Chapter 351: The Root Cause (Thank you for your monthly ticket support, plus a new chapter)
As a professional journalist, Rosanne Simpson is still very good at researching materials, but in just one morning, she found more than a dozen possible locations of St. Van Gonza, and before everyone could shrink these places, Johnny Blazer's face immediately changed when he saw the name of a place.
Two hours later, Ling Xiao and Jonathan followed Johnny Blazer to a remote cemetery in the southwestern suburbs of San Francisco, where they were now standing in front of a tombstone in the cemetery, and the name engraved on the tombstone was Barton Blazer, Johnny's father.
This time, because of the danger that may be encountered, Roshan was persuaded by Johnny to stay in the city, after all, this time he was facing a powerful devil, in case of an accident, Johnny would not regret dying.
Although she has always been screaming from her ex-boyfriend and ex-boyfriend, Roshan is still single, and her feelings for Johnny are naturally self-evident, so she rarely stayed in the city very obediently and did not come with the three of them.
After visiting his father, Johnny took Ling Xiao and the two towards the grave keeper's hut, and outside the house, they saw the grave keeper of this cemetery, it was an extremely ordinary looking old man, gray hair, old face, sloppy like the dress of the 50s of the last century, holding a shovel in his hand, as if tidying up the small garden behind the hut.
Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning when he saw this old man, he smelled the same Hellfire smell on his body as Johnny Blazer, and Johnny himself was also aware of this.
"You're finally here!" The old man stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and looked at the three Johnny who were standing not far away, his gaze swept over Ling Xiao and Jonathan, and finally landed on Johnny, smiled lightly, and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Johnny!" ”
"Hello, Carter." Johnny bowed slightly to Carter, the grave keeper, who deserved his respect for helping to take care of Johnny's father for so many years.
Carter, the grave keeper, smiled slightly, and said to the three of them, "Do you know that 150 years ago, there was a small village called St. Van Gonza, a nice village, a nice village, until a stranger came and made a contract with the villagers. Driven by greed, they filled each other until their bodies were drenched in blood, and their souls were forever trapped in that remote corner. ”
Sitting in the cabin, Carter poured everyone a cup of hot tea before continuing: "There's a Texas Ranger named Carter Slay, who is said to be a man of integrity, but in fact he is too greedy. While he was arrested and imprisoned and awaiting execution, a stranger came to visit him, offering him freedom in exchange for a contract with him, and finally wearing the Grim Police. ”
After saying this, how could the three people present not know that the grave keeper in front of Carter was the Texas Ranger named Carter Slay.
A hint of self-deprecation flashed on Johnny's face, Carter's experience was very similar to his own experience, they were all in a desperate situation, providing a helping hand to strangers, signing a contract, but exchanging souls, and finally being toyed with by life.
Shaking his head slightly, Johnny put aside the distractions in his mind and asked Carter, "Then what does this mounted police officer have to do with that village?" ”
"Remember the contract that stranger made with the name of the village of St. Vangonza?" At the mention of the Saint Van Gonza Contract, Ling Xiao and the three of them suddenly became interested, only to hear Carter continue: "Legend has it that Shi Lei was sent to the village to collect souls, but he found that everything was too evil, so in the end he took the contract and ran away. He stole it so that the devil of all evil could not touch it. ”
Carter, the grave keeper, showed a hint of indescribable pride in his eyes, and he took a light breath before he continued: "Some people say that he went into the coffin with that contract, and some people say that he hid it in a place where no one knows, and no one will know. ”
Carter's words were clearly telling the three of them that he would not tell the three of them where the contract was hidden.
Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at Johnny, he and Jonathan didn't matter, but Johnny was different, Johnny needed to use it to get his soul back from Mephisto's hands,
"We don't have to get that contract." Johnny said in some surprise, "But we will never allow the Witchheart to get that contract. ”
"Don't worry, he won't be able to get in here." Carter chuckled, did he really think that he had spent hundreds of years in vain, in this huge cemetery, there had already been layers of church prohibitions, where was it so easy for the witch demon to enter the cemetery.
"But the bishop of St. Michael's church was slain by the witch-hearted demon himself in the church." Ling Xiao stared straight at Carter and asked, "Can you guarantee that he will never be allowed to enter here?" ”
"Something happened to the church?" Hearing this news, Carter's face changed instantly, in terms of his understanding of the devil, Carter is no better than the church that fought with the devil, a bishop of the church was killed by the devil in the church, such a thing is almost sensational.
"Yes. You can stay here, but at my command. Carter finally changed his mind, although he was stubborn but not pedantic, if he really let the witch demon rush into the cemetery and snatch the St. Van Gonza contract, he would be dead and could not forgive himself.
As the sun sets, the afterglow envelops the entire earth, Ling Xiao stood outside the hut, looking at the cemetery in front of him, after this period of familiarity, he faintly noticed that all the tombstones in the cemetery were arranged according to certain rules, a bit similar to the formation, once activated, even Ling Xiao himself, it was difficult to break into it, so it was not unreasonable for Carter to say so confidently that the witch demon could not enter.
"Ling, what are you thinking?" Jonathan didn't know when he stood behind Ling Xiao, and asked with curiosity.
"Jonathan, you said that St. Vangonza's contract is really that powerful?" Ling Xiao turned around, looked at Jonathan and asked, "Even if it really has the power of thousands of evil souls, I believe it is definitely not enough for the Witch Heart Demon to challenge Mephisto, you must know that it is a Hell Lord who is famous in the entire hell, and he has thousands of evil demons under his command." ”
"According to my brother-in-law's words, it should be a qualitative change caused by quantitative change." Jonathan looked sideways at Ling Xiao and said in his own words: "Think about it, if a person's strength in this world is calculated as a hundred catties, then a thousand people are a hundred tons of power, I don't think even Hulk has such a strong strength." If he is allowed to obtain this contract, and the power of more than a thousand evil souls is attributed to himself, it is inevitable that his strength will skyrocket. ”
"If you add to this his own strength, it is not impossible to challenge Mephisto's position." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and glanced at Jonathan, both of whom couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, neither of them has much contact with the power of the devil, and there are not many standards to refer to, although they have fought against the wind demon, the earth demon and the water demon before, but the power of the three-headed devil is still inferior to Ling Xiao and Jonathan.
Whether it is Ling Xiao or Jonathan, they have not taken out their hole cards in the previous two battles, perhaps the same is true for the wind demon, earth demon and water demon, although they have fought each other, but they all know in their hearts that it is not yet the time for a decisive battle, and no one is absolutely sure to kill each other. And for the three-headed devil, the place where they fought before was not conducive to their play, and their true strength was not fully displayed.
For the three of Ling Xiao, what they really need to worry about is the Witch Heart Demon, if they are given the opportunity to carry out a sneak attack, it will be difficult for the three of them to be safe and sound.
Maybe tonight is an opportunity to kill one or two devils, looking at the cemetery in front of him, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth.
Even though he has entered the 21st century, for the old Carter, his habits are still a century ago.
As night fell, candles flickered in the hut, and in such a large cemetery, since there was not a single electrical appliance, all candles were used for lighting.
Suddenly, the two candles at the entrance of the cemetery were extinguished, and the sound of a cold wind sweeping away the leaves was heard throughout the cemetery.
Here comes the devil!
