American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 102 Anchor Point
The next day, everything was safe and sound. On the way to send the girls to school, Roy saw Sheriff Hughes blocking the road again.

"Hey, Chief Hughes, what's going on again?"

Sheriff Hughes had dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

"Don't mention it. Last night was a complete mess! First, there was a huge explosion at the Gospel Sanatorium, which caused a wildfire. Then, three high school students were found mysteriously dead in their bedrooms. I was woken up in the middle of the night and have been busy ever since. I haven't had any rest yet!"

Roy and the girls exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Freddy had worked overtime last night and achieved a lot.

No wonder Freddy's power increased so much!
Roy pretended to know nothing and comforted Sheriff Hughes.

"I guess you can't be blamed for that, Chief Hughes."

Sergeant Hughes shrugged.

"Thank you, Roy! But I'm not that fragile yet. I'll just be tired for the next couple of days. My mission should be over by the time the FBI arrives."

The FBI is coming?

Roy's heart moved and he thought of a beautiful female FBI agent.

However, the state police definitely cannot handle the Gospel Sanatorium case, and the county police do not have law enforcement powers, so the federal police must be called in.

America's police system is quite complex and can be roughly divided into three types: federal police, state police, and county police.

Neither state troopers nor county troopers can enforce the law across districts. State troopers seem to be more powerful than county troopers, but because the quality of police departments in America depends on the tax revenue of the districts, the state troopers mainly in rural areas are generally not as strong as the county troopers in cities.

As for the federal police, they are directly under the federal government, commonly known as the FBI, and they have the power to enforce the law across regions within the Americas.

"Well, Sheriff Hughes, good luck!"

Hughes watched Roy drive away and began to mutter to himself.

"There's one more! Isn't this kid too fierce?"

Oak High School officially started classes today, but all the students were a little absent-minded.

Because those who are well-informed, such as Roy, have already known about the tragic deaths of three students at home.

I have to say that Oak High School has been having a bit of a retrograde period recently. A few days ago, an explosion occurred in the auditorium and a student died. In the past few days, three more students died in their homes.

It can be seen that the principal's hair has become visibly thinner.

After the first class, Wade found Roy.

"Boss Roy, your search for Zopiclone, is it related to the three dead students?"

This kid is quite smart. He noticed something from Roy's attitude towards Zopiclone yesterday.

Now that the two of them are partners, Roy did not hide anything from each other. After all, if Wade died, he would have to find another drug dealer.

"It does have something to do with it."

Roy tells the story about Freddy.

If someone else said this kind of thing, Wade would definitely think that they were crazy, but he believed what Roy said 100%.

"Hou Lixie! I've dreamt of something similar before. Luckily, I was too excited to fall asleep last night, otherwise I might have become one of those three students!"

Roy really didn't know about this, he could only say that Wade was lucky.

"Then you also need to take Zopiclone. As long as you don't have dreams, you can prevent Freddy from finding you."

Zopiclone is a very effective fast-acting hypnotic. The Gospel Sanatorium has prepared a lot of this drug, so Wade still has a lot.

Wade nodded repeatedly, and then he suddenly remembered something.

"Boss Roy, are there many people in school who have dreamed about that Freddy?"

"I asked yesterday, and at least a dozen students had dreams about Freddy, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly."

"Then can I sell them Zopiclone or other fast-acting sleeping pills?"

Roy looked at Wade. This guy was really a business genius. He figured out a way to make money so quickly.

"You can try, but it's best not to make too much noise. I heard the FBI will be arriving in Falls Town soon."

Hearing this, Wade immediately became a little timid. The name of Ying Shu, the FBI man, was still quite intimidating.

"Thank you, Boss Roy. I will be more careful."

Wade left, and Roy guessed that the other party would not give up this money-making plan, which could also save a few lives.

After all, we are classmates in the same school and fellow villagers from the same town.

Roy was about to return to the classroom when his cell phone rang.

The phone number displayed on the screen made Roy's expression become a little strange.

"Hey, Sister Saltana, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

That's right, it was Saltana Rivera, a senior agent of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEA).

"Can't I call you if I'm alright?"

Hey, this sentence sounds familiar. Have I said this before?
"Ahem! I'm not kidding you! Roy, do you live in Falls Town near Austin?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"I just received a case that happened in your place, and I want to ask if you know anything about it."

Roy's expression became strange. Could it be that Freddy's case was taken over by Saltana?
Didn’t they say that the one coming would be the FBI?
But if you think about it carefully, Freddy's method of killing is indeed strange. It is possible that the state police submitted it to the FBI, and then the FBI handed it over to the FEA, which specializes in supernatural cases.

Since the case is handled by an acquaintance, it will be easy.

Roy rolled his eyes and began to think about how to get the most benefit from this.

"Well, I do know some inside information."

Hearing this, Saltana's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became serious.

"Really? I'll be in Waterfall Town this afternoon, let's meet then!"

After saying that, Saltana hung up the phone. This woman is really impatient.

Roy shook his head helplessly.

In the afternoon, Roy took Jennifer and Needy home, and then picked up Emma from elementary school.

Ever since Roy picked up Emma once, the little girl strongly requested that Roy pick her up as well, so he became Emma's full-time driver.

"Emma, ​​have you had any strange dreams recently?"

"A strange dream? Brother Roy, what kind of dream is considered a strange dream?"

"Well, it's just an old wooden house, and there are three little girls jumping rope and singing nursery rhymes in front of the house."

Emma wrinkled her nose slightly.

"Why would I have such a childish dream?"

Roy was speechless. An eight-year-old child actually thought Freddy's dream was childish.

But this also means that Freddy's claws have not yet reached the elementary school students.

This made Roy think of a possibility. Freddy might use Nancy as an anchor to attack the young people around her.

Most of the people Roy had discovered having nightmares had had contact with Nancy.

"Okay, now that we're home, tell my parents I have an appointment tonight and won't be home for dinner."

"Okay, Brother Roy!"

Roy didn't expect that this time he met not only Saltana, but also Elena.

"Ms. Scott, I didn't expect you to come too!"

Roy reached out and shook hands with the two ladies.

"Why, you only welcome Saltana and not me? And you call me Ms. Scott!"

Unexpectedly, Elena started to get snarky with Roy right away, her expression like a jealous girlfriend. "Then I can call you Sister Elena, too, right?"

"That's more like it, but I wish you would call me in that sweet voice you use when you call Saltana."

Saltana couldn't stand listening to this anymore and couldn't help but pat Elena on the shoulder.

It seems that the relationship between the two is quite close, and it should be more than just a work relationship. Maybe they are also good friends in private.

"Elena, calm down! Don't scare the child!"

"Haha, you're already feeling sorry for your lover? No wonder he was so anxious to get me to help him that day!"

"Why are you still talking!"

Saltana finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started playing with Elena.

The scene of two beautiful and broad-minded older sisters playing together was naturally beautiful, and Roy didn't know where to look for a moment.

Feeling Roy's burning gaze, Elena restrained herself a little and stopped playing around.

"Alright, alright, enough of that! Actually, I'm here for another case. It's the bombing of the Gospel Sanatorium on the edge of your town."

Because the forests around Falls were relatively moist, the explosion at the Gospel Sanatorium did not ultimately cause a large-scale wildfire.

But the FBI still had to come and investigate the cause of the explosion. Elena happened to be in Austin, so the case fell on her shoulders.

But Roy was still a little curious.

"Is the Night Demon case closed?"

Since there was no news in the media, Roy could only ask Elena for information.

Elena looked helpless.

"This case was stopped by the higher-ups, and I'm still in the window period, so the Gospel Nursing Home case fell on me."

As expected, the dark web has considerable influence on the government side, no wonder it is so unscrupulous.

However, in a society like America, people are afraid of being exposed to the light. Even if it is a squid, it will be turned into squid strips if it is exposed to the light.

If Keller can keep the truth from leaking out, the dark web will be doomed.

Although this process is certainly dangerous, it would be better for Roy to use physics to eliminate this disgusting organization.

"Well, Sister Elena, maybe the Gospel Nursing Home case will disappoint you too."

As soon as Roy said this, Elena frowned.

"Do you know something, kid?"

"Let's sit down and talk slowly."

The place the three chose to meet was a high-end restaurant in Waterfall Town, which is always hard to get a seat during the peak tourist season.

It's still some time before the peak tourist season, so the restaurant is still relatively deserted.

Because of Roy, the restaurant chef directly cooked dinner for the three of them. This was also the honor he got after becoming a celebrity in Waterfall Town.

At the dinner table, Elena continued to ask the same question. This woman was very similar to Saltana, both were workaholics.

When she heard that Roy knew some inside information, she couldn't help but start asking questions during the meal, even more anxious than Saltana.

"Roy, tell me what you know!"

"If I tell you, you won't arrest me, right?"

Hearing this, Elena smiled and glanced at Saltana.

"Don't worry, as long as you're not evading taxes in America, I won't arrest you."

Saltana patted Elena's thigh and then showed concern for Roy.

"Is the problem serious?"

Roy answered them both in a joking tone, trying to test their reactions.

"I killed more than fifty people."

Saltana lost her grip and the fork in her hand fell onto the pile of plates, making a very harsh sound.

Elena also put down the cutlery in her hand and looked at Roy seriously.

"Roy, don't say things like that casually. It's very dangerous!"

Roy observed the expressions of Saltana and Elena and felt that the two female agents were on his side, so he told the truth.

"Last night, a friend and I went to visit a friend at the Gospel Sanatorium. Upon arrival, we discovered that everyone inside had been massacred. It seems some dangerous mentally ill patients had escaped from the ward. I killed them, but as my friend and I were about to flee, a group of well-trained mercenaries rushed in. They killed everyone they saw, without giving us a chance to explain.

The bomb that caused the explosion was also placed by those mercenaries. If you go to the entrance of the Gospel Sanatorium now, you should still be able to see the wreckage of the assault vehicle."

Elena frowned, and she quickly found the highlight.

"You don't go to the nursing home during the day, but only at night? Nursing homes don't usually have visiting hours at night, right?"

Roy spread his hands.

"I'm a student! I have classes during the day, so I can only go at night, but I've made an appointment in advance."

Well, Wade made an appointment with his cousin Seth, so that counts as an appointment, right?

This explanation was reasonable, so Elena no longer doubted it.

However, after Elena learned such important information, she no longer had the heart to enjoy dinner.

"Saltana, Roy, I won't disturb your time alone, so you don't blame me later."

"What are you talking about, Elena! Roy is still a child!"

Hearing this, Roy quickly clarified.

"Ahem, after my birthday in June, I'll be 19."

This made Saltana blush a little. It seems that there is a difference in rank among the older sisters.

Elena patted Roy on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"come on!"

With one person gone, the dining atmosphere between Roy and Saltana suddenly became pink. The female agent lowered her head and ate silently without saying a word, but the blush on her face became more and more obvious.

At this time, the head chef came over to help and asked Roy if he wanted some red wine to liven up the atmosphere.

"Then you'll have to ask the lady. If she doesn't arrest me, I might give it a try."

Roy is only 18 years old now, and American law requires the age to drink in public to be 21.

Saltana gave Roy a coquettish look.

"It's not FEA's job to arrest underage drinkers."

Roy snapped his fingers.

"Then come on!"

"No problem, I just happened to have a nice bottle of red wine hidden here, perfect to go with the meal!"

After taking a few sips of red wine, Saltana's cheeks became even redder, and even her neck was a little flushed, and she seemed to have become much bolder because of the alcohol.

"Roy, you're a supernatural person, right?"

This question made Roy's smile fade a little.

"Hmm—in what capacity are you asking me? A senior agent of the FEA, or my friend?"

Saltana looked at Roy seriously.

"Of course we are friends!"
