Chapter 241 Entry Test
After hearing the old cowboy's explanation, Johnny's expression turned serious.
Luke looked at the two of them with serious expressions, smiled and explained to them.
"Don't be nervous, guys. This is a good thing. Most people don't encounter this kind of thing."
The old cowboy raised his eyes and looked at Luke.
"A good thing?"
Luke smiled and said:
"You all got what you wanted, didn't you?"
Johnny shook his head.
"He lied to me, and my father still died in an accident."
Luke spread his hands.
"At least he didn't die of illness. Everyone's life span is limited. When the time is up, even if someone helps you, you still have to go to hell."
At this point, Johnny became angry.
"But he lied to me, he lied to me, and my father still died."
Luke narrowed his eyes at the angry Johnny.
"What did he lie to you about? Did he promise that your father would never die? He just promised to cure his illness. That's just your wishful thinking."
The old cowboy didn't say anything. His situation was different from Johnny's.
He wants to get out of prison alive.
Luke waved at Johnny.
"Calm down for a moment. I will tell you the story of the Spirit of Vengeance."
"They are not demons, but fallen angelic spirits."
Then Luke gave them some basic information about the origin of the orthodox Spirit of Vengeance.
Then Luke looked at the old cowboy.
"What you have within you is the true spirit of vengeance, God's instrument of punishment for sin."
Then he looked at Johnny.
"The spirit of vengeance in your body is called Zatanos, and is actually one of the earliest fallen angels."
"But in the final analysis, it is the souls that punish sins that possess special people, forming a symbiotic state."
The old cowboy smiled bitterly, shook his head and drank the wine in the glass.
"I am old, and the spirit of vengeance has no power anymore."
Luke smiled and said:
"I told you, they are actually the souls of fallen angels, but they were once angels."
The old cowboy raised an eyebrow.
"so what?"
Luke gave a mysterious smile.
"Did I say I knew Lucifer?"
Then, in the old cowboy's surprised gaze, Luke raised his hand and pressed it on the old cowboy's arm.
He activated the ability given to him by Lucifer, the power of angel.
White light instantly enveloped the old cowboy's entire body.
After a few seconds, the old cowboy looked incredulous.
Luke smiled and pulled his hand back, looking at him.
"How about it? Do you believe me this time?"
After the old cowboy recovered, he sighed.
"You are forcing me to continue working for you."
Luke's expression was serious.
"This is the mission God has given you, to eliminate the evil forces in the world. If the spirit of revenge is taken out of you, you will die soon."
The old cowboy poured himself another glass of wine, took a big sip, and said quietly:
“I’ve lived long enough.”
Luke looked at him with a half-smile.
"You're just hiding here and there. Have you had enough of life? Tell me, what do you want?"
They are all smart people. The old cowboy's words are nothing more than excuses. His ultimate goal is to get some benefits.
"I hope to be more stable. I don't want to run around anymore. I'm old and can't stand the hustle and bustle anymore."
Luke thought about it and nodded.
Since the old cowboy wanted stability, he also had a place to stay.
It just so happens that the town of Paradise in Montana is in need of an experienced sheriff.
The old cowboy definitely fits the bill and has a lot of experience.
This guy was the sheriff more than a hundred years ago, so how could he not be experienced?
Besides, Montana is full of cowboys. This old guy has been in the West all his life, so he naturally knows how to get along with those cowboys.
"Yes, I agree. But it's not in Texas, it's in Montana."
“Montana?”
Luke nodded.
"We'll talk about this in detail later. Let's talk about Johnny first."
Johnny was confused.
"What's wrong with me?"
Luke and the old cowboy both looked at him, and the old cowboy explained it to him.
"You haven't yet fully mastered the power of the Spirit of Vengeance."
Luke nodded as well.
"Yes, the spirit of vengeance in you is very powerful, even more powerful than his. This requires you to completely control him, rather than letting him control you."
This explanation left Johnny a little confused.
Luke and the old cowboy were telling the truth.
He has no control over his transformed self at all now.
Looking at Johnny who was confused, Luke continued to explain to him.
"My angelic powers can help you defeat the evil consciousness of Zatanos, but in the end, your own willpower is still needed."
Luke paused and continued:
"Maybe when we get back to Los Angeles, I'll ask Lucifer to help you. He might have a solution."
Johnny asked Luke confusedly.
"Now what?"
Luke raised his hand, pressed it on his arm, and activated his angelic power.
After the white light, Johnny showed a painful expression.
Sometimes he had a crazy expression, sometimes he looked painful.
The old cowboy sighed.
"This is the pain that must be experienced. Only by defeating him completely can you master him."
Luke was also persuading Johnny.
"Hey, think about your girlfriend. You wouldn't want to be controlled by another soul when you're hugging her at night, right?"
I have to say that Luke knows how to persuade people.
The old cowboy secretly gave Luke a thumbs-up.
Luke's words still stimulated this perennial bachelor.
Johnny's will was so strong at this moment that eventually the hellfire that had been burning throughout his body began to die down.
Johnny, who had returned to his normal state, gasped for air and looked at Luke.
"Can I still find a girlfriend after I transform?"
Luke raised an eyebrow.
"What? Do you still want to look your girlfriend in the eye of judgment?"
Johnny immediately shook his head violently.
Luke handed him the wine and said with a smile:
"Take your time. As long as you can completely control the power of the Spirit of Vengeance, your girlfriend will be safe..."
"Stop, I get it, I will definitely defeat him." Johnny immediately waved his hand to stop Luke from speaking.
Luke changed the subject.
"The Blackhearted Demon and his minions have been waiting for a long time. It's time to let him know that the human world is not a place where he can just come and go."
The old cowboy also perked up.
"Where are the Blackhearts?"
Luke took out his tablet and operated it for a while.
"Now they are heading to the old site of the town of St. Van Gogh. Um, they are bringing Johnny's girlfriend with them... Rosanna Simpson, is that her name?"
Luke looked up at Johnny.
Johnny was shocked.
"What, they kidnapped Rosanna?"
Luke turned the tablet around and showed it to the two of them.
The screen shows images taken by a high-altitude drone.
Blackheart led the way, followed by two shadowy figures, one of whom was carrying Johnny's girlfriend, the unconscious Rosanna Simpson.
"Fuck, these bastards..."
"They just want the Saint Vanganza Contract."
Luke smiled and said to the two of them:
"Let's get ready and go. This is your entry test."
