The beginning of Meiman is a Zanpakuto

"Wait...I still have a question."

Johnny took a deep breath, and just when he was about to ask why it was him, Carter Shirey seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask, and said directly: "When you signed the contract with Mephisto,

From that moment on, I was destined to be unable to escape this nightmare!"

Mephisto...

This evil name is like a terrifying nightmare that has haunted Johnny for more than ten years!

If he hadn't been bewitched and signed that sinful contract with Mephisto in order to save his father from cancer, his father would not have died while performing a stunt.

And he would not feel deeply remorseful for this incident in the following nights, and would even deliberately challenge impossible speeding stunts, just to find a way to die that would give him peace of mind.

"How...how do you know?" Johnny sat on the ground dejectedly, his hands deeply inserted into the roots of his hair, and his whole head buried in the bear, like an ostrich hiding from the storm.

"Because I, like you, signed a contract with Mephisto." Carter Shirey recalled the past and couldn't help but sigh.

"So you too...we are all people who have been deceived by Mephisto!" Johnny's eyes flashed with astonishment. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him had a similar experience to him, and he suddenly felt that Carter

He has become much more approachable.

Carter Shirey sighed again, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together: "There is no need to be super moved, because we will soon... be in big trouble. If we can't solve it, the entire

The world will be devoured by demons."

Johnny's eyes twitched and he said, "Sorry, are you talking about the plot of a Hollywood movie?"

"The man who attacked you last night, I smelled an extremely strong breath of hell from him." Carter Shirey's eyes revealed a trace of heart palpitations, and he said solemnly: "Just looking directly into his eyes made me feel...

I felt the trembling from the depths of my soul, this feeling of being wiped out at any time, I have only felt it with Mephisto."

"So...why did he attack me?" Johnny swallowed. Although he didn't know how strong Mephisto was, the scene where he was violently abused by that man yesterday and had no power to fight back still remains to this day.

It’s vivid in my mind!

"If my guess is correct...he should be here for the St. Vincent's contract!" Carter Shirey's eyes subconsciously glanced at a dilapidated tombstone, but he quickly took it back and said

Didn't catch Johnny's attention.

"St. Vincent's Contract?" Johnny frowned slightly, his intuition telling him that this thing was very important: "It sounds very powerful, but I have never seen it before. Why did that man come to me?"

"Because this is... the fate of the Ghost Rider!" Carter Shirey said solemnly: "It is every evil spirit's duty to protect Saint Vincent's contract from falling into the hands of Mephisto and other demons.

The destiny of the Spirit Knight."

Gudong...

Perhaps infected by Carter's solemn and solemn expression, Johnny unconsciously puffed up his chest and asked nervously: "What exactly is the St. Vincent's Contract?"

"key!"

Carter Shirey looked very solemn and said: "This is what Mephisto spent hundreds of years to turn a holy place that believes in God into purgatory, sealing the souls of three thousand fallen saints, and forged it.

A magic weapon!"

"Once the St. Fangansa contract is obtained by Mephisto or other powerful demons, the entrance from hell to the human world will be opened, and countless demons will pour into the human world, turning the whole world into another hell!"

Johnny: “…”

Carter waited for a long time but didn't respond. He frowned and said, "Are you okay?"

"...Can I give up?" Johnny asked with tears in his eyes. The shock of this news was no less than a lightning strike directly on his forehead. He was obviously just a stuntman, so why did he suddenly

Are you about to become a hero who saves the world?

"Of course, as long as you are willing to watch with your own eyes all the people you love fall into hell and be tortured for eternity." Carter Shirey sneered and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, I'm going to die, and I'll be alive a long time ago.

That's enough, there's no one worth worrying about."

"..."

The corner of Johnny's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.

Carter Shirey glanced at him disappointedly, stood up on the handrail, and walked towards the church with a shovel: "You still have a chance to regret it now. The car is just outside the cemetery. When you think about it, come to the church.

I will teach you how to control the evil spirits within you."

Johnny was sitting alone in the cemetery, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Looking at the desolate and dilapidated scenery around him, countless messy thoughts emerged in his mind, like tangled threads, which made Johnny suddenly feel confused and didn't know what to choose!

...

...

...

As time goes by, the bright moon rises from the sky.

Johnny sat quietly for a whole day without realizing it. The messy thoughts in his mind gradually dissipated and were replaced by a magnetic man's voice, ringing in his heart!

"Johnny, don't be held back by fear!"

"If you don't take charge of your destiny, you will be led by it."

Dominate your destiny, rather than being dominated by it!

This is what his father told him personally before he died!

And these words were like a beacon in the dark night, instantly illuminating the shadow in Johnny's heart and guiding him to a bright road!

"That's right, I can't live in the shadow of the past, let alone be bound by fear!" The light in Johnny's eyes became brighter and brighter, the decadent aura was swept away, and the whole person exuded a vigorous atmosphere like a new life.

: "I want to control my own destiny. Neither Mephisto nor the demons of hell can take away my love!"

Johnny took big steps, pushed the door open and walked into the church. He cast his eyes on the old man sitting under the window and said word by word: "I have decided that I will become the Ghost Rider, protect the Saint Vincent Covenant, and save my life."

Love the people and the world!”

"congratulations."

Carter Shirey's calm face broke out into a smile, his eyes showed a trace of relief, and he said: "In despair, you finally have some chance to resist that shitty fate!"

"Thank you." Johnny shrugged and said, "Aren't you going to teach me how to control the transformation? Which step should I start with? It's better to be simpler and faster."

"It's easy, just stand still and don't move."

A strange smile appeared on Carter Shirey's face, he picked up the shovel and dragged it on the ground and slowly walked towards Johnny.

"Wait...what do you want to do?" Johnny showed a hint of panic on his face, and subconsciously stepped back and leaned against the door.

"Don't be afraid. I'll help you transform. Don't you want the fastest and easiest way?" Carter Shirey said with a smile, holding the heavy shovel tightly in both hands.

Then......

Before Johnny could react, Carter swung the heavy shovel and hit him on the head!

Boom!!!

The shovel almost smashed Johnny's head, and then the hellfire spewed out uncontrollably!

The next moment, Ghost Rider appears.

"Is this what you said?!" Johnny, who became the Ghost Rider, touched the flaming skull head and shouted with lingering fear: "Damn it, do you know that I was almost killed by a shovel? What if?

What if I don’t transform?”

When~

"You asked for the fastest and simplest method. Isn't my method fast enough?" Carter held a shovel in one hand and said calmly: "And it is impossible for anything to happen to you. The fire of hell can repair all injuries."

Facts have proven that taking shortcuts is generally bad.

Johnny, who was at a loss, was furious and raised his middle finger: "Fuck You!"
