Chapter 163 Devil's Contract
The most terrifying thing in the desert is not the lack of water, but the dark and cold nights.
Because sand has a small specific heat capacity, heat dissipates too quickly, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night, making the nights in the desert too cold, which is a huge challenge for Stark and Ethan, who are in poor health.
As for getting lost walking in the desert at night...
What a joke, Charlotte, the clone in the SHIELD team, is a shining indicator light.
Not to mention that this indicator light is equipped with Spider-Man and Spider Radar skill cards, making it absolutely foolproof!
Of course, the range of the spider radar did not reach the distant location where the three people were at the moment, but the huge range was more than enough to identify the direction.
So Charlotte made a quick decision and decided to go in the opposite direction of the indicator light.
Stark, who was unwilling to die, had a friendly debate with Vi (Charlotte), the so-called spokesperson for his inner demons, and was soon successfully convinced by Charlotte's art of language with his fists.
Charlotte never nags about things that can be solved by hand~
Forced to do so, Stark and Ethan wrapped themselves in thick cotton coats, held flashlights in their hands, and followed Charlotte's footsteps, embarking on this long journey.
Fortunately, it was approaching dawn, the temperature had risen a little, and there was a hazy light on the eastern skyline. It would not be long before the desert would go from cold to hot.
The two could only move forward one step deep and one step shallow, fearing for their own lives.
Soon after Charlotte and the other two left, a desperate and thick darkness spread in the cave. The flickering light bulb above their heads suddenly lit up to its maximum brightness, and then exploded with dazzling electric light.
Several electric sparks fell on the surrounding corpses, which strangely began to burn with bright red hellfire, which immediately spread to the surroundings.
Several corpses were burned to white bones in an instant, and the thick blood on the ground was pulled by an unknown force and gathered on the ground to form a complicated magic circle.
There was a pungent smell of sulfur in the blood, and the figure of a gentleman old man appeared in the middle of the cave at some point.
In his hand he was leaning on a gentleman's cane covered with scriptures, and his gaze fell on the direction where Charlotte and the other two had left.
Raising his forehead, Mephisto inhaled the bloody smell in the air into his nostrils like hookah. He curled up his thin lips, savoring the despair and pain in it with satisfaction.
Then Mephisto opened his mouth and spit out a black gas, blowing up a thin line that was almost invisible. Without Charlotte's knowledge, this thin line representing the contract with the inner demon had quietly connected to his body.
Ever since Mephisto released his cell phone number a month ago, he has been receiving harassing phone calls from fearless idiots every day.
But Mephisto, the lord of the regional dimension, did not answer any of them.
After all, he had paid a huge price to finally break the contract with the bald woman that allowed her to steal his power.
Who knows if once I answer these calls, that hateful bald woman will take advantage of me again.
A long, long time ago, the first dimensional demon to be deceived by the Ancient One was Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, who suffered heavy losses. He became a lesson for others, but later Mephisto suffered losses from the Ancient One more than once.
That despicable guy was born with a sincere face of a hermit and highly respected person, but he did all kinds of dirty things to deceive the dimensional demon god!
And it’s impossible to guard against it!
The deceived dimensional demons also spontaneously learned Ancient One's deception techniques in an attempt to recover their losses. As a result, the entire demon circle became stinking.
In the end, all the demons put the dishonest Ancient One on the blacklist without exception.
Even so, there are often good news that the demon god of that dimension has been deceived again.
The Earth, which was regarded as the base by the Ancient One, gradually became a forbidden area for the dimensional demons, who were afraid of being fooled by the Ancient One again.
Only that silly boy Blackheart thought this place was a good place, and Mephisto, who was familiar with the ancient tactics, knew very well that Ancient One was playing the long game of catching big fish.
Who else can make Ancient One want to catch the fish except Mephisto?
cough cough...
Not to mention that annoying bald girl, Mephisto planned to escape immediately after finishing his job and not stay any longer.
His target is Charlotte, who calls himself the inner demon.
The first time he saw Charlotte, he determined that Charlotte was a good candidate to be a devil, and he kept paying attention to Charlotte.
And what happened later made him even more certain.
He couldn't wait to have Charlotte join the happy big family of demons, to get Charlotte's soul, and to make Charlotte a real member of hell.
The only method Mephisto can use is to personally sign an irreversible contract with Charlotte.
A contract is an agreement to establish a relationship, a transaction, a means of control, and also a restriction set by that bastard Ancient One.
A contract can be written, verbal, or of course silent.
When Charlotte called herself a devil, an unspoken contract was formed for Mephisto.
When Mephisto acknowledged that Charlotte was the inner demon, the verbal contract was signed.
And now only the last step, the written contract, is left, and Mephisto's goal will be perfectly achieved.
The devil has a long life, and when he saw Charlotte, he felt like he was seeing something funny.
He is not in a hurry~ He is not in a hurry at all! Really not in a hurry! He has plenty of time to achieve his goal.
Maybe in the future he will have the opportunity to rely on Charlotte's magical power to fulfill his dream of stepping on Ancient One and punching Dormammu.
As for ~The Devil's Advocate?
This is a really interesting and good idea, to prevent the dishonest villain Gu Yi from making trouble for himself.
Mephisto certainly won't do it himself, but fortunately, he has his own devil's advocate on earth!
Opening his mouth, Mephisto chanted softly:
"Johnny Blaze...my Ghost Rider, now it's time for you to pay the price..."
The voice quickly traveled throughout the world and accurately reached Johnny's mind.
After doing all this, the incarnated Mephisto slapped himself apart without hesitation, leaving no chance for Ancient One to take advantage of.
He completely sacrificed this part of his energy and turned himself into a wisp of smoke.
"Johnny Blaze..."
The devil's whispers passed through Johnny's mind, and the old man standing in purgatory appeared in front of Johnny again. In his sight with his eyes closed, an old mouth calling his name quickly approached him.
Johnny's eyes suddenly widened, and he separated his lips and teeth from Roxanne's, his eyes flashing with orange fire.
"Johnny? What's wrong with you?" Fox reporter Roxanne Simpson, who was on vacation recently to relax, couldn't help but ask.
Roxanne and Johnny were lovers when they were young. After Johnny was cursed by the devil, he was forced to separate from her in order not to implicate Roxanne. However, Johnny has always had a place for Roxanne in his heart over the years.
Time flies, and the former motorcycle boy has now become a motorcycle stuntman popular all over the world.
Roseanne also became a famous reporter for Fox.
In the tragic incident she encountered, she was tragically baptized in front of the whole world during the live broadcast, but she still gritted her teeth and made up her mind to complete the live broadcast.
So she became famous overnight, signed a better contract at Fox, and had a place in the journalism industry, but she also got the nickname "King of Shit".
These days she really couldn't stand her colleagues' weird looks and the noses they inadvertently covered.
Only then did I take a leave to rest and relieve my depressed mood.
It was also during this time that she met her first love, Johnny Blaze, who was on a national tour.
Johnny, who had always been paying attention to his ex-girlfriend, of course also watched the live broadcast at that time, but the scene was so severe that he opened his eyes wide and couldn't bear to look at it.
After meeting the distraught Roseanne, he comforted her, and this comfort immediately led to the bed.
And Mephisto's voice sounded at this moment.
Lust made Johnny's whole body hot, but that evil call was like a basin of cold water poured on Johnny's head.
His head was dizzy and he felt nauseous. His whole body was still burning with heat, but he no longer had the heart to continue with Roxanne.
As his desire faded, he only felt his throat becoming extremely dry and his lower body becoming hotter and hotter.
He never forgot the reason why he left Roseanne.
The devil... because of the devil...
The countless times he escaped death through acrobatic performances made him even more certain of everything that had happened to him in his youth: that he had sold his soul to the devil and had been deceived by him.
The devil has been watching him all these years, and the devil's sight has made him sure to bring disaster to the people around him.
Looking at the concern and helplessness in Roxanne's eyes, she seemed to think that Johnny also disliked her.
Johnny opened his mouth and immediately wanted to explain.
But a breath of hot air gushed out of his throat, leaving a bitter burning sensation in his mouth.
He quickly picked up the cup beside him and poured the water into his stomach.
But the symptoms did not improve at all, instead my lower body became even hotter.
"I...I'm going to the bathroom first..."
After saying this hoarsely, Johnny, who was a little at a loss, staggered towards the bathroom. Roxanne noticed that something was wrong with Johnny, so she quickly stood up and tried to hold Johnny's arm.
However, she was inexplicably burned by Johnny's scalding arm and retracted her hand, causing her to exclaim:
"Johnny! What's wrong with you, Johnny! Why are you so hot--"
"It's a devil..." Johnny said this hoarsely, trying hard to suppress the pain in his throat, and rushed into the bathroom.
Hot! Almost scorching hot!
The pain that pierced his heart at first gradually turned into a sense of enjoyment for him.
The despair of wanting to commit suicide made his face look painful, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth wildly.
Everything mixed together, as if a devil was whispering in his ear, and his body was getting hotter and hotter, making him want to tear off his skin immediately and rush out...
No! I am human! I am not a demon...
Johnny immediately raised his hand and turned on the shower switch.
The cold water splashed on Johnny's hot body.
But Johnny could hear the sound of water rapidly evaporating from his skin, and billowing steam floated in the bathroom.
"My God!" Having experienced the wind demon, Roshan certainly believed in the existence of demons.
Seeing Johnny's current state made her unable to help but cover her mouth.
Johnny's crotch, which was the hottest part, began to burn violently first, and then his head lit up like a torch.
Intense pain filled Johnny's mind. Standing in the boiling steam, Johnny opened his mouth and let out an excited laugh.
In the flames of hell, Johnny's expression changed rapidly.
Johnny, in extreme pain, and the happy, laughing Spirit of Vengeance appear alternately.
The skin began to crack little by little, revealing the pale bones and flowing magma underneath.
Johnny's screams mixed with the laughter of the spirit of revenge made his eyes spew fire. Johnny, who almost fell down, grabbed the shower head.
The flames of hell burned from his palms throughout the entire bathroom, and what gushed out of the flame shower head was no longer water, but red magma, pouring onto Johnny's body.
As the burning magma flowed down Johnny's body, the flames burned off the rest of his skin, and in a sea of red fire, Ghost Rider completed his final transformation.
A wildly laughing skull shook off the lava on his head, and the task assigned to him by Mephisto rang in his ears.
"Find Charlotte Parker... and bring him my gift..."
