Johnny really wants to know, there are so many people suffering from incurable diseases and so many people who are willing to sacrifice their souls, why was he chosen?!
It's not about looks, right?
All this time, Johnny has been trapped in deep guilt.
He blames himself.
So he kept on the verge of death and frantically tempted him. He was thinking that if he was really guilty, he would pay for it with his life.
He is angry.
If Devil exists, why didn't Angel save him.
He smoked and drank, and stopped praying.
"God has his own arrangements, everything will be fine." Coulson comforted Johnny, with a compassionate expression like a competent pastor.
However, Johnny has heard this kind of talk too much.
Indifferent.
It felt like these words were telling him to lie down and endure it, and the pain would pass.
My back does not hurt when I stand and talk.
Some pain will never go away. It is imprinted in the depths of your memory and will pop up to sting you from time to time.
Mike put down the phone and suddenly said, "Are you interested in hearing some stories? They may be more bizarre than what you encountered Devil."
Johnny looked at Mike and nodded subconsciously.
Coulson and Stark nodded, eager to take out the melon seeds, drinks, and small matzah.
Mike rolled his eyes at the two of them and said slowly:
"About 20,000 years ago or in a more primitive period, a group of beings named "Spirit of Vengeance" were born on the earth. Their mission was to prevent a Element Lord. Zarathos from feeding on human souls. The powerful Element Lord is the evil spirit in your body."
"Medallion of Power, a tool created before the fall of the Atlantis Empire, Zarathos attempted to use it to rule the earth. Blood Tribe, who was responsible for protecting Medallion of Power, joined forces with Spirit of Vengeance. In the end, Spirit of Vengeance sacrificed his life and died together with Zarathos."
"Before Spirit of Vengeance died, he sealed the essence of himself and Zarathos into Medallion of Power. Blood Tribe was worried about Medallion of Power is too powerful. Once it falls into the hands of bad guys, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, Medallion of Power was broken into two parts and handed over to two families for preservation for generations. One of them became Kale Family."
Coulson's heart moved, and he remembered that in Johnny's file, his mother's surname was Kyle. Johnny obviously also thought of this, he was stunned, his mouth squirmed, and finally he didn't speak.
"Of course, a powerful being like Zarathos will not die easily. After a while, under a certain opportunity, he was resurrected. The resurrected Zarathos lost its essence power, so he had to rely on faith and prey on a large number of human souls."
"Mephisto treats the earth as a hunting ground and humans as captive livestock. How can Zarathos be allowed to act recklessly? Mephisto is unwilling to take the risk of facing the powerful Zarathos, so he designs to weaken Zarathos, and finally blows him up, then cleans his memory and enslaves his soul."
Mike looked at Johnny.
Johnny I don't know why.
"Didn't you hear the point of what I said?" Johnny looked confused, leaving Mike speechless.
I really enjoyed listening to the story.
Mike said helplessly, "The evil spirit in your body is Zarathos. He has a grudge against Mephisto and has power that even Mephisto is afraid of... So, don't you think you can use Zarathos as a weapon against Mephisto?"
Johnny said, "But I can't control the monster inside me at all..."
Mike said, "You are a descendant of the Kale Family, and you have the power of Medallion of Power and Spirit of Vengeance in your body. Also, Spirit of Vengeance They are the creations of God. Although their names are a bit dark and smelly, they are Angel. The power of Angel resides in their bodies. If you show them out, who can compete with them?"
It sounded like Coulson wanted to push Mike to the ground and hammer him.
Angel's power is used to brag?
Why doesn't a hammer fall from the sky and kill you?
Johnny is thoughtful.
Standing at the window, Johnny watched the three people leave. He thought he was going to be locked up? Unexpectedly, the three people just asked questions and told some "stories" to answer some of his doubts.
He was relieved to learn from Coulson that those who died at the hands of Ghost Rider were all evil-doers.
On the car.
Coulson:"Just leave him alone?"
"Otherwise." Mike said, "Deploy control throughout the city and arrange for people to monitor Johnny. Ghost Rider's instinct will lead us to find Blackheart - this is plan a. Now let's execute plan b."
Stark:"Is there any other plan?"
Mike: "It didn't happen before, but now it does."
The three of them came to a church cemetery.
In the East, cemeteries are often described as spooky, while in the West, cemeteries are "the closest place to Heaven". Therefore, parks and residential areas are often adjacent to cemeteries.
Cultural differences and different customs.
Carter. Slade is the tombkeeper here. There is Johnny's father's grave here, so Ghost Rider came here before turning back into an ordinary person.
Mike also knows that Contract of San Venganza is hidden in the shovel handle of Carter.
It was still Coulson who came forward to communicate. The two talked for a while. The old man took the three of them to the tombstones of Carter and Slade.
According to the old man, Carter. Slade is the previous Ghost Rider.
For a long time, Mephisto has been experimenting on humans, and this Carter. Slade should be one of the experimental subjects. This experimental subject betrayed Mephisto, took away Contract of San Venganza, and hid in the Holy Land.
By some random arrangement, Johnny's father happened to be buried in this cemetery.
Carter mentioned Contract of San Venganza. Mike and realized that he knew very little about this contract. This contract was more complicated than imagined - mainly because the introduction in the movie was very vague.
Contract of San Venganza originated more than a thousand years ago. Through planning and operation, Mephisto cultivated all the villagers in the village named "San Venganza" into white lotuses and saints who have been faithful to God for generations, so people named this village "Holy".
As the saying goes: It is easier to destroy than to build.
It takes a thousand years to cultivate a village of white lotuses, but only a few days to make them fall apart.
A beautiful woman was wrongfully accused and died, and the whole village became depraved, fell into suspicion, and then killed each other.
There were white lotuses before the fall, and madness after the fall.
In the end, no one in the village was spared, and their souls were trapped in the village, unable to escape.
Mephisto sent Carter. Slade to collect the souls, but the latter hid in the Holy Land with the contract and could not come out.
Hearing Coulson sigh, his eyes were red. He looked at Stark and Mike who had no reaction. "Hey, are you two robots incapable of feelings?"
Stark: "You actually gave the innocent beauty to bbq. How can I sympathize with you?"
If there weren't other people present, Stark would probably have cursed "hetui".
Mike said, "What saints... I think they are just a group of people in a closed world who are not familiar with the world. Their malice is just suppressed. The more suppressed, the more terrifying the outbreak. Otherwise, even if someone alienates or frames them, the whole village will not be left alone. Of course, the above is just my personal conjecture, just listen to it, after all, death is a big deal."
The real white lotus emerges from the mud without being stained, and washes through the clear ripples without being evil.
Lotus, lotus bitch: the difference between one word and the other is a world of difference.
