Although Ghost Rider was powerful, that energy couldn’t stop the old man’s body from decaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, his body had become like a bucket full of holes, and the Ghost Rider power continued to leak out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last few years, the Ghost Rider power had clearly fallen to its weakest, allowing him to anticipate his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this mysterious “Big Dipper” had injected him with a strange energy that was slowly healing his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mending the cracks, and the rate at which the Ghost Rider power was depleting gradually slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that he could live for at least another three to five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on? He had been ready to go back and die! Carter was conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who knew that he was going to die and had been prepared for everything suddenly learned that he would live for a while yet. The feeling was unimaginably complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had already let go of Carter Slade’s matter for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he had needed was the old man’s knowledge. The Basic Theology he just learned contained a lot of general knowledge about Hell. He had achieved his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long guessed that the old man was very sensitive to the word “deal,” which was why he had deliberately used it so that the old man would refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he could “defeat” the previous Ghost Rider and obtain a list of his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t mistreated the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown red liquid was a form of compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the old man no longer had the will to fight. Even if he lived a few more years, he would just retire in the cemetery and not go out and cause trouble like a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Luke only had one target left — Blackheart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and that Water Demon, he couldn’t forget him, Luke reminded himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the images captured by the drone from the air, Luke sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the abandoned town, in a square outside a church, Ghost Rider was confronting Blackheart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ghost Rider, who was burning with flames, Blackheart smiled. “Cancel your transformation, or your girlfriend will suffer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Demon, who was holding Roxanne, immediately tightened his grip on her neck, causing her face to turn red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames faded from Ghost Rider to reveal Johnny’s true self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The San Venganza contract? Give it to me.” Blackheart stretched out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny slowly took out the scroll from his chest. “A trade. If you let Roxanne go, I’ll give it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackheart looked at the scroll and felt the aura of his cheap father, Mephisto, on it. His heart burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and gestured at Water Demon, who threw Roxanne into a corner seven or eight meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackheart stepped forward and grabbed the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t budge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny gripped the other end of the scroll tightly as fury flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, his head burst into flames. Ghost Rider appeared again and punched Blackheart in the face, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, Blackheart roared as he lay on the ground, “Catch that woman and cut off one of her hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames on Johnny’s head shook violently a few times, and he turned around to protect his girlfriend, Roxanne. Water Demon also started moving almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, both of them exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner which Roxanne had collapsed in was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackheart got up and cursed at the motionless Water Demon. “Didn’t you hear me? Catch that woman...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he noticed the empty corner. “Huh? Where is she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Demon: “...I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find her. I’m going to cut his girlfriend into pieces in front of this Ghost Rider.” Black mist filled Blackheart’s blue face, and his mouth was full of sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was infuriated by Johnny reneging on the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Johnny was alone, and his girlfriend was here. How dare he fight back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackheart wasn’t his father, and wouldn’t tolerate Ghost Rider’s provocation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Water Demon turned into a ball of liquid and flowed out of the square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the square, he saw the female reporter, Roxanne, hiding behind a pile of rubble dozens of meters away, half of her body exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think too much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roxanne was just an ordinary woman without any abilities. Water Demon’s own traits made him unafraid of physical attacks, so catching Roxanne would be a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was not far from Rozanne, he condensed back into his human form and stretched out one wet hand with a hideous smile. “Come here, baby. Your boyfriend is waiting for you inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray jar suddenly flew out from behind Roxanne and landed at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roxanne cried out at the same time as she flailed her limbs in panic and suddenly flew more than twenty meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned for a moment, Water Demon didn’t understand what was going on. Then, with a bang, the gray dust under his feet suddenly exploded, and a thick white fog enveloped an area of ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What... the hell... is this...” He was still speaking, when he was enveloped in the white fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Roxanne also turned to look at Water Demon with a baffled expression, as if she had no idea what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in front of her suddenly warped, and a figure appeared amidst flickering blue electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was wrapped tightly in a streamlined suit of dark gray armor, and the round lenses looked like old-fashioned sunglasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roxanne exclaimed and stumbled back a few meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark gray figure just turned around and glanced at her. Waving his hand to indicate that she should stay away, he walked toward the frozen Water Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, it was Luke in the Big Dipper Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin-type Big Dipper Armor had an optical camouflage system. Most of the inspiration for this system came from the broken Predator armor which he obtained from the South Pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke then combined it with some of Earth’s technology and struggled before he was able to localize it for use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This optical camouflage’s stealth effect was a little rougher in a situation that was sufficiently bright, and it was easy for others to detect the distortion of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a dark environment, the stealth effect was still useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had relied on this thing to secretly cover Roxanne’s mouth and take her out while the other three were focused on the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Water Demon came to look for her, Luke deliberately exposed part of Roxanne’s body to lure him over, and then used a liquid nitrogen canister to trap Water Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Water Demon really was only a water demon, and not an ice demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t as resistant to low temperatures as Luke had imagined, so Wind Demon decisively turned into a huge block of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-06T03:36:05.104Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1a9198586dc9cd2b474b6d31550653bbd24737d86a239afa049d8414eec1ea7","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-788","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-786",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
