American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 242 Bringing a Filial Son

At this moment, Jason on the other side had broken free from the Dark Touch's restraints and raised his chainsaw sword to continue attacking Roy as before.

The Touch of Darkness is ultimately just a tentacle made of energy, and is somewhat lacking in power.

Unfortunately, Roy didn't slip this time. Instead, Jason was kicked in the knee by Roy's avatar, causing him to kneel on one knee.

Roy rushed forward and punched Jason hard in the face, knocking him backward.

In Demon Form, the 72 points of Strength attribute are finally enough to break Jason's near-invincible state due to his high physique.

However, Jason's mask was surprisingly well-made; it only developed some cracks and wasn't shattered by Roy's punch.

This situation still surprised Roy somewhat, but Roy didn't have time to think about it, because Jason, who had been knocked backward, did not stop attacking and wanted to use his chainsaw to slash Roy horizontally.

That's absolutely vicious!
Because Jason was kneeling on one knee, this horizontal slash could only reach Roy's knee and the top of something.

Roy almost lost a part of his body.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Roy entered bullet time and controlled his soul clone to attack Jason's hands, causing him to miss his target.

Jason can't be allowed to keep wielding the chainsaw sword; this weapon is far too lethal!

Roy took a few steps back.
Just then, Nidi finally caught up, panting heavily.

"Roy, are you alright?"

Roy's reinforcements arrived, and Jason, who had stood up again, hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering a strategic retreat.

"Stop him!"

Roy instantly saw through Jason's intentions. He couldn't let the other side continue their guerrilla tactics, so he quickly called for Nydy's help.

While the Holy Light Feathers created by Nidi don't deal much damage, they can generate light to dispel the darkness, depriving Jason of the opportunity to teleport and stealth.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Roy pulled out his Remington M870 again.

Under the influence of hellish power, this pump-action shotgun transformed into an even more ferocious and terrifying form, while its power also underwent a dramatic change.

"Take this!"

boom!
The Hellfire Shotgun spewed out a huge flaming skull from its muzzle. Jason, with his agility, couldn't dodge it at all and was hit squarely in the face by the flaming skull.

boom!
The explosion of the flaming skull finally shattered Jason's mask, and he painfully dropped the chainsaw sword and covered his face.

Jason, now a ghost, should not feel pain, so this reaction is probably just Jason not wanting others to see his face.

In the movie, Jason was bullied by the students at Crystal Lake Summer Camp because of his deformed appearance, which is why he covered his face and killed them.

Similarly, because he drowned in Crystal Lake, he also had some fear of Crystal Lake.

However, this version of Jason seems slightly different from the one in the movie. Roy noticed that some constantly wriggling red tentacles were growing on Jason's ugly face.

What the hell is this?

Just then, Jason suddenly turned around and started running away, his posture like a child about to go home and tell his parents, which greatly surprised Roy and Nydy.

"Roy, aren't we going to give chase?"

Roy picked up the chainsaw sword from the ground, and his body returned to its normal form.

"We'll definitely chase them, but there's no need to rush!"

Roy noticed that Jason wasn't running in the direction of the resort; he was probably trying to escape home.

Perfect timing! Roy also wants to find out where those people hiding behind the resort are hiding, and Jason might be able to take Roy and Niddy there.

The camera then shifts to a laboratory setting.

In front of a huge split-screen display, a group of people were watching the surveillance footage intently, with occasional bursts of cheers.

"Dr. Leonard, is everything going well now?"

This Dr. Leonard is the middle-aged man who previously hosted the live betting, and he is also the person in charge of the Crystal Lake project.

The person currently questioning Leonard is Erica, who is next to Mr. R.

Mr. R was a high-ranking official sent by headquarters for an inspection, and Erica was Mr. R's secretary, so Leonard dared not neglect him.

“Ms. Erica, there were indeed some problems at the beginning of tonight’s experiment, but it went relatively smoothly afterward.”

On the split screen, footage of Jason's massacre was playing, just like countless experiments in the past, Jason was always so diligent.

Erica nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, Dr. Leonard, I hope today's experiment will also end very smoothly."

"Of course! Ms. Erica, you and Mr. R can rest assured!"

Just as Leonard was making assurances to Erica with a big smile, a staff member suddenly rushed up to him and whispered something in his ear.

Almost instantly, the smile on Leonard's face vanished.

Erica didn't become Mr. R's secretary because of her beautiful face and sexy figure.

Of course, these two points are also important advantages, but Erica herself is also quite capable, so Leonard's change in expression immediately made her make some kind of guess.

“Mr. Leonard, if there’s anything you need to do, you don’t have to worry about me. I can just wander around the base.”

Leonard forced a smile.

"Then I'll take my leave, Ms. Erica."

As Leonard left the scene with a livid face, Erica's smile vanished. She glanced at the bloody scene on the screen, then quickly returned to her office to make a phone call.

"Hey, Mr. R, there seems to be a problem at the base... Yes... I understand!"

Leonard was also hurrying down the corridor on the other side.

"You're saying Jason's already back at the cabin? That's impossible! The security footage clearly shows Jason still wreaking havoc!"

One of his subordinates thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that someone hijacked the surveillance system and is playing fabricated footage to deceive us?"

"Are you kidding me! First of all, our base doesn't have an external network, only an internal network. How could someone hack into the surveillance system? Wouldn't it be better for them to do something else with that capability? Besides, where did such realistic surveillance footage come from?"

Leonard unleashed a torrent of abuse on his subordinates, leaving them feeling extremely wronged.

"But Jason has indeed returned, hasn't he?"

Leonard gritted his teeth, his expression becoming extremely ferocious.

"Maybe this Jason is a fake, and someone is trying to fool us this way! I have to see it for myself to be sure!"

Arriving at a room at the end of the corridor, Leonard opened something that looked like a periscope and saw Jason, who had lost his mask, kneeling in front of a rocking chair.

"Damn it, it really is Jason! Then who is that killing spree on the screen?" Of course, the image on the screen was an illusion created by Elizabeth. The illusions created by the King of Sloth could fool not only the naked eye but also electronic devices.

"Dr. Leonard, Jason seems to be on the verge of losing control!"

Through the periscope, it was indeed clear that Jason's body was twitching and contorting, as if something was trying to burst out of his body.

"Oh no! The Seed of Silence is about to hatch! Damn it, of all times!"

It's obvious that this so-called Seed of Silence is the project Leonard is currently researching, and he would be very happy if the Seed of Silence hatched under normal circumstances.

However, Jason, who is now out of control, could cause incalculable damage. Leonard gritted his teeth and decided to play it safe. If a major accident occurs, he might lose his position as the project manager.

Jason pressed a red button, and the rocking chair in front of him suddenly began to shake, accompanied by the voice of an old woman.

“Oh, Jason, my son! You did a wonderful job, Mom is so proud of you…”

Upon hearing this sound, Jason's body gradually calmed down, and he lay on the dummy leg of the rocking chair like a child longing for maternal love.

"That's what it looks like."

Roy and Nydy, who were watching from a distance, witnessed this scene and understood how the mysterious organization controlled Jason.

Although Jason is a 100-person slayer and a crackdown on prostitution, he is also a very filial son and listens to his mother, Pamela Worhus, the most.

In the famous movie "Freddy vs. Jason", Freddy initially controlled Jason's actions by appearing in the image of Jason's mother, Pamela Warhols, in his dreams.

Don't ask me why Jason, a dead man, can still dream. What logic does a horror movie need?

So this mysterious organization is quite daring; they actually managed to control Jason using a dummy and a voice changer that could mimic Pamela Warhols' voice.

That mysterious organization must be located under this lakeside cabin, right?

"Roy, what should we do now?"

"Let's hide a little longer and wait for the people controlling Jason to come out before we make our move!"

At this moment, Jason, who was lying in front of the rocking chair, seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After a while, a large metal cylinder rose up from the floor near the rocking chair, and several people in protective suits climbed out of the cracked floor.

This large metal cylinder must be the prop used to contain Jason. Roy couldn't help but think of a movie called "Space Jason," in which Jason was frozen in ice and then discovered in the space age, so he fought his way from Crystal Lake to a spaceship.

The metal cylinder was opened, revealing a large cryogenic chamber. Several people in protective suits checked the surroundings and then tried to move Jason inside the metal cylinder.

During this time, the mannequin on the rocking chair played Pamela Warhols' voice continuously.

"That's strange, where did Jason's mask go? No wonder he suddenly lost control!"

"Ugh! He's so ugly, I feel disgusted every time I see his face!"

"Stop chatting! Dr. Leonard seems really angry. Let's get back to work!"

boom!
The words had barely left her lips when a gunshot rang out. A bullet flew from afar, bypassing the obstacle and striking precisely the head of the dummy on the rocking chair. Pamela Voorhees' voice came to an abrupt halt.

Before the people in protective suits could react, Jason reopened his eyes.

"Thick, polite, crab!"

These were the last words they left behind before they were torn to pieces by the berserk Jason.

Those inside the base, realizing the situation was dire, immediately tried to close the entrance, but the crazed Jason had already rushed inside before the door could close.

"Let's go!"

Roy and Nydy emerged from their hiding place. It was Roy who fired that crucial shot, using a curved bullet to shatter the dummy's head.

As it turns out, special abilities can always come in handy.

However, once inside the cabin, Roy was stumped again by the floorboards, because the spot where Jason had gone down was now closed.

Although Roy could roughly determine which floorboard Jason had just stepped on, the floorboards were now completely sealed, leaving no place to make a move.

Are we supposed to use a chainsaw sword to forcibly cut the floor?

Roy started scratching his head.

Putting aside whether the chainsaw sword could withstand such a task, just cutting a small enough entrance for a person to enter would take a considerable amount of time; by the time they got down there, it might be too late.

At this moment, Nidi started circling the metal cylindrical cryogenic chamber, as if looking for something.

"Nidi, what are you looking for?"

“I’m looking for a manual switch. I think this kind of device must have an emergency control switch; it can’t be entirely controlled remotely.”

Makes sense!
No matter how advanced and reliable a machine is, it will always have an emergency stop button so that it can be operated manually in case of a malfunction.

However, Roy didn't know much about mechanics and could only watch as Nidi pressed buttons on the metal cylindrical freezer.

"Found it! This must be it!"

Nidi opened a metal plate, revealing a manual control panel underneath. One of the red buttons was large and conspicuous; this is usually the emergency stop button.

After studying it for a while, Nidi looked up at Roy.

“Roy, I’ll open the door to this cryo-chamber. We can go inside and then into the underground base. But once the cryo-chamber is activated, it will release liquid nitrogen to freeze people!”

Liquid nitrogen absorbs a large amount of heat when it vaporizes, which can lower the temperature to tens of degrees below zero in just a few seconds.

Even with Roy's current 60 points in constitution, he wouldn't dare say he could withstand the effects of liquid nitrogen.

"Is there no way to lower the cryogenic chamber without using liquid nitrogen?"

Needy shook her head.

"The safety program programmed into this cylindrical metal cryogenic chamber is like this: the chamber won't descend unless liquid nitrogen is activated. Changing the program would require removing the control board and reprogramming it, which would be very troublesome, and I don't have the tools on hand!"

Judging from this, could it be that Nidy actually has the ability to do this?

Roy looked at Nidi with a strange expression, making the little girl a little embarrassed.

"Roy, Roy, why are you looking at him like that?"

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if you're the female version of Tony Stark!"

Yes, there are Marvel and DC comics in this world. Roy even cosplayed as Batman before.

"I'm not that good!"

Nidi's face turned bright red from the praise, and she almost twisted her body into a pretzel.

"Alright, Nidi, I'm going into this cryogenic chamber now. You can manually press the start button."

(Similar to this liquid nitrogen cryogenic chamber)
