American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 187 Warehouse No. 36

"Boss, follow me!"

Wade took Roy and Emma to a three-story factory near the dock. It was a warehouse rental company, and the factory was full of rows of private warehouses.

These private warehouses are actually about the same size as personal garages, or maybe even smaller.

The warehouse manager at the door shouted after seeing Wade.

"Hey, Wade, you should clean up the warehouse you bought, or I'll be in trouble!"

"Don't worry, I'll get it done today!"

Generally speaking, the warehouse must be cleared out on the same day it is purchased. After all, one of the reasons why a warehouse rental company auctions a warehouse is to clear it out and rent it out again.

However, Wade seemed to be very familiar with the warehouse manager, and he got away with it with a laugh.

After entering the warehouse, Wade explained the situation to Roy.

"Last weekend, I came here to gamble on warehouses after being introduced by a friend, and I spent $400 to buy this warehouse No. 36."

As he spoke, Wade took Roy to a warehouse and opened the rolling door.

Roy was very surprised to see that the warehouse was full of miscellaneous items such as furniture.

"That's worth $400?"

Even if all these furniture were sold as scrap, they wouldn't be worth the price, right?

"I bribed the warehouse manager to get this inside information! The original owner had rented the warehouse for 40 years. Every day, he would bring a large bag of goods into the warehouse, only to return empty-handed an hour later. I confirmed this on the surveillance video."

Well, Mr. Lu Ziye is indeed worthy of his name. He even knew how to bribe the warehouse manager to get inside information.

"Then why did you ask me to come?"

Roy looked around the warehouse and felt that there didn't seem to be anything special about it.

"Boss, just look at this and you'll know!"

Wade pulled out a thick round table with a pentagram painted on it from the corner, and after pressing one of the corners, a secret compartment popped out, containing three black books.

As mentioned before, the pentagram has a special meaning in Western mysticism, so it rarely appears on furniture or clothing decorations.

"This is a spirit table. There are three books on the occult hidden in the secret compartment of the table. I didn't dare to touch them, so I left them in this warehouse."

After all, he had experienced two dangerous incidents. Although the memory of one of them was modified by Elizabeth, Wade was still very cautious. This behavior might be able to save his life.

Roy casually picked up three black books and flipped through them, and found that they were atlases of alien creatures, containing all kinds of strange creatures from other worlds.

Some of the content made Roy frown.

The book also contained some information about the demons of hell, and Roy was surprised to find that this information basically matched the knowledge of the Key of Solomon.

In other words, these three books were not written randomly, but were probably illustrations of alien creatures recorded by an ancient wizard.

"Wade, I have good news and bad news. Do you want to hear it?"

"Boss, of course I want to listen. Tell me the good news first!"

"The good news is that these three books are antiques and may be worth a lot of money in the eyes of some occult enthusiasts."

Hearing this, Wade's eyes lit up, but he immediately remembered that Roy still had some bad news to tell him.

"Where's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the occult knowledge recorded in these three books is true. This means that the original owner of this warehouse was probably a wizard, and he might have left something in this warehouse."

Wade opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Is there really witchcraft in this world?"

Roy glanced at Emma, ​​who had been silent the whole time. The other person also looked curious.

"There is indeed witchcraft. I know some of it."

As he spoke, Roy took out the cursed daggers and suddenly threw them out.

The dagger was nailed to the concrete wall, but suddenly returned to Roy's hand the next second.

This scene made Wade and Emma's jaws drop.

Wade rubbed his eyes and slapped himself again before he was sure that the scene just now was not an illusion or a dream.

"How could this be?"

Emma, ​​who was more rational, also moved closer to Roy.

"Brother Roy, can you let me try?"

"These two daggers can only return to my hands. The most you can do is throw them away."

Emma still wanted to give it a try, so she took the cursed daggers from Roy and held them in her hands.

The cold feel of the dagger made Emma sure that this was not an illusion, but the next second the dagger appeared in Roy's hand again.

This time, Emma completely believed it. There was a strange light flashing in her eyes, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"Wow, boss, this is really hot! There really is witchcraft in this world, I have always believed in it!"

Wade, this funny guy, didn't show any fear at all, but seemed very excited instead.

Well, there are still a lot of superstitious people in America, especially in conservative states like Texas, which has a strong religious atmosphere.

Many people believe that there are God, demons, vampires and werewolves in this world, and naturally they also believe in the existence of witchcraft.

At this time, Roy was still flipping through the three black books. He noticed that the three black books had not been finished, and the words between the lines seemed to indicate that there was a fourth book.

"Wade, have you seen the fourth black book in the warehouse?"

"Ah, no. I was just rummaging around in this warehouse the other day and found this round table and the three black books in its secret compartment. I never dared to touch the warehouse again. Could there be a fourth black book?"

Roy nodded.

"There should be some! Wade, I want to buy these four books, can you help me find them?"

"no problem!"

When Wade heard that Roy was going to buy the black book, he immediately started looking for it in the warehouse happily.

Curious Emma also started to help, and the three of them worked together to clean up the messy warehouse, but they did not find the fourth black book.

"Strange? Could it be that the fourth book isn't in the possession of the original owner of the warehouse?"

Roy frowned as he looked at the three black books. This possibility was not impossible.

At this time, Emma came up with a possibility.

"Could there be other secret compartments in the warehouse? After all, these three black books are also hidden in the secret compartment of the round table."

Emma's speculation reminded Roy, and he began to knock on various objects that might be hiding things and listen for sounds, trying to find the hidden compartment.

Suddenly, Wade tripped over something under his feet and hit the wall behind him.

"Ouch!"

"Are you okay, Wade?"

"I'm fine, but the sound from this wall doesn't seem right!"

Is there something wrong with the sound of the walls?

Roy immediately walked to the wall and knocked on it with his hand. The crisp sound indicated that there was indeed space behind the wall.

Then, Roy began to look for cracks in the wall, and he actually found a rectangular, not very obvious mark.

It was definitely a secret door! I pushed the wall but it didn't budge. This secret door must have been opened with some kind of remote control.

Roy looked back at Wade.

"Wade, how is your relationship with that warehouse manager?"

Wade was a little surprised why Roy asked such a question.

"I don't know him well. I met him through a friend, and we only worked together last weekend."

Roy knew that Wade had a lot of bad friends, most of whom were people he met through eating, drinking and having fun, so there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

"That's good."

After saying that, Roy punched the secret door and actually knocked down the wall of the secret door.

Wade looked at Roy in amazement. He finally understood why Roy asked that question.

Emma was also very shocked, and even her perfect expression control ability was stunned.

Emma, ​​who is much more mature than her peers, has actually never believed in any supernatural stories. Such things are too childish for her.

But today, what happened to Roy refreshed Emma's three views over and over again, and her worldview began to change subtly.

"It's done!"

Roy walked in by stepping on the wall. There was indeed an electronic door mechanism behind the secret door, which could only be opened by a switch.

However, Roy was very surprised to find that there was a deep and winding corridor behind the secret door.

It is not known whether this curved corridor existed originally and was discovered by the original owner of the warehouse.

Or was it dug out by the original owner of the warehouse after he rented it?

"Boss, the space inside seems to be quite large!"

"Yes, I'm going to go in and take a look. Do you want to follow me?"

"Of course! I'm curious why the original owner of the warehouse created such a secret room!"

Emma also nodded, with curiosity written all over her little face.

"Then you guys follow me. No matter what happens, don't shout or scream. Listen to my instructions!"

Roy's eyes fell on Emma. After all, he had worked with Wade before. Wade was quite smart. He was mainly worried about Emma.

The little girl nodded hurriedly, looking well-behaved.

So Roy took out a flashlight from the inventory and led the way into the secret passage.

The secret passage is very narrow and can only accommodate one adult.

A man with broad shoulders like Roy, who was using a double door, even had to lean sideways to avoid getting stuck in the wall.

At the same time, Roy also noticed that there were many Bible pages on the walls of the secret passage, which meant that the things hidden in the secret passage might be the enemies of God.

What could it be? It's so hard to guess!
After walking for about a minute, Roy finally walked out of the narrow and winding secret passage and came to a small room.

There was a reading rack at the back of the room, and on it happened to be an open book. Although Roy could not see the words on the pages clearly, there was a pattern on it that looked very familiar to him.

(The symbol in the book is probably a circle with the symbol in the picture inside)
This is the symbol of Leviathan, the Lord of Jealousy!

Leviathan is described as a giant sea monster in many stories. In some science fiction movies or games, some giant monsters are also named Leviathan.

In the story of the Bible, Leviathan is the first giant snake born in the world, entwined in hell.

This guy is a demon king of hell who is older than Beryl. The other six demon kings in the Seven Deadly Sins can only be considered his descendants.

"Boss, there seems to be something on the ground!"

Roy's attention was focused on the open book and he didn't notice anything on the floor of the room.

It wasn't until Wade reminded him that Roy shone the flashlight on the ground.

I saw a circle drawn in the middle of the floor of the room with some mysterious red powder. In the middle of the circle was still the symbol of Leviathan, and a person was lying on the symbol of Leviathan.

It is unknown how long this person has been dead, and it can only be vaguely identified as a woman.

The reason for saying this is that the face of the corpse has completely disappeared, replaced by a black hole, as if something is wriggling inside.

This scene scared Wade and Emma.

Especially Emma. Although this little girl is precocious and very intelligent, she is still a child after all.

Seeing this horrific scene that could not even be imagined in nightmares, the whole person froze.

"Shh! Don't move, I'm going to get the book!"

The thing wriggling inside the corpse was probably a demon under Leviathan summoned by the original owner of the warehouse.

Leviathan is a giant snake, so all the demons under this guy are of such strange shapes.

Now the demon has not come out to cause trouble, probably because the original owner of the warehouse drew a magic circle with red powder to control the demon.

Roy planned to get the book first and then deal with the demon to avoid damaging the precious book in a fight.

However, the room was too small, and Roy had to walk close to the wall to avoid destroying the magic circle.

After getting the book, Roy just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a gust of wind blew from somewhere and blew away some of the red powder on the ground.

In an instant, the woman's body on the ground began to twitch.

"Boss, the body is moving!"

Roy lowered his head and saw a large number of tentacles emerging from the woman's hollow face.

(Screenshot)
In the blink of an eye, the corpse stood up again under the control of the tentacles.

Roy thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Get out of here quickly!"

"Boss, what should you do?"

Wade is still quite loyal and even cares about what happens to Roy.

"I'll be fine, just go!"

Demon King Roy had done all of that, so he naturally wouldn't be afraid of a tentacle demon, even though this guy was the ugliest demon he had ever seen.

After the tentacle demon stood up, it did not take care of Roy who was closest to it, but walked straight towards Emma and Wade.

At this moment, Emma seemed to be completely frightened, standing there motionless with eyes wide open and mouth wide open.

Fortunately, Wade did not give up on Emma. He picked up the stunned little girl and ran outside. The tentacle demon didn't even look at Roy and followed the two of them out.

Oh, it seems this guy really has no eyes.

"ignore me?"

Roy took out his chainsaw sword. He didn't choose to transform because the room was too small. If he transformed, he would probably have to fight while bending over.

But even if Roy didn't transform, with his current physical fitness and chainsaw sword, he could kill most of the demons.

"Die to me!"

Press the button of the chainsaw sword, the serrated chain starts to spin wildly, and the friction between the chain and the air creates a lot of sparks.

With 49 points of strength attribute and the powerful cutting ability of the chainsaw sword, the tentacle demon was easily sawed into two pieces.

However, the Tentacle Demon's sawn-in-two body sprouted more tentacles, reconnecting the two sides.

It seems that physical attacks still don’t work. What a hassle!
