Preparing to Run

Jason: (.＿.)

Meng Zu: (゜一゜)

Before being transported here, Meng Zu had rarely watched horror movies. It definitely was not because he was timid; he simply did not like them. Although he had never watched Friday the 13th, he still knew something about this horror franchise hailed as the longest-running in film history.

Seeing Jason now left Meng Zu somewhat bewildered. He had not expected that not only had the John Wick series been integrated into this world, but Friday the 13th had as well. What kind of Marvel Cinematic Universe was this?

Bang!

Multifunctional Bullets activated. Meng Zu raised his gun and shot Jason in the head. The Holy Light Bullet struck the eye socket of the hockey mask dead-on. A spray of filthy blood burst out, and Jason's massive body swayed twice before crashing to the ground.

Rather than inspect Jason, Meng Zu seized the chance to run toward Sam and the other three. He remembered Jason had an immortal body. That shot probably would not finish him off.

Meng Zu shouted at the four, who were still vomiting violently, "Stop puking! Get in the car, we need to run!"

Meng Zu had just shot Jamie and Lisa in the head, one bullet each, right in front of Sam's group. When had four young people still in school ever seen such a shocking scene? They had witnessed brutal headshots from close range. Though those two were not human, they looked very much like people. The immense mental shock made all four of them suffer stomach spasms, bend over, and vomit.

"M-Mr. Meng Zu, behind you!" Sam wiped his mouth with his hand, then looked up and pointed behind Meng Zu with a terrified expression.

Meng Zu turned around and saw Jason standing up completely unscathed, his machete in hand as he ran toward him. Mary Shaw had also recovered and was drifting through the air toward him.

"Damn it!"

Bang! Bang!

Meng Zu immediately blew both their heads apart with two shots, and the two of them instantly collapsed again.

"Anna, start the car!" Meng Zu shouted at Anna without turning his head.

Meng Zu carefully observed Jason and Mary Shaw's bodies. He saw black mist rising from them, then flowing into their heads and pouncing upon the two Holy Light Bullets. Before long, the glowing Holy Light Bullets reverted to ordinary bullets.

The black mist seemed alive. It wrapped around the bullets in their heads and forced them out. The large holes in their heads rapidly healed, and even Jason's shattered hockey mask restored itself at the same time.

Bang! Bang!

While they were still recovering, Meng Zu used two more Holy Light Bullets to blow apart their heads again. At that moment, Anna successfully started the car.

Meng Zu immediately ran to the car and squeezed Anna into the passenger seat. He spun the wheel, stepped on the gas, and drove back onto the highway.

Meng Zu increased the speed and reminded the four, "Fasten your seat belts. I'm accelerating."

What they had just experienced had left Sam and the others pale and listless. Anna looked at Meng Zu from the passenger seat and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Meng Zu, what were those things?"

Meng Zu took out a Blue Potion and drank it. "Who the hell knows what those things were? Anyway, I can't handle them. The best thing we can do now is stay far away from them."

He had used a full eight Holy Light Bullets just now, leaving him with only 40 energy points. That made Meng Zu feel very insecure. They were not out of danger yet, so it would be better to refill his energy. If something like Jason appeared again and he ran out of energy in the middle of a fight, he would be in serious trouble.

"Mr. Meng Zu, I saw those two come back to life. What if they have their eyes on us and catch up to us later?" Brian asked from the back seat.

"It's fine. They can't catch up with a car. Once we reach Sault Ste. Marie, I remember there's a church there. We'll tell them what happened and have them contact the Church. They'll send someone to deal with those two."

Screech!!!

Suddenly, Meng Zu slammed on the brakes, throwing Sam and the others forward. Fortunately, they had all fastened their seat belts. Otherwise, they would definitely have gotten huge bumps on their heads.

Damn it, was I a jinx?

Three dark figures appeared not far from the car. Two of them were Jason and Mary Shaw, while the last was an unfamiliar old woman. Although the old woman looked no different from a normal person, anyone walking with Jason and Mary Shaw had to be the same kind of thing.

Anna saw Jason and Mary Shaw, and terror immediately filled her face. "Mr. Meng Zu, what's going on? How did they catch up?"

Meng Zu did not answer. He unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, instructing the four at the same time, "Stay in the car. Don't get out."

The Beretta appeared in his hand. He raised it and fired three Holy Light Bullets at the trio, but the black mist suddenly blocked their path. The Holy Light Bullets pierced through the mist, only leaving small holes in the three of their heads.

The three merely swayed backward. The Holy Light Bullets reverted to their original form, were squeezed out by the black mist, and fell to the ground. The wounds on their foreheads rapidly healed.

Meng Zu's expression darkened. The Holy Light Bullets were no longer very effective. While they were recovering, he took out a grenade and threw it over.

Boom!

The grenade exploded and blasted all three of them away, but it did not leave any new wounds on them. The black mist had blocked every fragment from the grenade.

"If only there were something like Holy Light Grenades!"

The three climbed back up. Jason broke into a run toward Meng Zu. Meng Zu took out another grenade and pulled the pin, silently counting the time. Suddenly, he fired a Holy Light Bullet at Jason's head while throwing the grenade at Jason's head as well. Jason's head immediately exploded.

The first Holy Light Bullet pierced through the black mist, and the grenade followed the bullet's trajectory, avoiding the surrounding black mist and reaching the wound opened by the Holy Light Bullet. The grenade then exploded, shattering Jason's head.

Just as Meng Zu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the old woman began chanting an obscure spell. A large amount of black mist surged from her hands and enveloped Jason completely.

Bang bang bang!!!

So the black mist was controlled by this old woman. Without hesitation, Meng Zu used the same tactic. He fired a Holy Light Bullet at her and threw a grenade at the same time. Once he dealt with her first, things would be much easier.

Boom!

But a black magic circle appeared before the old woman, blocking both the Holy Light Bullet and the grenade.

"Mrs. Voorhees, I told you so. This man is excellent material," Mary Shaw said to the old woman with a smile.

"He truly is. His soul will surely make the finest Soulstone." Mrs. Voorhees stared greedily at Meng Zu.

"Just as we agreed before, the bodies of these people are mine, and their souls are yours. I can barely wait to see the Perfect Puppet he'll become." Mary Shaw looked at Meng Zu with a savage expression.

The black mist surrounding Jason dispersed, and his head returned to normal. Jason rose from the ground again. Meng Zu already understood that with Mrs. Voorhees here, he would not be able to deal with them even if he used up all his energy.

"Looks like I'll have to use Teleportation."

After hearing Mary Shaw and Mrs. Voorhees's conversation, Meng Zu could only abandon this mission. Otherwise, if they captured him, his fate would definitely be miserable.

"Sam, Anna, Brian, Amy, I'm sorry," Meng Zu murmured inwardly. He took out his last Blue Potion and drank it, restoring his energy to 55 points. He now had enough to activate Teleportation.

Suddenly, a huge sparkling ring of fire appeared between Meng Zu and Jason. An old man with a long white beard and a buzz-cut fat man stepped out of the ring.
