Chapter 236: 20. The truth?

"Who is this?"
Johnny also wore big sunglasses. He stood behind Cyber ​​and looked at the tombstone. "Carter Shire, the name is familiar..."
"He is your predecessor, Johnny, the last generation of knights. In this desert, his story will almost become a legend."
Cyber ​​stood up and knocked on the tombstone behind him, "It is said that he is dead, but I don't think he is. A person who dares to deal with the devil and dare to grab something from the devil is not so easy to die. This It's just covering eyes and ears, the old man must be hiding in other places."
After he finished speaking, he turned and looked at him. Under the shade of a tree not far behind him and Johnny, he wore a dirty look, with a broken cowboy hat of the last century, leaning on a handful of graveyard guards often used Tie Sho's old man was looking at them playfully.
Cyber ​​raised his hand and waved at him,
"Hey, Carter Shree, am I right?"
"Damn it!"
It seemed that the old man who could see God at any time slobbered fiercely, and rudely gestured his towards Cyber,
"What are you still doing there? Two rookies who can't even conceal your breath, do you know that spicy chickens like you represent a lot of soul gold coins in the eyes of those hunters, and you haven't been caught? People are hacked to death and have to say that fool's luck is really good."
He rolled his eyes, carried his shovel, turned and pushed open the door of the tombkeeper's cabin, waved his head to Cyber ​​and Johnny, the two of them walked forward step by step and walked in under the leadership of the old man Small house.
Although this old man who has lived for more than 200 years looks sloppy, his house is unexpectedly clean and tidy, and even has a warm and sacred feeling, because just inside the house, a house and St. Michael are erected. The deity in Le Chapel is an identical angel image, and I don’t know if it is an illusion. Cyber ​​always feels that this angel looks strange.
It seems...it seems that there are eyes watching the world through the eyes of the angel.
"Tea or coffee?"
The fierce old man glanced at the two men and raised two jars to ask, Johnny asked subconsciously,
"Is there beer?"
The old man glared at him and said teasingly, "Drinking is not allowed in the Holy Land, but I will give you a glass of juice, Xiaomabao."
Johnny froze for a moment, shrugging his shoulders, "Then whatever, you old man."
Cyber's concern was obviously another. He rubbed his chin and asked,
"Holy land? What is this holy land?"
The old man's movements were interrupted by this question. He followed Cyber's eyes and saw the well-maintained angel. He tilted his head,
"The old site of St. Michael's Church, 220 years ago, the first landing point of the archangel came to earth... one of the holy places in this country, you also found it right? You little slider, hey, don't Look at the incarnation of the holy angel with that impolite look, you know, she can see you!"
"Ok?!!"
Cyber ​​suddenly recovered, he frowned. "What do you mean?"
"What else can it mean?"
The old man came over with two cups of hot tea, placed it in front of the eyes of the two, raised his legs, reached for the cigar handed over by Saiber, sniffed it under his nose, and his wrinkled face appeared With a satisfied expression, he comfortably lit the cigar on the oil lamp next to him and swallowed the smoke.
"You have seen the devil, and you may have signed a contract. You have entered the reality under the absurd appearance of this world. Boy, if there is a devil, can there be no angel? If the devil can enter this world, can't an angel? "
The sand content of this sentence is a bit large, and Cyber ​​and Johnny are both at the same time thinking. The old man flicked soot on one side, and changed a more comfortable posture,
"But don’t worry, the world is under the supervision of a strong presence, whether it’s an angel or a devil, they are all guests... guests have to follow the master’s arrangement, and there will indeed be some crazy people who believe in power, but that is Small probability event, believe me, you may not encounter it once in your life."
"Hey, you live a safe life, as long as you have been so peaceful."
The old man rudely picked up the water in front of him and drank it, letting the clear water stand on his messy beard, he looked at Johnny, and there was a trace of ridicule in the corner of his mouth. There was a doubt,
"Wait, you... the power in you seems incomplete, you didn't sign the contract?"
Cyber ​​shrugged, took the contract Mephisto gave him from his arms, and the thing was wrapped in black goatskin, with golden gilt edges, and it looked gorgeous. He threw the thickness of those on the table ,
"Yes, I didn't sign it!"
"Damn it!"
The old man made a big slur, he straightened his body and pointed at Cyber's eyes, "Let me see your eyes!"
Cyber ​​took off his sunglasses, his eyes widened,
"Is that so?"
"Asshole! The real kind!"
The old man looked a little irritable. Cyber ​​had snapped his fingers. The crimson flames and dark red eyes appeared at this moment, but at the moment when this power appeared, there was a soft power around the image that day, It appeared with a gentle light, but it was extremely overbearing, and pressed the pupil that Cyber ​​completely released into his eyes.
But it didn't hurt him...
"Evil forces are not allowed in this holy place... But you really surprised me!"
The old man drew his cigar in his mouth and took a hard breath. He looked at Cyber's eyes as if he saw a rare treasure,
"It's unbelievable that without the help of Mephisto's will, you can suppress some of the restlessness of the Spirit of Vengeance and make it limited for your use. How did you do it?"
"Uh..."
Cyber ​​thought for a while, "Exercise 4 hours a day, do you study more and do better?"
"Go! You guile!"
The old man scolded fiercely, and he focused his attention on Johnny again. At this look, the old man showed a strange expression again.
"You are also a freak...he took your soul, but failed to take away your heart and will, and it is not the fire of that dominates you. I even felt the revenge of the spirit of revenge on you. Trace...wow, today seems to be my lucky day."
After that, the old man whistled happily, but what he said confuses Cyber ​​and Johnny. Johnny asks,
"Wait! What is the fire of hell? What is the spirit of vengeance? Why did Cyber ​​make you so excited when he didn't sign a contract? Hell, can you tell us all at once? By the way, are you Carter. mine?"
"Of course I am, boy."
The old man picked up the Bible next to him and whispered while looking at it,
I’m Carter Shree. There is no doubt that I also know that you have many questions to ask, but don’t worry, I’ll do it little by little. Tell you."
"First of all, I want to say, don’t listen to Mephisto’s lies! The power in the body of the three of us is not from him at all, he is just a disgusting liar, a pretender, a reptile-like mess! You signed it The contract has nothing to do with your ability to awaken! I’m talking about you, Johnny Blazer!"
Carter's eyes became mysterious and deep, he pointed to Johnny,
"Even if you don't sign the contract, you can call the vengeful spirit to lean over at a suitable time, because you have talent, you are the chosen person, Mephisto let you sign the contract just to control in advance Live your soul and let you use it for him, as if he had deceived me, the bastard!"
"Who?"
Johnny asked subconsciously that Cyber ​​had raised his ears too. The old man looked at them and pointed to the statue of the angel standing there.
"Being an angel?"
Johnny asked stupidly, but the old man was confused directly with the Bible,
"Damn it! It's God!"
"It is said that the earliest batch of vengeful spirits is the sword of punishment in heaven. In the distant past, when human civilization was still in its infancy, God sent the vengeful spirit to the world in the form of fire and rain. The second method of monitoring the world after the Great Flood... Oh, don’t look at me like that, I don’t believe him, I will say, God is a Bichi!"
This sentence caused Cyber ​​to almost spout the tea in his mouth. He should have thought that the old man in front of him could tell from the tone of his speech that he did not believe in anything at all.
"The angel statue was also an accidental spoil for the bandits when I was a Texas Mounted Police. It is said that it was the holy thing recovered from the Holy Land Jerusalem during the Crusades, and I don’t know how it fell in this place, but ...I did see the scene where she came to this world with this stone figure as the coordinate."
The old man proudly raised eyebrows at Cyber ​​and Johnny,
"I'm the first person in this world to talk and laugh with the archangel in nearly 200 years."
"Then the question is coming...Why is God's Spirit of Vengeance controlled by Mephisto?"
Johnny asked again, the old man frowned on this question,
"I don’t know. I don’t know the specific situation. It is said that the spirit of vengeance has forgotten its duties and changed from maintaining balance to punishing all evil. Do you know? If you do one thing too absolutely Not a good thing. In the eyes of the fallen vengeful spirit, even a little bit of sin will be punished by death."
He pursed his lips, "It's terrifying...you can think that the spirit of vengeance is crazy, so it's actually not a good thing to lean over him. Anyway, when I became a knight of evil spirits, my mind was always chaotic, I will always subconsciously look for guilty people to try them."
"That power is difficult to control, but it should be, after all, how can the spirit of mortals fight the spirit of revenge..."
Carter Slay said with a sad expression on his face. He shrugged and continued,
"But I can be sure, God... uh, maybe Zeus or Odin or something, they're gone... they left this world and are said to have been evicted by the powerful person who monitored the world, uh, There is also a saying that it was the Supreme Master who destroyed Mount Olympus, other gods were afraid, they took the initiative to leave this world, in short... faith is good, but those believers don’t know that their It is impossible for the gods to respond to them."
There was a playful light in the old man's eyes,
"No matter who... there may be remaining gods in this world, but they are no longer the masters of this world, and we are no longer lambs, which is a good thing, isn't it?"
"Okay, let me talk, what the are my eyes?"
Cyber ​​asked, the old man stretched out and shook them before their eyes.
"The complete evil knight is composed of the spirit of vengeance, the fire of hell, and the host. The boy Johnny is the complete knight. His soul is controlled by Mephisto, and his body is still tainted by the polluted and fallen vengeance. Spirit, and he can mobilize the power of the fire of hell, that kind of red flame, the temperature is extremely high! His eyes are the eyes of confession, the most terrifying weapon of every evil spirit knight."
"But you are not. There is no crazy vengeful spirit in your body. It must be that Mephisto is a ghost of a cunning guy. Even if the vengeful spirit is crazy, he can't control them, so he used A method of turning around, fooling you into signing a contract, then controlling your soul, and finally giving you the power of the vengeful spirit completely, and controlling the vengeful spirit for his use by controlling your soul."
Carter Leigh talked eloquently, he pointed to Cyber's eyes,
"When you don’t sign the contract, he will not give you the complete vengeance spirit. In my experience, your eyes are only a small part of the power of the vengeance spirit, although I don’t know how you control it. It's, but it seems to be available for you now. It is estimated that the old dog can't take it back, which is a good thing. By the way, you have to be careful about the contract. The treacherous old man has magic on the top of the contract. As long as the finger touches, the wound will be cut open, and blood will drip on the contract, that is, the contract is established..."
The old man patted the table indignantly, "That's how the old man was pitted!"
Johnny touched his nose a bit unnaturally, "Uh, I was tricked like this."
"Then this contract?"
Cyber ​​picked up the scroll, and the old man waved his hands in disgust. "You can take it to wipe the buttocks. That stuff is useless except dedicating your soul to the devil, but you have to pay attention, You don’t have the support of a complete vengeful spirit in your body. The ability to ignite evil souls in those eyes is best used less. If your will is not firm enough, you may be made into a madman who can only drink porridge for the rest of his life. "
"Huh... rest assured, for this power of unknown origin, I will not be stupid enough to let it control me, I am not so weak."
Cyber ​​breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that the eyes were harmless, his heart lifted down, and he looked at Carter Shree,
"Then talk about you, the story of your contract with San Van Gonzaga."
