American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 261 Someone in Charge
After Roy cleared out all the cultists around them, he led a dumbfounded Zoe into the cathedral.

The scene of Roy's massacre was so shocking that Zoe was stunned for a long time and was completely passively being pulled along by Roy.

Compared to the heavily guarded exterior of the church, the interior seemed to have no defenses at all; Roy walked for several minutes without seeing anyone.

Does this mean that the leaders of the Followers cult have all fled?

Just then, the two arrived at the chapel.

A chapel is usually the largest room in a church, and it is typically where believers worship together.

Here, Roy finally saw someone, a young man with long, flowing blond hair.

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Sullivan stood calmly before a pool of blood, holding a book in one hand and a scepter topped with a large ruby ​​in the other.

Roy looked at Sullivan warily; he had been taken advantage of by the man before and didn't want to suffer the same fate again.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes! Thanks to you, I was able to fulfill the dream I've always wanted to achieve!"

Sullivan's expression suddenly turned incredibly fanatical, and he began to wave his hands wildly, holding the scepter and the book, like a male baboon in heat with albinism.

Roy recalled the story of the game Silent Hill: The Closed Room, and it seemed that Sullivan's dream was to see his mother once.

In Silent Hill, Sullivan is a rather tragic villain. He was abandoned at the door of apartment 302 shortly after birth and never saw his parents.

He was then adopted by an orphanage run by a cult and brainwashed by the cult from a young age.

One person who had a significant influence on Sullivan was Dalia Gilesby, the current Archbishop of the Followers Church.

Gillespie instilled in Sullivan the idea that since his mother, who gave birth to Sullivan, didn't want him, why not worship the Virgin Mary in the church?
Yes, in order to better spread their faith, many of the doctrines and religious forms of the Followers sect are very similar to those of Christianity.

For example, there is an omniscient and omnipotent Red God, a saint (Jennifer) who descended to earth to suffer, and a Mother of God who gave birth to the saint.

Therefore, Sullivan began to personify his mother's image as the Virgin Mary, and regarded Room 302 as one of the incarnations of his mother. His lifelong wish was to complete the sacred Advent ceremony in Room 302.

Of course, this is the storyline in the game, and it will definitely be slightly different in this world, but Sullivan's idea of ​​summoning the Virgin Mary will certainly be the same.

We can't let Sullivan summon the Virgin Mary; who knows what this Virgin Mary is in this world!
Roy immediately rushed towards Sullivan, ready to finish him off quickly.

But at that moment, a giant spider-shaped monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Roy.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a gigantic monster composed of a human head and limbs!

(The puppet spider from the movie Silent Hill 2)
However, compared to the size in the movie, this one is several times larger, about the size of a heavy truck.

Roy quickly pushed off the ground in the opposite direction, successfully dodging the puppet spider's attack.

Such a difficult move can only be accomplished by combining the Ghost Wolf form with Selena Kyle's athletic skills.

"It's no use. You and that girl you brought will both become sacrifices for the Virgin Mary's arrival! Hahaha..."

Sullivan burst into wild laughter.

This guy probably didn't see how Roy killed Pyramid Head while he was at the hotel, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like that.

Roy was startled, which is why he dodged.

After all, even if they really hit the jackpot, they couldn't do anything to Roy, especially since he was a monster whose size was comparable to a heavy truck, but whose weight was definitely much less.

After its savage charge failed, the spider-like puppet circled around and continued charging towards Roy.

"Get out of here!"

Roy kicked the spider puppet into the air, then used his cursed hair to wrap around it and pull it back before kicking it again, just like hitting a yo-yo.

In less than a minute, the puppet spider was kicked to pieces by Roy and lay on the ground, covered in black blood.

[Ding! You have obtained the Fate Chest of the Doll Spider! Open it?]

Another treasure chest of destiny was obtained, which brought a smile to Roy's face, who was originally a little unhappy.

"Is this your backup plan, Walter Sullivan?"

Sullivan, who had been stunned, came to his senses and looked at Roy with an incredulous expression.

"How do you know my name?!"

"Not only do I know your name, but I also know that you are about to die by my hand!"

Roy used the Ghost Wolf's explosive power to appear in front of Sullivan almost in a flash, and used Dark Touch to wrap around the other's neck and lift him up.

"Let's say goodbye to this world!"

Sullivan's eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, as if he had simply accepted reality.

With a snap, Roy used Dark Touch to break Sullivan's neck, thus ending his sinful life.

No treasure chest appeared?

Both Pyramid Head and the Doll Spider dropped treasure chests!
To prevent Sullivan from still being dead, Roy took out his chainsaw sword, dismembered Sullivan, and kicked him into the pool of blood, but still failed to obtain the treasure chest.

It seems there won't be any treasure chests to get. I guess this guy isn't popular enough, so he doesn't have a special character status.

Sullivan dropped his scepter and book to the ground, and Roy picked up the two trophies.

The book was actually the classics of the Followers' Cult. Roy casually flipped through a couple of pages and then threw it into the blood pool. It was worthless.

However, the scepter inlaid with a huge ruby ​​exuded a faint evil aura, suggesting it was some kind of magical artifact.

Moreover, such a large ruby ​​should be worth a lot of money if sold.

"Roy, are you okay?"

Zoe didn't come over until the battle was over; she had been crouching in the corner observing the fight the whole time.

"Ha! What could be wrong with me? Let's go, let's search this church."

With Roy's current stats, ordinary monsters are no match for him. Only high-ranking demons or angels with eight wings or more can pose a threat to him.

Just as I was about to take Zoe to the church backyard, I suddenly heard some strange noises, like the sound of liquid boiling.

"Roy, is there some strange noise?"

"There was definitely a sound."

The only place on site that could possibly produce the sound of boiling liquid is the blood pool in the center of the chapel.

Roy and Zoe turned around and saw a huge white figure emerge from the pool of blood.

Watfak?

All I did was throw Sullivan's body and a book into the pool of blood. How could there be such a commotion?
Looking up, a huge monster with rotting white skin appeared in the sky above the chapel. It looked somewhat like Sullivan and was being pulled by something like an umbilical cord.

(Sullivan's summons)

The domes of chapels are usually very high; the dome of New Centellaia is about thirty meters high, which is just right for the white monster to block.

This size is absolutely enormous!
Zoe stared in disbelief at the enormous white monster, her body beginning to tremble.

"This, is this the Holy Mother that guy was talking about?"

Roy shielded Zoe behind him, frowning slightly. "Heh! The Holy Mother? If the King of Wrath truly had a Holy Mother, it could only be Lilith. I think this thing must be a manifestation of Sullivan's failed ritual."

Many of the monsters in Silent Hill are actually manifestations of the protagonist's mind, so killing monsters is not recommended in the game, as killing too many will lead to a bad ending.

The enormous white monster roared at Roy, its pale face filled with hatred.

This guy clearly does possess Sullivan's memories, hence his hatred for Roy, who caused his defeat.

"Zoe, step back!"

Just as Roy was about to transform, he suddenly heard a clear, cold female voice coming from the chapel entrance.

"God said: Let all that is unclean be condemned to eternal damnation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pool of blood beneath the white monster transformed into a bottomless pit engulfed in flames, from which a dozen metal chains extended to bind the white monster and pull it downwards.

The white monster struggled desperately, but it was unable to resist the power of the metal chains. After struggling for a few minutes, it was pulled down.

Why are there still K-heads?

Roy looked toward the chapel entrance and sure enough, he saw a woman dressed in a fitted white nun's habit with her eyes covered by a black cloth.

"Ms. Elise."

Elise nodded slightly to Roy, then glanced at Zoe beside him.

The angel of wisdom immediately recognized Zoe as a witch, but she didn't say anything more.

After all, if Roy, a half-demon, was spared by Elise, then a little witch would be even more forgivable.

“I never expected to see you here, Mr. Blake.”

"I didn't expect that either."

Elise looked around but couldn't find the person she had fought with earlier, which made her a little strange.

"Mr. Blake, have you finished cleaning up all the sinners here?"

"No, I think that cult leader probably fled to a place called Silent Hill."

"That's impossible! The FEA has sealed off this area; that guy couldn't have left!"

“Ms. Elise, the Silent Hill I’m talking about is an alternate dimension that doesn’t exist in this world. I think there must be a passage to that alternate dimension here, and I’m currently looking for that passage.”

Once Roy explained it that way, Elise understood.

"I see. Then I'll go find that passage."

As she spoke, Elise's eyes began to glow faintly.

Zoe, who was behind Roy, was very curious about Elise's identity because she rarely saw Roy speak to someone so politely, so she tugged at Roy's sleeve.

"Roy, who is she?"

"Sister Iris, Uriel's human form."

Roy whispered an explanation, which immediately shattered Zoe's worldview.

Zoe definitely knows Uriel, one of the four famous archangels.

It has to be said that Zoe's worldview has been shattered beyond repair today.

"Roy, Roy, aren't the angels giving you trouble?"

Zoe stammered as she questioned Roy, worried that he might be punished by Uriel because she had already seen his demon form.

"Don't be afraid! I have connections!"

Upon hearing this, Zoe immediately gave Roy an expression of admiration.

At this point, Elise had almost finished observing the past and future through the Eye of God.

“Mr. Black, I have found the passage. Please follow me.”

Having Elise around makes things much easier; if Roy were to search on his own, it would probably take him ages to find her.

The angel of wisdom led Roy into the backyard and into an office.

There was a locked side door in the office, and Elise stopped in front of it.

"This is the door."

"This door? Does it require a key to open?"

Elise shook her head.

"This door can only be opened with the evil power of the King of Wrath, and that power is in your hands."

In hand?

At this moment, Roy held Zoe's hand in one hand and Sullivan's ruby ​​scepter in the other. Could it be this scepter?

Holding the scepter, I walked to the side door, and sure enough, the ruby ​​at the top of the scepter emitted a faint red light.

Roy tapped the side door with his scepter, and the door opened automatically.

Behind the door lies the Silent Hill world, shrouded in endless fog and ash.

On the other side, Gilesby, sitting on the bishop's throne in the old Silent Hill church, opened his eyes.

"Has Sullivan failed? Was it done by that angel? I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

Gilesby gazed at the church's high dome and fell into deep thought.

Previously, when returning to Silent Hill, Gilesby had already modified the location of the spatial portal, so Roy and his group would not appear at the old church immediately, but would be in another corner of the city, near Silent Hill Hospital.

That was also where Gilesby's daughter, Alessa, was hiding.

"It seems time is running out. Should we use the backup plan?"

Gilesby hesitated.

Although Carrie's talent and bloodline are both exceptional, she is not Gilesby's daughter, and their powers cannot be perfectly compatible.

As she was pondering, Gilesby suddenly sensed that the trap magic she had set had been triggered, and she couldn't help but sneer.

In the old church, only one person had the courage to do this.

"Wolf, did you still make this choice?"

In the underground cell, Leonard Wolf was sweating profusely as he tried to decipher the magic set up by Gilesby. He was far inferior to Gilesby in magical skill, otherwise he would not have lost in the power struggle within the cult back then.

Fortunately, there was a powerful witch in the prison, Wendy, who died three hundred years ago and has recently been resurrected.

Wendy's ability to escape from the clutches of the High Priestess Ophelia so many times speaks volumes about her strength. She might be slightly weaker than Gillespie, but she's definitely stronger than Wolf.

Gilesby already possessed power approaching that of the Supreme Witch, and with the addition of some divine power from the Wrathful King, she was practically at the pinnacle of combat power in the human world.

Finally, with Wendy's guidance, Wolf broke the spell set by Gilesby and opened the cell door.
