Tony and the others turned their attention back to the pale blue ball of light after hearing Peter’s words.
“The specifics of this A-level incident are still being determined based on the information that has been relayed back. It seems that neither the local police in Rochester nor Falcon from SHIELD have a complete understanding of the events that transpired,” JARVIS continued, noticing that Tony and the others were looking at it expectantly.
Brush!
Before Tony and the others could ask any more questions, JARVIS projected a light directly in front of them. A decrypted message appeared on the light, providing some clarity on the situation. While the message was not particularly long and was slightly out of date, it was enough to give them a general idea of what had occurred.
“Johnny Blaze is not the murderer responsible for the victim’s death. He is a person with special powers who has been cursed by demons. This incident is not as straightforward as it appears and the local police force is not equipped to handle the malevolent spirits behind it. I will work with Johnny to resolve this issue and ask that you do not interfere unless absolutely necessary. If there are no additional innocent casualties within a day, it means we have been successful. If you wish to learn more about this incident, you can refer to stories about the legendary Hell Demon and Hellfire.” This was the message that JARVIS had received at the time, though it did not specify the source. It simply explained the events that were taking place in Rochester.
“Are you sure this message is accurate? Demons, ghosts, hell… is this really what happened to Jackson?” Tony asked, frowning after quickly scanning the message.
It was not surprising that he had doubts. As a scientific expert, Tony was well-versed in all kinds of high technology, but these supernatural occurrences were something he struggled to understand.
“If I am not mistaken, this is the message that was sent back by Jackson. Additionally, based on my interpretation of various stories involving teleportation, there are indeed tales of hell demons incarnating in human form in order to deceive ordinary people into signing contracts to become hell messengers. These messengers will use hellfire to deal with demonic enemies,” JARVIS calmly replied to Tony’s question.

“Mr. Stark, we just dealt with an alien invasion a few days ago, so it’s not entirely unreasonable to think that demons might also exist. And it’s not uncommon for Jackson to find himself in strange situations,” Peter pointed out after seeing Tony’s doubts.
While Peter also found it difficult to believe that there could really be hell and demons in this world, if Jackson said it was true, he was willing to accept it. After all, since becoming Spiderman, Peter’s worldview had been constantly expanding and evolving.
“I also have some surveillance footage from the local police, as well as footage of the SHIELD team led by Falcon battling the target,” JARVIS continued after Peter finished speaking.
“Alright, show me the footage. I want to see what kind of demon Jackson is talking about,” Tony said, waving his hand impatiently as JARVIS mentioned the existence of a video.
Swipe Swipe~
The light that had displayed Lin Rui’s message expanded rapidly, filling almost the entire space in front of Tony and the others. It was slightly concave, forming an arc. JARVIS then started playing the surveillance video of Rochester police arresting Johnny, followed by footage of Johnny transforming inside the police station.
Although the police surveillance video itself had mediocre pixelation, so the image quality was not particularly clear. However, thanks to JARVIS’s post-processing, Tony and the others were able to get a clear sense of what was happening in the footage.
As Johnny was being placed in a temporary detention cell and surrounded by the gangsters, Tony and the others remained expressionless. However, a strong burst of flames suddenly erupted from the center of the group, pushing the gangsters away from Johnny.
Boom!
After the fire broke out, the police station’s fire alarm system was activated and the automatic sprinkler system also reduced the clarity of the monitoring screen. Tony and the others could only see a fuzzy figure walking out of the cell surrounded by flames.
According to surveillance footage obtained by JARVIS from various locations within the police station, the flaming figure walked out of the station and got on a bike that was also on fire. The figure then arrogantly rode the bike away, leaving the police station in chaos.
“This is surveillance footage from the local police station. It is clear that the figure who stormed out of the police station in a fit of anger is Johnny,” JARVIS said as the video ended and the figure rode away on the bike.
As they watched the final scene which contained a frozen image of the Ghost Rider riding away from the police station on the bike, Tony, Peter, and the others fell silent. It was clear that the video had also surprised and shocked them.
“So, can Johnny really burst into flames all over like that? It looks like the mutation ability of mutants,” Tony said after a moment of silence.
“It doesn’t seem to be just anger… I think I saw a skeleton…” Peter added uncertainly.
As for Daredevil, he can only rely on sound effects and can’t see anything.
“It is indeed a skeleton. The video from SHIELD is much clearer,” JARVIS said, represented by a few jumps of light blue light, in response to Peter’s words.

The image on the light curtain then quickly dissipated and was replaced by a video of SHIELD fighting Ghost Rider. This time, the video began with a very intense fight. The camera shook violently, indicating that it was likely recorded by a soldier on the battlefield.
In this SHIELD video, Tony and the others were finally able to see what Ghost Rider looked like up close and clearly. Upon seeing the flaming skeleton, both Tony and Peter had shocked expressions in their eyes. It became clear to them that this was not a normal mutant transformation.
Furthermore, Ghost Rider seemed completely unafraid of the weapons used by the SHIELD special warfare team and had the upper hand in the fight against Falcon. From the various angles shown in the video, it appeared that Ghost Rider was only focused on breaking through and did not get caught up in the fight. After injuring Falcon’s flying wings, Ghost Rider laughed wildly and broke free, leaving a stylishly behind once again.
Shout~
The video paused at various points, but it was enough for Tony and the others to get a sense of the situation.
“It looks like this guy may really be cursed by the devil,” Tony said.
