Chapter 943: Johnny’s Reminder and Distinction

Half an hour later, Lin Rui and his group left the ruins of San Venganza and returned to the main road. Standing on the side of the highway that crosses the wilderness, the four of them looked back at the ruins of San Venganza one last time. In the bright morning sun, the ruined land seemed to be bathed in a sacred light.

“Johnny, I’m not sure if I’ll have the opportunity to see you again in the future. I hope you would be doing well,” Lin Rui said as he looked back at the ruins and then at Johnny by his side.

“Don’t worry, I don’t think there’s anything in this world that can harm the Ghost Rider,” Johnny replied with a smile after hearing Lin Rui’s words.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Hearing Johnny’s answer, Lin Rui said with a smile, and a faint aura of azure light began to surround his body.

Johnny: “…”

“Okay, it’s time for us to hit the road. Johnny, are you sure you want to go back?” After making a joke, Lin Rui withdrew his internal energy radiance and then continued.

“There are some things that need to be taken care of before we can set off. Besides, I have to return Roxanne home first. Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Johnny said, waving his hand to reassure Lin Rui that he was aware of the potential issues with the police.

“Well, I trust you. Then, I guess this is where we part ways. I hope we’ll have the chance to drink together again when we meet,” Lin Rui said, feeling that it was time to say goodbye.

“Of course, I hope you can keep up with me when we drink next time!” Johnny said with a smile, joking about Lin Rui’s smaller stature.

Just as Lin Rui finished saying goodbye and was about to watch Johnny and Roxanne leave, Johnny walked close to him.

“Jackson, I have something I need to tell you, come here.” Walking to Lin Rui’s side, Johnny leaned closer and whispered.

“Alright.” Seeing Johnny’s movements, Lin Rui’s eyes flashed and he nodded in response.

Johnny and Lin Rui walked a few steps away from Bucky and Roxanne, positioning themselves off to the side of the road.

“What’s going on?” Lin Rui asked Johnny suspiciously after walking over to him.

“It’s probably nothing, but I still feel like I should tell you. Last night, when I was angry, I used the Penance Gaze on you. It wasn’t ineffective, it’s just that your soul is clean. There are no sins that need to be burned by hellfire. But…” Johnny said as he looked at Lin Rui and spoke in a serious tone.

“But what?” Hearing this, Lin Rui asked, growing even more puzzled.

Lin Rui couldn’t help wondering if Johnny had seen that his soul actually came from another world. After all, Lin Rui didn’t know what the Penance Gaze had revealed about his soul.

“But… there seems to be something else hidden deep within your soul,” Seeing the change in Lin Rui’s expression, Johnny finally revealed what he had seen through the Penance Gaze.

“Something else in my soul?” Lin Rui couldn’t help being stunned by Johnny’s answer.

There is indeed something else in Lin Rui’s mind – The system. However, even the Ancient One couldn’t discover the system in Lin Rui’s mind. Could it be that the Ghost Rider did? But based on Johnny’s expression, it doesn’t seem like he found the system. Could it be something else entirely…?

“To be precise, there is another soul-like thing deep within your mind,” Johnny said, giving a more precise explanation.

“Something like a soul!” Now, Lin Rui was really frightened.

Although the system is quite human-like, no matter how Lin Rui thinks about it, it couldn’t have a soul. So when Johnny said that there was another soul-like thing in his mind, he had to consider the possibility.

“Thank you, Johnny!” After a moment of thought, Lin Rui looked at Johnny and thanked him sincerely.

“It’s no problem, I was just worried about you. If you need help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. You know how to find me,” Johnny said while patting Lin Rui on the shoulder and indicating that he had said all he needed to say.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hesitate to ask for your help,” Lin Rui replied, grateful for Johnny’s offer.

After that, Johnny and Lin Rui walked back to join Bucky and Roxanne, side by side.

After greeting Bucky, Johnny got on his motorcycle and Roxanne also said goodbye to Lin Rui and Bucky before getting on the bike with him.

Boom!

Hoo Hoo!

With the roar of the engine, Johnny drove away with Roxanne towards Rochester, leaving Lin Rui and Bucky behind on the deserted intercity highway. Johnny and Roxanne riding off into the distance looked like a heroic couple ready to wander the world.

Bucky, standing next to Lin Rui, looked at the leaving couple and asked, “Jackson, what do you think Johnny and Roxanne’s life will be like in the future? Do you think Johnny’s decision is the right one this time?”

If Johnny decides to utilize his Ghost Rider powers to rid the world of evil then his future may be filled with turmoil. It is not appropriate to compare Johnny’s Ghost Rider to Bucky at this time. Ghost Rider is much more formidable than Bucky, as Ghost Rider is immune to ordinary technological weapons.

“Regardless of what Johnny chooses, it is his own decision and he will have to bear the consequences of his actions. I cannot determine whether or not being Ghost Rider is a burden for Johnny. After all, there is still much evil in the world and I have confidence in Johnny’s ability to handle it.” Lin Rui spoke in a neutral tone as he watched Johnny’s leaving back.

“His own choice?” Bucky looked at Johnny and seemed to have something else on his mind upon hearing Lin Rui’s response.

“We should head out as well. We can’t return to Rochester so we should consider where to go next.” Lin Rui turned in the opposite direction and spoke with a smile on his face. Johnny and Roxanne had already left their sight.

“Where do you want to go?” Bucky asked, not particularly concerned about their destination. He just wanted to have some time to think while they traveled.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just follow this road and see where it takes us. We’ll stop at the first city we come across.” Lin Rui didn’t seem to have a specific destination in mind, so he simply gave a noncommittal response.

“Do you want to walk, stop the car by the side of the road, or use your personal aircraft?” Bucky asked Lin Rui after hearing his response.

When Lin Rui and Johnny reached San Venganza, Bucky noticed the Hoverboard that Lin Rui was standing on. He had never seen it before, but he knew it was a high-tech personal aircraft. Bucky never asked where Lin Rui had obtained it. If he had, Johnny would have told him that Lin Rui seemed to have conjured it out of thin air.

“Let’s walk for now. We can pull over a car if we see one. And let’s leave the Hoverboard here for now.” Lin Rui thought for a moment before responding to Bucky’s question.
