Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 498 Gravekeeper

In a cafe in New Mexico, Eve and William were having breakfast. Opposite them was a man in a black leather jacket, who was lying on the table and seemed to be asleep.

Last night, William and his friends had just watched Franz come out of prison when they were targeted by Ghost Rider.

Eve used her driving skills from Akina Mountain to get rid of the opponent, but was still caught up by Ghost Rider. William had no choice but to fight with Ghost Rider until William finally defeated the burning skull with the ultimate skill of the evil ghost Genji.

Later, the Ghost Rider returned to his original form, transformed into a leather-clad man and passed out. Before the man passed out, he said the name of the contract.

William originally planned to abandon him in the wilderness, but finally decided to take him with him.

After all this trouble, almost a whole night had passed. Eve drove to a coffee shop, and it was almost daybreak.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Eve asked as she ate her bacon and eggs. Well, actually the carnivore didn't eat the eggs at all, but ate all the bacon. Haha.

"Johnny Blaze." William said while drinking milk, "He is a famous stunt motorcyclist here, known as Johnny Blazer."

Johnny has idolized his father since he was a child. His father was a famous stunt motorcyclist and a role model for him. But things don't always go as planned, and his father was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

When Johnny was heartbroken, a mysterious old man appeared. The old man claimed that he could cure Johnny's father's terminal illness, but he asked Johnny to sign a contract and sacrifice his soul to him.

Johnny had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, the next day, his father's illness was cured.

Just when Johnny was happy, his father died in a car accident shortly afterwards.

It turns out that all this was a conspiracy of the old man. The old man was actually a devil from hell. He bewitched Johnny just to get his soul and make him a Ghost Rider!
"Where am I?" The sleepy Johnny opened his eyes.

"Coffee shop, would you like to have breakfast?" William had just finished drinking all his milk.

Johnny felt a splitting headache and he couldn't remember what happened.

"Contract...Contract..." Johnny vaguely remembered something. He thought of that rainy night when the strange old man asked him to find the contract. He had no way to resist. His soul and consciousness had been controlled by others.

"Johnny, I know who you are. Why did you come to us?"

"No, he asked me to come to you, the devil in my body!" Johnny's eyes became crazy.

You know, Johnny signed a contract with Ghost Rider, his soul was taken away by the devil, and that devil sealed the power of the Spirit of Vengeance in his body. The Spirit of Vengeance is the source of his ability. It is a fallen angel who became a terrifying messenger of hell.

"The thing inside me thinks you can help it." Johnny said in a deep voice: "Last time you were haunted by the ghost in the necklace, it had already noticed you."

William curled his lips. No wonder he was chased by the Ghost Rider when he came to New Mexico. It turned out that guy had been planning on him for a long time.

"How can we help you?" Eve asked.

"I want to find the contract, but... I don't know what a contract is?"

"Main Quest: "The Cursed Knight": Quest 2: Find the Truth of the Saint Vanganza Contract"

"If it's a contract, I might know the clues." William said seriously.

"where is it?"

"A remote cemetery."

...The last time William and his team were targeted by the Ghost Rider, it was because of the curse of the Faceless Man. The necklace was buried under a tree in the cemetery. When William and his team dug out the necklace, the ghost was actually released.

If it weren't for the arrival of Ghost Rider, they probably wouldn't have known that an evil spirit had haunted them.

Eve drove her Ferrari to the cemetery again. The cemetery was shrouded in haze during the day. Although a few rays of sunlight could penetrate the clouds, the entire cemetery was still shrouded in a dead silence.

An old man wearing a cowboy hat is chopping wood. He is the gravekeeper here.

The gravekeeper put down the axe and looked at the slowly approaching Ferrari. He stood there until William and others got out of the car.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The gravekeeper said in a deep voice.

"Did we know each other before?" Johnny frowned slightly.

"You are not the only one in this world who has signed a contract." The gravekeeper said, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart. During the day you are a normal person, but when night falls, the spirit of vengeance will awaken, and you will become another person."

"Ghost Rider?"

"Yes." The gravekeeper continued, "The Ghost Riders are the devil's warriors. They have signed a contract to work for the devil. Each Ghost Rider has his own territory, and they are responsible for driving all the demons that break into the mortal world back to hell!"

"How do you know so much?" Johnny asked with a puzzled expression.

"..." Just as the gravekeeper was about to say something, William, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Because he is also a Ghost Rider!"

Johnny was stunned. The gravekeeper looked surprised. He had been hiding his identity for so many years, and no one should know his secret.

"I'm right, right?" William stared into the gravekeeper's eyes and said, "Carter Slay."

The gravekeeper's expression changed. After a while, he murmured, "It seems that after so long, someone still remembers my name."

Eve then saw a tombstone not far away. The epitaph on the tombstone was particularly eye-catching: Carter Slay, may the power of the angels be with you.
"You're not dead yet, but you're building a tombstone for yourself." William said.

"The dead cannot speak." Carter said in a deep voice: "Some secrets will be buried with death."

"Since you are also a Ghost Rider, do you know where the St. Van Gogh Contract is?" Johnny asked.

Hearing the name, Carter picked up a shovel and started digging the grave. He shoveled hard towards his own grave. "In the past, there was a village called San Vangansa. The villagers there were simple and honest, and they lived a happy life."

"But one day, the devil from hell came and wanted to sign a contract with the villagers. Driven by greed, the villagers betrayed each other, and the whole village was flooded with blood. After they died, their souls were trapped in that village forever."

Carter continued to dig, "One hundred and fifty years ago, the Ghost Rider in charge of that place was going to go there to collect souls and fulfill the demonic contracts with thousands of souls."

"But the contract was too powerful, so he made an unprecedented decision. He escaped from the devil's control and took the contract with him. From then on, he changed his name and hid the contract."

"So, you are the Ghost Rider from one hundred and fifty years ago?" Johnny understood what the other party meant.

Carter did not answer. He had already dug up his own grave and the coffin was inside. He opened the coffin and found no contract inside, only a rectangular wooden box.

"I have guarded the Saint Vanganza Covenant for more than a hundred years. Now it is your turn to guard it." Carter opened the wooden box, revealing an ancient scroll. He stared at Johnny with a serious look, "You must protect it well. You must not let those demons discover its existence!"
