When Jojo heard the psycho guy's statement asking him to surrender to those so-called true gods, he directed his killing intent at the guy, his disgust evident upon seeing the man's face.
"Stop! If you, sinner, disrupt this ritual, you will face the wrath of the true gods!"
The man shouted at Jojo in panic, observing the flames burning and starting to blaze even more fiercely.
"Attack! Kill that monster," the psycho guy commanded the summoned ghosts to attack Jojo.
Jojo did not say anything and slowly began to walk towards the guy. With each step he took, the ground he left behind was marked by deep footprints of fire.
When the ghosts lunged at Jojo, he didn't move away. Instead, he took the attack head-on. But when the ghosts made contact, the hands and legs that launched the attacks on Jojo started to burn and turn to ashes.
"How?" The psycho guy's eyes widened, looking at the ghosts' attack. He hadn't even left a scratch on the being before him; instead, the ghosts themselves were injured.
"YOU, COME HERE AND GET YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR SINS," Jojo motioned for the guy to come forward and receive his just punishment.
"How... how did you hurt the ghosts?" The guy took a few steps back in fear, dragging the kid along with him.
Before, he wanted to kill these kids as a sacrifice as quickly as possible. But now, he was afraid he would be killed before even attempting to harm this child.
He had been promised by his lord that no one could harm the ghost he had given to him, as it had no physical body.
However, the ghost could launch an attack from a corner, utilizing the enemy's blind spot.
But everything was falling apart due to the individual who had come to spoil his plan.
"You... it must be a fluke. Yes. Hahaha... it's just a fluke. Now die," the psycho guy stammered, his confidence waning.
He always thought he was special, a chosen child of the gods.
He looked down on others. When he was told by his old church father that he was chosen, he believed it wholeheartedly.
So whenever the father assigned him a task on behalf of the true gods, he executed it with zeal, sacrificing the blood of these "lowborns" to summon the true god to this world.
Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.
'What should I do if this goes on? The ritual will be stopped,' the psycho guy pondered deeply.
"Looking at you, it seems like you are not human. But why are you helping this 'lowborn'?" The guy asked, his desperation evident on his face.
The ghosts once again lunged at Jojo to attack. Jojo removed the iron chain from his jacket and the hellfire coated it.
He swung the chain towards the psycho guy, catching him by the throat.
"LO..."
When Jojo pulled the chain, the guy was dragged towards him.
He released the kid in pain when the chain pulled the man by his neck.
"Ahhh... leave me!" The guy screamed, struggling to breathe.
Jojo didn't react. He simply caught his jaw, which was dislocated on one side, and placed it back in its proper position.
"RAAA..."
Jojo grabbed the psycho's hair and lifted him closer to his face, roaring.
The guy urinated on the spot upon seeing Jojo roaring so close.
"DON'T LOOK AWAY." Jojo seized the guy's face when he tried to turn away.
He closed his eyes, but even so, he began to scream. He was touched by the victims he had killed in the most painful ways he had killed them.
The psycho guy's eyes turned into charred remains, and his body slowly started to burn in Jojo's hands. Jojo threw the burning body aside and walked towards the old couple.
The children had fainted when they saw Jojo and the ghosts. When Jojo untied them, the elderly couple panicked, taking a few steps back.
"DON'T PANIC I WON'T HURT INNOCENTS," Jojo reassured the old couple.
Hearing that Jojo wouldn't hurt them, the elderly couple relaxed a little.
"Then you won't hurt us," the old man mustered up the courage to question Jojo.
"YEAH, I HUNT ONLY SINNERS WHO COMMITS SINS." Jojo nodded. He didn't change to his human form to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"I WILL LEAVE YOU CAN RELEASE THESE KIDS JUST DONT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR HIM SINCE HE DIED," Jojo pointed at the dead body, which had turned to ashes.
Jojo wiped the memories of the children about him when he entered the farmhouse, using the power he had gained when he hunted the men in the unknown cave.
"What's your name?" When Jojo was about to leave, the old man asked Jojo his name.
"____"
"IT'S GHOST RIDER." Jojo paused for a second, introduced himself, walked out of the farmhouse, and mounted his motorcycle.
Jojo left the place, leaving behind a trail of fire, under the gaze of the old couple.
Halfway there, he turned back to his human form along with his motorcycle, turned normally, entered the road, and sped towards his house.
Jojo's house...
Jojo entered the house and went to his room, since Jenny and Kang had gone to Alex's school for a meeting, the house was empty.
After locking the door, Jojo lay on the bed, thinking about the memory of the psycho guy he had seen. In that memory, he saw an old man who brainwashed this guy and turned him into a killing machine.
Not only did that make him think, but also this guy had already revealed two creatures that looked like demons with no ears and eyes. They were currently under the father's control.
'Sigh... can you guys be near for me to rest,' Jojo sighed, closed his eyes, and settled in for some rest.
The previous day...
When Jojo made the call.
Ring... ring...
The call didn't connect.
Jojo once again tried to make a call.
Ring... ring...
Call connected.
"____"
There was no voice from the other side.
"Hello, is this Hope Mikelson?" Jojo spoke first, breaking the silence.
"No, I am..."
"Sorry, wrong number."
Before the voice could say anything, Jojo cut the call.
Jojo once again dialed the number to make a call.
Ring...
This time, the call was connected to the first ring.
"Hello, is this Hope Mikealson?"
Jojo once again asked, looking at the file in his hand.
"I hope, Mother," there was an irritated voice coming from the other side.
"Oh, sorry, mam. Can I speak to my client, Ms. Hope Mikealson?"
"For what?"
"Sorry, mam, I can't say details about it. You can ask your daughter; she can explain to you."
"____"
"I know about it. There is no way to solve it, so don't try to make a fool of my daughter."
"Don't worry, mam, we can handle the case. You can trust us."
"I am going to arrive tomorrow in New Orleans. I also have another work in New Orleans. So can I ask you to help me find a house to rent for me to stay until I solve it?"
"____"
"Can't you hear me? I was saying you can't solve it."
Call ended...
