American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 39 School Bus
I went out and it was about the same time.

Carrying her beloved school bag, Maria said goodbye to her parents and walked out of the house.

Maria, wearing her school uniform, put her hands in her pockets, walked briskly with anticipation, her skirt swaying.

What’s different from before is that there is a small scarecrow pendant on the outermost layer of the backpack.

He took out a cigarette and glanced back. Maria was about to light it when her hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"Stop, Maria, what are you doing?"

Baling's voice echoed in my heart.

Smoking is harmful to health, which is common knowledge known to everyone.

"I'm just used to it... This is for Lily."

Maria was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and immediately found an excuse.

"Good morning!"
Coincidentally, a blonde girl named Lily passed by and took Maria's cigarette.

"Fuck you."
Maria responded to Lily as usual, "I told you to take it and you really took it."

Lily is Maria's good friend whom she has known since third grade.

The two of them walked together towards the school bus.

"Hey! Maria, when did you buy that pendant? It's a bit ugly and not trendy enough."

Lily fiddled with the scarecrow twice, and the big grinning face was quite funny.
"No, Lily. It's my most important friend!"

Maria moved sideways to block Lily's hand that was still trying to make fun of her, and retorted seriously.

"OK, your taste is really bad." Lily said sarcastically.

"You don't understand." Maria shook her head and looked at the scarecrow with a sense of peace in her eyes that Lily couldn't understand.

As they were talking, a long, yellow-painted school bus was already ahead.

Lily got in the car first, and Maria followed behind.

"Tsk! That Lily is such a tasteless creature, and she lacks any sense of margins."

Through the pendant, Baling conveyed what he wanted to say directly into Maria's heart.

"Her vision is really not very good..."

Maria stopped talking mid-sentence.

Inside the school bus, in the narrow passage in front of the empty seat, a foot stretched out, blocking Maria.

Undisguised laughter rang out from all around, and smiling faces of people watching the fun appeared from their seats.

Maria's daily routine began.

Mark, who was stretching his legs to cause trouble, looked at Maria with an innocent smile.

Everyone around was waiting to laugh at her.

Maria looked around uncomfortably, not knowing what to do.

"……Help."

She called out in her heart.

"You gave him face, didn't you? Come on, Maria, don't be scared, go up and give him two big slaps to wake him up!"

"Let him know who is the boss!"

Baling saw the scene with his back to him through the reflection of the car window.

This is not causing trouble for Maria, it is clearly a slap in his face.

Baling would never tolerate this. This was no longer an ordinary student and he had to strike hard.

"I...I don't dare."

Maria retreated timidly.

"You have been strengthened by me, you can do it."

Baling encouraged her patiently and at the same time activated the small amount of dark power contained in the pendant to stimulate Maria's potential.

However, Maria was completely unaware of her increased strength; she simply gripped the straps of her backpack even tighter.

She had never hit anyone before and didn't dare to do anything.

"Maria, I command you! Go up and teach him a lesson."

Baling scolded sternly.

"Woooo..."

Maria said the signal was bad and she couldn't hear anything.

Oh shit, such a coward is actually my friend. I’m so unlucky now.

Baling was very dissatisfied.

However, with his wisdom, he had anticipated this situation. "Okay! Everyone has their first time. I understand."

"As your friend, I feel I need to set an example for you and show you a different world."

"Now, what you need to do is relax your body. Don't resist. Don't resist..."

Baling's voice was like a sleep-inducing lullaby. Maria's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and her stiff body slowly softened.

It's so strange, I feel so sleepy and want to sleep...

Maria's consciousness began to blur, as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

……

the other side.

Through the contract and the pendant, Baling is transferring his consciousness into Maria's body bit by bit.

Maria has only one body, but she has housed two souls for a long time, maintaining their development and growth.

Not only is she born with a psychic constitution, but her body also has a high capacity for souls.

It is a high-quality container.

Baling had already realized this after obtaining the intelligence, and this was also an important reason why he wanted to capture Maria.

Even if his good incarnation had problems, he could still rely on Maria's body to stay in the human world.

Now, with the special contractual relationship between them and the pendant as a medium, it is possible to borrow this psychic physique.

This is what Baling's wisdom told him.

"I'm in."

Baling was very polite and made a special statement.

A frail body, vivid and real human five senses, and a cramped feeling of crowding.

What’s going on? It’s a bit crowded!
Who is eating too much fat?

Baling complained a few words, but who would have thought that he would be discovered immediately.

"Fuck you! Who are you calling fat? You rude guy."

"Who allowed you to come in? Get out of this body!"

"Ahhh! Don't move."

The irritable female voice suddenly exploded, she had to start scolding immediately.

"Hey, who was it? It turns out to be you, that stinky beggar who won't leave."

"I've lived in someone else's house for eighteen years and haven't contributed a penny."

"If we have to leave, you should go first."

"Get out!"

The mixed sounds of men and women swearing at each other buzzed in my mind like a hundred flies flying around my ears.

Maria closed her eyes and opened them again, only to find that not only could she not move, but there was also a constant noise.

One was Baling's voice, and the other was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

What's going on? What happened?
Maria typed with great doubt.

"Ba Ling, are you there?"

"I'm here, hold on, I'm elbowing a disobedient guy."

"This is my home, what are you doing!" The female voice appeared again.

"Your home? Hehehe, starting from last night, this is my home and my property. Even you are mine."

"Shameless! You liar, I'll fight you!"

"Do you have the strength to fight me, Baling?"

After a fierce struggle.

"Don't touch me!"

"I give up, no."

"Quack! Ah!"

After two screams, the other voice suddenly disappeared, and the world suddenly became much quieter, with only Baling speaking.

“Huh! Even though I haven’t fought seriously in a while, I just managed to regain some form.”

With his powerful willpower, Baling fiercely suppressed the spirit Alan and knocked her unconscious with his elbow.

Without a clear consciousness, the space here feels a little more spacious and there is more room for movement.
