American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 143 Sea of ​​Blood

Fuck! It’s the corridor on the 14th floor of the Dolphin Hotel again!

Roy sat speechlessly on the low stool in the middle of the corridor. This was the second time he had dreamed of Room 1408 in a short period of time.

It can be seen that the dream of room 1408 has always existed. As long as the people living in the hotel have a low San value, or are in poor health like Roy is now, they may be dragged into their dreams by room 1408.

Just like last time, 1408 began to tempt Roy to go in in various ways, but Roy's willpower had improved and he completely ignored these temptations.

Then, 1408 seemed to start getting angry, opening and closing the door repeatedly as if to intimidate Roy.

"Idiot, I won't go in even if you break the door!"

Bored Roy simply lay down on a low stool and waited for time. He remembered that when he entered the corridor, it seemed like someone was coming up the stairs, but Roy didn't see who it was at the time because he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.

I wonder if I can see that guy today?
After thinking about it, I realized that this dream was not under my control at all. If there was something wrong with that guy, it would be quite dangerous.

If you can't see it, forget it, there's no need to force it.

Now Roy just hoped that there would be another phone call to wake him up, otherwise it would be too boring to stay in this corridor and be harassed by 1408.

Roy, who was still in his dream, didn't know that Heather and Penny had turned off his cell phone so that he could rest and recover.

In other words, Roy can only sleep until he wakes up naturally and no one can wake him up.

Roy became more and more bored as he lay in the corridor, and even had the urge to go into room 1408 to take a look.

So boredom can really drive people crazy, and it actually made Roy come up with such dangerous ideas.

Roy felt that this was not going to work, so he walked to the elevator again, wanting to leave the corridor on the 14th floor of the Dolphin Hotel.

The elevator still didn't respond. Roy had no authority to control the facilities in this dream.

Perhaps the only thing to do was to enter room 1408 and see what was inside, but Roy didn't want to let that room go as he wished.

"It should be okay to use my own powers in a dream, right?"

Roy directly unfolded the field of fear.

After absorbing the fear energy of the slender figure, the fear energy in Roy's body made a qualitative leap.

If the fear energy before was in gaseous form, then the fear energy in Roy's body has now turned into liquid.

Although it is still a relatively thin liquid, the change in form brings about huge changes.

First of all, the duration of the unit's fear energy transformation has been extended, and its power has also been increased.

The moment Roy unfolded the fear field, the entire corridor began to shake slightly, as if there was an earthquake.

If Room 1408 is indeed a room with self-awareness as Roy had previously guessed, then the fear field that Roy unfolded will also have an impact on it.

The shaking of the entire corridor seemed to confirm this speculation.

"You still won't let me go?"

Roy narrowed his eyes and was about to increase his output when he suddenly realized that the elevator had started running again and someone was riding in it.

Are you really coming?

Roy watched the elevator going up one floor at a time. He decided to see who was coming, so he temporarily withdrew his fear realm.

And to prevent trouble, Roy also put on a ghost face mask.

The ghost face mask is usually used directly from the inventory, but this time Roy put it directly on his face to cover his face.

Finally, the elevator stopped on the 14th floor, and a person wearing a mask walked out. Isn’t this a coincidence?
The other party was shocked when he saw Roy and immediately put on a state of mind.

"who are you?"

Roy suddenly felt that this guy's movements and accent seemed familiar, as if he was someone he met after coming to Los Angeles.

But in the dream, Roy couldn't remember it for a while.

"I was going to ask you, why did you come to my place?"

Roy lied as soon as he opened his mouth. In order to make the other party believe him, he even used some of the power from the Belial Mark to increase the effect of the lie and unfolded the fear field.

Under the dual influence of lies and fear, the masked man in front of him actually believed Roy's words and knelt on the ground to worship.

"You must be the Lord God's Messenger! Lord God's Messenger, we have made preparations and are waiting for the master's arrival!"

Wait, is this guy from Beelzebub's cult?

And it sounds like these guys are about to cause trouble.

Roy immediately wanted to test the waters and get some information out of this guy.

"Oh? What preparations have you made?"

The masked man raised his head and looked at Roy fanatically.

"Lord Divine Envoy, we have prepared a grand ceremony to welcome the Master's arrival. At that time, the whole world will be able to feel the Master's mighty power!"

A grand ceremony? It seemed quite grand, right?

Just as Roy was about to continue asking questions, he heard the sound of the tide behind him.

Turning his head, Roy saw a torrent of blood gushing out of room 1408. The scene was just like the famous scene in the movie "The Shining", with a sea of ​​blood flooding the entire corridor.

However, in the movie "The Shining", the scene of the sea of ​​blood was just an illusion, but it was not necessarily the case in the dream. Roy could already feel the oppressive feeling of the sea of ​​blood.

"Wortfalk!"

Roy couldn't help but swear, which made the masked man in front of him realize that he was not a messenger of God, and the masked man stood up immediately.

"You are not a messenger of God!"

"Get out of here!"

Roy kicked the masked man aside. He didn't want to swim in a sea of ​​blood. The elevator that the masked man came up in was not closed, so he rushed into the elevator and pressed the close door button.

Through the slowly closing elevator door, Roy saw the masked man he had just kicked over struggling in a sea of ​​blood. Now that he was in the elevator, he seemed to have a special power that could prevent the blood from entering.

The elevator door closed, Roy looked at the elevator buttons, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

If I press the button for the 12th floor now, can I enter the 12th floor in my dream? And can I also enter room 1208 in my dream?

So Roy tried pressing the button for the 12th floor, but the elevator didn't move.

Well, it seems that most of the buttons are just for decoration, and the only ones that can be pressed are probably the 1st and 14th floors.

Roy pressed the button for the first floor and the elevator began to slowly descend.

As the elevator descended, Roy's consciousness began to rise, and soon he opened his eyes.

"Roy, are you awake?"

Now Penny was acting as a breast pillow for Roy. Surprisingly, she didn't fall asleep like last time, but was giving him a gentle head massage.

So as soon as Roy woke up, Penny noticed it immediately.

Roy sat up and stretched.

"Petunia, what time is it?"

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

I only slept for seven hours?

Roy felt his body and found that it had almost recovered to 50%. He felt some pain when he stretched just now.

The internal injuries this time are indeed very serious, and it will probably take a week to fully recover.

Just as he was thinking about it, Roy's stomach suddenly growled loudly.

Penny immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

"Roy, so you woke up because you were hungry!"

Roy was speechless, but then looked at Penny with confidence.

"I didn't eat breakfast or lunch, so is it strange that I'm hungry?"

Penny laughed even louder.

But after laughing, Penny still looked at Roy with a distressed expression.

"Roy, whatever you want to eat, I'll go to the restaurant with Heather and get it for you now!"

"Give me more red meat and white meat. I'm injured and need to replenish my energy." "Okay, I'll go now."

While Penny and Heather went to prepare food, Roy took a shower to clean himself up, just in time to eat.

After the injury, Roy's appetite seemed to have increased again.

Penny and Heather ran up and down several times before Roy filled his stomach.

Later, Dalia heard that Roy had woken up, so she came to see him and brought a pie she had made herself.

Having a full stomach helps with injury recovery, and Roy can feel that his recovery speed seems to have accelerated.

"Roy, aren't you going to sleep next?"

Dalia looked at Roy with concern.

Ever since she learned that Roy suffered serious internal injuries while saving her daughter, she always felt that she owed Roy a lot.

Now Dalia is willing to do anything for Roy.

"I can't sleep anymore, I can't sleep anymore."

Roy put down his cutlery and began to think about what had just happened in his dream.

Although it is impossible to confirm whether the masked man is a member of the Beelzebub cult, it is certain that someone in Los Angeles wants to take over the whole thing.

But why do I feel familiar with that masked man?

After Roy came to Los Angeles, he actually didn't meet many people. The ones he was more familiar with were actually Alan Berg and Gerald Olin.

Or they could be the opponents in previous boxing matches, but none of them seem to fit the image of the masked man.

Where have I seen that guy before?

While Roy was thinking, Heather turned on the TV and wanted to watch the soap opera rerun in the afternoon.

This is the greatest pleasure for Heather and Penny these days.

As Heather was changing channels, a picture caught Roy's attention.

"Heather, wait! Switch the channel back!"

Heather looked at Roy in surprise, but still used the remote control to switch back to the previous program.

At this time, the TV screen was replaying the "Night Owl" program, and Roy saw the host Jack talking to the guests.

This is the guy!
No wonder Roy felt that the masked man's accent was so familiar. It turned out that he had watched this guy's show!

"Roy, what's wrong?"

Heather and Penny both noticed that Roy looked unhappy.

"There's trouble! I need to talk to Gerald Olin!"

"But your body..."

Heather looked at Roy with some worry. She still remembered the painful expression on Roy's face in the morning.

"No, I'm just going to talk to Gerald Olin. I'm not going to do anything."

Dalia stood up.

"Do you need us to help you downstairs?"

"No, I've recovered a little after a good sleep, so it's okay."

With that, Roy stood up, frowned, and walked out of the room.

In the morning, Roy didn't feel much pain due to the effect of adrenaline, but now his chest hurts after he takes a few steps.

Missing half a heart has a huge impact on Roy.

Arriving at the first floor of the Dolphin Hotel, Roy originally wanted to go directly to Gerald's office to find him, but found that Gerald's office was locked.

There was no other way, so Roy had to call Gerald and ask for his location.

As a result, the call didn't go through.

How is this going?

As the director of the FEA Los Angeles branch, responsible for the security of a region, his cell phone should be accessible 24 hours a day.

Could it be in an underground base?

Roy found an FEA agent he had met before in the lobby and asked about Gerald's whereabouts.

"Where's Mr. Olin?"

This agent also knew Roy until he was a collaborator with Gerald.

"The Director? The Director went on a business trip after the operation this morning. He's not in downtown Los Angeles right now."

Roy cursed in his heart, what a coincidence!
Roy could probably guess what Gerald had done.

They were probably transporting Slender Man's body to a secret base for research. The reason why the phone couldn't be reached was probably because the secret base had blocked the cell phone signal.

"How long will it take for him to come back?"

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe he'll be back tonight, or maybe tomorrow."

After explaining the plan, the agent left, leaving Roy standing there alone, frowning and thinking.

Just at this moment, a voice interrupted Roy's thoughts.

"Roy, why are you standing here alone?"

When I turned around, it was Mary.

"Merry, why are you here? Don't you have class?"

"I've finished my classes today, so I came to see you."

Meili still had that self-blaming expression on her face, and it seemed that she was still feeling guilty for losing Ceci last night.

"That's great. Can you drive?"

"of course!"

It turns out that there are very few Americans who can't drive, regardless of gender, age or status.

"Okay, can you drive me somewhere?"

"no problem!"

Mary didn't refuse, and then helped Roy into the Chevrolet Camaro.

However, when Mary sat in the driver's seat, the Chevrolet Camaro's horn suddenly sounded inexplicably.

"What's going on? I didn't even honk the horn!"

Roy frowned slightly. The last time his car honked its horn was when he was at the Gospel Sanatorium. What happened this time?

"It's okay. My car is actually a refurbished second-hand car. There might be something wrong with the horn. I'll check it next time."

Roy patted the steering wheel, as if to soothe the machine spirit.

Merry breathed a sigh of relief and started the engine.

While Mary was driving, Roy made a phone call.

"Sister Saltana, I'm Roy!"

"Roy, I heard you were injured. How are you now?"

"My health has improved a lot, but now there is another troublesome thing."

"Is there something else bothering me? Oh my God, is it because I took two months off that I need to make up for it?"

Saltana's voice sounded quite depressed, probably because she had been exploited too much in the past few days.

But there was no way, Gerald was not there, Roy could only look for Saltana.

"Anyway, I'll see you at Keller's apartment!"
