Marvel's Journey Begins with Psychosis

Now, Johnny could clearly see that this guy named Roland did not have any hostility. It seemed that he... simply wanted to beat him up?
Johnny shook his head, his head was dizzy now, and he didn't think the answer he guessed would be the real answer.

But why?

Raising his head, Johnny looked at Roland, who was smiling in front of him. It was still difficult to connect the current him with the scary guy just now.

So, he is indeed a devil!
"Roland, that's what I call you."

The long list of names just now really frightened him.

"What do you want?"

People always have to have a purpose in doing things. A person cannot work hard to make a meal just to put it in the pot and spoil it.

In the same way, Roland must have some purpose in finding him.

"You asked this."

Roland was not surprised. Johnny was a very sober guy. This passive ability to "turn enemies into friends" and quickly calm down was a "skill" he learned after so many years of hiding. He knew that unless he The violent method can be powerful enough to eliminate all problems, otherwise, it cannot solve the problem forever.

Sometimes, even if you don't want to, you have to do many things.

Sitting in front of Johnny, Roland looked very relaxed, not at all like he had just had a bloody fight.

He reached into his arms, pulled out a document, and handed it to Johnny.

"There is the information you need here. After you read it, tell me what you think."

Johnny took the document, opened the tabbed page, and saw his own name.

He looked up at Roland again, said nothing, and continued to flip through the documents in his hand.

After reading roughly, Johnny frowned and looked at Roland and asked, "So you're here to...recruit me?!"

"That's it."

Johnny became excited: "Is this how you recruit others?!"

He pointed to the big tree over there, the lake over there, and the still smoking soil over there, and said loudly: "Maybe it would be more normal if you don't do these things and discuss it with me directly?! Huh?!"

Regarding Johnny's statement, Roland had another opinion. He simply lay down on the ground, supported his head and said, "In that case, will you listen to me honestly?"

Johnny was silent. He asked himself that he really would not listen to any so-called persuasion. The best way to suit his character was to beat up the person who came to persuade him, tie him to a street lamp, and then change the city.

"look."

Roland also saw the answer that Johnny didn't say: "I understand people like you fairly well. If I really did what you said, you wouldn't listen to me honestly and accept my recruitment. .As for me, I don’t want you to escape, and I really hope to successfully recruit you, so...

We would still fight, but there would be one more bullshit step in the middle that was very troublesome and disliked by each other.

I just skipped this useless process. "

Johnny hates to admit it, but...

"Well, what you said does make sense."

Johnny put the document back in front of Roland. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Roland speak first: "So, do you accept my recruitment?"

Johnny was silent for a moment, then changed back to his poker face: "If I say no, what will you do, kill me."

"of course not."

Johnny sat there, waiting for Roland's next words, but he didn't wait for a long time.

He heard something and looked up. Roland had already stood up and walked far away.

Johnny was stunned again. Roland's reaction shocked him even more than when he was beaten just now.

"Wait! No... Roland, wait a minute!"

"what?"

Roland stood still and looked back at him with confusion: "You want medical expenses?"

Of course not. Why are you always thinking differently from what normal people think?

Johnny stood up, caught up with Roland, and spread his hands: "So...that's it?"

"what."

"You just, just leave like that?"

"if not?"

Well, Johnny now believes that Roland did come just to beat him up, and that document was just a cover-up.

After thinking for a while, Johnny didn't know why he was chasing after him. He didn't know what to say or do, so he could only continue to ask about the document: "You just left like this to find that document. Anyone else on board?"

Roland nodded: "Yes. Don't look at me like this, I'm also very busy. Look, there are so many people here. I'll find the next one... Hey, it doesn't matter, whatever, ha! That's it!"

Johnny saw that Roland was obviously doing something very dangerous and terrible, but yet he said such words with a relaxed expression. He also casually opened a page of the document, glanced at it twice, and then turned around to leave, ready to go find it. Johnny's first reaction to this man was that this Roland was indeed not in good spirits.

Normal people would never do this.

His second reaction was: This Roland is really strong!

A man knows himself well, and Johnny knows himself very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that he knows that he is very powerful.

Whether it’s almost infinite physical strength, a body that can’t be hurt at all, and physical attacks that come with “spell damage” from both near and far…

Johnny has fought with many enemies, both high and low and life and death. He can feel his own strength from the enemies. At the same time, Johnny also knows very well that it is really difficult to defeat himself. .

However, the man in front of him, this guy named Roland, did it very easily and in less than 30 minutes.

Moreover, Johnny didn't think this Roland showed his true ability.

It was more like he was playing some kind of game, otherwise he wouldn't have caught the bullet with his face.

He picked targets at random because he was confident and absolutely confident that he could deal with any enemy.

At the same time, Johnny also figured out why he caught up just now.

He needs Roland's help. To be precise, he needs Roland's fighting power to help him continue his investigation!

Ever since Johnny defied Mephisto's will and rebelled against his orders, although Johnny had gained some "freedom", Mephisto never gave up on having him again.

Although Mephisto never appeared and took action himself, small troubles never stopped, which was one of the reasons why Johnny kept wandering.

Is Roland qualified to fight Mephisto? Johnny felt that although this was unlikely, Roland was also a demon and he should be able to discuss it with Mephisto...

Not to mention this, Mephisto is not a big problem yet, the real big problem is...

Other Ghost Riders.

Johnny knows that there are other Ghost Riders in this world, and this is what he has been investigating.

The problem is that although Johnny is very strong, there is really nothing he can do against his other "self" and other Ghost Riders.

They were all taught by the same master, so they can’t break the moves!
Your whole body is on fire and you use your temperature to hurt others, and so is he.

You are not afraid of water or fire, you can stand up and continue fighting in almost any situation, and so can he.

You can be far or near, a gun can fire countless bullets, an iron chain can be swung faster than an electric fan, and even demons can be hanged, so can he.

You are a skull and so is he.

You like to look at others and judge them, and so does he. Johnny once met another Ghost Rider and had a fight with him. It was an extremely torturous battle. It was only then that Johnny truly understood how desperate those who had faced him were.

If you can't beat him to death, you can't beat him to death at all!
Even the abilities of the Eye of Judgment were in conflict with each other. He could only watch the other party run away, leaving behind a retreating figure after the sun rose.

If his mental quality hadn't been strong enough, Johnny would have given up on continuing the investigation completely after that incident and tried to become a normal person.

But now, Roland's appearance gave Johnny hope.

Since he can deal with me so easily, of course he can also deal with other Ghost Riders easily!

Everyone is a skull, why don't you have your eyes pierced?
but……

Johnny was still a little worried, because although he had only met Roland once, he could already clearly see the essence of Roland's heart.

He's a madman.

Terrible lunatic.

Working with a madman is a very dangerous thing in itself.

And the more difficult part is how to convince a madman to cooperate.

To be honest, Johnny didn't think he could offer enough leverage to "driving" a lunatic like Roland to do anything for him.

The only thing he can take out is himself.

So, after thinking quickly, Johnny made a decision.

"Roland, I can accept your recruitment. But the premise is that I have something to ask for..."

"Do you love me? I will go to SHIELD tomorrow to report. I have to go find someone else. Goodbye~"

Gently wave your sleeves and don't take away a single cloud. Roland turned around and left again so freely, leaving Johnny standing there with a confused look on his face.

No, what is the situation now, why did he...

"Wait! Roland!"

The instant change of identity made Johnny a little at a loss. Just now, I was passively beaten, but when it comes to recruitment, shouldn't I become the active one?

Why is this the result?

"Roland, you..."

Facing Johnny's question, Roland just shrugged: "I was just entrusted by others to do a job for them. In fact, I have already collected the money. Whether you go or not has nothing to do with me.

As long as I do what I should do, the rest is none of my business, so goodbye~"

"and many more!"

"Oops! What are you doing~! What's wrong? I'm telling you, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I won't be using empty eye sockets this time! Did you hear that?"

Phantom pain immediately appeared in his eyes, and Johnny refrained from retreating, no longer being reserved or pulling, and spoke his mind directly.

"I just want to ask you, please! Please do me a favor. In return, I am willing to accept your recruitment, and even help you do something right now, such as... for example, go with you to recruit the people on this list. people!"

Ouch? This statement is quite new.

However, Roland looked at Johnny's tattered clothes and remembered where he lived before. He didn't think Johnny had enough money or anything to use to hire him.

And Roland's unabashed expression and eyes clearly conveyed the meaning to Johnny's eyes.

"Okay. I really don't have anything better to offer."

Johnny spread his hands and said: "I can only help you with some basic things, after all..."

"No. That's not right."

Roland suddenly laughed, shook his head, and looked Johnny up and down with creepy eyes: "You are not here to help."

"Then I am...?"

"You are the main force."

Snapped. Roland snapped his fingers.

"You are the main force, the only main force."

Johnny understood immediately.

Good guy, just let the shopkeeper go, right?
However, he had no other way, after all, he couldn't come up with anything else useful.

"It seems you understand. Then, tell me what you want me to do for you."

At this point, Johnny had to accept the fact that he had successfully sold himself and became a full-time wage earner. He stated his demands as simply as possible. Roland was shocked when he heard this.

"What! There is another Ghost Rider! Isn't it true that one of you dies before the other one appears?"

Johnny wanted to ask Roland where he heard such outrageous calligraphy, but he was a little afraid of the answer he might hear from Roland, so he didn't ask. He just told his story that it contained evil spirits. Speculations about the origins of the Knights are repeated.

"Oh~~! Mephisto, right?"

Of course Roland had heard of this name, but he didn't know it from the memory of his previous life, or from movies and comics, but from this life, from the mouth of Ancient One.

As a boss at the same level as Dormammu and closer to the earth, Mephisto often sends fake bodies to the earth. Of course, he is not just to visit the scenery. Like Dormammu, Mephisto also likes it very much. The earth, very much wants to be the ruler of the earth.

However, for some ancient unknown reasons, Mephisto has never had the idea of ​​​​attacking by force, and no one has ever caught him.

Therefore, he is a dimensional lord that many people have seen, but has always had "no sense of existence".

However, this does not mean that he is not dangerous or powerful enough. In fact, Mephisto's combat power should be stronger than Dormammu.

Because he has been born longer, he has a larger space to rule and more "food".

Roland was very interested in Mephisto because he always thought that he was the one who should rule hell.

Only, not now.

After thinking about it, Roland decided to agree to Johnny, because he had a vague hunch that this incident about the Ghost Rider might be a good opportunity to get close to Mephisto and get to know Mephisto.

Maybe...this is a small but crucial beginning.

"Okay."

Roland suddenly said this after being silent for a long time.

"what?"

Johnny was still a little confused.

"I said, yes. I accept your conditions and help you investigate the follow-up of Ghost Rider. But..."

"I know."

Johnny finally succeeded in stealing Roland's words.

"I want to work for you first, right?"

"clever."

Roland nodded and thrust the folder into Johnny's hand.

"Then let's go, let's go grab the next toy~"

You said catch it, right? You said toys, right? !
Angry and incompetent, Johnny was furious. Finally, he sighed deeply, picked up the motorcycle, and chased after Roland. (End of chapter)
