American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 243 Little Fists Pounding Chest
Roy decided to take the gamble anyway.

Nidi looked worried about this.

"Roy, I don't know the concentration of liquid nitrogen used in this cryogenic chamber; it might be extremely dangerous!"

The extreme temperature of liquid nitrogen freezing is -196℃, a temperature that is simply unbearable for humans.

"It's okay, I think if the time is short enough, I should be able to hold on."

Roy's confidence stemmed from his strength; he was confident he could break open the cryo-chamber and escape if the situation turned against him.

"Alright then, I'll try to see if I can turn the freezer compartment's power to the lowest setting for you!"

After spending a few minutes studying the cryo-chamber, Nidi still didn't dare to press any buttons randomly, so she could only let Roy go directly into the cryo-chamber.

"Roy, please don't push yourself!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you become widows."

The cryogenic chamber was shut down, and the rapid vaporization of liquid nitrogen carried away a large amount of heat, making Roy feel as if his blood was about to freeze.

Sure enough, it was a stretch for the human body to withstand such a freezing effect; at this rate, I figured I'd lose consciousness in a few more seconds.

At this moment, the cylindrical metal freezer compartment had just begun to descend, and Roy could still see the worried look in Nydy's eyes.

Can't stand it anymore!

There was no other way, so Roy transformed into his demon form again, instantly growing several times larger.

Fortunately, the cryogenic chamber is quite spacious, probably because Jason's size was taken into account during the design process, so there was plenty of room, and Roy's demon form could fit perfectly inside.

But that's not enough. As vaporized liquid nitrogen is continuously injected into the refrigeration chamber, the temperature will only drop lower and lower.

So Roy covered his body with a layer of hellfire to insulate against the low temperature, which made him feel a little better.

One minute later, the metal cylindrical cryogenic chamber finally passed through the passage and stopped in a room that resembled a laboratory.

Roy smashed the glass of the cryo-chamber with a headbutt, not because he liked using his head, but because his arms were completely immobile and he couldn't exert any force.

The laboratory was empty. After Roy transformed back into human form, he strode to the door and kicked it open. Screams echoed down the corridor.

It seems Jason has already begun the massacre.

Roy also had to speed things up; he needed to find a few high-ranking people who could extract information from Jason before Jason killed everyone.

Just then, a group of people came out from around the corner of the corridor. The leader was a beautiful and sexy blonde young woman, followed by several fully armed mercenaries.

When their eyes met, they both paused for a moment.

Erica looked at Roy warily.

"who are you?"

Roy flashed a handsome smile.

"you guess!"

Erica wasn't in the mood for joking with Roy right now. Although the boy in front of her looked sunny and handsome, she felt that her life was more important.

"Kill him!"

Without hesitation, the mercenaries behind him raised their guns and aimed at Roy.

Roy instantly entered bullet time mode, then quickly retrieved a Smith & Wesson M625 and M629 revolver from his inventory.

boom--

The revolver shots rang out in a single, continuous line, instantly blowing the head off the mercenary behind Erica.

Erica felt a blur before her eyes, and suddenly there was no one standing next to her. This sudden change left her completely stunned.

"Madam, you'd better not move around, or I can't guarantee your safety!"

Erica dared not move and could only watch as Roy walked towards her with a smile on his face.

At this moment, that sunny smile had become a devilish smile in Erica's eyes.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from behind. It turned out that more mercenaries had arrived at the other end of the corridor. Roy's two revolvers were out of bullets, and it seemed that there was no time to reload.

Erica's eyes lit up with hope, thinking she could be saved, when she saw Roy throw two daggers behind her.

The dagger struck the two unlucky men who charged the fastest. The remaining mercenaries immediately prepared to fire at Roy, but they suddenly saw two women in white dresses appear in front of them.

Where did that woman in the white dress come from?

The mercenaries were stunned for a moment, then instinctively pulled the trigger. The bullets pierced through the woman in the white dress and all hit the opposite wall.

Yes, Roy had already grabbed Erica and run away when the mercenaries opened fire.

The sight of two women in white dresses standing unharmed after being shot hundreds of times filled the mercenaries with fear.

However, some of these mercenaries were knowledgeable and knew that Sadako and Kayako were evil spirits.

"They're ghosts! Use your energy weapons!"

Some mercenaries pulled out a strangely shaped weapon, but Sadako and Kayako weren't stupid; they weren't going to let the two mercenaries fire their guns.

The two female ghosts instantly entered the bodies of the two nearest mercenaries and began to control their bodies to attack the other mercenaries.

After the two mercenaries were killed, Sadako and Kayako would switch to another body and repeat this process several times until all the mercenaries were eliminated.

Then, Sadako and Kayako obediently returned to Roy's side with the cursed daggers, showing a fawning expression, like little pets eager for praise.

"Have they taken care of those mercenaries? Well done!"

Roy imbued his palm with some spiritual energy and gently stroked Sadako and Kayako's heads, his technique remarkably similar to petting a cat.

Sadako and Kayako both wore expressions of enjoyment; if they could make a sound, it would probably be like the roar of an imperial engine.

"Alright, you can hunt freely in this base. If you see an ugly monster, come back to me."

Roy patted Sadako and Kayako on the head, telling the two female ghosts to get to work.

This base is full of villains who have indirectly or directly killed countless people. These are all achievements, and they can also enhance the strength of the two female ghosts.

As for Roy himself, he still had to interrogate the blonde beauty he had captured.

The blonde beauty appeared very calm, but her shifty eyes and somewhat disordered breathing betrayed her inner turmoil.

Roy deduced that the blonde beauty was a career woman, someone who shouldn't be difficult to deal with.

"What's your name?"

The blonde beauty didn't even glance at Roy, as if she were deaf, clearly refusing to cooperate.

Roy first activated his Eye of Judgment and observed the blonde beauty. He found that she only had a faint yellow light on her, indicating that she had only done some petty theft or other bad things.

I guess he hasn't been working here long and hasn't completely turned into a bad person yet.

However, since this guy isn't cooperating, Roy has to teach her a lesson.

He grabbed the blonde beauty by the neck and lifted her up with one hand.

"I'm asking you, what's your name?! Don't you understand English?!"

Roy's rough handling terrified the blonde beauty, and she managed to utter a single word: "E...Li...Ka..."

Only after Erica spoke did Roy release her grip to allow her to continue breathing.

"My patience is running out, Ms. Erica! Don't push me to the point of violence!"

Roy pinched Erica's chin, staring at her with his dark golden eyes.

Although Erica was still trying to appear calm, her outward composure was completely useless; Roy had long sensed the aura of fear emanating from her.

"You're so young and beautiful, it would be such a waste if you died! Why don't you cooperate with me obediently?"

Roy's words seemed to have an effect, and Erica couldn't help but start answering him.

"If I cooperate with you, will you let me go?"

Roy nodded.

"I've always been a bit soft-hearted when it comes to women. If you're obedient, I can let you go."

Erica bit her lip, still hesitating.

Roy, however, was already losing patience and grabbed Erica's chin, pulling it into his face.

"Look into my eyes, bastard!"

The Shadow of Fear was activated instantly, plunging Erica into an unparalleled hallucination of terror.

This blonde beauty's willpower wasn't very strong to begin with, and this incident actually made her wet her pants.

Roy disgustedly moved his feet away to avoid getting any unknown liquid on them before he began to question Erica.

"Tell me, what is your organization called?"

"Wooden house..."

Wooden house, another wooden house!
This mysterious organization has conducted these kinds of bizarre experiments before. The midnight movie incident in Los Angeles, the mysterious cargo transported by commercial airliner not long ago, and now this Crystal Lake camp base—the list goes on and on.

This was just one of the incidents Roy encountered; who knows how many other evil deeds the cabin had committed elsewhere.

Compared to the Wood House organization, Amacham is a tech company with a conscience.

Roy was determined to eradicate this malignant organization.

Where is your cabin's headquarters located?

"I...I don't know...I just...became Mr. R's...secretary...I don't know where the organization's headquarters is!"

Erica was trembling and tears were streaming down her face; she didn't seem to be lying.

The woman looked to be in her late twenties, which was quite young. If she had a master's or doctoral degree, it was possible that she had just started working.

It seems the key to the problem lies with Mr. R, Roy continued to ask.

Who is Mr. R?

By this time, Erica had adapted to the power of the Shadow of Fear, which could be considered a flaw of the Shadow of Fear—being exposed to too many things that one fears would quickly become numb.

Therefore, people who are repeatedly exposed to fear will experience increasingly shorter periods of fear.

However, Erica has realized that she has exposed the organization's secrets, and she is somewhat resigned to her fate.

“Mr. R is a high-ranking member of the cabin and is in charge of a lot of organizational secrets. I am here today to accompany him to inspect the Crystal Lake base.”

Just as Roy was about to ask Erica where Mr. R was, he saw Kayako frantically drifting over from a distance.

"Kayako, what happened?"

The moment the question was uttered, Roy saw the answer.

Then, our 100-man-slaying heartthrob, Jason, the number one male god of Crystal Lake, rushed over from the end of the corridor.

No one knows what happened to Jason in the underground base, but his appearance has changed drastically.

Aside from his face being unappetizing, Jason was otherwise quite normal.

But now Jason's face is covered with tentacles, his whole body has swelled up several sizes, and he looks even bigger than Roy in his demon form. He is also covered with strange red hair.

At that moment, the guy was charging at Roy like a crazed red baboon.

"Fake!"

In this situation, Roy certainly couldn't continue interrogating Erica, so he immediately transformed into his demon form, preparing to face Jason's charge head-on.

There was no other way; Jason's current size almost completely filled the corridor, leaving Roy nowhere to dodge and forcing him to confront him head-on.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

After activating his berserk abilities, Roy finally managed to withstand Jason's charge in his red-haired form. Jason then grabbed Roy's hands, and the two began to test their strength.

Jason's power increased greatly after the mutation, but Roy in his demon form and berserk state could still hold on.

However, red-haired Jason unexpectedly grew a second pair of arms on both sides of his body.

Before Roy could react, he was hit in the chest by a series of tiny punches, each bigger than a pressure cooker.

Who can stand this!

"Fuck Fuck!"

Roy was starting to struggle, but his hands were firmly held by red-haired Jason, and he couldn't break free at all.

Soul Stands are incredibly effective against fragile units, but their effectiveness is very limited against the tough and resilient Jason, as demonstrated in previous battles.

With no other option, Roy had to activate the Dark Touch ability.

The ability "Touch of Darkness" grants an additional tentacle for every 10 points of Spirit attribute, so Roy summoned 5 pitch-black tentacles at once.

Two tentacles were used to control Jason's extra arm, while the other three tentacles pierced into Jason's body, devouring his life energy.

However, Jason is an undead, so the Dark Touch shouldn't be able to absorb much life energy, so the final battle will still become a contest of strength between the two sides.

To Roy's surprise, Jason's body mutated again. His torso suddenly split open, and a large number of red tentacles emerged from his stomach and wrapped around Roy's body.

This art style is getting weirder and weirder!
The slippery tentacles made Roy feel extremely disgusted, and Jason's change put him at a disadvantage once again.

Left with no other choice, Roy had to revert to human form, using the sudden change in size to break free from Jason's grasp, and then quickly retreat.

During the retreat, Roy transformed back into his angel form.

Roy realized that he was at a huge disadvantage in close combat with Jason in his red-haired form.

Jason the Red seems to be able to mutate at any time as needed, so it's best to keep your distance from him.

However, the corridors of the underground base are not a suitable environment for angels to fight; their height and width are insufficient to fully utilize the angels' powerful mobility.

Roy simply didn't have a better option right now, so he could only try fighting as an angel for the time being.

Roy took out the chainsaw sword from his inventory, and with two halos of courage and a halo of protection beneath his feet, he looked like a god of war, gleaming with golden light.

"Face the Light!"
