American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 339 A Moment of Anger in a State of Extreme Rage

A luxurious villa deep in the Rocky Mountains.

This is the property of the Ashin family, who have controlled Ravensfield for over a century and accumulated a vast fortune.

However, the life of the last member of this family is about to end, and it is unknown who will benefit from such a large inheritance.

Jamie's body was tightly bound, and in front of him stood a man wearing a white mask and the spirit of an old woman.

"Jamie Ashen, I've finally waited for this day!"

Mary Shaw wore an uncontrollable smile, the joy of an imminent revenge.

“Mary Shaw, it was my ancestor who killed you, it has nothing to do with me! Why did you have to kill me, and also my wife!”

"Hahaha... Of course, it's to complete the ritual! As long as I sacrifice your entire family, I can become a truly perfect doll with human senses!"

It turns out that Mary Shaw also knew that Ella lacked normal human senses, so this so-called perfect doll was not actually perfect.

Mary Shaw's body has been turned into a doll by Henry's father, so she cannot be resurrected in a normal way.

So Mary Shaw came up with an ancient ritual that would allow her to take revenge and also give the dolls she created complete senses, even allowing them to eat like humans.

"Unfortunately, my original body has become the vessel for the Seed of Silence and can no longer be used."

Mary Shaw even looked somewhat regretful.

The Iron Hook Man on the side seemed a little impatient.

"Enough, Mary! Your original body was old and ugly, what's there to regret? Anyway, you're a puppeteer, you can make puppets to your liking! Let's hurry up and finish that ritual, Mr. R is almost here!"

"Heh, Hook Man, you're really impatient! Alright, then push the thing out."

The man with the iron hook took out a corpse from a long bundle beside him. Jamie stared wide-eyed at the man's actions. The corpse was actually his wife's.

"Damn it! Why did you bring Lisa's body here?!"

The Iron Hook Man placed the body on the chair opposite Jamie.

Mary Shaw floated between Jamie and Lisa.

"Of course, it's to complete the final step of the ceremony! Jamie, do you know? You're not actually the last member of the Ashin family!"

Jamie's eyes widened, as if he had realized something.

Mary Shaw wore a cruel smile.

"That's right, Sally was actually pregnant when I killed her! Maybe she wanted to surprise you at the right time?"

Jamie began to recall Sally's behavior before her death, which indeed matched what Mary Shaw had said.

"No! Sally! Why! Ahhh..."

Jamie was acting like a madman, yelling and screaming wildly, clearly unable to accept the truth.

However, Mary Shaw did not take Jamie's tongue away at this moment, because she still had something to tell Jamie.

"Moreover, when I killed Sally, I used a secret method to preserve the fetus, because the ritual required that the Ashin family members be killed in sequence!"

"My child is still alive?"

The successive blows had numbed Jamie to the point that even the fact that his child was still alive could not bring him any comfort; all he felt now was deep despair.

"Now that you know the whole truth, let's complete the final ritual!"

Mary Shaw grinned wickedly and reached out her hand to Jamie.

But at that moment, something triggered the alarm system that the Iron Hook had set up outside the villa.

“Mary Shaw, wait a minute! It looks like someone’s coming!”

Mary Shaw frowned at the Iron Hook Man.

"What? Could it be that Mr. R has arrived? I only need two more steps to complete the ceremony!"

"It's better to play it safe. Let's go out and take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Mary Shaw heeded the advice and chose to stop. The two of them, one human and one ghost, cautiously walked out of the villa.

Suddenly, a black shadow, as fast as lightning, rushed in from outside the villa.

The Hook Man vanished instantly, and Mary Shaw reacted too late, allowing the shadowy figure to pull out a revolver and fire at her.

"what--"

Mary Shaw let out a scream as a beautiful female ghost in a long red dress emerged from the bullet and began to devour her spirit.

"Francisca!"

From the corner, the Hook Man gasped in disbelief, recognizing the ghost in the red dress.

"So you really are Jack!"

Francesca glanced at the Iron Hook Man, her eyes filled with barely suppressed hatred.

"Hook Man, save me!"

Francesca was infused with a lot of positive energy by Roy, so she was extremely powerful. Even Mary Shaw, who was a witch turned evil spirit, could not fight against her and could only keep calling for help from Hook Man.

Hook Man gritted his teeth and dared not show himself. He knew he had no chance of defeating Roy head-on, so he could only stall for time until Mr. R arrived.

This guy didn't know that Roy had gained Elizabeth's access and could sense his approximate location.

Moreover, the closer the distance, the better the sensing effect.

"Stop hiding, you coward! Do you want your comrades to die in front of you?"

This kind of talk has no effect on the Iron Hook Man; he's extremely selfish and puts his own life and safety above everything else.

Roy paced slowly through the villa. He had already sensed the approximate location of the Hook Man and knew that the man was silently praying to Belial.

However, this guy doesn't seem to exist in real space, which means that even if Roy knows his approximate location, he can't hurt him.

When the first approach failed to work, Roy quickly came up with another.

"Hook Man, do you remember that cruise ship you robbed more than ten years ago? I've dealt with the evil spirits on that ship, and now my men are salvaging the gold and jewels inside. How does it feel to work so hard only to benefit someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Roy immediately sensed some slight fluctuations around him, indicating that his words had an effect, but the effect was not strong enough and required a greater stimulus.

On the other side, Mary Shaw was already on the verge of death from Francesca's beating, and the red-dressed ghost licked her lips and began to look around.

“Jack, I know why you killed me. It wasn’t because you wanted the treasure for yourself. The real reason is that you couldn’t face me, was it?”

Upon hearing this, Roy raised an eyebrow and a strange expression appeared on his face. He had a rough idea of ​​what Francesca wanted to say.

"I've always wondered why you wouldn't touch me, and instead pushed me out to seduce that bandit leader. Now I understand, because you're not a man at all!"

As I've mentioned before, these kinds of words are absolutely the most lethal weapon against men, especially when the man actually has this problem.

Even a calm scientist like Clive Layton would turn red instantly after being spoken to like that by Miss Joy.

Roy then felt the fluctuations in a certain location becoming increasingly noticeable.

Francesca's words were barely finished when they became increasingly explosive. "You know what? I'm Roy's woman now! You never expected that, did you? I'm experiencing bliss after death, a feeling I never had when I was with you!"

The Iron Hook Man could no longer restrain himself. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the corner—it was the Iron Hook Man!
The guy took out a doll with its hair tied up from his pocket.

"Don't move! This is a cursed doll! If I stick the needle in, Roy Black will die instantly!"

A cursed doll? Could it be the hair that fell out around that time?
"You don't actually think this thing can hurt me, do you?"

Roy had a playful expression on his face.

Roy knew about the cursed doll; this kind of witchcraft appeared in many schools of wizardry, but the most powerful cursed dolls should be those of the Voodoo Church.

However, no matter which school of cursed doll it is, it should not have much effect on Roy, after all, his physical condition is what it is.

However, the Ironhook Man seems to have come to regard this cursed doll as his lifeline.

"You can try! Let Mary Shaw and me leave right now, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"

Roy shook his head; how could he possibly let those two guys leave?

"If you're going to get it done, then get it done. Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing Roy's nonchalant expression, Hook Man gritted his teeth and plunged a needle into the heart of the cursed doll.

Instantly, Roy felt a pricking sensation in his heart, causing him to furrow his brow slightly.

However, this damage was not even comparable to the damage caused by exercising with Black Widow Zoe; it was almost instantly repaired by her super healing ability.

The Hook Man stared in shock at Roy, who was completely unharmed. He kept pulling out needles to stab the cursed doll, but he could only cause Roy some pain and could not cause any greater damage.

"Have you fucking stabbed enough?!"

Roy unleashed his Fear Incarnation ability, plunging Hookman into terror.

Then, Roy used the explosive power of his Ghost Wolf form to rush in front of Iron Hook Man and grab him by the neck.

"I got you!"

Roy's current illusions of fear are so powerful that they can trap people in them forever, but in order to allow Francesca to complete her revenge, he deliberately removed the illusions of fear from the Hook Man.

"No! This is impossible!"

The Iron Hook Man couldn't accept this reality, especially as Francesca got closer and closer to him.

"Jack, ever since I became a ghost, I have been looking forward to the day when I can meet you again!"

Francesca's steps were so elegant, but her eyes held a deep-seated hatred.

"Francesca, please let me go! I'll do anything for you!"

Roy notices that the Iron Hook Man seems to be casting some kind of illusion, trying to influence Roy and Francesca's minds.

This ability must have been obtained through Belial, so Roy, as Belial's servant, was completely unaffected, but Francesca was lost in confusion.

"Be honest with me!"

Roy punched the Iron Hook Man in the stomach, interrupting his magic and causing him to vomit uncontrollably.

To prevent the Hook Man from continuing his antics, Roy simply snapped the guy's limbs and threw him to the ground.

"Francisca, let's finish this already!"

Francesca, regaining her senses, nodded silently and then took the Smith Wesson M629 she was staying with.

Goodbye, Jack!

Francesca pulled the trigger expressionlessly, blowing the Iron Hook Man's head off.

[Ding! You have obtained the Iron Hook Man's Treasure Chest! Open it?]

After killing the Hook Man, Francesca felt a sense of relief; the resentment in her spirit seemed to vanish instantly.

"Thank you, dear!"

Francesca walked over to Roy and passionately kissed him.

Roy could sense the other person's genuine joy, the kind of urge that made him want to have a three-hundred-round battle with him right there.

But the situation was clearly not the right time to do that, so Roy pushed Francesca away after only one minute of kissing.

“Francisca, we still have a lot to do. We can celebrate when we get back.”

"Ok!"

Francesca looked at Roy with loving eyes, and now Roy would do anything she asked.

"Go and untie Jamie's ropes."

As for Roy himself, he wanted to have a good talk with Mary Shaw.

Mary Shaw was severely injured in her recent battle with Francesca, and her soul is now leaking everywhere and will soon dissipate.

This state is very similar to the situation when the cursed daggers were corroded by Mammon's blood, causing damage to Sadako and Kayako's souls.

If a wizard were to place Mary Shaw's soul into a container and nourish it with the power of the soul, Mary Shaw might slowly recover.

"Save me! I'm willing to cooperate with you! Just save me!"

At this moment, Mary Shaw was no longer as arrogant as before; she looked at Roy with a pleading expression.

Roy shook his head.

“I’ve given you so many chances, but you haven’t seized them! Now, let someone else decide your fate, Ella!”

Roy called out Ella's name, and a tall and elegant figure walked in from outside the villa.

Mary Shaw stared wide-eyed at Ella.

So it was you who betrayed me!

In fact, even without Ella, Roy could have found this place, it would just have taken a little longer, and that extra time could have led to Jamie's death.

Ella stared blankly at Mary Shaw, who had turned her into a doll without senses and manipulated her into doing so many evil things.

It's impossible to say that Ella doesn't hate Mary Shaw.

"That's right, it's me!"

Enraged, Mary Shaw immediately tried to use the rune she had buried in Ella's heart to kill her.

However, during his previous positive energy output, Roy had already cleansed Ella's body with his ability as the embodiment of desire, and had also covered up Mary Shaw's control methods on Ella with his personal mark.

So Mary Shaw was just angry in a fit of extreme rage.

Mary Shaw, realizing what was happening, immediately understood that her control over Ella had vanished.

"This is impossible!"

Ella
