Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

"Wow! This wine is really strong!"

In the large back seat of the off-road vehicle, Johnny was drunk and flustered the wine bottle, just like a drunk, and laughed at Seber with an exaggerated expression. It can be seen that this guy must not have the usual habit of drinking, but only half A bottle of wine put him into a state of drunken joy.

After poking through the camouflage, this guy no longer had the feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away. He and Seber were smoking and drinking, answering Selena's questions about professional drivers from time to time, plus With the wild music on the truck radio that Selena turned on, the second half of the journey was almost filled with joy.

But behind this joy is the painful past of Johnny Blazer's family.

His story is not complicated. When Johnny was a child, when he was 15 years old, 10 years ago, he and his father, also a death car mechanic, were performing father and son car skills in a large circus near Austin. , widely acclaimed in the local area, his childhood life was not good, but it was definitely not embarrassing, until he was 15 years old, God made a joke with his father.

Lung cancer was a scary term 10 years ago. Johnny discovered all this. He couldn't believe it. That old man who spoke rudely, always devoted himself to acrobatics, and was as healthy as a horse could do it so easily. An unspeakable terror gripped young Johnny about leaving him, and that very night a stranger visited him.

It's Mephisto, this guy has the temperament that a devil should have, he easily impresses Johnny, and signed a strange contract with him, he promised Johnny that he would get a healthy father , the next day, Johnny actually saw his father fully restored to his 30-year-old, incredible health, and he started to plan his elopement plan with the girl he first fell in love with, but the moment Johnny left the circus... exploded Fire Barton had an accident.

It was an acrobatic with almost no difficulty, riding a bicycle across the fire ring, any junior driver could do it, but Button, known as the best driver, fell down in this link, and when Johnny rushed into the hospital, What was seen was the cold, charred body of his father.

He got what he was looking for, a healthy loved one, but less than 30 minutes later, he lost him again... Mephisto did what he promised, but he did it in an unforgettable way, bringing Johnny's only relative... and his love were gone. In the cold and windy weather in Austin, Johnny left his hometown alone on the car left by his father. He was alone.

From the age of 15, Johnny learned one thing, he has to protect those he is willing to protect, but in another way... that is to stay away from them, because his appearance will only Brings bad luck and death.

"I've been waiting for a second chance..."

The drunken Johnny hugged Saber's shoulders, thinking like a dream, "Everyone deserves a second chance, I know I can't live in fear, but when I left my hometown at the age of 15, every time I turned around Can see him...he told me he'll show up again and then he's going to fulfill his promise and he's going to take what he needs...my soul...I know, This is all because of me, if I hadn't signed that contract, my father would have..."

"He's going to die too..."

Saibo turned Johnny's face away with one hand, and looked straight into his eyes, "If you hadn't signed that contract, your father would have died, and he would even lie on the hospital bed in pain, day after day of despair. Waiting for the last moment to come, you at least let him die doing what he likes to do, which is a kindness, as for your fear... meaningless!"

"Johnny, all your fears, you have lived in fear for 10 years, repeatedly trying various deadly car skills, what do you want to prove?"

"Do you want to prove that he has forgotten you? Do you want to escape in this way?"

Saber put his fingers, and he leaned back in the chair,

"It's no wonder you survived with a broken skull and spine. His strength is always around you. He wants to make sure that his "investment" is profitable. He wants to make sure that you can become what he wants. This kind of person...you don't realize the essence of the problem at all, are you sure that everything you do now comes from what you really want to do in your heart, or is it just a means for him to show his strength to you..."

Saber put his finger in front of Johnny's eyes, "In my opinion, you are almost crushed by him. You tell yourself that you can't live in fear, but every time you say this, it means that you have no fear at all. Being able to get away from fear, every time you mention it is a kind of activation of fear, if you continue like this, without him coming to you, you will be crushed by yourself."

"You don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't like everything young people like... tell me, is that normal?"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Saber's mouth, "As far as I know, Mephisto himself doesn't like cigarettes and alcohol. I think you are slowly becoming him...you know what I mean ?"

It is impossible for a drunk person to think spiritually, but Johnny is not an ordinary person, he is like Sable, the power from the great devil is sleeping in his body, he listened to every word that Sable said It's in my ears, and I feel more and more that what Saibo said makes sense,

Is he himself unwilling to touch all that, or are some other forces affecting him?

Johnny sat there thinking for a few minutes, then grabbed the phone next to him,

"Hey Mike, my brother, you have a party tonight, right?"

There seemed to be a lot of noise on the phone, Mike, the vice-captain of Johnny's team, and one of his only friends, said loudly into the phone, "***! You are not interested in these things at all, why? You Want to come and play too?"

Johnny shrugged, and he asked aloud,

"Is there cigarettes, alcohol, beautiful women? Are there any things that young people should be interested in?"

"Wow! Our *** is alive!"

Mike said happily, "The best enjoyment, the best beauty, Eastside Houston, do you need me to find someone to pick you up?"

Johnny reported an address, hung up the phone, he let out a sigh of relief, looked at Seber, he reached out and scratched his hair,

"You're right, I think I should really... relax once in a while, that ten-year-long stress, really, is about to knock me down."

"Before the real danger comes, it is a shame. Soldiers should eat the best, drink the best, play the best, and then go to the battlefield bravely with weapons in hand. It is best for the brave to die on the battlefield. You will be a good fighter, Johnny, and I look forward to seeing you and Mephisto again."

Saber waved to Selena,

"Put Johnny down at the next block, we should go home too."

"Goodbye, Cyber!"

Johnny stood outside the car and waved to Saibo and Selena, "Welcome to the performance in 3 days, I can arrange the best seats for you!"

Selena screamed in surprise, and then watched Johnny push the car into the alley next to it, and Selena rolled up the car glass, under the sunglasses, two flashing flames flickered , I don't know what to think about.

"Selena, help me contact Catherine, let the little girl send some people over, I want the kind of good guy who can find someone and fight... Don't let Catherine come over, she has to study in Gotham!"

Saibo closed his eyes, he stretched out his hands and rubbed the bridge of his nose, with a tired face, he said to Selina sitting beside him,

"If she's noisy, tell her it's Daddy's request, she has to go through high school and college before she can run a bar, and keep Lewis and Robin's eye on her, the forces we're dealing with are a bit troublesome this time, Don't let that rash little girl get involved."

In the early morning of the next day, Saibo and Yuriko went down to the ruins of the small town called San Van Gonzale under the leadership of Selena. In fact, its name is hard not to remind people of the San Van Gonza contract, and most importantly, Cyber ​​wants to get some clues from it.

"You said it's a tourist attraction now?"

Yuriko looked blankly at the Texas travel map in her hand, then turned to look at Selena who was driving, "But Master Saibo said it was dangerous there! How can it be a tourist attraction?"

This title made Selena and Seber's teeth sore at the same time, and the latter waved his hand,

"Yuriko, you can call me Saber or Hawke, can you not call me sir? This sounds weird."

"It's a title of respect!"

Yuriko replied stubbornly, "Whether it is strength or experience, you are qualified to bear this title. You must know that in ancient Japan, there were forces like the Devil Gang, which could already rival some small daimyos. This title is definitely Appropriate!"

Seeing the serious look on her face, Saibo sighed and stopped stopping. Yuriko's father, that mad scientist, used traditional education for his daughter. It's hard to reverse this kind of thing.

Since you can't change it, then learn to enjoy it. Frankly speaking, being called "adult" by such a beautiful girl is actually a very cool and strange experience.

"That place is indeed a tourist attraction. The dilapidated houses and buildings there retain the western style two centuries ago. Many people will travel there."

While driving, Selena looked at Saibo with the rearview mirror. Every time he turned his gaze, she would stare back fiercely. Yuriko didn't know that Saibo had such a "nasty" ability.

"Then about Saint Van Gonzale, is there any legend related to the devil?"

Selena noticed Miss Thief's movements, so he closed his eyes, put on sunglasses, and pulled down the brim of his hat. Facing Selina who finally "honestly" came down, Selena snorted in satisfaction, and then began to say that she went to I got news during a trip,

"There are many myths and stories circulating in the west, and it is not clear whether they are true or false. However, if it is the San Van Gonzale area, there are two most famous stories that almost everyone knows. One is the devil in the wheat field. , It is said that every 30 years during the summer harvest season, the devil will hide in the wheat field, and those poor people who are selected will be killed by him until the blood flowed out is enough for three buckets, enough to cover one-third of a wheat field It will stop and return to the Demon Realm once more."

Selena told the story in a contrived and terrifying tone. After she finished speaking, she looked at the expressions of Yuriko and Saber. The former was very interested, but the latter did not respond, which made Selina feel weird. Frustrated, she moved on to a second story.

"The legend of the Rye Devil is mainly popular on the edge of the desert. Another legend is about the Ghost Rider. It is said that he is a knight, but he is actually more like a bounty hunter. Near the western region, almost all have this legend, and it is different in each place. The protagonist of the Ghost Rider in San Van Gonzale is a Texas Mounted Policeman named Carter Sley. Well, that is the old man from 230 years ago. Bones."

"oh?"

Saber became interested, and he knocked on Selena's seat with the large cane in his hand,

"There is also such a clearly recorded protagonist in the story, come, tell me about this Carter Sley."

Selena glared at him, then sniffled and whispered,

"I also heard this story from the tour guide. It is said that Carter Slay is one of the most famous mounted policemen in the history of Texas. They were active in the last days of the western era. He is a very upright and brave man. In the area he patrolled, those horse thieves and criminals fled after hearing the news. It is said that the bullets fired by Carter can accurately explode a guy's head from 500 meters away. At that time, there was no criminal gang in the west who was not afraid of him, but this guy There is a problem, that is too greedy."

Selena twisted the steering wheel and drove the car into a remote desert road. She continued to tell the story of Ghost Rider,

"Carter's greed for money and power got him into trouble. It seems that when he was 35 years old, he was sent to prison for corruption. While waiting to die, Carter met a mysterious guy. He signed a contract with him, and the crimes of the greedy Carter were forgotten by everyone. He became the brave and upright mounted policeman, chasing criminals during the day, and turning into a burning knight at night, chasing and killing those criminals. Demons and ghosts who sneak into the world."

"But Carter's old problem happened again. During a chase, he took some things that should belong to the devil, which caused even more trouble. He was killed by the devil, but the things he took were It disappeared, and it is said that the devil... has been looking for it!"

Speaking of this, Selena's voice trembled a little. When she heard the story before, Miss Thief thought it was nonsense, but after seeing Mephisto, Selena suddenly realized ...the story, quite possibly...

"real!"

Saibo looked at the village outside the window, his eyes moved slightly,

"This story is true. The one that was taken away by Carter Srey is the Saint Van Gonzal contract! Selina, Yuriko...you go to the neighborhood and ask. Any news about Carter Sley will be collected. Give me...we finally have a clear goal."
