Seeing that Johnny insisted on saving his girlfriend, the old man sighed, picked up the shovel beside him, and smashed the head of the shovel with a bang.
Only then did Johnny realize that the handle of the spade was hollow.
The old man who guarded the grave took out a thin scroll from it: "The contract of Saint Van Gonzale."
Johnny reached out to grab it.
The old man avoided his hand: "Can I trust you?"
Johnny was silent for a moment: "They took my soul, but they can't control my heart."
The old man laughed: "Anyone who has the courage to sell his soul for love has the power to change the world. Remember what you said!"
With that said, he handed the scroll to Johnny.
Jonny Results Scroll: "Uh, where's San Van Gonzale?"
The old man said, "It's about 200 kilometers to the southwest, we need to start quickly." He said and walked out of the cemetery.
Johnny picked up the scroll and followed the old man's footsteps: "Us?"
The old man walked on the road in front of the cemetery, put his fingers in his mouth, and whistled crisply.
Not far away, there was a sudden neighing sound from a horse, and the horse's hooves clattered on the ground, quickly approaching the two of them.
A steed covered in black suddenly came out of the misty night, ran briskly until the old man's face stopped, and rubbed his head affectionately against the old man.
The old man got on his horse and said, "I think I can ride it one last time."
While speaking, flames emerged from his head and spread downward.
A skeleton knight appeared in front of Johnny.
Johnny watched this scene in astonishment, and suddenly realized: "Katsley?"
The skeleton knight nodded slightly.
Luke wasn't too surprised.
Cartersley was the last Ghost Rider mentioned by the grave guard himself.
In order to prevent Mephisto from getting the contract of Saint Van Gonza with great power, Kattersley rebelled, fled with the contract and disappeared without a trace.
Well, from this point of view, none of the Ghost Riders that Mephisto found were very obedient.
But on the other hand, Ghost Rider also has the term "qualified".
If anyone could use the power of the Ghost Rider, Mephisto wouldn't have to be selective about who accepts this power.
As for those who have obtained this power, it is definitely not easy for Mephisto to control them.
Johnny looked at the horse suspiciously: "Can it keep up?"
Cartersley's skeleton grinned, as if laughing, and the flames on his body suddenly spread to the sitting black horse.
The otherwise unremarkable black horse had flames coming out of its four hooves and eyes, spouted sparks from its nostrils and mouth, pawed its hooves a few times, and tilted its head, as if despising Johnny's question.
Johnny: "...Okay, let's go." As he spoke, flames rose all over his body, turning into a ghost rider.
In the next moment, the sound of the rumbling engine was mixed with the sound of horseshoes, and the cars and horses galloped away.
Luke sighed: "You are playing with me."
Even if these two guys transform themselves, they can still use that kind of flame to change the nature of the mount, which is really cheating.
Regardless of whether it is a black horse or a retro motorcycle, after being possessed by the flames, it immediately becomes a super powerful means of transportation, with a speed exceeding 300 kilometers per hour in a short period of time.
And these two guys still headed west directly on the field, without taking the road at all.
It is difficult for a Triumph motorcycle to drive at this speed on the highway. Luke snorted, put away the motorcycle, released a small plane in the open space, and murmured: "I can't run, can't I fly?" .”
Above the night sky, one could see a line of fire and a string of flaming hoof prints on the ground from a distance, and he would not lose these two guys.
But looking at the two people galloping ahead, especially the extremely handsome skeleton horse, Luke was a little jealous, but he could only look at the carts and horses below and drool.
Secondly, although the transformation of Ghost Rider is too high-profile, it is really handsome and can conceal his identity.
After the Ghost Rider appeared, they were all skeletons, and it was not easy to see the shape of this thing.
When Luke was bored, he even reconstructed the face of Johnny's skull. It turned out that it wasn't Johnny himself, but another strange man's face.
Obviously, the skeleton body of Ghost Rider is not Johnny.
But Johnny completed his transformation in the detention room just now, and the role of hiding his identity is out of the question, so he lost such a good vest for nothing.
Ghost Rider, on the other hand, was transformed from an evil spirit bestowed by Mephisto.
Luke never thought of selling his soul.
Even if Mephisto was willing to sign a contract with him regardless of the past, Luke would not be able to sell his soul.
Before the boss was beaten back to hell by the system to play in the mud, he inadvertently mentioned that Luke's soul had already signed a contract with "human".
Thinking about it now, he should be referring to the system.
The same is true, the system that usually never takes the initiative will stop any attempt to invade its "territory" (refuse the link of spiritual energy), and even actively attacked Mephisto.
On the other hand, as long as the enemy doesn't tamper with Luke's soul and spirit, the system will have no reaction.
In this way, Luke, who was thinking about things in the air, followed the two ghost riders below and flew for more than 20 minutes, arriving at the ruins of the small town of San Van Gonzale.
Looking at the dark wreckage of the village not far away, the flames on Cartersley's body were extinguished, and he returned to his old appearance: "I'll send you here."
Johnny was a little taken aback: "You, won't you come with me?"
He also thought that Cartersley came here to help save people, how could it be over after running with him for a while
Cartersley said helplessly: "I'm too old, and the energy of Ghost Rider is almost exhausted. Sending you here is just to fulfill my wish."
Johnny: "What wish?"
Cartersley: "I want to be sure there are people who will continue to fight demons after I die."
He tossed a Winchester shotgun from his horse. "Go, boy."
Johnny took the gun, Cartersley pulled the reins, and the black horse let out a rhythmic sound, its front hooves flew into the air, it turned around, turned the horse's head, and walked tick-tock in the same direction.
One person and one horse quickly disappeared into the thick night.
Johnny was silent.
Cartersley was a Ghost Rider one hundred and fifty years ago, and he was able to survive until now, relying on the energy of the Ghost Rider to support his old body.
But this support is limited and not enough to make people live forever.
At this moment, Cartersley handed over the Saint Van Gonzale contract, which had been guarded for more than a hundred years, to Johnny.
This represents his only concern and responsibility, and it has also been handed over to Johnny, a new generation of ghost riders.
He has lived for nearly two hundred years, and he has nothing worth nostalgic for. Accompanying Johnny to run this last journey also means that the story of his former Ghost Rider has come to an end.
From now on, only Johnny, the new knight, will move forward alone.
After watching Cartersley disappear on a small slope, Johnny put away the melancholy that seemed to be nothing, and continued to advance towards the San Van Gonzale ruins.
