American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 295 Your father is still your father
Inside the banquet hall, Heather, Serena, and Trillin did indeed stay in the banquet hall and wait for Roy, just as Roy had said.

But plans never keep up with changes. The three women had only been waiting in the banquet hall for a short time when the corpses on the ground stood up.

"How is this going?"

Heather frowned as she began to clear away the corpses, but even when they were knocked down, the corpses would reassemble and stand up again, keeping her constantly on her toes.

Serena and Trilin were both ordinary people, and they had no ability to resist the constantly appearing undead.

Moreover, the number of undead is constantly increasing, and Heather is only one person, which is a huge disadvantage in fighting in such an open space as the banquet hall.

As a result, the three women had to retreat into a much narrower corridor, fighting as they retreated, in order to barely hold off the undead's offensive.

Finally, Heather and the others retreated to the lower deck of the cruise ship, where there was a huge swimming pool, but the pool had long since dried up, and the bottom was piled with countless corpses.

After Heather and the others arrived, the corpses began to stand up.

The three women had no choice but to continue their escape.

"Damn it! I should have learned how to use a gun from Roy!"

Heather's expression was very unpleasant. She had only learned some fighting skills from Roy and was still completely ignorant about firearms, so she hadn't brought a gun with her.

If Heather had had a gun, even a pistol, the situation would have been much better.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, so Heather could only secretly resolve to learn how to use a gun when she got back.

Heather and her companions fought their way back, and ended up retreating further and further down until they unknowingly arrived at a place that resembled a treasure vault.

Upon entering the room, Cui Lin's eyes widened in surprise, for the room was filled with gold bricks and jewels, all radiating a dazzling light.

"so beautiful!"

At the top of the pile of jewels was a huge black diamond, which possessed a special magic that drew Cui Lin toward it.

"Cui Lin, what are you doing!"

Neither Heather nor Serena were tempted by the treasure; neither of them lacked money and did not place much importance on it.

However, the tempted Trillin's power became unusually strong, and even Heather couldn't stop her for a moment, allowing her to pick up the huge black diamond on the pile of treasure.

Then, Cui Lin lowered his head.

Heather, who was holding Cui Lin's wrist, sensed that something was wrong, so she asked him in an uncertain tone.

"Cui Lin, are you alright?"

With her head bowed, Tracy answered Heather in a voice that was neither clearly male nor female.

"Hehehe, I feel great, really great!"

Something is wrong!
Heather immediately released Trillin's hand and pulled Serena back.

Serena, unaware of the gravity of the situation, curiously asked Heather.

Why has Cui Lin's voice become so strange?

"She's possessed by something!"

Heather's expression was grim. After all, she had been through so many events with Roy and had gained some understanding of supernatural phenomena.

Although Heather knew what was going on, she had no solution. Ghost Wolf, though a combination of werewolf and vampire, only possessed physical abilities and had no other supernatural powers.

This makes dealing with special dark creatures, such as ghosts or other enemies without physical form, more difficult.

At this moment, the corpses that had stood up in the swimming pool were slowly moving towards the treasure vault. These things were not actually moving very fast, which is why Heather and the others were able to escape here.

If they escape the vault now, Heather and Serena can still get away before the undead surround them. However, Trilin's situation is very strange, and Heather doesn't know what to do.

Cui Lin turned around, her beautiful face now covered with dense black lines, and only the whites of her eyes remained—all very typical signs of being possessed by an evil spirit.

Are you leaving? Why don't you stay?

Trilin extended his hand to Heather and Serena.

"Come on!"

Without hesitation, Heather grabbed Serena and ran outside, quickly defeating the undead blocking their way with a few punches and kicks.

"Stay! Stay! Stay!"

Heather and Serena seemed to hear countless people speaking in their ears, men and women, young and old, but all saying the same thing.

"Noisy!"

Serena could hardly bear it and could only cover her ears.

"Serena, don't stop, keep running!"

Heather still needed to fight, so she had no choice but to endure the ear-piercing noise.

The two eventually managed to escape the treasure vault. Cui Lin, who was standing next to the treasure, did not chase after them. Instead, he stood there, emitting an evil laugh and muttering to himself.

"You can't escape! No one can leave Antonia Graza!"

Heather and Serena fought their way out and soon arrived at the location of the indoor swimming pool they had visited before.

While running along the edge of the pool, Serena was suddenly grabbed by the ankle by a hand that reached out from the pool.

"Heather, help..."

Before she could finish speaking, Serena had already been pulled into the swimming pool.

Heather turned around to grab Serena, only to find that there was no one in the swimming pool.

Serena, where are you!

This situation is very similar to when they first separated, and Heather suspects that Serena has entered some other dimension again.

Just as Heather was extremely anxious, a force attacked from behind.

Heather, who possesses the bloodline of the Ghost Wolf, reacted very quickly, dodging the sneak attack from behind with a sidestep, but another pair of hands reached out from the swimming pool and grabbed her ankles.

Heather was not Serena after all; even with both hands grabbing her ankles at the same time, she still managed to maintain her balance and not fall.

However, more and more undead rushed towards Heather. Heather was grabbed by the ankle and could not move, so she could only stand still to resist the undead.

In the end, one fist is no match for four hands, and Heather was pushed into the swimming pool by countless undead.

With a splash, the expected pain didn't occur; instead, it felt like falling into the water.

Heather instinctively held her breath, realizing she seemed to have fallen into a dark ocean, and she tried to swim upwards to reach the surface.

However, Heather swam for a long time but could not reach the surface.

Although Heather's lung capacity is far beyond that of ordinary people, there is still a limit to how long she can hold her breath.

After swimming for more than ten minutes, Heather felt that she was about to burst.

Is it really over?

Heather's vision grew darker and narrower. Finally, Heather was exhausted, and she began to slowly sink.

In the dim light, Heather seemed to see a hand filled with shimmering white light pulling her back.

"Heather, are you alright?"

Roy's voice gradually brought Heather back to her senses; it turned out that the hand that had been emitting white light was his hand.

With the help of the traitor Francesca, Roy entered the alternate dimension and forcibly pulled Heather out.

Serena was also nearby; she appeared to have been dragged into the underwater world like Heather and was lying unconscious on the ground.

Heather took a few quick breaths; for the first time, she felt the air was so wonderful that she almost suffocated.

"I'm...I'm fine! How's Serena?"

"She's passed out. There wasn't actually seawater in the space you entered; it was a sensory illusion that made you think you were suffocating. Heather, have you seen Trillin?"

Heather looked up and noticed Joey standing next to Roy, while not far away, two women in white dresses and a woman in a red dress were harvesting the dead.

Heather knew the two women in white dresses; she had seen Sadako and Kayako before, but she had never seen the woman in the red dress before.

Could it be the new female ghost that Roy caught on the ship?

"Cui Lin picked up a black diamond in a treasure vault, and then she was possessed by something!"

Black diamonds?
Upon hearing this keyword, Roy immediately thought of the cursed diamond that Francesca had mentioned before.

"Where is the treasure vault? Take me there quickly!"

Heather nodded and took Roy's hand to stand up.

Although Roy said that the seawater in that alternate dimension was all an illusion, Heather's reaction after suffocating was so real that she still hasn't fully recovered.

Upon returning to the treasury, Heather saw Trillin sitting like a queen on a throne made of gold bricks, holding the enormous black diamond in her hand.

"I knew you would come back. What's wrong with this place? Why did you leave?"

Cui Lin's face was full of intoxication, and his eyes were full of greed, making Roy wonder if this guy was possessed or just speaking his mind.

"Francesca, what's going on?"

Roy looked at the woman in the red dress beside him; she was a local and should know the situation better.

“Antonia Graza is an aggregate of thousands of evil spirits. When they merge together, they become extremely chaotic, and their thinking becomes very simple and direct, only responding to external information in a simple way.”

Once Francesca explained, Roy understood.

This situation likely occurs when souls gather together, each with different thoughts, causing the aggregate of souls to become overwhelmed and sluggish.

The reason Trilin is behaving this way is likely because Antonia Graza has just possessed her and hasn't yet been able to merge with Trilin's soul. Her own thinking is slow, so she is being dominated by Trilin's thoughts.

It was only because of Antonia Graza that the evil in Trilin's heart was amplified, which led to his current state.

“Very good. Antonia Graza should not have had time to devour Trilin’s soul yet. We just need to expel it from Trilin’s body.”

Francesca was about to ask Roy how to expel the aggregate of souls that had merged with thousands of wronged spirits from Trilin's body when she saw Sadako and Kayako flee back into the cursed daggers as if they were fleeing a disaster.

Then, six wings of light sprouted from Roy's back.

"what--"

The power of the holy light merely shone upon Francesca's spirit, yet it caused her unbearable pain; this natural restraint is especially evident against evil spirits.

Because evil spirits have no physical body to block the holy light, the holy light can directly burn their souls.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you to get back into the revolver. Come on in!"

Francesca really wanted to ask Roy how he could be an angel, but the power of the holy light was too much for her to bear. She could only crawl inside the revolver first and ask Roy about it later.

The holy light also caused great harm to Trilin; black energy, the resentment of Antonia Graza, was rising from her body.

However, under the protection of Cui Lin's body, much of the damage from the holy light was blocked.

"Angel! Damn angel! I'll tear you to pieces!"

Cui Lin is incredibly arrogant now, even wanting to challenge Roy in his angel form.

Roy sneered, then raised his hand and aimed at Cui Lin.

"Trelin, you should know that your father is still your father! Don't think that you can defeat me just because you control Antonia Graza's power!"

These words seemed to remind Cui Lin of some unpleasant things, and her expression softened slightly, but soon her arrogant expression returned.

"Even if you are an angel, you won't defeat me here! Die!"

A burst of black energy emanated from Cui Lin's body, quickly enveloping the entire treasure vault.

In the blink of an eye, Roy found himself floating on the sea, with a huge cruise ship crashing into him.

To be honest, the scene was quite shocking.

Roy's size floating in front of the cruise ship is like a person standing in front of a mountain. How terrifying would it be if a mountain were to crash into you?
However, Roy knew that all of this was an evil spirit space created by Antonia Graza using the power of souls after merging with countless wronged souls.

In this situation, apart from having the mole Francesca take him away, he had no choice but to confront Antonia Grassa head-on.

Let's meet head-on!
I even defeated the King of Wrath, why would I be afraid of a mere aggregate of vengeful spirits like you?

Wings of Light, unfold!

Roy's wings of light became even more dazzling and enormous, enveloping him in holy light, making him shine like a small sun, as he head-on confronted Antonia Graza who was crashing into him.

boom!
A violent collision, like Mars hitting Earth!

The evil spirit realm could not withstand such a terrifying collision and collapsed on the spot!

As a result, Roy remained unmoved, radiating dazzling light, while Antonia Grassa was directly knocked out of Trillin's body.

After the aggregate of vengeful spirits left his body, Cui Lin's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, the cursed diamond Eye of the Dead rolling to the ground in his hand.

"This is impossible! Ah!"

The aggregate of vengeful spirits was a mass of gray mist, within which many different faces could be seen tumbling and twisting.

However, after losing Trilin's body, the Holy Light's damage to Antonia Grassa was greatly amplified, and the guy could be seen melting away at a visible rate.

Antonia Graza had always reigned supreme at sea and had never seen much of the world. Even when he encountered Roy, the six-winged angel, he remained extremely arrogant and even tried to rebel against the Heavenly Gang and kill Roy under the influence of Trilin.

Now, having taken a punch, Antonia Graza has finally come to its senses, and all it wants to do now is get away from Roy and hide.

So, this thing just crawled into the exhaust vent and escaped.

"Want to run? Dreaming!"
