American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 52 Green Forest County

"Mark is dead? Who did it?"

"I don't know what you're asking."

"Where was I? I was... I was buying clothes at the shopping mall."

"A conflict? It was just kids playing around before, a friendly exchange, okay?"

"He's dead. At his funeral, I will lay a flower for him and sigh that there is one more beautiful thing in the world."

"Mark's enemy? He's so evil, so evil that he must have offended many people. How would I know?"

"That's all I know."

After Maria finished speaking, several police officers stood up and said goodbye.

A car accident and a homicide occurred at the same time.

The American police officers immediately locked on Maria, who had been in contact with the deceased before his death and had sufficient motive to commit the crime.

Killings out of hatred are a very common reason.

But fortunately, Maria had a strong alibi.

Therefore, the police officers only came to the house to get some relevant information and told Maria to keep her cell phone open during this period, as they might contact her at any time.

Maria was upright and had nothing to fear, and with Baling's secret guidance, she handled the interrogation smoothly.

After all, this time, Maria really didn't do it.

Maria faced her mother's care with a smile, calm as if nothing had happened.

He ate and drank as usual, behaved normally, and was even a little excited.

But in her mother's eyes, Maria's behavior seemed a little too cheerful.

Someone died, and it was a classmate of yours, but you still acted like it was Thanksgiving, which is a bit abnormal.

Therefore, mother Amy became increasingly worried about her daughter's mental state.

It was so serious that she was about to suffer from depression.

I don’t know if it’s because my hallucinations have worsened, but Amy has been dreaming about two Marias lately, one is the soft and sweet Maria, and the other is the cold and cruel Maria.

Both Marias were her daughters.

She told her husband, Dan Brennan, how she felt.

Dan just advised her not to think too much about it, saying it was just an illusion. Maria just grew up too fast, and she couldn't fully adapt and accept it deep down in her heart for a while.

However, Dan actually had the same idea in his heart, that is, his daughter Maria was indeed changing too fast.

It happened so fast that he hadn't even realized it yet, and he had already passed through both the rebellious stage and the mature stage.

Sometimes, Dan herself felt a sense of strangeness when facing her daughter.

Maria, you make me feel strange!
Dan thought so.

That night, Dan thought for a long time, perhaps, his emphasis on family was no longer enough.

……

"Family trip!" Maria was surprised and happy.

When she saw the news her father announced, she felt incredible for a moment.

My father, Dan, is a plastic surgeon. Although he is rich, he is always busy with work.

It has been a long time since they went out together as a family.

"You heard me right. I think it's been a long time since we've traveled together." The serious Dan rarely forced a smile.

The mother was also very happy: "Dear, it's next weekend. We will leave next Friday night."

"That's really exciting news. Where are we going?" Maria asked.

"Greenwood County. A great place to get close to nature."

bedroom.

biu! biu! biu!

Baling treated the room as his own home and shot out many straw nets.

As soon as she opened the door, Maria was hit in the face by a flying net.

"Oh my god, what have you done?"

Maria came in excitedly, but was immediately covered in rage. She rolled her eyes, which only made her look more helpless, even helpless.

Looking up, she saw her pillow, quilt, and other miscellaneous items still hanging from the ceiling. "I'm a failed man."

As he spoke, Baling began to swing back and forth again.

Spider-Man's staying power is too great, and Baling now has to cosplay him vigorously.

Maria pulled the net off her face and held her forehead speechlessly.

She regretted going to see the Spider-Man movie, even though it was quite good.

"I am Venom! I am Venom!"

Rice stalks shot out from Baling's body, still swinging in the air.

Maria: “…Oh my god!”

"Honey, can you be normal?" Maria tried to bring Baling back to his senses.

But she failed.

"I'm going to sprinkle some dust in your eyes." Baling shook his hand, and shot out a quickly woven thin rope, which was put on Maria's newly bought stuffed bear, and then began to sprinkle dust.

Baling had disliked this bear for a long time. Whenever he saw it, he would think of the stuffed bear whose bear star he had burned.

My hands are itching to take this bear away as well.

"Stop!" Maria's eyes widened.

"Hehehe!" Baling does what he wants.

The ash spreading is complete.

You are no longer useful.

Baling kicked the stuffed bear away, then jumped up, grabbed a rope, put it around the bear's head, and hung it on the ceiling.

"Uncle Baling! Uncle Baling!"

Maria repeated it in a dark voice.

"OK! Who is calling Uncle Baling?" Baling still wanted to save some face, although it was not much, so he stopped.

"Next weekend our family will be traveling. We will leave on Friday night, rest for a night, and arrive the next day."

Maria said what she wanted to say when she entered the room.

"Oh, kid, Uncle Baling wishes you a wonderful weekend." Baling thought for a moment and said.

"I mean, you come too," Maria said.

"Uncle Baling has been very busy lately and has important things to think about." Baling did not lie this time.

"Your big deal is to get all my stuff stuck to the ceiling, or to murder my bear."

Maria didn't dare to leave Baling at home after the movie, otherwise, she was afraid that her bed would fly into the ceiling when she returned home next time.

"That's a necessary sacrifice for perfecting my skills... I really don't have time. I'll definitely do it next time."

"Please, Alan said she's afraid someone will cut her."

"Really?" Baling looked at Maria suspiciously.

"Really." Maria dodged guiltily.

"Since it's little Ailan's request, I agreed with reluctance. After all, I'm Uncle Baling, a very good man."

Thinking back to the last time Alan was chased and hacked by Jason, Baling still felt a little guilty.

"Great!"

Maria jumped onto the bed excitedly.

"By the way, where are you going to travel?"

"I heard from Dad that it's a place called Green Forest County. It should be quite popular."

"Greenwood County. Hmm, the moment I hear the name, I feel the spring air, as if vibrant life is unfolding before my eyes."

Baling didn't care much about it and just said a few words casually.

"Okay, now, it's time for you to put my things down."

"No big deal." Baling snapped his fingers and untied the restraints with a thought.

"oops."

Objects fell from the ceiling like raindrops, and Maria crouched down below with her head in her hands.
