American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 365 This is your punishment

What happened on the highway between San Francisco and Los Angeles was not known to most people, and even the city governments of Los Angeles and San Francisco were completely unaware of it.

Only those within the FEA knew that the Elders had deployed dozens of vampires to hunt down the Shadow Hunters.

In order to avoid being hunted down by the Shadow Hunters, Hodge, this traitor, also betrayed several other groups of Shadow Hunters, resulting in heavy losses for the elite Shadow Hunters who were dispatched.

The number of Shadow Hunters was already dwindling, and now it's even worse; the total number of Shadow Hunters, which was only a few hundred, has been reduced by half.

Jocelyn even considered disbanding the Shadow Hunters, but that thought vanished completely after seeing the woman Roy brought a day later.

"Mr. Black, is there something you need that you summoned me from New York?"

The woman from New York is, of course, Uriel's human form, Iris.

Recently, FEA headquarters has been holding meetings, and as the representative of Paradise, Elise naturally has to participate in them.

However, as soon as Roy made the call, Elise came straight to Los Angeles without even asking what was wrong.

Judging from this situation, Elise now trusts Roy quite a bit, perhaps even more than she trusts Raphael. After all, Raphael is occasionally late, but Roy has never let her down.

"Here's the thing, there's a group of idealists dedicated to fighting dark creatures, but they've lost their organization, and I was wondering if Ms. Elise could take over their task."

Roy gave a brief overview of the Shadow Hunters' current situation, which greatly surprised Elise.

"There really is such an organization? Are they the inheritors of King Arthur's will?"

"Ms. Elise, do you know King Arthur?"

Elise nodded.

“I know a bit about legendary figures among humankind, not to mention that King Arthur found the Holy Grail and protected the bloodline of Jesus.”

Elise turned her head and gave Clarley next to Roy a meaningful look, clearly having noticed her special bloodline.

"Ms. Elise, would you be willing to take over the Shadow Hunters?"

“I do need some suitable subordinates to work for me. It’s not quite right to always use FEA agents, but I also need to make sure these Shadow Hunters are qualified. Mr. Black, take me to them.”

Roy took Elise and Claire aboard Bumblebee, and the three headed towards the Shadow Hunters' base in Los Angeles.

Inside the base, Jocelyn had already gathered all the active Shadow Hunters, numbering around 150, most of whom were around 40 years old, indicating a serious shortage of younger generations.

This is unavoidable. After the hippie movement, America's youth as a whole degenerated very quickly. This generation of young people like to enjoy themselves and smoke marijuana. How could such young people endure the arduous training day after day and fight against dark creatures with love as their power source?

Therefore, the demise of Shadow Hunters was foreseeable, and it wasn't just a matter of funding; after all, idealists are bound to become fewer and fewer.

"Jocelyn, are you sure there won't be any problems?"

The one speaking was the same person who led the team to the villa earlier. He was in charge of guarding the base yesterday and didn't go to San Francisco with Hodge, so he escaped unscathed.

In reality, Hodge's behavior is despised by all Shadow Hunters, so he has no confidants within the organization and has only gotten to where he is today through his acting skills.

"Definitely! I believe in Mr. Black! They seem to be here. Be alert, don't disgrace the Shadow Hunters!"

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the Shadow Hunter saw Roy, Claire, and a beautiful woman dressed in a white nun's habit with her eyes covered by a black cloth as she walked in.

“Elise, these are the Shadow Hunters. Ms. Frey, I’ve brought them here! Let me introduce you, this is Ms. Elise, you can also call her Uriel.”

Roy gave a brief introduction to both sides. Jocelyn didn't react at first, but a Shadow Hunter next to her reminded her.

"Uriel, is that Uriel, one of the four archangels?"

Roy didn't answer; his work was done, and he'd let Elise handle the rest.

Elise used her Divine Eye to scan all the Shadow Hunters present, and at that moment each Shadow Hunter felt as if she had been seen through.

Elise was generally satisfied with the Shadow Hunter's abilities.

As an angel, Elise values ​​the willpower of her subordinates even more, and these Shadow Hunters who have persevered until now are all people with strong willpower.

On the contrary, as living conditions have improved, there are fewer pastors and nuns with strong will in the church.

In order to choose human incarnations for Michael and Uriel, the Catholic Church practically searched through every nun in Europe.

When it came to Raphael's turn, they couldn't find a suitable human host.

As a result, Raphael simply found a French playboy to be his human form, which made the church feel very embarrassed.

"These people are not bad. Although their strength is very low, their will is quite good. Even FEAR's top combat personnel cannot compare to them."

How can FEAR's combat personnel compare to a group of people who have persisted for so many years out of love, especially considering that FEAR's salaries and allowances are not low?

Then, Elise stepped forward, revealing her angelic form, with twelve wings of light shining brightly in the hall.

"My name is Uriel! From this day forward, you will fight for God!"

To be honest, the scene was quite shocking. At least all the Shadow Hunters present were stunned by Elise and knelt down to the angel.

Most Shadow Hunters are Christians, and the few who are not religious joined because their family members were killed by dark creatures.

Seeing the archangel before me now, isn't it just like a miracle?

Seeing that Elise had easily subdued the Shadow Hunter, Roy was relieved of a worry. All that remained were matters concerning the Elder Council and the Dark Web.

This can be done slowly. The Elders and the Dark Web shouldn't dare to make any rash moves in the short term. Valentine and Abigail also need some time to heal their wounds.

However, I should also tell Elise that we should make the most of the power of FEA and Shadow Hunters.

"You mean the vampires have been acting strangely lately? They want to obtain the blood of Jesus to break free from God's curse?"

After recruiting the Shadow Hunters, Roy and Elise discussed the Elder Council in Hodge's office, while Claire and Jocelyn listened in as representatives of the Shadow Hunters.

Well, Claire eventually joined the Shadow Hunters just like her mother. One reason was that she could receive systematic training, since Roy wasn't a professional instructor, while the Shadow Hunters had instructors specifically for training new recruits.

On the other hand, it was also Claire's own request; she hoped to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a Shadow Hunter.

Elise frowned deeply. As an archangel, she knew some of the secrets from back then.

"I never expected that Cain's descendants would still not give up!"

Upon hearing this, Roy sensed that Elise knew some secrets.

"What do you mean?"

"After the Great Flood, Cain also learned of this method, so he disguised himself as a Jew and manipulated Judas, one of Jesus' disciples, to kill Jesus. However, he ultimately failed, God discovered his plan, and Cain was banished from the earth by God."

That's really tragic, but it seems reasonable for Cain to pretend to be a Jew, since they're both vampires.

"Ms. Elise, we cannot let the Elders succeed!"

“Now that I’m in Los Angeles, I won’t let the Elders succeed! Your name is Claire, right? You’ll stay with me for the next few days. I’ll protect you and teach you how to use the angels’ abilities.”

Claire paused for a moment. "But I have to go to class!"

Elise has been on Earth for half a year now, so of course she knows that Claire wants to go to school.

"Can't I ask for leave?"

"If you take leave right after the start of the semester, it will cause a lot of trouble later!"

Claire's words made Elise frown slightly.

"In that case, I'll move into the university town too."

With FEA as her backer, it would be easy for Elise to stay at UCLA for a while, but Roy panicked when he heard this.

Goodness, Elizabeth is at UCLA now. Roy doesn't even want to think about what might happen if the two of them bump into each other on campus!
“Ms. Elise, there’s no need for that. I’m in charge of Claire’s safety at school. She can come back here to receive your training in the evenings.”

Elise looked at Roy in surprise, not understanding why he was so agitated.

However, Roy's suggestion wasn't too problematic, and after thinking about it, Elise agreed.

“That works too! Claire, this month you’ll attend school during the day and come here for my training after school. I’ll have someone pick you up and drop you off.”

Claire nodded.

“Yes, Ms. Elise.”

The matter with the Shadow Hunters is temporarily resolved. After Elise takes over the Shadow Hunters organization, she will definitely invest in it, change its structure, and begin recruiting new members.

As for money, Elise certainly doesn't lack it, since she can also get money from the church.

Both the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are Elise's ATMs; the wealth she has accumulated over thousands of years is no joke.

Compared to the church, the Vampire Elders are nothing.

With Elise in charge in Los Angeles, Roy can rest easy and can go back to his carefree lifestyle.

Saltana trembled violently, as if she were about to faint.

"Roy, I really can't take it anymore! Please have mercy on me!"

Roy looked at the chocolate beauty with an evil smile.

"Sister Saltana, who told you to team up with Archina to frame me? This is your punishment!"

Saltana answered Roy in a trembling voice.

"It was Archina who kept begging me a while ago! And you didn't lose out, did you?"

"This is different! You colluded with outsiders to deal with me, so you must be punished properly. This time, I'm going to make sure you rest for a whole week!"

Upon hearing Roy's harsh words, Saltana's entire skin turned pink.

"I was wrong, Roy! Please forgive me!"

"Heh, admitting your mistake now? Too late!"

At that moment, Saltana's apartment door was opened.

Saltana shares an apartment with Amy, but Roy knows that Amy is still at sea salvaging the ghost ship and hasn't returned to Los Angeles yet.

There's no way around it, because the ghost ship sank in the deep sea, making salvage extremely difficult. Basically, they salvage a little bit every day.

So Heather, Penny, and Amy are still adrift at sea.

However, the salvage operation should be completed by mid-September at the latest.

So who will be coming in now?
It's Keller Evans (Naomi Watts)!
Keller was indeed Saltana's friend, but Roy didn't expect that she would have a key to Saltana's apartment.

The battle took place in the apartment's living room.

"Keller... save... me..."

Saltana, with tears streaming down her face, begged Keller for help, catching him off guard.

The female reporter had never actually played a friendly match with Roy, since she was injured and unable to engage in strenuous exercise when Roy was still in Los Angeles.

After the female reporter recovered from her injuries, Luo Yiren was no longer in Los Angeles.

Roy's contact with Keller was limited to accepting remote interviews from her.

Seeing the intense battle, Keller's breathing became rapid; Roy's physique was simply too strong and imposing.

Yes, men are attracted to women, and women are attracted to men. There is no distinction between noble and vulgar; it is simply human nature.

Keller was now completely captivated by Roy, and reason told her she should leave, but she instinctively closed the door.

Finally, Saltana took her final bow after a scream, and Roy put down the unconscious Chocolate Beauty and walked toward Keller.

Keller leaned against the door, motionless, radiating a powerful masculine aura that left the female reporter bewildered.

When Keller came to his senses, he found himself transformed into a large white sheep, placed next to Saltana.

Now that things had come to this, Keller could only stare at Roy's eyes, her face flushed.

"Roy, be gentle! Ah!"

Unfortunately, Keller spoke too late.

Roy was surprised to find that Keller, who was already thirty years old, was as innocent as a young girl; this woman seemed to have really not experienced anything.

"Keller, is this your first time?"

Keller frowned and bit her lip.

"I tried a few times during my student days, but I stopped looking for a boyfriend because I was too busy with my studies and work."

In other words, they haven't played a friendly match in nearly ten years?
Roy immediately suppressed his physical instincts, wanting to give Keller, who hadn't played a friendly match in a long time, a good gaming experience.

However, women are always very adaptable in this regard.

"Roy, Roy, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore."

"Roy—ah!"

[Ding! You have obtained Keller Evans' Conquest Chest! Open it?]
