Chapter 935: Saying Goodbye

Chapter 935: Saying Goodbye

Ka~

Johnny knocked on the door a few times before standing there and waiting. After a few seconds, he heard a soft knock from the other side of the door. The door was then opened, and Lin Rui appeared.

“Were you being followed?” Lin Rui asked Johnny as he looked at him standing at the door.

“No, who could keep up with me like that?” Johnny frowned and replied.

“Well, come in then.” Lin Rui nodded and stepped aside to let Johnny in.

Without hesitation, Johnny walked into the room and Lin Rui closed the door behind him smoothly.

“What did you mean by what you told me at my house before?” Johnny turned to look at Lin Rui and asked as soon as he entered the room.

During a recent battle between Lin Rui and Ghost Rider, Lin Rui appeared to be unaffected by Ghost Rider’s Penance Gaze, suggesting that Lin Rui has not committed any evil deeds.

However, after being hit by the Penance Gaze, Lin Rui’s strength suddenly increased and he was able to retrieve the Beheading Spirit Sword, which should have been in his portable space, and use it to defeat Ghost Rider.

And after Ghost Rider was beaten back to his original shape, that is, after he turned into Johnny, Lin Rui also noticed the police surrounding him, so he hurriedly whispered a few words into Johnny’s ear and left quietly, leaving Johnny alone to face the police and the support from SHIELD led by Falcon.

In order to break through, Johnny could only transform into Ghost Rider again, but at this time, Johnny could already control his actions after the transformation. Therefore, he kept his hand when breaking through, and did not cause many casualties to the police and SHIELD.

“If you’ve come to see me, it means you heard everything I said clearly before. I didn’t hurt your friend, I saved him from Blackheart,” Lin Rui replied lightly to Johnny’s questioning.

“Then you said that Blackheart captured Roxanne, is that true?!” Johnny asked, not doubting Lin Rui’s words.

“It’s true. After you turned into Ghost Rider and caused a disturbance at the police station last night and then left, I think Blackheart realized that you and Miss Roxanne have a complicated relationship. So, before you returned, Blackheart had already appeared at your home. At the time, Miss Roxanne and your friend were looking for you at your home,” Lin Rui continued to explain, knowing that Johnny was still suspicious of him.

“I believe when you returned, you saw a cloud of black mist in the air, which was transformed by Blackheart. I was waiting near your house to stop Blackheart, but while I was able to stop him, another fallen angel who can control water elements captured your friend, Roxanne, and Bucky. Blackheart threatened the lives of those three and eventually left with Roxanne and Bucky,” Lin Rui explained before Johnny could ask any more questions, telling him everything that had happened.

“So, now Roxanne and your friend are both in Blackheart’s hands?” Johnny asked with a cold expression upon hearing this.

“Yes, he took Roxanne and Bucky as leverage. Blackheart needs the Contract of San Venganza and the old Gravekeeper should know where it is. We need to go to him and get the contract before Blackheart runs out of patience or else Roxanne and Bucky will be in danger,” Lin Rui explained.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go find the Gravekeeper!” Johnny shouted upon hearing this.

“I was also waiting for you to come. Otherwise, I would have gone to find that old man by myself. You want to save your first love, and I want to save my friend,” Lin Rui said as he walked towards the door.

Click!

Lin Rui opened the door and he and Johnny quickly walked out. This time, instead of driving his own jeep, Lin Rui sat on the back of Johnny’s motorcycle. The speed of the jeep was not much slower than Johnny’s motorcycle.

Rumble!

A few seconds later, the sound of engines roaring could be heard outside the motel and Johnny quickly took Lin Rui to the cemetery, where he had just returned from.

Not long after Lin Rui and Johnny left Rochester,

After Lin Rui and Johnny left the motel room, a strange and cryptic message was emitted from a small metal device on the bedside table. The device then exploded and was completely destroyed after sending the message.

As the metal device exploded, JARVIS, who was caring for the injured Tony and others in the underground base of the New York Stark Industries building, received a mysterious waveband message.

JARVIS quickly began to decode the encrypted message and, after some time, was able to successfully decrypt it. This unexpected success brought a rare moment of happiness to JARVIS, who has been in a low mood recently.

…

Johnny was driven by anxiety. He then drove Lin Rui back to the cemetery before dawn and parked his bike inside. Johnny went straight to the little shack, while Lin Rui stayed outside and did not follow him.

Ka~

As Johnny approached the Bourne, the door opened and the Gravekeeper emerged. The Gravekeeper had visible wounds on his face, possibly from a previous encounter with Blackheart.

When the Gravekeeper saw Johnny approaching with a worried expression and Lin Rui standing behind him, it was clear to the Gravekeeper that something had happened. The gravekeeper’s eyes changed as he realized that his fears had been confirmed.

It is not specified what the Gravekeeper was worried about, but it is clear that Johnny and Lin Rui’s presence and demeanor have caused the Gravekeeper to become concerned.

“Did you come here to retrieve the Contract of San Venganza?” The Gravekeeper asked calmly as he walked in front of Johnny.

“Blackheart has taken Roxanne! I need to exchange the contract for her release!” Johnny said anxiously as he looked at the Gravekeeper.

“You must understand that if Blackheart obtains the Contract of San Venganza, he will gain almost unstoppable power. The entire world could become a living hell. Are you sure you want to give him the contract?” The Gravekeeper asked, not surprisingly.

The Gravekeeper is warning Johnny about the consequences of handing over the contract to Blackheart and is questioning whether Johnny truly wants to take this risk.

“I’ll do whatever it takes to stop him, even if it means risking my own life. But Roxanne shouldn’t have to suffer because of this!” Johnny replied seriously upon hearing the gravekeeper’s question.

“If you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to stop you. People who are driven by love can harness the greatest power of Ghost Rider. I’ve always believed this.” After hearing Johnny’s response, the Gravekeeper looked at him seriously for a few seconds before speaking.

The Gravekeeper then walked over to a tree in the cemetery and retrieved a shovel that was stuck in the ground.

In front of Johnny and Lin Rui, he separated the wooden handle of the shovel and took out a scroll from inside it. The Gravekeeper had apparently hidden the scroll inside the shovel handle for safekeeping.
