The Immortal Jason
Chapter 622 The Immortal Jason
"Perhaps you are right, the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on."
After defeating the Nightmare Freddy, Constantine recalled the entire exorcism process and sincerely praised Mike.
Exorcism is important, but healing people's wounds is equally important.
This was something Constantine had never considered before.
More than an hour has passed since the nightmare was defeated, and it is now afternoon.
The group found a restaurant on Elm Street, planning to grab a bite before heading to Crystal Lake Camp.
"Sorry, it seems I couldn't be of any help this time." Bruce, the trainee angel who had seen many big scenes with Mike, seemed a little frustrated that he couldn't even deal with a little devil this time.
"Don't overthink it. This time, the demon situation is a bit special. It's normal that you can't handle it," Mike comforted the still-naive apprentice angel in front of him.
In fact, with the power of their faith, dealing with ordinary demons would be no problem.
With more time to develop, it's not impossible to deal with a nightmare like Freddy.
In short, given his own power of faith, his future is promising.
"Let's go, before it gets dark, let's take care of the demon in Crystal Lake too." Seeing that everyone seemed to have no appetite, Mike didn't waste any more time.
After obtaining the consent of the group, the four of them, along with their driver Nidi, drove to the Crystal Lake campground in the suburbs.
This place used to be a summer camp, but it has been abandoned for a long time since the murder case.
"As far as we know, that serial killer named Jason is actually a pathetic guy. And his hunting range is limited to this camp and the woods next to it..." After arriving at the ruined camp, Father James began to introduce the information he had investigated.
Before Michael arrived in Pennsylvania, Father James and his two companions had investigated two eerie paranormal incidents in the area.
Unlike Freddy, the nightmare who actively commits evil, Jason was originally just a disabled and mentally challenged child, whose mother was an employee of this summer camp.
However, due to mismanagement of the summer camp, his mother died in an accident.
Without his mother's protection, Jason was soon pushed into Crystal Lake by several unruly children at the summer camp and drowned.
Their fate was truly tragic.
It then transformed into a monster and began to take revenge on the people of the camp.
“It’s a tragic story. As the origin of all this, this camp should never have existed in the first place.” After listening to the priest’s story, Mike shook his head and summoned flames, setting the dilapidated summer camp ruins in front of him ablaze.
Just then, a figure emerged from the blazing firelight, wearing a hockey mask and wielding a curved knife.
Upon seeing someone vandalizing the camp, the figure roared and charged towards the group.
"Leave this to us. We can't always wait for you to make a move," Father James said, stopping Mike as he prepared to act.
Unlike Nightmare, Jason the serial killer is a demon with a physical form, so he is not as difficult to deal with.
The priest, who had previously made a brief appearance, seems to want to make his presence felt.
"OK, same old rules, I'll keep watch." Watching the murderer limping towards the group, Mike shrugged and withdrew the power of faith from his hand.
"Can Jason understand me? I feel sorry for what happened to you, but that's all in the past. You've avenged yourself and your mother. Now, let go of your hatred, and perhaps you can find redemption..." Father James seemed genuinely sympathetic to Jason's plight, and even tried to persuade him before taking action.
However, the already irrational killer was now further enraged by the camp fire and didn't listen to what the priest was saying at all.
It just kept roaring and approaching the crowd.
"Unfortunately, it seems there's no way to communicate." After making some efforts, Father James saw that the other party was still determined to go his own way, so he decisively raised the special shotgun in his hand.
"Bang~"
With a deafening roar, iron sand mixed with holy crystal material sent the slow-moving murderer flying.
Under the influence of the Holy Crystal, Jason, who was lying on the ground, had a lot of white smoke rising from his body.
Amidst screams of agony, they were utterly powerless to resist.
"Bruce, the rest is up to you." With a hint of sympathy, Father James did not continue to kill him.
In his view, Jason, who had always stayed at the camp where his mother had worked, was a soul worth saving.
Yes, Jason is actually a killer with principles; those he kills are all "intruders."
In particular, those young people who chose to have affairs here because Crystal Lake was remote were regarded as sinners who had tarnished their mothers' working environment.
Therefore, his motive for murder can be considered reasonable and well-founded.
Therefore, Father James wanted Bruce to purify the demon's evil energy and send him to hell for reincarnation. However, just as Bruce approached and gathered the purifying power, Jason, who was already severely injured, suddenly disappeared before everyone's eyes.
[Immortality (Weak) Trait]...[Invisibility (Weak) Trait]...[Teleportation (Weak) Trait]...
[Demon Power * Energy +100w]...
It is indeed a demon with some power, but it is still very weak.
Having obtained several orbs of light, Mike gave his assessment of the serial killer Jason.
"James, it's behind you~" Mike reminded the priest as he accepted the ball of light.
Despite his weakness, Jason's abilities are still quite good for an ordinary person.
"Zi La~"
Trusting Mike, Father James turned and raised his shotgun to block.
The screeching sound of the blades scraping against the ground just happened to block the scimitar in the killer's hand.
In a split second, the killer vanished from everyone's sight once again, relying on his fighting instincts.
Jason's strength was much greater than that of an average person, but it was still acceptable for Father James, who was training his muscles.
But the lack of opponents is a major headache for him.
"Let me do it~"
Seeing that the priest was at a loss, Constantine stepped forward and took out a handful of fine sand from the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
It was scattered around the campsite in the cold winter wind.
Soon enough, Jason's footsteps became visible on the ground.
Since the camp was burned down, it seemed to have no intention of escaping.
As the footprints drew closer, Father James, who had been treated like an easy target, no longer held back, unleashing a barrage of flames from his holy crystal weapon.
Forced to reveal himself once again, Jason lay on the ground, riddled with holes, barely alive.
Bruce, who was prepared in advance, then stepped forward and unleashed his purifying power.
As a soft, holy light flashed, Jason slowly stopped struggling, and human emotions gradually returned to his eyes.
In the surprised eyes of everyone.
After getting up, Jason the serial killer knelt down facing the summer camp that had been burned to ashes, tears of sorrow streaming down his face.
"Why do we look like the bad guys?" Sensing Jason's sadness, Father James put down his spray gun again.
“No, strictly speaking, you’re the only bad guy…” Mike glanced at the priest and said, “And you know what, you’re not suited for the tough-guy-with-a-soft-heart style. It will put you in danger.”
Father James's momentary leniency has put him in a dangerous situation.
If Mike hadn't warned him in time, he would have at least experienced what it felt like to be seriously injured.
“Okay, I’ll be more careful next time.” Father James knew he had made a serious mistake.
Perhaps because he knew about Jason's tragic past, he genuinely felt some sympathy for him.
"Two choices: I'll send you to hell, or you stay and atone for your mistakes." After teasing the priest, Mike stopped berating him and walked over to Jason, who had clearly regained his humanity.
“I forgot you can’t speak.” After staring at each other for a while, Mike activated his mind-reading ability on Jason.
"There's still hope... From now on, you'll work as Constantine's henchman."
Jason's "Undying" ability is among the strongest of ordinary demons, making him a perfect meat shield.
Mike, who was keen to strengthen Constantine's power, could conveniently do him a favor.
Then he took out the Gospels, sealed Jason inside, and then tossed it to Constantine to study on his own.
With the sealing power as a safety net, even if Jason wants to turn against them later, he won't be able to cause any trouble.
