“In the story that the old man told, didn’t the final Ghost Rider escape with the contract of San Venganza? And isn’t Blackheart’s goal of seeking greater power and taking his father Mephisto’s place to obtain that contract? So, Blackheart will surely continue to try and prevent Johnny from chasing him.” Lin Rui replied with a wise look in his eyes under Bucky’s questioning.
“So?……”
“So, if Blackheart can’t handle Ghost Rider, what about Johnny? He’s just an ordinary person, and ordinary people have many weaknesses,” Lin Rui continued, not paying attention to Bucky’s continued confused expression.
“What do you mean……”
“If I were Blackheart, I would look into the important people and things in Johnny’s life and use them to blackmail him. After all, you saw Ghost Rider’s performance just now and it’s clear that Johnny is still influenced by his human self. This is why I think Blackheart would try to use these vulnerabilities against Johnny,” Lin Rui finally explained his thoughts fully.
“You mean… Roxanne?!” Hearing this, after all, he was finally fully enlightened.
“That’s right, it’s not effective for us to chase after Ghost Rider since he will turn back into Johnny during the day. But if Blackheart really does try to use the tactics I mentioned, we can continue to monitor Johnny’s residence and be ready for any potential threats from h.e.l.l,” Lin Rui said as he skillfully turned the steering wheel.
“Jackson, I have to say that your intelligence is above average. And if those h.e.l.l visitors do appear, do you plan on taking action against them?” Bucky asked with some emotion after listening to Lin Rui’s complete a.n.a.lysis.
“If Johnny doesn’t realize the danger and take steps to protect Roxanne, then I may have to intervene. Protecting the people we care about is important,” Lin Rui replied with a twinkle in his eyes as he drove towards Johnny’s residence.
“That’s true, it might be a good idea to get some more powerful weapons just in case. We can’t let our guard down,” Bucky spoke after hearing Lin Rui’s words and he also agreed with Bucky’s suggestion.
“Haha, those visitors from h.e.l.l might not be as scary as we think. With the right weapons, we might be able to take them out with just one shot,” Bucky said with a chuckle. It’s important to be prepared for any potential threats, but it’s also important to maintain a sense of confidence and optimism.
Hoo hoo!
In this way, while Ghost Rider was busy defeating the Wind Demon and breaking through the police blockade to reach the old man’s cemetery, Lin Rui and Bucky returned to Johnny’s residence to continue their vigil.
The police, on the other hand, were busy cleaning up the battlefield and trying to regain their composure. Captain Dolan and Agent Edward had already returned to their offices at the police station. It’s important to be vigilant and prepared for any potential threats, but it’s also important to know when to trust in the capabilities of those who are trained to handle such situations.
“Agent Edward, have you ever encountered a situation like this before?” Seeing the flaming skeleton with his own eyes, Captain Dolan’s understanding of the world was on the brink of collapsing.
“No, I’m just a low-level agent in SHIELD. But our backup should be here soon,” Agent Edward replied with a wry smile, shaking his head in response to Captain Dolan’s question.
“Do you think SHIELD’s support will be able to handle this situation?” Captain Dolan asked, aware that SHIELD has many powerful individuals, such as superheroes who can withstand alien invasions, but this particular situation seemed more supernatural in nature.
“I’m not sure about that now. But they are more powerful than us. Plus, I’ve already reported the situation and there should be a corresponding solution. We just need to try to maintain the status quo,” Agent Edward said, trying to rea.s.sure Captain Dolan’s worries.
“I’m not sure if we can sustain this situation.”
“By the way, it seems that the flaming skeleton had a response to the reporter. Can you tell me more about her?”
…
The Ghost Rider rode his bike through the night and arrived at the cemetery where the old man was. However, he found that Blackheart had already beaten the old man and was attempting to extract information about the whereabouts of a contract from him.
Despite the old man’s refusal to reveal this information, Blackheart eventually left with Wallow (the Demon of Water). It was similar to what Lin Rui had suspected, Blackheart had plans to attack the people close to Johnny.
The old man reminded Johnny that Blackheart may be planning to attack Roxanne. In response, Johnny quickly returned to his bike. However, he knew that he would not be able to catch up with Blackheart and the Water Demon.
As the evening approached and the sunset in the west, Lin Rui stood on the roof near Johnny’s residence, looking down at Roxanne as she got out of her car. He muttered, “Roxanne is indeed here, and Johnny’s agent is also in his residence. If Blackheart were to come at this time, both of them would be in grave danger.”
As the evening approached, Roxanne, who had already been sought out by the Police Captain, couldn’t resist coming to look for Johnny. Before Roxanne arrived, Johnny’s manager, Mack, had already come. Mack was unaware of the situation and only knew that Johnny had been taken away by the police and was now missing.
After meeting Mack at Johnny’s apartment, Roxanne began searching for the reason behind Johnny’s strange behavior. As she was flipping through the books that Johnny had read in an attempt to control the flames within his body, she suddenly felt a chill coming from behind her.
Hoo!
Feeling the coolness emanating from behind her, Roxanne immediately turned to see who was there. She saw a pale man in a black windbreaker standing behind Mack. When Roxanne looked at the man, he smiled at her with his lips slightly raised. However, this smile was terrifying. It was Blackheart, who had come to visit and no words were needed to explain his presence.
Brush!
As he smiled at Roxanne, Blackheart reached out and thrust his hand into Mack’s back. If Mack were to be stabbed, a large amount of sulfur would pour into his body, causing him to suffer a miserable death within seconds.
Bang Bang Bang!
However, just as Roxanne watched in horror and shouted a warning to Mack, a burst of rapid gunfire filled the room. Blackheart, who had been shooting at Mack, was directly repelled by more than a dozen bullets that were fired from the side. His hand did not successfully enter Mack’s back.
“Mack! Be careful!” Roxanne shouted out in warning.
“Ah!!” Hearing Roxanne’s shout, Mack snapped out of his stunned state and screamed as he ran away from Blackheart.
Even if they didn’t know who Blackheart was, it was clear from the cold aura he exuded and the fact that he only took a few steps back after being hit by a bullet that he was not a normal person.
“Who?!” Shaking off a dozen bullets that had struck his windbreaker, Blackheart shouted angrily after being interrupted.
Hoo!
As Blackheart yelled, he also revealed his true face, which was a horrifying sight to behold.
