Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

In an ordinary apartment in a slum area, rows of motorcycles of different shapes were parked haphazardly in the apartment building without security measures.

The man fell asleep among a pile of books on religion and mythology, and the whole room was filled with the atmosphere of occultism.

Tumbled whiskey bottles could be seen everywhere on the floor, half-eaten pizza lay cold on the old wooden floor, and the bright red sauce stained the taupe-brown floor like blood.

"Johnny, Johnny..."

Suddenly, a voice seemed to float from a distance, instantly waking up the man in the pile of books.

With a bang, the man kicked over the wine bottle at his feet, and the amber wine flowed all over the floor.

At this moment, the man woke up completely and hurriedly went to retrieve the overturned bottle. However, just as his hand was about to touch the bottle, a pair of finely crafted leather shoes appeared in his sight.

Looking up along the delicate lambskin, there is an old man with long silver hair wearing a well-tailored suit, holding an elegant black cane, looking down at him.

His pupils shrank, and the man exclaimed subconsciously, with a defensive expression on his face.

"It's you?"

"Long time no see Johnny, it's time to fulfill your promise, my knight." Mephisto smiled gracefully, slowly raised his hand, and touched the man's eyebrows.

The man's expression changed, and he subconsciously stepped back, but his body seemed to be petrified, frozen in place, and he could only watch helplessly as the old fingers touched his eyebrows.

boom!

The dazzling firelight illuminated this empty apartment in the slums, and the fire was reflected in the center of Mephisto's red pupils, making the smile on his face deepen.

Elsewhere, after successfully transforming the water demon and earth demon into Su Yan's power, Gu Chongyan and the two also arrived at the destination of their trip, a cemetery located on the outskirts of Sacramento.

Unlike New York City's uniform cemeteries, this cemetery resembles a mass grave, with graves moved from all over the area intricately located in the area.

The messy cemetery seems to have been abandoned for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there is a small church in the center of the cemetery with a faint trace of people, it would be an exaggeration to say that it has been abandoned.

"Brother Gu, the smell here makes me feel a little weird and uncomfortable." Su Yan couldn't help but said as soon as he set foot in the cemetery.

"Is there another demon?"

Gu Zhongyan frowned, "That shouldn't be the case. All the wind demons, water demons, and earth demons have been eliminated. Now is not the time for the Wuxin Demon to appear. Are there other demons in this area?"

Fortunately, Su Yan soon gave a negative answer.

He shook his head and said, "No, it's not that feeling. When being targeted by a demon, I just feel uncomfortable."

"But now, I feel like being under the sun in summer, hot and boring. That feeling seems to come from somewhere." As he said that, Su Yan pointed in the direction of the church.

Gu Zhongyan suddenly realized, yes, the church in this world is not a fake trick, heaven and angels are real.

In addition to ordinary church personnel like Father Langton, there are many clergy with supernatural powers.

The previous generation of Ghost Rider, Mr. Carter, relied on the power of the church to avoid Mephisto's sight.

Su Yan was originally half a demon, but now he has absorbed the power of three demons. He can be said to be the closest existence to a demon in the world. It is normal for the church's aura to restrain him.

However, judging from the fact that Su Yan only felt a little hot and did not feel any danger, this church was about to run out of power after sheltering Mr. Carter for more than 100 years.

When the power here is completely exhausted, Mephisto will be able to detect where he is, and that's when the Witch Heart Demon will be born.

"Hey, who are you? This is not a place for you to play. Get out of here."

At this time, an old and resolute voice suddenly came from not far away.

The two looked up and saw a thin, energetic old man walking over.

The other party was dressed like an old western cowboy, holding a shovel in his hand and wearing a somewhat worn-out cowboy hat. His eyes were darting back and forth like a hawk, as if he wanted to see through the two of them with a blade.

An ordinary person would probably not be able to speak clearly under such eyes.

But after all, Gu Zhongyan was someone who could chat and laugh with the director of SHIELD, and he would not be intimidated by the gaze of an old man.

Even if this old man is the Ghost Rider of the previous generation, it is the same.

Walking in front of the two of them, Carter Shirey narrowed his eyes, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said sharply: "You are not ordinary people, who are you?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhongyan took a step forward and nodded slightly.

"Hello Mr. Shi Lei, I am Sean Gu, and this is my brother Yan Su. We are here to seek something from you."

His pupils shrank, Carter's expression changed, he took a step back, and subconsciously clenched the shovel in his hand, as if he was on guard against something.

"Did Mephisto ask you to come?"

Although it was a question, Carter's cautious look clearly indicated that he had already determined this.

Gu Zhongyan quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. Mephisto and I have nothing to do with each other. I am a wizard and my adoptive father is a priest in the church, so you can completely believe that Mephisto and I are not the same. "

"The contract of St. Fangansa has extremely strong evil power. If it is not solved, it will attract the covetousness of hell."

"So I hope that you can hand it over to me. I promise that I will destroy the Saint Fangansa contract, purify the evil power in it, and let those more than 1000 souls rest in peace."

"Wizard, the adopted son of the priest?" Carter was stunned for a moment, quickly recovered, and shook his head vigorously.

"No, don't try to deceive me. Although I am old, I am not confused. I can clearly feel that there are traces of the devil on your bodies."

"You want to deceive me about the whereabouts of Saint Fangansa's contract? Delusion!"

Seeing Carter, who had a tough attitude and regarded the two of them as enemies, Gu Chongyan was speechless for a while, but had no way to argue.

After all, whether it was his magic power or Su Yan's power, it was said that they were inextricably linked to the devil.

Shaking his head, Gu Zhongyan said: "Mr. Shi Lei, you really misunderstood. I don't deny that we have dealt with the devil, but we and the devil are definitely not the same."

"As for the St. Fangansa contract, I really don't need you to tell me where it is."

"Here comes the shovel!"

As he spoke, Gu Zhongyan pointed at the shovel in Carter's hand and shook his wand.

Whoosh!

Carter only felt that his hand was empty, and the subway shovel he held tightly had flown into Gu Zhongyan's hand.
