Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 922: Squatting

When Johnny returned to Rochester on his bike, he found that the area where he had transformed into Ghost Rider the previous night was now surrounded by engineering teams. The police were also investigating the scene, as Blackheart had shot and killed two innocent people the previous night.

Police Captain Dolan of the Rochester police department had personally come to the scene to investigate this matter, but even with a large number of police forces, they were unable to fully understand the damage caused by the Ghost Rider or the deaths of the two innocent people at the hands of Blackheart.

With Roxanne’s help, Captain Dolan had a clue about a religious fanatic, but there were still many strange aspects to the deaths of the two men from sulfur poisoning. As Johnny slowly pushed his bike back to his residence, he saw Roxanne who was interviewing a chubby young girl near the scene.

This fat girl had been robbed the previous night and was rescued by Ghost Rider. Therefore, despite Ghost Rider’s terrifying appearance, the fat girl tried to describe him as a normal human being in her interview.

Johnny, who was standing nearby and listening to the girl’s description, silently touched his face and thought, “Is that what I look like?”

“Thank you for your help. Here is the report from Roxanne Simpson from the scene,” Roxanne said with a suppressed smile, ending the interview in front of the camera. As she put down the microphone, she saw Johnny walking towards her.

Originally, Roxanne had planned to leave, as Johnny had not spoken to her much the previous day. However, now that Johnny knows his true nature, he wants to have no regrets at the end of his life.

Therefore, he stopped in front of Roxanne and greeted her with a smile. “Hey, Roxanne!” His burly body stood directly in front of her.

If there is no way for Johnny to escape his fate as Ghost Rider, he will probably die while trying to capture Blackheart. Therefore, since he has now reunited with his first love, whom he has never forgotten, Johnny doesn’t want to miss her again. Even if he can’t escape death in the end, he wants to have some good memories in his final days.

“Who are you?” Roxanne asked rudely as Johnny blocked her way and tried to stop her from walking around him.

However, Johnny was not willing to let her go. “Roxanne, I was wrong before, but I have my own problems too and I’ve learned some things. I don’t want to keep regretting it, so I came to you,” Johnny said, trying to explain himself sincerely despite knowing that Roxanne was angry with him.

“Regret? That’s why you came to me? Johnny, have you always had feelings for me?” Roxanne asked bluntly after hearing Johnny’s words.

“Roxanne, of course, I have,” Johnny started to say, but Roxanne interrupted him.

“My father was right, you’re just a phase and this regret is just a whim,” She said. “If you really had feelings for me, you wouldn’t have acted the way you did yesterday.”

Without giving Johnny a chance to explain further, Roxanne pushed him away and walked towards the interview car on the stage. With a loud slam, she shut the door and drove away, leaving Johnny feeling helpless.

Boom! Slamming the door shut, Roxanne had already thrown Johnny out of her mind. Under the admiring gaze of the cameraman, Roxanne directly pointed her eyes at him and told/ordered him to drive.

Johnny felt helpless seeing her leave but he also knew that Roxanne must be angry now, and he would still have a chance.

Then, Johnny pushed the bike back to his residence. After Johnny left, two people who had been watching the scene from the sidelines emerged: They were Bucky and Lin Rui.

They had driven back earlier and had been standing in the crowd watching Roxanne’s interview with the fat girl, and they had overheard the conversation between Johnny and Roxanne.

“I didn’t expect Johnny to be in such a difficult situation and yet still thinking about flirting with a girl,” Bucky said.

Lin Rui chuckled and replied as he looked at the expression on Bucky’s face. “Well, he’s pretty calm. Maybe he has accepted his fate.”

“Accepted his fate?” Bucky replied and his low emotional intelligence showed itself. “I don’t think that’s possible. Johnny doesn’t strike me as a guy who gives up that easily. But I’m curious to see what will happen tonight. Do you think we should keep an eye on him tonight?”

Lin Rui looked at the street, which had been destroyed several times by Ghost Rider, and said with a twinkle in his eye, “Aren’t you worried about those evil spirits and fallen angels from hell that the old man talked about? Your weapons probably won’t be able to deal with them.”

Bucky responded with uncertainty, “I’m just planning to hide on the side and see what happens. But I have a feeling that I might be able to help somehow.”

“Ok, I should be able to help him too.” Knowing that Bucky was concerned for him, Lin Rui squeezed his fist as he replied. As he did so, Bucky could clearly feel a special energy fluctuation coming from him. Lin Rui had apparently gained more control over his internal energy since the previous day.

Lin Rui also felt like he had an endless supply of power. Even if these things really do come from hell, his subconscious was telling him, “Don’t be a coward! Just do it!”

Feeling the powerful energy fluctuations on Lin Rui, Bucky’s eyes became firmer as he said, “Alright, I’ll continue to join you on this crazy adventure. Even if this situation exceeds our expectations, it doesn’t matter and maybe those guys from hell are just scaring people, maybe they aren’t that scary.”

Hearing Bucky’s words, Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Let’s go find a good spot to hide and observe Johnny’s residence.” The two of them left the line of spectators and searched for a suitable place to hide nearby.

The next step is to wait for the night to come. After Bucky and Lin Rui left the scene, the forensic team continues to diligently search the area. They discover various clues, including a partially burned and unrecognizable license plate. As night approaches, the team must wait for further developments.

The license plate that was discovered by the forensics team at the scene is the same one that Johnny had lost the previous night. It is also the license plate of his beloved motorcycle. However, it is still possible to restore the license plate if it is taken to a professional laboratory.

As Lin Rui and Bucky observe from outside Johnny’s house, they witness Johnny confessing to Roxanne, who is shocked by his outburst. Suddenly, police cars arrive and surround Johnny. Lin Rui and Bucky remain in their crouched position until nightfall, observing the scene that is unfolding before their eyes.

Bang Bang Bang!

As the officers emerged from the police car, they shouted, “Hands up! Don’t move!” This classic phrase is often used by law enforcement to indicate that a person is under arrest.
