Chapter 924: Changes
Boom!
“Let’s go!” Captain Dolan shouted to Agent Edward as they rushed out of the interrogation room. “We can’t waste any more time!”
Meanwhile, Johnny was being forcibly led to a temporary cell by the guards. “No! No, no! Can you please put me in a separate room!” He protested, trying to contain the intense heat that was emanating from his body.
“You’re a murder suspect now, and you don’t have many privileges,” One of the guards sneered as he continued to speak. “You think you’re some kind of big shot?”
Hoo!
Click!
With a loud clang, Johnny was thrown into the cell, which was already crowded with other prisoners. The guards locked the iron gate and left, enjoying the opportunity to teach someone like Johnny a lesson.
It was a common practice in the police station to rough up uncooperative suspects during interrogations. However, it was unclear who was really teaching whom a lesson in this situation.
Johnny was pushed into the cell and immediately sought out a quiet corner to sit in, ignoring the other people around him. His body was experiencing a strong burning sensation and he just wanted to be left alone.
Unfortunately, his desire to be left alone was not respected by some of the other people in the cell, who recognized him and gathered around him menacingly.
“Hey, isn’t this the famous and amazing Johnny Blaze?” A middle-aged man asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “What brought you here? Did you do something wrong?”
“No, please leave me alone!” Johnny shouted, trying to fend off the people closing in on him. “I don’t want to cause any trouble!”
“You don’t want trouble, but I do!” Someone else yelled. “That’s a nice jacket you’ve got there. It’s mine now!”
“Mine!” Another prisoner echoed.
Call!
In the midst of the chaos, Johnny was surrounded by a group of seasoned prisoners in the cell. A dozen hands were pulling at him, and some were even hitting his body.
“Come on Man, leave him alone, don’t do this!” A teenager tried to intervene when Johnny was surrounded and had his clothes pulled by the other people.
“Get out of here! You have no business being here, kid!” One of the larger men snarled, pushing the boy away.
Tear!
With a loud rip, Johnny’s jacket was torn, revealing a hole in the middle. At some point, his arms had loosened from his head, and as the wild laughter of the men reached a crescendo, flames erupted from Johnny’s body.
Hoo hoo!
“Hahaha!” Johnny exclaimed, shaking his arms and sending the men around him flying. The Ghost Rider, who had been suppressed until now, was finally unleashed.
…
Whoooo! ! ~~
A minute later, the fire alarm went off, filling the police station with the sound of blaring sirens. The transformed Ghost Rider summoned his mount and escaped from the police station, leaving a trail of destruction behind him.
Whirring Whirring!
As Ghost Rider rode away from the police station on his motorcycle, Captain Dolan and Officer Edward rushed out of the station to find chaos and destruction left by the Ghost Rider and they could still hear the ghastly laughter echoing in the air.
“It seems the higher-ups were right to send in additional support,” Seeing the figure that was flaming and leaving quickly, Edward squeezed the gun in his hand and said to himself.
“That… That’s Johnny Blaze?!” Exclaimed Dolan, the police captain, unable to believe his eyes as he saw the back of Ghost Rider. In contrast, Agent Edward seemed to have an easier time accepting the unexpected sight.
“If you review the surveillance footage, you’ll have your answer. However, it’s probably best to keep this kind of incident under wraps to some extent. I suspect that’s why the higher-ups are sending in additional support,” Agent Edward reminded Captain Dolan after he heard his words.
“I see, what should I do now?” Captain Dolan asked Agent Edward after hearing his reminder as he didn’t know what to do next.
Edward replied, “We should dispatch all police forces to chase him. He’s a high-risk individual now and we need to be able to take him down if he poses a threat to public safety before backup arrives.”
Hurrah!
At Edward’s command, dozens of police cars were sent out to pursue the flaming figure of Ghost Rider. Though his speed was impressive, the combined forces of the police were able to block and chase him. And among these dozens of police cars, there was also an unremarkable jeep that was also following the flaming figure
“It’s a bit late, I wonder if Johnny has already destroyed the police station,” Lin Rui said, frowning as they followed the flaming figure of Ghost Rider.
“That’s the Ghost Rider the old man told us about, right? A flaming skeleton,” Bucky said as he stared at the fast-moving figure in front of them.
Lin Rui and Bucky, with their superior vision, were able to get a clear view of what the Ghost Rider scurrying about in the street looked like. Compared to the description given by the fat girl they interviewed earlier in the day, the image of the Ghost Rider was even scarier.
In their eyes, the Ghost Rider appeared to be a skeleton wearing clothes and still engulfed in flames. This image would be enough to frighten children.
“I can’t believe that Johnny has become like this. It seems like the Ghost Rider and Johnny are completely different people, and the Ghost Rider doesn’t seem to have Johnny’s thoughts,” Lin Rui said as he stared at the figure in front of them who seemed to have been cornered by the police.
“Maybe this is the result of the contract. If Johnny retained his own mind after transforming into the Ghost Rider, how could he fulfill the demon’s mission?” Bucky replied after giving it some thought.
“That makes sense. But in that case, the flaming skeleton wouldn’t recognize us either,” Hearing Bucky’s reminder, Lin Rui suddenly realized something.
“That should be the case,” Bucky replied in his usual monotone voice.
Boom!
Lin Rui and Bucky were in pursuit of the Ghost Rider among dozens of police cars when the Ghost Rider was finally cornered by a police car in front of a building. There was only one road leading to the front square of the building, and it was the same road that the Ghost Rider had just come from.
“Report! I’ve cornered the target!” The police officer in the car shouted into his walkie-talkie as he saw the flaming figure come to a stop in front of him.
“Hahaha!” However, as the police officer finished his report, he heard a burst of wild laughter coming from the front.
Hula la!
The policeman watched in shock as the man on the flaming motorcycle laughed maniacally and drove straight toward the building. Rather than crashing into it, the motorcycle seemed to defy the laws of physics as it climbed up the side of the building.
“How is this possible!… Reporting, the target is climbing upwards!” The officer reported with a shocked look on his face.
