When Barton rolled his eyes to find the source of the sound, a face that impressed him suddenly appeared in his field of vision. When Barton saw that face in the moonlight, his heart was suddenly shocked. He had seen this person in the crowd during the daytime performance, and the strange feeling he had at that time was still very clear to him.
"Who are you?" Now unable to move, Barton looked at Mephisto standing beside his bed with some horror.
"It doesn't matter who I am. I saw your performance today. You are an excellent rider. I hope you can ride for me in the future." Mephisto said with a strange smile.
"Ride! Don't you already know that I lost my legs, so you are here to humiliate me on purpose?" After hearing what Mephisto said, Barton's eyes immediately widened and he spoke angrily.
"No, I'm here to give you a chance. Life is unpredictable. You can be running freely in the catwalk today, but now you can only lie in bed and cannot move. But I can help you get back on your feet and back on your motorcycle. So, are you willing to make a deal with me?" As Mephisto finished his words, the sky outside the window suddenly began to change.
A flash of lightning struck, and the huge light illuminated everything in the ward, and a clear shadow of the person beside the bed was reflected on the wall. It was not a human shadow at all, but a demon shadow with goat horns. However, Barton could not see it at all, but was thinking about what Mephisto said.
"How can you help me?" Barton asked in a deep voice.
"The point is not how I can help you, but what can you give me to make you normal again?"
Mephisto seduces souls into corruption step by step.
"Name a price!" Barton still didn't understand the meaning of Mephisto's words.
"Oh! I want...your soul!"
Hearing this ridiculous remark, Barton immediately lost interest, thinking that the person in front of him was just mocking him.
"I can see distrust in your eyes, but this is your only chance in this life to stand up and ride your motorcycle again. And you just need to sign this contract." As Mephisto spoke, he took out a parchment contract from his arms and handed it to Barton.
Barton became even more sad and angry after hearing this. He was completely unable to move now, let alone sign any contract. However, the content of the contract soon attracted him. When he saw that the initiator of this contract was Mephisto, his eyes suddenly widened. He was not unfamiliar with the name of this devil, as he appeared in many myths and legends.
"It seems that you have agreed to the terms of the contract." As Mephisto spoke, he moved his eyes and a drop of blood fly out from Barton's fingers and fall onto the contract.
"Now, the contract takes effect. Wake up, my knight!" Mephisto suddenly pressed a ball of dancing flames against Barton's chest. That was Zatanos, another powerful elemental demon lord of hell, who became powerful by devouring human souls. This was an open rival to Mephisto.
Therefore, his final fate was that he was killed by Mephisto, all his consciousness was wiped out, and his soul was enslaved, becoming the raw material for him to create the Ghost Rider.
A person who is possessed by Zatanos and becomes a Ghost Rider will be more powerful than the former Spirit of Vengeance and have greater potential.
"Aaaah! It's so hot, I feel like I'm going to burn up!" The moment Zatanos' soul merged into Barton's body, he felt an intense burning sensation spread throughout his body. The next moment, he grew two more legs that had been amputated. Barton stumbled to the window, then fell through the glass, breaking it headfirst.
The doctors and nurses in the hospital had heard the noise in Barton's ward and rushed over to check the situation. When they pushed open the door of the ward, they saw a young man in retro clothes who smiled at them gentlemanly and then disappeared without a trace. After discovering that the patient in the bed was missing, they immediately looked towards the broken window. What they saw outside was a man with black smoke billowing out of his body walking forward on the lawn outside the window.
"Quick, call the police immediately and let them come over." The doctor had never seen such a scene before. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately told the nurse to call the police. On the other side, Barton here felt that every step he took was extremely heavy. Because his feet were covered in flames, he sank deeply into the ground every time he took a step. At the intersection ahead, Mephisto was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"What did you do to me?" Barton walked up to Mephisto and questioned him angrily.
"What did I do? Of course, it was to enable you to stand up again!" Mephisto looked at Barton as if he was admiring a perfect work of art.
"You turned me into a monster." The angry Barton stretched out his hand and tried to strangle Mephisto's neck. But he was stopped by just one look.
"Now you have to do two things for me. First, find a traitor named Carter Slade and take back the Saint Vanganza Contract from him. Second, go find the giant black dragon that descended on Earth for me. There is a mark I left on his body. After you find him, use your Eye of Judgment to burn his soul and bring his body back to me." Mephisto said to Barton with a smile on his face.
"No way. I won't work for the devil." Barton firmly refused.
"Sorry, my child, you have no right to refuse!" As he spoke, Mephisto stretched out his finger and tapped Barton lightly.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the depths of the soul. The next second, the raging fire of hell ignited on Barton's body, burning all his flesh and blood, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in flames.
"Go, my knight." After hearing what Mephisto said, Barton who was now the Ghost Rider silently walked towards a motorcycle parked on the side of the road. He stretched out his skeleton claws and gently wiped the bike body.
The burning flames instantly covered the entire bike, and the body of the bike began to change shape, looking hideous and terrifying yet full of strange beauty. Then he turned over and sat astride the motorcycle, but before leaving, he stared deeply at Mephisto with his empty skull eyes for a few seconds.
"Has the possession just now begun to merge with the host to create a new consciousness? You are worthy of being chosen by me. You will become my best knight. But don't ever think of escaping from my control, otherwise you will lose everything." Looking at the receding figure, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Mephisto's mouth.
