American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 148 Rebellion
Not to mention the expressions of the audience, even Roy and the others who were watching TV were losing control of their expressions.

Especially Dalia and Mary. These two women had only known Roy for a short time and had not seen much of the world. Now their mouths were so wide open that they could fit large lollipops in them.

"Ro, Roy, is this show real?"

Mary asked Roy in disbelief.

"I think the previous part was probably fake, but now it should be true!"

It is impossible for the human cervical spine to rotate 360 ​​degrees, and it is impossible to use special effects in live broadcasts, so the woman named Lanli is probably really possessed by a demon.

As he was talking, Roy's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number. It was Saltana calling.

"Hi, I'm Roy."

"Roy, did you watch 'Night Owl' tonight?"

"I'm watching it now! Are you watching it too?"

"Yes, ever since you said there was something wrong with that host Jack Del last time, I've been following his show and even catching up on his past episodes of 'Night Owl'."

Saltana is very serious about her work and is a bit of a workaholic.

"Roy, what do you think of tonight's Night Owl?"

"The exorcism was supposed to be fake at first, but now it should be real!"

"you sure?"

"At least 70% sure! Do you want to bet?"

Of course, Saltana didn't want to gamble, as a 70% chance of success was already very high.

"Sister Saltana, you'd better notify the TV station to stop broadcasting this program, otherwise I'm worried about what will happen!"

"That's impossible. I'm just a small agent now. I have no right to order the TV station to stop the program! The only thing I can do is report the problem."

Saltana was very helpless. Gerald couldn't be contacted at this time. There were many mediocre people in the Los Angeles FEA, all of whom were salary thieves who would rather keep their distance.

Roy thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

"Actually, it's not like we can't do anything. Maybe we can investigate where Max's exorcism is."

This woke Saltana up.

"That makes sense! Roy, I'll meet you at the Dolphin Hotel right now, and then we'll investigate this matter!"

While Roy was on the phone with Saltana, the Night Owl show continued.

"Uh, Max, you better look behind you."

The host Jack reminded Max, and Max turned around in surprise, and saw Lanli, who had just completed the neck exercise, looking at him with a half-smile in her eyes.

At this time, Lanli's pupils had turned dark gold, similar to Roy's appearance after transformation, and her face was covered with black twisted lines, which looked very scary.

Max was a little flustered when he saw this scene, because what was happening now was not in their script at all.

"Drew? Where are you?"

Max began calling his assistant's name, and then he found Drew in the corner. He had just been thrown against the wall by a huge force and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.

Just as Max was about to run over to help Drew up, the possessed Lanley suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"You better stay off camera, Max dear."

Maxton didn't dare to move. He looked at Lan Li with sweat all over his forehead, his heart filled with foreboding.

"You, who are you?"

Lanli let out an unpleasant and shrill laugh.

"Hahaha, didn't you just read my name? Did you forget it so quickly?"

Max was stunned. He had indeed mentioned the name of a demon just now, the fallen angel Mostima, but that was just a name he picked up at random when looking through the information.

Could it be that I just called out the real person by calling out casually?

In a panic, Max picked up the cross and the Bible and began to recite the exorcism words he had just read to Lanli.

"Mastema, I will bind you, the spirit of hatred, the fallen, by the authority of the Holy Trinity..."

Unfortunately, the possessed Lanli didn't want Max to finish reciting the exorcism words. She opened her mouth and spat a large amount of black mucus onto Max's face.

The strong stench made Max feel like he couldn't breathe, and he started vomiting violently right in front of the camera.

This scene is really disgusting, but it also explains why priests need to bring at least one assistant when performing exorcisms.

Without someone to control the possessed person, the exorcism process can be easily interrupted.

To see what happens when an exorcism is interrupted, just look at Max’s current situation.

Lanli, who was spitting oil, looked at Max's painful expression and let out a shrill laugh.

At this time, Drew, the assistant who had been thrown out before, had already climbed up. He did not go to help Max, but wanted to run to the computer to check some information while the devil was not noticing him.

Obviously, the demon possessing Lanli was not Mostima, so Max, who was performing the exorcism ritual, failed directly.

Although Max is a fake priest, in order to make it look more realistic, their team actually learned techniques from professional exorcist priests.

Unfortunately, exorcism is not just about learning the skills, it also requires devout faith and strong will, which the counterfeiters do not have.

"Don't go, Drew. Don't you have any stories you want to tell your good friend Max?"

Drew's plan still failed. As soon as he approached the computer near the shooting site, Lanli suddenly set her sights on him.

The "Night Owl" show on TV is still going on. This interview program, which was originally based on guest interviews, has completely turned into a reality show observation program.

The audience were all staring at the screen intently, not daring to breathe.

At this time, Saltana called again.

"Roy, I'm already downstairs at the hotel!"

"I'll be down right away!"

Roy picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. The four women had been engrossed in watching the TV for a long time, and they felt a little lost when they saw the TV turned off.

Heather had some other comments.

"Roy, why did you turn off the TV?"

"There's something wrong with this show. I can't watch it anymore! I have something to go out for now. You'd better not leave the Dolphin Hotel!"

Hearing this, Meili was stunned for a moment.

"Roy, can't I go back to school too?"

Roy looked at the short-haired female college student.

"Merry, believe me! It's safest to stay in the Dolphin Hotel!"

Mary nodded, but her face was a little flushed and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After instructing the woman, Roy left the suite with his laptop.

The reason for bringing the laptop was that Roy wanted to continue watching the "Night Owl" program, and the laptop could be used to log in to the TV station's official website to watch it.

Saltana drove a black Cadillac, which looked quite formal. It should be the car assigned to her by FEA.

"Roy, get in the car!"

Roy got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and opened his laptop to continue watching the "Night Owl" program.

"What's going on in the show now?"

Since she had to drive, Saltana could only ask Roy.

"The devil is instigating a quarrel between Max and Drew!" It turns out that the woman, Lanli, who was pulled in to perform the exorcism, is actually Drew's girlfriend.

Because Lanli had experience in performing in the drama club and her acting skills were pretty good, Drew thought it would be better to give the role to one of his own rather than other actors, so he asked Lanli to perform.

Max himself didn't know about this until the demon possessing Lanli pointed it out to him.

Max was a little angry about this.

"Drew, you lied to me!"

Drew quickly explained.

"Max, wait a minute! I told you about this, but you were busy picking up girls at the time, so you forgot! And wasn't Lanli's performance just now very good?"

Lanli's performance just now was indeed wonderful. Her body language, facial expressions and lines were all very eye-catching, so much so that Roy was almost scared.

This explanation made Max feel a little better, but the seed of doubt had been planted and it was not so easy to resolve.

What's more, there is a devil trying to sow discord between them.

"Ho ho ho! Max, why don't you tell me your story?"

Max's expression changed, and it can be seen from this that he also felt sorry for Drew.

Drew noticed Max's expression and his expression also became unhappy.

"Max, what are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing! This demon is stirring up trouble!"

Max said this in front of the demon, and the demon was naturally very unhappy, so he threw Max directly against the wall just like he did to Drew just now.

The fall was quite severe, and then Roy noticed that the camera had actually started to move.

If there wasn't a photographer on the scene, it would be the demon possessing Lanli who was controlling the camera.

"Oh, dear Max, you'd better tell the truth to the audience, otherwise this beautiful girl might die!"

The devil threatened Lanli's life, and Drew couldn't help it immediately.

"Max, just tell me! No matter what you confess, I will forgive you!"

After Drew said so, Max hesitated for a moment and then decided to confess everything.

"Actually, I've been taking jobs privately, and I've probably made a few hundred thousand dollars in the past couple of years."

As soon as these words came out, Drew became anxious.

"Max, when we worked together before, we agreed to split the profits 50-50. How could you take this job privately?"

Max quickly explained.

"But those people only came to me because I'm handsome, not because I can exorcise demons!"

Well, it turns out that a rich woman came to the door!
So did he use the demon-subduing pestle to help the rich woman exorcise the demon?
But speaking of it, although Max has a beard, he is handsome and has a pair of sky-blue eyes with a melancholic temperament, which should be very appealing to some women.

In comparison, Drew's appearance is quite ordinary, the kind that no one would remember if thrown into a crowd.

"That won't do! It was my plan that made you famous! I should have a share of every penny you make!"

This made Max a little unhappy.

Once a person becomes successful, he will inevitably be praised from all sides. Over time, he will attribute all his success to himself and ignore the efforts made by those around him.

This is a very common thing in every industry, which is what the saying goes.

Max was obviously a little bit arrogant, so he was dissatisfied with what Drew said.

"I said, this is entirely based on my own face, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Damn it! If I hadn't made you famous, how would those rich women have seen you!"

The two began to curse at each other, and the words became more and more intense. All kinds of words that cannot appear on TV kept coming out. The program team could only cover up the swear words with beeps.

For a while, the program kept making beeping sounds, as if sending a telegram.

At this time, Saltana had already driven to the TV station. Roy asked Keller for Andy's phone number and contacted him directly.

"Mr. Harrison, are you at the TV station now? I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Okay then, I'll wait for you downstairs."

If you want to investigate the recorded broadcast, you still have to rely on people inside the TV station.

Not long after, Andy came down from the TV station building.

"Mr. Black, what's the matter that requires you to look for me so urgently?"

Roy motioned for Saltana to speak, and Saltana took out her ID and showed it to Andy.

"Federal Response Bureau, we want to ask you some questions."

Andy was stunned for a moment, but he worked at a TV station after all, and his knowledge was much broader than that of ordinary people, so he was not too nervous.

"FEA? I've never heard of this government department!"

Roy spoke up to help Saltana explain.

"Mr. Harrison, if you don't believe me, you can call Keller to confirm."

Roy brought up Keller's name, and Andy fell silent instantly.

"Okay, go ahead and ask. I'll try to tell you anything that's not confidential."

Roy and Saltana looked at each other. They didn't expect that Keller's name would be more useful than the FEA certificate.

"We're investigating Jack Derr, and I'd like to know where the live call he's showing on tonight's show was filmed."

This question made Andy scratch his head, as he had originally thought it was something more private.

"Why do you ask that?"

"You don't need to worry about why, just tell us the answer!"

"Okay, I don't know the answer to this question either. I'm not from the 'Night Owl' production team, but I can call the director of that production team and ask."

As he spoke, Andy took out his cell phone and started making a call.

A few minutes later, Andy got his answer.

"That live link was actually filmed at Disney's studio in Hollywood, I think it was Stage 13."

KABC-TV, where Jack works, is affiliated with ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation). This large radio and television company was acquired by Disney in 1996, so KABC-TV was able to borrow Disney's studio.

But isn't number 13 unlucky? Don't Disney have any taboos about this?

Roy and Saltana returned to the car to head to the Disney studios in Hollywood.

"Wait a minute, you guys don't want to go to Disney's studios now?"

"Mr. Harrison, what's the problem?"

"You may not be able to get in now, how about taking me with you?"

Andy seemed to want to use Roy as a breakthrough point, so he was very enthusiastic.

But Roy didn't want to bring any burden.

"No need, Mr. Harrison, we have our own way! Thank you for your help. I hope you won't tell anyone that we were looking for you tonight."

With that, Roy and Saltana got into the black Cadillac.
