American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

With someone pointing it out, Brewer clearly noticed many unusual details about the old man.

Despite suffering such a severe injury, the elderly man showed no signs of harm except for some dust on his clothes.

In the center of the field, seeing that his opponent was still pretending, William didn't mind playing along for a while.

After a gentle breeze, the progenitor of werewolves pounced on the old man, grinning maliciously as he revealed his claws, saying, "Mr. Mike can't mistake you for someone else. If you don't fight back, my claws will pierce your heart."

"Monster..." The old man's expression of terror deepened, clearly still feigning fear.

With another "thud," William, gradually losing patience, pierced the old man's heart with his claw.

Lying in a pool of blood, the old man's eyes slowly lost their light.

This made William a little insecure.

Having retracted his claws, he looked to Mike for help.

“Still pretending?” Mike shook his head speechlessly, then said to William, “The San Venganza Contract should be hidden in the shovel. Bring it to me.”

Yes, throughout the previous commotion, the old man never let go of the shovel in his hand, even when he was pretending to be dead, he held it tightly.

As William reached for the shovel, the old man suddenly burst into hellfire, instantly transforming into an evil spirit.

“Violence, slaughter, blood…”

"You are guilty!!!"

The skeletal evil spirit, engulfed in raging flames, suddenly had orange-red flame vortexes gather in its empty eyes.

With the activation of "Judgment Eye," Carter now resembles an evil spirit who fights violence with violence.

"No~"

As the first person to directly face the [Eye of Judgment], the progenitor of werewolves also saw a vortex of flames in his eyes, within which countless sins seemed to flow.

The progenitor of werewolves, having endured such a mental shock, couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Only when a soft white light shone on him did the progenitor of werewolves break free of control and retreat in a disheveled state to Mike and the others.

[Judgment Eye (Trait)]...[Immortal Body (Trait)]...[Hellfire Energy +10000]...[Shooting Experience +1000]...[Driving Experience +1000]...

Mike, having received a large wave of energy experience orbs, instantly leveled up to Mythic III.

This leap in his level of life made him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

As the warm current flowed through his body, Mike's physical strength and energy utilization were once again significantly enhanced.

When he opened his eyes again, he unconsciously exuded an aura of arrogance and self-importance.

As the previous Ghost Rider, Carter, changed, Marcus and the others, who had been wary of him, turned their attention to Mike.

The story is a long one, but the whole process actually took only a few seconds.

Having familiarized himself with his own power, Mike withdrew his powerful aura and once again cast a healing orb on William.

Help the other person heal their emotional wounds.

Then, Mike stepped forward, looked Carter straight in the eyes, and said, "Ghost Rider, can we talk now?"

As the previous Ghost Rider, Carter has been able to control his abilities very well.

So when he was judging William, he had actually held back a bit.

"That's amazing~" Carter put away the hellfire and returned to his previous old man appearance. Even the clothes that William had torn were restored to their original state.

At that moment, he also looked at Mike and exclaimed, "You give me the feeling of facing Satan."

"Perhaps you really do have a way to resolve the hidden problems in the San Venganza Pact."

……

Chapter 525 The Pact of San Van González (Continued)

Ghost Rider was originally created by God, and his true name should be "Spirit of Vengeance". His mission is to help God punish those who are inherently evil and do not know how to repent.

To put it bluntly, they are God's white gloves on earth.

However, he was later chosen by Satan, who used a demonic contract to turn the Spirit of Vengeance into his Ghost Rider.

It was used to help him collect evil forces from the human world.

The Spirit of Vengeance's immortality is actually a gift from God. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Spirit of Vengeance cannot be killed or die of old age.

As for Carter, it's because he had grown tired of punishing bad guys over the past few centuries and wanted to retire and live a normal life.

Faced with the older generation of Ghost Riders' "retirement," Satan had no choice but to approach Johnny Blaze, using coercion and enticement to make him the new Ghost Rider to replace Peggy Carter and help him continue to collect evil power on Earth.

However, over the past few centuries, Carter, the old Ghost Rider, has come to know the effects of the San Venganza Pact on Satan.

Therefore, during this period of transition between the old and new Ghost Riders, Carter, who held the San Venganza Contract, was secretly training Johnny, the new Ghost Rider, while evading Satan's pursuit.

His aim was to ensure that the next generation of Ghost Riders would have the ability to safeguard the San Venganza Contract before his retirement, thus preventing Satan from obtaining the power within the contract.

In summary, Carter wanted to find someone he could entrust with the San Van González contract before retiring.

Johnny was initially chosen as the person to entrust this task, but after witnessing Mike's charisma, Carter felt that Mike could also be the person to entrust it to.

“I can give you a contract…” Carter unscrewed the handle on the shovel, took out an ancient contract scroll, and handed it to Mike, saying, “But you have to promise me that you won’t let this contract fall into Satan’s hands.”

"If there's even a chance, I hope you can find a way to purify the evil forces here."

The energy collection over hundreds or thousands of years, or even longer, has resulted in a massive amount of evil energy accumulating within this demonic contract.

If Satan were to obtain this energy, the consequences would be immeasurable.

As a Ghost Rider who walks with evil but has a heart full of justice, Carter is very unwilling to see this happen.

[Corruption Value +66]...[Corruption Value +69]...[Corruption Value +99]...[Corruption Value +111]...

"There's a lot of energy in this Demon Contract!" Before even touching the San Venganza Contract, Mike had already obtained many black energy orbs. Although the energy value of each orb was not high, the sheer number of them made up for it.

"Perhaps I should purify the evil spirits inside now!" Mike, who had obtained the San Venganza Contract, felt that the absorption of corruption points was not accelerating.

At this rate, it would take months to completely absorb the corrupting energy inside.

Now that Mike's skills have reached a certain level, he doesn't have that much patience to wait.

So, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, he slowly unfolded the San Van Gonzalez Covenant in his hand.

This ancient covenant, initiated by God and then altered by Satan, contains the aura of both sacred and evil forces.

"Interesting~" Mike studied the sealed energy on the contract, then his hand glowed white and he pressed it onto the parchment.

Immediately, a six-pointed star pattern appeared on the parchment scroll.

As the sacred power of faith filled the star array, a dazzling white light flashed, and the ancient seal on the contract was forcibly broken.

Amidst the whistling sound, a black evil spirit broke free from the scroll.

Immediately afterwards, the evil spirits trapped in the contract seemed to have found an outlet, and countless evil spirits rushed out of the contract one after another like locusts passing by.

It was like a black firework bursting open, or like a natural disaster striking.

The once clear sky was now completely occupied by evil spirits. Those grotesque and monstrous spirits, filled with madness and rage, quickly formed a black tornado, which was rapidly expanding in size.

"What have you done?" Carter, who had been observing, transformed into Ghost Rider upon seeing the catastrophic scene before him.

The hellfire raging on his body condensed into two old-fashioned revolvers burning with flames in his hands, and he began to indiscriminately kill the evil spirits in the air.

Meanwhile, Marcus's group of four stood back to back as the evil spirits appeared, defending against them the instant they materialized.

It's worth mentioning that Father James and the trainee angel Bruce, who seemed to be the weaker duo, were actually more efficient at killing evil spirits.

Leaving aside the trainee angel Bruce, although he is not good at fighting, with the blessing of faith, he can purify a small area of ​​evil spirits with every ray of white light he scatters.

Father James was equally impressive, wielding a short-handled shotgun infused with holy water crystals, capable of killing several evil spirits with each shot.

"Mike, an evil spirit is trying to escape! Think of something quick!" Father James noticed the evil spirit in the distance trying to escape while he was reloading his shotgun.

Although most of these judged evil spirits were imprisoned in the contract for a long time, they became madmen who only knew how to kill and vent their anger.

However, even among these crazed evil spirits, a very small minority still retain some semblance of reason.

This evil spirit may not pose a great threat to Mike and others, but if it spreads, it will be a disaster for ordinary people.

[Corruption Value +86]...[Corruption Value +99]...[Corruption Value +111]...[Corruption Value +132]...

On Mike's side, as the evil spirit was released, the negative emotions he carried, such as killing, madness, and evil, erupted, and he instantly collected more than 200,000 points of corruption energy.

Sure enough, channeling his emotions was the quickest way for him to gain energy.

Feeling an explosion of energy within him, Mike slowly floated up: "You guys protect yourselves, leave the rest to me~"

After giving instructions to everyone, Mike passed through the horde of evil spirits, rose into the sky, and was once again bathed in sunlight.

As his corruption points were converted into faith energy, a massive cage of holy light appeared in the air.

Under the holy light, the evil spirits that were trying to escape from the edge were the first to crash into the pillar of light of the giant birdcage.

These self-righteous evil spirits didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into black smoke by the holy light and then vanished into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, as the cage of holy light began to shrink, countless evil spirits with hateful faces turned into black smoke and dissipated one after another.

Even the most mindless evil spirit realized something was wrong at this point.

They huddled together in fear, trying to escape the harvest of the Holy Light Birdcage.

The birdcage, sealed shut like a lid, offered nowhere for the bird to hide.

“There must be more than ten thousand evil spirits there…” Father James, who was standing outside the birdcage, looked at the spectacular scene of the evil spirits being annihilated and exclaimed, “I never thought Mike had become this powerful. I would believe it if you said he was a god.”

Beside him, trainee angel Bruce nodded in admiration, while inwardly thinking: Even the number one angel probably couldn't handle such a grand scene.

The Marcus brothers, who were also free at the same time, looked at the spectacular scene before them with nothing but admiration for the strong.

[Corruption Value +99]...[Corruption Value +111]...[Corruption Value +121]...[Corruption Value +132]...

Meanwhile, Mike, who controls the cage of holy light above, gains corrupted energy faster as the evil spirits become more fearful and resentful.

A dozen minutes later, after the evil spirits had contributed all their corruption points, he waved his hand and created a ball of holy light energy in the most densely populated area of ​​the birdcage.

As the holy light energy ball exploded silently, all the evil spirits that had escaped from the contract were wiped out in an instant under the combined attack from both inside and outside.

After the Holy Light Birdcage disappeared, everything seemed to return to normal.

"Are you all alright? Does anyone need treatment?" Mike, who had collected nearly 700,000 units of corrupted energy, was in a very good mood and didn't forget to check on Marcus and the others after landing.

"No, no need, we're all fine..."

The Marcus brothers, Bruce, and others looked at Mike as if he were God.

Further to the side, Ghost Rider Carter, who had once again reverted to his old-man form and watched the spectacle, secretly retrieved the San Venganza Contract from the ground while Mike wasn't looking.

He had just thought about it and decided that it would be better to leave this dangerous thing to the next generation of Ghost Riders.

At least the other party won't suddenly go crazy and release all the evil spirits inside.

Chapter 526 Johnny Arrives

Mike, who was talking to Marcus and the others, noticed Carter's little gesture, smiled, and didn't pay much attention to it.

To put it bluntly, the San Venganza Contract is just a container and not that important; what's truly important is the evil energy collected within it.

The evil energy within the contract has now been temporarily neutralized, so even if Satan obtains it, it won't be of much use.

The only thing to be careful about is that Mike might need to run it again when he collects enough evil energy from that demonic contract next time.

Of course, that's all in the future. Evil energy isn't so easy to collect, and it will probably be decades or even centuries before enough evil energy is gathered in the next contract.

"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Mike asked Carter, who had already hidden the demon contract, with an air of familiarity.

Because he didn't know when Johnny, the Witchheart, and the others would arrive, Mike didn't plan to leave San Venganza for the time being.

"If you don't mind how simple this place is, then come with me." After the thrilling collaboration just now, Carter's attitude towards Mike and the others had softened.

Of course, it's also possible that Mike's exceptional abilities played a significant role in it.

After all, the strong deserve more respect.

The Church of San Vergonzález, severely weathered, is in little better condition inside than outside due to years of neglect.

This shows that Carter, who has been living alone for too long, is not a person who knows how to manage a household.

Inside the dilapidated church, apart from the well-preserved statue of Jesus at the front, there wasn't even a place to stand.
