Chapter 287: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Little Universe, Chapter 148

Looking over fifty years old, with half his body about to enter the soil, Moxi, who acted as the cemetery keeper here, woke up from a leisurely nap, heard the movement in the cemetery, got up from the bed, and pushed the door to the outside.

At first glance.

Not far from the cemetery, a young man who didn't seem to feel cold in the middle of winter, just wearing a black T-shirt, was holding an iron shovel and digging a hole with his back to him.

Cemetery keeper Moxi saw this and laughed.

"The cemetery here is free, you don't need to sneak over to dig."

"..."

Hawk, who was digging a hole, paused, then held the iron shovel, turned to look at the cemetery keeper who was talking to him not far away, and smiled slightly.

"I didn't sneak; when I came over, I saw you sleeping, and felt it was a bit impolite to wake you up, and I wasn't sneaking to dig a hole."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, the cemetery keeper didn't believe a word and looked at Hawk with a smile: "Then what are you doing?"

Hawk smiled slightly, and his gaze fell on the iron shovel in his hand.

"I'm missing an iron shovel at home, and there happened to be one here, so I just tried the sharpness of this iron shovel; it feels good, so I plan to take this iron shovel back."

"..."

As soon as Hawk said this, the smile on cemetery keeper Moxi's face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second.

Moxi's originally somewhat turbid eyes also became incomparably clear and sharp at this moment, and even his voice was no longer as vicissitudinous and aged as it had just been.

Even...

If you watch carefully, you will find that at this moment, deep in Moxi's eyes, there seem to be two yellow flames that were suddenly lit.

He doesn't call himself Moxi at all.

Carter Slade!

This is his name, and he is the first-generation Ghost Rider who signed a soul contract with Mephisto over 150 years ago and obtained the power of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Carter Slade back then also signed a soul contract under Mephisto's temptation, then became Mephisto's bill collector; after collecting debts from the residents of San Venganza, in order to atone for his sins, he escaped Mephisto's control and brought the San Venganza contract with hundreds of souls to hide here, building a free cemetery.

And the San Venganza contract was hidden by him in an ordinary iron shovel in the cemetery.

It is precisely this iron shovel that Hawk is holding in his hand now.

Carter Slade currently looked at Hawk with a serious expression as if facing a great enemy.

"Demon?"

"No."

Hawk shook his head with a smile, weighed the iron shovel in his hand, and then said to Carter Slade: "But the demon will be here soon; since you've retired, then retire well; give me the things inside, and I'll help you solve Blackheart who is coming over later, how about that."

He could see that Carter Slade in front of him could still turn into Ghost Rider.

But...

He could turn, but only for the last time.

If Carter Slade in front of him didn't transform, he could still rely on this energy to live for a good while.

But if he made his last transformation, the moment the energy was exhausted would be the moment his soul returned to Hell.

And with the fact that he deceived Mephisto back then, not only faked his death but also hid the San Venganza contract that belonged to Mephisto in this demon land for so many years, once it was exposed to Mephisto after his soul returned to Hell.

Heh.

He would suffer old crimes.

Hawk is kind-hearted and can't bear to see people suffer.

Therefore...

He intends to make a fair deal with the first-generation Ghost Rider Carter Slade in front of him.

Give the San Venganza contract to Hawk, and in return, Hawk will help Carter Slade stop Blackheart and the Water Demon who are coming here to try to take the San Venganza contract, and Carter Slade can also continue to hide, relying on the last energy here to continue living.

Sure enough.

Hearing Hawk mention Blackheart's name, Carter Slade's face changed instantly.

"Blackheart."

As the first-generation Ghost Rider, he naturally knows the demons in Hell like the back of his hand.

Blackheart might not be the most powerful demon in the Hell dimension, but his background is definitely the most powerful in the Hell dimension.

None of them.

Because his father is called Mephisto.

And Blackheart, it is rumored, is a child born from the combination of Mephisto and a human dark witch, and precisely because of this, Blackheart, who walks in the human world, still possesses powerful magic.

But...

Carter Slade was a bit shocked.

"How did he know I was here."

"How fresh."

Hearing this, Hawk couldn't help but sneer, his gaze swept around the cemetery with a large number of tombstones, then fixed on the cross on the room not far away, and then said to Carter Slade: "You don't think that by putting a cross on it, the souls buried here won't go to Hell, do you?"

When he asked Sharon to help find the cemetery Carter Slade was buried in and rushed over, he was curious about how Blackheart knew Carter Slade was hiding his name here.

Until...

He saw the large number of tombstones in the cemetery.

Good guy.

To be able to play 'dark under the lamp' to this extent, Hawk didn't know for a moment whether Carter Slade in front of him was confident or lucky.

Now that he heard Carter Slade's words, he already had the answer in his heart.

After Hawk finished speaking, he felt a bit sighing, shook his head, and looked at Carter Slade: "That you can live until now is really because Mephisto is blind."

Carter Slade also reacted at this moment, looking at the large number of tombstones in front of him, and his expression became unusually strange.

He didn't refute Hawk's words.

Because this is the truth; after being said so by Hawk, he also indeed felt that for him to live until now, Mephisto's eyes must be blind.

But soon.

Carter Slade came back to his senses and looked at Hawk: "Can I ask, what do you want the San Venganza contract for?"

Hawk shrugged: "Haven't thought about it yet, but, since it's a deal, there should always be a reward, right?"

Carter Slade nodded.

"That's right."

"It's a deal; I'll help you solve Blackheart who is already rushing here, and the San Venganza contract belongs to me."

"... Okay."

Carter Slade thought for a moment, looked at Hawk, and then nodded to agree to this deal.

There was no way to disagree.

Because the San Venganza contract was already in Hawk's hands, and he only had the last transformation left; once the transformation ended, his soul would go to Hell.

Once he thought of the torture he would suffer in Hell after Mephisto saw him, Carter Slade couldn't help but tremble inside.

The most important point.

He had already confirmed that Hawk in front of him was not a demon.

That was enough.

After seeing Carter Slade nod, Hawk showed a brilliant smile, then turned his head to look at the sunset, the two auras rushing here rapidly, and finally looked at Carter Slade: "Now you can go back to the room and close the door."

Hearing this, Carter Slade didn't hesitate at all, turned around, entered the room, and closed the door.

Done in one go.

Boom!

Hawk looked at the dust shaken down from the door the moment he closed it vigorously, and chuckled.

The next second.

The iron shovel held in his right hand split instantly, and immediately after, amidst the flying wood chips, an ancient parchment scroll was already held in his hand.

It is the San Venganza contract.

Sealed inside are the thousands of souls that also made a deal with Mephisto back then, and then let the first-generation Ghost Rider go to collect debts and harvest them onto this contract.

And these thousands of souls are not just simple ordinary souls.

These thousands of souls on the San Venganza contract are evil souls that were lured by Mephisto to become fallen saints.

Mephisto might not need to harvest souls in this way now.

But it wasn't like this 150 years ago.

At that time, Mephisto was still in the hot war with the Heaven dimension for the ownership of Earth's souls.

Therefore...

Mephisto lured thousands of monks who were heart-set on Heaven back then.

As everyone knows.

Whitewashing weakens by three points, blackening strengthens by ten times.

These monks who were once heart-set on Heaven, after blackening, were no longer saints, but fallen saints.

The power of their single evil soul was enough to compare to hundreds or even hundreds of ordinary people's soul power.

And this contract contains the power of a full thousand fallen saints.

It's no wonder that Blackheart was so confident when he invited Earth Demon to create a great cause together that once he got this San Venganza contract, he could create a brand new Hell dimension and compete with Mephisto, reopening the dimension battle for Earth's soul ownership.

When Hawk held this San Venganza contract, just by holding it, he felt the sound of thousands of evil souls sealed for over a hundred years roaring and howling.

These thousands of evil souls were even sending invitations to Hawk through the seal.

"Come!"

"Come with us."

"Fall into darkness together."

"Enjoy the beauty of darkness together, and indulge in this temptation of darkness together!"

"Come with us!"

Countless evil souls used seductive voices that could make the soul tremble to echo in Hawk's ears, inviting Hawk to sink into darkness and fall into darkness with them!

It's just...

Fall into darkness?

Heh?

Does darkness still need to be fallen into?

I can be light!

But—

I can also be darkness.

Therefore...

I am darkness itself, why do I need to fall!

Hawk raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and amidst the temptation of these countless evil souls, he showed an undisguised mocking smile.

At the same time, the San Venganza contract in his hand, which sealed thousands of evil souls, also returned to calm after the sparse sounds.

It seems...

They felt a darkness that was far beyond what they could reach combined. ===== CHAPTER 289 =====
