Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 224: 8. Contract Mystery

"Wow! This wine is so powerful!"

In the wide backseat of the off-road vehicle, Johnny drunkenly panicked the bottle, just like a drunk man, with an exaggerated expression, laughing towards Cyberberha. It can be seen that this guy must not have the usual habit of drinking, only half The bottle of wine put him in a state of drunken joy.

After poking away the disguise, this guy no longer felt like he had refused to be a thousand miles away. He and Saber smoked and drank, answering several questions about Selena about professional drivers from time to time, plus The wild music of the truck radio that Selena ordered, the second half of the journey, was almost full of joy.

But behind this joy is the painful past of the Jonny Blazers.

His story is not complicated. When Johnny was 15 years old when he was a child, 10 years ago, he and his father, who were also death car mechanics, played Barton at a large circus near Austin. He was widely praised in the local area. He was not a good man since he was a child, but he was definitely not embarrassed. Until he was 15, God made a joke with his father.

Lung cancer was a horrible term 10 years ago. Johnny discovered all this. He couldn’t believe that the rude talk was always devoted to acrobatics, and it was so easy for a healthy old man like a horse To leave him, the young Johnny was surrounded by an unspeakable fear, and on that night, a stranger visited him.

It was Mephistopheles. This guy inherited the temperament that a devil should have. He easily moved Johnny and signed a strange contract with him. He promised Johnny that he would get a healthy father. On the second day, Johnny did see that his father had completely recovered his 30-year-old's incredible health. He set out to plan his elopement plan with his first love girl, and the result was the moment Johnny left the circus... Something went wrong with Huo Barton.

It was an acrobatics with almost no difficulty. Cycling across the fire circle, any junior driver could be competent, but Barton, who was hailed as the best driver, fell in this link. When Johnny rushed into the hospital, I saw the father's cold, charred body.

He got what he expected, a healthy loved one, but after less than 30 minutes, he lost him again... Mephistopheles did what he promised, but he used a memorable way to bring I left Johnny's only relative...and his love. In the cold wind and rain of Austin, Johnny left the hometown by himself in the car left by his father. He was alone.

Since he was 15 years old, Johnny has learned one thing. He wants to protect those he is willing to protect, but he has to use another way...that is far away from them, because his appearance will only Bring doom and death.

"I have been looking forward to the second chance..."

Drunk Johnny hugged Cyber’s shoulder, thinking it’s a dream, “Everyone deserves a second chance. I know I can’t live in fear, but when I left my hometown at the age of 15, I turned around every time. You can see him...he told me that he will appear again, at that time, he will fulfill his promise, he will take away what he needs...my soul...I know, It all started with me. If I didn’t sign that contract, my father would..."

"He will die as well..."

Cyber ​​turned his face with one hand and looked directly into his eyes. "If you don't sign that contract, your father will die, and he will even lie in a bed of pain, desperate day by day. Waiting for the last moment, you at least let him die on what he likes to do. This is kindness, as for your fear... meaningless!"

"Johnny, all your fears, you have lived in fear for 10 years, and repeatedly tried various deadly car skills, what do you want to prove?"

"Do you want to prove that he has forgotten you? Do you want to escape this way?"

Cyber ​​put his finger, he leaned on the chair,

"No wonder you have broken your skull and spine, and you can survive unharmed. His strength is always around you. He wants to make sure that his "investment" is profitable. He wants to make sure that you can become what he wants. Breeding... You don’t realize the nature of the problem at all. Are you sure that everything you want to do now is from your heart, or is it just a means to show you strength..."

Cyber ​​put his finger in front of Johnny, "In my opinion, you are almost overwhelmed by him. You tell yourself you can't live in fear, but every time you say that, it means you don't have Being able to get out of fear, every time it is mentioned, is an activation of fear. If you go on like this, you will be crushed by yourself without him coming to you."

"You don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't like everything young people like...you tell me, is this normal?"

There was a playful smile on the corner of Saber’s mouth. “As far as I know, Mephistopheles doesn’t like cigarettes and alcohol. I think you are slowly becoming him...you understand what I mean ?"

It is impossible for a drunk person to think spiritually, but Johnny is not an ordinary person. He is like sleeping in the body, and the body is sleeping with the power from the big devil. It’s in my ears, and I feel more and more justified by Cyber,

Was he unwilling to touch all that, or were some other forces affecting him?

Johnny sat there thinking for a few minutes, then grabbed the phone beside him,

"Hey, Mike, my brother, you have a Party tonight, right?"

It seemed very noisy over the phone. Johnny’s deputy captain Mike, and one of his only friends, said loudly to the phone, “***.! You are usually not interested in these things at all, why? Want to play too?"

Johnny shrugged, he asked aloud,

"Smoke, wine, and beauty? Is there anything that young people should be interested in?"

"Wow! Our ***. come alive!"

Mike said happily, "The best enjoyment, the best beauties, the East Side of Houston, do I need someone to pick you up?"

Johnny reported an address, hung up the phone, he took a breath, looked at Cyber, he reached out and grabbed his hair,

"You're right, I think I should occasionally... relax, that kind of ten-year-long pressure, really, it's about to crush myself."

"It's a shame to fall before the danger really comes, the soldiers should eat the best, drink the best, play the best, and then grab the weapons and bravely go to the battlefield, and die on the battlefield is the best for the brave. The final destination...you will be a good fighter, Johnny, and I look forward to seeing you and Mephistopheles again."

Cyber ​​waved Selena,

"Put Johnny down next street and we should go home."

"Goodbye, Cyber!"

Johnny stood outside the car and waved towards Cyber ​​and Selena, "The performance after 3 days, welcome you, I can arrange the best seat for you!"

Selena screamed in surprise, and then watched Johnny push the car into the alley next to it. Saiber shook the car glass up, and under the sunglasses, two flickering flames twinkled. And don’t know what to think about.

"Selena, help me contact Catherine and let the little girl send some people over. I want the kind of guy who can find someone to fight... Don't let Catherine come, she has to study at Gotham!"

Cyber ​​closed his eyes. He stretched his hands and rubbed his nose. His face was tired. He said to Selena who was sitting next to him.

"If she is noisy, tell her that this is Dad’s request. She has to finish high school and college to go to the bar and let Lewis and Robin watch her closely. This time the power we have to face is a bit troublesome. Don't let the brash little girl get involved."

Early the next morning, Cyber ​​and Yuriko led the ruins of the small town of San Van Gonzá under Selena, which was far away from the cross-border bar, almost in the two extreme directions of a desert On the other hand, its name is hard to make people think of the San Van Gonzaga contract. The most important thing is that Cyber ​​wants to get some clues from there.

"You said it is a tourist attraction now?"

Yuriko looked blankly at the Texas travel map in his hand, turning his head to look at Selena driving. "But Master Cyber ​​said it was dangerous! How could it be a tourist attraction?"

This name makes Selena and Saber have both teeth, the latter waved her hand,

"Yuriko, you can call me cyber, or call me Hawke, can you call me lord? This sounds weird."

"This is a respectable title!"

Yuriko stubbornly replied, "Whether it is strength or experience, you are qualified to assume this title. You must know that in ancient Japan, there were forces like the Devil Gang that could already match some small names. This title is definitely Properly!"

Seeing the seriousness on her face, Cyber ​​sighed and stopped it no longer. Yuriko's father, the mad scientist, used traditional education for his daughter. This kind of thing is hard to reverse.

Since you can't change it, learn to enjoy it. Frankly speaking, being called "adult" by such a beautiful girl is actually a very cool and peculiar experience.

"That place is indeed a tourist attraction, where the ruined houses and buildings retain the western style of two centuries ago. Many people will travel there."

Selena looked at Cyber ​​with her rearview mirror while driving. Every time Cyber's gaze turned, she would stare back fiercely. Yuriko didn't know that Cyber's "indecent" ability.

"Then there is a legend about the devil about San Van Gonzaga?"

Cyber ​​discovered the movement of Miss Thief, so he closed his eyes, wore sunglasses, and pulled down the brim. Facing Cyber, who finally came down honestly, Selena snorted with satisfaction, and then began to say she was on The news I got on a trip,

"There are many myths and stories spread in the western part of the world, and the true and the false are unclear, but if it is in the San Van Gonzaga area, the most famous, almost everyone knows there are two stories, one is the demon in the wheat field It is said that every 30 years of the summer harvest season, the demon will hide in the wheat field, and those poor people who have been selected will be killed by him until the blood flowing out is enough for three buckets, enough to cover a third of a field of wheat. When it is one, it will close and return to the Devil Realm."

Selena told the story in a pretentious and horrible tone. After she finished talking, she looked at the expressions of Yuriko and Saber. The former was very excited, and the latter did not respond, which made Selena a weird one. Feeling frustrated, so she went on to tell the second story.

"The legend of the devil in the wheat field is mainly popular on the edge of the desert. Another legend is about the knight of the evil spirit. It is said that it is a knight. In fact, it is more like a bounty hunter. This is great. The place I traveled in recent years, as long as it is Near the western region, this legend is almost everywhere, and it is different in every place. The protagonist of the Ghost Rider in San Van Gonzale is a Texas Mounted Policeman named Carter Shree. Well, it was 230 years old. It's bones."

"Oh?"

Cyber ​​was interested, he knocked on Selena's seat with a large cane in his hand,

"There is also the protagonist of such a clear story, come and talk about this Carter Shree."

Selena glared at him, then sniffed and whispered,

"I also heard this story from the tour guide. It is said that Carter Shree was one of the most famous Mounted Police in Texas history. They were active in the last scenes of the Western era. He was a very upright and brave man. In the area he patrolled, the horse thieves and criminals all fled the wind. It is said that the bullet shot by Carter can accurately blow off the head of a guy at a distance of 500 meters. At that time, there was no criminal gang in the west that was not afraid of him, but this guy There is a problem, it is too greedy."

Selena twisted the steering wheel and drove the car into a remote desert road. She continued to tell the story of the Ghost Rider,

"Carter's greed for money and power caused him trouble. It seems that when he was 35 years old, he was sent to prison for corruption. While waiting for death, Carter met a mysterious guy, He signed a contract with him, the crime of greedy Carter was forgotten by everyone, he became the brave and upright mounted policeman, chasing criminals during the day, and at night, it will become a burning knight, chasing and killing those Monsters and monsters who secretly ran to the world."

"But Carter's old problem was recurred. During a hunt, he took away something that was supposed to belong to the devil. As a result, he caused more trouble. He was killed by the devil, but what he took was Flying away, the devil is said to have been looking for it!"

Speaking of this, Selena's voice was a little trembling. When I heard this story before, Miss Thief only thought it was nonsense, but after really meeting Mephistopheles, Selena suddenly realized ...This story is probably...

"Really!"

Cyber ​​looked at the village outside the window, his eyes moved slightly,

"This story is true, and it was taken by Carter Shredder, that is the contract of San Van Gonzale! Selena, Yuriko... you go to the neighborhood to ask, any news about Carter Shrek is summarized Give me... we finally have a clear goal."
