American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 155 The World in the Mirror
After agreeing on the price, Roy and Saltana went straight to the large suburban shopping mall where the ghost mirror was located.

You can see that the architectural style of this large shopping mall is quite classical, and some people would believe it is a museum.

Roy noticed that a lot of the building's exterior paint had peeled off, and it was obvious that no one had done any maintenance on it.

A cordon has been set up around the large supermarket, and a small number of FEA agents are patrolling.

"Who owns this large supermarket? It looks quite old. Is no one taking care of it?"

It’s such a waste to leave such a big building vacant here!
The land alone is worth a lot of money. If the problem of the ghost mirror can be solved, it will be worth at least tens of millions.

"It is said that this place belonged to a wealthy man named Roland Gordon. He disappeared a few years ago and has no children. The rest of his family has been fighting a lawsuit for several years over the inheritance, so this place has been vacant."

It turns out that’s the case, so it’s no wonder.

Roy followed Saltana into the mall.

"In the past few years, the Gordon family simply hired some security guards to guard this place and prevent homeless people from running in. As a result, every security guard here has disappeared, and they still continue to hire security guards."

This family is so evil!

Arriving in the center of the mall, Roy saw a rectangular frame covered with canvas.

"Roy, this is it."

"Saltana, please go out first and guard the door. Don't let anyone in easily."

"Okay! Roy, be careful."

Saltana left the mall and waited for Roy outside. The mall became dark and silent.

When the environment becomes very quiet, people's ears will hear some strange sounds, which are often auditory hallucinations.

But Roy now seemed to hear the screams of the people trapped here when the fire broke out.

It is very real. Hearing the sound is like seeing the scene, and the picture is very vivid.

"interesting!"

Roy smiled and walked towards the mirror in the middle of the mall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Roy approached, the canvas covering the mirror slid down automatically, as if to welcome him.

It is said that the mirror here was the only item that was not destroyed after the fire, and it is still brand new even after so many years.

Looking at his handsome face in the mirror, Roy fell into deep thought.

Destroying the ghost mirror is easy with Roy's current ability, but the difficulty lies in not only destroying the ghost mirror but also storing it.

Just as he was thinking, Roy suddenly noticed that the person in the mirror suddenly showed a weird smile, and then grabbed his mouth and tore it apart.

Soon Roy in the mirror tore off his own jaw, and the scene was very bloody.

Immediately afterwards, Roy felt that his chin seemed to have a mind of its own, as if it wanted to make a solo debut.

It seems that if you see your own death in the mirror, it will also appear on your body outside the mirror.

Roy opened the Eye of Truth and looked down to see an evil spirit pulling his chin.

Unfortunately, the evil spirit wasn't strong enough to move Roy's jaw. With only 52 points of physical defense, small-caliber bullets couldn't even break his skin.

He took out the cursed dagger and stabbed the evil spirit in front of him to death. Roy in the mirror disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Roy suddenly came up with an idea.

There seems to be a large number of evil spirits in this ghost mirror. The strength of each of these evil spirits is actually quite average, and they only have certain abilities when they gather together.

She is completely incomparable to Sadako and Kayako.

So, can we kill these evil spirits and only a few of them remain, so that we can keep the ghost mirror effect while making this thing safer and more controllable?

Roy felt that he could try this method.

So, Roy continued to approach the mirror, and a bloody hand suddenly appeared on the mirror. The bloody hand appeared directly inside the mirror, not on the surface of the mirror.

Can you enter the mirror world?

Roy showed a hint of interest.

There are many urban legends about mirrors, one of which is about the world in the mirror. It is said that this world is a world completely opposite to reality, but no one has ever actually seen that world.

Now Roy is ready to go in and take a look.

Reaching out to the location of the bloody handprint on the mirror, Roy was immediately pulled in by the powerful suction force.

Behind the mirror was a world darker than the real world. It was still in that large shopping mall, but it looked very old and had traces of burning everywhere.

This doesn't seem normal, and it's too different from the real world. This should be an evil spirit space created by evil spirits with resentment, not a pure mirror world.

The ability of evil spirit space can be achieved by any powerful evil spirit.

For example, Kayako once recreated the process of her own death in the movie "The Grudge", and Roy should be in the same situation now.

A circle of burned evil spirits stood around. In the evil spirit space, they would appear in physical form. A group of people were all charred, and their eyes were filled with hatred for the living.

"Hello! You're so welcoming. Do you want my autograph?"

Roy greeted the evil spirits with a smile, but the evil spirits did not appreciate it at all and began to approach Roy step by step.

"Really? You have no manners at all! Sadako, Kayako, come out!"

Two female ghosts in white emerged from the cursed daggers.

Sadako and Kayako have been receiving Roy's positive energy for a long time. Now, except for their extremely pale skin, they can no longer be distinguished from humans in appearance.

It was in stark contrast to the charred evil spirits at the scene.

"Sadako, Kayako, absorb these evil spirits. Remember not to absorb them all but leave a few."

Sadako and Kayako nodded obediently, and then started to work.

Most evil spirits have very low intelligence and instinctively harbor ill will towards the living without considering the difference in strength between the two sides.

After Sadako and Kayako received Roy's positive energy, their intelligence soared and they were no worse than normal people.

The battle began, and Sadako's hair suddenly began to grow rapidly. She rolled up the wet black hair and dragged the nearest evil spirits in front of her, then stuffed them directly into her mouth.

Kayako was not willing to be left behind. She lay on the ground and rushed into the pile of evil spirits with a strange posture, devouring them everywhere.

These evil spirits that were burned to death were no match for the two female ghosts, and the scene was a complete massacre.

How cruel!

Roy is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see such a cruel scene, so he can only turn his back and look at the special features of the world in the mirror.

After observing it for a while, it seems that the world in the mirror has no special features except that it is reversed left to right compared to the real world.

Just as he was thinking about it, the evil spirits that were burned to death were unwilling to be slaughtered by Sadako and Kayako, and they merged together and turned into a huge gray undead ghost.

Hey, there are actually exciting combo skills?
Sadako and Kayako looked at Roy. The two female ghosts looked a little helpless. It was obvious that such a large undead was not easy to deal with.

"Why are you looking at me? Fine, I'll lend you my cursed daggers. Keep up the good work!"

Roy had decided to watch the show. After all, he'd worked hard for over half a year, so why not enjoy himself? Sadako and Kayako caught the cursed daggers. The two daggers contained most of the two ghost girls' power. Only when they held the cursed daggers could they be fully realized.

The battle continues!

Sadako's long hair becomes even more terrifying, completely changing the terrain of the scene.

The ceiling, the feet, and the walls were all covered with Sadako's wet black hair. Some of the black hair was formed into the shape of a chair for Roy to sit down and watch the fight.

Doesn’t this widen the road?

Roy sat on the soft hair chair and gave Sadako an admiring look.

Kayako on the other side was no less capable. Several arms grew on her spirit body. She quickly crawled towards the giant undead and used her own arms to control the giant undead's body.

The place where Kayako's arm was holding quickly turned dark. The arm of this female ghost actually contained the power of curse, and even the huge undead, which was also an evil spirit, could not resist it.

The giant undead began to become frightened. Perhaps it was because the number of evil spirits it had merged with had increased its intelligence. This guy finally realized that he had kicked the steel plate.

This guy no longer had any intention of killing Roy and just wanted to run away quickly.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to run away. The entire mall was covered with Sadako's hair, and the huge undead couldn't move an inch.

Sadako continued to grow her hair, wrapping it around the giant undead's limbs, leaving her completely unable to resist.

Then, the two female ghosts used the cursed dagger to cut the body of the giant undead and devour it.

The giant undead's body burned with green flames, trying to make a last stand.

This green flame has a certain lethality to spirits, and for a moment it prevented Sadako and Kayako from getting close to the giant undead spirit.

However, Sadako and Kayako were not easy to deal with either. The two female ghosts shook hands and stood in front of the huge undead, and then some black liquid gushed out of the ground.

It's very similar to the thing that would be produced when killing evil spirits before.

The pitch-black liquid quickly covered the giant undead, extinguishing the green flames on its body.

After that, Sadako and Kayako can continue their meal.

Finally, after losing two-thirds of its body, the giant undead finally exploded and split into the evil spirits that were burned to death before.

[Ding! Received the Mirror Spirit's Destiny Treasure Chest! Open it?]

Hey, the evil spirits killed by Sadako and Kayako can also obtain the treasure chest of destiny?

Roy sat up straight in an instant.

Theoretically speaking, Sadako and Kayako can be considered the spirits of the Cursed Daggers. They are both Roy's property, so being killed by them is also considered being killed by Roy.

This is really an unexpected gain!
After the death of the Mirror Spirit, only a few burned undead souls were left shivering in the corner, and even the evil spirit space could not be maintained.

Roy felt that it was about time, so he asked Sadako and Kayako to stop.

In fact, the two female ghosts had eaten an average of seventy or eighty evil spirits. They were already a little full, and their stomachs were slightly bulging, but the evil spirit instinct prevented them from stopping eating on their own initiative.

However, as soon as Roy gave the order, Sadako and Kayako stopped obediently.

Ignoring the trembling evil spirits, Roy was more interested in the world outside the mall.

Roy wondered if this mirror world only included this shopping mall or if it was much wider.

Gently pushing open the door of the mall, Roy saw a world that was completely reversed from reality, except that he didn't see any FEA agents.

In the distance is the brightly lit city of Los Angeles, and everything seems to be no different from the real world.

The only difference is probably the sky in the mirror world. Red lightning constantly flashes across the black night sky. The weather in this world seems to be very bad.

So are there humans in this world too?

Are the humans here and the humans in the real world just different in that left and right are reversed?
Roy's curiosity grew, so he asked Sadako and Kayako to guard his retreat while he prepared to go out and explore a little.

You can see that the surroundings of the shopping mall in the mirror world are the same as those in the real world, except for the left and right directions.

But after walking a few steps, some fog rose around Roy, which made him alert.

Roy hurried back to the mall, closed the door again, and sealed it with wooden boards on the ground to prevent the evil spirits in the mirror world from running away.

After finishing all this, Roy returned to the real world through the mirror.

This mirror can actually travel between the two worlds. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to hand it over to FEA.

I'd better explain this to Saltana.

Roy covered the mirror with canvas again and walked out of the mall.

Seeing Roy appear, Saltana immediately came forward to greet him.

"Roy, what's the situation? Are you hurt?"

"Do I look injured to you?"

Roy showed up playfully.

"Okay, I know you're awesome! Tell me about that mirror!"

"I've killed most of the evil spirits in the mirror, leaving only a few. This way the mirror can still retain some power, but it's not too dangerous. However, the most troublesome thing about this mirror is not the evil spirits inside."

This surprised Saltana.

"what is that?"

Roy looked around.

"Let's get in the car!"

Roy got into a second-hand yellow Chevrolet Camaro, started the car, and drove towards the Dolphin Hotel while explaining to Saltana.

"I discovered a world in a mirror!"

"The Mirror World?"

Saltana was a little surprised.

"Yes, on the surface, that world is just the reverse of the real world, but I don't think it's that simple! In that world, evil spirits can exist directly in the flesh, so I suspect that the physical rules of the mirror world and the real world are different!"

Saltana frowned and thought, seeming to feel that the situation was tricky.

"That sounds complicated. Have you seen any humans in the mirror world?"

"No. I thought that world was weird, so I didn't explore it too deeply. It just so happened that in that world, the mall had also experienced a fire, so there weren't many people around."

Saltana thought about it and felt that this matter was not something she could decide at her level.

"I'll report this to Gerald and see what he thinks."

"You must, must, must be careful with that mirror!"

Roy used three "musts" to emphasize his attitude, and Saltana nodded carefully, indicating that she understood.

At this moment, Roy suddenly noticed a figure in the middle of the road ahead.
