American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 250 Ashbringer

After Anderson's farce, the Crystal Lake incident was quickly resolved.

The FEA has officially taken over the area surrounding Crystal Lake, and headquarters will deploy agents to monitor Crystal Lake, operating independently of the FEA system in Louisiana.

Well, they've already built the base in log cabins, so FEA agents just need to move in with their bags. It's amazing!

The Wood House organization had made significant investments around Crystal Lake, which are now all owned by FEA.

Therefore, Roy also received a generous reward.

However, Gerald still wanted to remind Roy.

“Mr. Black, I must remind you that the cabin has lost this base, and there will definitely be an investigation afterward. As soon as the cabin investigates, they will quickly discover your existence, and no matter how the FEA tries to cover it up, they can't hide it!”

This is true, because so many people know about Oak School's school break trip that it's impossible to keep quiet about it, so the cabin must have been able to find out about Roy's situation.

Roy was already mentally prepared for this.

"If they dare to bite me, they should be prepared to break their teeth!"

The murderous aura emanating from Roy sent chills down Gerald's spine, even though he was a veteran agent.

"Ahem! Mr. Black, the Cabin Organization is also an enemy of the FEA. I will inform you if I have any intelligence!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Orin."

Because of many things to do, the students from Oak School ended up spending another night at Crystal Lake Resort before being sent back to Falls by FEA on the morning of the third day.

Despite being asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, the promised seven-day school trip ended with him returning on the third day, which must have puzzled his parents and family.

What's more, one person was missing when they returned.

Some rumors did circulate, but they were still within a controllable range.

Thankfully, the gym teacher, Matt Sanchez, wasn't a local, or things might have gotten much worse.

Fortunately, the residents of Waterfall Town became increasingly busy, preventing the situation from escalating further.

As the tourist season heats up, students with higher aspirations are also beginning their final sprint, and even those who don't want to go to university are considering what to do after graduation.

However, there was one exception: Roy still did nothing all day.

He couldn't be said to have been completely idle. On the very night he returned to Waterfall Town, he performed the Ghost Wolf bloodline fusion ritual for himself at Sawyer Manor.

The ceremony was a great success. Death, unusually, did not cause any trouble. Not only did it increase Roy's physical attributes by 5 points, but it also upgraded one of his special abilities.

[The Rebel with Special Abilities Upgrades to Ashbringer!]

Ashbringer: Angel, demon, vampire, werewolf, you go further and further down the path of ascension, death and destruction will accompany you throughout your life, and the path you walk will leave only ashes.

Passive ability: You can now fuse the positive energy, negative energy, and bio-energy within your body into chaotic energy, which can be used as the energy source for all your abilities.

Active ability: You can now freely transform into a demon form, an angel form, or a ghost wolf form.

Roy tested the Ghost Wolf form. This new transformation form mainly enhances agility, has extremely strong burst power, and is very powerful when used in conjunction with Assassin's Heart.

Furthermore, Ghost Wolf has a very strong regenerative ability, which can accelerate the recovery speed by sucking blood. After transforming, it also has night vision and a super sense of smell.

Most importantly, the physical changes in the Ghost Wolf form are the least of all the forms. Only the pupils turn a deep blue, as if wearing colored contact lenses, and glow slightly. Otherwise, it is almost the same as a normal human.

In short, Heather and Penny liked this form very much, so their bloodline fusion ritual was to be arranged.

However, it will take a few more days. The bloodline fusion ritual that Roy performed on himself was relatively rough because his physical condition was sufficient to resist some of the adverse reactions of the ritual.

However, Heather and Penny are different. They are just ordinary people, so the ritual process needs to be carefully designed and optimized to ensure that they can complete the bloodline fusion ritual more safely.

For this, Heather and Penny rewarded Roy handsomely.

Heather dressed as a nurse, while Penny was dressed as a police officer; the two different uniforms were used to seduce Roy.

I have to say, it's incredibly tempting!

Which cadre could withstand such a test? In any case, Roy immediately transformed into a raging wolf, brutally ravaging the nurse and the policewoman.

Throughout the night, the howling of wolves could be heard at Sawyer Manor, frightening the surrounding animals into trembling fear.

Only Elareza grew increasingly curious.

Elaresa: What game are Daddy and Mommy playing? I want to play too!

However, when Roy returned to town the next day, he had a bad feeling because Samantha stopped him on the way.

Looking at the female police chief, who looked smart and capable in her uniform, with a serious expression on her face, Roy's heart skipped a beat.

Samantha must have found out about his affair with Ashley.

Unfortunately, although Ashley spent a day recuperating at Crystal Lake camp after Roy took her first blood, her wounds hadn't fully healed due to the weapon's size, so she was still limping when she returned to Fallstown.

Ashley made excuses for herself, saying she was injured during a school trip.

But Samantha, an experienced woman, couldn't possibly miss the changes in her daughter's expression and the unusual distance between her legs.

So Samantha specifically sought out Roy.

"Roy, I need to have a serious talk with you."

Feeling Samantha's stern gaze, Roy had no way to refuse.

"Ok."

Samantha got into the passenger seat of Bumblebee. She didn't speak immediately, but took a few deep breaths, as if she was mentally preparing herself.

A moment later, Samantha got straight to the point and asked the question.

"Roy, did you sleep with Ashley?"

Lying at this point is pointless, and Roy isn't the kind of person who lacks responsibility.

"Yes."

Samantha's expression instantly turned somewhat disappointed, then somewhat relieved, but she quickly concealed her emotions.

"Roy, I know Ashley probably initiated this, so I don't blame you. But I hope you can be kinder to Ashley in the future and not hurt her, okay?"

Samantha knows her daughter too well; she knows that once Ashley sets her mind on something, she is incredibly driven.

Even if Roy doesn't take any initiative, Ashley will still deliver the goods to his door.

So Samantha doesn't blame Roy; she blames Ashley for being too similar to herself.

"I definitely won't let Ashley be sad or upset!"

Roy made a promise.

Samantha sighed softly.

Ashley's father died early, leaving her without a father's love from a young age, which is why she became so rebellious. I sincerely hope she can be happy, so sometimes, I hope you can forgive her willfulness.

Upon hearing this, Roy's expression turned somewhat strange, because Ashley was incredibly well-behaved with him, at most she would try to outdo Jennifer.

These two girls seem to have a grudge from a past life, always enjoying competing with each other in every way.

However, after the incident with the Soul Box, the competition between the two became less intense and more healthy.

"Samantha, don't worry." Samantha didn't see the expression on Roy's face, and simply nodded silently.

Then, the atmosphere in the car became a little awkward.

Then, some silicon-based being that couldn't read the air started playing the radio on its own initiative, with that kind of ambiguous, emotional radio music again.

This made the atmosphere in the car even more awkward.

Samantha's face flushed slightly; she couldn't stand the atmosphere and quickly opened the car door.

"Roy, that's all I wanted to say. I hope you and Ashley will be happy in the future!"

After saying that, Samantha hurriedly fled from the bumblebee.

After a moment, Roy glanced sideways at Bumblebee.

"Bumblebee, can you please stop sending out your own power stations in the future?"

"I thought this would improve the atmosphere on site."

"But you always make the atmosphere even more awkward!"

Bumblebee remained silent for a moment before answering.

"Human emotions are just too complicated; I have never been able to understand them."

"Then from now on, you can wait for me to send the signal before you send the radio, okay?"

“Yes, Mr. Blake.”

After negotiating with Bumblebee, Roy went to find Jennifer and Nydy.

Although the school trip ended early, the holiday was not canceled by the school, so there is no need to attend class today.

"Nidi, have you found anything?"

As soon as Roy entered Nidi's room, he saw Nidi sitting in front of the computer with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"I still haven't found any useful information in the cabin's data. There's just too much data, and my computer isn't powerful enough to search very slowly."

Roy felt a pang of sympathy seeing how exhausted Nidi looked.

"Nidi, didn't you sleep last night?"

Upon hearing this, Nidi knew something was wrong.

"I did take a nap, haha."

"Roy, Nidi didn't sleep at all last night, she's been up all night!"

Unfortunately, Jennifer mercilessly exposed Nydy's deception.

This made Roy very angry.

"How can you not be sleeping! Now listen to me, ignore this stupid data and go to sleep right now!"

Nidi stuck out her little tongue, looking like a child caught doing something wrong.

"Roy, I know I was wrong! But I also have some good news to tell you, some discoveries about Silent Hill!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly!"

Nidi opened a special browser and entered the website address.

"I tried searching for the conditions you gave me on the normal internet, but I couldn't find such a place at all, only a few places with similar names. Then I searched for information about Silent Hill on the dark web, and finally found some useful information. Look at this!"

The webpage displayed a news clipping about a fire in a place called Silent Hill that triggered an underground coal mine fire, affecting the entire city and forcing residents to relocate.

Roy remembered that this was mentioned in the background setting of Silent Hill. The snow-like things floating in the surface world of Silent Hill are actually ash from the burning underground coal mines.

This must be the place!
"Nidi, this should be the place. Have you found the exact address?"

"I searched for a lot of information and found that this city is not marked on the map at all! Maybe it can be found in some old paper documents, but not online. However, I still found some useful information!"

Nidi paused here, a smug look on her face, as if she wanted Roy's praise.

Roy, of course, wouldn't refuse to give Nydy a small reward, so he flicked Nydy's little nose.

"Nidi, you're amazing!"

"Hmph! Good thing you know!"

"Give me the answer now, or I'm going to spank you!"

Upon hearing this, Nidi covered her taillights and gave Roy a coquettish glare.

"I searched for information about fires and mass relocations, and finally found that this news came from a city in Maine (previously I wrote Pennsylvania, but I've changed it). The city is called New Centralia. It must be because the residents of the city moved to this new city after the Silent Hill fire!"

Maine? It doesn't seem to be that far from Boston in Massachusetts.

Do you have a detailed map?

"New Centellaia isn't very well-known, but I've found a map, take a look!"

Niddy took a map of Maine out of the drawer, with a circle drawn on it in red, marking the approximate location of New Centrelia.

"I think that even if the residents of Silent Hill were to relocate, they wouldn't move too far away, and there should still be residents of the old Silent Hill in the area, after all, the Silent Hill fire was only twenty years ago."

Roy took the map, glanced at it, and then patted Nidi on the head.

"Well done, Nidi!"

Nidi happily rubbed her hair against Roy's hand, feeling that all the hard work of the night was worth it.

"But you should go to sleep now!"

These words immediately made Nidi's face fall. She was in a state of high excitement and couldn't possibly fall asleep.

"Roy, can you go to sleep later?"

Nidi started to act cute towards Roy, and at that moment Jennifer couldn't help but chime in.

"Nidi, staying up late for a long time will affect your skin. You don't want to get wrinkles early, do you?"

These words were a surefire way to win a girl's heart, and Nidi immediately stopped insisting.

"But I can't sleep right now, Roy, can you hold me while I sleep?"

"of course can!"

So Roy hugged Nydy and lay down on the bed. Neither of them did anything else, just quietly feeling each other's body temperature and breath.

Soon, the excited Nidi calmed down, and her breathing gradually became steady and long.

"He said he couldn't sleep, but he fell asleep in less than ten minutes."

Roy looked at Nydy helplessly, hugged her for a while longer, and only let go of her after she had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Roy, Lilith has something she wants to talk to you about."

"Lilith? Let's talk in your room then."
