American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Why reward him in Chapter 373?
The three followed the trail of blood, which stopped at the door of a room marked "Operating Room".

Xiao Di swallowed hard.

"Are we going in?"

When the time came, this guy started to chicken out again.

Roy glanced at Shawdy, then kicked open the operating room door without warning.

Inside the operating room, the freshman whose head had just been broken was placed on the operating table, while the female nurse who had attacked him was straddling him.

Don't get me wrong, the two weren't doing anything strange. The nurse was actually sewing up the newborn's eyes and mouth with a needle and thread.

However, Xiao Di didn't see the situation clearly; he only saw the female nurse on the new student, so he blurted out a sentence.

"Why should we reward him?"

The noise startled the nurse, who immediately grabbed a hammer from the side and rushed towards Roy and the other two.

Then, without any suspense, it flew back at a speed even faster than it had come at.

However, as a female ghost, she certainly wouldn't crash into the wall; instead, she would pass through it.

"This...this is a female ghost?"

Xiao Di and another freshman were both stunned.

"Yes, it should be a female ghost."

Seeing Roy's calm demeanor, Shawdy's expression became even more shocked.

"Roy, aren't you afraid?"

"Didn't you see me kick that female ghost away? Why should I be afraid?"

That makes perfect sense!

Xiao Di and the freshmen were speechless for a moment.

Roy stood guard for a moment, then realized the nurse hadn't appeared and that she had already run away.

Then, Roy went to the operating table to check on the newborn.

This guy's eyes have been sewn shut, but only the edges of his mouth have been sewn shut, and his breathing is relatively normal, so he shouldn't die anytime soon.

"Shao Di, help him untie the straps so I can check the surroundings."

"Roger that!"

The operating room is quite spacious, but there are some cabinets and curtains that block the view.

However, Roy searched the area but found nothing.

In that case, Roy pushed a wheelchair back to the operating table.

"Put him in a wheelchair, and we'll take him out."

Having his eyelids sewn shut is very troublesome. Fortunately, the new student is still unconscious. Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome if he woke up and found that he couldn't open his eyes.

Just as the three were pushing the wheelchair out of the operating room, the female nurse reappeared and blocked their way.

This time, the nurse didn't come alone; she was accompanied by three other nurses dressed in different uniforms.

"1, 2, 3, aren't these the three actresses who went missing before?"

Roy noticed a noticeable color difference between the three nurses' faces and necks, which was likely the result of makeup.

The three actresses were probably trying to disguise themselves as ghost nurses through makeup, but now they probably don't need makeup anymore. Roy couldn't sense any life in them; they were already corpses.

Moreover, the female ghost nurse sewed up the eyes and mouths of the three actresses, and there were even many stitch marks on their bodies.

It's clear that the female ghost nurse really enjoys cross-stitch.

Xiao Di's voice trembled slightly.

"I don't know if they are the three who went missing, but they are already coming towards us!"

Roy glanced at Shawdy; this black man was a real coward.

"What are you afraid of? They're just three women. Even if they die, they're just dead women!"

Shawdy looked at Roy with surprise, then said something that made Roy uncomfortable.

"So you mean... while it's hot?"

As expected of you, Roy was completely speechless at Shawdy's thought process.

"You guys are still chatting? They're really coming!"

The new student, who was being pushed in a wheelchair, was already weak in the knees, but thankfully the wheelchair was supporting him.

"You all step back and leave this to me!"

Roy took a step forward, then felt a gust of wind behind him. He turned his head and saw that Xiao Di and Xinsheng had already retreated back into the operating room.

"Roy, we'll cheer you on in spirit!"

"Yes, yes! It's all up to you now!"

How disloyal!

Roy cursed inwardly, then walked toward the three female corpses.

At this moment, the three female corpses were walking with an indifferent gait, each with a thread connecting them to the female nurse ghost, like puppets on strings.

After entering the combat range, a large number of loose threads suddenly appeared on the three female corpses, seemingly trying to entangle Roy.

But it was all for naught. Roy threw a left hook, a right hook, and a whip kick, embedding the three female corpses into the wall. The loose threads didn't even touch Roy's clothes.

The ghost nurse looked horrified upon seeing this.

If the previous kick was due to the nurse ghost underestimating her opponent, then the fact that Roy easily broke through her formation this time shows that Roy's strength is far superior to hers.

Then, the female ghost nurse opened her mouth and let out a scream.

At this moment, Roy noticed that the nurse ghost's tongue was only half-finished, which explained why she hadn't spoken.

Whether a ghost can speak after death is usually influenced by its life before death.

Characters like Sadako and Kayako were unable to speak after death due to reasons related to their lives, while Francesca was able to speak normally.

However, not being able to speak doesn't mean not being able to make sounds. Right now, the nurse ghost's screams are quite loud, echoing throughout the entire mental hospital.

"Shut up!"

Roy rushed to the female ghost nurse and slapped her to the ground with a palm imbued with spiritual power.

Xiao Di, who was watching from behind, looked disappointed.

"Ouch! Roy hit too hard! What if he ruins your face?"

The freshman next to him looked at Xiao Di with a serious expression.

"What are you looking at? Such a beautiful female ghost, aren't you interested?"

The new students quickly shook their heads to show their attitude; ultimately, only a minority of men wanted to become undead knights.

But at this moment, Xiao Di and the new students felt the temperature around them drop sharply again, turning from somewhat cold to extremely cold.

"Why is it so cold? Could it be a cold front from the Rocky Mountains?"

The sudden chill made Xiao Di thirsty. He took out the mineral water bottle from his pocket and found that the water had frozen.

This means that the ambient temperature has reached zero degrees Celsius.

"Waterfalk?"

Roy also sensed the change in his surroundings. Combined with the nurse ghost's screams, something else had probably been summoned. It was most likely the evil spirit lord; this nurse ghost was no match for Francesca, so she was clearly not the evil spirit lord controlling this mental hospital.

Then everyone heard a heavy breathing sound, like the sound of someone struggling to breathe on a ventilator.

At the same time, a putrid smell wafted over, causing Xiao Di to instinctively cover his mouth.

"Damn it! What is this smell? It stinks even worse than my brother's socks that haven't been washed in a year!"

This way of describing it made the freshman next to him, who was already feeling uncomfortable, vomit on the spot.

"Fuck! Couldn't you have used a different way of describing it? This description is just too true!"

The next second, a tall and burly figure appeared in the distance, and the stench and the sound of breathing emanated from this guy.

Roy pinned the female ghost nurse to the ground, preventing her from escaping, his gaze fixed intently on the figure in the distance.

Through the dark vision of the ghost wolf form, Roy discovered that it was the image of a doctor with wrinkled skin covered in stitches and many strange devices on his body.

This guy has clearly begun to transform from an evil spirit into a demon; it's already evident that he possesses a physical form.

It's not easy for an evil spirit to become a demon. This kind of evolution is much more difficult than a human becoming a demon, simply because it lacks a physical body.

(The Satanic doctor in "House of 1000 Corpses")
This body is most likely the female ghost nurse at his feet, stitched together from different corpses, because Roy saw that there were many inconsistencies between the guy's limbs and torso.

"Human, let her go!"

The doctor commanded Roy in a low voice.

"Okay!"

Roy gave a cold laugh, then suddenly drew his Smith & Wesson M629 and fired a shot at the female ghost nurse on the ground.

After being possessed by Francesca, M629 became a special weapon, firing bullets that could directly kill spirits, similar to the effect of the cursed daggers.

So, the female ghost nurse was shot in the head by Roy on the spot.

Xiao Di clutched his head and let out a regretful sigh.

"Sigh, what a pity about such a beautiful female ghost!"

The freshmen around him looked speechless.

"You've had enough!"

The female ghost nurse clearly had an unusual relationship with the doctor in front of him, so after Roy executed the female ghost nurse in front of him, the doctor immediately turned red.

"I am going to kill you!"

The surrounding furniture and corpses on the ground seemed to come alive, attacking Roy frantically.

However, this attack obviously couldn't harm Roy. With a leisurely stroll, Roy deflected the attack and walked towards the doctor.

"That's it?"

Roy's contemptuous words struck the doctor's heart like a hammer, making him even angrier.

Then, in a fit of extreme anger, the doctor actually opened his own skull, an act that caught everyone off guard.

Lift it, lift your skull, let me see your brain?

But the next second, a strange light emanated from the doctor's head, making everyone's eyes appear as if they had been filtered through a filter, becoming eerie and bizarre.

At the same time, the doctor in the distance also disappeared, and even with the Eye of Truth activated, the doctor's location could not be seen.

Roy guessed that this was some kind of mental attack, seemingly affecting his mental state directly through brainwaves.

Therefore, even with the Eye of Truth, it was impossible to see the doctor's location. Fortunately, Roy's Willpower attribute was as high as 84 points, so ordinary illusions could not affect his thinking ability.

Xiao Di and the new student, who were hiding in the operating room, started swaying around like they were drunk.

How did this world start to turn upside down?

"Yes, and they've turned bright red. What's wrong with us?"

Then, in the blink of an eye, the doctor, who was missing a piece of his skull, suddenly appeared behind the two of them and grabbed them.

"go to hell!"

It seems this doctor is planning to target the weakest link first.

However, Roy also possesses mobility skills. He used the Ghost Wolf's explosive power to kick the doctor, sending him flying.

The force of the kick was terrifying. Xiao Di and the freshman both heard the sound of air being cut, but due to the illusion, they thought it was just an ordinary sound.

However, the doctor's body was almost blown apart by the kick; the sutures on his body cracked to varying degrees, and his body was clearly no longer stable.

However, this was after Roy had stopped using his full strength!

If Roy were to launch a full-force attack with 112 power, he could instantly unleash an airburst, which would definitely injure Xiao Di and Xin Sheng. Therefore, Roy chose to hold back his attack.

Roy was about to press his advantage when he discovered that the doctor had vanished again, and he could no longer sense him.

This is a bit outrageous. Is this doctor also a follower of Belial and using the same set of sensory deceptions?
But upon closer reflection, it seems that the doctor's special ability only came about after opening the skull and unleashing a mental attack.

Perhaps this was done by interfering with Roy's brainwaves, making him mistakenly believe that the doctor had disappeared, when in fact the guy was still in the same place.

After thinking it through, Roy immediately activated the Hound Ring.

Roy's brain would be affected, but the phantoms of the hellhounds wouldn't, because they don't have brains at all.

Hellhound Phantom: I feel like I've been insulted.

The phantom of the hellhound sniffed the air and located the doctor's position. Sure enough, the guy hadn't disappeared; he was right next to where Roy had just lost track of him.

Then, Roy gathered his strength and unleashed an airburst towards the direction of the Hellhound phantom.

boom!
Before the doctor could even let out a scream, Roy smashed his body to pieces.

With the source of the mental attack gone, the filters on Roy and the other two's eyes completely disappeared, and their vision returned to normal.

However, the doctor is not dead. He was originally an undead, and what Roy destroyed was only his body.

After reverting to his ghost form, the guy immediately tried to escape through the wall, but Roy had already taken out the Cursed Hair and put it around his neck, pulling him back like an Indian.

Doctor: It's really hard to feel the skull!
Finally, Roy Smith Wesson fired a burst of M629 at the Doctor, and then Francesca devoured the Doctor's weakened soul after the bullets struck, in order to obtain the guy's treasure chest.

[Ding! You have obtained the Demon Doctor's Treasure Chest! Open it?]

"finished?"

Xiao Di was only just coming to his senses; everything that had happened before felt like a dream.

Roy observed the surrounding environment; the temperature seemed to have risen, and the eerie fog had disappeared.

"It should be over."

At that moment, Harry's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Hello? Can you hear me? If you can, please reply, I'm begging you!"

Judging from Harry's voice, he sounded like he was about to cry. He must have been on the verge of a breakdown because no one had responded to him in the mental hospital.

"This is Roy Black. I've resolved the issues at the mental hospital."

"Thank goodness! Finally someone answered me!"

Then, the people on the other side of the lobby heard the walkie-talkie start talking as well.

But the last woman's voice drowned out the others; it was Saltana's voice.

"Quiet! Roy, what's the situation inside?"
