Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Twenty-one. The contract is in hand

Cyber ​​and Johnny are sitting on the chairs of this tombkeeper's hut. The furnishings in this room are full of the taste of the last century. This is the residence of an immortal who has lived for more than 200 years. It has been given special in time. Meaningful sculptures and collectibles were wiped clean and placed on the shelf. Next to it was a pile of flour and food ordered from the supermarket a few days ago. In front of the sacred angel statue, there was an old ore radio. Saibo vaguely remembered that Dad seemed to have the same one.

If you are a person with enough literature and art, chances are that you can still experience a sense of chaos when time intersects, as if time stopped and progressed here.

Cyber’s question silenced Carter Shrei for a moment. He reached out and took out a very modern pipe from the cabinet next to it. The mouthpiece was covered with a delicate iron ring. He took some The shredded tobacco, compacted on one side, flashed with the light of memories in his eyes, looking like an old man who was immersed in the past.

"When do you start talking?"

Carter leaned back on the chair. At this moment all the weird and lonely emotions of the old man disappeared, replaced by a touch of peace and indifference. He compacted the pipe in his hand and put it to his mouth to smoke. The smoke floats, and in the smoke, Carter begins to tell his story.

"237 years ago, I was a Texas Mounted Policeman. I was the best hunter in this area. No one could escape my hunt. What would it be called here? St. Augustine? Ah, forget it, anyway, I am the best of the patrolling lads. It took only 4 years to become the sheriff, and this desert has completely become my hunting ground."

Carter's eyes soon showed an unhappy look, "But those guys were jealous of my credit. They reported me to their superiors, saying I was corrupt. Well, I did get some ill-gotten wealth from those horse bandits. , But that’s my gain, isn’t it? Anyway, they put me in jail, planned to execute me, and then divide my treasure. They almost succeeded, really!"

He stretched out his little finger and gestured with disdain, "It was just a little bit so close, and then on the night before my death, a weird man appeared in the prison. I knew from his face that he was a bad kind, downright. That kind, but he told me that he could save my life at the cost of paying my soul, which is ridiculous"

Carter coughed a few times.

"At that time, we still used the contract, so when he asked to sign a contract, I didn't think much about it. I thought it was just a silly joke, because I didn't trust him at all! But just when my finger touched the contract At that time, the sharp knife cut open my skin, and blood dripped on the parchment of the contract. I can still remember the lightning flashing outside the window at that time. I saw his shadow, the shadow of the devil!"

Carter Shley’s face showed a trace of fatigue, he rubbed his forehead.

"Then everyone forgot about my sentence. I took advantage of this opportunity to put those who framed me to death one by one, and then started to be my free sheriff again. I thought everything was over. It wasn't until 5 years later, one rainy night, he came again, and he told me he needed me."

"You know, it's actually good to serve the devil."

Carter Sleigh suddenly lowered his voice, and said something not so positive in this sacred place. He smiled like a night owl, "They are very generous, and the devil and their hell only need souls to kill. After the guys he named me to kill, the money of those guys belonged to me, my God, that crazy time, let me think, 30 years, at least 30 years, it’s the best in my life. happy time."

"Unfinished money! A woman who never finishes, never wipes clean blood"

Carter took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and leaned back on the chair, "I will never forget that place until my last mission, the town of São Vangça. The place where I was born is not far from there, I Knowing that place, it is a group of very friendly and kind people. They are like most farmers of that era. They are poor but happily living. The flock of sheep in their village is their most precious wealth. Besides, they are poor. Jingle."

The old man pursed his mouth.

"But the ale there is great. Of course, the food tastes terrible, so I wouldn’t go to places without oil and water, but this time, I had to go. Mephisto told me that he and the people there A contract was signed, and he asked me to accept the contract. I didn't think much about it at the time. I rode my beloved war horse "Karl Porter" and went to the ghost place, and then I saw hell.

"You can never imagine everything I saw that night. Those kind people are like crazy. Even women who have no power to hold a chicken are carrying knives and slashing everyone around them crazy, children. Threw into the fire and burned to death, one-third of the people died in the poisoned water, hell, when I arrived, the killing had already been carried out until no one survived! I watched the burning In the village, the last two people, a woman and an old man, are like beasts, desperately trying to pierce each other's heart with the knife in their hands, but they are father and daughter, oh my god!"

Speaking of this, Carter Sleigh's hand trembled slightly. Even after more than 200 years, the scene of hell he saw that night never left him. He muttered to himself.

"I want to save one. Really I really want to save one. It's too miserable, but I can't. The father bit his daughter’s ear, and the daughter digs out the father’s heart. No one survives. I am close to that The town that has been completely destroyed, in the raging fire in the center of the town, I saw the scroll written in blood, Mephisto’s conspiracy."

"He deceived them that as long as the sacrifice of 3 voluntary souls would bring immortality to all the people in the town, for a funny reason, right? But in that era, everyone was superstitious, plus Mephisto They did that for the demonstrated power, and in the end they got nothing, only the contract, which sealed their tortured soul in the area of ​​San Van Gonzal, unless someone took the initiative to unlock the contract, otherwise They can never escape forever!"

"I got the contract"

Carter Shrei said softly, "I got it without any effort, but I don't know. Should I give him the blood-filled contract? I didn't know what he wanted to do at the time, but later I knew Yes, I simply felt that what was in my hand was so disgusting. You call it a conscience discovery or a sudden awakening. In short, when you see Mephisto with a smile on his face, For the first time I felt that smile was so disgusting! So disgusting!"

"The spirit of vengeance gave me the strength to resist. I resisted, and I ran away with the contract."

The old man leaned on the chair and sighed lightly, "That was probably the only thing I did right in my life, and then the wealthy Carter Sleigh died, and only one survived with a secret. How many secrets does the old man have to go through to spend his life alone? This is really a good question, you know? I have been waiting for you to come."

"why?"

Johnny couldn’t help but ask, while Cyber ​​spoke at the same time but asked another question.

"What does he want to do with that contract?"

Two people with completely different personalities asked completely different questions. Carter Sleigh laughed, he first looked at Cyber, and he whispered,

"Where did you meet Mephisto?"

"Out-of-bounds bar, a lousy place!"

Saibo spread his hands and said, "That place is not far from here, but I am very curious, how can the devil let you live for more than 200 years?"

"It's very simple, because I'm "dead"!"

Carter Sleigh held the pipe in his hand in his mouth and said, "I sent most of the hell fire back to hell, creating an illusion that I was dead. As for Those who didn’t go back were used to support my aging body, coupled with St. Michael’s protection, he couldn’t find me but you went to the bar beyond the border, don’t you find him outside of this world People who enter our world need to pay a price?"

Cyber ​​thought of the bartender in the bar who was shot headshot by him, and he nodded.

"It is said that only a soul can open what the hell door?"

"That's a sacrifice. Summon Mephisto's consciousness to go to the sacrifice of this world. Are you not curious about what the Saint Van Gonzal contract is for? Let me tell you. It is also a sacrifice of thousands. The human soul, the entity that summons the great devil, descends on this world, tears open the barriers of the world, and then builds a hell on earth in Saint Van Gonzal. The best thing is that the people there are willing to sign contracts with the devil, even the supreme mage , Can't stop all of this from happening. Yes, that cunning old dog took advantage of the loophole!"

The old man smiled down and smugly, like a fishy old cat,

"But everything was destroyed by me, hahaha, I really want to see Mephisto's depressed old face."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Johnny again.

"This is why I expect you to come. I'm dying. The remnants of hell fire are almost consumed. I can't hold on anymore. I have been waiting for the next generation of knights to appear. I thought I needed me to use me. The old life came to awaken the spirit of vengeance hidden in your body, but fortunately, I don’t seem to have to make such a big sacrifice."

He stood up, picked up the seemingly inconspicuous shovel in the corner of the wall, and slammed it against the wall. "Bang", the shovel split from the center, revealing the simple scroll with a trace of red lines, Carter He took it out, put it in front of his eyes, shook his head, and threw it to Johnny.

"Then take over the responsibility and mission that I have been carrying for more than 200 years, and protect it!"

Carter Shrei said softly, "Use everything you have, protect it! I know that this time it is the witch heart demon who ran up across the boundary, the most incompetent one of Mephisto's sons, the scene where he was beaten up by the Supreme Master. I can see clearly, under the condition that you cannot violate the precepts of the supreme mage and use power beyond this world, you two are definitely enough to deal with the shaman, go and kill him! So that the proud little bitch knows this The place can't help him, as for Mephisto, he is not a problem."

The old man coughed twice.

"The power he appears to appear in this world with the appearance of his descending is not as powerful as the witch heart demon. If he dares to descend physically, the Supreme Mage will make him look good."

"Hey, Johnny, let me see it!"

Saibo suddenly said, Johnny froze and nodded. Undoubtedly, he handed out the scroll in his hand. Saibo took it in his hand and put the scroll in front of him.

"Oh, look, how horrible this little thing can create a real hell in the world."

He sighed, and then naturally stuffed the scroll into his pocket, patted the non-existent dust on his body, showing a full smile on his face.

"Then, thank you, Carter Shree, and you, Johnny, I thought it was so hard to find."

"Syber, you!"

Johnny felt something was wrong, but the black shadow in front of him in human form flashed, and Saber’s punch hit his neck. Johnny’s body shook and fell on his back. Saber didn’t even look at him. Johnny, he reached out and heard the sound of kaka. He turned his head and saw Carter Sleigh holding a black, exquisite old-fashioned riding lance, whose black muzzle was aimed at him. Heart.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Carter Sleigh was almost crazy. He seemed to pull the trigger at any time with excitement, but Saibo pulled down the brim of his hat, grinning from the corner of his mouth.

"Stop teasing, old man, the ghost rider can't change during the day, right?"

"How do you know?"

"I played against Johnny head-on"

Saibo raised his head, his eyes became extremely cold, "I took his bones into more than 300 pieces with my bare hands. I saw with my own eyes the flames on his body went out when the first rays of sunlight rose."

He walked forward, resting his chest on the muzzle, and he reached out and patted Carter Sley’s shoulder.

"You are old, pay attention to your body taking advantage of the remaining time to take a good rest, no one will blame you."

The old man glared at Saibo ferociously, as if he wanted to tear him apart and eat him completely.

"why?"

Faced with this kind of questioning, Saibo shrugged, "I'm dying, is this answer enough to save my life?"

"But the world will become hell because of this!!!"

"Haha, what does that have to do with me?"

Carter Sleigh's complexion turned pale, and at the same time, in a house full of debris in faraway Manhattan, the room was full of dense smoke. A man and a woman rolled on the bed in a very intimate manner. It seemed that when they were in love, but when they were preparing to go further, the man was suddenly pulled up from the bed by a force. A pale yellow portal with sparks appeared behind him, and he was hardened. Threw it in raw.

"Help me do something John!"

The man struggled, he looked at the already terrified beauty on the bed, he smiled at her,

"Hi, baby, wait for me, I will be back at most 1 day, and then continue ours"

"Om"

Before he finished speaking, he was swallowed by the closed portal.

"No! You damn old woman"
