Meiman's mutant necromancer

Chapter 229 Saint Van Gonza Contract
"Who are you, why did you bring me here?" Johnny stood up and stared at the old man vigilantly. He was sure that the reason why he came here unconsciously was the old man's fault.

"My name is Carter Sley, the night watchman of this cemetery. I didn't bring you here, but the mission you carried brought you here." The old man looked at Johnny with a smile.

"Mission? Will you be buried here alone all your life? Don't play tricks. I've seen a lot of guys like you. Either explain the matter clearly, or prepare to bear my anger." Flames began to appear on Johnny's face, and he Half of his face also changes between flesh and skeleton.

"Hey, don't be nervous, Ghost Rider, do you have the heart to attack an old man who is dying?"

"Yeah, if another old man appears in front of me, I'll punch him in the face." Ever since being tricked by Mephisto, Johnny doesn't have much affection for old men, especially It's the kind of old man who can get him from the bed to the cemetery without anyone noticing.

"It seems that you may have misunderstood the old man." Seeing that Johnny was about to become a full-body Ghost Rider, the old man Carter quickly waved his hand, "Well, no kidding, in fact, we are the same person. "

Boom, a flaming skull appeared in front of Johnny, he looked at Old Carter dumbfounded, "Are you also a Ghost Rider?"

"Yes, I'm your ex, I think, I also met the old man you want to beat up." Old Carter changed back into human form and smiled at Johnny.

"Sorry, Mr. Shirey, I'm a bit too sensitive about mysterious events, I think you can understand that Mephisto, that old liar who is full of lies, made us look like neither human nor ghost." Johnny He reached out his hand and shook hands with Old Carter. He still had a good impression of the other Ghost Rider, after all, they were all sympathetic people.

"It's nothing, but I'm surprised that you know something about Mephisto and Ghost Rider. Has anyone told you?"

"Yes, a powerful guy who can even defeat me." Johnny couldn't help curling his lips when he thought of Kane and the bone dragon he gave him. This guy's strength is unfathomable.

"Oh, I really want to meet him if I have the chance." Carter was also surprised when he heard that someone was able to defeat the Ghost Rider.

"By the way, Mr. Shi Lei, why did you bring me here?"

"Sorry, I called you because I need your help with a very difficult matter." Old Carter said seriously, "I saw your heroic figure over New York on TV, and only then did I know that there is another Ghost Rider exists, so I took the liberty to summon you."

"Do you know the legend of San Van Gonza?"

"No, never heard of it."

"That's the name of a small town, full of tranquility and peace, until one day, a man who was bewitched by the devil to become a ghost rider because of greed came to this small town, and everyone in the town suddenly changed, arrogant, Negative emotions such as jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, lust, and gluttony suddenly broke out among them. parchment, on which are written the names of all those who died in this catastrophe, a thousand."

Listening to Old Carter's narration, Johnny couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in his nightmare. It seemed that it was what happened in the town of San Van Gonzale, and he himself played the role of Old Carter. A feeling of powerlessness that he could empathize with made him sympathize with the old man.

"The man walked out of the town with the San Van Gonzal contract, and the devil Mephisto who bewitched him suddenly appeared in front of him and asked him for the contract. Only then did he know that the people in this town He created the scene of hell, but, for some reason, he couldn't go in and take back the contract himself."

"This man has never done many good things in his life, but at this moment he hesitated. Although he was greedy, he also knew the importance of the contract to the devil, so he ran away with the contract at the last moment, and has been hiding incognito ever since. Get up." Carter spread his hands, "Look, he seems to be hiding well, at least the devil has never found him."

"I think you may be thinking too much." Johnny poured cold water on the complacent old man. As Kane's friend, he is the one who knows the truth about Ghost Rider from Master Ancient One, "Murpheus The reason why Toto hasn't appeared in front of you is because he hasn't figured out how to cheat the contract from you, do you think you can just evade his pursuit?"

"Your Excellency the Supreme Mage told me that they have an agreement with the devil. The devil cannot directly obtain the soul from the human being, otherwise he will be in bad luck. I think the tragedy of the town of San Van Gonzale must be because he drilled some There are loopholes in the rules, but he dare not take away those souls in person, unless someone handed them over to him." According to what Master Gu Yi said, Johnny guessed the truth very closely.

"So, Mephisto already knew that I lived here in seclusion?" Old Carter wanted to cry a little. If this is the truth, then what's the point of him doing this for hundreds of years?
"Then I finally know how Black Heart found me." Carter sighed.

"Black heart? Who is that?"

"That's why I brought you here. Another devil named Blackheart is also looking for the Saint Van Gonzal contract. I just killed one of his subordinates. I think he will find here soon. I'm afraid I I couldn't protect the contract, so I summoned you, my fellow companion."

Johnny thought about it carefully, and felt that relying on him and Carter alone was not safe. After experiencing the Battle of New York, his world view had changed drastically. It's not a hero, the most important thing is to be able to successfully prevent the disaster from happening. Since you are going to face the devil, then calling that person has a greater chance of winning.

The town of Salem, Massachusetts, where the most notorious Salem witch trial in American history took place. In this witch trial, 19 people were hanged and 1 person was crushed to death by a pile of stones. Later, the hallucinogenic ergot toxin in the bread was cited as the reason for this case, but no one could answer why such a horrific event never happened in other parts of the world.

More than 300 years have passed, and the town has returned to normal. People have forgotten that dark moment. The witch trials even brought this town an extra income from tourism. Now the residents of the town feel that something happened here. There was nothing wrong with that case either.

Just in the evening of that day, a convoy quietly drove into the town and stopped next to the Salem Witch Museum, which used to be the court where the witches were tried. Several big men walked into the closed museum through the back door. Skillfully solved the only guard in the museum, and then waved to the convoy, several container trucks stopped at the back door one by one, and they carried the wriggling travel bags into the museum one by one, and the residents of the town enjoyed it at home After dinner, no one noticed this scene.
