American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 30 One Day

early morning.

Maria woke up.

I feel a little tired, as if I didn't sleep well.

But I feel particularly relaxed, as if I have suddenly unloaded the burden after carrying it for a long time.

Walk to the bathroom.

Maria rubbed her eyes. In front of the mirror was a delicate face with faint dark circles.

She went downstairs to get ready for breakfast and then headed out to catch the school bus.

Mother Amy had prepared breakfast and father Dan Brennan was already eating.

Maria has a good appetite today and looks much better than before.

The mother looked at Maria happily, and even the usually serious father had a rare good look on his face.

The family exchanged a few words harmoniously in a short period of time.

Maria walked out of the house with her small schoolbag on her back. After a few steps, her face suddenly fell and she looked unhappy.

Next to the window on the second floor.

Baling watched Maria leave from afar, and saw her miserable appearance.

He didn't follow her, but kept staring at her back, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Sunrise and sunset.

The day passed quickly.

Baling happily turned on the computer in his bedroom and surfed the Internet for half a day, making up for the happiness he had lacked in those days.

But it's not completely idle.

With the help of the Internet, Baling also searched for many stories about ghost stories, supernatural phenomena, demons, curses and the like.

Some of them he was familiar with, and some he had never heard of.

Among them, the husband-and-wife duo, the Warrens, are currently very famous exorcists and have been recognized by the church.

It is said that he has a great record and has taken care of and handled many supernatural incidents.

In addition, there are many masters among the people, such as psychics, detectives, wildlife investigators, etc., but many of them are just hearsay and lack credible and clear achievements.

There are countless supernatural events in various places, including tourist attractions, hotel rooms, rural resorts, and popular old houses.

If you go out without being careful, you may disappear and lose contact, and your body may never be found.

After reading all kinds of news, Baling finally understood why hell was filled with people.

It turns out that this world has a good foundation, which gave birth to such a group of monsters and demons.

"Honey, you're back. How was school today?"

Mother Amy said to Maria who had just returned home.

As always, she felt that her daughter was in a bad mood. Was it because of the academic pressure?
"Mom, it's okay."

Maria responded listlessly, head down, and walked back to her room.

boom!
Close the door.

In a closed space, she can vent her emotions freely.

Then he grabbed a yellow stuffed bear beside the bed and punched it again and again, beating it out all the grievances he had suffered during the day.

After finishing.

Maria took a long breath, pulled a cigarette from her pocket, and puffed out smoke.

Then, she seemed to be trapped in sage time, sitting blankly in the chair, her thoughts flying to who knows where.

Maria didn't come to her senses until her mother Amy called her down for dinner. She answered and left the room.

I heard footsteps gradually fading away.

The teddy bear that had been beaten so hard moved.

Under the furry hair, a crack suddenly appeared on the back, and the little scarecrow squeezed his body out.

"Damn it! Xiong Xiong is so cute, but he got beaten too. It's totally unfair."

Baling originally wanted to hide in a more inconspicuous place so that he could get closer and absorb the negative energy, but he was beaten again for no reason.

"No, we have to find another place."

With a few strokes of his hand, the cracks on the stuffed bear were sewn up again with fine straw, and there was no sign of damage at all.

Baling looked around for a while, then climbed to the top of the wardrobe and hid in the blind spot.

In the days that followed, whenever Maria returned from school, she would be filled with negative energy.

Sometimes, Baling couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong with education in this beautiful country? Going to school is more terrifying than going to a grave. Has your school been updated to the level of High School Passion?"

Baling absorbed all the negative emotions Maria expressed every day into his body without hesitation.

Over time, Baling's power gradually returned.

The seeds of power hidden in the body of the good incarnation also began to take root and sprout.

day.

Maria goes to school.

Baling was the only one in the bedroom.

But today, Baling has no intention of indulging in the false network.

Now that his strength has been initially restored, he will begin to plan his great cause.

In his interactions with Alesha, Baling gained a lot of knowledge.

His first step was to seek better quality food.

Soul, faith, negativity.

These three items are ranked in decreasing order of preciousness from left to right.

The harvest of ownerless souls is a rare opportunity.

The large amount of negativity that inevitably accompanies killing is too conspicuous.

We can only take the middle course and start with faith.

This is the choice of many demons.

The establishment of many secret sects often originated from here.

Confused people long for guidance, and helpless people crave hope.

It was time for Baling to meet the lost lambs.

His first follower, even a disciple.

Baling has already chosen his goal, and once he decides on something, he will do his best to accomplish it.

Contact, understanding, action.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

The first thing Baling wanted was to obtain more intelligence.

Take out the collected materials: Maria's hair to represent herself, a stuffed bear to represent a close object, and the ashes of a burnt cigarette to represent habits.

He was chanting a strange language, and the sound like a whisper echoed in the room.

Balingyun lit a flame on the stuffed bear and then threw in hair and cigarette ashes.

The stuffed bear turned into a raging fire, and wisps of gray smoke emerged and swirled into circles.

Baling's straw body trembled slightly, guiding wisps of gray smoke into his body.

Scenes appeared in my mind.

Reaching into his chest, Baling took out a miniature book of ghost stories and kept writing and drawing on the pages with his fingers.

The stuffed bear burned out bit by bit.

All the smoke in the room dissipated.

Baling also stopped.

He looked at the newly added images and texts in the book of strange stories.

This was all information he had previously recorded about Maria, which he obtained through prediction and deduction.

Mark, the school bully, his childhood playmate Lily, his father Dan, his mother Amy, and a translucent spirit Alan.

Their information is recorded in the Book of Strange Stories in brief or detailed terms, depending on the depth of their relationship with Maria.

Read the page about Maria herself.

Baling has gained a deeper understanding of Maria. In some aspects, it can even be said that he understands Maria better than Maria herself.

No one understands Maria better than him!
"Maria, is this why you've become so cowardly and inferior?"

"Luckily, you met me."

"It's nice to be a coward buster once in a while."
