American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 183 Tai Chi Bahuang

When Nidi saw Roy's serious expression, she immediately knew that it was a very important matter.

"How about I go out first?"

Jennifer shook her head.

"No need. Needy already knows everything about me."

It seems that in this month, Jennifer has confessed everything to Needy, including her relationship with Roy and the other soul Lilith in her body.

In this case, Roy no longer avoided Neddy.

"How's Emma doing lately?"

When Jennifer heard that it was about Emma, ​​her expression became strange.

"Let Lilith tell you about Emma."

After saying that, Jennifer closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her temperament had changed and she became charming and seductive.

"Ah, it's Master Roy who's back. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Needy looked at Roy and Lilith in shock. She didn't expect them to play so many tricks.

As a homebody who often surfs the Internet, Needy actually knows everything she should know and has very solid theoretical knowledge. She may even know more than Jennifer in some aspects, but she just doesn't have practical experience. That's why she can understand Lilith's words the first time.

Feeling Needy's strange gaze, Roy's face darkened.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me Master?"

Lilith deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"Really? But I remember you were so excited when you heard me call you Master!"

Tai Chi is the world!
The wheel of the car hit Nidi's face directly, making her regret why she stayed here.

"I, I'd better go out. You guys can chat slowly!"

Needy's face flushed red, and she stood up and wanted to run away. Roy quickly grabbed her, otherwise she would not be able to explain herself.

"Stop! Let's not talk about this anymore! Lilith, I just want to ask you about Emma."

Lilith finally stopped joking and started talking about serious matters.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Emma will soon awaken her witch talent."

"So fast?"

Roy also learned some information about witches. He knew that witches were no different from normal people when they were born. It was not until they reached adolescence and experienced severe emotional fluctuations that their witch talents would awaken.

For example, Jennifer awakened after the Halloween incident last year, but she didn't realize it at the time.

Needy looked at Roy and Lilith strangely.

"Wouldn't it be bad if the witch awakened?"

Lilith explained that she had a good relationship with Needy.

"It's not that simple. When a witch awakens, she will create obvious supernatural phenomena. The more powerful the witch, the more likely this is to happen. The fluctuations generated during this awakening will attract the attention of the Witch Union!"

Lilith has mentioned the Witch Union more than once. When Roy was in Los Angeles before, he had asked Saltana about the Witch Union.

The Witches' Coven was founded in the late seventeenth century in response to the famous Salem Witch Trials.

In 1692, the daughter of a pastor in Salem, Massachusetts, America, suddenly fell ill with a strange disease. The church believed that it was caused by a witch, so the local church began a witch hunt. Innocent people were constantly persecuted. In the end, a total of 19 people were hanged and 1 person was crushed to death by a pile of stones.

This is Roy's explanation of the Salem Witch Trials in his previous life. The impact of this event was so far-reaching that it is often adapted or mentioned in various cultural products in America.

In this world, the Salem Witch Trials were different. It was indeed a witch who awakened her talent and lost control, which led to a series of tragedies.

So, some witches at that time decided to unite, on the one hand to fight against the church's pursuit, and on the other hand to prevent new witches from causing similar tragedies when they awakened.

In modern times, the power of the Church has weakened, and the Witch Federation has had a much easier time.

The Witch Federation now has a cooperative relationship with the FEA, but the Witch Federation's main activities are on the East Coast and are not common in the West.

"The Witch Union possesses some kind of prop that can monitor the fluctuations when a witch awakens. As long as a witch awakens, they will be discovered and taken away."

Lilith certainly doesn't want Emma to be taken away by the Witch Union. After all, this little girl has extraordinary talent. If she is taken away by the Witch Union, it will be equivalent to strengthening her daughter's power.

Hearing this, Nidi felt a little strange again.

"Then why didn't the Witch Union show up when Jennifer awakened?"

"That's because I woke up at the same time as Jennifer. I used witchcraft to mask the fluctuations caused by Jennifer's awakening, so the Witch Union didn't discover it."

After this explanation, Nidi understood.

Then Roy became confused again.

"Why did Emma awaken so early? This seems a bit abnormal!"

There is a reason why witches awaken their talents during puberty. During this period, their bodies and minds have reached the conditions for awakening, so they can awaken.

But Emma is only eight years old now, and her body does not meet the standards for awakening.

Lilith pursed her lips.

"I guess Emma must have a special bloodline in her body, which makes her spirit stronger than that of ordinary witches, so she can awaken early, but this also means that she is more dangerous."

In ancient times, whether angels, demons, humans or any other monsters, they were all able to walk freely in the world, so many messy bloodlines were born.

But one day, Grandpa Ye suddenly felt that this situation could not continue, so he caused a flood to cleanse the entire world.

Most creatures with special bloodlines became extinct in the flood, but a small number of special bloodlines still survived.

For example, Jennifer, she is the one who has the blood of the original witch Lilith.

"Then do you know what Emma's special bloodline is?"

Lilith shook her head.

"I'm not sure. Emma doesn't show any signs of atavism, but it's definitely not the bloodline of some higher plane. It's very likely related to Hell. That's why this little guy's personality is so weird and extreme."

Emma's personality is indeed very gloomy, not like a normal child.

Roy has also come into contact with several children of similar age to Emma in the past few days, such as Ceci and Mike.

Mike was even the same age as Emma and they might go to the same elementary school, but although Mike was introverted, he wasn't as awkward as Emma.

Roy looked thoughtful, and then thought of another question.

"I think Emma seems a little scared of you, what's going on?"

"I wanted to help Emma conceal the fluctuations of her witch awakening, but for some reason this child was always very resistant to me, so I played a little trick, and then she started to be afraid of me."

It seems that Lilith frightened Emma, ​​causing a shadow in the child's heart.

However, Emma is very polite and keeps a distance from everyone, but she seems to be particularly disgusted with Lilith or Jennifer, and no one knows why.

"Okay, then I'll take Emma back tonight and try to persuade her."

Lilith curled her lips.

"I don't think you need to bother with this. Although this little girl is young, she's quite thoughtful. I wonder what kind of family could raise a child like this."

Indeed, Emma's situation is very special.

After talking about Emma, ​​Roy continued to chat with Needy and Lilith for a while, until Needy's mother Rebecca came and knocked on the door and realized that it was almost midnight.

Although Rebecca and Arthur have accepted Roy as their son-in-law, it is impossible for them to let Roy stay overnight in their daughter's room.

So Roy said goodbye to Needy's family and took Emma back to his home.

Emma, ​​who was sitting in the back row, had a blank expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Thinking of Elizabeth's previous reminder to him, Roy decided to talk to Emma. "Emma, ​​have you been okay in my house for over a month?"

Emma had an impeccable, perfect smile on her face, brighter than the toothpaste commercials on TV.

"Not bad, I quite like Waterfall Town!"

"Don't you miss your old home and your father?"

Emma's eyes changed slightly, which was caught by Roy.

"Of course I miss my old home and my father. I don't know when I can go back."

Emma's mood began to decline. Every movement and expression was very precise, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

Roy frowned slightly.

Everything is perfect, but it's so fake!

Humans are not robots, so they cannot be perfect. Moreover, even robots may have bugs.

Emma's behavior made Roy feel that her problem was more serious, but her current attitude was uncooperative. It seemed that he still had to talk to his parents about a solution.

After all, Roy himself has no children and has no experience in this area.

After returning home, Emma went to the bedroom to rest, while Roy went back to his room and started making a phone call.

"Dad, I'm Roy."

"Roy? What's wrong?"

"I want to talk to you about Emma."

"Emma? Are you home yet?"

"Yes, I want to know what Emma's original family is like."

Hearing this, Philip Blake on the other end of the phone couldn't help but sigh.

"Emma's family situation is quite complicated. Her mother died of illness very early, and her father has been raising her ever since. A few months ago, Emma's father, your uncle, suddenly became mentally ill and wanted to kill Emma. Emma was lucky; a neighbor saw her and shot her father, breaking his spine. Now her father is in a vegetative state. Perhaps this incident has left a psychological shadow on Emma, ​​after all, she was persecuted by her own biological father."

Hiss, Emma actually has such a complicated past.

But Roy felt that Emma didn't seem to have any psychological trauma.

"What should I do?"

"Roy, I've already made an appointment for Emma to see a famous psychiatrist in Austin. We can't go back these days, so you can take Emma to see the doctor."

It turns out that Philip has already made arrangements, so there is nothing more to say.

"Okay, when?"

"This weekend at ten o'clock in the morning, I'll give you a contact number and address."

Roy hung up the phone, hoping that the psychiatrist could help Emma feel more normal.

Coming to Emma's bedroom, Roy took a look at the sleeping Emma.

Emma is still quite cute when she is asleep, much cuter than when she is awake.

Roy helped the little girl pull up the quilt that had slipped off and went back to rest.

The next day, Roy resumed his school life. The first thing he did was to send Emma to school, and then he took Jennifer and Needy to school.

After not appearing on campus for a month, many classmates were surprised to see Roy.

"Roy, I thought you dropped out of school?"

Roy:? ? ?
It was Nancy who spoke, and she was quite excited when she saw Roy.

"How could there be such an outrageous rumor? I just took some time off!"

Then, Carly came over.

"I think I've heard this rumor too."

Roy was very angry.

"Who spread this?"

After thinking about it for a while, Carly shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

Then Paige, who had been eavesdropping, raised her hand.

"I know, I know, Wade usually spreads this kind of gossip in school!"

Roy looked at Wade and found that he was hiding in a corner, as if he was afraid of being seen.

"Wade--"

Wade looked at Roy awkwardly.

"Boss, I just said you might be playing professionally, but somehow it got spread like you've dropped out of school."

Wade is now very afraid of Roy, fearing that Roy will beat him.

Roy was also very considerate and gave the guy an over-the-shoulder throw in public.

"Don't let me hear you making up rumors about me next time!"

"I was wrong, Boss!"

At this time, Teacher Mills just walked into the classroom. He looked at Wade lying on the ground with some surprise.

"Mr. Wade, what are you doing?"

Wade quickly got up.

"Mr. Mills, I just feel a little hot. I want to lie down on the ground to cool down."

"Mr. Wade, if you're really too hot, I suggest you go jump into the waterfall. That would be a better experience."

Mills complained expressionlessly, then officially announced the start of the class.

Roy's class is about to graduate from senior year, so the learning progress is inevitably a bit tight.

But these have nothing to do with Roy. He has already received an admission offer from UCLA. Even if he doesn't attend classes for the next few days, he can still enter UCLA.

But there are other students in the class who want to go to college, and Roy will not influence these students.

After class, Wade suddenly found Roy.

"Boss, it's time to divide the money."

"Let's go somewhere quieter to talk."

Coming to a corner where no other students could be seen, Wade took out a plastic bag full of paper and pens and handed it to Roy.

At a rough glance, it's about $100,000.

However, Roy had made a lot of money in Los Angeles and was no longer interested in this little money.

Roy calmly handed over the money, and noticed that Wade's expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Wade, do you have anything else to say?"

As if he had made up his mind, Wade asked Roy tentatively.

"Boss, I recently found some strange things, can you help me take a look?"
