You Have No Choice

"You run really fast, and you are worthy of being Mephisto's filial son.

When Loki solved Mephisto's projection and turned around to look back, the Witch Heart Demon and his two remaining men had already disappeared.

However, Loki did not intend to pursue him. As long as the Witch Heart Demon was still trying to make a contract with Saint Fangansa, he would fall into Loki's hands sooner or later.

**********

On the other side, Mephisto, who felt that the fragments of his soul in the human world had been destroyed, could only rage in the hell dimension.

Because of Mephisto's wrath, at the moment in hell, everything visible to the naked eye was burning with flames called hellfire.

And countless souls and demons were turned into ashes because they could not withstand this scorching environment.

"Damn! Where did this guy come from? How could he be so powerful?"

As he spoke, Mephisto's palm slammed heavily on the armrest of the throne beneath him, creating a strong wave of air in the hall.

However, while Mephisto was angry that his projection in the human world was eliminated, he was even more afraid of the methods used by the mysterious man to attack him.

Because Mephisto can clearly perceive the condition of his own soul, no matter how hard he cultivates from now on and uses any treasure that can repair his soul, the missing soul fragment in his soul will never be restored.

This also means that if that person really has a chance to attack his body, then Mephisto may really be killed by the other party!

For Mephisto, who had never worried about his life and safety after becoming a dimension Mephista, he felt something called a sense of crisis for the first time in a long time.

The best way for Mephisto to regain a sense of security is to get rid of the mysterious man who can threaten his life!

"You can't live in fear..."

"You can't live in fear..."

"You are the best motorcycle stunt driver, you succeeded in doing something that no one else can do!"

"You deserve a second chance, and Roxanne is the sign."

In the room, Johnny Blaze, who had been carefully dressed up, was standing in front of the mirror at the moment, making final mental preparations for his long-awaited date with his ex-girlfriend Roxanne Simpson tonight.

But just when Johnny had completed all the preparations and was about to set off, he found that his state at the moment became a little strange, even - weird!

Johnny looked at his hands, which were like red-hot irons at the moment. He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he quickly opened the faucet and rinsed them.

But the rinsing with water did not alleviate the situation. His burning hands even caused the water that came into contact with his skin to evaporate directly.

At the same time, a hoarse and deep voice sounded in his ears: "Qiangni~!"

At the call of this voice, Johnny ran to the street involuntarily, and finally in a deserted alley, he saw the motorcycle that had mysteriously disappeared from his house just now, and the evil face that he could never forget— —

"It's you?!"

Johnny raised his hand and pointed at the figure that appeared in front of him. There was shock and panic in his eyes, as well as sadness and pain, but more of them were anger and hatred.

Because the guy who appeared in front of him was named Mephisto.

Definitely, what Johnny doesn't know is that the Mephisto he sees now is no longer the Mephisto he used to be.

After all, the projection of Mephisto in the human world that Johnny had seen was killed by Loki not long ago.

The projection that appears in front of Johnny now was created by Mephisto splitting his soul and reusing his own soul fragments.

"It's me, long time no see, Johnny."

Mephisto stepped forward and kept getting closer to Johnny. The false gentle smile remained on his face as always, without the slightest hint of violence burning in hell.

"Get out of here, you devil, stay away from me!" Johnny shouted as he backed away.

However, Mephisto remained unmoved by this and continued to close the distance between the two.

"If you talk like that, it would be a bit too hurtful."

"What are you doing here?" Johnny continued to back away, maintaining the distance between the two of them very vigilantly.

"Well, that's a good question. But Johnny, in fact, I have always been by your side, but you don't know it. I will go to watch every performance of yours in person, and I am your loyal fan."

"Stop joking! Do you think I'm still the young and ignorant child I was before and will easily believe your lies? Every time I have an accident during a stunt, I'm fine. It's you who is causing trouble, right?!"

Hearing this, Mephisto shook his head, looked at Johnny and said, "You are wrong, Johnny. All of this was achieved by yourself."

"I said, I'm a loyal fan of yours. Whenever I hear the audience shouting your name enthusiastically, I feel very proud. This feeling is like watching an investment I made. , constantly soaring in value..."

"And today, I think it's time to cash in on my investment, Johnny.

0...Please give me flowers...

"I need you to help me do something. Find the Witch Heart Demon, his accomplices, and this mysterious man, and then kill them."

As Mephisto finished speaking, Johnny was surprised to find that there was an extra memory in his mind. The content of this part of the memory is about the appearance of the mysterious man in Mephisto's mouth.

For demons, Ghost Rider can track them by their unpleasant sulfur smell. But for that other mysterious man, if there is no clue to support him, no matter how powerful Ghost Rider is, he will not be able to complete such a task.

"I refuse! I will never obey your orders!"

However, facing Mephisto's order, Johnny, who had been deceived by him, did not intend to carry out the task as agreed.

When Johnny was still a young boy at the age of seventeen, his father was diagnosed with cancer by a doctor. Johnny, who accidentally learned about this incident, felt very sad.

0....

But at this moment, Mephisto appeared in front of him and took out a contract and told Johnny that as long as he was willing to sell his soul, Mephisto would heal Johnny's father in exchange.

Johnny was doubtful, but for the sake of his father, he still chose to accept Mephisto's conditions and signed a contract with him.

And on the second day after he signed the contract, his father miraculously recovered!

Johnny was very happy to learn about this, and at the same time decided to follow the original plan and fly away with his girlfriend Roxanne Simpson to live the life he wanted.

But before Johnny could be happy for a long time, he suffered a bolt from the blue!

His father had an accident during a motorcycle stunt that day and passed away unexpectedly.

But as a biological son, Johnny knew very well that with his father's motorcycle stunt performance level, such a low-level mistake would never happen.

All of this has absolutely nothing to do with Mephisto!

This is why when the two met again now, instead of showing any gratitude to Mephisto, Johnny was extremely hostile to him, even going so far as to violate the contract they signed.

"It's up to you, Johnny. Don't forget, I signed the contract. You have no choice but to complete the mission that I hand you."

"But you can rest assured that I, Mephisto, have always followed the principle of fair trade. As long as you can successfully complete the tasks I assigned, how about I return your soul to you?"
