American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 38 The next day
A person's value can be cheap or expensive.

Body, mind, soul.

Sometimes they look cheap when put together, but when separated, their expensive nature is revealed.

Baling is a greedy man and he wants it all.

At first, I just wanted to develop a potential believer, gain faith, and make a living.

But as the contact deepened, Baling found that he was very greedy, and he urgently wanted to take the soul as well.

I am the boss of the Silent Hill town and the current acting lord. How can I have only those inhuman monsters as my subordinates? It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

I want to become bigger and stronger.

He longed for more and more.

So, he changed his mind.

Baling wants to possess everything, and his extraordinary wisdom, a contract, and a crucial bit of sincerity constitute his killer move.

I make friends sincerely!

Life and death are both within the scope of one's lifetime, and he definitely did not lie.

Hehehe! This wave, really made a lot of money.

Baling felt that he would sleep with his mouth crooked and couldn't stop laughing tonight.

Because, when he signed Maria, he also accepted her twin sister Alan as well.

Perhaps it was because Alan had stayed in Maria's body for too long, and the two were identical twins, so over time, their souls had become closely connected.

It can be said that you are in me and I am in you, and we are entangled with each other endlessly.

It’s no wonder that Alan wanted to stop Maria, because her signing would also put Alan in danger.

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

Baling will be the biggest beneficiary.

"Our relationship has changed so much, why do I feel so empty inside?"

The aftereffects of having a small portion of her soul extracted as a deposit for the transaction were reflected in Maria's body.

The departure of important people cannot be overshadowed even by the joy of becoming a high-level lifelong friend.

What should I do? My heart feels so empty.

Maria frowned, covered her heart, and even felt a little dizzy.

Baling patted her head and soothed her, "Relax, it's normal to feel dizzy. You've been through so much at once, your emotions have been surging, and your body hasn't gotten enough rest, so you're experiencing stress."

"Really?" Maria asked half-believingly.

"Really? I wouldn't lie to you. Honesty is one of my few good qualities."

"But I still feel empty inside and uneasy."

"Ah, I see. You must not have adapted to the change in our identities yet. Let's make a pact."

Baling suddenly had an idea and his thoughts immediately came to his mind.

"We are lifelong friends, so we have to do things that are different from ordinary friends."

"From now on, you must set aside a certain amount of time every day to hold the pendant I gave you, praise my name, and pray for our friendship."

"This way, we can maintain our relationship and make our precious friendship shine even brighter."

"how?"

Baling sincerely extended his fist and looked at Maria.

"It's a strange thing, but I like it."

Maria gave a light fist bump as a sign of agreement.

Strangely enough, after Maria made the agreement with Baling, the emptiness in her heart did ease.

The body is warm, caring and comfortable.

This was certainly not a psychological effect, but the moment Baling bumped fists, he activated the weak power of resurrection in the pendant.

The power of resurrection slowly repaired Maria's body, and the damage caused by unhealthy diet and lifestyle was recovering.

Although this level of power has no effect on the soul at all, it is enough to create the illusion of peace of mind.

"It's late. Good night, Maria."

Seeing that Maria was no longer disappointed, Baling prepared to leave. He had to go back and count his gains. Tonight, he would have a good dream. "Wait, Baling, I have one more thing to do."

Maria stuck her head out and called out to Baling who was about to jump back onto the ceiling.

She was a little nervous and embarrassed, her pretty face was pale and she looked a little uneasy.

"What do you think of me...from a friend's perspective."

The shimmering light blue eyes were like sparkling sapphires. The timid girl mustered up the courage to ask a question that had already been answered.

Did she not believe the previous answer, or did she want to hear it again?

Baling sighed, with a look of pampering on his face.

Several rice stalks extended from the scarecrow's fingertips, and under the control of his mind, the rice stalks were skillfully woven into a beautiful rose.

"You are like this flower. If I had such a flower, I would give it to you because you are as beautiful as it is."

After saying that, the rose slowly floated up and flew towards Maria.

"Okay, kid, any questions? Uncle Baling is going to bed."

Maria happily took the falling rose, her brows relaxed, and she seemed to feel lighter.

She looked forward to it and asked, "After I go to sleep tonight, will tomorrow be a beautiful day?"

Baling replied softly, "I think so, Maria."

"I'll bet on the lifespan of our neighbor Uncle Freddy that tomorrow will be better."

"For my wisdom and my strength will be with you."

"Good night, Maria."

In the darkness, Baling walked with his body hanging upside down, leaving behind a deep shadow.

"Good night, Baling."

Maria ended her long night.

……

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ding Ding Ding!
The vibrating alarm clock made a loud sound.

It's time to get up.

Although she went to bed late last night, Maria did not feel tired when she woke up the next day. Instead, she felt full of energy.

There is a pink diary on the bedside, which was used for previous communication.

Maria opened it as usual, turned to the latest page, and read the familiar content, then she suddenly remembered.

She didn't write down any new questions last night, so naturally there would be no new answers.

"This is not needed for the time being." Maria looked at the diary, thought for a moment, and locked it in the deepest part of the drawer.

"Ba Ling, are you awake?"

Standing on a chair, Maria tiptoed to look at the gap at the top of the wardrobe.

"I'm here."

Maria suddenly turned around and saw Baling standing in front of the French window, his cute-looking face smiling. "Good morning, Maria. Are you ready to take down this unhappy world?"

"Me, me?"

Maria was confused and pointed at herself in confusion, not yet reacting.

Baling pointed immediately, his eyes sharp. "Yes, it's you. New recruit number one, Maria, are you ready?"

Maria stood at attention immediately: "I'm ready."

"Who's ready?"

"I'm ready!"

"Good! Very energetic."

Baling nodded with satisfaction.

"Next, I will accompany you to school. If you have any questions, just call me. I will be your most caring big brother!"

Maria saluted in a mock manner: "Yes, sir."
