending to execute me, and then go to divide my treasure, they almost succeeded ... really! "

He stretched out his little finger and gestured dismissively, "It's just a little worse ... Then on the night before my death, a weirdo appeared in the prison, and I knew him by looking at his face It ’s a bad kind, downright, but he told me that he can save my life at the cost of my soul, which is ridiculous ... "

Carter coughed a little,

"Then we will still use the contract, so when he asked to sign a contract, I didn't think about it at all, I thought it was just a boring joke, because I didn't trust him at all! But it was just when my fingers touched At the time of the contract, the sharp knife cut my skin, and blood dripped on the parchment of the contract. I can still remember the flash of light that flashed out of the window at that time ... I saw his shadow, the devil 'S shadow! "

There was a trace of fatigue on Carter Slade's face, he rubbed his forehead,

"Then everyone forgot ... I forgot what I was sentenced to, and I took this opportunity to kill the guys who framed me one by one, and then began to be my sergeant, I thought Everything just passed, until 5 years later, a rainy night, he came again, he told me that he needs me ... "

"You know, it's actually good to serve the devil."

Carter Slade suddenly lowered his voice and talked about the less positive grotesque in this sacred place. He smiled, like a night owl, "They are generous, the devil and their **** are as long as the soul, in After killing the guys whom he named to kill me, the money of those guys belongs to me, God, that crazy time, let me think about it, 30 years, at least 30 years, it is my life The happiest time. "

"Unending money! Women who ca n’t finish playing, never wipe clean blood ..."

Carter took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly, leaning on the chair, "until my last mission ... I will never forget that place, San Venganza Town, where I was born is not Far away, I know that place, it is a group of very friendly and kind people, they live like a peasant in the era, but they live in poverty and happiness, and a group of sheep in their village is their most valuable wealth. , Their poor clang. "

The old man pursed his lips,

"But the ale is great. Of course, the food tastes terrible. I would n’t go to a place without oil and water. But this time, I had to go. Mephisto told me that he signed a contract with the people there. Contract, he asked me to accept the contract. I did n’t think much at that time. I rode my beloved horse "Kal Potter" and went to the ghost place. Then I saw ... hell. "

"You can never imagine what I saw that night, those kind people are like crazy, even women with no chicken power carry a knife and slash everybody around them crazy People, children were thrown into the fire and burned to death, a third of them died in poisoned water, hell, when I arrived, the killing had already reached the end ... No one survived! I Looking at the burning village, the last two people, a woman, an old man, like Beast, desperately want to stab the knife in each other's heart, but they are father and daughter ... God! "

Speaking of this, Carter Slade's's hands tremble slightly, even after more than 200 years, the **** scene he saw that night never left him, he murmured,

"I want to save the next one, really ... I really want to save the next one, it's too bad, but no, the father bit off the ear of the daughter, the daughter digs up the father's heart, nobody Surviving, I was close to the town that had been completely destroyed. In the blazing fire in the center of the town, I saw the scroll written in blood, Mephisto's conspiracy. "

"He tricked them into saying that as long as they sacrificed 3 voluntary souls, they could bring eternal life to all the people in the town. Is it a funny reason, right? But in that era, everyone was superstitious, plus Mephisto They showed the power, and they did it. As a result, they got nothing. Only the contract sealed their tortured soul in the area of ​​San Venganza town. Unless someone undoes this contract, they will live forever. Can't leave! "

"I got that contract ..."

Carter Slade said softly, "I got it effortlessly, but I do n’t know, should I give him the blood-filled contract, I did n’t know what he wanted to do, then I only You know, I just thought that the things in my hand were so disgusting. You call it conscience discovery or you suddenly wake up. In short, when I saw Mephisto with a smile on my face, I first Once I felt that the smile was so disgusting! So disgusting! "

"The Spirit of Vengeance gave me the power to resist ... I resisted, and I fled with the contract."

The old man leaned on the chair and gently relieved his breath, "That was probably the only thing that I did right in my life, and then the Carter Slade, which was so entangled, died, and only one survived with a secret lingering breath. The old man ... How many secrets must a person go through to spend a lifetime? This is really a good question, you know? I ’m actually waiting for you. "

"Why?"

Johnny could n’t help asking, but Cyber asked another question at the same time,

"What does he want to do with that contract?"

Two people with very different personalities asked very different questions. Carter Slade smiled, he first looked at Cyber, he whispered,

"Where did you see Mephisto?"

"Cross-Border Bar, a rotten place!"

Cyber spread his hands and said, "That place is not far from here, I'm curious, how could the devil let you live for more than 200 years?"

"It's easy, because I'm" dead! "

Carter Slade held the pipe in his hand and swallowed the clouds and said, "I sent most of the fires of **** back to hell, creating the illusion that I would die, As for those who did n’t go back, they used to support my drooping old body, plus the sanctuary of Saint Michael, he could n’t find me ... but you went to the cross-border bar, did you not find his world Do people outside have to pay a price to enter our world? "

Cyber remembered the bartender who shot his head in the bar, he nodded,

"It is said that a soul can open the hell's door?"

“That ’s a sacrifice, summon a consciousness of Mephisto to the sacrifice of the world, are n’t you curious about what the San Venganza contract is for? Let me tell you, it ’s also a sacrifice ... in thousands The human soul, the entity that summoned the Great Demon came to this world, tore open the world barrier, and then established a human **** in San Venganza ... the best part is that the people there are voluntary contracts with the devil, even if they are Supreme Master , And ca n’t stop this from happening ... Yes, the cunning old dog got a chance! "

The old man smiled lowly and proudly, like an old cat stealing a fish,

"But all this was destroyed by me, Hahaha, I really want to see the depressed old face of Mephisto."

After finishing, he turned his eyes to Johnny again,

“That ’s why I ’m looking forward to your arrival ... I ’m dying, the remnants of the hellfire are almost consumed, I ca n’t stand it anymore, I have been waiting for the next generation of knights to appear, I I thought I needed my old life to wake up the spirit of revenge hidden in your body, but fortunately, I do n’t seem to have to make such a big sacrifice. "

He stood up, picked up the shovel that seemed inconspicuous in the corner, and hit the wall fiercely, "bang", the shovel split from the center, revealing the quaint, red line in it Reel, Carter took it out, put it in front of his eyes, shook his head, and threw it to Johnny.

"Then take over my responsibility and mission for more than 200 years, protect it!"

Carter Slade whispered, "Use everything you have to protect it! I know that this time it was Blackheart, the most ineffective one of the sons of Mephisto who ran out of bounds. The scene where he was beaten by the Supreme Master was clear Clearly, without violating the Supreme Master ’s precepts and using power beyond this world, the two of you are absolutely enough to deal with Blackheart, to kill him! So that the proud little miscellaneous know that this place is not for him. As for Mephisto, he is not a problem. "

The old man coughed twice,

"He appears to be like the power that appears in this world. It is not as good as Blackheart. If he dares to come with entities, the Supreme Master will make him look good."

"Hey, Johnny, let me see it!"

Cyber suddenly said, Johnny felt a little bit nodded, no doubt he handed out the reel in his hand, Cyber took it in his hand, he put the reel in front of his eyes,

"Oh, look, this little thing can actually create a real **** in the world ... how scary."

He was emotional, and then naturally put the scroll into his pocket, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, and a smile smiled on his face,

"So, thank you, Carter Slade, and you, Johnny ... I thought it was hard to find this thing."

"Cyber, you!"

Johnny felt something wrong, but the black shadow flashed in front of him in human form, Cyber's hit his neck with a punch, Johnny shook his body, fell to the ground on his back, Cyber did n’t look at the fallen Johnny, He reached out and heard a clicking sound. He turned his head and saw Carter Slade holding a black, exquisite old-fashioned rifle, and the dark muzzle was aimed at his heart.

"What the **** are you doing?"

Carter Slade is almost crazy. He seems excited to pull the trigger at any time, but Cyber pulls down the brim and smiles in the corner of his mouth,

"Do n’t be amused, old man, Ghost Rider ca n’t be changed during the day ... is it?"

"You ... how do you know?"

"I have met Johnny head-on ..."

Cyber raised his head, and his eyes had become extremely indifferent. "I barely dismantled his bones into more than 300 pieces. I saw with my own eyes that the flame on his body extinguished when the first ray of sunlight rose ... . "

He moved forward and pressed his chest against the muzzle. He reached out and patted on the shoulder of Carter Slade,

"You are old, pay attention to your body ... take a good rest while the rest of the time, no one will blame you."

The old man glared fiercely at Cyber. as if wants to completely shred him and eat it,

"Why?"

Facing this question, Cyber shrugged, "I am dying, only this thing can save my life ... is this answer enough?"

"But the world will become **** !!!"

"Hehe ... what does that have to do with me?"

Carter Slade's turned pale. At the same time, in a remote Manhattan, a house full of debris, the house was full of smoke, a man and a woman rolled on the bed in a very intimate manner, It seemed to be strong, but just as they were preparing to go further, the man was suddenly pulled from the bed by a force, and a yellowish, sparkling portal appeared behind him, he was hardened Throw it live.

"Help me do something ... John!"

The man is struggling, he looks at the scared beauty on the bed, he smiles at her,

"Hi, baby, wait for me, I will be back at most 1 day, and then continue our ..."

"Om"

Before he finished speaking, he was swallowed by the closed portal,

"No! Damn you old lady ..."
