American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 215 Beautiful things should be appreciated
"How many seconds did it take me?"

After the game, Roy asked Allen, who was holding a stopwatch in his hand.

"2.3 seconds, great job, Roy!"

"It's okay. I'm going back to rest. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Roy broke free from the reporters who were surrounding him, ran to the lounge to take off his protective gear, changed into casual clothes and left the gym.

Arriving at the parking lot, Roy had just gotten into his car when the passenger door was suddenly opened and someone got in.

Roy was about to ask why New Yorkers were so rude when he saw the woman in the passenger seat had red eyes.

"Roy, is that you?"

Yes, this woman is Claire.

After the plane crash, most of the passengers were not injured and were discharged from the hospital quickly.

Because of the plane accident, Claire had no intention of attending any psychology seminar. She originally wanted to leave New York, the sad place, and return to Austin, but she suddenly remembered that Roy claimed to be a boxer, and saw the news about the Olympic World Qualifying Tournament.

So, Claire somehow came to the world qualifying tournament to watch the game, and happened to see Roy playing in the game.

Until just before getting in the car, Claire was still a little bit incredulous, although the moment she asked the question, she was sure that the man in front of her was the man she had been dreaming about.

"Yes, it's me."

A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Claire could no longer control her emotions and hugged Roy.

"I thought you were dead! Why? Why didn't you come to me?"

Roy was a little embarrassed. The reason he didn't go to find Claire at first was because if she had just been rescued, there would definitely be people from the airline and the media around her, and he was afraid of being recognized.

I thought to myself that I would wait until the plane crash had died down before looking for Claire.

After arriving in Boston, Roy was busy with the witch school and forgot about this matter.

"Sorry, this is my- uh…"

Roy was about to apologize when Claire kissed him on the mouth. Some of her tears flowed into Roy's mouth, which tasted salty and bitter.

But this did not stop Claire from expressing her longing for Roy through her sweet words.

At this time, Bumblebee automatically turned on the car radio and started playing romantic light music to add to the atmosphere for Roy and Claire.

A mature car must learn how to act as a wingman.

After a long time, Claire reluctantly let go of Roy. Although this psychologist loves sports and fitness, his lung capacity has its limits after all.

Now Claire was a little short of oxygen because she had just kissed too deeply.

Leaning on Roy's shoulder, Claire's breath was as sweet as orchid and her eyes were blurred.

"It feels like a dream. I'm really afraid that when I wake up I'll lose you again!"

Claire reached out and stroked Roy's cheek, as if this would make her feel real.

Want to feel real? Easy! Roy has a huge sense of realism!

But at this moment, Roy suddenly heard the sound of a flash, and when he turned around, he saw someone taking a secret photo.

This is so immoral!

Roy immediately got out of the car and tried to take the photo back. The man turned around and ran, but how could he outrun Roy?

The person who took the photo ran for less than three seconds before Roy grabbed his shoulder.

"Give me the camera right now!"

"You, don't touch me! If you dare to touch me, I will report you to the International Boxing Association and disqualify you from the competition!"

The guy was holding the camera and backing away in panic.

The fists of professional boxers are no joke, especially those of heavyweight boxers, who can literally knock an ordinary person's brains out with just one punch.

Is this guy a reporter?
Claire caught up from behind and tried to dissuade Roy.

"Roy, can you hold back? Otherwise you'll be suspended!"

"Listen, do you hear me? If you don't want to get banned, stay away from me!"

Someone actually threatened Roy with his identity as a boxer. This was the first time this had happened. It was one of the troubles of fame.

It was because he had just performed brilliantly in the World Qualifying Tournament that reporters chose to follow Roy and take photos of him.

It is estimated that after Roy steps onto the Olympic stage, this kind of thing will happen frequently, so he must change his thinking in the future, at least not be as casual as before.

But for now, we still have to deal with this daring reporter.

"look into my eyes!"

In the dark night, the reporter suddenly discovered that Roy's pupils seemed to have changed color, and then he found that the handsome man in front of him turned into a terrifying red skeleton.

"what--"

A scream pierced the night sky, and when the reporter came to his senses, he found that Roy and Claire in front of him, as well as the camera in his hand, were all gone.

The reporter scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Did I take too many drugs?"

At this time, Roy was already driving Claire back to the hotel.

What just happened caused the atmosphere between the two to cool down a bit, and the car became silent.

After a while, Claire suddenly spoke.

"Roy, so you really are a demon?"

Roy raised his eyebrows. He guessed that Claire must have seen his transformation on the plane, so there was no need to hide it.

"Yes, are you scared?"

Claire reached out and held Roy's hand.

"Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm more afraid of losing you than being a monster!"

When Roy turned his head, he saw Claire's affectionate eyes, which made him unable to resist switching to automatic driving.

Fortunately, Roy finally restrained himself.

After entering the hotel, Roy and Claire started kissing in the elevator and almost got into bed.

With a last ounce of willpower, Roy carried Claire back to the hotel room before the final battle began.

As Claire had said before on the plane, she was indeed a good girl, and she seemed very clumsy in kissing skills and other aspects.

When they were kissing in the car before, Roy thought it was because Claire was emotional that it looked so rough, but now it seems that she has probably never kissed anyone before.

This was extremely rare in America. Roy had seen and eaten this before, but only Jennifer and Needy were completely inexperienced girls.

Considering that Claire is only 26 years old this year, but already has a doctorate in psychology, it means that she must be a kind of academic genius. Girls who are obsessed with studying are indeed not very popular when they are students. The same is true for Needy.

Claire was quickly stripped naked. The female doctor covered her face with her hands and dared not look at Roy. Her fair skin turned pink because of shyness.

Roy looked at Claire with admiration. She was really rosy-faced.

"You, can you stop looking at me like that?" "Why? Such beautiful things should be appreciated!"

Claire was speechless at this moment. Although she was so brave when she went up before, when it really came to this moment, she was a little scared.

Roy naturally would not let Claire retreat. He loaded the breech-loading gun with ammunition with one hand and then marched to the gate of the city!
Because of fear, Claire didn't dare to open her eyes, so she was completely unprepared mentally. This almost scared her to death.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Claire burst into tears on the spot.

Roy's face was also full of surprise, because he could clearly feel that he had broken through the Maginot Line.

This is actually...

Roy quickly controlled himself to avoid causing further trauma to the female recruit.

After all, this caliber is no joke. It is still too terrifying for female recruits who are going to the battlefield for the first time.

Fortunately, Claire likes sports and has a habit of fitness, and she even has obvious abs.

In addition, being in her twenties also makes Claire more adaptable.

So after a few minutes, Claire successfully adapted to the battlefield.

There is no need to say much about what happened next. The large-caliber artillery continued to provide saturation fire coverage, which defeated Claire's army.

In desperation, Claire could only retreat continuously, and later she chose to dig up the levee and try to use floods to block the enemy.

But doing so would only hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt oneself by eight hundred. The only thing Claire could do was to raise the white flag and surrender.

Roy naturally would not miss this opportunity to pursue the victory. He would not let the enemy play the Dunkirk retreat.

So, Claire's final fate was to lose consciousness while soaking in the sea water.

[Ding! Claire Sheffield's Conquest Chest has been obtained! Open it?]

Roy worked overtime all night long to dig, and he was so tired that he didn't get off work until dawn.

At this time, the quilt was soaked.

Roy had no choice but to throw the quilt to the ground and find a blanket to cover the sleeping Claire.

He got another Conquest Chest. With this one, Roy now had four treasure chests in his hand. It was about time to open them.

I feel that the quality of this treasure chest should be pretty good.

But Roy thought that as long as Zoe's Black Widow ability was not drawn out, it would be fine.

As usual, I’ll touch the kitten first. Today the kitten seems to have fallen into the water and is wet all over.

[Opening Madison's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 1 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 spiritual attribute point! 】

It's a pity that Madison's ability to control objects with his mind was not unlocked, which is indeed a powerful ability.

But on second thought, the ability to control objects with the mind should still depend on mental attributes, and Roy's mental attributes don't seem to be too good.

[Opening Zoe's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 2 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 1 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

Well, this was the first time Roy was looking forward to a treasure chest not being delivered.

Fortunately, nothing was shipped, but this also meant that he didn't get anything from opening two treasure chests in a row.

Is this good luck or bad luck?

[Opening Maria's Conquest Treasure Box...]

【Gain 3 spiritual attribute point! 】

【Gain 1 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

【Get a special ability soul substitute! 】

Finally, it was delivered, but all three witches opened up spiritual attribute points, which also caused Roy's spiritual attribute to surpass the will attribute and strength attribute, becoming the second highest attribute.

Soul Substitute: A special talent from Maria and Alan, allowing you to separate a portion of your soul into a special substitute to fight. The soul substitute exists in a special space, unable to be hit by physical attacks, but can attack enemies and partially ignore the target's defense. The soul substitute's strength depends on the spiritual attribute invested. While using the soul substitute, you will temporarily lose the spiritual attribute points invested.

This new ability seemed very complicated just by looking at the introduction, so Roy thought it would be better to give it a try.

There was a sharp pain in his head, and then a black shadow appeared beside the bed. Judging from the figure, the black shadow should be Roy, but his facial features could not be seen clearly.

This black shadow can share Roy's vision and hearing, like an invisible clone. It can use various fighting techniques, but cannot hold weapons, and its physical fitness is also slightly worse than Roy's.

Roy has now invested 10 points in his mental attributes, and the black shadow's overall physical fitness is also about 10 points, which is similar to that of an ordinary person who has not received training.

After investing 20 points of spiritual attributes, the black shadow's comprehensive physical fitness also reached 20 points. This strength indeed depends on the spiritual attributes invested.

If we invest 50 points in spiritual attributes, wouldn't there be two Roys fighting each other?

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking!

After investing his spiritual attributes into his soul substitute, Roy would temporarily lose these attributes. This meant that investing too much spiritual attributes would prevent him from using other special abilities.

For example, the magic circle of Solomon's Key, the bullet time of Assassin's Heart, and Touch of Darkness.

These are all big mana consumers!

Therefore, when Roy fights, he can only invest a maximum of 20 points of spiritual attributes in his soul substitute, which is equivalent to the maximum combat power of humans.

After all, it is not Maria. Maria has two souls in one body, and the soul of her twin sister Alan is also in her body, so she doesn't have to worry about how much mental energy to put into the soul substitute.

Overall, this ability is pretty good, especially when it comes to sneak attacks, which can be used to turn the tables at critical moments.

The last treasure chest!
[Opening Claire Sheffield's Conquest Chest...]

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 3 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

【Gain special abilities and Selina Kyle's athletic skills! 】

Out again!

But when Roy saw the special ability that had just been unlocked, he smiled strangely.

Well, Anne Hathaway, who plays Claire, did play Catwoman in the movie "The Dark Knight Rises", and Roy was also impressed by this version of Catwoman, but he didn't expect that Claire's first treasure chest would reveal Catwoman's abilities.

[Selina Kyle's Sports Techniques: These sports techniques from Catwoman Selina Kyle will help you achieve top-notch flexibility and coordination, allowing you to maintain balance in any situation.]

This special ability made up for some of Roy's shortcomings. Roy's body flexibility and coordination have never been excellent, and he basically relied on strength in combat.

Although Roy can currently resolve most battles with strength alone, what if he encounters a situation in the future where strength cannot resolve the issue?

It is always a good thing to be able to make up for shortcomings.

Roy glanced at Claire's charming face sleeping beside him, and an idea came to his mind.

I have to find an opportunity to let Claire cosplay as Catwoman!
