American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 142: Territory of Fear
As the field of desire unfolded, Roy felt as if the air around him turned pink.

I don't know if this strange creature, Slender Man, has the concept of desire. Anyway, when this guy was about to teleport, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

It was as if my brain had crashed at that moment.

Maybe Slender Man really doesn't have any normal human concept of desire, so he becomes confused when affected by the realm of desire and doesn't know what to do.

Roy would not miss this opportunity. He spread his wings of light and raised his chainsaw sword high.

"Die!"

The brilliant holy light shone on the slender ghost's face without facial features. The chainsaw sword extended into a huge and gorgeous lightsaber that was more than ten meters long. Then, a set of simple and unpretentious New Year's greeting sword techniques was lightly chopped down.

In an instant, a deep gully appeared on the ground more than ten meters wide with the slender ghost as the center.

Without any suspense, the slender ghost figure was split into two halves by the light blade condensed by holy light.

[Ding! Received Slender Man's treasure chest of destiny! Open it?]

Phew! Finally done!

Hearing the system's prompt, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, that burst of power was indeed very cool, but the amount of justice consumed was also very terrifying.

Roy's Angel Blood state could originally last for about half an hour, but it was completely consumed by the ultimate move just now after only five minutes of fighting.

If the Slender Man hadn't died, Roy wouldn't have been able to maintain the Angel Blood state.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the slender ghost corpse that was split in half suddenly began to crystallize rapidly, turning into two tall irregular black crystals.

What's going on? Why doesn't it look like an Earth creature?

Roy possesses the Key of Solomon, so he is very familiar with the biological forms of the demons in hell.

Even demons, although their appearance and abilities are very different from those of humans, are actually carbon-based creatures.

But Slender Man's current situation doesn't seem like a carbon-based creature. Could it be that this guy is from outer space like Pennywise?
Roy walked forward curiously and touched the black crystal formed by the slender ghost with his chainsaw sword.

With a snap, the entire black crystal shattered, scaring Roy.

God bless you, Roy had already turned off the power of the chainsaw sword, and he only touched it lightly, so it's not his fault that the black crystal shattered.

If I tell Gerald that this pile of stuff that looks like broken glass is black crystal, will he still give me money?

Just as he was thinking about it, a large amount of black energy suddenly appeared from the black crystal that had just shattered without any warning and rushed directly towards Roy.

Roy had no time to react before the black energy entered his body.

Fortunately, after feeling this energy, Roy discovered that it was actually the emotion of fear.

It turns out that Slender Man also gained power by harvesting fear, which made Roy wonder if this guy was an alien life form from the universe like Pennywise.

The huge influx of fear made Roy feel bloated. He had to enter the form of the Devil's Son to consume some of the fear, but this was only a drop in the bucket.

Slender Man's ability is much stronger than Pennywise's, and the amount of fear he collects is naturally greater.

For the first time, Roy felt that his two fear energy bars actually had an upper limit. In order to prevent himself from being overwhelmed by fear, he had to start compressing the fear energy in his body.

[Special ability: Shadow of Fear upgraded to Field of Fear! ]

After an unknown amount of time, Roy was awakened by the sound of the system. He opened his eyes and found that a raging fire had broken out around him.

Where does the fire come from?

Roy suddenly remembered that he had used the Hell Shotgun before, and it seemed that he had indeed hit a tree, but he didn't pay attention to it because he was fighting at the time.

As a result, the small flame seemed to be about to turn into a wildfire.

Wow! Los Angeles won't last another 25 years or it'll burn down!

Without time to check out his newly upgraded special abilities, Roy quickly pulled out his cell phone to make a call.

At first he wanted to call the fire police, but then he thought that if he called the fire police directly, Roy would definitely be blamed.

It’s better to let Gerald, the unlucky guy, take the blame.

Gerald: Thank you!

We are very lucky that because it is close to the wealthy area of ​​Hollywood Hills, there are still mobile phone models in the mountains.

"Hey, Mr. Olin, I've successfully taken care of Slender Man. But there's a fire here. If you don't come quickly, Slender Man's body might be burned to ashes!"

Gerald answered Roy without any suspicion.

"Tell me the location and I'll send someone there immediately!"

After reporting his location, Roy hung up the phone. He still had a task to complete.

"Cessi, Ceci, where are you?"

While the fire was still under control, Roy searched for Dalia's daughter in the forest, but because his internal organs were severely damaged, he was not moving very fast.

Because of the wildfire, smoke appeared in the air, seriously affecting the vision. Roy could only shout Ceci's name loudly.

Not long after, Roy vaguely heard the little girl crying.

"Wuwuwu... Mommy... Mommy... Wuwuwu... Where are you..."

It's Ceci's voice!

Roy immediately followed the sound and saw a small clearing in the woods, surrounded by fire. Ceci was squatting in the clearing, crying.

"Cessi, don't be afraid, uncle is here!"

"Uncle Roy!"

Roy walked straight through the fire, then picked up Ceci and rushed out of the sea of ​​fire.

Normally, Roy could do these movements easily, but now Roy had lost at least one-third of his internal organs, and he had to gasp for breath every time he did any movement.

In order to avoid the tragedy of a son of the devil being burned to death, Roy decided to transform directly.

"Ceci, close your eyes and open them when I call you!"

Ceci closed her eyes obediently, and then Roy entered the state of the Devil's Son.

After his physical fitness temporarily increased by 10 points, Roy felt much better. Moreover, the demon had a strong resistance to ordinary flames, allowing him to successfully cross the sea of ​​fire and reach the open space where the slender ghost's body was before.

This open space is quite large and should be able to hold out until Gerald arrives. Roy exits the Demon Child form.

"Okay, Ceci, you can open your eyes now."

Ceci opened her eyes and saw Roy, who was pale and frowning from time to time.

"Uncle Roy, are you sick?"

"Uncle does feel a little unwell, but it's okay."

"Mom said, if you're sick, don't be stubborn. You must take medicine and rest."

As expected, children speak without restraint, and Roy didn't care.

"It's okay, uncle is really not sick."

As two people, one big and one small, were chatting, the sound of propellers was heard from the sky, and more than a dozen helicopters were seen flying in the distance.

There are fire helicopters and FEAR attack helicopters inside.

Gerald is quite capable and efficient. If Roy had called the fire department directly, it would have been great if he could see the fire truck at dawn.

Firefighting helicopters began to spray fire-fighting foam, and the fire began to shrink. The current wildfire was not too serious. The firefighting helicopters arrived quite timely and the wildfire was quickly brought under control, avoiding the tragedy that happened 25 years later.

Gerald rappelled Roddy from a FEAR helicopter and began to observe the surroundings after seeing Roy and Cece.

"Mr. Black, where is Slender Man's body?"

"Right at your feet."

Roy pointed to a pile of black crystal fragments at Gerald's feet. As the fear energy contained in them was absorbed by Roy, the pile of black crystals lost their luster.

Gerald made a black question mark face, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding me, Mr. Black?"

"No, that is indeed the body of the Slender Man. I suspect this guy is not a creature from Earth, but came from outer space."

These words made Gerald look thoughtful. He waved his hand and asked an agent to come over and check the pile of black crystals.

"Director, abnormal energy radiation has indeed been detected on these black crystals!"

Gerald nodded.

"Well done, Mr. Black! Do you want me to take you back to the hotel?"

Roy looked at the helicopter hovering overhead and quickly shook his head.

This is so unlucky!
Riding in a helicopter with a little girl, isn't this just a way to make yourself the jailer?
The accelerated version of "See you again" BGM seems to be ringing in my ears.

"No, I drove here. I'll drive back after the fire is out!"

Gerald did not continue to persuade Roy. After all, he also had things to do. He directed his agents to collect the black crystals on the ground bit by bit.

"Mr. Black, the 10 million will be transferred to you once your studio is ready."

Roy nodded.

"Mr. Olin, it's a pleasure to work with you!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Thanks to the efforts of the fire-fighting helicopter, the wildfire was completely extinguished half an hour later. Roy carried Ceci, who had fallen asleep, into the Chevrolet Camaro.

After all, he is a child, and he played so crazy tonight that he slept very soundly in Roy's arms.

When we returned to the Dolphin Hotel, it was already dawn, and before we knew it, another night had passed.

None of Heather, Penny, Mary and Dalia could sleep, and they were all waiting for Roy to come back in the hotel lobby.

When Dalia saw Roy coming back with Cecilia in his arms, she cried with joy and Mary was also relieved.

"Cessi!"

Dalia rushed towards Roy.

"Shh! Dalia, Ceci is asleep, take her back to her room to sleep."

Dalia nodded hurriedly, and then she noticed that Roy's face was extremely pale and his lips were completely bloodless.

"Roy, are you hurt?"

"what?"

Heather and Penny rushed over immediately, and Mary hesitated for a moment before walking over guiltily.

"Roy, where are you hurt? Let me see!"

The two girls examined Roy's body, almost taking off his clothes and pants, but they didn't see any wounds.

"I just have some internal injuries. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Upon hearing this, Dalia looked worried.

"Roy, will this affect your elimination match this weekend?"

"Those rotten fish and shrimps, even if I lose one hand, I can still easily deal with them!"

Hearing this, Mary felt even more guilty. If Roy couldn't get into UCLA because of her, she really didn't know how to face Roy.

"Roy, I'm sorry, because I..."

"Merry, I'm really fine. It's no problem for me to fight with you right now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the four girls blushed immediately.

Heather couldn't help but pat Roy's chest gently.

"Roy, what are you talking about!"

This blow hit Roy's heart, making him feel like a cardiac arrest, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"hiss!"

Heather almost burst into tears on the spot!

"Roy, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, Heather, but I think I need to rest for a bit."

Roy also realized that his body could not continue to move, otherwise he would be at risk of dying young.

There are so many beauties who need Roy's care, he can't bear to die like this.

Afterwards, Dalia sent Ceci back to her room, while Heather, Penny and Mary carefully helped Roy back to room 1208.

It was just like taking care of a seriously ill old man. If there was a wheelchair on the scene, the three girls would definitely let Roy sit in it.

"Merry, you still have classes today, right? Why not just stay in the living room and catch up on some sleep? Otherwise, you won't have the energy for class."

Mary is a good student and she is not here to slack off in college, so naturally she doesn't want to sleep in class.

"Okay! Roy, I'll come back to see you right after school!"

Roy smiled. He felt that Mary's feelings towards him had loosened a little. Although it was due to guilt, as long as they loosened, there would definitely be a way to solve the problem later.

Heather and Penny helped Roy take off his clothes like two maids, and wanted to serve Roy with breast pillows like last time.

Who can refuse a beautiful woman who gives him a breast pillow and coaxes him to sleep?

Roy lay comfortably in Heather's arms and prepared to fall asleep, but before going to sleep he decided to take a look at the newly upgraded fear area.

[Fear Domain: You have now become the most primitive fear of all creatures. You can easily plunge your enemies into an endless nightmare.

Passive ability, greatly increases the intimidation ability, greatly expands the collection range and collection effect of fear emotions.

Active ability: You can now deploy a fear field, affecting all creatures within a range.

Well, this upgraded fear field is roughly the same as the desire field, and it also affects the emotions of creatures on a large scale.

However, the fear effect is more practical in combat and will not be eye-irritating. The intimidation ability is very useful when interrogating intelligence.

This new ability is generally quite practical, allowing Roy's combat power to reach a higher level again.

After seeing the new ability, Roy officially prepared to go to sleep.

Accompanied by Heather's sweet singing, Roy gradually fell into his dream.

Perhaps because of the serious injury, Roy was not very restful in his sleep, and all kinds of messy dreams began to flash by like a display of lights.

Suddenly, the familiar feeling of falling appeared again!
