San Venganza was once a good place with simple folk customs and outstanding people.
Although I haven't yet reached the level where I don't pick up things on the road and don't close my door at night.
However, under the joint management of the Sheriff and the Town Mayor, there have been no crimes such as theft or vendetta for several years.
Whether they are gold diggers, ranchers, or locals, everyone gets along in harmony.
It is foreseeable that if the western part of the country selects civilized towns, San Venganza will definitely come out on top.
However, fate often likes to play a nasty joke on people when they are not prepared.
One day, the old devil stepped into San Venganza.
He deceived the mayor and bewitched the sheriff.
Provoke the greed of town residents and amplify their inner selfishness.
Finally, through another carefully planned conspiracy.
God, who leads everyone to the path of depravity and abandons their faith.
"Three thousand fallen souls were sealed in a contract."
Carter, who was holding a horse, Shi Lei said solemnly.
"Later, Mephisto ordered me to retrieve the contract for him and open the door to hell."
"I learned the truth, and with fear and only a trace of conscience in my heart, I ran away and hid until I was found by Sorcerer Supreme."
Carter-Shi Lei, was originally a young Texas Ranger.
He made mistakes because of his own greed and was arrested and imprisoned.
In order to gain freedom, he sold his soul to Mephisto and became Ghost Rider chosen by the other party.
Later, Carter-Shrey was driven to go to San Venganza to take away the contract that sealed three thousand fallen souls.
At the last moment, he betrayed the old devil and took away the contract.
The widely circulated "Western Phantom" just disappeared.
"What about the contract?"
Strange walked into the town and kept looking around.
Everything didn't seem to be as bad as Carter-Shi Lei said. The residents of the town did not make any extreme reactions except for casting curious glances at the outsiders.
They all looked kind, and there was absolutely no sign of being rescued.
"Still got by Mephisto."
The old cowboy said regretfully.
"But he failed to open the door between the world and hell. Sorcerer Supreme stopped the old devil's plan."
"It's just San Venganza. The souls of three thousand fallen people will always be enslaved by him and cannot be freed."
"They are stained with sin and have turned their backs on God. They cannot go to heaven, nor can they escape the control of Mephisto."
Carter-Shi Lei suddenly stopped, looked at this seemingly normal and peaceful town, shook his head and said, "What you see now is just a projection of the rift in hell."
"The real San Venganza has long been dilapidated and forgotten."
Hearing that past incident, Strange felt a little heavy.
"Then how do I save them?"
he asked subconsciously.
"I can't give you the answer. This is Vishanti's test for you."
Carter-Shi Lei shrugged. He also hoped that someone could give the residents of San Venganza a complete relief.
Those three thousand suffering souls still have no rest and are suffering.
"You can move around the town freely."
Carter-Sorey left these words and then rode away.
He is just a facilitator and spectator of the game.
"You're on your own, Stephen."
Luke patted Strange on the shoulder, indicating that this game will be played by yourself.
Compared with the previous two games, with exact goals, the final test is obviously much more difficult.
Vishanti did not set any rules, but only defined a vague range. The rest must be explored and discovered by the participants.
"By the way, friendly advice, if you can't figure out what to do, you might as well look at the options of those competitors."
Luke is going to find a hotel and go fishing.
He had no intention of turning a blind eye to Strange and letting the other party do what he wanted.
It's just that there is too little information currently available, and it will take some time to observe.
"Competitors..."
Strange thoughtfully.
Faced with the difficult problem given by Vishanti, Mordo and Kaecilius, what should Brotherhood, their former fellow disciples, do?
As night fell, before the participants made any move after settling down, they noticed that the atmosphere at San Venganza had changed drastically.
During the day, the enthusiastic residents, the talkative sheriff, the tavern owner who answered all questions... everyone seemed to have changed.
They stared at the outsiders who broke into the town with hostility and hatred.
"It feels very bad."
Thor frowned. He and Loki were walking outside the hotel when a group of strong men with unkind expressions slowly gathered around them.
Originally there were two or three people hanging far behind, but more and more people joined along the way.
"Go away! She, stay!"
The guy at the head looked straight at Loki, completely ignoring Thor.
"Teasing my... sister?"
Thor simply couldn't bear it. He would rather let others tease him than forgive these gangsters for having thoughts about his sister.
This is the bottom line that cannot be violated as a girl control!
"You should learn a lesson!"
Thor rolled up his sleeves and waved his fists to greet him.
Asgardian's powerful physique, facing San Venganza's gangster, was simply crushing the situation.
He single-handedly charged into the siege, and then beat the shit out of these blind guys.
However, the storm did not stop there.
The news of the fight attracted more people's attention.
The men in the town joined in one after another.
Like this is some kind of fun game that attracts them.
Soon, the situation got out of control.
Thor was alone and had to face the siege of hundreds of people.
Fists, iron rods, pitchforks... all kinds of gadgets came to greet him.
Although it is not painful or itchy, it makes people feel irritated.
Bang!
There was a gunshot.
The bullet from the revolver hit Thor in the chest.
This did not cause him any substantial harm.
But the gunshots that echoed in the night sky were like opening a certain gate, releasing the brutality and murderous desire of San Venganza residents.
"Loki..."
Thor saw more people surrounding him, with a fierce light in their eyes, and stretched out their right hands.
The atmosphere emitted an explosive roar, and the Stormbreaker, which was surrounded by electric light, rotated at high speed, mowing down the residents of the town like mowing grass.
A dispute started by a dozen people turned into a fight involving hundreds of people, and then became a violent feast for thousands of people.
All this is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger and difficult to contain.
"This is San Venganza who sold his soul to the devil. Is this his true side?"
Luke, who was watching this scene, seemed to have guessed something.
The next day, early morning.
When the sun shines on San Venganza, this town seems to come alive and full of vitality.
"They're not dead?"
Throughout the night, I felt guilty for Thor who killed many small town residents.
Seeing those men who had conflicts with him appear in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
They were not at all as violent and vicious as last night.
Everyone smiled and greeted warmly.
Some people even offered to serve a pie, saying it was a gift for a stranger.
"What's going on?"
Thor looked confused.
"Is this Groundhog Day?"
Thor thought of a movie he watched on Earth.
Obviously, a large-scale bloodshed occurred last night, with many casualties.
But until today, it seems like nothing happened.
It's like time has been reset.
"I get it. The people in this town sold their souls to the devil, and that's why it behaves so horribly at night."
After last night's encounter, Loki's eyes flashed with light. She nodded gently and said, "They have lost their souls and have died long ago. They are non-existent 'people'."
"Even if you clean the entire town Carnage, these people will reappear the moment the sun rises."
"Day and night are equivalent to the past and present of San Venganza, two sides of one body."
Thor scratched his head. To him, what Loki said was too complicated and difficult to understand.
"You don't have to understand, just do what I say."
Loki didn't expect the silly old man to use his poor IQ. She rolled her beautiful eyes and whispered, "Let's go find the mayor first."
