American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 405 General Trust
Archina rushed up to ask Roy.

"What happened? Is Los Angeles flooded?"

Because she came up in such a hurry, Achina wasn't dressed; she only covered her private parts with a blanket.

However, a regular blanket is only about the size of a large towel compared to Achina's figure, and it can't hide her voluptuous body at all.

Basically, it's like going upstairs with a "DuangDuangDuang" sound, which is very...shocking!
Roy stared intently at his lively, energetic baby, but his expression remained unchanged.

"The Grand Master of the Underworld has just appeared."

Upon hearing this, Achina became very angry.

"Damn it! That guy showed up? No wonder he made such a mess of Zangievik, that damned bastard!"

Roy looked at Archina's baby with surprise.

Have you seen that guy before?

Achina nodded.

“At that time I was living in Eastern Europe. Once this guy came to my castle and made it stink. I had to move out for a month to clean it up.”

I never imagined that Achina had a castle in Eastern Europe; she must be a rich woman.

"Archina, do you need me to help you tidy up?"

That lump of entrails in the bathroom was quite disgusting, and it smelled even worse when it was soaking in water.

Archina waved her hand, bit her lip, and looked at Roy with deep affection.

"I'll pack it myself! Roy, if you have something to do, you can go now."

Roy really liked Archina's non-clingy attitude, so he nodded.

"I'll come to the bar often from now on."

"My daughters and I will be waiting for your arrival at any time!"

Roy walked out of the Sangevikie bar, intending to call Lydia to ask why she had run away without a word.

As a result, all the calls went busy, as if Lydia was also on the phone with someone else.

After thinking it over, Roy decided that he might need to change his approach and not stay by Lydia's side to protect her.

The Grand Wizard of the Underworld will definitely go after Lydia again. She seems crazy, but she's actually quite cunning.

If Roy openly protected Lydia, the Grand Wizard of the Underworld might not have appeared, and Roy wouldn't have been able to stay by Lydia's side indefinitely.

Roy could have easily hidden in the shadows to monitor Lydia and waited for the Grand Wizard of the Underworld to appear before making his move.

To achieve this, you should first find Lydia and ideally leave a mark on her so that you don't need to stay by her side all the time and can find her at any time through telepathy.

After figuring it out, Roy activated the Hound Ring; Lydia shouldn't have gone too far yet.

On the other side, Lydia ran frantically for several blocks, but because she hadn't slept or eaten all night, her body couldn't keep up and she had to stop and rest.

I wanted to take out my phone to call Gerald, but I found that I had left my phone in Zangievik's bathroom.

"Damn it! I'll have to use a public phone!"

In those days, America had many public phone booths. Soon Lydia found the nearest one, went inside, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a few coins.

Just as Lydia inserted the coin into the slot and dialed the number, she saw a familiar, handsome man standing outside the phone booth.

Lydia's eyes widened, her whole body stiffened, and the phone receiver slipped from her hand.

"You, don't come over!"

This is like a weak young girl about to be violated by a bad person, drawing strange looks from those around her.

It's noon now, and there are still quite a few people on the street. Some kind-hearted passersby have even started taking out their phones to call the police.

Roy rolled his eyes, roughly opened the door of the public phone booth, and dragged Lydia out of it.

"What are you doing? Why are you suddenly running away?"

"You, you monster! Let me go!"

Lydia struggled fiercely and even kicked Roy, which made the people around her unable to stand it anymore, and they all came over to try to stop Roy.

Roy immediately pulled out his ID and showed it to the other person.

"FEA investigation, this woman is a fugitive, I need to take her away!"

Roy was too handsome and spoke with an air of righteousness. In addition, Lydia's clothes were indeed rather strange, so those who wanted to help immediately hesitated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Roy pulled Lydia into a deserted alley.

Lydia looked at Roy with fear, as if she was truly terrified of him.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so afraid of me?"

"You, you are a demon!"

Roy slapped his forehead, realizing that Lydia had seen his demonic form.

In the minds of ordinary people, demons are symbols of evil, so Roy tries his best not to transform in front of others, unless it is someone he trusts.

Lydia has clearly misunderstood.

"Would you believe me if I said I was a kind devil?"

Lydia shook her head repeatedly, clearly not believing it.

Understanding this issue thoroughly is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.

"Come on, I can prove it to you, but we have to find a secluded place first."

Lydia's eyes widened.

"I'm not going! You're definitely trying to lure me to a secluded place to kill me and silence me!"

Roy rolled his eyes and pulled out his Smith & Wesson M500.
"Even if we're not in a deserted place, I can kill you without any problem. I have a gun!"

With so many shootings happening every day in America, the death of a middle-aged woman would go completely unnoticed.

Lydia was terrified when she saw the huge revolver in Roy's hand. Her fighting ability was only slightly better than that of an ordinary woman, and she could be easily dealt with by either fists or bullets.

"What do you want?! Please, just let me go!"

Just then, Roy's phone rang. Roy took out his phone and saw that it was Archina's number.

"Hey, Archina, what's up?"

"I found a cell phone in the bathroom, it looks like Lydia's. Is she with you now?"

Roy looked at Lydia.

“She’s right here with me. I’m taking her back now.”

After hanging up the phone, Roy pulled Lydia back to the Sangevik Bar.

Lydia tried to struggle, but Roy pressed the muzzle of his M500 against her back, which finally made her behave.

Back at the Sangeviki bar, Archina, now dressed, returned Lydia's phone to her.

"It's been soaked in water, I don't know if it still works. Luckily, a phone call came in just now, otherwise I wouldn't have found this phone."

Lydia looked at Archina and Roy with trepidation, then took the phone like a quail.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Archina found Lydia's reaction quite strange.

"What's wrong with her?" "She peeked at our game this morning and saw my demon identity."

Upon hearing this, Achina burst into laughter.

"Lydia, you don't actually think Roy is a bad guy, do you? He's a hero who personally sent several demon kings of hell back to hell!"

Roy looked at Archina in surprise. This female vampire was really well-informed. He wondered where she got the information that he had fought against the Demon King.

Not counting Mammon's incident, the King of Greed's troubles happened in Los Angeles, so it's normal that Archina would know about it through her connections.

However, the matter of dealing with Samael, Asmodeus, and Leviathan was kept very secret.

Especially regarding Asmodeus's incident, only Delassa should know about it, but Roy believes Delassa won't tell anyone.

Lydia still didn't believe it; people only believe what they see. She now believed that Archina was Roy's accomplice and that the two were plotting to destroy the world.

Roy rolled his eyes again. It seemed there was only one way to gain Lydia's trust: to transform into an angel.

"Archina, step back a little, so you don't get hurt!"

Archina obediently retreated to the entrance of the basement, and then Roy transformed into his eight-winged angel form.

Lydia looked incredulous upon seeing Roy in his angelic form.

"This is impossible! How could you possibly be an angel!"

And she was a pure white angel!
It should be understood that pure white angels refer to righteous angels who have not violated the laws of Heaven, and the laws of Heaven are completely objective and idealistic.

If an angel does something against the laws of Heaven, then he will become a fallen angel, and his wings will turn black like Lucifer's.

"The facts are right in front of you, Lydia, are you still stubbornly clinging to your delusions?"

Roy stood on four halos, his whole body shimmering with golden light, like a god.

Lydia was speechless and could only stammer as she repeated her conclusion.

"But, but I saw you transform into a demon..."

"I am a hybrid of angel and demon, capable of transforming into two forms, but I stand on the side of humanity!"

Roy made his stance clear, and Lydia fell silent.

"Okay, maybe I misunderstood you."

Lydia was still somewhat hesitant, but at least she was no longer afraid of Roy.

Roy knew it would be very difficult to gain Lydia's complete trust in a short time, so he didn't say anything more.

"Let's talk about the plan to capture that guy!"

Lydia looked at Roy in surprise.

"I just saw you tie that guy up. Did he run away?"

Roy nodded helplessly.

"That guy's abilities are very strange; I wasn't paying attention and he got away."

Roy had never encountered an enemy like the Underworld Archmage before. His abilities seemed outrageous, but they always managed to produce results.

They're somewhat like characters from a comedy animation; their abilities fluctuate wildly, completely defying the laws of physics, and they're all about doing whatever they want.

If you don't understand the rules, it's difficult to deal with this kind of character.

Yes, characters in animated comedies also have their own rules of conduct.

For example, in "Tom and Jerry", the characters can fly indefinitely as long as they don't look down, but if they realize they are in the air, they will fall down.

"Then what are you going to do?"

“I feel he can’t beat me in a head-on fight, so as long as I’m by your side, he’s unlikely to show up. In order to capture him as soon as possible, I want to leave a mark on you and then use the mark to protect your safety remotely.”

"A brand? A demonic brand?"

Lydia, as a medium, also knew about the concept of branding.

Those who are branded are basically slaves of the devil, so Lydia doesn't really want to be branded.

"Isn't there a way to change it?"

"Lydia, I don't have that much time to stay by your side and protect you. Or you can think of other ways. If it's feasible, I can accept your plan."

Lydia gritted her teeth and racked her brains, but she really didn't have a good solution, otherwise she wouldn't have been driven to the brink of a mental breakdown by the Grand Wizard of the Underworld.

"Alright! But after you catch that guy, you absolutely have to remove this brand from me!"

Roy rolled his eyes for the third time.

"Can you please stop being so gullible! What could I possibly want from a middle-aged woman like you? As long as I catch him, I'll remove the brand from you immediately, not a minute longer!"

Upon hearing this, Lydia was initially a little angry. She thought she looked pretty good and had taken excellent care of herself for her age.

But compared to Achina and her three daughters...

It does seem quite different!
"I see!"

Next, Roy branded Lydia's back, which required her cooperation, otherwise the branding could not be completed.

After the brand is drawn and the contract is established, Roy can remotely observe the situation around Lydia.

"Alright, you can leave now. If anything happens, just call my name in your heart, understand?"

Lydia nodded.

At that moment, Archina, who was hiding at the basement entrance, suddenly spoke.

"Lydia, aren't you going to look at the phone that just called your cell phone?"

Lydia then remembered that she hadn't returned a call, and just then her phone rang again.

However, because the phone was submerged in water, Lydia couldn't hear anything after answering the call, probably because the phone's earpiece was malfunctioning.

Lydia was a little anxious because she saw that the number displayed on the screen was from her daughter's boarding school.

Because Lydia's husband died early, her daughter lacked fatherly love from a young age and had a rather eccentric personality.

In order to correct her daughter's personality and to help her work better in Los Angeles, Lydia left her daughter Astrid in a boarding church school in her hometown of Acton.

Normally, the school wouldn't call Lydia, so if they did, something must have happened to Astrid.

"Achina, could I borrow your shop's phone?"

"Please do as you wish."

Achina did not refuse, and seeing that things were almost done, she went to clean up on her own.

Sangeviki Bar has been turned into a mess by the Underworld Archmage, and Archina is in for a lot of trouble.

“Hello, is this Sister Meryl? This is Lydia Foster. Did you just call me? My phone got wet and broke, so I can't hear you! Yes…yes…what did you say! I'll be in Acton as soon as possible!”

After hanging up the phone, Lydia looked at Roy.

"Mr. Black, I may have to go to Acton!"

"what's going on?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lydia explained the situation to Roy.

"My daughter Astrid has been fighting with others at school multiple times and may have to be expelled!"
