"Are you sure he won't cause us any trouble?" Steve looked at Johnny Blaze's photo. It was a picture of Johnny Blaze riding a stunt motorcycle and leaping over dozens of trucks. There were also some photos of a skeleton knight riding a flaming motorcycle that had been washed with a special potion.
"If a man sells his soul to the devil … freedom has nothing to do with him!" Chen Ang leaned back in his office chair and tidied up his personal belongings that the PRL had sent over.
"Don't think that Johnny Blaze is a hero or an anti-hero just because he killed a lot of bad guys and judged their souls. In fact, he's just a puppet driven by the devil. His conscience is just a tool the devil uses to play with his soul. "
"So his position doesn't matter. What matters is Mephitos' position!"
"That devil can't be on our side …" Steve sighed.
Chen Ang carefully hung a hockey mask on the wall and said, "So … we have to pull out its claws and teeth first. The souls that Mephitos tempted are mainly in Europe. The PRL and the European Community will be responsible for dealing with them. In the New Continent, although Mephitos is not as deeply rooted as in Old Europe and has many trump cards, there is no doubt that the number of worshippers controlled by the devil is still astonishing … "
"When I was in the insurance business in America, I dealt with some cults that worshipped him, so I know a lot about this!"
Steve curiously picked up an old-fashioned videotape and casually asked, "What did you send Dr. Strange and Kong Kenan to do?"
"Deal with his Senior Brother … Let them handle Kamar-Taj's family matters themselves. I sent Kong Kenan just in case … In case Strange is unwilling to kill his Senior Brother! You'd better put down that videotape. "
"Oh?" Steve put it in front of him and observed it carefully, but he did not find anything wrong.
"What's so special about it?"
"This is a sealed meme carrier. There's some bad information recorded in it. I can show it to you … Then, at midnight, you'll receive some special phone calls … Seven days later, a woman will come to your door to comfort you. Be careful … If the meme leaks out, it'll be very troublesome to seal it again! "
"You've collected a lot of weird stuff!" Steve picked up another glass jar.
He looked into the jar and saw some humus soil. There seemed to be some tiny insects crawling in it. He asked curiously, "What is this?"
"There was a serious case of parasitic infection at JFK International Airport. All the passengers on the plane were infected and died. Later, the insurance company sent me to deal with the insurance issues of the passengers on the plane. After investigation, it was found that the parasite originated from an undeclared piece of luggage on the plane — a wooden coffin that had just been excavated."
"The parasite came from there … Later, we had to burn the entire plane … We also sent planes to use incendiary bombs to clean up the soil at the place where the coffin was found, completely eliminating the possible source of infection. This is … the last sample of the rotten soil in the coffin … it contains the parasite protozoa … we can't let it come into contact with the human body. "
Steve was shocked. "We should get rid of this thing!"
"You can't just store it in a completely unprotected glass bottle."
"Don't worry … It can't be any safer now!" Chen Ang hammered the glass jar hard, startling Steve. He laughed and said, "You think this is a glass jar? No … even a tank isn't as strong as this! "
Steve took out another envelope. He waved it at Chen Ang and asked, "What's this dangerous thing?"
"It's an ordinary envelope. There's only the most ordinary note in the envelope. On the note, there's a name and a fear about it." "It's nothing at all … It's just the name of a good old man on Elm Street … If you want to take it away, I can also give you a hockey mask that embodies motherly love."
"You also collect dolls?" Steve took out a very old plastic doll covered in wounds and dust. "Is this something like a voodoo doll from Voodoo?"
"It does look like it … I've been studying how it gained life and soul. Voodoo wizards are just a hypothesis, but it hasn't come into contact with the history of voodoo magic." Chen Ang explained to Steve while carefully placing several parchment books and bamboo slips on the bookshelf.
Steve put down the doll and noticed a flowerpot on the windowsill. Inside it was an orchid with straight stems and orange flowers. "I've never seen this plant before!"
"The 'Stairway of the Sun' … It was just rescued from the Ndipaya ruins a few days ago!"
"Should I put it here?" Steve asked.
Chen Ang poured water on it and said, "There's some in the lab … but I think it should be exposed to sunlight, so I brought one to the office … maybe it can protect against radiation?"
As Chen Ang placed the 'Stairway of the Sun' beside the computer, the flower of the 'Stairway of the Sun' that was originally facing the sun suddenly turned towards the computer. Steve noticed that Chen Ang's computer screen suddenly changed. In that instant, he discovered that the 'Stairway of the Sun' seemed to be connected to the internet. Steve leapt up from his chair …
"There's something wrong with this thing!" He told Chen Ang.
"Yes … .it's gathering information online!" Chen Ang replied calmly.
"It's a Famine Variant … .you're just going to leave it defenseless beside the computer?" Steve anxiously asked.
Chen Ang didn't mind. "Steve, when this plant was plundered from the Ndipaya tribe, you should already know that it's out of control. We only have a small portion of its remnant roots here, while Thanos and his allies have thousands of times more. The worst has already happened. "
"Do you think I'm absolutely safe just because I've carefully guarded this thing?"
"Right now, it's more important to understand them. It's precisely because I've come into contact with them that I understand that the 'Stairway of the Sun' is actually a species with collective consciousness. This' Stairway of the Sun 'of mine is merely an insignificant tentacle of their collective consciousness. Right now, it can only communicate with the computer. But if it's this plant, it's like a gigantic signal receiver that can receive global electromagnetic waves. Their complex neural network can be connected to our network. "
"I've already identified their unique network signals and sent them to the ICLEI and S.H.I.E.L.D. for them to lock onto these signals and strengthen their defences, so as to prevent more confidential information from leaking out."
"You should be thankful that this plant hasn't fully awakened. Its signal reception is still instinctive and doesn't have any technology to speak of. But once it truly awakens, it can actively manipulate electromagnetic signals and is fully capable of invading any network on Earth. As long as it has wireless signals … "
Steve was speechless. He saw Chen Ang place a specimen labeled "Fujiang" in Japanese — a jar of meat in a corrosive liquid — on a shelf. He reached for the camera and briefcase next to him, and said to Steve, "Take your shield. Let's go meet that Johnny Blaze!"
Chen Ang picked up a shabby voodoo doll, patted the dust off it, and said, "Bring it along. I want to see what special characteristics the soul of the famous Ghost Rider has!"
"You plan to seal his soul into this doll?" Steve picked up the divine shield and put it on his back. He looked at Chen Ang, who had a camera around his neck, glasses, and a briefcase under his arm. He looked like a reporter, but he was holding an irrelevant rag doll in his hand. Steve felt very awkward.
"Yes!" Chen Ang said. "Since it's an evil spirit … we have to be careful and seal it. This voodoo doll is a trophy I left behind when I cleaned up the wizards in Haiti a few years ago. The soul of the Witch's Heart Demon was sealed here in the past … Later, it was consumed during an experiment … "
"Speaking of which … it seems that half of Jonathan Blaze's soul is still mine!" Chen Ang thought to himself. "I'll have to go through the experiment records of the Spirit of Vengeance when I get back … In any case, whether it's the batch I made or the one that naturally reproduced. Mephitos used my property as an experimental subject — all humans are my property — so there's no doubt that I have ownership of the soul in his hands … It's decided happily. I'll ask him for it back when I have time! "
