At that time, in the middle of the night, they often held oil lamps in their hands, pushed the cart, and piled up the corpses into the shape of a hill.Then in the dim light, it disappeared into people's horrified sight.
For those living in this ignorant age, the Night Watchman has undoubtedly become the embodiment of death.And this is of course, so they began to demonize this profession, making it more and more like the horror characters in those ghost stories.
And even today, the profession of night watchman still hasn't got rid of the terrifying color given to him by the era.Although people knew that most of the legends back then were irrational words driven by ignorance, from a realistic point of view, the night watchman was basically no different from ordinary people.But as long as he is a normal person, when facing such a profession, he will inevitably shrink back three points psychologically.
No one will regard them as ordinary people, because in the eyes of those ordinary people, I am afraid that even if they go to the streets to beg, they will never accept such a job.This is a profession that only freaks would choose, and for a freak, it's not surprising to have such a feeling.
With such reasons, the profession of night watchmen naturally began to decline.In fact, more cemetery guards are now security guards than night watchmen.Of course, this does not mean that the night watchmen are completely extinct.At least here, in this place that has been almost forgotten by the world.There is also a night watchman sticking to his post.
To be honest, such a result really surprised Peter.He really didn't expect that in a big city like Houston, there would be such a profession that could only appear in backcountry and ghost stories.However, he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world.Even the Supreme Mage was walking with him, and a mere night watchman certainly couldn't shock him too much.
He just followed Gu Yi straight to the small wooden house next to the cemetery, and then watched Gu Yi slam the door with the old-fashioned oil lamp three times.
Soon, there was a very obvious sound of walking behind the door.And when the wooden door creaked and was suddenly pulled open, he immediately saw a disheveled old man poking his head out from behind the door.
"Who are you looking for? There are no living people here!"
Peter couldn't help frowning at the very rude voice.For such an impolite guy, his first impression is very bad.Fortunately, he was not the person in charge, so he didn't have to respond directly to this guy.But for Gu Yi, who was already used to seeing all kinds of people, she didn't care about such small things.She just looked at the guy in front of her carefully, and then said to him with a smile.
"We were introduced by old Morgan. He showed us a way and let us find this place!"
"That bastard Williams Morgan? Damn, I thought he was dead!"
The unkempt old man cursed, but the guard and hostility in his eyes faded a lot at this time.Obviously, the old Morgan's name still has a little value to him.Although he still has considerable fear towards these two strangers who are obviously not ordinary people, at the very least, there is already a possibility of communication between them.
"Come in. Tell me why you're here. I don't believe that old bastard who hasn't seen me in over 200 years will know that I'm here. You must have worked hard to find this place. Tell me, Tell me what that bastard asked you to find Old Carter!"
Peter followed Gu Yi into the wooden house. As he imagined, the wooden house was very simple.There wasn't even a table other than a bed and two chairs.And the guy who claimed to be Old Carter didn't mean to pour a cup of hot tea to welcome the guests.Instead, he held a shotgun in his hand and pointed it straight at Gu Yi and the two of them.There is a kind of meaning that if you don't give a reasonable explanation, you can't get out of this door.
This made Peter sneer in his heart, he really never thought that he would meet such an unreasonable guy here.However, it was precisely because of his actions, coupled with the little information he revealed between the lines, that Peter began to doubt his identity.
What makes an old man become the Night's Watch, and still stay here for more than 200 years?Ordinary people do not have this will, nor do they have this ability.Unless he himself is not an ordinary person.
After thinking about this point, Peter said directly to Gu without waiting for him to speak.
"We're here to find Ghost Rider. And it looks like you're the guy, right?"
The straightforward words immediately made the old man snort coldly.He didn't answer directly, but in front of Peter and the others, he shook the saw-barreled shotgun in his hand, and said with a sullen face.
"Ghost Rider? It's been a long time since I've heard that name? Who are you? What do you want with Ghost Rider? Don't tell me you're looking for a relationship with some flaming bastard. I can smell you The smell of blood on your body, guys like you, if you meet a ghost knight, you will be burned into coke and thrown into hell in all likelihood!"
He was not joking.Because neither Peter nor Ancient One are such clean people.
Peter has killed not a few Hydras and criminals over the years.Although he has always believed that punishing evil is promoting good, he has always believed that what he does is just.But, by Ghost Rider's standards, he's also an executioner with bloody hands, a huntable target.
As for Gu Yi, it was even more so.Being able to protect the earth for hundreds of years as the supreme mage, how could she not get her hands dirty at all?Those devils, those descendants of gods, and even those dark wizards plotting to overthrow have all tasted her thunderbolt method.Even today, their souls are still howling in the dimension prison of the Supreme Mage.With all these things, how could she leave Peter alone and be alone?
Of course, neither Peter nor Gu Yi would be afraid to face the trial of the Ghost Rider.They even said that they would be quite happy to see the Ghost Rider running in front of them.This saves them a lot of effort.Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, this is just an unrealistic delusion.
The Ghost Riders have never been the kind of gentlemen who conform to people's wishes.Most of them who have been tortured by the spirit of revenge all year round are paranoid, stubborn, and even crazy.Just like this old guy in front of him.Although he has not yet reached the point of madness, being able to hold a large-caliber dangerous weapon at two people who have never been masked is enough to show how difficult he is to get along with.
Most of this kind of people prefer softness to toughness, and Gu Yi and the others don't have any hard ideas.So after looking at each other for a while, Gu Yi said frankly to the old man in front of him.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Ancient One. People who know me call me the Supreme Mage. I have something very important to discuss with the ghost knights who still exist in the world. Through Mr. Morgan's guidance, I found Here. So, sir. Can you put down the gun in your hand and let's have a good chat? Maybe what you have in your hand is indeed very special, and even the devils may not be able to withstand it. Hurt. But for us, it doesn't do much. Rather than let it become an obstacle to friendly exchanges between us, it is better to let it go and let us talk in a more peaceful way. What do you think?"
"Supreme mage?" Gu Yi's name still has some effect.At the very least, after hearing her self-reported family name like this, the look of fear in the old man's eyes lessened a bit.
"I've heard of you. It's said that even a bastard like Mephisto is afraid of your existence. It's because of you that he doesn't dare to swagger in this world and act recklessly, right?"
"There always needs to be someone standing behind humans, right?
Gu Yi admitted his role in a disguised form, and this also made the old man completely eliminate his hostility, and put down the weapon in his hand.However, even so, his way of speaking has not changed much, even in the face of Gu Yi, he still has the bad tone before.
"As a human being, I thank you for your efforts. But as a Ghost Rider, I have to say, I hate guys like you very much. If it weren't for you, that bastard Mephisto might not have created so many Ghost Riders Come on. In other words, it's all because of you, isn't it?"
"Okay, let's stop talking. I have already admitted that I am the Ghost Rider you are looking for, Kattersrey. I have already admitted my identity. So, do you want to give me your reason for coming?" Have you made it clear?"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Cartersley was a little quick-talking.He admitted his identity directly, and asked Gu Yi and the others about his intentions without any scruples.
Facing his direct performance, Peter felt a little suspicious in his heart.
Because according to Gu Yi, there should be a mutual induction between the ghost knights.But even if he stood face to face with this old man, he still didn't have the slightest feeling of facing the same kind.This made him very suspicious of the authenticity of the old man's words.In addition, the old Carter's impression on him was really not very good.So at the moment, he turned on the old Carter.
"Wait, you say you're the ghost rider we're looking for? How do you prove that?"
"Proof?" With a sneer, Old Carter grabbed Peter's arm directly.And when they got in touch like this, Peter immediately felt the burning taste of the flames from his arms.This is not the damage that ordinary flames can achieve, only the fire of hell can have such power.
Although as a Ghost Rider, he was not afraid of the burning of this hellfire, but what happened right now still made him startled.Because, besides Mephisto, the only ones who can manipulate Hellfire are ghost knights like them.Mephisto is dead, there is no doubt about it.Then there is only one possibility left for the identity of the old man in front of him, and that is Ghost Rider.
To be more precise, this is an extremely weak Ghost Rider.Peter, who didn't feel anything face-to-face, confirmed the identity of Old Carter only after having physical contact.He is indeed Ghost Rider, the Vengeful Spirit.On this point, the hellfire in his body cannot be faked.However, the hellfire he possessed was already very thin, so thin that Peter even doubted whether he could use it to transform into a ghost rider.
He was simply hanging on to his own life by following the magic power of Hellfire. If it wasn't for the maintenance of Hellfire, according to his current physical condition, he would have already been buried in the grave.And the Spirit of Vengeance, a nearly immortal existence, how could it be so rare, this is what really surprised Peter.
He couldn't figure out the reason for this, so naturally, he put his doubtful eyes on Old Carter.And old Carter obviously also noticed the meaning in his eyes, which made a meaningful expression suddenly appear on his face.
"What, boy. Didn't you think of it? Believe me, there are many things in this world that you can't imagine! When you live to my age, you will know that this world is always A surprise is prepared for you. If you can accept it, then naturally everyone will be happy. If you can’t accept it, then hum.”
Just like the annoying tone before, the surprise in Peter's heart was immediately diluted a lot.But out of curiosity, he still couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.
"Why is the fire of hell on your body so thin? The power of the ghost knight shouldn't be so weak."
"The power of the Ghost Rider? Kid, not everyone is as lucky as you, who can regard this endowment as a gift. For the vast majority of Ghost Riders, this power is more like a Curse. As for the curse, would you still be happy with it? No, believe me. You will just be like us, trying every means to get rid of it. Just like I once did."
"In the past 100 years, in order to completely get rid of this curse, I tried every means and finally killed the vengeful spirit in my body. This certainly made me lose most of my power. But no matter what Said, it freed me from this heavy curse, and completely escaped from the clutches of Mephisto. So, I think the price is worth it, don't you?"
"I don't know, I don't feel like you do"
As soon as Peter spoke, Old Carter interrupted him very rudely.
"Of course you don't feel this way, kid. Because you are lucky. I don't know what kind of contract you signed with Mephisto, but I can feel that you don't have that spirit of revenge in your body." The restlessness and madness. You only get their power, but you are not dominated by them, and this is extremely lucky compared to us."
Regarding such a statement, Peter did not deny it.Because he had already discovered the tragic fate of the ghost knights in the past when he received the inheritance of Zatanos.In the hands of Mephisto, Zatanos has a total of more than two thousand hosts.Every Ghost Rider who is boarded by him will become more and more crazy under the restlessness and persecution of his venomous soul.
There are more than 2000 hosts, and almost none of them can die well.It is often not those terrible evil spirits, ruthless devils that lead to their demise.It is the spirit of vengeance that dwells on them.
Zatanos tortured them crazily. This hell lord, who was unwilling to be imprisoned, resisted almost all the time, trying to break free from this cage of souls.As for the cage itself, every resistance is at the expense of the ghost knight's body and soul. The longer the time, the heavier the loss, and in the end, of course, they can't escape a destructive ending. .
Zatanos is like this, presumably the spirit of revenge of other knights will not be much better.No one would be willing to endure such torture and watch themselves go to destruction.So it is completely understandable that they would want to break free from such a fate of destruction.
Peter understood how the old knight felt, and at the same time, he was shocked by what the old knight did.Killing the spirit of revenge in his body was something he had never thought of.Because he knew very well what the Spirit of Vengeance meant to knights.
This is their source of strength and the heaviest thing they can carry.The so-called Ghost Riders are often not acting according to their own intentions.In the confrontation between soul and will, it is difficult for them to fight against the spirit of vengeance they carry.This is why when the night falls, the ghost knights will fly out as soon as they smell the evil breath.At this time, it is the spirit of vengeance that dominates them, not the soul and will of the knight himself.
They are passive and out of a weak position in this respect.For the Vengeful Spirit, the so-called knight is just a temporary consumable, a tool.And a tool actually wants to rebel against the people who use them, isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
No matter how you think about it, this is impossible.The reason for saying this is because it requires not only courage, but also will, wisdom and other aspects.Just fighting a vengeful spirit is already very difficult, but don't forget that there is an old fox, Mephisto, behind it.Destroying the Spirit of Vengeance is only the first step, and it is still an insignificant step.The really important thing is to hide it from Mephisto, so that he will not have any doubts about the destruction of the Vengeful Spirit.
