American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 236: A Roadside

Lilith chose to take Ophelia back to Jennifer's basement before waking her up.

Ophelia was initially a little confused when she looked at Lilith, after all, the Witch of Desire was using Jennifer's body.

However, Ophelia's expression changed immediately upon sensing Lilith's aura.

"I never thought I'd end up in your hands!"

Lilith wore a kind smile, but her eyes were icy cold.

After Ophelia betrayed Lilith, the bond between the mother and daughter completely disappeared.

Now there are only two women who are mother and daughter in name, but are actually enemies.

What a loving mother and filial daughter!
"Ophelia, I won't say any more. Just tell me where my body is, and I'll let you die a little more easily."

Ophelia spat at Lilith, but Lilith, who was prepared, dodged it.

Lilith knew her daughter's personality all too well and had anticipated that the other party would try to disgust her.

Despite her disgusting plan failing, Ophelia was not discouraged; instead, she burst into laughter.

"Lilith, don't you find my body familiar?"

Lilith carefully examined Ophelia's body. The body did look familiar, but was it strange that her own daughter's body looked familiar?
Then, Lilith's expression changed.

"How did you get so tall! Could it be...?"

Ophelia laughed wildly, her eyes filled with endless hatred.

"Hahaha... That's right! This is your body! Isn't it amazing?"

Lilith was so "surprised" that her face almost turned green with surprise.

"You actually fused my flawless body with yours!"

Lilith was furious. Her body was created by God, and although it couldn't compare to the archangels and demon kings, it was still much stronger than ordinary angels and demons.

That's why Lilith is so eager to get her body back.

But judging from Ophelia's attitude now, she definitely can't get her body back. Who knows what the other party might have done inside her body, and things could easily go wrong.

"You bitch!"

Lilith slapped Ophelia across the face, even though she knew it was pointless, but at least it felt good!

"It's no use, Mother! Do you really think you're some kind of primordial witch? You're nothing but a bitch banished from her home by God, forced to sell your body!"

Ophelia was still laughing wildly, tearing Lilith's face off completely.

The purpose was very clear: to provoke Lilith so that she would kill him directly.

As a veteran witch, Ophelia knew all too well the methods witches used to torture people. After Elizabeth sealed her magic, she knew she had no power to resist.

Then a quick death is the best option.

Lilith was so angry that Jennifer's bra size actually increased.

Often, lies don't hurt people; it's the truth that's hardest to bear. The main reason Lilith was so angry was that what Ophelia said was actually true.

Before the Great Flood, the earth was truly a world where true gods roamed everywhere and demigods were as common as dogs.

Although Lilith possessed a body created by God, her strength at that time was only considered average.

Forget about demon kings and archangels; Lilith might not even be a match for some high-ranking demons or wild animistic gods (like the Black Panther God of Wakanda, a spirit god created through long-term faith).
This made Lilith's life very difficult until she became involved with Samael, who was then a seraphim.

Samael was originally Lucifer's subordinate, leading an army of angels known as the Angry Angels.

With such a husband protecting her, Lilith's life indeed became much better, and she even established a powerful witch tribe at one point.

However, these favorable conditions disappeared completely after Samael indiscriminately massacred a tribe.

Samael, who had committed a sin, was judged by God, stripped of his status as a seraph, and banished to hell.

Back then, hell wasn't like it is now, a chaotic mess of demons and evil people.

In reality, Hell was originally just a prison that God used to imprison opposing gods and punish fallen angels.

Back then, the environment inside Hell was quite nice, even picturesque. But for some reason, Hell suddenly became what people know it to be today.

As a result, the imprisoned pagan gods and sinful angels fell one after another, transforming into evil and terrifying beings.

The most obvious evidence is the description of the 72 demons in the ancient version of the Key of Solomon, which is quite different from the description in the new version.

Lilith experienced a dramatic fall from grace after losing Samael's protection; that period was also the most difficult time for her.

After all, Lilith's personality has offended quite a few people before. Once they see that her protector is gone, won't those enemies seek revenge for their grievances?
As a result, Lilith had to lead a large group of daughters on the run, living a precarious existence.

During this period, selling her body and her daughter were routine operations for Lilith.

Just when Lilith thought she could finally live a good life after God unleashed a great flood to cleanse the world and all the monsters and demons disappeared, she was betrayed by Ophelia and had her body taken away.

Then he was forced to sleep for thousands of years until he awoke in Jennifer's body.

Lilith was furious and at one point wanted to kill Ophelia outright.

But after going through so much, Lilith's personality had changed a lot, so she ultimately held back.

"Ophelia, I won't let you die so easily! I will torture you slowly, forever!"

Ophelia tried to speak, but Lilith grabbed her chin and stuffed something into her mouth.

Soon, Ophelia could no longer speak or move; only her eyes could still move, as if she had become a vegetable.

Lilith used witchcraft to create a pit in the basement floor and then put Ophelia in it.

"My dear daughter, I'll take care of you slowly after I find a new body. For now, experience this feeling of darkness!"

Ophelia's eyes darted around frantically, as if she wanted to say something, but Lilith would never give her another chance to speak.

"Now is not the time for you to speak. You have plenty of time to think things through. I hope that next time I see you, you will understand your mistake!"

Lilith wore a kind smile, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

Using her magic once more to fill the pit, Lilith left the basement with a frosty expression.

"It seems I need to find a way to obtain a temporary body first!"

Jennifer doesn't completely obey Lilith, so Lilith is essentially bound to the role of an ordinary schoolgirl, making it inconvenient for her to do whatever she wants.

However, Lilith cannot possess other people's bodies casually, as that would be too risky.

Ordinary people's talents are insufficient to bear the soul of the original witch, and if it were forcibly possessed by someone without witch talent, it would probably not even be able to cast a spell.

Do you think Lilith wants to stay in Jennifer's body? She only stayed because she had no other choice.

Jennifer not only possesses the blood of an ancient witch, but also retains some demonic blood within her, which is why she can bear Lilith's soul. Originally, she wanted to use Roy's power to find her daughter and reclaim her body, but now that plan has completely failed, she has to find another way.

Lost in thought, Lilith quietly returned to her room, removed her makeup, changed back into her pajamas, and went to sleep as if nothing had happened.

The scene shifts to a dark office where a person sits silently at a desk.

I don't know if the office owner is trying to save on electricity, but he doesn't turn on the lights in the middle of the night and just sits there silently.

Suddenly, the phone on my desk rang.

The man quickly picked up the phone receiver.

"Hello, this is Bartholomew."

“I am Genevieve Aristide.”

"Chairman, do you have any instructions?"

"I heard you've been dealing with a junior FEA agent lately? Are you just bored?"

Bartholomew panicked upon hearing this.

"Chairman, please let me explain, he..."

The person on the other end of the phone rudely interrupted Bartholomew.

“I don’t care what the reasons are! The company’s top priority right now is Dr. Harlan Wade’s project with the military! Everything else has to give way to this project! Do you understand what I mean?”

Bartholomew felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that some of his subtle actions had been discovered by the FEA, and that the FEA must have warned the company, which was why the chairman was so angry.

"I understand, Chairman! I will correct my mistakes!"

At this point, Bartholomew had no choice but to take the blame, secretly resenting Fiona for being so incompetent as to not even be able to handle such a small matter.

What Supreme Witch? She's nothing but a roadside witch, being whipped like a top!

Upon hearing Bartholomew admit his mistake, Genevif Aristide's tone softened considerably on the other end of the phone.

"Bartholomew, if you're not busy lately, keep a close eye on the Canyon project and the Laytons' project. Especially the Laytons; that couple took so much funding from the company and caused such a huge accident. Don't let them get into any more trouble!"

When Genevieve mentioned it, Bartholomew also remembered that his conflict with Roy was because of the Laytons' project (the Eight-Legged Monster incident).

"Chairman, I will keep a close eye on them, don't worry!"

“Very good, Bartholomew. This is the most important moment for the company, and everything must be done with utmost care. As long as Dr. Harlan’s project can be completed, everything will be different! As for FEA, someone will clean up the mess.”

Genevieve was painting a rosy picture for Bartholomew, and some of those rosy pictures even convinced the painter himself.

"I see!"

Bartholomew breathed a sigh of relief after the call ended.

The feud with FEA and Roy can only be put behind us now.

Unfortunately, although Amacham has the military as a backer, the White House is paying increasing attention to the FEA due to the frequent occurrence of supernatural events in recent years.

It's a foregone conclusion that the FEA will eventually become a behemoth like the Pentagon. Even Amarcham can only make some advance preparations and dare not continue to go against the FEA.

Otherwise, you'll definitely suffer the consequences later.

"I'll let you off this time!"

Bartholomew gritted his teeth, then picked up the landline and started dialing a number.

"Hey, arrange my schedule. I need to inspect the Canyon project and the Laytons' new project."

Then, Bartholomew made another phone call.

“Hey, De La Salle, this is Bartholomew. I have some work I'd like to give you. Let's meet tomorrow.”

Roy in Los Angeles had no idea what was happening outside while he was exploring the Dark Forest.

However, after discussing the Dark Forest Theory with Saltana, Amy, and Dalia in a clear and concise manner, Roy deeply felt that the Dark Forest was indeed too dangerous.

Really!

It's filled with terrifying female monsters who want to devour people alive!

A strong and handsome boy like Roy stands out like a firefly in the dark forest.

Thus, poor Roy was subjected to repeated oppression by the three female monsters. Even though his physical attribute reached 60 points, he still felt somewhat overwhelmed.

There was no other way; the three older sisters felt they wouldn't see Roy for a while, so they had to make the most of this opportunity to eat their fill.

The three worked together seamlessly and with perfect teamwork; they were practically treating Roy like an animal!

Under such a terrible pincer attack, Roy could only silently endure the humiliation until the later stages of the war when he finally turned the tide, relying on his physical advantage to usher in the dawn of victory and complete the counterattack.

"Do you dare to ride on my head again, Saltana?!"

Saltana shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.

"No, I wouldn't dare!"

"Still dare to mock me, Dalia!"

Dalia sobbed. She wanted to answer Roy, but unfortunately, her language module was blocked and she couldn't speak.

"Amy, do you still dare to ambush me?"

Amy was also speechless. She rolled her eyes and uttered meaningless syllables, her mind already wandering.

The fierce battle ended in Roy's victory.

It’s really not easy!
When Roy left the Dolphin Hotel, he actually felt his legs shaking a little.

Human potential is indeed limitless!
Roy suddenly felt that he could not be satisfied with the status quo and had to continue to improve his physical condition.

After the war, Roy didn't concern himself with the aftermath of the events in the mirror world. After all, he had said what he needed to say, and if FEA insisted on courting disaster, no one could stop him.

So, the next day, Roy drove his Bumblebee away from Los Angeles and back to Falls.

Because of Bumblebee's self-driving technology, Roy doesn't need to rest along the way, which means he doesn't have to deal with a bunch of messy things that happened on his previous long trips.

However, on the other hand, Amy, Penny, and Ashley all met on the road.

I don't know if this kind of uninterrupted journey is a good thing.

Anyway, Roy quite liked it this way; he could sleep in the car and wake up home, saving him from all the boredom of the journey.
