American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town
Chapter 488 Signs of the End of the World
Chapter 488 Signs of the End of the World
While Roy was being relentlessly exploited by Belial and Elareza, a huge change was taking place on Earth, mainly due to the incident at the cabin in the woods.
When Jennifer and Nydy entered the underground base, they found it filled with blood and mangled corpses.
Fortunately, most of the monsters in the underground base had already escaped, meaning the monsters encountered on the surface were gone.
However, the ladies were very careful and did avoid some dangers, since some monsters don't like to wander around.
During their search, the ladies found a dying red toad. They didn't recognize Rhett, but Rhett recognized them.
"Jennifer Morgan and Nedy Lesnicki?"
The ladies were still very wary of encountering a talking toad-man, especially since this guy immediately called out Jennifer and Nydy's names.
"who are you?"
The red-haired toad let out a soft laugh.
"You may have heard my name before. My name is Reed."
Jennifer and Nydy had indeed heard of the name before; Roy had mentioned to them that there was a person named Red in the Cabin organization.
"I remember you should be human, how did you become like this?"
The red-haired toad gave a wry smile.
"This is all my own fault."
"Can you tell me what happened inside this base?"
"It was I who released those monsters and destroyed this base."
Upon hearing this, Jennifer frowned.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Heh, of course, it's to end all of this!"
The red-haired toad's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, as if it had a strong tendency toward self-destruction.
It's clear that now that Red is in this state, he can no longer reintegrate into normal society. For the rest of his life, he will either have to hide like a real toad or be captured by some organization and experimented on.
That's why Red returned to the cabin and the organization wanted to destroy everything.
Jennifer and Nydy exchanged a glance, understanding what Reed was thinking.
"I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. After the sacrifice fails, the thing sealed underground will be released."
"What's sealed? What's being sealed?"
Nidi quickly pressed for more information.
However, the red-haired toad was clearly on its deathbed, and its voice was growing weaker and weaker.
"That's enough to destroy humanity..."
"Finish what you have to say!"
Claire rushed forward anxiously to try and heal Reid, but he had already transformed himself into a dark creature through black magic, and holy light would only hasten his death; there was no way to heal him.
The ladies could only watch helplessly as the red-haired toad died.
"What should we do now?"
Heather looked at Jennifer. Among the people present, Jennifer was the strongest fighter and also had good judgment. She had become the one who made decisions among the ladies.
"Let's hide in this base until dawn."
As soon as Jennifer finished speaking, the base began to shake violently.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
The violent shaking forced everyone to grab onto a fixed object to avoid falling.
Niddy thought of what Reed had just said.
"Could it be that the thing that person just mentioned is about to come out?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the ladies heard the sound of a large number of insects flapping their wings.
At first it was very slight, but as the ground vibrations intensified, the sound became increasingly piercing.
"It looks like something is flying over here!"
Heather and Penny, with their most sensitive hearing, both issued a warning at the same time!
A thick green fog flew toward their location. If one's eyesight were good enough, one would see that the fog was actually composed of very tiny insects.
This thing was clearly not a good thing, but the weapons in the ladies' hands didn't seem to be able to deal with it, and they could only be chased around by this thick green fog.
However, after running for a short while, Martin and his team started to tire, especially Julie and Dana, who were both ordinary girls with very poor physical fitness.
Ordinary people definitely can't compare to Jennifer and Neddy, who have been injected with leech serum and undergone bloodline fusion rituals.
"This can't go on! Nidi, do you have any ideas?"
Niddy frowned in thought. It was definitely impossible for them to abandon those ordinary people and run away on their own. After a moment's thought, she looked at Claire.
“Claire, maybe the two of us can create a protective barrier to stop those things.”
Claire nodded.
"You can try it!"
The two immediately transformed into angels, holding hands and creating a soft white protective barrier.
The dense green fog sparked as it collided with the protective barrier. After failing to break through the barrier, the fog changed direction and flew off to other places.
"It seems like they've left?"
Just to be on the safe side, Nydy and Claire maintained the barrier for a while longer, until the sound of flapping wings could no longer be heard before dispelling the protective barrier.
"What was that just now?"
Claire looked at Jennifer and Nydy with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know, but it's definitely something extremely dangerous!"
The wooden house went to such great lengths to build a base, and even had to perform some kind of sacrificial ritual to satisfy this thing; its power must be extremely terrifying.
Just because Nidi and Claire were able to block it with their protective barrier doesn't mean it wasn't dangerous.
"Let's find a place to rest quickly, and then leave here after dawn!"
A motorhome is driving on a deserted highway; it belongs to Jennifer and Nydy.
Inside the RV, the ladies were intently watching Nidi's laptop, which was broadcasting the latest news.
"Recently, a viral outbreak has occurred in many parts of the world. Cities such as Los Angeles, Miami, and New Orleans have already experienced outbreaks. Residents are urged to keep their doors and windows closed and avoid going out as much as possible! To avoid..."
"It sounds like we won't be able to go back to Los Angeles for the time being. What do you think, Jennifer?"
Niddy couldn't help but complain that if this wasn't ABC News, she would have thought it was some new movie promotion.
Jennifer was lost in thought, so Neddy asked her another question.
"Jennifer, what are you thinking about?"
"I was just wondering if this virus could be related to that thing that escaped from the base yesterday?"
These words made everyone fall into deep thought.
In the cabin incident, the eerie green fog disappeared without a trace, and everyone survived until dawn.
As soon as the sun came out, the dark creatures hid themselves, and everyone was able to leave the cabin in the woods without incident. At this point, the ladies naturally had no intention of continuing their climb, so after saying goodbye to Martin and the guide, they prepared to return home.
After resting for a day in Portland, I originally planned to fly directly back to Los Angeles, but I heard that all flights to Los Angeles had been suspended.
After discussing it, the ladies decided to go to Boston to find the little witch from the Apocalypse Society.
The ladies are now on their way to Boston.
"No way?"
Nidi felt a vague unease.
Just then, the satellite phone on the table rang, and Jennifer quickly picked it up and answered it.
“Hello, this is Jennifer Morgan.”
“Ms. Morgan, this is Gerald Orin. What was the purpose of your earlier call?”
After leaving the cabin in the woods where there was no signal, Jennifer immediately tried to call Gerald, but no one answered after several attempts.
Gerald didn't call back until two days later.
"Director Olin, it is indeed something important."
Jennifer briefly recounted what happened to her in the cabin in the woods.
Gerald fell silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, and it was a full five minutes before he spoke again.
"Could the dense green fog be the Plague Knight? If so, then everything that has happened recently makes sense."
"Plague Knight? Director Orin, are you referring to the Plague Knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"
Jennifer also knew some things about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from Roy.
"Yes, so far there have been three Apocalypse Knights. The War Knight from the Ravensfall incident, the Famine Knight from the San Francisco incident, and now the Plague Knight..."
Gerald was unaware that the Death Knight had also appeared and had even broken free of his cage during the San Francisco incident; otherwise, he would have definitely wanted to resign as FEA director.
The satellite phone was on speakerphone, and all the women in the RV wore serious expressions.
"Sigh, if Roy were here."
Penny sighed deeply. At times like this, she would think of her man, Roy, who seemed to be able to solve any problem.
Gerald on the other end of the phone also really wanted Roy to come back. With Roy around, he didn't know how much trouble he could have. Right now, the internal struggles within FEA were enough to give him a headache.
As mentioned before, Gerald was appointed to the position of FEA director because no one else wanted to take the blame.
As expected, Gerald was given a lot of trouble after taking office.
The cleanup of the San Francisco incident, the aftermath of the Amacham incident, and the recent virus outbreak—all of these are major problems.
The survivors in the Bay Area affected by the Famine Riders still have no solution.
Amacham became the scapegoat for the San Francisco incident and was fined an unprecedented amount by the federal government, effectively bankrupting the entire company. It is currently undergoing restructuring and reorganization, but the interests behind the company are too complex to be resolved even after a year of negotiations.
Regarding the virus incident, Gerald didn't answer the satellite phone these past two days because he went to Miami in person to check on the situation.
Without Roy or Elise, Gerald was truly outnumbered and faced constraints at every turn.
"Ms. Morgan, is there still no news from Mr. Black?"
"No news yet."
"Oh! Ms. Morgan, where are you now? I'm planning to investigate the base of that cabin organization, and I need you to guide me."
Jennifer glanced at the others.
“We are on our way to Boston. If the FEA wants to find us, they should come to Robbieshaw School for Gifted Girls (Witch Academy).
"You're going to find a witch? Why?"
"It's just a get-together with friends, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Gerald remained silent for a moment.
“There is indeed no problem, but the Federation is going through a turbulent time right now, and the Witch Association is a place that the federal government is closely monitoring, so you'd better be careful.”
Upon hearing this, Jennifer frowned slightly.
Since Gerald said that, it means that the federal government's surveillance of the Witch Coven is not only carried out by the FEA, but also by the FBI and the military.
"Is that so? We'll be more careful."
“I will send an elite agent to make contact with you. If other FEA agents contact you, you can ignore them.”
The vanguard was the only person to emerge from the central laboratory of the experimental park a year ago. Alma died physically, Paxton Fairtay was annihilated, and Roy also disappeared.
(No one knew about Reid except Roy)
After more than half a year of recuperation, the vanguard returned to his post.
Unlike the others, the elite soldier had no factions, only obeyed the director's orders, and didn't have many thoughts, so he became Gerald's only trusted subordinate at headquarters.
"Understood, we will be careful."
Jennifer's expression turned serious.
Because of a series of recent events, America has clearly become a powder keg, and even the slightest mishap could escalate into a serious incident.
However, Jennifer is not one to back down from trouble. If someone really bullies her, she will definitely fight back.
"Roy, I'll make sure this house is safe until you come back!"
Gerald hung up the phone, but the satellite phone rang again soon after.
Niddy picked up the satellite phone and glanced at it, discovering it was Lilith's number.
Since Roy went missing, Lilith and Dorothy have been staying in Fallstown. On one hand, she can contact Belial through the Hell Passage in Fallstown, and on the other hand, she can protect Roy's family.
However, the two ancient witches didn't like interacting with others much, so Jennifer and Nydy would occasionally receive calls from them.
"Hello, this is Nidi."
"Nidi, I just received a message: the end of the world is coming!"
"What did you say?"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and Jennifer quickly asked her what happened next.
"Lilith, where did you get this message from?"
"Do you remember Sister Isabella who lived on the outskirts of Falls? She used to be Michael's human form and could still receive messages from him from time to time. Just now, Isabella found Ella and told her something: Gabriel is about to descend to Earth."
Ella is the young stepmother from the Ravensfall incident, also known as the Perfect Doll. After the incident, she lived in Sawyer Manor as a housekeeper.
"Lilith, I don't quite understand, why does Gabriel's arrival on Earth mean the end of the world?"
At this point, Nydy answered Jennifer's question.
“The Book of Revelation states that Gabriel is God’s messenger who will bring the message of the end times and guide the righteous to heaven.”
"Look at the sky!"
Suddenly, Amy, who was driving the RV, seemed to have noticed something and shouted for the other ladies to look out the window.
But then the entire sky turned an unnatural blood red.
Gabriel
