Chapter 226
Carter Slade, male gender, age 235, professional Texas Mounted Police, part-time Ghost Rider.
It sounds like a real ruthless character, but to be honest, 200 years is too long for humans, and many details are lost in time. Yuriko and Selina asked about it for a day. I just got a clue about Carter Slade's final destination, and there are 3 different versions.
Cyber walked around the ruins of San Venganza several times with his large cane. Indeed, as Selina said, this town is very weird. In the eyes of mortals, this is nothing but a weathered The ruins, only a complete building that is less than one third left, are slowly fading in history. As for the weird wind and fuzzy whispers that often sound in this town, it is said that some experts have come to investigate and come to a special conclusion. Caused by landforms.
But in Cyber’s eyes, there is no secret in the small town in front of you... The whole town is shrouded in a layer of gray black energy, in the ruins, in the gloomy stone rooms with holes, Hidden one after another weird, twisted, unconscious only crazy black shadows... This is probably the soul, no, it is more appropriate to be called an undead.
This ruin has another name...the hell on earth. It is said that some tourists gave it to it. It is really appropriate in the eyes of Cyber. Ordinary person will be really scared to see this scene. But they were confined within the scope of this village, unable to escape, as if there was an invisible boundary blocking them.
This is the first time Cyber really sees another world with his eyes. The shock to him is beyond addible, but frankly speaking, he is not afraid of these intangible guys. He can feel them. Emotions, they are afraid of him!
To be precise, they are afraid of those eyes again...
"Uh...it is unexpected harvest."
Cyber rubbed his forehead Turned out of this ruin, he didn’t find anything useful in it, and he couldn’t expect to get anything from the memories of those dead souls. In a long time, they only left with the most primordial killing instinct, all reason. And the memory is gone.
"Let’s talk"
Cyber was sitting in the back of the car, looking at the tired faces of Selina and Yuriko, he asked, "What did you find?"
"An old man asked me for 500 dollars. He claimed to be the descendant of Carter Slade’s colleague. He told me that Carter Slade went to the local St. Michael’s church to repent. He was contaminated by the power of the devil. His body was destroyed by the holy water, but his soul was reborn and returned to the Lord’s embrace. As for the contract, the old man said it was hidden by Carter Slade in a place known only by him, in this desert. In a corner."
Selina said with a look of disdain, "I gave him 100, and his news is only worth the price."
Cyber nodded, she turned her attention to Yuriko, the latter said to him,
"When I was inquiring about the news, a group of locomotives wanted to rob me, and then I "talked" to them and got an unexpected news, according to They said that a certain local village migrated once more than 30 years ago and built a cemetery on the original location of the village. It was held by the Hall Master taught by St. Michael. They said Carter Slade was actually not dead. He has been Hiding in the church as a priest..."
Yuriko spoke with a disgust on his face,
"But I think the news might be those guys in the end. The fantasy after taking drugs, I believe that Selina found it, Carter Slade is dead, but I have another news about the contract."
Yuriko lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It is said Before Carter Slade disappeared, he gave the contract to a close friend in his local area, because he knew that there was no place for the contract where he was going, so he left the contract in Human World and waited for the next generation. Ghost Rider stood up to complete what he didn't complete... completely destroyed the contract."
"Well...three clues?"
Cyber rubbed his chin, "So it seems that St. Michael's Church is our next stop. By the way, have you inquired about the content of the contract?"
"This thing is not a secret locally, the local old fogeys As we all know, it is said that it was a contract signed by the civilians of San Venganza more than 200 years ago after they were tempted by the devil. The devil promised them immortality at the cost of three voluntary sacrifices. As a result, the crowd was filled with suspicion that night. Driven by desire, the whole town was trapped In the blood, the devil took their souls with no difficulty and sealed them in the contract. "
Selina pursed her lips, took a big hamburger, took a bite, and muttered,
"Then it's the same thing. With that contract, you can get unimaginable power. , Carter Slade was greedy, so he ran away with the contract. "
"hmph, what can 1,000 mortal souls do?" It is estimated that even Yuriko will not be able to keep 1,000 ordinary persons. "
Cyber snorts disdainfully, "Especially for an existence like Mephisto, that is something he can get with a wave of his hand, and I've seen it, and the 1,000 souls Trapped in the ruins of San Venganza, they didn't go anywhere, they were there...for more than 200 years, so the contract must have other uses...that is the same reason that Carter Slade betrayed Mephisto and escaped. "
He rubbed his eyes. When these eyes were opened, it was very burdened with energy. His eyes were a bit tired. He said to Selina who was driving,
" Let's go back first. We will go to St. Michael's Church tomorrow... I hope I can find something really useful there. Where is that church? "
Yuriko took out his travel map and clicked on a place for Cyber.
"On the outskirts of Houston, it is a church that has been established for more than 200 years. famous. "
"Very good..."
Cyber was about to say something, the phone in his hand rang suddenly, he picked it up and took a look and said to Selina,
"Go directly to the hotel, Katherine's brothers are here, and Santas, these can be done by them, you can just go see Johnny's performance, it is said that this is another record Performance. "
Two hours later, the three Cyber people who had endured the hardships of a long journey returned to the hotel, opened the door and saw six youngsters standing or sitting in the living room chatting and accompanying Behind them is Remy LeBeau, who has gone to almost every nightclub in Houston in the past few days. He won a lot of money, but he changed hands and spent it again. It was a mess.
Because of Remy’s own carefree character, Cyber didn’t dare to leave this to him. He was essentially a "friend", but not "my own".
Looking at When the door was pushed open, several youngsters all stood up. Selina and Yuriko walked into the room first, then leaning on a cane and wearing sunglasses, just like a blind Cyber. Santas came up first and helped Lived Cyber's arm,
"Boss, what's going on? Are your eyes hurt? "
Cyber didn’t speak, just patted Santas’ arms. He closed his eyes and "looked" at other people. He could feel their breath. In fact, Cyber always felt that there was something hidden in these eyes. "Switch" button, otherwise the impossible has been maintained in this way, which is a very demanding burden for his current energy.
But the problem is that Mephisto seems to deliberately maintain these eyes in this state. Cyber’s only choice to close his eyes most of the time, but after Santas asked, he opened his eyes. At that moment, Santas couldn’t help taking a step back. It was an intuition from the killer, Cyber’s His eyes gave him a sense of danger.
Cyber shrugged, closed his eyes again, and said, relying on the perception of breath,
"Tell me, Santa, these all are ...wait, Alvin, is that you? "
He felt a familiar breath. He walked to the youngster standing on the edge with silly round glasses. He patted his shoulder, "Do you know if you come out, your grandfather?" "
Standing in front of Cyber is impressively the grandson of Professor Hawkins, one of the youngsters Cyber rescued from Stryker's base, Alvin Hawkins, Mutant who can manipulate water, Cyber still remembers him. Looks like a shy youngster.
Faced with Cyber's inquiry, Alvin nodded,
"I have joined Devil Gang, and grandfather has no objection. My younger sister is talking to Miss Katherine. Going to school together, as you said, I must at least learn how to fight to protect her and my grandfather. "
"Okay. "
Cyber nodded, Santas introduced him to the other 4 youngsters in due course,
"This is Aranak Wright, an orphan from Ontario, Miss Katherine’s top bodyguard at Xavier Academy, he The ability is to control the beam. "
The tall black man Aranak respectfully paid tribute to Cyber nodded. Although he is only 17 years old, he is almost 2 meters tall. He is a head taller than Cyber. The accented voice said to Cyber,
"Thank you for your initial help, Cyber Boss, I will never forget it. "
"Live for yourself, child! "
Cyber patted his chest, "Don't offer your freedom to anyone." "
"En"
Aranak is very serious and nodded. On his neck, you can see a tattooed head of a bloodfiend ghost.
Next are two 175 tall and very similar yellow people stepping forward and standing next to Cyber respectfully like Aranak. Santas continues to introduce,
"This is the Anai brother, they are a gathering of Indians. Orphans in the district, Atanis Anai’s ability is to control sand, and his brother Sas Elor Anai’s ability is an energy knife. It is very sharp and can cut most of the metal. They were trapped in the dam base just like me. They were rescued by you. Yes, they are also followers of Miss Katherine. "
"Salute to you, Cyber Boss, Miss let us help you! Please give the order! "
Two twins raised their hands on their chests, one on the left and the other on the right. This is Indian etiquette and represents obedience to the powerful. They also have the symbol of bloodfiend ghosts on their arms. .
Cyber nodded, casually said, "Don’t worry, children, conserve strength and store up energy are the most important thing. I will go with you, don’t worry. "
He looked towards the last person, Cyber frowned. The breath of this guy made him feel very familiar. Before Santas could speak, the guy said,
"I It’s Jace Elcreed, a college student in New York, I have to thank you for turning me into a monster..."
His voice is lazy and hoarse, and the complaints in it are almost solidified. When Cyber spoke up, the tall Aranak took a step forward, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. In the other hand, the rays of light shined, and a sharp and slender triangular light blade flew from him. The back of his hand popped out and hit Jace's neck,
"Fuck! How dare you say this to Mr. Cyber! "
The big man's angry scene is still very impactful. The Anai brother is gearing up to teach Jace, but the decadent guy looks at them with disdain, Santas is a little embarrassed in Cyber I said,
"Jace is the youngster you rescued before we left New York. Even if it's almost a month, he still can't accept the fact that he is a Mutant. The lady is annoying him, so let me Bring him over to you. "
"Oh? Is the waste used? "
Cyber shrugged, "Well, Aranak, let him down, he is our compatriot, no matter how much he denies this fact, he is still one of us, Yuriko, with the child Let’s eat, and you train them in the evening, Remy. Can you help us rent a practice room that won’t be disturbed? "
Finally, he looked at Jace who was unconvinced, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the youngster,
"You...you come with me...we Tell me something about the present and your past. "
