The next day.
In the spacious living room, Colin sat leisurely on the sofa, looking through the intelligence reported by the Blacks family.
Du Lu stood respectfully not far from Colin, serving him with his head lowered.
"good."
Colin praised after reading the documents in his hand.
However, within one day, he had investigated all the information he wanted, and some details that he did not mention were also investigated and summarized in detail in this intelligence.
Although he had anticipated the results of the investigation when he watched Du Lu give detailed orders under the surveillance of the skeleton warriors, he was still more satisfied than expected when he actually saw the answer sheet.
He even now actually had the idea of conquering this man and making him do things for him.
"May I ask Master Black Mage, what should we do next?"
The praise did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Du Lu, and he asked respectfully as usual.
Colin glanced at him, secretly saying it was a pity, and said seriously: "Gather some gunmen, and have your people accompany me to the cemetery where the target is located. The rest of you just need to keep an eye out for various strange events."
He went through so much trouble just for the information in his hand. By now, it can be said that the help this gang has brought to him has been almost complete.
Thinking about this, Colin stood up from the sofa and chuckled at Du Lu, "If everything goes well, I think it won't be long before I leave, and you will still be the gangster boss of this area."
After hearing this, Du Lu's expression changed slightly, revealing a faint smile, and congratulated Colin: "Then I wish Master Black Mage all the best."
"Oh, I appreciate your words."
With a smile on his face, he walked to the door and turned around to ask, "Dru Blacks, are you interested in actually helping me?"
There was no response for a long time behind him. Colin sneered, pushed the door open and walked out.
Outside the villa.
A black van was parked at the door, and six fully armed gunmen stood beside the car. The leader was Hogan, with whom he had some interaction before.
Colin looked at these muscular and imposing guys, nodded, and ordered, "Let's go!"
The gunmen rushed into the car after hearing the order, but from their constant checking of their guns, it could be seen that most of them were afraid.
"mob."
Colin shook his head in his heart.
After seeing the performance of Drew and Hogan, he had higher than normal expectations for this team.
But now it seems that exceptions are exceptions and minions are always minions.
As time passed, the journey was gradually halfway through.
Inside the car, as the destination got closer, the gunmen's panic grew and they began to become slightly agitated.
After Hogan saw it, he frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Colin, "Master Black Mage, why are we going there this time?"
With the Black Mage himself in charge, perhaps it wouldn't be a big deal to let this panic continue.
But as a qualified leader, he believes it is necessary to stop this situation from spreading further.
Colin, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed thinking about magic, did not open his eyes after hearing this. He said casually, "He has something I want. What you have to do is to snatch that thing from me."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became quiet, and then in an instant, it became more agitated.
The gunmen on this trip had all fought with Colin before, and they had all witnessed with their own eyes how this guy, who looked like a human but was actually a demon, turned a living person into a moving skeleton in just a few moments.
And now this demon wants to steal something but doesn't dare to go there himself, so how terrifying will the target of the robbery be
Can these robbers survive
Fear is contagious. Seeing the situation getting worse, Hogan couldn't help but regret asking the question. However, if he gave up at this time, he would just keep guessing in his heart, fall into fear and even collapse.
It’s better to ask clearly.
Even if there is a great danger, since we know where the danger comes from, even if it is hard to accept at first, we will gradually calm down as time goes by.
"Can you tell me in detail, Lord Black Wizard?" he asked, thinking so in his heart.
Colin opened his eyes somewhat unhappily when he heard the question again, but when he saw the strange atmosphere in the car, he understood instantly.
"Don't worry, his power can only be used at night, and I'm here with you. If there's any danger, I'll take action. Why are you worrying here?"
Colin spoke to everyone in a disdainful and contemptuous tone.
After hearing this, no one in the car was angry at being looked down upon. On the contrary, including Hogan, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Colin took a look, told the driver to drive faster, and closed his eyes again.
After seeing Colin's reaction, everyone in the car felt relieved and began to wonder if they were overthinking.
"Naive guy!"
Looking at the majority of people who relaxed because of this, Colin closed his eyes with a hint of sarcasm.
Is this trip dangerous
Of course there is! And it’s huge!
He is now ready to open the portal and escape to the New York Temple at any time!
You know, what he wants to seize now is the Saint Vanganza Contract! It is the key prop in the unknown plan of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
Although Mephisto didn't know where the contract was in the original plot of the movie, who knows whether this news is true or false
In short, he is now taking a huge risk of dying and even losing his soul to Mephisto's hands to make a crazy gamble on whether it will allow him to rise to the top overnight!
If you win, the road ahead will be much easier, and the difficulty of conquering the world will be reduced from the abyss to hell. If you lose, you may be unable to live or die...
Anyway, he didn't believe that the demon king would easily get rid of him after obtaining his alien soul.
"Huh... calm down!"
He secretly calmed down the blood that was excited by this life-and-death gamble.
In order to meet the biggest opportunity and challenge since he traveled through time, he must calm himself down and not make any mistakes.
laugh…
The sound of brakes rang out, and the inertia caused by the vehicle stopping caused the people in the car to surge forward.
Colin opened the car door and got out. He glanced at the cemeteries and focused his attention on a wooden house in the corner of the cemetery.
"Right there?"
Colin looked around and said that he smelled a very faint smell of sulfur in that direction.
"Yes, do we want to start now?" Hogan asked after getting out of the car.
"No, wait a minute."
Colin shook his head and pulled out a can of fine powder that shone with a silver-blue luster. He squatted down, arranged the powder in the can into a special and complex geometric pattern, and injected a stream of undead magic into it, making it disappear underground. He then stood up and said, "Okay, it's OK now."
The gunmen who got out of the car looked at him secretly with curiosity, but as Colin stood up, they immediately returned to their expressionless attitude.
Colin didn't care what these guys, who he considered to be his minions, thought. He told Hogan, the leader, "What I want should be inside his shovel. Of course, you just need to bring me all his shovels."
"Another thing to note is that you must never let him appear in the shadows. Keep him in the sun at all times. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to you!"
Colin spoke with a hint of warning, and the gunmen around him nodded carefully after hearing this.
When it comes to one's own life, no one can appear to be indifferent.
"I understand. Do you have any other instructions?" Hogan asked after thinking for a moment with his gun loaded.
"That's all." Colin spread his hands.
After looking at it, Hogan nodded, turned around, gave combat orders to the gunmen around him, and led them towards the wooden house.
Colin watched them walk away, waved his hand to summon the hateful zombie, hid behind it, stared closely at the location where he had set up the magic array, and was ready to activate the teleportation scroll in his backpack at any time to go to the New York Temple.
In his eyes, Hogan was still a man of some ability, and the six-man fully armed team led by him should have no problem dealing with a Ghost Rider who was said to have only one strike left and was so old he was about to die in the hot sun. They could also serve as a pathfinder.
And once things develop in the worst direction he speculated, the first place Mephisto would rush to after learning the news would be the location of the contract.
At this time, the demon sensing array he had set up on the ground before came in handy.
If he had known this a few seconds in advance, he could have immediately opened the portal and escaped.
Although if it really came to that, he might not have a good ending if he fell into the hands of Ancient One, but it was still much better than falling into the hands of a demon king.
Moreover, perhaps there is still a possibility of finding the source of his time travel...
Just as Colin was on guard and ready to escape at any time, on the other side, the team led by Hogan was gradually approaching the cabin.
A group of six people stood at the door and under the window respectively. As Hogan made a gesture, the six people who were hiding suddenly jumped up at the same time, kicked the door and window open in an instant, and rushed in.
Inside the house, Carter Slay, who was smoking a pipe and listening to an old radio, stood up suddenly after hearing the sound at the door, and subconsciously rushed towards the shotgun placed on the corner of the bed, ready to fight.
But perhaps he had been away from combat for too long, causing his combat awareness to diminish beyond recognition, or perhaps he was too old and no longer as flexible as he once was.
His fingers had just touched the handle of the gun when several bullets penetrated the door and shot straight into his chest, bringing out bursts of blood.
The intense pain from the bullet made him collapse to the ground, and in the next moment, the door was kicked open and Hogan and his men walked in one after another.
He walked in and looked at the old cowboy lying on the ground with caution. He did not approach him, but aimed at the old cowboy's limbs and shot again. After making sure that the man had no ability to resist, he shot and broke the window, and ordered his men: "Throw him outside."
Although there is sunlight coming into the house, it is obviously far less than outside.
As for him, who had completely listened to the Black Mage's words, he did not want to take even the slightest risk.
"You will regret this! You don't know what you are doing. This will make the world..."
Pengpeng!
The gunshot rang out again, and Carter Slay, who was speaking in pain, could no longer speak after his lungs were pierced.
Hogan glanced at him indifferently and gave the order to urge him.
He didn't know what would happen to the world after that, but he believed that if he couldn't do what he promised the Black Wizard, his end would not be good.
Moreover, although he agreed that such people had very powerful abilities, he did not believe at all that anything could really cause devastating harm to modern society.
Even if it really happens, I believe there will definitely be similar people who will stop it. Otherwise, it will not be the turn of ordinary people like them to be the masters of this earth.
The old cowboy's body, no, it should be said that his seriously injured body was thrown onto the lawn outside the window and exposed to direct sunlight. Inside the house, a total of three shovels were also collected one by one.
Hogan took it and looked at it, and easily found the one with the problem.
But he didn't even think about taking it out to see what it was. He turned around and said to the tense crowd, "It looks like our mission is accomplished."
A sigh of relief was heard.
Honestly speaking, this mission put a huge amount of pressure on them psychologically. Now that everything is over and nothing as horrible as they imagined happened, they all felt a lot more relaxed.
Hogan, who was also a little relaxed, didn't say anything after seeing this. After giving a few simple instructions, he returned to the car.
"This is the shovel we found at his place."
Hogan secretly glanced at the tall and burly, ferocious giant standing next to the black wizard, who did not look like a living being at all, and handed over the shovel.
Colin was a little surprised that everything went so smoothly. He took it and prepared to check it. At this moment, Hogan interrupted and asked, "Do we need to be cautious?"
To be honest, he is now a little worried about being murdered to silence him.
"Avoid?" Colin looked up, looked at Hogan's slightly tense body, shook his head and chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't have any intention of killing you to silence you."
If killing people could really conceal the news and if Mephisto knew about it, he might actually do such a thing, but since it definitely couldn't be done, he wouldn't do such an unnecessary thing.
He reached out and twisted the shovel in question off, and after examining it for a while and making sure it was genuine, he threw it into his backpack with satisfaction and asked, "Where's the old cowboy? How is he now?"
He is now very curious about the state of the so-called Ghost Rider. He can actually resist the devil after signing a contract with the devil.
This is a situation that he could not find in his inherited memory.
Please recommend!!!
This is a big chapter of 4,000 words, which makes up for yesterday's chapter. I would like to ask for recommendations again!
PS: Regarding the origin of Ghost Rider, I slightly modified some settings in this book. Of course, not much, and you can regard it as a special case of a certain Marvel Universe.
