Shizuku was not surprised by Ryoko's relentless pursuit. After all, she was just that kind of person, and she had snatched cases from her twice in a row, one of which was The Ring - if she remembered correctly, the investigation at that time should have been conducted by Ryoko's boyfriend, Izumi Da Jun'ichiro, and he submitted the report, which was then intercepted by the police history editing office and sent to her.
Then he got Sadako without her knowledge.
Hmm...So now Yakushiji Ryoko is obviously planning to solve the case before she does. Of course, Shizuku can guess her purpose, which is nothing more than to help her boyfriend get revenge. Thinking about it carefully, when Shizuku looked at the case file, she found that the police officer in charge of the investigation was very busy and went to many places to investigate. As a result, when he came back to submit the report, he was detained by the senior bureaucrats of the Metropolitan Police Department and handed over to others to handle.
Of course, this kind of thing is very common in government agencies. Aren’t lower-level subordinates used to do these chores? As for the results of their hard work, whether they are stuffed into the trash or sent somewhere else is the choice of the higher-level bureaucrats. It has nothing to do with their own will.
After all, subordinates are like this. They are supposed to do whatever they do, and will be reprimanded if they don't do anything. This is the tragedy of public officials in government agencies.
If we think more deeply, considering that Ryoko Yakushiji herself does not get along well with the higher-ups in the Metropolitan Police Department, perhaps the Metropolitan Police Department deliberately handed over this investigation report to the Police History Compilation Office to prevent Ryoko Yakushiji from taking this opportunity to expand her influence again.
In short, no matter what the reason, her boyfriend's hard work was intercepted by others, which must have made Yakushiji Ryoko very unhappy. As a person who takes revenge and avenges, she will definitely not let the matter go. Even if her boyfriend himself does not care about it, Yakushiji Ryoko will obviously not let it go.
From a certain perspective, Yakushiji Ryoko can be considered a tsundere, but her expression of tsundere is not like that of some girls with blonde twin tails who only use weak lines like "No, it's not like that, don't get me wrong!"
She prefers to express her attitude through actions.
Of course, Shizuku was not worried about Yakushiji Ryoko's safety. Although she was arrogant, she was not completely inexperienced in dealing with these monsters. However, unlike Shizuku, Yakushiji Ryoko mainly dealt with demons and monsters - such as Medusa in Greek mythology, or some hydra. Shizuku faced more ghosts, wronged spirits and evil spirits.
Although Jason this time is not a ghost, strictly speaking he can be considered a first-class monster. Even if Ryoko Yakushiji encounters him, there should be no problem.
But where is Jason?
Standing on the treetop, Shizuku scanned the surrounding forests and lakes. The reason why she was looking for Jason was simple. Considering that the first fragment appeared in the place of Sadako and Kayako, two famous Japanese ghost movie characters, then in the United States, Jason or Freddy might be more likely - after all, when it comes to American ghost movie series, Shizuku only thinks of these two at the first time.
As for the second fragment, the revival of the Three-Eyed Tribe is indeed a threat, but in American ghost movies, there are rarely characters like the Ghost Eye King who attempt to rule or destroy the world.
If I must say... could it be a mummy?!
That's technically a horror movie.
If we follow this search, then not only "The Mummy" is among them, but if we count carefully, "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raider" are also among them...
All in all, let's look for it first.
There was no sign of ghosts or evil spirits around, but Shizuku was not worried. She silently opened her cell phone and checked the time.
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th.
The campsite that was the murder scene was now completely sealed off. Shizuku, standing on a tree, watched Yakushiji Ryoko and her subordinate and boyfriend go around in circles, but still found nothing. Shizuku smiled bitterly. She had learned from the police station that the Crystal Lake community was very large. Now that Jason was not at the lake, he might have swum to somewhere nearby. In short, as long as they waited until tomorrow, he would go out. Before that... she might as well go around.
As for these two...
Looking at Yakushiji Ryoko who was on the dock not far below, gesticulating and asking Izumi Da Junichiro to take her rowing, Shizuku couldn't help but touch her chin.
Remember in The Cabin in the Woods, there should be a hormone-boosting gas used for this kind of occasion? Should I do a good deed and really let Yakushiji Ryoko take maternity leave? Maybe after she gives birth, her temper will become better?
Well...it's hard to say.
Soon, night fell.
After not finding Shizuku at the camping site, Yakushiji Ryoko also left with Izumida Junichiro. By the way, the two of them spent the entire day sightseeing here under the guise of a search, rowing boats, fishing, and even having a barbecue on the shore - only someone with a big heart like Yakushiji Ryoko could be willing to camp at the scene of the tragedy.
During this time, Shizuku had been hiding in the tree, watching them showing off their love over there, while silently cursing in her heart that the two guys would get pregnant when they returned, and then go on maternity leave with a big belly.
The night wind blew through the forest, and birds and insects could be heard everywhere. Shizuku leaned against a branch, yawning and looking at the time in front of her. The night view tonight was very beautiful. The silvery moonlight illuminated the forest in front of her, and the lake below reflected the dazzling light. Just like its name - Crystal Lake, it was refreshing. If you don't consider the undead killer hiding in the darkness, then this can be said to be a wonderful place for leisure and vacation.
Then, the time jumped to 0 o'clock.
At the same time, a strange cold wind blew through the forest, bringing with it a strange and faint sound.
“Go go go…hahaha…go go go…hahaha…”
"Um?"
Hearing this voice, Shizuku suddenly perked up and stood up from the branch.
Here we come!
Shizuku knew very well that this sound was the essential sound effect when Jason appeared in the movie. Although she didn't know whether it was his breathing or some weird BGM, as long as this sound appeared, it most likely meant that someone was going to die.
Where is it? Where is it?
However, no matter how hard Shizuku looked, she could not sense any ghostly aura. The entire forest seemed to be no different from before. However, if she listened carefully, she could find that the sounds of birds and insects that had originally sounded in the forest had quietly disappeared at some point, leaving only a dead silence.
Isn't Jason a ghost?
Shizuku was also confused at this moment. No matter how she looked at it, from the records in the movie, Jason should be the evil ghost who died in Crystal Lake. That's why he wanted to eliminate those who trespassed into Crystal Lake without permission, but this didn't make sense. If that was the case, then Jason would just be a simple vengeful spirit, but...
Wait, could it be that...!?
Thinking of this, Shizuku suddenly realized.
Indeed, if it is an ordinary vengeful spirit, it will leave grudges when it acts no matter what. However, Shizuku is based on the premise that "the third fragment is in Jason's body". If this premise is used as a standard, then it is not necessarily the case!
After all, those were fragments created by the Order Clan. If Jason awakened because of the power of the fragments, it meant that he might have the power of order. Even just a little bit of the power of order was enough to cause a huge impact. Fang Zheng had seen this many times in the main world and other coordinate worlds. Even the waste and even garbage left behind by the Order Clan had the power to destroy a world.
And even a fragment could allow Jason to transform into a different being.
What if Jason is therefore seen as a form of order?
In this way, his actions would not be like those of an evil ghost or a vengeful spirit, but more like those of Yami Kita or Final Destination - his killings would be seen as part of the normal order of the world, and the people he killed were no more than those who died in natural disasters in the eyes of the world.
Because it is normal to be killed by rocks in mountain torrents, and drowning in the water is also a natural death. Similarly, death due to sudden illness is also included. Although humans will regard Jason's killing as a crime, in the eyes of nature, this is probably the same as brown bears or wolves attacking intruders who stray into their territory. There is no crime at all. It is just part of the cycle of nature and part of the law of order.
If this was the case, then Shizuku would naturally not be able to sense his murderous and ghostly aura, because this meant that Jason was like a natural disaster that appeared every Friday the 13th in summer, similar to a tropical hurricane. In this case, it would be difficult for Shizuku to lock onto his location.
The situation has become a little tricky.
Thinking of this, Shizuku's expression became serious.
If this was the case, then her original plan of waiting would not work, because Jason was a part of this world, so he would not be sensed. In this case, she would have to take the initiative to find Jason's whereabouts.
Fortunately, Shizuku had already memorized all the nearby campsites, so now she could only look for them one by one!
After making the decision, Shizuku stood up and jumped up. The next moment, she flew into the sky and disappeared into the dark night.
