American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 447 Freddy's Ambition
In the dream world, Freddie, whose consciousness returns to the dream, excitedly rubs his hands together like a fly.

"It's all set! Roy Black will definitely be looking for us in his dreams, and our job will be done soon."

Michael Miles, Jason, Leatherface: -.

"Can you say something or give any response?"

Michael Miles, Jason, Leatherface: -.

Freddie slapped his face, feeling like he was talking to a brick wall.

No, if you play the lute to a cow, at least the cow will wag its tail, though not because of the music, but to shoo away flies.

But Michael, Jason, and Leatherface really didn't react at all, and didn't show any expression.

Well, of the four major killers in horror movies, only one has a mouth!

"Aaaaah! By the King of Gluttony, please end this torture for me!"

Michael Miles, Jason, Leatherface: -.

"Alright, you guys can just stay out of here! I need to get ready to give Roy Black a little surprise!"

He rubbed his hands together, and Freddy's body rapidly grew larger, becoming like a Titan.

"Hahaha! Let Uncle play a fun game with you!"

As they spoke, the world in the dream began to change drastically, transforming into a giant amusement park.

Those forced into this world can only watch in panic as things change around them, but they can do nothing about it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and those whose gender we don't know! Welcome to Uncle Freddy's playground! Enjoy the last moments of your lives!"

Freddie's maniacal laughter filled the entire world, terrifying the people in the amusement park, and a feeling called fear began to spread in the dream world.

However, there are exceptions.

"That's disgusting laughter!"

Claire made a gagging face, while Ashley and Meryl beside her looked worried.

"Claire, is it still impossible to leave the dream world?"

The three girls had a pretty good idea that they were in a dream world, but knowing it was one thing and being able to solve it was another.

Clarrie was quite helpless about Mary's problem. She had only been studying with Elise for a little over a month and could barely be considered a combat nun. Her main way of dealing damage was to transform through her bloodline, so there was nothing she could do.

Claire isn't like Roy, who has cheat codes. She's only been in this world for a year, yet she's already leveled up from a sports student to the peak of a demon lord, just one step away from becoming a demon king.

"Then what should we do now?"

Mary looked at Ashley, hoping she could give her an answer.

Ashley spread her hands, her expression similar to Claire's.

"What else can I do? In this situation, all we can do is wait for Roy to come and save us! I believe he will come!"

Ashley has been saved by Roy in dangerous situations several times, so she has a lot of faith in him.

Claire agreed, clenching her fist and giving herself a pep talk.

"Don't worry, with me here, we'll definitely hold out until Roy comes to our rescue!"

Upon hearing this, Meili was speechless.

Why do I feel even less confident after listening to your encouragement?

"Oh dear! Melly, why don't you believe me? I've been studying with Teacher Elise for over a month and have learned quite a few divine spells!"

"Do you mean those white orbs of light that only emit illumination? Or those small white flames?"

Meily rarely made a comment; she must have seen Claire use divine magic.

Claire quickly offered an explanation.

"You don't understand! This kind of divine magic only works on dark creatures; it has no effect on ordinary people!"

"Alright, alright! You two stop arguing. Let's take a look at the situation around us."

Mary and Claire finally shut up, left the room they had been in, and checked the situation outside.

Previously, the dream world where the three of them were located was similar to a huge ironworks, which was also Freddy's favorite place.

In the earlier installments of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, the protagonist would often dream of such scenes: barbed wire, molten iron, and loud mechanical noises, which always evoked feelings of unease.

But things are different now. The ironworks has been transformed into an enormous amusement park, seemingly larger than Disneyland, so much so that even with over a thousand people scattered throughout, it feels incredibly spacious.

In the center of the amusement park, a huge factory stands tall, and the three girls can see smoke billowing from its chimneys.

"Other amusement parks have castles at their center, but this one has a factory? Are they trying to get kids to work in a factory before they even realize it?"

When Claire saw the factory, she couldn't help but complain, and Merry chimed in.

“What’s so strange about that? America is the only country in the world that has not signed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, so employing child labor in America is not illegal.”

As expected of someone who studied law, Mary silenced Claire and Ashley with just one sentence.

Ashley could only express her feelings with a swear word.

"Fuck the federal government!"

Claire glanced at Ashley.

“Swearing is wrong, but fuck the federal government!”

Meili nodded as well.

"Fuck the federal government!"

Well, in America, the best way to quickly build relationships is to criticize the federal government together.

As long as we all criticize the federal government together, then we're all brothers and sisters.

After the federal government was overthrown, the three girls' relationship indeed became even more harmonious.

Especially Claire and Ashley, the two of them hadn't had much contact before.

Merry is actually the link between the two, because she is best friends with Claire and has played ranked games with Ashley.

At that moment, several people suddenly ran over from a distance as if they were going crazy.

What are they running for?

Mei Li found it a little strange.

"Why don't you just ask?"

Ashley was quite bold; she shouted directly at the fleeing people.

"Hey, what are you guys running for?"

The fleeing people heard Ashley's voice, and some of the kinder ones answered her as they ran.

"Run! There's a madman behind us with a chainsaw, killing people everywhere!"

"A madman who kills indiscriminately?"

The three girls exchanged glances, wondering what was going on, when they heard the piercing sound of a chainsaw engine.

A burly man with a burlap sack over his head, leaving only his eyes visible, walked over carrying a chainsaw. This guy was none other than Leatherface, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre killer!

Leatherface was covered in entrails and blood; those people must have been trying to avoid him.

"He seems to have spotted us! Run!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Ashley immediately tried to pull Meryl and Claire away, but while she managed to pull Meryl along, she couldn't pull Claire.

"Hmph! This time I'm going to prove my strength, just you wait and see!" Claire seemed to want to prove that her more than a month of learning from Elise hadn't been in vain, so instead of running away, she stood still, preparing to unleash her divine magic.

Ashley and Mary, having run a few steps, had no choice but to stop and wait for Claire.

Claire muttered incantations and soon released a ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball, which flew towards Leatherface.

If it were the same leather-faced guy Roy had encountered before, he would probably have been dealt with by this ball of light by now.

However, this version of Leatherface has been enhanced by Gluttony King, so the exploding orb of light only made him stagger.

"How could this be?"

Claire was shocked, and refusing to believe it, she unleashed the Holy Fire Divine Art again.

The Olympic flame did ignite Leatherface's clothes, but it quickly went out.

Claire's eyes widened; her eyes were already large, but now they looked almost as big as duck eggs.

"move!"

Ashley grabbed the stunned Claire and ran in the direction the others had fled.

Leatherface, still carrying the chainsaw, followed behind at a leisurely pace.

The three girls hadn't run far when they discovered that the people who had run away earlier had returned.

Why did you all come back again?

A middle-aged man answered Ashley's question.

"Up ahead, there's a guy wearing a hockey mask and wielding a machete killing people!"

"Huh? Then where do we run to?"

At this point, the crowd was in a panic and rushed into a circus tent they saw.

Ashley and the others didn't think much of it and followed.

Upon entering the circus tent, Ashley discovered that the path she had taken to enter had vanished, and a brick wall blocked the entrance to the circus tent.

Everyone heard Freddie's deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to Freddie's Circus! Don't just stand there, come in and take your seats!"

There were about fifty people present, but none of them dared to move when they heard Freddie's voice.

"Seriously, do I have to drag you in? Fine, the customer is always right, so come on in!"

Freddie snapped his fingers, and everyone was instantly pulled into the performance tent, where they were all tied up and made to sit in chairs.

Some of the more timid people screamed.

"Quiet!"

Freddie, dressed in a tuxedo and looking like a master of ceremonies, made a zipping motion, and the screaming crowd immediately fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The performance is about to begin, why don't you give us some applause?"

Freddie snapped his fingers again, and a wooden cross appeared above everyone's head. Strings hanging from the crosses were attached to people's bodies, controlling them to start clapping.

Freddie bowed deeply to everyone with great seriousness, then continued speaking.

"Thank you all for your kind applause, I'm so touched! The performance will begin immediately! The first show is an animal training performance!"

Freddie clapped his hands, and then hoops of fire, balance beams, and colorful balls—props commonly used in animal training shows—appeared on the stage.

"Let's welcome our first performing guest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one person disappeared from the audience, and that person appeared directly on the stage.

"Uuuuuuu..."

The man was terrified, but he couldn't make a sound.

Freddie looked at the people on the stage with a kind expression, but his expression was strange.

"My friend, what's your name? Don't you like to talk? Then I'll just call you Peppa Pig for now!"

As he said this, Freddie snapped his fingers for the third time, and the person in front of him instantly turned into a chubby pink pig.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! The first performance will be by Mr. Peppa Pig. Let's give him a round of applause!"

The crowd was forced to applaud again.

"Peppa Pig, let's begin, jump over that fire hoop."

Freddy blinked at Peppa Pig, but with his short legs, he dared not jump through the fire hoop and could only squeak in panic.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Peppa Pig, Uncle Freddy is going to get angry if you do that!"

Upon hearing this, the little pig just kept backing away.

Freddie got angry and suddenly produced a whip with barbs, which he used to lash the pig.

"Didn't you understand that I told you to jump through the ring of fire?"

Piglet was whipped until his skin was torn and bleeding, and could only run around on the stage. However, there seemed to be invisible walls at the edge of the stage, and no matter what he did, he could not escape Freddy's attack range.

Finally, the little pig had no choice but to rush up the slope and try to jump over the ring of fire.

If nothing unexpected happened, something definitely went wrong. The little pig's short legs couldn't jump over the fire hoop, and its body got caught on the hoop and instantly caught fire.

The pig let out a bloodcurdling scream, and soon the audience smelled a burnt aroma, tears streaming down their faces... What a load of rubbish!

Who has the mind to drool at a time like this?

The burning lasted for several minutes, and the burning speed in the dream noticeably increased.

When the piglet died completely, it reverted to human form, and its death was extremely tragic.

Freddie shook his head and sighed.

"What a pity, it seems Peppa Pig isn't very lucky! So who will be the next lucky guest?"

Next, Freddie randomly selected two unlucky guests, who were transformed into a hedgehog and a capybara, both short-legged animals with poor jumping ability, and naturally ended up being burned to death.

Everyone present could see that Freddie wanted to torture them.

Freddie stepped to the front of the stage and tipped his hat to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Next up is a magic show! Where's the applause? Give us some applause!"

Everyone was forced to applaud.

Freddie clapped his hands, and the stage changed again, revealing magic props such as a magic box, a magic hat, and a cage.

“Excellent! Next, I will invite two special guests, who are none other than the girlfriends of the famous Roy Black!”

Ashley and Meryl stared wide-eyed; neither of them had expected to hear Roy's name from Freddie's mouth.

Freddie snapped his fingers twice, and Ashley and Meryl appeared on stage. One of them was tied to a Russian roulette wheel, and the other was stuffed into a magic box, with only her head sticking out.

"Hmm—where should we start the performance? It's so hard to choose! Maybe we should ask the audience?"

Freddie snapped his fingers again, and two buttons appeared next to everyone.

"The left button represents Russian roulette, and the right button represents the magic box. Let's make our choices!"

A few minutes later, everyone was forced to press the button.

"Oh dear, it seems everyone wants to see the magic box! Well then, I'm sorry, Ms. Hill!"
