American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 120 The Jester
So Roy followed suit, lifted up his clothes and wrote the English letters "Succubus" on his abdominal muscles with a marker. This is the English spelling of succubus.

After taking the pictures, I uploaded them to my laptop and sent them to the succubus.

Succubus: Oh my god, you have such a great figure!

Diablo: You too.

Succubus: I really want to meet you!
Diablo: I think there will be a chance.

Roy just chatted with netizens when he was bored, and he didn't really want to meet the female netizens offline.

However, this female netizen named Succubus seemed to take it seriously.

Succubus: I am looking forward to that day!

It’s a pity that the video chat technology is not mature yet in this era, otherwise Roy would like to video chat with this female netizen.

Roy didn't continue chatting with the succubus because he saw that Needy's MSN was online.

This person is a severe internet addict. He especially likes to surf the Internet late at night, so much so that he often yawns and feels listless in the morning.

Needy shared with Roy some interesting things that happened recently at Oak High School, such as Wade started licking Carly Jones again, which caused a lot of jokes.

Also, the school's auditorium has begun to be rebuilt. If everything goes well, Roy and his classmates' graduation ceremony can be held in the new auditorium.

After chatting tenderly with Needy for a while, Roy turned off his laptop and picked up his phone to start texting.

It was time to test his time management skills again. Roy sent text messages to Saltana and Elena respectively, and then to Jennifer and Elizabeth, with the main goal of treating everyone equally.

After the time management was over, Roy remembered that he seemed to have two destiny treasure chests that had not been opened, so he decided to open them now.

Both the Weasel Willy and the Pig-Head Masked Killer have average strength. The Pig-Head Masked Killer's special evil spirit space ability is more interesting, but it seems that it is an ability that only evil spirits can use.

So Roy didn't really care what could be found in these two treasure chests of destiny. He didn't even do the necessary cat-touching ritual to open the treasure chests, and just opened them directly.

[Opening Willy's treasure chest of destiny...]

【Gain 1 Strength Attribute Points! 】

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

[Opening the Pigman's Destiny Chest...]

【Gain 1 Strength Attribute Points! 】

【Gain 1 Constitution attribute point! 】

Well, as expected, I got some physical attribute points, which is better than nothing.

Nowadays, the rewards given by the fate treasure chests of horror movie villains are getting smaller and smaller, but fortunately there is still a guarantee.

The Destiny Treasure Chest can give out at least two things, most of the time they are attribute points, which are also okay if you add them up.

After unpacking the box, Roy turned his attention back to the TV.

The host Jack is talking to Max, the guest dressed as a pastor from last time, about the latest popular urban legends in Los Angeles.

"Reverend Max, have you ever heard of the legend of the Slender Man?"

Max laughed.

"I know this, don't try to fool me! This is a fictional legend born on the Internet. In reality, there is no such monster as Slender Man!"

Jack slapped his leg.

"I didn't expect that Pastor Max also surfs the Internet frequently!"

Max shrugged.

"Although I have a big beard and look very old, I am actually a young man under 30 years old."

There was a burst of laughter from the show.

"Okay, I still can't hide it from you! But let me mention that, actually, I'm not old. I'm the same age as you."

There were boos at the show.

"Hey, you guys are really giving me no face!"

There was laughter again at the show.

"Well, young Reverend Max, what urban legends do you have for us?"

"Oh, yes, I do know some scary horror stories, like when you're on the last subway train, you must not sleep, or the subway will take you to a platform that doesn't exist."

Max's words caused a slight discussion on the show.

"I think I've heard this urban legend before, but I can't remember where. It's really interesting! I think the audience here have heard of it too, right?"

Not to mention the audience, even Roy knew about this urban legend. It seemed that there were similar urban legends all over the world, and America was no exception.

The more famous one is the Kisaragi Station in Xiaori. Many movies and games tell the story of Kisaragi Station.

"Well, since Pastor Max has already started this discussion, let me also tell you a true urban legend. If you wander the streets late at night on Halloween, you'll see a clown wearing a yellow suit and a top hat..."

The host Jack is undoubtedly a master storyteller. When he started telling urban legends, everyone's attention was hooked by his stories.

"...This clown will pull anyone he meets to perform magic tricks. Pay attention! When the clown finishes his magic trick and makes a thank you gesture, you must praise him!"

“What happens if I don’t praise you?”

Pastor Max acted as the supporting actor and asked questions that interested everyone.

"Haha, if you don't praise him, he'll continue performing magic until you do! But his magic will become more and more dangerous, maybe even a true 'devil's art'!"

Jack's urban legend successfully aroused the emotions of all the audience, and the scene seemed to be on silent for a while.

However, Jack's ability to control the situation is quite good, and he brought the atmosphere back to normal with just one sentence.

"But as long as you don't hang around late on Halloween night, you won't run into him. And it's also a good habit to encourage other people's performances."

Max clapped his hands.

"Yes, Jack is absolutely right."

Next, Max told an urban legend about the world in the mirror, but Roy was a little hungry at this time, so he didn't continue watching TV.

Taking a look at the bedroom, Roy saw Heather and Penny sleeping soundly in each other's arms, and they seemed to have no intention of waking up. So he decided to go out alone for a midnight snack.

The Dolphin Hotel does not offer a 24-hour restaurant, but fortunately it is near Santa Monica Beach, so KFC and McDonald's are indispensable.

This type of American fast food restaurant is usually open 24 hours a day.

Roy asked the hotel staff where the nearest American fast food restaurant was and left the Dolphin Hotel.

Santa Monica Beach in March was still a bit cold at midnight, so there were basically no people swimming at night. I only saw a few people setting up tents and barbecuing on the beach.

It would be different in the summer. Santa Monica Beach in July and August is as lively at night as during the day.

After having a midnight snack at McDonald's, Roy brought some food back so that Heather and Penny wouldn't get hungry in the middle of the night.

The way back seemed to become particularly quiet, and Roy suddenly saw a strange guy blocking the road ahead.

Wearing a black top hat, a white clown mask, a yellow suit, and a crooked cane, he leaned against a streetlight in a gesture of total indifference. Is this such a coincidence?
Roy had just heard Jack, the host of "Night Owl", tell such an urban legend, and now he encountered it?
And today isn't Halloween!
Just as Roy was wondering, a woman walked past him.

The woman seemed to have just finished her night shift. Her back revealed her fatigue even when she walked. She didn't care about the weird clown in front of her and continued forward.

The clown in yellow blocked the woman with a gesture, indicating that he wanted to perform a magic trick for her.

The woman felt helpless. This kind of street performance was actually quite common in America, and many artists made a living from it.

Although it is rare to see street performers performing in the middle of the night.

It's a pity that the woman had just finished her night shift and was very tired. She had no interest in watching street performances.

"Excuse me, sir! I'm in a hurry to get home and my daughter is waiting for me at home!"

However, the woman's words did not make the yellow clown give way. He took out a deck of cards and insisted on performing magic.

The woman was helpless and had to cooperate with the yellow clown's performance and took a card from the top of the deck.

This turned out to be a big trump card, and the pattern on the card was exactly the same as the current yellow clown.

If the Yellow Clown didn't deliberately let the woman draw this card, then it meant that she was really lucky, because the Yellow Clown had just shuffled the cards.

Of course, whether it is good luck to encounter the yellow clown is debatable.

The clown in yellow took the big ace back and put it back in the middle of the deck of cards. He handed the whole deck to the woman and signaled her to shuffle it.

At this point, the woman had roughly guessed what magic the yellow clown wanted to perform. This kind of card trick was quite common both on the streets and on TV.

Rolling her eyes, the woman still cut the cards a few times in a bad mood and returned them to the yellow clown.

The clown in yellow held the playing cards in his palm, snapped his fingers, blew on the cards, and then signaled the woman to open the top card.

The woman did so.

As expected, this card was the big trump card she had drawn before.

The performance ended here, and the yellow clown made a gesture of thanks on stage, but the woman was not impressed.

"That's it!"

As she spoke, the woman walked past the clown in yellow, but after a few steps, she found that the clown in yellow appeared in front of her again, blocking her way.

This situation scared the woman. She looked behind her in disbelief, repeatedly confirming how the clown in yellow suddenly appeared in front of her.

At this time, the woman noticed Roy who was leisurely eating French fries in the distance.

The woman began to suspect that this was some kind of prank, and her mood became even worse.

"Have you had enough? If you stop me again I'm going to call the police!"

After issuing a final warning, the clown in yellow still turned a deaf ear and suddenly pulled out a folding knife.

This action scared the woman. After all, this is free America, and being robbed on the road is something every American will experience.

The woman reached into her bag and took several steps back.

"You, what do you want to do?"

However, the clown in yellow gestured to the woman not to be nervous, then rolled up his sleeves and cut a cut on his arm with a folding knife.

This is too scary. The yellow clown is so cruel to himself, the woman doesn't dare to imagine what he will do to others.

But the yellow clown's wound was very strange. The blood flowed very slowly and the color was particularly dark.

The clown in yellow picked up the ace that the woman had just pulled out, wiped the blood off the wound and showed it to the other party, a blood-stained ace.

Then, the yellow clown put the ace back into the deck of cards and started cutting the cards. After cutting a few times, he suddenly threw the cards into the sky.

As the playing cards were scattered, the clown in yellow snapped his fingers at the woman's bag, and finally signaled the woman to take the contents out of the bag.

The woman's expression changed, and the pepper spray in her hand suddenly disappeared and turned into a piece of card.

When he took out the card, he saw that it was the big ace card stained with the blood of the yellow clown.

This isn't magic anymore, this is pure magic!
The woman was frightened and stepped back.

"This, this is not funny at all!"

The woman turned around and wanted to run towards Roy, but she fell to the ground after taking a step. She turned her head and found that her shoelaces had been tied together at some point.

This is really terrible!

The woman frightened and called for help to Roy in the distance.

"Sir, please save me!"

Only then did Roy see the woman's face clearly. Wasn't this Jennifer Connelly?
Roy was impressed by Jennifer Connelly's performance in "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and later watched several of her films.

However, the appearance of this female star has deteriorated seriously in her later years. Fortunately, although the Jennifer Connelly in front of us is not the one at the peak of her appearance in Once Upon a Time in America, she also looks like a young woman.

It should be Jennifer Connelly in the American version of "Ghost in the Shell", which is the only horror movie she has ever made.

Roy had no intention of just leaving it alone. He just wanted to observe what the clown in yellow was up to. After seeing Jennifer Connelly fall to the ground, he could no longer stand idly by.

"Hey, man! That's not a gentlemanly way to treat a beautiful lady!"

Roy's sudden words surprised the clown in yellow. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Roy.

The clown in yellow didn't speak a word from beginning to end, and performed entirely through actions.

I don’t know if it’s to fit the identity of a clown, or if this guy simply can’t speak.

"It just so happens that I'm a magician too. Shall we have a competition?"

Roy walked forward and helped the fallen woman up.

[Discover the special character Dalia O'Connor and you can absorb the power of destiny to get rewards! ]

"Ma'am, what is your name?"

"Dahlia O'Connor."

"Okay, Ms. O'Connor, could you please hold the bag for me? I need to compete with this gentleman in a magic show."

Dalia grabbed Roy in horror.

"Sir, there's something wrong with this guy!"

Of course Roy knew that there was something wrong with the yellow clown. Although he was far away, with his current eyesight, he could see the whole process of the yellow clown's magic clearly.

"Don't worry, Ms. O'Connor, I'm sure you'll be able to return home safely to see your daughter tonight."

Roy calmed Dalia down and then faced the clown in yellow.

"How about it, buddy? Want to show me?"

The clown in yellow made a thoughtful gesture, but still nodded, and took off his hat to Roy, signaling him to start the performance first.

"The next step is to witness the miracle!"
