American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 239 Even the toughest lips become soft when kissed.

After an afternoon of tidying up, the students had basically finished tidying up the holiday home.

So at dinner, someone suggested having a bonfire party by the lake to celebrate the first night of the school trip.

This suggestion was met with approval from many people. Fortunately, the resort had all sorts of facilities, so everyone started moving ingredients and equipment to prepare for a lively bonfire party.

After speaking with Elizabeth in the afternoon, Roy became much more cautious. He had discovered that there were hidden cameras everywhere in the resort, and it was clear that someone was watching Roy and his group through these cameras.

Thankfully, it was discovered early, otherwise Roy might have become Mr. 91 Roy again.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to everything, maintaining her usual languid demeanor.

"Roy, don't overthink it. With me here, nothing will happen. Remember what happened in Amboras (the Wax Museum)? Didn't we resolve it smoothly in the end?"

Since Elizabeth said so, Roy breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I hope so."

Roy still hoped that his Oak School career could end successfully. If someone prevented his student life from being successful, then he could only make that person's life unsuccessful.

As night fell, the atmosphere of the bonfire party by the lake gradually became lively.

Similarly, somewhere in Crystal Lake, a group of people were having a heated discussion.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! Now it's time for the part you've all been waiting for. This year's rules are a bit special, so let me explain the detailed rules first, and then you can place your bets. Please be patient!"

A middle-aged man stood next to a whiteboard with a megaphone. The whiteboard was covered with photos, and upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were all photos of students from Oak School who had come to Crystal Lake for a school trip.

Photos of all 63 people, from Roy to Elizabeth, were posted on the whiteboard.

"Because there are a lot of subjects in this experiment, we won't guess how they will die like usual. This time, we'll guess who will die first! Now, everyone pick up a piece of paper and write down the numbers of the people you think will die first. Each person can write down 5 numbers. Let's see if Jason can match the first 5 people he will kill. The person who guesses the most correctly will take all the prize money in the prize pool!"

Now, let's place our bets!

The scene instantly descended into frenzy, with dozens of people waving white paper and placing bets.

I'll bet $100!

"500! I'll bet 500!"

……

According to statistics, Roy became the most popular person in the room, and almost all the men wrote him down on a piece of paper.

Roy's behavior of dragging four people along is so hateful that every man would wish for him to die.

The other students were more average, but most of them were also beautiful.

Jennifer, Ashley, and Elizabeth are all at the top of the list, while Nydy, perhaps because of her lack of presence, is not written about much.

"Very good! Has everyone placed their bets? Then we'll stop accepting bets from now on. Now let's just quietly enjoy Jason's performance!"

A mysterious middle-aged man in a black suit stood high up, watching the farce unfolding below through a floor-to-ceiling window. Beside him was a blonde young woman in formal attire.

The mysterious middle-aged man had fiery red hair and beard, and looked imposing.

Although the young woman was wearing a loose-fitting suit and pencil skirt, she couldn't hide her sexy and slender figure.

"Mr. R, is it really okay to let them do this?"

The red-haired middle-aged man, known as Mr. R, gave a cold smile.

“Erica, you need to understand one thing: if humans are suppressed for too long, they will turn into beasts. So in order to allow humans to remain normal most of the time, we must allow them to occasionally unleash their animalistic nature.”

The sexy and beautiful Erica wore a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, Mr. R spoke again.

"Erica, I have some personal business to take care of tonight. Keep an eye on these guys for me and don't let them go too far."

"Okay, Mr. R."

After saying that, the red-haired middle-aged man turned and left the room, leaving Erica alone to watch the jubilant crowd below.

Meanwhile, the bonfire party by the lake had reached its climax, mainly because Mr. Wei Luziye De had somehow found several large cases of beer.

The teachers did not stop the students from drinking, since it was in the middle of nowhere and the police wouldn't come to check.

Moreover, with so many people, each person actually doesn't get much.

Fueled by alcohol, the atmosphere at the bonfire party became even more lively, and then some people started to put on talent shows.

Some were singing, some were dancing, and everyone was showing off their talents.

But when it comes to creating some fun, it has to be Wade. He suggested that everyone take turns telling ghost stories.

What's a bonfire party without ghost stories?
The ghost story terrified the girl, who snuggled into the boy's arms, and their relationship quickly blossomed.

The effect is actually the same as watching a horror movie.

When men and women go to see horror movies together, how many of them actually enjoy watching horror movies?
Of course, only the girl herself knows whether she was scared or not. Perhaps what you thought was the prey was actually the hunter.

"Roy, I have something I want to tell you."

Roy was listening to Wade's vivid ghost story, which he found rather boring.

Although Wade is a good storyteller, the problem is that Roy has already seen plenty of ghosts and even been with two female ghosts, so these ghost stories are not scary at all for him.

Nidi, on the other hand, was terrified and had already snuggled into Roy's arms.

However, Nidyl is also the type who is both bad at games and loves to have fun. She is timid but very interested in horror movies or horror games.

Jennifer had been dragged along to play horror games by Neddy quite a few times before.

"Ashley, is something the matter?"

"It's about that wooden box from last time."

When Roy heard this, he assumed that something had happened at Parker's house again.

"A wooden box? Let's go over there and talk."

Roy and Ashley's departure went unnoticed by most people, except for Jennifer, Nydy, Nancy, and Elizabeth who glanced at them a couple of times.

In fact, the number of people at the bonfire party has decreased significantly, with only about forty people remaining.

As for where the rest of them went, those who know, know!
Ashley pulled Roy into a grove of trees by the lake and suddenly looked at him with teary eyes.

This strange look in her eyes made Roy realize that the teenage version of Scarlett Johansson didn't want to talk to him about the wooden box; she probably wanted to discuss a multi-billion dollar business deal.

"Roy, I love you! Even if I can only be your lover, I don't want to be apart from you!"

That's really bold!

Ashley confessed her feelings to Roy directly. Although her blush was visible even in the darkness, the girl still looked at Roy without backing down.

Roy was slightly taken aback by such a bold confession, but it was indeed something Ashley was capable of doing.

Ashley, are you sure you've thought this through?

"I've thought it through! Maybe I'll regret it someday, but if I don't confess to you now, I'll regret it now!" Hearing the girl's stubborn words, Roy smiled wickedly and then stroked Ashley's cheek.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it seems that her thumb accidentally went into the mouth of the younger version of Scarlett Johansson.

"Ashley, I won't give you a chance to regret this, are you ready?"

Roy meant that Ashley shouldn't regret it later, but Ashley seemed to misunderstand and simply tied her hair up and squatted down.

Wait a minute, that's not what I meant!

Roy wanted to stop Ashley, but she had already started taking his belt.

Fortunately, although Ashley is rebellious, she really has no experience at all and is the kind of person who is all talk and no action.

After trying for a long time without being able to undo Roy's belt, he could only look up at Roy with a red face.

"Roy, how do I undo this belt? Don't laugh!"

It seems Ashley really wanted to take this opportunity to offer herself, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad. Her current behavior has completely destroyed the previously romantic atmosphere.

Roy suppressed a laugh and patted Ashley's puffed-up cheeks.

"Alright, Ashley! I know how you feel, but now is not the time. There will be another opportunity next time."

Who knows if there are hidden surveillance cameras in this grove of trees? Roy really doesn't want to be the male lead in adult films anymore.

But Ashley was unaware of all this. Her girlish anxiety led her to believe that Roy was indirectly rejecting her, so she clung to Roy's leg.

"No! You must accept me now!"

Roy was starting to get a headache; the rebellious girl was just too stubborn.

Since words cannot stop rebellious teenage girls, the only way is to take action.

So Roy picked Ashley up and kissed her on the lips.

Ashley's body instantly tensed up like a bowstring, then quickly softened into a puddle of mud. The change was so rapid that Roy almost couldn't hold her.

Sure enough, even the toughest lips become soft when kissed!

After Roy's stern reprimand, Ashley finally realized her mistake.

"Ashley, please listen to me. Now is definitely not the time!"

Ashley rested her head on Roy's shoulder, her face redder than a tomato, her voice softer than a mosquito's buzz, showing no trace of her previous rebellious girl demeanor.

"Well, I will listen to you."

Roy breathed a sigh of relief; at least he hadn't become the male lead in the pornographic film.

Just as he was about to put Ashley down, she refused to land, clinging to him like an octopus.

The meaning is very clear: she wants Roy to carry her back, and she probably wants to show that she has successfully won Roy over.

The rebellious girl is actually quite strong-willed; otherwise, she wouldn't have challenged Jennifer before.

Although Ashley and Jennifer have reconciled and their relationship is no longer tense, they still have a competitive spirit.

Competition is actually a good thing. Just as Roy was about to carry Ashley back to the campfire party, he suddenly heard a shrill scream.

Oh no! Something happened so soon? Roy had thought it wouldn't happen until at least the middle of the night.

"Ashley, go find Jennifer and the others right now, I'm going to check on them!"

The screams brought Ashley back to her senses.

"Roy, you need to be careful too!"

"I will."

Following the sound, Roy saw a young man and woman with disheveled clothes.

Huh, there's no body or blood at the scene. It's like nothing happened.
Roy looked at the young couple with surprise. They were his classmates in the same grade, but not in the same class, so he wasn't very familiar with them.

At this moment, the man seemed even more frightened than the woman, shrinking behind her as if he were about to jump onto a tree branch.

"Snake! There's a snake at your feet!"

snake?
Roy looked down at his feet and sure enough, he saw a snake about a meter long. Because its color was similar to the surrounding environment, he didn't notice it at first.

The snake was probably frightened by the scream just now, and now, in its dazed state, it actually tried to coil around Roy's thigh.

How could Roy possibly let the snake succeed? If it were Bai Suzhen or Xiaoqing, he could barely accept being a rough-and-tumble hero and having them help him cultivate.

This ugly-looking snake should just get lost!
Roy swiftly grabbed the snake's tail and threw it far away like a shot put.

Hopefully, no unlucky soul will happen to be hit by a snake.

At this moment, several teachers arrived.

"what's going on?"

Matt Sanchez, wanting to show off his prowess, naturally asked Roy and the others for their questions.

"I was just scared when I saw the snake, it's nothing."

Elizabeth chuckled as she looked at the disheveled young man and woman.

"The wild is not a suitable place for romance. This kind of environment not only has snakes, but there might also be lynxes or something, which are much more dangerous than snakes!"

The lynx refers to the cougar, a large predator commonly found in America.

If the young couple had encountered a cougar, Roy and his friends would probably be feasting by now.

At this moment, other students also arrived, which made the couple very embarrassed.

Fortunately, the middle-aged female teacher saved them.

"Alright, it's getting late, so let's end the bonfire party here! Ms. Elizabeth is right, there are indeed many dangerous wild animals in this kind of outdoor environment. I suggest that if you want to continue having fun, you should go back to the holiday home!"

Seeing the plight of the wild mandarin ducks, the others felt a pang of sympathy and all abandoned their plans for a field training exercise.

If this happens during a crucial moment in a field training exercise, and they see snakes or lynxes, it could probably cause them lifelong psychological trauma.

The students dispersed, returning to their holiday homes in small groups.

“Ms. Elizabeth, it’s still early. Would you like to have a drink? I brought a bottle of good wine.”

Matt Sanchez was indeed prepared, but Elizabeth only glanced at him briefly.

"Sorry, I don't drink! Roy, I'm tired, take me back to my vacation home."

Elizabeth could never not drink; her favorite drink was a red wine made from blood, but it depended on who she was drinking with.

Matt Sanchez glared at Roy, leaving Roy speechless.

Can't you see how obviously Elizabeth is shifting the blame?
