Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 309: The Book of Satan Mobile Carnival (Update)

When Xu Wang heard this, his eyes widened immediately.

As if he had been greatly insulted.

Under Johnny's incredulous gaze, he jumped down from the steps of the wooden house.

Then he started punching with great force!

Johnny was stunned by this inexplicable scene.

Xu Wang finished his set of punches and then slowly stopped. He looked at Johnny and raised his eyebrows: "How is it? I have 20 years of strength to punch this one. Can the demon block it?"

After seeing Xu Wang's series of actions, Johnny was not inspired with confidence, but became even more desperate.

Ruined!
Not only is this new priest not very capable, but his brain also doesn't seem to be working very well.

But he was just too persistent.

And his motorcycle is cool.

Johnny turned his head to look at Xu Wang's mobile Pegasus again, then turned back to Xu Wang and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

"can."

Xu Wang nodded.

So the two of them walked towards the black pine forest together.

The door of the cabin behind them was pushed open, and Old Patton ran out with toast in his hand, shouting at their backs: "What are you doing? Don't you want breakfast?"

Johnny said without even turning his head: "I'll take the priest for a walk around here and will be back soon."

As they were talking, the two of them had already followed the path and walked into the black pine forest.

The humidity in the forest is very high.

The temperature was low in the morning and there was a light white mist everywhere.

Combined with the eerie, tall trees all around, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.

If most people take a few steps in there, they will most likely be frightened by the inexplicable sense of oppression in the forest and flee immediately.

But Johnny seemed to be familiar with this area.

He pointed to the dirt road ahead and said, "I often come here to practice driving."

Xu Wang looked in the direction of his finger and nodded: "I can see that."

Humans have their human ways, and animals have their animal ways.

There are also marks left by the wheels in places where motorcycles often pass.

Because of long-term oppression, the land along that road has been compacted and grass seeds can no longer grow into weeds.

After a long time, a very obvious path will appear.

Johnny did not take Xu Wang deep into the black pine forest.

He walked about two or three hundred meters inside before pointing to a patch of weeds in front of him and saying, "Don't you want to know how I summoned the devil? The first time I came into contact with that thing was right here."

You can tell.

This was supposed to be a small park for children to play in.

The lawn covers an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

It is not very big, and there is only a rusty and broken slide and a rotating disc driven by manpower.

It was like a merry-go-round with a few crude metal seats on it.

It's just that it's not powered by electricity.

It needs human power to make it rotate.

It can be imagined that many years ago, there were still many children playing here.

But now it is completely deserted.

Overgrown weeds completely covered them.

Johnny also grew up here when he was a child.

The mine had not been abandoned at that time, and he and the miners' children would often play here.

Reaching out to hold the rusty railing, Johnny turned his head to look at Xu Wang and spoke slowly: "I will never forget the feeling when I first saw a corpse. 10 years ago, I was only 10 years old.

My father was ill and spent a lot of money, so we had to move from Los Angeles to Pine Leaf Town.

I had just arrived at the time, and I heard from the miners that truffles could be dug up in the forest and could be sold for a lot of money.

I knew my father needed money for his medical treatment, so I came to the forest to find truffles.

But I am not a professional truffle hunter, I don’t know anything about truffles, and I don’t have a trained truffle dog.

Of course, I didn't find any truffles, all I found was a dead body, a very cold, open-eyed body."

Johnny raised his hand and pointed to where Xu Wang was standing: “He died right where you were standing.

I immediately ran out of the black pine forest and called the adults from the mine.

They called the police, then came in with me and recovered the body.

The dead person was a middle-aged man who looked like a homeless person.

He had no identity, no property, and no signs of struggle or violence.

It was as if he was just sleeping on the grass because the weather was nice.

After this sleep, I never woke up again.

He doesn't look like my father. He has a decadent face, like a loser who has been defeated by life. He doesn't look as proud as my father, like a hero.

But his death reminded me of my father again.

I was thinking that my father's illness was getting worse and worse, so serious that he couldn't even lift his beloved motorcycle.

Maybe one day, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow.

When I wake up, I will see my father dead, just like I see the body of this homeless man.

No matter what they were like when they were alive, decadent or proud, after death they are just a piece of dead meat.

That was probably my first real encounter with death.”

"Crack! Click!"

Xu Wang had taken out an armchair at some point and was now sitting cross-legged on it, holding a bucket of pre-war radioactive popcorn in his hand, eating it with gusto!
Seeing Johnny turning his head to look at him, Xu Wang put down his popcorn and applauded him enthusiastically: "Wow, wow! Great! You have a talent for storytelling! Please continue!"

Johnny looked at Xu Wang in dumbfounded.

I don't know where he got the sofa and popcorn.

This mysterious thing made Johnny think of the demon he met ten years ago.

However, Johnny still felt very unhappy with Xu Wang's attitude towards him as a bard.

He curled his lips, turned around, and lifted up the rotating disc with one hand.

Take out a cloth-wrapped book from the hole below.

He threw the book to Xu Wang.

Seeing Xu Wang hurriedly put down the popcorn and reached out to catch the book, Johnny continued: "When the adults carried away the homeless man's body, a book fell from him.

I don't know what the book was called, but it certainly attracted me when I was only 10 years old.

Somehow, I took the book home and read it.

Judging from the content, this is a book about Satan.

It tells stories about heaven, but more importantly, it tells stories about hell.

It may also be a magic book, because it does contain many records about magic and rituals.

I'm thinking.

Since medicine couldn't save my father, what about magic? What about the angels and demons in legends?

Even if my soul is really taken away by the devil, it doesn't matter, right? As long as it can really save my dad. "

Xu Wang slowly opened the cloth wrapping the book, revealing a book with a black cover and a red pentagram magic circle engraved on it.

Hearing Johnny's narration suddenly stop, Xu Wang raised his head, met the eyes of the uncle-looking young man opposite him, and said slowly: "So, this magic book is real, and you did successfully summon the devil and heal your father?"

Johnny nodded and added, "Yes, but it's not just me. There's also Father Francis. I know nothing about magic and religion, so I took the book to consult the priest. He taught me a lot of the details."

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

The priest was obviously a devout believer, and he was very unhappy when he learned that he wanted to contact the devil.

So, he himself had already taken the lead in dealing with the devil ten years ago?

But, this makes sense.

Why would old priest Francis know so much about such a private matter as Johnny summoning the devil?

After all, it seemed that even old Patton, the person involved, didn't know about this matter.

Xu Wang patted the Book of Satan in his hand and said, "So what is the content of your contract with Mephisto?"

Johnny frowned and quickly replied, "He promised to cure my father, and my soul will be enslaved by it."

After saying that, Johnny couldn't help but pointed out Xu Wang's mistake. He questioned, "You always talk about Mephisto, who is that? The devil who signed a contract with me calls himself Satan.

This book also talks about Satan. Are you a fake priest?"

"Satan?"

Xu Wang opened the book and glanced at it quickly.

With Xu Wang's current intelligence, it is not a problem for him to finish reading a book quickly.

Indeed, there is no mention of Mephisto in this book.

No wonder Johnny would question this.

After all, in the human world, Satan, the lord of hell incarnated by the fallen angel Lucifer, is the most famous.

As for Mephisto?

Sorry, never heard of it.

If it weren't for the old priest's reaction when I went out this morning, I would have known that Mephisto really exists in this world.

Xu Wang now has to suspect that the devil who signed a contract with Johnny is Satan.

After all, this was the setting for the early Ghost Rider comics.

It was not until episode 1 of V68 that Mephisto replaced Satan.

The so-called Satan is just a vest that Mephisto put on himself.

Xu Wang didn't know whether Satan really existed in this world.

But he was sure of one thing now.

That means Mephisto, the lord of hell, does exist.

Moreover, his love of deceiving people remains unchanged, and he often uses the guise of Satan when walking in the human world.

Xu Wang is looking forward to the day when they fight.

Closing the Book of Satan again, Xu Wang looked at Johnny in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, the demon who enslaves your soul must be Mephisto. Only he can put the spirit of vengeance into your body."

"What spirit of vengeance?"

Johnny heard another unfamiliar term, and then said, "Forget it, never mind that. You didn't say yes before, could you help me solve the demon problem? Now that I have given you the book, what are you going to do?"

Xu Wang snapped his fingers: "Easy! Just like you, summon the demon and kill it!"

Johnny started rolling his eyes when he heard this.

I just felt that Xu Wang was bragging again.

Xu Wang was full of confidence. He jumped off the sofa and said impatiently, "Let's get started without further ado!"

A circle of fire spread out from under his feet, burning all the surrounding weeds.

A piece of open space was cleared in an instant.

Xu Wang planned to draw a formation on this open space to summon the devil.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Wang and Johnny looked back and found that it was old Patton who followed them.

Johnny suddenly panicked.

He didn't want old Patton to know that he had signed a contract with the devil.

Fortunately, old Patton didn't seem to notice anything. He just smiled and said, "Good news, guys! Someone invited us to perform a stunt show at their place this afternoon.

Johnny, you and I will be together this time. And your friends, if they are free, I hope they can come and play with us too."

"Of course! I will definitely go!"

Xu Wang agreed immediately.

It seems that the devil's summoning ritual cannot be carried out immediately.

But fortunately, Xu Wang was not in a hurry.

He has never seen a motorcycle stunt show, so today is a good opportunity for him to go and see it live.

The person who invited Patton today was the owner of Carnival, who was considered a former partner of Patton.

This year, the carnival happened to be held in Songye Town, and a large piece of land on a farm south of the town was rented.

They need the motorcycle stunts of the Blazers to attract audiences in the town to the carnival.

Because Songye Town is not very big.

There is a limit to the amount of money you can make from hosting a carnival.

So this carnival will not stay in Songye Town for too long, three days at most.

So there is no need to prepare too much.

Just some ordinary, low-difficulty motorcycle stunts.

Johnny can do it too.

This is also the reason why old Patton called Johnny.

Xu Wang was very interested in this carnival.

Besides just wanting to join in the fun.

Also because Xu Wang knows that this is a horror movie world.

Judging from the common routines in horror movies, the probability of accidents occurring at such large-scale events is very high.

Xu Wang naturally couldn't miss it.

Anyway, the Book of Satan is already in hand and can be used at any time in the future.

But if you miss the Carnival, you really miss it.

Johnny became excited instantly when he learned that old Patton finally agreed to let him participate in the performance again!
So immediately put all the things about the devil out of your mind!
Although Johnny has an uncle's face and looks at least forty years old.

But he is indeed still a young man with a restless mind.

So Xu Wang and Johnny followed Old Patton out of the black pine forest and went home.

The next few hours.

Xu Wang watched the father and son constantly adjusting the motorcycle and making final preparations.

until the afternoon.

The sky began to turn dark, and the three of them rode towards the south of the town.

It can be clearly seen along the way.

Many townspeople were also gathering towards the south.

Most of them walked.

It’s not far after all.

But from their expressions, we can tell that many people are very excited about this.

Many families bring their children to participate.

Xu Wang saw it.

The carnival venue has been set up on the spacious open space on the farm.

It is called a carnival, but it is actually a mobile version of an amusement park.

The owner of the amusement park owns several trucks.

They would run around Mississippi with all the equipment needed for the playground.

Every time I go to a city or a town.

They were able to unload the truck quickly and put together a playground quickly.

Then make money by selling tickets.

It was undoubtedly hard work, but for that era, the money earned was not bad.

Barton Blazer also likes to accept invitations from such bosses.

Because the money is usually paid quickly, and the stunts that need to be performed are relatively safe.

It’s not dark yet.

Today's carnival has not officially started yet.

But there isn't much to do in the town.

It's a rare day of fun, and quite a few people have already gathered here.

This made the boss of Mobile Carnival very happy.

When he saw Xu Wang and his group of three riding bicycles towards him, he greeted them with a smile.

"It's great that you can come! Don't worry, Patton! I know you don't like to challenge your limits in recent years!
Today's performances are all what you are good at, the difficulty is very low, and there is no danger! "

This is what the boss said when he came up.
