When Johnny saw Kai take out a shining golden cup and put it in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
Today, he had had enough stimulation, demons, angels, hell, demon hunters, etc., including a demon hidden in his body, which made him feel that he should have seen this world, and nothing should be able to shake his heart.
As a result, Kai took out a golden cup.
This thing... Johnny has also read books!
"It..." Johnny pointed at the golden cup and said to Kai, but he didn't know how to start: "It... it..."
Anyway, after saying "it" for a long time, he couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Kai helped him and said: "Do you want to ask if this is the legendary Holy Grail?"
Johnny nodded quickly! The legend of the Holy Grail... Is there really anyone in the entire Western world who doesn't know about this thing?
"In a sense... yes." Kai did not choose to hide it. After all, Johnny had accepted to give his soul to Kai.
Speaking of this, when Kai asked Johnny if he was willing to give his soul to him, the expressions of the Wen brothers were as surprised as they could be. In their minds, the only people who want human souls are demons. Kai is...
Kai didn't explain this to the two of them. The fewer people know about this, the better.
Instead, he pulled Johnny into a secret room and operated it privately.
"This is really... really..."
Johnny felt that he couldn't say anything. After all... demons and such, to be honest, if they didn't come to him, he could still accept it, but now... the Holy Grail is right in front of him!
"It's a little different, but generally speaking, there shouldn't be anything wrong." Kai said.
Johnny swallowed his saliva and calmed down a little. After all, he had gone through such a big shock before, and now even if he saw something ridiculous, he could quickly get his mood back.
"This... can really get me rid of Mephisto?"
"No!" Kai said without hesitation. Just kidding, Mephisto has coveted Ghost Rider for many years, it would be strange if he could fight back. "However, your soul can escape his clutches, which means you don't have to worry about his control for the time being, but he will never let you go, that's for sure."
Although the Holy Grail doesn't look very good, in fact, the power of the Holy Grail is very exaggerated, but this thing is a double-edged sword. If you want to fulfill any wish, you must pay the corresponding price. Even if Kai is the owner of the Holy Grail, he can only act within the rules of the Holy Grail, and he has to pay a price. That is, Kai has a golden finger, otherwise it is really not enough for him to toss. For example, all those who drink the water of the Holy Grail, when they gain power, it is destined that their souls will be taken back by the Holy Grail. The reason why they can still live well is that Kai paid the price for them, but this is only a stopgap measure. In the end, their souls still have to return to the Holy Grail. This cannot be changed.
The reason why the Holy Grail can ensure that Johnny can get rid of the contract with Mephisto is very simple. The power of the Holy Grail involves the real power of rules, which represents cause and effect!
The cause and effect of the Holy Grail has the highest priority!
In other words, once Johnny and the Holy Grail reach a deal, it means that Mephisto's contract is covered. If Mephisto wants to get Johnny's soul or control Johnny, he must get the consent of the Holy Grail, but the problem is that the Holy Grail belongs to Kai. Will Kai agree?
Johnny heard this, took a deep breath, and then shook his head, indicating that this was enough.
"It's enough to get me out of his control... But what about the Spirit of Vengeance?"
One of the two crises has been temporarily solved, but there is still one left.
That one looks more difficult.
"The power of the Holy Grail will change you and give you power. This power may not be as strong as the Spirit of Vengeance, but it can give you the opportunity to control the power of the Spirit of Vengeance! Understand? And if there is a problem, I can also control you through the Holy Grail, just like Mephisto wants!"
The Holy Grail can give Johnny extraordinary power. In essence, Johnny is still a human being. Only when he connects to the power of the Spirit of Vengeance will he transform. It is a joke to let an ordinary person control such a powerful power. It is very difficult, but what if Johnny is an extraordinary person?
And Kai gave Johnny more than just this.
As he spoke, Kai took out two other things.
A crystal containing starlight.
And a thread-bound blue book with Chinese characters written on it: Kunlun Magic Kung Fu!
"What is this?"
Johnny pointed at the dazzling crystal. This thing was too eye-catching.
"Dragon bone." Kai said simply and clearly.
Johnny tilted his head and didn't quite understand.
Kai didn't explain to him but said: "This thing can improve your physical fitness and also give you 'qi'."
"qi?" Then Johnny quickly reacted: "Putty removal work?"
Speaking of this, Johnny wanted to be very happy.
Chinese Kung Fu is very popular in the United States, and there is a group in the United States who likes to watch old Kung Fu movies from the last century. The low-quality Shaw Brothers Kung Fu movies that Chinese people think are very low are very popular among these stupid foreigners. It seems that Johnny is also a member of this circle.
"That's right!" Kai handed over the book.
"Is this a skill?!" Johnny excitedly took the blue book. When he watched Kung Fu movies, there would always be books like this in them. It was a very powerful Kung Fu, and then many people competed for this Kung Fu, and all kinds of grievances occurred. hatred. So in excitement, he also revealed Chinese. Unfortunately, his Chinese was terrible, and the secrets turned into tricks.
"Yes, this is the secret book of kung fu." This stuff was tortured out of the minds of the five guys in the Shou Hehui.
These guys are probably on the same path as Daniel. Kunlun just learned some basic martial arts and then ran out to dominate. The power of this thing after cultivation...is just that. At most, he is just another Daniel, but Kai can see Zhongzheng Hehe. Practicing this martial arts is not very powerful, but it can cultivate the mind and improve one's spiritual cultivation. To put it simply, this thing is actually nothing at all. Not for fighting.
Those idiots in Shou He Hui are completely out of practice. They are all like evil heretics, blindly pursuing the power of Kung Fu and discarding the essence of it like worn-out shoes.
Absolutely ridiculous.
It seems that this skill is quite brilliant, and even has the meaning of transcending the world. Maybe it is not so satisfactory when facing the enemy, but it is very clever in cultivating internal skills. At least I haven't heard of this kind of martial arts in my previous life. Of course, the internal strength here does not only represent internal strength, energy and the like, but a more general essence!
Simply put, it’s the ultimate in health!
If you cultivate it, you will live forever!
It is infinitely better than health-preserving boxing such as Tai Chi!
So this thing is not for Johnny to increase his combat power, but to build his internal strength!
It is used to cultivate one's moral character, nourish one's essence, cultivate one's soul, and achieve a state of calmness and calmness.
To put it more mysteriously, it is to use silence to restrain the irritability of the spirit of revenge!
This was the best solution Kai came up with. Kai actually tried to use sealing to seal the spirit of vengeance, turning Johnny into an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, it's useless. That thing is very weird, it doesn't use Kai's skills at all...it's really difficult to do.
This is the only way to go now.
But Johnny also has an advantage. He is actually not a very irritable person. Don't think that people who play extreme games are all hot-tempered. On the contrary, those who dare to commit suicide are calmer than anyone else. Otherwise, he would have burped earlier. Shit.
Secondly, Johnny’s willpower is really nothing to say.
A strong one, this can be seen from the fact that Johnny chased Kai and beat him, but let go of the Wen brothers who were close at hand. This was what the Wen brothers told Kai. At that time, Ghost Rider was indeed planning to kill the Wen brothers, but he got caught by something and struggled hard, and finally had to turn around and chase Kai. Along the way, it didn't move a single innocent person. It is absolutely impossible to say that Johnny's influence was not involved.
That's why Kai chose this method.
"Is this really effective?" After Kai's difficult explanation, Johnny was also looking forward to it.
"Absolutely effective!" That's all Kai could say.
After all, he has never tried this kind of thing, so how would he know?
Johnny's eyes gradually hardened and he nodded.
"But before that, I need you to do one more thing for me."
"What?"
"Let me kill you!"
…
The third day when the battle between Kai and the Flame Skull broke out.
Both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the New York Police Department are very concerned about this matter, and the chief has urged Kai several times to give the results.
Kai only said that the killer ran away and that he was tracking him.
SHIELD is also pursuing the truth. Phil hoped to learn the truth from Kai several times, but unfortunately, Kai failed to catch him.
This made SHIELD very unhappy with Kai. After all, this was their scope of responsibility. Not only did they get involved, but they also didn't disclose it to SHIELD at all. This was going too far. Of course, this is a superficial reason, but the real reason is that Kai and the New York Police Department plan to set up a special affairs investigation department!
What the hell is this? It’s so bloody that I’m going to choke! (Choke: grab business)
How could SHIELD allow a department with overlapping functions to appear? Not even if New York City does it itself!
But they still have no way to stop it, threatening the New York Police Department?
Hehe, if it had been in the past, the chief director might have been timid, but now he is so timid, and the hat on his head is about to be taken off! And after all, isn't it the fault of SHIELD that he ended up in this situation?
During this period of time, during a series of bad things, did SHIELD give any help to the New York police?
No!
So if the child disappears and is used in evil rituals, does SHIELD have to control this?
You care!
The one who got scolded was the police station! In the end, the police solved the case, but SHIELD jumped out to snatch the evidence and witnesses...
What the hell is this?
Is my police station here to wipe your SHIELD's butt?
Of course, if it was just that, the chief would bear it.
But you can help me deal with the aftermath!
The joint pot is all ours, and you just stand aside and watch the fun, and why are you asking me to continue to contribute?
Okay, now his contribution as a great director is almost gone. Why the hell are you still not allowing me to save myself? Then please save me!
In front of the official hat, the director is too lazy to talk about S.H.I.E.L.D., why? SHIELD is awesome, then remove me!
What's more, the proposal of the Special Affairs Investigation Department is supported by the boss of the police department, the first police commissioner, the boss of New York, the mayor and the chief prosecutor. Who do you think SHIELD is?
This time, so many people were killed, and it was still their police department that found out.
SHIELD?
SHIELD is useless!
Ignore it!
So the New York Police Department simply did not respond to SHIELD at all to the Special Affairs Investigation Department. SHIELD found that they seemed to be helpless and could not control the government.
The New York government pays for itself, organizes its own personnel, and makes its own policies.
What does SHIELD have to do with it?
You care? How many votes do you have?
SHIELD also encountered such a thing for the first time, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all.
Why didn't they encounter it before?
This depends on supply and demand.
In the past, supernatural phenomena were just so-so. The local government's demand for this aspect was not great. Since there was no demand, who would spend money to set up such a department?
But the problem is that in recent years, such incidents have emerged one after another, especially in New York, as if those monsters and demons particularly like New York.
New York is increasingly panicking about similar incidents.
So demand was born.
Where there is demand, there will naturally be supply.
Your SHIELD should have been the largest service provider. But the problem is that you are not competent!
Every time you wait until the matter is done, you run away.
So, you are the one who cleans up the mess?
This kind of thing needs you?
Since we solved it ourselves, why should I accommodate you? Your service is not up to standard!
So SHIELD is in trouble.
This is also one of the reasons why Hawkeye was transferred to New York. Before, the higher-ups felt that there were too many supernatural incidents in New York, and they needed elite troops. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Now the Flame Skull incident is not just an ordinary supernatural case. It is related to the political game between SHIELD and the New York City government.
If SHIELD continues to perform poorly, then New York City will be completely helpless from now on.
On the other hand, SHIELD can use this as an excuse. After all, it costs money to set up a new department! We SHIELD can help you save a budget, how great. In the future, we should be safe and sound and not interfere with each other.
So Phil was very anxious, he wanted to find the flame skeleton more than anyone else.
They had already locked on Johnny.
But the problem was that after Kai took Johnny away that day, he disappeared.
Phil seriously suspected that Johnny was in Kai's hands. It was just strange why Kai said Johnny ran away.
But it didn't matter! No matter what, he had to snatch Johnny from Kai first, as this would make their relationship with Kai worse.
However, SHIELD also learned very well.
The relationship between Kai and SHIELD was like that. How bad could it be? Could Kai still attack SHIELD?
Don't make a fuss, no one would believe this.
Phil didn't believe it either.
So it's just an offense for the time being, and it will be repaired slowly in the future.
"Sir, the target is found!"
Just when SHIELD was at a loss, good news finally came!
"Where is it?!"
"In Brownsville, Brooklyn!"
The men immediately projected the real-time image onto the big screen. Sure enough, in the dilapidated neighborhood of Brownsville, Brooklyn, a flaming skeleton riding a flaming motorcycle was rushing forward!
"Get Hawkeye ready immediately! All field agents rush to the scene immediately! We must arrest the suspect before Kai can react!"
All of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents were mobilized at once.
However, the field agents who had been on standby still set off first. They took a helicopter directly to the scene.
