American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 299 Older Man and Younger Woman
Roy, who was dragged into the deep sea, did not get any better off because of Michael's sword.

Kraken was swimming so fast that Roy had already reached a depth of thousands of meters underwater in the blink of an eye.

It's worth noting that the world record for freediving (a sport where you dive without equipment or oxygen tanks, using only your body) is only 113 meters. Roy has now broken that record more than tenfold.

Even though Roy's constitution attribute had reached 119 with the boost from his demon form, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Roy had to make a choice quickly: whether to continue fighting the Kraken or immediately break free from its body and return to the surface.

Kraken was still diving frantically, and Roy didn't have much time to think.

Killing the Kraken will take a considerable amount of time; by then, Roy will probably have been dragged to an unknown depth at the bottom of the ocean.

Even if Roy manages to kill Kraken, he probably won't be able to return to the surface.

After figuring it out, Roy immediately swam out along the cut Michael had made with the Sword of Heaven.

Kraken seemed to be waiting for Roy to emerge from its body, and countless tentacles immediately coiled towards him.

In the deep sea, Roy's movements were severely restricted, and even with his expert-level water sports skills, he could not escape the Kraken's tentacles.

Kraken is fighting desperately now, knowing that if it doesn't kill Roy this time, it will never have another chance.

The realm of fear unfolds!

The realm of desire unfolds!

The dual-domain effect is outstanding!

Despite its seemingly unintelligent appearance, the Kraken, as a legendary creature that has lived since ancient times, certainly possesses intelligence that meets the minimum requirements of the fear realm.

As for the realm of desire, animals naturally have desires as well, and their desires are even harder to control than those of humans.

The problem is that Roy is currently at a depth of nearly two thousand meters underwater, and even with his expert-level water sports skills, he won't be able to swim to the surface anytime soon.

So when Roy swam desperately to a spot where he could see the sunlight approaching the surface, Kraken caught up with him again.

Just a few hundred meters away, Roy would have been able to break free of the water and fly away on his wings, at which point Kraken would have been unable to entangle him.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The Dark Touch and the Hell Executioner's Blade were swung wildly, but they could not stop the Kraken's tentacles.

As the struggle continued, Roy's lungs ran out of oxygen, and his movements became increasingly sluggish.

Ultimately, Roy was exhausted and entangled by the Kraken's tentacles, and was then dragged further into the deep sea.

Damn it! So close!

Seemingly sensing Roy's unwillingness, the Eye of Death hanging around his neck emitted a faint glow in the dark seabed.

In an instant, Roy's vision once again entered a gray field of vision similar to that he had experienced during his last battle with Samael.

Has the Grim Reaper's Eye been activated again?

Roy had no time to think about why the Eye of Death was activated; his vision was shrinking due to oxygen deprivation in his brain.

We must find Kraken's Achilles' heel as soon as possible!

Fortunately, Kraken is much weaker than the Wrathful King, so its weakness is very obvious and doesn't require special searching, nor can it be moved.

Roy instantly reverted to his demon form, transforming into Nephilim, and then a gray light began to gather in his eyes.

Chaos Beam!

The gray beam of light pierced through the tentacles, striking Kraken's vital point.

Instantly, Kraken's entire body froze.

Immediately, the enormous, mountain-like body began to crumble and disintegrate, its flesh and internal organs scattering everywhere, covering an area of ​​several kilometers in radius.

[Ding! You have obtained the Kraken's Treasure Chest of Fate! Open it?]

Kraken was finally taken down, but Roy was also exhausted and had no strength left to swim upstream. He was also nearing the limit of holding his breath.

In his final moments of lucidity, Roy used his Nephilim form's energy manifestation ability to create a gray shell that pushed the seawater away.

Using this gray shell, Roy was able to float slowly upwards.

Roy's exceptional physical attributes and super self-healing ability prevented his body from dying immediately, but his consciousness had already fallen into a coma.

On the speedboat, Roy's women all looked worried.

Finnegan approached Heather and Penny.

"Ladies, we can't wait any longer, we've been waiting for three days already!"

Joey had already fixed the engine, but the women insisted on waiting for Roy to return, so the others had no choice but to wait in the waters near the ghost ship.

This wait lasted for three days.

The ghost ship Antonia Graza had long been cut in two by Michael with the Sword of Heaven and sunk without leaving a trace on the sea.

There was no food left on the speedboat. The only reason everyone had survived these three days was because Finnegan and Charles knew how to fish.

But by the third day, the speedboat had run out of fresh water.

Food can be barely managed through sea fishing, but fresh water is completely unavailable. There's no sign of rain at sea these past two days, and continuing to wait here will only lead to everyone dying of thirst.

The youngest, Cici, was already feeling unwell, but thankfully there was some medicine available on the ship.

Heather stared at the cursed daggers in her hand and fell silent. She knew Roy was not dead because she had confirmed it with Sadako and Kayako.

Sadako and Kayako both signed contracts with Roy. If Roy dies, the contracts on the two female ghosts will be automatically broken.

So far, the contracts between Sadako and Kayako remain stable.

Dalia looked at Heather and Penny hesitantly. Although she loved Roy very much, she also loved her daughter. Seeing Ceci growing weaker and weaker due to lack of food and fresh water, her heart began to waver.

"Heather, shall we head out now? Everyone's getting really tired!"

At this point, Charles made a suggestion.

“I think Ms. O’Connor is absolutely right! In fact, we could go back ashore first, find a professional salvage company to search for Roy, and while we're at it, try to salvage the Antonia Grassa. What do you think?”

Charles's proposal was approved by the majority, leaving only Heather and Penny.

Penny tugged at Heather's arm; the situation on the ship was now very clear.

Heather sighed, but ultimately agreed.

"Alright! Finnigan, have you recorded the coordinates here?"

"Of course! How could I possibly forget to record the coordinates!"

"Mr. Charles, do you know any safe salvage companies?"

Charles nodded quickly.

"I happen to know a salvage company; I can help you contact them when I get back!"

"Then let's head back now."

Finnigan and Joey quickly started the speedboat and began heading towards the nearest land.

A few days later, a giant oil tanker passed through this area.

The structure of an oil tanker is quite different from that of a normal ship. It is more like a sand-carrying vessel that travels on a river. The hull is generally quite long, and there are almost no buildings on the deck. Usually, the cabins are at the stern, and there is a crane at the bow.

(North Pioneer)

This design is intended to store oil as safely as possible, while also facilitating its storage and transportation. At this moment, a young, beautiful, and curvaceous woman is leaning against the railing on the deck of this giant cruise ship, gazing at the calm sea.

The woman was dressed in a glamorous dress that was completely out of place on the oil tanker, and her expression was not very happy, as if she had something on her mind.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked over.

This middle-aged man looks very wealthy and his demeanor clearly indicates that he is rich. However, there is a problem with his head, with only a small amount of hair stubbornly sticking out.

The middle-aged man walked up behind the young woman and gently hugged her, speaking to her in a slightly ingratiating tone.

"Are you still mad at me, honey?"

The young woman struggled slightly but couldn't break free, then let the other person hold her, only secretly pouting her lips.

"Jack, you told me you'd take me out to sea, but you didn't say it would be on a cruise ship like this!"

"Sorry, honey, something happened to one of the company's offshore oil wells, so I had to come and check it out myself! Next time, I'll buy you a yacht, and we can go sailing together!"

Yes, the middle-aged man is named Jack, but the young woman is not Rose.

Upon hearing Jack's promise, the young woman turned and hugged the middle-aged man, beaming with joy.

"You said it yourself! Don't lie to me!"

"Darling, you're my precious baby, how could I bear to lie to you!"

The two hugged and whispered to each other for a while, but a staff member came over and interrupted their intimacy.

"Boss, someone's calling for you!"

Jack patted the young woman on the back.

"Janes, don't stay on the deck for too long. It's windy outside and you'll catch a cold."

"Ok!"

Jack turned and walked towards the cabin. After the middle-aged man disappeared, the smile on the young woman's face also vanished.

It's clear that this couple, with an age difference of nearly twenty years, isn't as loving as they seem.

It's obvious. Janice is young and beautiful, with a magnificent 32E headlight. Why would she be attracted to Jack, a middle-aged man who is almost fifty, just because he's bald?
That's impossible. Their union is simply a matter of one being beautiful and the other being wealthy.

So Janice's change in expression just now was all an act; she was only providing emotional value to Jack. Once Jack was gone, she naturally didn't want to continue acting.

After all, the original plan was to go out to sea on a yacht, but now it has turned into going to inspect oil wells in an oil tanker.

Although the ship had gotten bigger, Janice's mood had worsened.

As for Jack saying he'd buy himself a yacht, just take it with a grain of salt.

A woman like Janice wouldn't easily believe a man's promises, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to marry Jack.

After leaning against the railing for a while, Janice rubbed her arms.

"It does seem a bit cold."

Janice felt that her clothes were a bit too thin, so she prepared to go back into the cabin.

At that moment, Janice suddenly saw what looked like a gray object floating on the sea.

Janice took a second look; it appeared to be a gray creature.

How could something like that be floating on the sea?

Janice's curiosity was piqued, and she immediately went to find her husband, Jack.

After a while, Jack and Janice returned to the deck with binoculars, accompanied by the captain.

"It does look quite strange. What exactly is that thing?"

Jack handed the telescope to the captain, hoping the knowledgeable captain could provide an answer.

The captain took the binoculars and glanced at it, but couldn't recognize what it was.

"It doesn't look like wood, nor does it look like plastic. Could it be the corpse of some kind of creature?"

Upon hearing this, Janice offered a suggestion.

"Wouldn't we know if we just fished that thing out?"

The captain hesitated. For safety reasons, he was reluctant to salvage something of unknown origin; who knew what might happen?

"Ma'am, isn't this a bit inappropriate? We're in a hurry!"

But seeing how interested Janice was, Jack chose to support her.

"It's alright, a little time won't make a difference. Captain, let's stop the ship now and salvage that thing."

Since the boss had spoken, the captain had no choice but to stop the tanker and launch the lifeboats to salvage the object.

Half an hour later, the crew successfully moved the gray object onto the oil tanker.

"What the hell is this?"

Jack looked at the oval-shaped object in front of him with great curiosity.

This thing is gray all over, with a very smooth surface, and it is a seamless whole without any gaps. It looks neither like a living thing nor like a man-made product.

Janice couldn't resist reaching out and tapping it, discovering that the thing actually had a temperature, very close to that of a human body, and it seemed to be hollow.

"It looks like a gray capsule? And it's hollow inside!"

The captain put forward a viewpoint.

"Could this be an alien spacecraft? Like in the movies, a life pod from outer space or something?"

Although this viewpoint was quite outrageous, it received the support of most people present.

After all, this is the time when rumors about aliens, UFOs, and Area 51 are most popular, and Hollywood has made many movies related to aliens.

In addition, this gray oval object certainly doesn't look like anything from Earth.

Even Jack was starting to believe this view, and he looked at the captain.

"Open this thing."

"Boss, isn't this dangerous?"

"How will you know if there's any danger if you don't try? If this thing really comes from outer space, whoever opens it will definitely go down in history. Don't you want to give it a try?"

These words made the crew members present show expressions of interest. They were all just ordinary people, and they might be stuck at the bottom of society for the rest of their lives.

But now, an opportunity to become a celebrity is presented to you, which makes it hard to refuse.

Several crew members immediately offered to open the oval object for Jack, on the condition that their names be mentioned in future media interviews.

After Jack agreed to the terms, the crew members began to work.

At first, the crew simply hammered and chiseled, but after more than ten minutes of hammering, they only left some white marks on the surface of the oval object.

The crowd was amazed by the sturdiness of the oval object, which further convinced them that it was extraterrestrial material.

Fortunately, the tanker had no shortage of tools, and after several hours of hard work with various tools, the gray oval object was finally opened.

Everyone was eager to see what was inside, and Janice had even picked up her camera, ready to take pictures at any moment.

Inside the oval-shaped object lay an incredibly handsome man.
