"Wow! This wine is so powerful!"

In the wide back seat of the off-road vehicle, the Johnny drunkenly panicked the bottle, just like a drunk man, with an exaggerated expression, laughing at Cyber haha. It can be seen that this guy must not have the usual habit of drinking, just A small bottle of wine put him in a state of drunken joy.

After poking away the disguise, this guy no longer felt like he was refusing to be thousands of miles away. He and Cyber smoked and drank alcohol, and answered several questions about professional drivers from Selina from time to time, plus The wild music of the truck radio station opened by Selina is almost full of joy in the second half of this journey.

But behind this joy is the painful past of the Johnny Blaze family.

His story is not complicated. When Johnny was a child, when he was 15 years old, 10 years ago, he and his father, Barton Blaze, also a death car mechanic, performed father and son car skills at a large circus near Austin. He was widely praised in the local area. He was not a good man since he was a child, but he was definitely not embarrassed. Until he was 15, God made a joke with his father.

Lung cancer was a horrible term 10 years ago. Johnny discovered all of this. He could n’t believe that the rude speaker was always devoted to acrobatics. The healthy old man like a horse was like that. To leave him easily, the young Johnny was surrounded by an unspeakable fear, and on that night, a stranger visited him.

It ’s Mephisto. This guy has inherited the temperament that a devil deserves. He easily moved Johnny and signed a strange contract with him. He promised Johnny that he will get a healthy father. The next day, Johnny did see that his father had completely recovered his 30-year-old's incredible health. He set out to plan his elopement plan with his first love girl, and the result was that the moment Johnny left the circus ... Barton Blaze had an accident.

It ’s an acrobatics with almost no difficulty. Cycling across the fire circle, any junior driver can be competent, but Barton, who is known as the best driver, fell in this link. When Johnny rushed into the hospital At that time, I saw the father's cold, charred body.

He got what he expected, a healthy family member, but after less than 30 minutes, he lost him again ... Mephisto did what he promised, but he used a memorable way to bring The only relative of Johnny is gone ... and his love. In the cold wind and rain of Austin, Johnny left his hometown alone in the car left by his father. He was alone.

From the age of 15, Johnny learned one thing, he wants to protect those he is willing to protect, but he has to use another way ... that is far away from them because of his appearance, It will only bring doom and death.

"I have been looking forward to the second chance ..."

Drunken Johnny is holding Cyber's on the shoulder, thinking it ’s like a dream, "Everyone deserves a second chance. I know I ca n’t live in fear, but when I left my hometown at the age of 15, I tried turned every time. You can see him ... he told me that he will appear again, at that time, he will fulfill his promise, he will take away what he needs ... my soul ... I know, It all started with me. If I did n’t sign that contract, my father would ... "

"He will die as well ..."

Cyber turned Johnny ’s face with one hand and looked directly into his eyes, “If you do n’t sign that contract, your father will die like that, and he will even lie in a bed of pain, despair day by day. Waiting for the last moment to come, you at least let him die on what he likes to do. This is kindness, as for your fear ... meaningless! "

"Johnny, all your fears, you have lived in fear for 10 years, and repeatedly tried various deadly car skills, what do you want to prove?"

"Do you want to prove that he has forgotten you? Do you want to escape this way?"

Cyber put his finger, he leaned on the chair,

"No wonder you were broken your skull and spine and survived unharmed. His power is always around you. He wants to make sure that his" investment "is profitable. He wants to make sure that you can become what he wants. The kind of person you want ... you do n’t realize the nature of the problem at all. Are you sure that everything you want to do now is from your heart, or is it just a means of showing his strength to you ... . "

Cyber put his finger in front of Johnny, "It seems to me that you are almost overwhelmed by him. You tell yourself that you cannot live in fear, but every time you say this, it means that you are Failing to escape from fear, every time it is mentioned, it is an activation of fear. If you continue this way, you will be overwhelmed by yourself without him coming to you. "

"You don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't like everything young people like ... you tell me, is this normal?"

Cyber has a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "As far as I know, Mephisto does n’t like cigarettes and alcohol, I think you are slowly becoming him ... do you understand what I mean? ? "

It is impossible for a drunk person to think spiritually, but Johnny is not an ordinary person. Like Cyber, he sleeps in the body with the power from the big devil. Cyber said what he said, he listened to it literally It ’s in my ears, and I feel more and more what Cyber said makes sense,

Is he unwilling to touch all that, or are some other forces affecting him?

Johnny sat there thinking for a few minutes, then grabbed the phone beside him,

"Hey, Mike, my brother, you have a Party tonight, right?"

The phone seemed very noisy. Mike, the deputy captain of the Johnny team, and one of his only friends, said loudly to the phone, "***.! You are usually not interested in these things at all, how? ? Do you want to play too? "

Johnny shrugged, he asked aloud,

"Are there cigarettes, alcohol, and beauties? Are there any things that young people should be interested in?"

"Wow! Our ***. come alive!"

Mike said happily, "The best enjoyment, the best beauties, East of Houston, do I need someone to pick you up?"

Johnny reported an address, hung up the phone, he took a breath, looked at Cyber, he reached out and grabbed his hair,

"You're right, I think I should occasionally ... relax, that kind of ten-year-long pressure, really, it's about to crush me."

"It ’s a shame to fall before the danger really comes. The soldiers should eat the best, drink the best, play the best, and then grab the weapons and bravely go to the battlefield. It is brave to die on the battlefield. The best destination for you ... you will be a good soldier, Johnny, I look forward to seeing you and Mephisto again. "

Cyber waved at Selina,

"Put down Johnny at the next street and we should go home."

"Goodbye, Cyber!"

Johnny stood outside the car and waved towards Cyber and Selina, "3Frigg performance, welcome you, I can arrange the best seat for you!"

Selina screamed in surprise, and then watched Johnny push the car into the alley next to it, Cyber shook the car glass up, and under the sunglasses, two flickering flames flickered, I don't know what to think about.

"Selina, help me contact Katherine, let the little girl send a few people over, I want the kind of guy who can find someone to fight ... Don't let Katherine come, she still has to study in Gotham!"

Cyber closed his eyes, he stretched his hands and rubbed his nose, his face was tired, he said to Selina sitting beside him,

"If she is noisy, tell her that this is old man's requirement. She has to finish high school and college to go to the bar and let Lewis and Robin watch her closely. This time we have to face the power of a little trouble , Don't let the brash little girl get involved. "

The next morning, Cyber and Yuriko led the ruins of the small town named San Venganza at Selina's, which is far away from the cross-border bar, almost in the two extreme directions of a desert, its The name is hard to make people think of the San Venganza contract. The most important thing is that Cyber wants to get some clues from there.

"You said that there is now a tourist attraction?"

Yuriko looked blankly at the Texas travel map in his hand and turned his head to look at the driving Selina. "But Master Cyber said it is dangerous! How can it be a tourist attraction?"

This name makes Selina and Cyber have both acid, and the latter waved their hands,

"Yuriko, you can call me Cyber, or call me Hawk, can you call me an adult? This sounds weird."

"This is a respectable title!"

Yuriko stubbornly replied, "Whether it is strength or experience, you are qualified to assume this title. You must know that in ancient Japan, there were forces like Devil Gang, which can already match some small names. This name Absolutely appropriate! "

Looking at the seriousness on her face, Cyber sighed and stopped it no longer. The father of Yuriko, the crazy scientist used traditional education for his daughter. This kind of thing is hard to reverse. .

Since you ca n’t change it, then learn to enjoy it. Frankly speaking, being called “adult” by such a beautiful girl is actually a very cool and peculiar experience.

"That place is indeed a tourist attraction, where the ruined houses and buildings retain the western style of two centuries ago, and many people will travel there."

Selina looks at Cyber with rearview mirror while driving, and every time Cyber's turns her eyes, she will stare back fiercely. Yuriko does n’t know Cyber ’s “inferior” ability.

"Then about San Venganza, is there any legend about the devil?"

Cyber discovered the movement of Miss Thief, so he closed his eyes, wearing sunglasses, and pulled down the brim, facing the Cyber, who was finally "honest", Selina snorted with satisfaction, and then began to say that he was last time News I got while traveling,

"There are a lot of myths and stories spread in the western part of the country, and it is unclear whether they are true or false, but if it is in the San Venganza area, there are two most famous stories that almost everyone knows. One is the demon in the wheat field. It is said that every 30 years of the summer harvest season, the demon will hide in the wheat field, and those poor people who are selected will be killed by him until the blood flowing out is enough for three buckets, enough to cover a third of a field of wheat. When it is one, it will close and return to the Devil Realm. "

Selina told the story in a pretentious and horrible tone. After she finished speaking, she looked at the expressions of Yuriko and Cyber's. The former was full of enthusiasm and the latter did not respond, which made Selina feel a strange sense of frustration. , So she went on to tell the second story.

"The legend of the devil in the wheat field is mainly popular on the edge of the desert. Another legend is about Ghost Rider's, which is said to be a knight. In fact, it is more like a bounty hunter. This is great. The places I traveled in recent years, as long as it is Near the western region, there are almost all these legends, and each place is different. The protagonist of Ghost Rider's in San Venganza is a Texas Mounted Policeman called Carter Slade. Well, it ’s an old bone 230 years ago. "

"Oh?"

Cyber was intrigued. He tapped the Selina's seat with a large cane in his hand,

"There is also the protagonist of such a clear story, come and talk about this Carter Slade."

Selina glared at him, then sniffed and whispered,

"I also heard this story from the tour guide. It is said that Carter Slade is one of the most famous riding police in the history of Texas. They were active in the last scenes of the Western era. He is a very upright and brave man. In the area he patrolled, the horse thieves and criminals all fled the wind. It is said that the bullets shot by Carter can accurately blow off the head of a guy at a distance of 500 meters. At that time, there was no criminal gang in the west that was not afraid of him, but this guy There is a problem, it is too greedy. "

Selina twisted the steering wheel and drove the car into a remote desert road. She continued to tell the story of Ghost Rider's,

"Carter's greed for money and power caused him trouble. It seems that when he was 35 years old, he was sent to prison for corruption. While waiting for death, Carter encountered a mystery The guy, he signed a contract with him, the crime of greedy Carter was forgotten by everyone, he became the brave and upright mounted policeman, chasing the criminal during the day, and at night, it will become a burning knight, Chase down those monsters and ghosts who sneaked into the world. "

"But the old problem of Carter was committed again. During a hunt, he took away something that should belong to the devil, which caused more trouble. He was killed by the devil, but he took it away. The thing is missing, the devil is said to have been looking for it! "

Speaking of this, Selina's's voice was a little trembling. When I heard this story before, Miss Thief only thought it was nonsense, but after really seeing Mephisto, Selina suddenly realized ... this story , Most likely ...

"Really!"

Cyber looked at the village outside the window, his eyes moved slightly,

"This story is true. It was the San Venganza contract that was taken away by Carter Slade! Selina, Yuriko ... You go to the neighborhood to ask, any news about Carter Slade is summarized to me ... we finally have A clear goal. "
