Chapter 101: Every 23rd Spring, For 23 Days...

Since the Quileute tribe had joined DMC and the supernatural cases consisted only of level 1 and level 2, Jojo didn't care much about it.

It was allocated to the Quileute tribe and Cullens, who took it from time to time to pass the time.

But the Quileute tribe was taking the task's completion seriously, as if they were fighting for a great cause.

Since Jojo did not have much work to do, only hunting sinners now and then when he felt the situation was out of control, Jojo had a lot of free time.

He enjoyed time with Alice and Rosalie to their heart's content and had regular workouts with either one of them at night for the past two years.

Now, Creative Child Productions had already succeeded in producing back-to-back blockbusters, putting them in the spotlight.

Los Angeles...

Creative Child headquarters...

"Jojo, are you sure...?"

Jenny, who was looking at the script in his hands, asked Jojo a little skeptical.

It is the script for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which Jojo has written in his free time.

"Yeah... I am sure to buy the rights to the movie from the author of the book. And I promised her that if she agrees to sell the rights to them, she has a voice in the screenplay and story management."

Nodding his head seriously, Jojo turned to Jenny and affirmed that he was serious.

Sigh~

"I will take care of it."

Looking at Jojo, who was very confident in his decision, Jenny sighed and accepted the job.

At present, only one book had been published by the author J.K. Rowling.

She knew that even sometimes Jojo's decisions seemed rushed; buying the rights believing there would be sequels to the books, she believed in his vision.

If Jojo took an interest in it, there must be something very good in it.

She was not a big fan of books, but since Jojo decided to make this novel into a movie, she needed to read it fully.

So she could be very prepared for it.

Now Jojo was about to travel back to Forks since he had achieved his purpose for coming here.

As a founder, he needed to show his face from time to time in the headquarters, which would make things easier for Jenny to manage things.

She wouldn't be forced with the burden of all the work due to his absence.

So he would show his face from time to time to do some work that needed his attention.

A year before, when the new headquarters had been built deep inside the Forks forest, Jojo put Jenny in charge of this Creative Child Productions.

While Freya took charge of the DMC headquarters with a promise of taking her with him when he was going to hunt a demon.

She also practiced her witchcraft with the help of Inadu to increase her strength by visiting Inadu regularly to get valuable insight.

After sending off Jenny, who seemed to be on a work-related call with someone...

"Sir, I have traced a call which seems to be aligned with one of the cases you asked me to keep an eye on."

Suddenly, his mobile lit up, and Sara's voice came from it, informing him about her new finding.

Oh~

"What is it?"

Hearing Sara had found a lead on one of the cases which he asked her to keep an eye on, Jojo raised an eyebrow and became curious about which case Sara was speaking about.

"Sir, it's about the file named Creepers you retrieved from the team of cops who were investigating the disappearance of converted ones during the Pet Sematary case."

Getting permission to proceed with the explanation about the lead she had found in it, Sara started to explain to him.

"It was a phone call, sir. I will play the recording."

With that, Sara connected the phone call she recorded.

Call recording...

Cree~

Mysterious Women: Is this the boy with the pink and yellow car?

Darry: (hesitantly) ...Yeah.

Mysterious Women: You found its house of pain, didn't you?

Darry: (alarmed) Who is this?

Mysterious Women: You have to listen to me. What you found was an ancient place of evil, where it keeps the bodies of its victims. It's been feeding on people for centuries.

Darry: (in disbelief) What? Who the hell are you?

Mysterious Women: I'm trying to help you! You don't have much time. It comes every 23rd spring, for 23 days... and it eats.

Darry's Sister: (interjects) Eats? Eats what?

Mysterious Women: Whatever it wants. And if it's chosen you, it won't stop until it has what it came for. You can't stop it... you can only run.

Darry: (getting frustrated) Why are you telling us this? How do you know all this?

Mysterious Women: (sighs) I've seen it... in my dreams. Every night, the same terrible visions. And I heard the song...

Darry's Sister: (nervously) The song?

Mysterious Women: Yes, "Jeepers Creepers." If you hear that song, it means it's close. It's how it marks its next victims.

Darry: (looking at Trish, trying to understand) This can't be real. This has to be some kind of prank or...

Mysterious Women: You're in its path, and you don't have much time. You need to get as far away as you can, now!

Darry's Sister: (pleading) But who are you? How can we trust you?

Mysterious Women: (desperately) I'm trying to save you! I don't want to see what's going to happen to you two. (pauses) Please, listen to me. Run... and don't look back.

Cree~

End of call...

Hearing the full conversation, Jojo's eyes widened in surprise. He knew just by hearing the song and the mysterious woman's mention of the house of pain.

And the name of the file, Creepers, now seemed to connect the dots in his mind.

'This is the plot of Jeepers Creepers from his previous life, where a monster or devil or witch who seems to be a cannibal hunts innocents like a hunter and eats them slowly over the years. Right. It even has the power to regenerate after eating a part of a human it wanted to regenerate.'

With everything clicking in his mind, Jojo immediately remembered the plot of Jeepers Creepers.

Sigh~

"Sara... contact Freya and inform her about this. Ask her what this case is about..."

With a defeated sigh, Jojo ordered his trusted AI assistant, Sara, to inform Freya, who is currently in charge of DMC.

Forks...

DMC headquarters...

Ding...

Suddenly, the monitor before Freya lit up while she sat on the comfortable chair reading a handmade notebook.

A woman was standing before her, seeming to have come back from completing a mission.

"Miss Freya... Master asked me to inform you about an emergency case. And asked you to be prepared since he is on his way back here as soon as possible."

With a sound of notification, Sara informed Freya, who raised her eyebrow in surprise hearing about it.

It's been two years since Jojo has issued an emergency order on a supernatural case.

"Show me the details about the case."

After a brief pause in surprise at seeing an emergency case has been issued after a long time, she asked to show the details about it.

Sara showed the details of the case with the updated version Jojo had given her to Freya, who was reading it with narrowed eyes.

"A cannibal who can regenerate using human parts he eats. And his identity is a mystery, but the sources suggest that he might be a serial killer, demon, some monster, or a dark witch."

Reading the description piqued Freya's interest, and Sara also played the conversation between Darry, his sister, and the mysterious woman.

"Did you trace who the woman is?"

Nodding her head, Freya stood from her chair and walked towards the bookshelves where many files and books were kept.

After tracing her finger for a moment, searching the titles, she picked a file named Creepers, which she remembered her brother took from the investigation team during the Pet Sematary.

She opened it and started reading while marking the points that seemed to be connected with the case description.

She highlighted the point in the case file that states it comes every 23rd spring, for 23 days... and it eats.

"____"

She frowned, seeing that the cycle of every 23rd spring, for 23 days means it will hunt every 23 years once for 23 days.

And the cycle continued for a long time. Reading the description in the file and the victim's name and year.

But not even once could they stop this Creeper from hunting his prey.

What intrigued her even more was that he seemed to be immortal for some reason or a creature with a long life.

"Tomorrow is the day Inadu will finally get her body back. She might be interested in this creature."

With a little deep thought, Freya closed the file and asked Sara to put this Creeper case on level 4 and summon the important members of the DMC for a meeting to discuss it.

Before Jojo arrives, she needs to make sure that others understand this case clearly and are willing to participate in it.
