A Zanpakutō at the beginning of Meiman

"Wait...I have another question."

Johnny took a deep breath, and when he was about to ask why it was him, Carter Sley seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, and said directly: "When you signed the contract with Mephisto From that moment on, it is doomed to be unable to escape this nightmare!"

Mephisto...

This evil name is like a terrifying nightmare, haunting Johnny for more than ten years!

If he hadn't been bewitched to save his cancer-stricken father and signed the sinful contract with Mephisto, his father wouldn't have died in the car stunt.

And he will not feel deeply guilty about this incident in the following nights, and even deliberately challenge impossible stunts, just to find a way to die that can make him feel at ease.

"How...how did you know?" Johnny sat on the ground decadently, inserted his hands deeply into the roots of his hair, and buried his whole head in the bear, like an ostrich avoiding a storm.

"Because I, like you, signed a contract with Mephisto." Carter Sley couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he recalled the past.

"It turns out that you too... we were all deceived by Mephisto!" Johnny's eyes flashed with astonishment. He didn't expect the old man in front of him to have a similar experience to him. He suddenly felt that Carter It has become a lot more friendly.

Carter Sley sighed again, the creases on his face were squeezed together: "There is no need to be touched, because we will soon... have a big trouble, if we can't solve it, the whole The world will be swallowed by demons."

Johnny's eyes twitched, and he said, "Sorry, are you talking about the plot of a Hollywood movie?"

"The man who attacked you last night, I smelled an extremely strong breath of hell from him." Carter Sley's eyes showed a hint of palpitations, and he said in a deep voice: "Just looking directly into his eyes makes me feel I felt the trembling in the depths of my soul, this feeling of being obliterated at any time, I only felt it in Mephisto."

"So...why did he attack me?" Johnny swallowed. Although he didn't know how strong Mephisto was, the scene where he was brutalized by that man yesterday and had no power to fight back is still vivid. It's vivid!

"If my guess is correct...he should have come for the contract of Saint Van Gonzale!" Carter Sley subconsciously glanced at a dilapidated tombstone, but quickly retracted it, and Johnny didn't pay attention.

"Saint Vaganza contract?" Johnny frowned slightly, and his intuition told him that this thing is very important: "It sounds very powerful, but I have never seen it, why did that man come to me?"

"Because this is... the fate of the Ghost Rider!" Carter Sley said in a deep voice, "It is the duty of every evil spirit to protect the contract of St. The fate of the Spirit Knight."

goo-dong...

Perhaps infected by Carter's solemn and solemn expression, Johnny puffed up his chest unconsciously, and asked nervously, "What is the contract of Saint Van Gonzal?"

"key!"

Carter Sley looked very serious, and said: "This is the one that Mephisto spent hundreds of years turning a holy place that believed in God into purgatory, sealing the souls of [-] fallen saints. Take the magic weapon!"

"Once the St. Van Gonzal contract is obtained by Mephisto or other powerful demons, the entrance to the world of hell will be opened, and countless demons will flood into the world, turning the whole world into another hell!"

Johnny: "..."

Carter waited for a long time without responding, frowned and said, "Are you okay?"

"...Can I give up?" Johnny asked, wanting to cry without tears. The shock of this news was no less than a thunderbolt directly hitting his forehead. He was obviously just a car stuntman, why did he suddenly Are you going to be the hero who saves the world?

"Of course, as long as you are willing to watch your loved ones fall into hell and be tortured forever." Carter Sley sneered, and said indifferently: "Anyway, I'm about to die, and I'll live long ago Enough is enough, and there is no one worthy of my concern."

"..."

The corner of Johnny's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

Carter Sley gave him a disappointed look, stood up while leaning on the handrail, and walked towards the church with a shovel in his hand: "You still have a chance to regret it now, the car is outside the cemetery, come inside the church when you think it over. I will teach you how to control the evil spirits within you."

Johnny sat alone in the cemetery, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Looking at the desolate and dilapidated scenery around, countless messy thoughts emerged in his mind, like tangled threads, which made Johnny feel a little confused, not knowing how to choose!

...

...

...

As time passed, the bright moon rose from the sky.

Johnny sat quietly for a whole day unknowingly, the messy thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated, replaced by a magnetic man's voice, resounding from the bottom of his heart!

"Johnny, don't let your fear hold you back!"

"If you don't control fate, then you will be led by fate."

Dominate your fate, not be ruled by it!

This is what his father told him before his death!

And these words are like a bright light in the dark night, instantly illuminating the shadow in Johnny's heart and guiding him to a great way!

"That's right, I can't always live in the shadow of the past, let alone be bound by fear!" The light in Johnny's eyes became brighter, the decadent aura was swept away, and the whole person exuded a vigorous breath like a newborn : "I want to control my own destiny, whether it is Mephisto or the devil from hell, don't even try to take away my love!"

Johnny took big strides, pushed the door open and walked into the church, cast his eyes on the old man sitting under the window, and said word by word: "I have decided, I will become a ghost knight, protect the contract of St. Lovers and the world!"

"congratulations."

A smile appeared on Carter Sley's gloomy face, his eyes showed a trace of relief, and he said, "You, who are desperate, finally have a chance to resist the fate of that shit!"

"Thank you." Johnny shrugged and said, "Aren't you going to teach me how to control the transformation? I want to start with that step first? It's better to be simpler and faster."

"It's easy, you just have to stand still."

A strange smile appeared on Carter Sley's face, and he dragged him on the ground with a shovel and walked slowly towards Johnny.

"Wait...what do you want to do?" Johnny showed a look of panic on his face, subconsciously backing against the door.

"Don't be afraid, help you transform, don't you want the fastest and easiest way?" Carter Sley said with a smile, holding the heavy shovel tightly in both hands.

Then......

Before Johnny could react, Carter swung a heavy shovel and slapped him on the forehead!

Boom! ! !

The shovel almost smashed Johnny's head, and then the fire of hell spewed out uncontrollably!

The next moment, Ghost Rider appeared.

"This is the way you said?!" Johnny, who had turned into a ghost rider, touched the burning skull's head and shouted with lingering fear: "Damn it, do you know that I was almost killed by a shovel? What if What if I didn't transform?"

when~

"It's you who asked for the fastest and simplest method. Isn't my method fast enough?" Carter leaned on a shovel in one hand, and said calmly: "And you can't have an accident. The fire of hell can repair all injuries."

Facts have proved that trying to take shortcuts is generally not good.

Johnny, who was wronged, was furious, and raised a middle finger: "FuckYou!"
