American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 329 Only Effort and Sweat

“Madison, Maria, Zoe, and Carrie, I know what you’re thinking. After this break, you’re going back to boring witch school, so you want to play a little longer. But Jennifer and I really have important things to do right now, and we can’t keep playing along with your nonsense.”

Upon hearing this, the four members of the Apocalypse Society felt somewhat distressed, as what Roy said was indeed exactly what they were thinking.

After all, the witches of the Apocalypse Society are quite old now, they don't have the mind to think about so many things, they still think about things related to Roy every day.

The fact that Roy hadn't been seen for several months after the Silent Hill incident nearly drove the four members of the Apocalypse Society crazy.

Seeing the four little witches' tearful expressions, Roy sighed.

"How about this, after this incident is over, I'll spend a few days having fun with you. Then, I'll try my best to visit you in Boston for a few days every month."

Upon hearing these two promises, Madison and Maria's expressions instantly changed. They clapped their hands in unison, looking as if their plan had been perfectly executed.

"Yeah!"×2
Zoe and Carrie were stunned. These two rather naive girls were really heartbroken just now, and tears were still on their faces.

After seeing Madison and Maria's actions, they were left unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Roy smiled helplessly. He had long noticed that Madison and Maria were acting. Madison was just a child star, not an award-winning actress, so her acting skills were only passable, though she was particularly gifted in some aspects.

Maria, on the other hand, was simply a drag on the team; her acting was far too obvious.

However, Roy did feel that he owed the four members of the Apocalypse Society a lot, since he hadn't seen them for almost three months, from the end of the Silent Hill incident until the end of August today.

This kind of behavior is somewhat despicable.

(Just a little?)
"Alright, those of you, stop fooling around and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to Ravensfield!"

Upon hearing this, Madison immediately rushed to Roy's side and hugged him.

"Let's start with a goodnight kiss, Mua!"

"I want it too! I want it too!"

Maria followed closely behind, pressing her lips to Roy's and sticking out her tongue.

Although Zoe didn't say anything, she blushed and walked over to kiss Roy.

Carrie was the only one who remained timid and hesitant. Judging from her expression, she also wanted a goodnight kiss, but seemed too shy to do so.

There was no other way, so Roy had to step forward and give Carrie a sweet kiss that made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

"Alright, go to sleep now!"

"Ok!"

Carrie staggered towards the bedroom, looking completely drunk.

Now only Roy and Jennifer were left in the living room.

Jennifer remained smiling, seemingly unperturbed by Roy's interaction with the four members of the Apocalypse Society.

Roy moved closer to Jennifer and stroked her face.

"Jennifer, aren't you angry?"

Jennifer smiled and shook her head.

"Actually, I can understand their feelings because I felt the same way back in March."

In March, Roy went to Los Angeles and didn't see Jennifer for more than a month.

At that time, Jennifer also missed Roy every day, so she could understand the feelings of the four members of the Apocalypse Society.

"Oh, I see! Then let's get some rest too!"

Roy pulled Jennifer into the bedroom. Madison had specially booked a king-size bed room, which could comfortably fit six people.

However, as soon as Roy came in, Madison would try to cause trouble, and in the end, the bedroom would only quiet down under Carrie's strong suppression.

When only the soft snoring from the bedroom remained in the suite, and there was no other noise, the wooden puppet Billy, which Roy had casually placed in the living room, suddenly moved.

Billy's eyes gleamed with a faint, eerie light as he stiffly got off the sofa and stepped onto the soft carpet.

As if possessed, the puppet Billy walked toward the bedroom. The soft carpet provided excellent sound insulation, and the puppet made no sound when he stepped on it.

Billy quietly pushed open the bedroom door and looked at the six people lying side by side on the bed. Such a decadent scene made the puppet open and close its mouth silently, as if it wanted to say something.

However, Billy ultimately made no sound; instead, an old woman with white hair emerged from its mouth.

The old woman walked to the bedside, looked down at the six people who were sleeping soundly, and then reached out her sinful hand to Carrie, who was sleeping beside the bed.

However, just as the old lady's hand was about to touch Carrie's face, a hand reached out from the side and grasped her wrist.

When she looked up, the old lady saw a pair of golden pupils.

"How interesting! I was planning to look for you, but you delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"

That's right, the only one who could possess the puppet Billy is its creator, Mary Shaw.

This guy actually came straight up and offered himself up for a kill, which Roy never expected.

Mary Shaw tried to break free from Roy's grasp, but how could the old lady possibly be a match for Roy's strength?

In an attempt to break free from Roy's control, Mary Shaw slammed her chin down very hard and let out a deafening scream.

"what--"

The scream was heard not only in the bedroom, but by everyone in the entire hotel.

Mary Shaw's scream was clearly not an ordinary scream, but a powerful magic.

Roy, who took the hit head-on, had the illusion that his soul had been roared out of his body. In fact, his soul did leave his body somewhat, but with his willpower attribute of up to 80, his soul returned to its place in the blink of an eye.

But Carrie wasn't so lucky. Her willpower wasn't strong to begin with, and she was so close to Mary Shaw that her soul was immediately roared out of her body.

Then Carrie opened her bloodshot eyes, but Roy's attention was focused on Mary Shaw and he didn't notice her change.

"How is this possible! The Banshee's Scream had no effect on you!"

Mary Shaw was horrified. If she had known Roy was so powerful, she certainly wouldn't have come to provoke him. Unfortunately, it was all too late.

“Mary Shaw, I mean you no harm!”

Roy still needed Mary Shaw to complete the doll body for Lilith, so he didn't kill her directly. He even took the initiative to release her wrist to show his sincerity.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

This act of letting go did indeed change Mary Shaw's attitude. She took a few steps back, picked up her beloved puppet Billy, and looked at Roy with a wary gaze.

"I've heard you're the most skilled puppeteer, so I'd like to ask you to create the most perfect one for me—"

What is the most perfect thing?
While Mary Shaw was still in a daze, she saw a girl next to Roy suddenly open her mouth wide and bite his chest.

Well, Carrie's teeth couldn't possibly bite Roy, they couldn't even bite him properly, but her closed teeth bit into the rivet.

Although Roy's body is made of steel, he can still feel pain, especially in certain sensitive areas.

Roy shoved Carrie away, rubbing his chest and glaring at her.

"Carrie, what are you doing!"

Carrie's eyes were bloodshot, and her entire body twisted and contorted, strange bone spurs and wings sprouting from her skin; she was clearly beginning to transform into a demon. How could Carrie have suddenly lost control?

Didn't Elise give Carrie a charm to prevent her from being controlled by demons?

Roy scanned the bedroom and spotted another bewildered, semi-transparent Carrie standing in the corner. He then realized who it was.

Because of Carrie's unique constitution, she was easily attracted to evil spirits or demons. So after the Silent Hill incident, Elise saw that Carrie was a good girl and made her a talisman.

This amulet is effective in preventing evil spirits from invading, but it cannot prevent Carrie's soul from leaving her body.

Mary Shaw's banshee scream had just ripped Carrie's soul from her body, causing Carrie's Samael bloodline to lose its restraint and begin to run rampant.

Unfortunately, Carrie was carrying Elise's amulet, which prevented her soul from returning to her body, leading to the current situation.

At this moment, the other girls on the bed sat up groggily, their souls somewhat unstable due to the Mary Shaw banshee's shriek.

Only Jennifer, who had undergone the bloodline fusion ritual, was in the best condition and could still speak.

"Roy, what happened?"

"Carrie is in trouble!"

Before she could finish speaking, Carrie, in a fit of rage, rushed toward the French windows to escape.

Roy quickly entered his Ghost Wolf form, then used the Ghost Wolf's super explosive power to appear in front of Carrie, smashing her into the floor with a downward slash.

That was a pretty hard hit, but there was nothing Roy could do about it.

Because Carrie's physical abilities were even more terrifying after being possessed by Samael, her normal physical abilities were stronger than Jennifer's, not to mention after she went berserk.

Fortunately, Roy's physical abilities still gave him the upper hand, allowing him to steadily control Carrie in her berserk state.

Yes, there are no numerical values, only hard work and sweat.

But at that moment, Mary Shaw, on the other side of the room, turned and ran out of the bedroom, trying to escape in the chaos.

"Don't leave!"

Roy tried to stop Mary Shaw, but Carrie, who was running wild, quickly got up, crawled between his legs, smashed through the French windows, and flew away.

Roy was now in a dilemma: should he pursue Mary Shaw or Carrie?

Fortunately, Jennifer made the choice for Roy.

"Roy, I'm going after Mary Shaw. You go and deal with Carrie!"

Carrie is a witch with the blood of the Demon King, making her significantly more difficult to deal with, so the task can only be left to Roy to handle.

As for Mary Shaw, she wasn't considered a particularly powerful witch in the Witch Coven's records, otherwise she wouldn't have remained relatively unknown.

Even if such a witch were to become an evil spirit after death, she wouldn't be any more difficult to deal with than the rampaging Carrie.

Jennifer herself is a witch, and she still has the original witch Lilith inside her. As long as she doesn't act recklessly, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Yeah, be careful!"

"The same to you!"

After saying that, Roy jumped out of the French windows, while Jennifer rushed toward the opened suite door, leaving only the three Apocalypse Society members who had just come to their senses in the bedroom.

"So what happened?"

Zoe looked at Madison and Maria with a blank expression.

Things happened so fast that before the three little witches could figure it out, Roy, Jennifer, and Carrie had disappeared.

"I saw Carrie's soul. She must have been forced to leave her body because of that scream! Anyway, let's leave the hotel with Carrie's soul. I heard footsteps!"

Maria remained relatively calm, and her mind was the most agile of the three little witches. She quickly made a judgment based on the situation.

The footsteps were definitely there, and the hotel security guards aren't deaf; they would definitely come to check on such a loud noise, and they might have already called the police.

Madison nodded.

"Let's jump out the window too!"

Going directly out of the suite door might result in being run into by security guards, so jumping out of the window would be a better option and would reduce a lot of trouble.

As Madison's abilities have improved, she now handles telekinesis with ease, able to control three people to land smoothly.

However, after the three landed, they found many armored vehicles parked outside the hotel.

What's going on? Where did all these armored vehicles come from?
The three little ones were all a bit confused.

But Madison quickly recognized the vehicle as a FEAR by the markings on it.

The witch herself frequently dealt with the FEA, and Roy was also an FEA agent, so she was quite familiar with the department.

The FEAR troops seemed to be prepared, opening fire immediately upon the three little witches who jumped down.

Madison reacted very quickly, using his telekinetic abilities to deflect the hail of bullets around him.

"Stop! We are witches from the Witches' Union!"

After experiencing so many events, Madison has indeed matured a lot. Otherwise, she would have overturned the police van and run over the FEAR members by now, just like she did when she dealt with gang members in Boston.

"Cease fire! Cease fire immediately!"

Upon hearing Madison's roar, the on-site commander immediately ordered a ceasefire.

If the witches of the Witches' Union were actually killed, the commander could not bear the responsibility. Although the Witches' Union had declined somewhat, even a weakened Witches' Union was still bigger than this commander.

At that moment, a hand pressed down on the shoulder of the on-site commander from behind, and the commander immediately fell into a daze, then gave the completely opposite order.

"Keep firing, take them down!"

Although the FEAR team members were somewhat puzzled as to why their commander had suddenly changed the order, they obeyed and opened fire again.

Madison had already relaxed when the commander said to cease fire, but then the gunfire started again. By then, it was too late for her to use her telekinetic abilities to defend herself from the bullets.

"careful!"

Maria pushed Zoe away, but was hit directly by several bullets.

"Maria!"

Seeing his comrade hit by a bullet, Madison was furious. He immediately took control of a nearby armored vehicle and swept it through the area, instantly killing more than a dozen FEAR members with broken bones.

Upon seeing Madison retaliate, the other FEAR members began firing wildly without even needing the commander's order.

"Zoe, take Maria inside for treatment first!"

Zoe had learned some healing magic and was able to stabilize Maria's condition, while Madison continued to maintain her telekinetic field to protect the two of them.

However, at this point, FEAR had already begun to use heavy weapons.
