American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 302 Dead Memories Are Attacking Me

Turning his head, Roy saw a strange monster crawling towards him from a distance.

This thing appears to be a human mutation; the head is barely recognizable as a human face, and eight slender legs support its bloated body.

It's like a person whose body is covered in tumors, and then mutates into a stick insect.

As Roy saw the long-legged monster, the monster also spotted him, and then shot something that looked like a tongue at Roy.

"Don't touch me!"

Roy took out his executioner's knife and cut off the long-legged monster's tongue, then used the explosive power of his Ghost Wolf form to charge at the monster.

Before the long-legged monster could react, Roy had already severed all eight of its long legs.

The long-legged monster, which had fallen to the ground, tried to stick out its tongue to attack Roy, but Roy easily dodged it and then lifted it up with one hand to execute it by cutting it in half at the waist.

"go to hell!"

The executioner's blade killed the long-legged monster instantly. Roy frowned as he looked at the monster's internal organs. There was no trace of humanity left inside; it was filled with colorful, filamentous substances.

After the long-legged monster died, these filaments began to fade rapidly, eventually turning into a black slime.

At the same time, the long-legged monster's corpse began to rapidly dry out and rot, emitting the same indescribable stench that Roy had smelled at the bottom of the well.

So that's where the stench I smelled back then came from.

After studying the long-legged monster's corpse for a while, Roy activated the Hound Ring's effect and continued tracking Jack.

At that moment, Roy heard gunshots and screams coming from the main drilling building.

The two military company security guards with Jack were armed, so it's very likely that they were the ones who fired those shots.

The people who went into the drilling platform earlier are still alive!

Roy immediately followed the sound of gunfire, but due to the chaotic environment of the platform, it took him some time to find the entrance to the main building.

Upon entering the main building, Roy noticed that the indescribable stench had become even stronger, almost suffocating him.

For the first time, Roy felt that Ghost Wolf's powerful sense of smell was a burden, as he had to hold his breath for long periods of time to avoid the effects of the stench.

Then, Roy discovered that the main building was filled with strange flesh and blood tissue, some of which had human corpses on them, as if the flesh and blood tissue was absorbing and digesting human corpses.

There were even some human remains that weren't completely dead, clinging to flesh and blood.

"help me……"

This person looked like a worker on an oil rig, and Roy tried to pull him out of the flesh.

As a result, half of this person's body had been completely digested by flesh and blood tissue, and only half of the person was pulled out by Roy.

Roy could only watch as half a person lay on the ground, groaning in agony. No matter what questions he asked, the person would only answer, "Save me."

We can't waste any more time!

With no other option, Roy had to abandon half of his men and continue searching in Jack's direction.

The building's interior structure underwent a dramatic change due to the presence of flesh and blood, and many passageways that were originally passable were now blocked by the flesh and blood.

To speed things up, Roy had to use his executioner's knife to cut through the wall and take a shortcut.

After demolishing several walls, Roy could hear the gunshots getting closer, but the gunshots became increasingly chaotic.

It's right ahead!
Roy suddenly saw that an entire wall and door in front of him were covered by some disgusting-looking fleshy membranes. These membranes seemed to have just grown out and looked very "fresh".

Furthermore, the surface of the flesh membrane was covered with a large number of colorful filaments, the same color as the mysterious substance Roy had seen in the sea.

These filaments come together to form a net-like structure, which looks very beautiful.

However, in nature, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it often is.

Roy strongly suspected that everything that happened on the drilling platform was caused by these colorful, mysterious substances.

Without hesitation, Roy raised his executioner's knife, intending to cleave the flesh membrane along with the colorful filaments.

But the moment he split the colorful threads, Roy suddenly saw a dazzling light, which almost instantly turned his vision white.

When the white light disappeared, Roy found himself inexplicably standing in a rugby field, wearing a standard rugby jersey and with a rugby ball tucked under his arm.

What's happening here?
"Roy, what are you standing there for! Run!"

On the sidelines, a middle-aged white man shouted at Roy, but Roy was just observing his surroundings.

Familiar teammates, familiar stands, and the familiar cheerleading captain on the sidelines.

Hiss! Could these be the original owner's past memories?

It didn't seem like a memory, because while Roy was standing still, the opposing players were already rushing towards him.

Roy instinctively dodged.

Normally, given Roy's current physical abilities, it should be very easy for him to dodge ordinary players, but this time his mind had already reacted, but his body hadn't.

This familiar feeling is just like the physical condition I had when I first transmigrated to this world!

Dead memories are attacking me!
Well, Roy has only been in this world for less than a year, but it feels like he has been here for a very long time, so long that he feels a little dazed when he thinks back on it.

And then, that was it. Roy was tackled to the ground and pinned down by several strong players.

The match ended, and a middle-aged man on the sidelines rushed onto the field and berated Roy.

This man should be Roy's former rugby coach. In the original owner's memory, he loved to swear, which made the original owner realize that there are quite a few slang terms used to swear in English.

Then, Jennifer, the cheerleading captain on the sidelines, also came over and looked at Roy indifferently.

"Roy, you've disappointed me so much!"

Seeing Jennifer's cold demeanor, Roy even felt a pang of nostalgia.

At that time, Jennifer was indeed rather cold towards the original owner, but it wouldn't have been to say such things to her.

Therefore, all of this was just an illusion created by something reading part of Roy's memories, trying to make him feel frustrated.

The reason I say it's just memories in the body is because if you want to make Roy feel frustrated, wouldn't his memories from his previous life be more useful?

However, Roy's memories of his past life only exist in his soul. Roy is already very experienced in dealing with this kind of mental attack; all he needs to do is transform into his angel form and use pure holy light to shatter this mental world.

Even as Roy transformed into a six-winged angel, the coach continued to hurl insults, and Jennifer remained visibly disappointed. This mechanical performance left Roy deeply frustrated.

This method of stirring up emotions is so low-level, would anyone actually fall for it?
Then Roy thought of those people captured by flesh and blood tissue. Could it be that they were controlled in this way, then wrapped in flesh membranes and digested and absorbed?
In fact, Roy was immune to this illusion for two reasons. First, his willpower was high enough. Second, the memory he had just experienced belonged to the original owner of the body. If the memories from his previous life were used to create an illusion, it was hard to say whether Roy would fall for it.

Let's go out first!

Roy, the six-winged angel, drew a dazzling lightsaber and slashed it fiercely at the coach who was spewing spittle. This guy's mouth was just too foul; even though Roy knew it was all fake, he couldn't help but want to give him a stab.

Holy light flashed, and in an instant, the world was split in two by Roy, the dazzling white light once again filling his entire field of vision.

When Roy returned to the real world, he saw that his body was being connected by some colorful, fluffy things. Upon closer inspection, he could see that these colorful fluffy things seemed to be some kind of creature, and he could see that it was slowly wriggling.

Roy was just dragged into the mental world, probably because of these colorful, fluffy life forms.

Roy immediately tore these strange, fibrous life forms off and continued forward through the cut flesh membrane.

Behind the membrane of flesh is the drilling platform's restaurant, but now it's a restaurant for flesh and blood tissue. You can see several corpses that have been almost digested by the flesh and blood tissue, and there's even more flesh and blood tissue here, making the originally spacious restaurant feel crowded.

"God! Someone save me!"

At that moment, Jack was desperately praying to God in the restaurant's kitchen, with only a security guard from a military company by his side.

Others were either lured by the flocculent creatures and then digested by the flesh and blood, or killed by the monsters and turned into new monsters.

For example, the monster walking towards the two of them is a mutated security guard from another military company.

The creature's face was covered in tumors, making it unrecognizable, and its arms had turned into tentacles that were constantly waving around.

The military company security personnel around Jack were firing at their former colleagues, but the firearms were clearly ineffective against this monster. Even with holes punched in its body, it continued to walk towards Jack and his group.

"Damn it! Why can't this thing be killed?!"

The military company's security was almost desperate. He originally thought this job would be very simple, that he could just pull out a gun and threaten them to solve the problem. He never expected that something like this would happen on the drilling platform.

The two are now trapped in the restaurant's kitchen with nowhere to escape, and the security guard is running out of gun ammunition; it seems everything is heading towards a bad ending.

Just then, Jack and the security guard suddenly felt a blur before their eyes and saw a burly man appear behind the security guard, lifting him up with one hand and piercing his body with a long knife.

With a splash, water spilled onto the ground, along with many colorful and mysterious substances. The security guard, after being executed, quickly began to rot and emit a foul stench.

However, the transformation time was probably too short, so the security personnel's internal organs were not completely destroyed.

"Roy!"

Jack stared at Roy with wide eyes, feeling both disbelief and relief.

"Jack, are you two the only ones left?"

"We got separated when we were chased by a long-legged monster on the platform. I think they're... By the way, Roy, didn't you encounter that long-legged monster?"

Jack still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the long-legged monster, and he was curious about how Roy had gotten through it.

"I ran into him, but I've already taken care of him."

Roy's nonchalant explanation instilled a sense of fear in Jack and the security personnel.

That's human nature. We admire those who are slightly stronger than ourselves, but we feel fear when faced with someone who is far too powerful, especially if that person is standing right in front of us.

Jack gave a forced smile.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get out of here quickly!"

Now that Jack had been found, Roy decided to send them back to the tanker.

However, as soon as the three left the kitchen, they felt a strong tremor throughout the drilling platform, and more flesh and blood emerged from under the floor, completely blocking their way out.

It seems that these fleshy tissues also have self-awareness, and they do not want the three people to leave the drilling platform.

Hmph! You think you can stop me with that?

"Jack, get ready, I'm about to transform!"

"Huh? What transformation?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jack saw Roy's body suddenly begin to swell, his skin turn dark red, and a pair of majestic, upright horns grow from his head, along with a pair of classic bat wings on his back.

"Evil demon!"

Jack nearly fainted from fright, but thankfully a security guard caught him. However, even the guard's legs were weak; the demon was simply too terrifying for a Christian.

For example, right now, Jack, as a devout Christian, really wishes he were having a nightmare.

What happened tonight was completely unacceptable to Jack.

But Roy is now leading the way, one hand holding an executioner's blade imbued with hellish power, and the other holding an M870.

These seemingly thick layers of flesh and blood had no chance of survival in the face of hellfire, and were easily burned away by Roy, just like the forests of California.

Although Jack and the security personnel were terrified, the best option at this moment was to follow Roy, since Roy didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them.

Wait a minute, could Roy be after his young and beautiful wife?

Suddenly, some strange thoughts popped into Jack's mind, and these thoughts were taking root and sprouting uncontrollably in his heart.

Roy was unaware that Jack behind him was thinking all sorts of nonsense; he was focused on fighting the ever-growing flesh and blood.

Seemingly sensing that Roy and his companions were accelerating their escape, the flesh and blood tissue was growing at an accelerated pace, constantly restricting the three's range of movement, and was also consciously driving them in a certain direction.

Roy wasn't going to let the other party lead him around. Since they wouldn't let him walk the right path, he would just flip the table!

"Get ready, I'm going to make a hole in the ground!"

"What did you say?"

Before Jack could react, Roy had already transformed into Nephilim, and a gray light began to brew in his eyes.

Soon, the ground of the drilling platform was drawn into a perfect circle by the chaotic beam of light, and the entire lower layer was neatly cut open.

"let's go!"
