Chapter 925: Breakthrough
As Ghost Rider raced up the side of the building, defying the laws of physics, the flames emanating from him melted the gla.s.s, causing shards to shatter and fall to the ground.
Roxanne, who was packing up her things and getting ready to leave the hotel across from the building, happened to witness the scene.
Roxanne was surprised as she remembered the things Johnny had said to her just earlier.
“Oh! G.o.d!” She exclaimed, dropping the clothes she was packing and rushing out. When Roxanne saw Ghost Rider climbing up the building opposite the hotel she was staying in, Lin Rui and Bucky had also got off the station and looked up at the fiery figure who had climbed hundreds of meters high outside the police encirclement.
“As expected, you can’t think of him with normal reasoning. If Johnny has such driving skills, what records in the world can’t he break?” Lin Rui couldn’t help but say to himself as he looked up at the flaming figure climbing up the tall building.
“He’s already climbed up, and this place is surrounded by the police. We don’t seem to have a way to make a move,” Bucky said to Lin Rui as he stared at Ghost Rider.
“I have a feeling that I could also climb it but with so many cops around, one angry guy is surprising enough. If another one climbs up, I think we’ll be in the headlines tomorrow,” Lin Rui replied with a twinkle in his eyes when he heard Bucky’s words.
“Then you shouldn’t go up,” Bucky said with a strange expression on his face when he heard Lin Rui’s muttering.
“Well, it’s the same from here. Although he had run up, he will eventually come down. I don’t believe he can grow wings and fly away,” Lin Rui said as he was unable to make a move in front of so many policemen.
Just like that, Lin Rui and Bucky skillfully hid in the shadows in front of the building, and the policemen who had surrounded the building didn’t notice the two people who had been observing their target alongside them.
Hurrah!
As the ground officers surrounded the building, the police helicopter flew to the roof to confront the convict. However, Ghost Rider brandished a whip and nearly caused the helicopter to crash on the roof. In response, the helicopter wisely retreated from the dangerous individual.
The roof of the building was left to Ghost Rider and Abigor (the Demon of Wind) who had come to stop him. The battle ended very quickly as, in less than a minute, the low-intelligence Abigor (the Demon of Wind) had been wiped out by Ghost Rider.
Then, Ghost Rider drove his mount directly off the roof of the building. Under the shocked gazes of dozens of people below, the flaming figure rushed down from a height of several hundred meters along the gla.s.s wall of the building.
Hoo hoo!
Boom!
With a loud boom, the flaming figure slammed into the ground in front of the building a few seconds later, creating a strong shock wave that caused all the surrounding police officers to retreat several steps and some even fell down. However, Lin Rui and Bucky, who were hiding in the shadows, were unaffected by the shock wave.
At this time, Roxanne had already rushed over and watched in shock as the flaming skeleton fell in front of her.
“Attention everyone!!” Police Captain Dolan raised his hand and shouted loudly, looking at the flaming skeleton in front of him. No matter what kind of demon this guy is, his appearance is already scary enough. Perhaps he is a monster created by some organization. Therefore, the best action for the police is to nip the danger in the bud.
“Johnny!…” Compared to the shock and nervousness of the surrounding policemen, Roxanne, who had heard the truth from Johnny’s mouth, was worried and took two steps forward while calling Johnny’s name.
Huh~
Hearing Roxanne’s voice, Johnny, who had turned into Ghost Rider, seemed to regain some of his thoughts and the fiery skull looked toward Roxanne. Seeing the movement of the skull, Roxanne bravely took two steps forward.
When Roxanne took these two steps, the color of the flame on Ghost Rider’s head changed unexpectedly, from fiery red at the beginning to blue. Moreover, he also took two steps toward Roxanne.
“Huh? Could this be the power of love?” Lin Rui, who was hiding in the dark and saw this scene, muttered with a surprised expression on his face.
However, before Roxanne could continue to take two steps forward, Police Captain Dolan, who was startled by Ghost Rider’s approaching figure, waved his hand and gave an order. “Fire!!”
Bang Bang Bang!
The police officers, who had already prepared, opened fire the next moment. The bullets struck Ghost Rider’s body but had no effect, it was as if they were hitting an alloy wall.
After the first round of gunfire, everyone was shocked to see that Ghost Rider remained unharmed. In fact, the attacks seemed to only fuel the flames on Ghost Rider’s head, which turned red again from the initial blue state in was in before.
Boom!
Ghost Rider swung his hands forward with great force, causing a flame to surge toward the police officers in front of him. However, just before the flame could burn the officers, it stopped and formed a wall of flames in front of them.
Rumble!
Ghost Rider then turned around and reappeared on his mount, which had the appearance of a flaming skull. He quickly drove the flaming bike out of the encirclement and escaped.
Pū Pū Pū~
After the Ghost Rider left arrogantly, Donal, the police captain, and Edward, the special officer who stayed at the scene, looked at the messy scene around them and the scene they had just witnessed. They didn’t know what to think. In the end, Donal had no choice but to have people clean up the scene and return to the station first. They needed to go back and think about countermeasures for what had happened today.
Donal, the police captain, was so stunned by Ghost Rider’s appearance that he didn’t notice a jeep leaving quietly while they were cleaning up the scene. The jeep’s departure was also in the same direction that the flaming figure had escaped through the encirclement. Lin Rui, who had not yet seen Blackheart, had not given up. He wanted to see the demonic ent.i.ties from h.e.l.l with his own eyes.
However, Lin Rui stopped the car halfway through the chase. “Huh? Why are we stopping now?” Bucky, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat sorting out his weapons, asked suspiciously after Lin Rui stopped.
“That direction leads to the cemetery, so Johnny is probably looking for the old man. There’s no need for us to go there. If Johnny’s transformation into Ghost Rider is for the purpose of hunting down those h.e.l.l demons, then there must have already been a battle on the roof of the building that we didn’t see,” Lin Rui quickly said and his eyes flickering as he thought.
“So?” Bucky still didn’t understand what Lin Rui was trying to say.
