"Thank you, Bobby... We know, and we will handle it carefully. Sam hung up the phone carefully, and then rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly. He had not slept all night. He had been flipping through the pages all night Various information, hoping to find the reason why Johnny turned into a demon.
Demon hunters all know that demons and humans are completely different species. Demons can bestow certain powers on humans, but humans are humans and demons are demons! It is impossible to confuse the two, and there is no such thing as a human soul degenerating into a demon! This is all a lie.
But what happened to Johnny was beyond the realm of demons giving power to humans!

He completely turned into a devil!
This was something Sam didn't think he would admit. He didn't understand how this could happen. So he asked Bobby for help. In the field of demon hunters, Bobby is definitely a master. Perhaps in battle, old Bobby is no longer as brave as he once was, but in terms of experience, he is an encyclopedia.
At night Sam tells Bobby what happened to Johnny and seeks answers.
Bobby didn't dare to neglect it. Although he had never heard of such a thing, Bobby had a lot of books! These books are not the kind of books found in libraries outside, but various manuscripts, some of which can even be traced back to around the first century. I don’t know where Bobby got those books.
In short, Bobby spent the whole night searching among the old papers, and finally found some clues.
When Sam put down the phone, Dean came out of the bedroom with Johnny. After another night of sleep, Johnny was finally able to recover from the soreness and weakness all over his body. Although his face was still pale, he was able to walk at least.
"How was it? What did Bobby say?" Dean asked.
Sam glanced at Johnny distressedly, then shook his head: "Let's talk about it together when Kai comes, we just have to have a good discussion."
After saying that, he picked up the book and started reading. If you weren't there, you would meet Dean and Johnny.
Dean glanced at Johnny awkwardly. He could tell that Sam didn't like Johnny. Dean understands this. After all, Johnny has become a demon. To be honest, he couldn't accept it. But compared to Sam's rejection, Dean is much better because he likes Johnny Show!
While not a huge fan, he does enjoy The Johnny Show. Dean is very much a typical southern redneck and has similar hobbies. He originally planned to get close to Johnny, and it would be best to get some photos and autographs, which could be used to pick up girls in the future, but... the current atmosphere was a bit inappropriate. So I could only lower my voice and pretend to be deep.
Johnny also felt Sam's rejection of him.
But he couldn't say anything, after all...he himself also rejected what happened to him.
He prayed now, praying that Sam and the others could help him, solve this problem, and return to normal.
Just when the three of them were having their own thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
Sam immediately stepped forward and opened the door. It was Kai.
He brought Ah Fu over, and they both carried a lot of things.
Dean's eyes lit up and he asked what the food tasted like.
Sure enough, the two brought a lot of food.
Then Kai introduced Ah Fu to the two of them.
Dean and Sam look like 'rich people are good', and they even have a butler.
After that, Ah Fu went to the kitchen to finish the semi-finished products that had been packed away in advance.
The others were in the living room, talking about Johnny's problems.
"Bobby has figured out why what happened to Johnny."
It turns out that Bobby found a record in a handwritten ancient book about the Ghost Rider, which is what Sam wanted to say.
"Do you know why Mephisto wants your soul?"
"Mephisto?" Johnny was a little stunned. Who is this?
"It's the devil who signed a contract with you!" Sam explained helplessly. In fact, this was the first time he knew this name. It was ridiculous to say that this devil had been entangled with the Winchester family for more than twenty years, but they only knew the name of this devil now...
It's a bit embarrassing.
But Sam feels that this is an important step in their revenge!
At least you know Mephisto's name, right?
"I know something about that demon..." Kai said, raising his hand.
Sam and Dean turned their heads and stared at him. They knew that this demon was very ancient, and his name was Mephisto, and the rest... wasn't written in the book.
"He is called Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, one of the rulers of the demon world, a very powerful demon. His clone wanders around the world all year round, absorbing fallen souls, making deals with people, playing with people's hearts, and taking away Take pleasure in being traded for what is most precious to you.”
After Mephisto appeared, Kai went to find Ancient One and wanted to know why this demon was wandering around the earth so unscrupulously. You know, Karma Taj's attitude towards demons has always been that they should let the minor characters go. After all, there are too many humans, and they also like to seek death. There are always some idiots who will worship demons... I don't know what they think. So for millions of years, there have been too many demons coming to the earth. If you are not careful, these demons will run out of the corners, and Kamathaj will not be able to control them at all.
But if those big demons with names want to come, it will be different. Like the blessed Virgin Lilith, wouldn't she be beaten up by Kama Taj?
Because a demon lord appeared on Earth, the damage caused was too great, so great that Kamar-Taj could not accept it.
But Mephisto...
Ancient One gave an explanation. Mephisto is special. He has abilities that other demon lords do not have.
Thousands of incarnations.
This old thing can split into endless clones. These clones are not strong, so it is easy to come and it is impossible to defend against them. ‘6’‘9’‘s’‘h’‘u’‘x’‘.’‘c’‘o’‘m’Don’t think that these incarnations are weak, but the damage they can cause is not small at all. The key is that these things communicate directly with the main body and can transform from weak chickens to big dinosaurs at any time.
How to play this?
It is simply impossible to defend against.
If you kill an incarnation, Mephisto will not suffer any loss. If you neglect it, one of the incarnations will directly transform, that will be a lot of fun.
So, the Supreme Sorcerer simply ran directly to the demon world and caught Mephisto and beat him up!
As for why Mephisto was not killed directly, the reason was helpless. It was not that Mephisto could not be killed, but in Mephisto's domain, he was immortal. Even if he was killed, he would be reborn again in a few worlds. This was very annoying.
So the Supreme Sorcerer could only sign a humiliating treaty with Mephisto. Mephisto could go to Earth, but he had to be strictly restricted.
Mephisto had been making small moves over the years, and that was also the reason.
For Kamar-Taj, the sacrifice of some individual humans was nothing. They valued humanity as a whole. Of course, if the Kamar-Taj wizard encountered the incarnation of Mephisto, there was no doubt that he would be killed. There was no reason to argue about this.
In short, Mephisto was very difficult to deal with.
Sam and Dean felt at a loss after listening to Kai's information about Mephisto.
How could they take revenge?
Johnny was even more desperate. Mephisto was so awesome, so wouldn't he be doomed?
"Why does he want my soul?" Johnny felt wronged.
"Because you are Ghost Rider." Sam licked his dry lips, and his voice seemed to be much hoarse.
"There are actually legends about Ghost Rider all over the world, but most of them appear in the form of demons. To be precise, Ghost Rider is indeed a demon. Legend has it that a long time ago, God sent an angel to the earth to protect the human world and fight against an ancient elemental demon named Zatanos who was endangering the world at that time. The battle was tragic, but the angel still won. But when Zatanos was killed, his elemental essence also infected the angel. If it was just like this, things would not get bad. But Mephisto saw an opportunity, so he launched a conspiracy. The angel was deceived, captured, and caught in hell. He was constantly tempted by the devil and lost his faith. His soul was polluted. Therefore, the task of protecting mankind became a desire to punish the wicked. He became a vengeful soul, that is, the spirit of vengeance."
"Angel..." Johnny felt that he had discovered another element. "Are there really angels?"
If there are angels, is there salvation? After all, there are demons, and there seems to be nothing wrong with angels. Isn't it natural that angels can restrain demons?
But unfortunately, his luck was soon broken.
"No!" Dean said firmly.
If you want to say which group in the world does not believe in God the most, it is undoubtedly the demon hunters.
Isn't it ironic?
A group that specializes in dealing with all kinds of demons and monsters does not believe in God at all.
But the fact is indeed so.
The reason is very simple. The demon hunter group has only seen all kinds of demons and monsters harming people, but has never seen any angel sister come out to help! If there is a God, why does God never punish those demons that harm people? If God really exists, why does he let so many of his believers and demons kill?
The longer you work in the demon hunter business, the less people believe in God.
"Ah..." Johnny was at a loss, a little at a loss, there are demons.
Kai had to explain: "The demons we are talking about now are different from the demons in religion. They are actually creatures from another dimension. It's okay for you to think of them as aliens, but these aliens just like to eat human souls."
"Then the angels we just talked about..."
"In ancient times, people liked to mythicize things they didn't understand. Maybe this angel is an alien with superpowers. Anyway, it depends on how you understand it, but it shouldn't have anything to do with God." Sam said disdainfully.
This disdain is not for those ancient people, but for God.
A fake thing has been cheating for so many years.
"Let's get back to the point. In short, although the Ghost Rider is vicious, it also targets guilty people."
Johnny felt much more comfortable all of a sudden. He is not a good boy. Killing bad people is always easier to accept than killing good people.
"Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Ghost Rider...it seems that no one is innocent."
Johnny suddenly became depressed. Speaking...can he say it all at once?
"Why me?" This is the question Johnny cares about most now.
"This..." Sam hesitated and said, "It is said that in ancient times there was a man named Kyle who sealed the Spirit of Vengeance. After that, every eldest son of the Kyle family will have the ability to communicate with the Spirit of Vengeance and possess his power. This can be considered a curse."
"Well, it's very likely, because this also explains the biggest reason why Mephisto tried to control you. After all, on Earth, his power is not strong, so he needs Ghost Rider to do things for him."
"The Spirit of Vengeance, the curse of the Kyle family... Ghost Rider."
His mind was a little confused. But he vaguely remembered that his mother's original surname was Kyle. But it was too long ago, and he had no impression at all. He tried hard to recall, but then a burst of severe pain from the depths of his soul came!
Ah! ! !
Johnny covered his head and screamed.
"Ah ah ah..." The memory flashing back in Johnny's mind finally froze on a skull-like face. He suddenly knelt on the ground, holding his head with both hands, showing an extremely painful expression: "What happened to me? Get out! Get out of here!"
Boom! At this moment, a raging fire ignited behind him. The exposed skin on his face and hands began to degenerate, revealing white bones.
But at the moment, Kai came to him, grabbed his head, and shouted: "Look at me!!!"
Kai's eyes suddenly burst into golden light.
Johnny immediately felt his mind clear, and then a scream faded away in his mind.
"What's wrong with me? Is that thing..."
Sam immediately felt Johnny's side and checked Johnny.
"It should be the spirit of revenge."
"I..." Johnny was terrified. He was afraid that he would become that kind of monster. That kind of unreserved killing intention, the impulse to kill everything, he even wanted to burn the whole world together! That monster, tell him, it's called purification!
Those phantoms in his mind made Johnny feel desperate. He would rather die than be a killing machine!
Thinking of this, Johnny suddenly became firm: "Kill me! You can do it, right! Kill me, I don't want to be controlled by that monster!"
This decisive choice made the three people present stand in awe.
Not everyone will make this choice, it's too damn decisive. Even Sam, who was originally uncomfortable with Johnny's collusion with the devil, suddenly changed his mind about Johnny.
The same was true for Kai.
He really wanted to kill him.
It was a pity that he failed.
This thing is really hard to kill.
But this does not mean that Kai has no way. It's just that Kai has been hesitating whether to do it.
But now...
"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Sam is a kind-hearted person. He hated Johnny before, but now seeing Johnny's determination, he softened his heart again. "Although I don't know how to solve it, in history, Ghost Rider has never caused any big trouble, which means that there must be a way to solve this problem, and we can solve it slowly."
Who would have thought that Johnny shook his head and refused.
"Even if we can suppress that monster, what about Mephisto? Will he give up?"
Sam and Dean were silent.
"So killing me! Is the best solution!"
It was not until this time that Kai spoke.
"I have a way, but I need your consent."
"What way?" The three people looked over immediately.
Kai looked at the Wen brothers. Then he said, "That means selling his soul to me."
"Ah?" The three of them were dumbfounded.
On the contrary, Ah Fu, who was serving the dishes, suddenly had his eyes light up!
Indeed, it is not only demons that trade souls in this world.
