American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 201 Secret
"As expected of the man who thwarted the Hell Lord's plan, it seems my overestimation of you was far from enough."

Balthazar showed up and honestly admitted to his stalking.

"Considering you found me four succubi, you'll have one sentence each. From now on, you have three sentences to speak."

Baling went to a bakery, ordered freshly baked bread, and bought a bottle of milk to have for breakfast.

"Only three sentences? Didn't I find four succubi?!" Balthazar realized his mistake and couldn't help but voice his inner complaints.

"Because I am a moral, cultured, and rice-noodle-loving person, I would never force someone who is unwilling." Baling took a sip of hot milk, tore the bread in his hand in half, and stuffed it into his mouth. "Besides, since you have at least shown some goodwill, I will give you a friendly reminder: you have one more sentence to say."

"I..." Balsazar was startled, not expecting that this was the last sentence.

Baling doesn't care about your intentions; if you dare to scheme against him, be prepared to die.

"My... lord is waiting for you!" Balsazar dared not gamble on whether he would be punched to death, and in a flash, he blurted out the most important thing.

"That sir? Quite mysterious, is he a riddle teller?"

Baling chuckled, but Balsaza dared not continue, remaining silent and anxiously awaiting Baling's reply.

The capriciousness of demons is nothing new, especially powerful demons, who often act with even greater impunity and self-centeredness.

Therefore, Balsazar would not speak again if he was unsure whether he had successfully persuaded anyone.

The reason is simple: Baling truly had enough power to instantly kill him.

Half-demons are inherently weaker than true demons, let alone when they are facing a superior demon.

Those ten-odd seconds felt incredibly long to Balsazar, as if his life had been prolonged.

"Let's go, drive."

Balzac felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly waved for a car, opened the door, and waited for Baling to get in before taking the driver's seat and driving off to their destination.

……

Arrived.

Located on the outskirts of the city, it appears to be a large, remote house.

The front garden is planted with many thriving flowers and green plants.

Looking up, the top of the building is a huge white cross.

Led by Balsazar, we walked through several corridors, opened a wooden door, and went down the stairs.

They arrived at a secluded basement of the house, a place undetectable by any detection magic, which was the very spot where they were to meet.

“That sir is just ahead; I’ll take my leave now.” Balsazar closed the door and waited outside.

Baling didn't care. Even if a hundred of his kind gathered, a weak half-demon wouldn't be a match for him.

At this moment, he was more concerned about the imposing aura coming from the front!
With such a powerful aura, he is definitely a strong opponent worth fighting.

Who is waiting for him...?

Baling is on high alert and dares not be careless.

Ahead, in the spacious area, there were only two large sofas and a stone table.

Meanwhile, a man dressed in a suit and tie, exuding an air of authority, had already taken his seat on the large sofa in front of him, his back to everyone else.

Just from his back view, Baling felt a sense of oppression, an oppressive force that made him raise the flag.

"You've come." With slightly wavy, short blond hair and an androgynous face, it was—Gabriel!

"How could it be you? You must be joking!"

Baling was stunned. He had considered that it might be some old demon who had endured years of hardship in the mortal realm but whose passion remained undiminished and who wanted to accomplish great things. But he never expected that the one who seemed to have subdued demons and caused trouble would be Gabriel.

“Yes, child. It’s all part of my grand plan.”

Gabriel turned around, his unfathomable golden eyes staring directly into Baling's eyes. At that moment, Baling suddenly resonated with Gabriel's thoughts.

She's destined for great things!
"What grand plan? Is this something I can listen to? Oh, and why are you coming to me again?"

There are many questions about Baling.

“Powerful demons from hell are trying to invade the human world. I’m laying out a grand plan to give them a crushing defeat. I want them to know that the human world is not a place where they can run rampant. This grand plan is already halfway through, and I’m worried that you might be unaware of it and ruin my plans.”

Gabriel picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard on the table, saying meaningfully, "That's why I came to you."

Baling asked, puzzled, "Then why...work with a demon? And doesn't that kid Balsazar know your identity?"

"He's an undercover agent; his mission is to lure the enemy out."

"On the surface, I need him to integrate those half-demons and help the demons who have smuggled themselves into Hell. It may seem that I will bring the Son of Hell into the world, but that will only be a trick to manipulate them. They will always fail at the last step."

"Once I complete the overall plan, I can severely damage the Son of Hell and thoroughly humiliate Hell. Even God will be proud of us."

"Your strength is an important and indispensable weight on the scales. Join us, and you should share in the glory of this victory."

Gabriel reached out his hand to Baling, who at that moment felt an immense sense of trust and importance placed upon him.

On our second meeting, he invited me to do something big!

Such sincerity and decisiveness make it hard to refuse.

Baling fell into deep thought. Could it be that his mission was to assist Gabriel in completing her grand plan?
Now he understood completely.

Baling nodded, clenched his fists tightly, and asked with a determined look, "What should I do?"

"To guide Constantine to continue uncovering the truth, we need a seemingly opposing force on the surface, and we also need to put on a show to put pressure on him. The more things go wrong for the Sons of Hell, the more anxious he will become, and the more flaws he will reveal, which will be more advantageous to us."

"Then when will I betray these evil demons?" Baling asked, eager to try.

"When the time comes, just follow my lead. With your power in the human world and my wisdom, we will be the strongest combination." Gabriel's face shone with wisdom as she clenched her fist, as if she had everything under control.

"Great! To be able to do great things with Archangel Gabriel. Just thinking about it makes me so excited I could cry."

After Baling accepted Gabriel's invitation, the two chatted for a few more minutes, discussing some details of the plan. Afterwards, Gabriel, being the senior, told Baling about his experiences in Heaven.

This greatly broadened Baling's horizons.

……

Not long after Baling left.

“My lord, the power of the Demon King Gao is probably no less than that of the Son of Hell, and his wisdom is no less than mine. If he sees through the lie, he may go back on his word at any time, like a time bomb.”

Balsaza said with concern.

“Since my wisdom is comparable to yours, then my plan is secure.” Gabriel sneered.
