Taggart Farm.
As Daly slowly drove in, the father and son farm owners, who were working, put down their chores and exchanged confused glances.
"Jackie, watch Billy. I'll go see what's happening."
Old Man Taggart instructed his eldest son, then got up and walked towards the car.
He had never seen this unfamiliar car, and seeing the three young people inside, two men and one woman, they clearly weren't there for business.
Old Man Taggart wondered if they were in some kind of trouble, while slowly approaching them.
He hadn't forgotten about the missing persons cases mentioned on the radio, so he was extra cautious with strangers.
"Hey, who are you, and what are you doing here?"
When he was three meters from the car, Old Man Taggart planted his pitchfork and shouted.
In America, facing strangers, his reaction was actually quite friendly.
He didn't pull out a gun directly at them, nor did he use any foul language. They truly were a family brave enough to confront an Ogre head-on.
At this moment, Chris recognized the person in front of him; it was the farm owner from Jeepers Creepers 2.
In Jeepers Creepers 1, after the Ogre ate Daly's eyeballs, he gained normal eyesight.
Therefore, his hunting range became much wider, and it extended to the Taggart family.
His youngest son was taken by the Ogre, and it was Old Man Taggart who delivered the final blow to capture the Ogre.
Unfortunately, he lacked the knowledge and didn't think of using technology to kill the Ogre, which led to the Ogre's revival and escape 23 years later.
However, Chris was now preparing to make up for the regrets in the original story, so he no longer dwelled on the ridiculous actions of the plot characters.
"Don't misunderstand, we caught a strange monster and want to borrow your wood chipper. Oh, and some gasoline."
Chris got out of the car, raised his hands to show he meant no harm, and invited them to look in the trunk.
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll pay."
At this point, Tracy also got out of the car and fumbled out fifty dollars to hand over.
However, Old Man Taggart glanced at Tracy, his brows furrowing.
These impolite city people!
"Let me see what kind of monster it is, then I'll decide whether to help you."
Chris was indifferent to this; he had intended to let them see the Ogre's body parts anyway.
According to the original plot, the Ogre would revive every 23 years for 23 days, then hunt frantically during those 23 days before falling into slumber again.
Just like a cicada, which is why this Ogre is also called the Creeper.
In the original story, Old Man Taggart was able to catch the Ogre precisely because the monster had entered its slumber period; otherwise, Old Man Taggart might have failed.
So, Old Man Taggart, who was in his forties or fifties, must have heard of this Ogre, or at least had some impression of it.
After all, based on the timeline, the last time the Ogre came out to hunt was during Old Man Taggart's youth.
And each time the Ogre revived, it would cause at least a hundred casualties. Such big news, he would surely have heard a little about it.
"Come on, take a look at this Ogre that was lurking on East Highway 9."
Chris opened the trunk, and several cloth bags containing the Ogre's body parts came into Old Man Taggart's view.
Looking at the still-moving cloth bags, Old Man Taggart's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Then Chris untied one of the cloth bags, and the black flesh inside appeared before Old Man Taggart.
The strange chunks of meat, mixed with a bizarre smell, immediately made the old farm owner's expression change.
He was now eighty to ninety percent convinced, confirming that this thing was the mysterious legend.
"Phew! How did you catch this monster? The rumors say this thing can overturn a bus; it's not something humans can deal with at all."
Old Man Taggart let out a long breath, then became curious about how Chris and the other two managed to deal with this thing.
Daly heard this and wanted to explain, but Tracy was prepared and silenced him with a look.
Chris was too lazy to explain anything further. As he gathered the bags containing the body parts, he chuckled, "Uncle, what era is it now? You seem to have underestimated the power of modern weapons!"
"This..."
Chris's single sentence left Old Man Taggart speechless. After all, others hadn't witnessed the Ogre's methods, and even Old Man Taggart, who had grown up here, only knew some distorted rumors.
Seeing him still hesitating, Chris continued to bluff, "Fragment grenades, stun grenades, chainsaws, animal traps, tasers, plus my strong physique. If I can catch a Tyrannosaurus Rex, can't I catch this little Creeper?"
"Heh heh, if you say so!"
Seeing Chris speak like that, Old Man Taggart no longer dwelled on it. As long as he was sure that this harmful creature had been caught, that was enough.
"You want to use the wood chipper, right? Come with me."
Since he was sure that Chris and the others wanted to deal with the Creeper, there was no need for him to stop them. He led Chris to his workshop.
As a farm owner, a wood chipper was essential for disposing of agricultural waste and repairing dead wood and roots.
So, after Chris discovered this farm, he had Daly drive over.
He just didn't expect that this farm happened to belong to the farm owner's family from Jeepers Creepers 2.
But these were all insignificant matters. As long as the Ogre was ground into a pulp and then mixed with gasoline and burned to ashes...
Then their family would naturally not be separated, and even the students and teachers on the original school bus would not be in danger.
Oh, and the plot of Jeepers Creepers 3, which was sandwiched between the two movies, those police officers would also be safe.
I really did a great deed!
The Ogre's body parts, along with the cloth bags, were thrown into the wood chipper. As the machine started, a pool of meat paste mixed with wood chips appeared in no time.
Seeing some remaining meat paste in the wood chipper, Chris, not reassured, threw in another piece of wood to carry out the remaining paste.
Old Man Taggart, who was about to turn off the machine, saw Chris's action and stopped his hand, speechless.
This young man, so young, yet so cautious.
Did he watch too many horror movies?
Ignoring Old Man Taggart's thoughts, Chris continued, "Do you have gasoline? Burn this stuff too."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Old Man Taggart didn't expect Chris to really go to such extremes. He looked at the silent Creeper meat paste, thought about it, and decided it was better to listen to the young man.
"Jackie, go get a bucket of gasoline!"
Shouting to his eldest son, who was watching from the doorway, Old Man Taggart fell silent.
When Jackie came over with the gasoline, Chris casually took it and poured it directly over the Ogre meat paste.
He had a premonition that if left unchecked, in 23 years, another Ogre could crawl out of this meat paste.
Therefore, he requested to add more fire to burn the Ogre to ashes.
After all, a psychic appeared in the movie, and the Ogre's weapons and vehicle also seemed to be enhanced with witchcraft.
This indicated that this Ogre was not a simple physical monster; it might also involve mysterious powers.
But fortunately, those witchcraft powers were not strong, and fire, which has the power to ward off evil in any kind of power, could solve it.
As the gasoline was poured, Old Man Taggart threw down a match, and a whoosh of flames erupted.
The black meat paste, mixed with gasoline and wood chips, became the best fuel, causing the flames to leap higher than a person, almost touching the warehouse ceiling.
Under such fierce fire, the few people present vaguely heard a wail, but it disappeared in an instant, like a hallucination.
Only Chris was certain that this was the anomaly of the Ogre being truly destroyed.
And as the Ogre completely died, Chris also felt a white plume of energy being swallowed by him, but this time he didn't know what it was.
