On the highway, a large number of police cars surrounded the vicinity of the pipeline, and every officer had their sidearm drawn and ready.
A bright light shone down from the sky.
An armed helicopter slowly descended, and the police officers on board adjusted their machine guns to aim at the inside of the pipeline.
Such a large display left passersby stunned.
Some even stopped their cars, took out their phones to record, while others tried to get closer to see what was happening inside.
At this point, the police had started shouting commands.
They also tried to contact the officers who had previously entered the pipeline, but received no response.
Just as the Deputy Director was considering whether to send a small team in to investigate, a roar from inside the pipeline shattered his thoughts.
At this moment, the police officers on the front line were infinitely close to the pipe opening.
Their colleagues behind them and the armed helicopter gave them a great sense of security.
The first American police officer cautiously poked his head down to look.
It was at this very instant.
A dark figure rushed out, carrying a human head in its hand; the police officer who had just peeked was already lying on the ground.
The true face of the dark figure was exposed to everyone.
The officers stared wide-eyed at the monster before them, wondering in their hearts what on earth it was.
The Jeepers Creepers was very angry; a thin layer of green skin under his neck spread out with his fury, like a lizard preying, making the Jeepers Creepers even more hideous.
The Deputy Director looked at the Jeepers Creepers, hesitated for a second, then gave the order to open fire.
"Open fire!"
Handguns, submachine guns, countless rounds of ammunition poured out.
The Jeepers Creepers dodged left and right, fleeing towards the field embankment; even when shot, he paid no heed, his speed quickly breaking through the encirclement of fire.
The armed helicopter's searchlight continuously illuminated his position.
The helicopter's machine gunner aimed at the position and quickly opened fire, strafing with machine gun fire; the dense bullets were like a fiery snake devouring the Jeepers Creepers.
The Jeepers Creepers raised his hand to block; bullets passed through his body but did not reduce him to a pile of mush, only causing minor damage.
If one looked closely, they would notice that a small black mist was generated when bullets passed through the Jeepers Creepers's body, and it was this black mist that helped him immune the bullet attacks.
"Hiss!"
The Jeepers Creepers discovered that the unidentified object in the sky didn't seem as strong as he thought; originally, seeing the large number of people, he had wanted to escape, but now…
With a roar, a pair of huge bat wings grew from his back, and he charged towards the armed helicopter, enduring the gunfire.
It was too late when the pilot tried to pull up.
Under the full moon.
Daley had just arrived by car, and as John opened the door, he saw the helicopter lose control and crash from the sky in the distance.
The violent explosion and flames were clearly visible even from several hundred meters away.
One could only say that the Jeepers Creepers was no longer an ordinary carbon-based life form.
If the helicopter had maintained its distance, an Evil Spirit Wendigo, if surrounded, would most likely have been captured.
But then again, the Jeepers Creepers could fly.
John saw the Jeepers Creepers in the moonlight; with a flap of his bat wings, he swooped down towards the police, and each swoop inevitably claimed lives.
He couldn't let him keep killing like this.
If everyone died, it would be his and Daley's turn.
John, having merged with the Evil Spirit Wendigo, left a step ahead of Daley; only after he had integrated into the darkness did he fully unleash his speed.
At this moment on the highway.
The curious onlookers had long since been scared away.
Only the police officers remained, unable to go anywhere; the Jeepers Creepers was very vengeful, and the scene directly devolved into a slaughterhouse, becoming a one-sided massacre.
John approached and hid behind a police car, not acting rashly; the Jeepers Creepers's ability to fly was very disadvantageous to him.
Fortunately, the phantom card could be summoned instantly, and the position where the card appeared was where the monster appeared, so he could use this point.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed something and looked under the car.
The Terrifier was hiding under the car; John's order to him was to investigate, and since he couldn't defeat the Jeepers Creepers, there was no need to go up and suffer; being contained wasn't dying, his mind was still intact.
"Art, come out; you go up and attract the Jeepers Creepers's attention."
Art the Clown revealed a smile uglier than a cry, obediently crawled out from under the car, then took a hammer from a plastic bag and rushed forward without hesitation.
The Jeepers Creepers was preying and was about to attack the police officer in front of him when he suddenly took a hammer to the head.
He slowly turned around, and at some point, a black and white clown had appeared before him, even giving him a friendly smile as if performing.
The surviving officers were able to catch their breath, and they didn't forget to warn their savior.
"Clown over there, you'd better run fast."
The Jeepers Creepers revealed a ferocious grin, walked up to the clown, and slapped him.
The clown's head rotated 360 degrees, but strangely, the clown did not die.
John had already crept to the back; he didn't advance further, and a Four of Diamonds appeared in his hand.
This position was not good, and an officer had spotted him.
The Deputy Director made a gesture, signaling John to leave quickly, but John didn't understand and gave the officer a shushing gesture.
The Jeepers Creepers had already lifted the Terrifier, preparing to tear him limb from limb; Art still had a smile on his face as he was lifted.
The phantom card in his hand flew out silently.
With a thought in John's mind.
A terrifying monster covered in bone spurs appeared out of thin air above the Jeepers Creepers, directly pinning him down, holding him tightly, and then its bone spurs violently expanded.
Like a mutated hedgehog, its bone spurs could retract and extend at will.
The Evil Spirit Wendigo's bone spurs pierced through the Jeepers Creepers's entire body, including his newly unfurled bat wings.
Art scrambled away, but he didn't crawl fast because his lower body had also been pierced by bone spurs, so he could only crawl.
John breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.
The Deputy Director witnessed everything, looking at John with suspicion, poised to draw his gun and shoot at any moment.
"I am an exorcist; this monster is my containment object. You might not believe it, but that's the truth. Besides, I saved you all; you shouldn't point a gun at my head, should you?"
The Deputy Director hesitated for a moment, then lowered his gun, choosing to believe John.
Looking at the Evil Spirit Wendigo, if the other party wanted to kill him, there would be no need for this, plus he had indeed saved his men.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
John stepped forward to check the situation and found that the Jeepers Creepers was not dead, merely unable to break free from the Evil Spirit Wendigo's embrace, nor could he break its defense.
Good thing.
If the Jeepers Creepers truly took to the sky, even John would be helpless against him.
The Jeepers Creepers's flight altitude was even higher than that of an armed helicopter.
The surviving officers were very panicky.
At the crucial moment, the Deputy Director stepped forward to stabilize the situation and informed everyone of John's identity as an exorcist, which finally calmed things down.
Only then did John realize that this chubby middle-aged man was actually the Deputy Director of the police station.
"Deputy Director, I plan to take this monster for containment; you don't mind, do you?"
The Deputy Director glanced at the Evil Spirit Wendigo, which was as robust as a small mountain, covered in vicious bone spurs, and the Jeepers Creepers struggling in its embrace, then revealed an exceptionally friendly smile.
"Sir, you may dispose of it as you wish; I have no objections whatsoever. Oh, by the way, may I add your contact information?"
John smiled at the fawning Deputy Director.
"Of course."
By the time Daley drove over, the matter had already been resolved. When he learned from the officers that John was an exorcist, his gaze towards him changed.
Originally, he had somewhat disliked his sister being with this person, but now he had an idea…
…
