American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 505 Return to Waterfall Town

Roy was surprised to find himself in room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel.

It turns out that room 1408 is indeed a passage connecting several spaces. When Roy entered the room, he discovered that it was not only connected to the Spirit Book Prison, but also to the Rotten Swamp.

Roy now suspects that Beelzebub came to Los Angeles through this room.

However, this is actually a good thing, as the Los Angeles FEA branch is located in the basement of the Dolphin Hotel, so Roy can go directly to Gerald and Saltana.

The only slightly uncomfortable thing was that Roy felt a strong sense of rejection as soon as he returned to Earth. His current attributes were far too high, far exceeding the range that Earth could bear.

In response, Roy could only suppress his attributes, reducing his six-dimensional attributes to the Earth's maximum tolerance of 200 points; otherwise, he would be unable to move an inch.

After finally resolving the attribute issue, Roy found the rest of the Dolphin Hotel in a mess when he left room 1408.

It was like getting a free purchase!

In Los Angeles, zero-dollar shopping is a long-standing tradition, and it didn't just become popular 20 years later. Several large-scale zero-dollar shopping events took place as early as the 1980s and 1990s.

Black people living in Los Angeles have taken advantage of earthquakes and protests to launch such unique activities.

This is a rare entertainment activity that can involve the entire city.

Yes, it's very lively.

The problem is that the Dolphin Hotel is FEA territory, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency is a government agency with firearms. How could anyone possibly be interested in buying it for free here?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, Roy smelled a strong stench of decay, which must have come from a rotting corpse.

Roy frowned and walked toward the source of the smell. He saw a half-human figure dressed as a waiter crawling on the ground with difficulty.

It was truly half a person; the waiter's lower body was nowhere to be seen, and he was crawling on his upper body, dragging a long, wet leg.

This guy is obviously dead, and has been dead for a while.

"Strange, how could this happen?"

At first, Roy thought this guy was one of those resurrected dead, but upon closer inspection, he realized that this guy had no soul at all.

This does not fit the scenario of resurrection from the dead that occurs in the Spirit Book Prison.

The phrase "to die and be resurrected" actually refers to the ghosts in the Hell of Spirits returning to their human bodies.

Roy quickly disposed of the dead man, then took out a satellite phone to try and contact Saltana.

"Hello, Sister Saltana, this is Roy."

"Roy? It really is you! Oh my god, you're finally back?"

"Yes, I'm back. I'm at the Dolphin Hotel now. Where are you?"

"I'm in the underground base of the Dolphin Hotel. Come to the garage right now!"

"I see."

The elevator was broken, so Roy had to go downstairs via the stairwell.

As Roy passed through the lobby, he saw a scene of utter chaos in the hotel lobby, where a large number of soulless zombies roamed.

It's certain that a lot happened on Earth during Roy's time in Hell.

In the underground parking garage of the Dolphin Hotel, Saltana opened the entrance to the FEA base for Roy.

"Roy, I knew you'd come back!"

A haggard-looking Saltana gave Roy a big hug as soon as they met, as if she wanted to release all the longing she had felt over the past two years.

"Sister Saltana, it's alright now!"

Amidst the strange looks from the other agents at the base, Roy carried Saltana into the base.

As you can see, there are only a few people left in the FEA's underground base, and Saltana herself only has a dozen or so agents.

This made Roy very curious about what had happened in Los Angeles.

However, Saltana is currently very agitated, so Roy can only wait until she calms down before asking her questions.

After a few minutes, Saltana's emotions finally calmed down a bit, and then she began to tell Roy what had happened on Earth while he was away.

"A year after you disappeared, a peculiar epidemic suddenly broke out in major cities around the world. At first, no one realized the severity of the problem, but then those severely infected began to turn into something like zombies, frantically attacking everyone around them. Countries suspected that some countries were using biological weapons, and thus a nuclear war broke out. Fortunately, the nuclear bombs were mainly aimed at the East Coast, and California was not affected."

But soon drought, famine, and a zombie apocalypse swept across the entire West Coast, and those who had risen from the dead began attacking the living. Now the federal government is completely paralyzed, and I can only eke out a living in the FEA underground base.

Roy hadn't expected that so much would have happened on Earth in just two years.

It's not hard to deduce from Saltana's words that all four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have made their appearance.

Nuclear war was likely influenced by the War Knights, drought and famine were definitely caused by the Famine Knights, the zombie crisis was clearly the work of the Plague Knights, and the black light that resurrected the dead was definitely the work of the Death Knights.

This means that humanity's fate has entered its countdown.

Roy comforted Saltana.

"Sister Saltana, as long as I'm here, everything will be alright! By the way, have you contacted anyone else?"

Saltana nodded.

"The situation in Texas is relatively good; Lilith and Dorothy have joined forces to protect Falls. But we haven't heard from Jennifer and Nydy for a year. The last time I contacted them, they were still on the East Coast."

The East Coast, wouldn't that be within range of a nuclear strike?

Roy immediately tensed up.

"Could something have happened to them?"

"Probably not! I asked Dorothy, and she said she consulted the Spirit Police, who didn't see Jennifer and the others' souls! I think it's possible that they're trapped in some shelter because of the nuclear war!"

This possibility still exists. After all, the radiation from nuclear weapons can last for many years, and no one will leave a safe haven unless absolutely necessary.

In an underground shelter, it would be very difficult to contact the outside world.

Because nuclear weapons would destroy all ground communication equipment, and the resulting radioactive fallout would also hinder the effectiveness of satellite communication equipment.

"What about the others?"

"The others? You mean Elena and Anya? They're in Falls Town too."

"Where are Nardia and Astrid?"

Roy hadn't forgotten the instructions from the Spirit Book Prison immigration officer, but those words seemed to trigger strange associations in Saltana.

"Huh? You also have a relationship with them, mother and daughter?"

“Sister Saltana, you’ve misunderstood! I met Lydia’s deceased husband in the Prison of Spirits, and he asked me to inquire about Lydia and Astrid’s situation.”

After much persuasion, Saltana finally believed Roy's words.

"I guess they're in the basement of the Zangie Vicky bar, which is one of the safest places in Los Angeles."

Indeed, with a countess-level vampire like Archina around, there's nothing to fear, not even zombies or resurrected dead.

"Sister Saltana, I need to deliver a message to Lydia and Astrid, and then I need to find Jennifer and Neddy. If you need anything, you can silently say my name in your mind." As he spoke, Roy had already left his mark on Saltana's back. With this mark as an anchor point, Roy could use teleportation to instantly teleport to her side.

Roy's plan was to first confirm the safety of the women on the West Coast, then deliver a message to Lydia and Astrid, next find the Spirit Police's ultimate weapon, and finally go to the East Coast to find Jennifer and the others.

"Roy, are you leaving already?"

Saltana felt a pang of reluctance at the thought of having to part ways with Roy so soon after their reunion.

"Sister Saltana, I'm going back to Earth soon, so we'll have plenty of time to spend together from now on!"

Hearing Roy say this, Saltana had no choice but to put aside her longing.

"Roy, I'll be waiting for you here!"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be in this cramped underground place waiting for me. Would you be interested in taking these agents out of Los Angeles and heading to Falls?"

Upon hearing this, Saltana's eyes widened.

"Is that okay? Los Angeles is over a thousand kilometers away from Falls!"

"It's just a minor issue."

With Roy's current strength, teleporting to Waterfall Town or even the moon wouldn't be a problem for him.

Saltana quickly discussed the matter with the remaining FEA agents, who had been trapped in the underground base for more than half a year and would be eager to leave if they could.

"Roy, everyone agrees to go to Fallstown!"

"Alright, everyone, take your belongings and then hold my hand."

Roy held Saltana's hand, and Saltana held the hand of a female agent, so everyone held hands and eventually formed a circle with Roy.

"Close your eyes!"

The next second, Roy used teleportation to bring everyone to Fallstown.

The sudden appearance of more than a dozen people immediately caught the attention of the lookout, and the alarm was sounded in the town.

"Enemy attack!"

At this time, Fallstown was like the Western expansion era, a time when bandits and cowboys were everywhere.

In order to protect themselves, residents of small western towns often carry guns in their homes, and there are also dedicated militia and police officers responsible for sentry duty or guard duty.

Texas is one of the states with the highest gun ownership rates, with the average person owning at least three rifles, and some military enthusiasts may even have dozens of guns and tons of ammunition.

You can often see social news in America's newspapers about police officers and these military enthusiasts exchanging fire.

After the alarm sounded, a group of townspeople carrying various weapons quickly appeared, but they were all stunned when they saw Roy.

"Roy!"

One of the middle-aged men rushed out quickly; this man was Philip Black, the original owner's father.

"Dad, I'm back!"

The father and son's warm embrace immediately touched the hearts of the townspeople around them.

"Where did you run off to, you brat? And where did Jennifer and Fedie go?"

Philip had many questions for Roy, but Roy could only answer them by making up lies.

Roy didn't want to do this, but he was already from a different world than ordinary people.

Whether it was the original owner's parents or Nidi's parents, they were just ordinary people who couldn't participate in what Roy wanted to do. Knowing less might have made them happier.

After dealing with the original owner's parents and Nidi's parents, Roy saw Lilith and Dorothy.

The two ancient witches are undoubtedly the leaders of Falls Town now. It is thanks to their protection that the town has survived the encirclement of zombies and undead.

"Roy, there's something I want to tell you."

In front of the townspeople, Lilith was quite proper, but when she brought Roy to Elizabeth Manor, her true nature was immediately revealed.

"Little master, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Without saying a word, Lilith started to take off Roy's pants, seemingly trying to express her longing in this way.

Dorothy also pressed herself against Roy from behind, creating the impression of a double-team.

"Wait! What are you doing!"

Roy quickly shielded himself to prevent an accidental discharge.

Lilith knelt on the ground, biting her lip and looking at Roy with her watery eyes.

"But I really miss you!"

Do you miss me as a person, or do you miss my baby?
Roy pressed down on Lilith's head to stop her from moving.

"Now is not the time to do such things. Now that I'm back, there's plenty of time later!"

Lilith and Dorothy were finally persuaded by Roy, and the two witches obediently hugged Roy's arms on either side.

After Elizabeth returned to Hell, the manor became the residence of Lilith and Dorothy, and in addition to them, Marian Megan and Gretchen Henderson also lived there.

After being transformed into half-succubi by Adela, the two beautiful female anchors were handed over to Elizabeth by Roy.

Elizabeth removed the controlling magic from the beautiful news anchor, but the physical modifications were irreversible, so the two could no longer appear in public and could only work as maids in the manor.

"What's the situation in Waterfall Town lately?"

"everything is normal!"

With Lilith and Dorothy in charge, and two swamp witches in Sawyer Manor, it's practically impossible for ordinary zombies, undead, and dark creatures to break in unless the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse arrive in person.

"However, Isabella left a letter not long ago and then disappeared."

"Isabella?"

Roy still remembered the stubborn nun and couldn't understand why she had left.

We'll have to ask Isabella when we find her later.

“Elise, Dorothy, you continue to run Fallstown. I feel that the situation on Earth will continue to deteriorate. You must turn Fallstown into a permanent sanctuary.”

"Yes, little master!"

After handing over his tasks, Roy used his teleportation ability to teleport to the basement of the Sangeviki bar.

When Achina and her three daughters saw Roy, they were overjoyed and almost devoured him alive.

After risking his life to preserve his virginity, Roy relayed the words of the Spirit Book prison staff member to Lydia and Astrid.

Then, Roy officially began tracking down the fugitive named Milton.
