Woo Woo Woo Woo! ~
Johnny was surrounded by more than a dozen police officers with their guns raised and pointed at him, and Police Captain Jack Dolan personally handcuffed him. He was then escorted to the police station.
Roxanne, who had just left, was unaware of what happened to Johnny after she left. However, Lin Rui and Bucky, who were watching from an upstairs window, saw Johnny being escorted away by the police.
“What’s going on here?” Lin Rui, lying on the edge of the roof, watched as the police cars drove away with Johnny.
Originally, he had been hoping to see the Ghost Rider that night and find out more about these Demons and Fallen Angels from Hell. But now, the main protagonist Johnny had been taken away by the police.
“It seems that something happened in the police investigation, and Johnny’s true identity may be revealed soon,” Bucky said calmly as they watched the police take Johnny away.
“That’s exactly why we can’t trust those stories. The police are all about science, except for the guns they’re carrying. Even if Johnny tells them the truth, I bet they’ll react just like Roxanne did – 100% disbelief,” Lin Rui said with a fed-up expression on his face.
“So what do we do now? Should we continue to follow?” Bucky asked as the police cars disappeared down the street.
“Of course, we have to follow. If what the old man said is true, it would be a very bad decision to leave Johnny in the hands of the police,” Lin Rui replied as he jumped off the roof.
Hoo~
When Lin Rui jumped off, Bucky followed suit, leaping off the roof behind Lin Rui. As they fell, Lin Rui used a few bursts of energy to slow his descent, while Bucky passed him on the way down.
Pū Pū!
Then, Bucky and Lin Rui landed on the ground, one after the other. Bucky rolled twice on the ground to soften the impact of jumping from the building, while Lin Rui landed lightly and steadily, showing a mastery of his powers. It seems that Lin Rui has discovered more ways to use his own power.
“We have to go! It’s getting late, and I’m worried Johnny will burn down the entire police station,” Lin Rui shouted as he rushed to the jeep parked by the road.
Bucky followed, admiring Lin Rui’s agile figure and recognizing the many hidden strengths in the young man. In just a few days, Bucky felt that he may have found a valuable ally in Lin Rui.
Hoo hoo!
The two got into the jeep and followed the police car heading to the police station. Bucky understood Lin Rui’s anxiety, as the key to the situation lay with Ghost Rider. If what the old man said was true, combined with what Johnny had said about what happened last night, then Johnny’s situation at the police station could be dire.
“The Penance Stare is a powerful force that can see into the soul. I don’t know what will happen if Johnny is imprisoned in a cell at the police station,” Lin Rui thought to himself as he stepped on the accelerator.
Brush!
…
Meanwhile, as Johnny was taken away by the police, and Lin Rui and Bucky followed, Blackheart was causing trouble with the bishop in St. Michael’s Church, he wanted to find the Contract of San Venganza.
Contrary to the old man guarding the cemetery’s belief, Blackheart was able to enter a holy place like a church due to his demonic powers.
As the son of the demon Mephistopheles, Blackheart has his strengths without the usual weaknesses that lower demons possess. Even if Johnny had listened to the old man and hid in the cemetery, it would have been useless against Blackheart.
Blackheart sat in the middle of the first row of pews in an empty church, staring up at the statues of Jesus and Michael with disdain. After a while, he turned his head towards the side door of the church hall, where he heard footsteps approaching.
…
At the police station, Johnny was unable to convince Police Captain Dolan and Agent Edward of his innocence and was taken to a cell.
Looking at Johnny’s reaction, Police Captain Dolan and Agent Edward who had just interrogated him frowned as they felt that Johnny is hiding something. Johnny was also very sure that he had nothing to do with the two victims that the police had found.
Despite his efforts to resist, the officers had their doubts about his story, given their decades of experience as detectives. They decided to detain him for 24 hours while they investigated further.
“Agent Edward, do you think Johnny is telling the truth?” Police Captain Dolan asked as they watched Johnny being led away.
“In my opinion, I don’t think Johnny is responsible for the deaths of those three victims. However, I believe he is hiding something else from us. And whatever he’s hiding maybe even more serious than those two murders,” Agent Edward replied with a serious expression on his face.
“More serious than murdering three people in a single night? How could anything be more serious than that?” Captain Dolan asked in disbelief.
“There are many mysteries in this world, Captain Jack. Just like the alien invasion that occurred a few days ago. Who would have believed in the existence of aliens before it happened?” Agent Edward said with a cryptic expression.
“How is this situation even remotely comparable to that?” Captain Dolan asked.
“It’s different, but I have a feeling that this case won’t be as straightforward as it seems,” Agent Edward replied with a sense of foreboding.
Dī Dī Drops!
As Agent Edward and Police Captain Dolan were discussing Johnny, a series of electronic prompts sounded from Agent Edward’s device. Hearing this sound, Agent Edward showed some surprise on his originally calm face. Then, under Captain Dolan’s curious eyes, Agent Edward took out a small instrument from his waist.
Turning slightly, Agent Edward glanced at the instrument at an angle that Captain Dolan couldn’t see and his eyes widened in shock when he saw the information.
“Agent Edward, what is it? Is there something else you’re hiding from me?” As the city’s police captain, Dolan felt that the other man had nothing to hide from him.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I reported the situation here to my superiors. I didn’t expect to get any response but I didn’t expect that they would actually find something. They just gave me the news that more support will be arriving soon so we don’t have to worry about anything” Hearing Captain Dolan’s words, Agent Edward replied with a smile.
“Superiors?”
“Don’t you know where I came from to support you?”
“Could it be!… SHIELD?!”
