American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 269 Thank you, ex-husband!
The Silent Hill incident has now come to an end.

The impact of this incident was quite significant, at least it made the federal government realize the harmfulness of the shoe cult.

It's one thing if fake shoe gurus just scam people out of money, but those real shoe gurus really know how to pull off some serious stunts!

In other words, Novo Centella is just a remote small city with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, which is why it did not have a significant impact.

As a result, the FEA launched a nationwide purge of shoe education organizations, eliminating fake shoe education groups and reaping huge financial benefits.

The real shoe cult didn't manage to take down many of them. These organizations reacted very quickly, abandoning their external forces and going underground to become true secret societies.

Iris's severed arm was completely restored to its original state through Raphael's music, as was Claudia's.

Raphael's healing abilities can even affect silicon-based life forms; he truly deserves the title of Healing Angel.

Elise and Raphael left quickly; they had many things to do.

Misty and Wendy learned from Roy that Ophelia had gone into hiding and dared not show herself, so they also said goodbye and wanted to find a quiet place to live in seclusion.

Roy was impressed with the two witches and suggested they go into seclusion near Texas, away from the East Coast.

Misty and Wendy agreed, but they weren't used to modern transportation, so it would probably be the second half of the year before they arrived at the South Coast.

So Roy left their contact information and gave them a cell phone so they could stay in touch.

As an aside, both the blonde policewoman and Rose survived, and Rose also found another daughter, Sherry, which was a compensation that Alessa had left for her in advance.

What happened after that was none of Roy's business; he was now celebrating this great victory with the little witches.

As for how to celebrate, of course we'll throw a unique silver party!
The four witches of the Apocalypse Society gathered together, each dressed in revealing school uniforms, and made a practical contribution to environmental protection and the prevention of the greenhouse effect.

Carrie was actually extremely uncomfortable with these kinds of parties, but since she was the star of the night, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Fortunately, the other three little witches were very friendly, but they seemed to be trying to match Carrie and Roy together, which made Carrie feel a little uneasy.

If you were to ask whether Carrie had feelings for Roy, the answer would definitely be yes.

After all, Roy's charm alone was enough to make girls swoon, not to mention that Roy had appeared in Carrie's dreams several times to help her.

However, Carrie's inferiority complex made her unable to believe that she could be with the man of her dreams.

Roy saw through Carrie's mindset. This girl was truly different from the other little witches of the Apocalypse Society, and even from most of the America girls. She was more like Nydy in personality.

But Carrie was even more insecure than Neddy, because she had always been very ordinary and had no particular talent.

Nidi is at least good at electronics and mechanics, and she's also quite daring and aggressive when surfing the internet.

So Roy took the initiative and hugged Carrie, who immediately blushed as red as a persimmon.

Madison immediately started jeering, followed closely by Maria. With these two jeering, Carrie's face immediately started steaming, as if she were about to burst into flames.

Seeing this, Roy quickly stopped Madison and Maria from egging them on.

"That's enough! Give Carrie and me some privacy, this is her first time!"

Upon hearing this, Madison rolled his eyes.

"How could it be the first time... mmm!"

Zoe covered Madison's mouth and backed away; this girl was better at reading the room than Madison, who was a former child star.

"Roy, you two take your time. I'm going out for drinks with the others first! Come find us after Carrie's done!"

As she spoke, Zoe forcefully pulled Madison and Maria out, giving Roy a wink before leaving.

The room fell silent, but Carrie's blush didn't fade; instead, it turned a deep, almost purplish red.

Roy thought Carrie was having health problems, so he quickly let go of her to check her body. Unexpectedly, Carrie suddenly rolled her eyes and then her body trembled violently.

The room was instantly filled with the scent of the sea.

[Ding! You have obtained Carrie's Conquest Treasure Chest! Open it?]

Roy opened his mouth, completely unprepared for this situation. Wasn't this being far too sensitive?

If they're this irritated by just touching and hugging, what will happen when it's real?

With no other option, Roy could only carry Carrie to the bed to let her calm down.

At that moment, Roy heard Carrie's voice, which sounded like she was talking in her sleep.

"Roy, am I still dreaming?"

Seeing Carrie's dazed expression, Roy touched her hair.

"No, you're not dreaming right now, this is the real world."

Carrie buried her head in Roy's chest and rubbed against him.

"Even if it's a dream, I hope I never wake up from this dream!"

Roy kissed Carrie on the forehead.

"Our beautiful dream will never end, so you don't need to worry!"

"Ok!"

Carrie put her arm around Roy's waist and closed her eyes, the meaning of which was very clear.

Roy was unusually gentle today, after all, Carrie had already suffered too much, and Roy didn't want her to feel pain anymore.

But that was something she couldn't escape in the end, so Carrie still frowned.

Fortunately, Carrie's resilience had been tested by fate and become incredibly strong, but she still shed tears—tears of happiness.

Carrie is really sensitive, perhaps because she is just like her inner self, easily hurt and easily moved.

So, under Roy's gentle care, Carrie kept rolling her eyes and never came down from her cloud.

The cannons fired in bursts, creating a feeling of being flooded.

Roy really wanted to call Carrie a dragon king and tell her to stop her magic immediately, or her Madison property would be flooded and she'd be helpless.

"what--"

Fortunately, Carrie lost consciousness after the final high-pressure water jet shot straight to the ceiling.

Roy quickly wrapped Carrie's body in the still-dry blanket to prevent her from catching a cold from the dampness.

However, this was the first time Roy had ever obtained both the Destiny Chest and the Conquest Chest from the same person, which was quite rare.

After leaving the bedroom, Roy noticed the three little witches drinking and excitedly discussing something.

"What are you all discussing that makes you so happy?"

Upon seeing Roy emerge, Madison jumped up and hugged Roy, answering him in a drunken voice.

"Hehe! We were just chatting about the tradition of starting a new chapter!"

This made Roy a little strange.

"Tradition? What tradition?"

Maria answered Roy's question on Madison's behalf.

Madison said that from now on, any witch who wants to join the Apocalypse Society will have to pass your test before she can be admitted.

Roy smirked and patted Madison's taillights in annoyance.

"What kind of ridiculous traditions are these!"

Madison looked up and gave a particularly strange smile.

"Breaking with tradition? But I feel like the mast is already..."

Madison, that girl, always speaks the truth, which makes Roy very embarrassed.

"That's a natural reaction because you're rubbing against me! It has nothing to do with tradition!"

Madison winked at Roy and licked his lips.

"Should I thank you for the compliment?" The provocative look in his eyes was so strong that Roy was "enraged" on the spot and pressed the man down onto the sofa.

"You bitch, I'm going to punish you!"

Tonight's Akina Mountain downhill race features three high-performance sports cars. The first one is the Madison, which has a fast start but average cornering speed and insufficient range.

Before even entering the five consecutive hairpin turns, Madison suffered a hydraulic cylinder problem due to excessive initial acceleration, resulting in a large-scale oil leak and its withdrawal from the race.

The second vehicle was the Zoe, which had well-balanced performance in all aspects but had serious safety hazards.

The Zoe's balance is indeed excellent, smoothly navigating the relatively simple initial track and entering the five consecutive hairpin bends.

However, due to the driver's rough driving style, the Zoe's water tank malfunctioned during the final sprint, and boiling water sprayed everywhere, like a showerhead.

The last racing car to compete was the Maria, which had a hidden engine on its rear.

Because the Maria has another engine, the Alan, its range is incredibly impressive when used alternately; it can even withstand the entire journey if the driver stands up and pedals the whole time.

Whether it was the opening track, the five consecutive hairpin bends, or the final straight sprint, the sisters Maria and Alan persevered and emerged victorious.

The winner's reward is Roy's holy water.

However, Roy did not forget the other two hard-working contestants, aiming to give them equal treatment, although the largest portion was given to the winner, Maria.

Roy wiped his sweat. The weather was already a bit hot in May, but Roy didn't turn on the air conditioning, mainly because he was afraid the girls would catch a cold.

However, seeing the happy expressions on the faces of the four witches from the Apocalypse Society, Roy felt that his hard work had been worthwhile.

After petting the four America Shorthair cats, who were a little sticky from the rain, Roy was ready to open the box.

Roy currently has six unopened treasure chests, and none of them are ordinary chests. Roy has a feeling that he might have a huge loot box tonight.

First up is Pyramid Head's Treasure Chest.

[Opening Pyramid Head's Chest of Destiny...]

【Gain 3 Strength Attribute Points! 】

【Gain 4 Constitution attribute point! 】

[Obtain the Great Knife!]

It dropped! I got something from my very first treasure chest!
[Executioner's Blade: A melee weapon from Pyramid Head in Silent Hill. Each execution increases the blade's strength and power.]

Roy took out the execution knife from his inventory. The long knife looked like an extended version of a boning knife, with a blade a full 1.5 meters long, and it looked very frightening.

It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to even pick up this knife; only someone with sufficient strength could wield this weapon.

When Roy wielded this knife, he gained a special ability called execution. Only by killing a living being with this ability could he enhance the power of the execution knife.

Not bad, not bad. It just so happens that Roy's chainsaw sword is broken. Raphael's ability can revive Carrie and heal Elise and Claudia, but he can't repair the chainsaw sword.

This executioner's blade, with its ability to grow, can perfectly fill this gap.

Next up is the Doll Spider's Treasure Chest.

[Opening the treasure chest of destiny for the doll spider...]

【Gain 2 Strength Attribute Points! 】

[Gain 3 agility attribute point! ]

[Obtain the Magical Doll!]

A magical doll? Did they just dismantle the doll-like spider?
[The Mystic Doll: The essence condensed after the doll-like spider killed countless lives, containing terrifying resentment and possessing flesh and blood like a real life. However, the doll is still just a doll; it is not a true life.]

It contains terrifying resentment, which means it has a certain magical foundation and flesh and blood like a real living being, which means it can be possessed.

This thing seems quite suitable as a temporary body for Lilith.
Roy took out the magical doll from his inventory. The doll looked similar to the mannequins in the store, but its surface texture was just like a real person's, even better than most people's skin.

Keep it for now, and show it to Lilith when we get back to Waterfall Town.

Next, something rather outrageous happened: Claudia's Conquest Chest.

[Opening Claudia's Conquest Chest...]

[Gain 3 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 2 Constitution attribute point! 】

[The Spark has been obtained!]

Wow! They actually activated the AllSpark directly?
[The AllSpark: The special energy used by Primus to create the Transformers. Alpha Titanium created an indestructible container to hold the AllSpark, allowing this energy to be carried. It can create new silicon-based life!]

Roy didn't dare take out the AllSpark, partly because Bumblebee and Claudia were outside the villa, and it would be difficult to explain if he took it out.

On the other hand, if this thing were used to turn all the household appliances in a villa into silicon-based life forms, that would also be a good thing.

This is a good thing, but unfortunately it's not useful for now. Roy can only use it to trade with Optimus Prime when Optimus Prime comes to Earth.

Great! We've opened three treasure chests in a row and gotten something. Tonight is definitely going to be a night of plenty.

[Opening Carrie's Treasure Chest of Destiny...]

【Gain 2 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 spiritual attribute point! 】

[Obtained the Fragment of Original Sin (Wrath)!]

Another fragment of original sin. With this, Roy now has three fragments of original sin, but he still doesn't know how to use them and they can only sit in his inventory gathering dust.

Roy opened the second Carrie's chest as well, leaving the most important Samael's chest for last.

[Opening Carrie's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 1 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 1 spiritual attribute point! 】

Sure enough, Carrie's second treasure chest yielded nothing, and she also lost half of her attribute points.

The main event is here: the treasure chest of fate belonging to the King of Wrath, one of the seven demon kings of hell!

[The Treasure Chest of Fate is currently in Samael...]

[Gain 10 Strength attribute points!]

[Gain 10 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 10 Constitution attribute point! 】

[Gain the special ability Blood Frenzy!]

As expected of my ex-husband, he was very generous, giving me 30 points in physical attributes and a special ability.

Just as Roy was about to check the attributes of this new special ability, he heard a new system notification.

[The special abilities Berserk and Blood Frenzy merge into Blood Fury!]

The new ability merged with the old ability as soon as it was unlocked?

However, the Berserk ability did indeed originate from the followers of the King of Wrath, and the two abilities do belong to the same series, so it's not surprising that they can be fused together.

Blood Rage: Burns the blood in your body, entering a terrifying state of rage.

Passive ability: can absorb blood to restore its own condition, and can manipulate blood to fight.

Active ability: Instantly removes control effects from the user and inflicts a bleeding state on all nearby enemies. The user gains a power boost by burning their own blood; the strength of the power boost depends on the damage received—the more severe the injury, the greater the power boost.

Wow! This ability looks so much like the Berserker's skill in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online)?
So Samael is actually a red dog? That's quite a fitting description!
