American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 221: The Party Without Me
At the same time, Elizabeth, who was far away in the manor in Falls Town, was leisurely enjoying red wine.

Suddenly, Elizabeth felt a change in Roy's brand, and she immediately frowned.

"Strange, is someone trying to snatch someone from me? I want to see what happens!"

As she spoke, Elizabeth snapped her fingers, and a projection screen appeared in front of her, showing Jennifer and Claire.

This was actually a projection image shown from Roy's perspective.

"It turns out to be Lilith. What does this guy want to do?"

Of course, Roy couldn't see anything from his perspective, so Elizabeth snapped her fingers again.

In an instant, Roy's body was surrounded by hellfire and released a terrifying shock wave.

Lilith was blown away by the shock wave and hit the wall.

"Hmph! Let me teach you a lesson first! But Roy looks weird, what happened?"

After thinking for a moment, Elizabeth sighed.

"Oh, let's go check it out! Seriously, what I hate most is trouble!"

Elizabeth snapped her fingers a third time, and another Elizabeth appeared in the room. This Elizabeth was as vivid as a twin.

"I can only ask you to help me with the class for a few days."

The scene switched back to Roy's side. Lilith hit the wall and vomited blood. Claire next to her was shocked.

Are magic rituals really that dangerous?

In fact, the hellfire will not hurt Roy. It is simply used by Elizabeth to restrict others from getting close to Roy.

Lilith is the one who is really miserable... No, this guy is using Jennifer's body now, so Jennifer is the one who suffers more.

【Ding! 】

"Lilith, are you okay?"

In a hurry, Roy called out Lilith's real name.

After Lilith sprayed blood, her face turned slightly pale, but soon regained its rosy complexion. This was Jennifer's witch talent taking effect, allowing her to quickly recover from the physical damage she had suffered.

"Roy, why didn't you tell me you had signed a contract with a great demon?"

Lilith's face looked quite ugly, just like an angel investor who thought he had discovered an emerging unicorn (a company with the potential to become an industry leader), but turned out to find that one of the shareholders of this unicorn company was a super-rich person who had signed a priority investment agreement.

Roy scratched his head. He did have Belial's mark on his body, but he didn't know it was also a kind of contract.

"Don't contracts require signatures or blood? I've never done that!"

Lilith judged from Roy's expression that Roy was unaware of the contract he had and could only blame himself for his bad luck.

"Those great demons will always find ways to find loopholes to force you to sign a contract, like using fallen hair, accidentally dripping blood, or even sexual fluids! As far as I know, only the King of Pride and the King of Sloth disdain such tricks. They are also the demon wizards' favorite targets for contracts."

Hearing this, Roy's expression became strange.

Don't say it, don't say it!
Roy didn't know what Lucifer's credibility was, but whether Belial played tricks or not depended entirely on her mood.

Roy now suspected that Elizabeth used his semen as proof of the contract and then created the mark on Roy.

At that time, Roy had wondered if there would be any problem with this brand, and now it had come true.

"Lilith, has my ritual failed?"

Lilith nodded helplessly.

"Yes, and it's a big failure. You should be able to feel the changes in your body."

He didn't feel anything about the changes in his body, but Roy could feel that his mood had become inexplicably depressed and heavy.

It's similar to the feeling of having your uncle or the egg-changing period.

Well, men have a few days every month when they feel bad.

Did a system prompt appear just now?

Roy opened the system panel and saw a new system message.

[You have gained the special ability Death's Gaze! ]

[Death's Gaze: Because of your actions, the Death will pay special attention to you! This may be a bad thing, or it may be a good thing.]

At this time, the hellfire on Roy's body gradually dissipated, and Claire discovered that in addition to Beryl's mark on Roy's chest, there was another black pattern.

"Roy, there seems to be a new eye pattern on your chest!"

Because his chest muscles were too big, Roy usually found it difficult to see what was on his chest. It was only after Claire reminded him that Roy realized it.

"Is there a mirror?"

How could a woman not carry a mirror? Even if she didn’t carry a wallet, she would not carry a mirror.

Lilith quickly pulled a small mirror from her pocket and handed it to Roy.

Sure enough, Roy saw a black eye pattern in the center of his chest, just like a tattoo.

(Approximate appearance of the Death Eye pattern)

The eye looks vivid and lifelike, giving people a strong sense of unease.

Lilith stood up and looked at Roy.

"This is the Eye of Death. It is said that only those who are noticed by the God of Death have this pattern."

From what she heard, it seemed like Lilith had seen this pattern before.

"Have you seen anyone else with this pattern?"

Lilith nodded.

"Yes. As far as I know, all those who have obtained this pattern are terrifying figures in history, such as Gilgamesh."

There is actually something about Jin Shanshan?

Then I have to believe it!

"Does this mark of the Death Eye have any effect?"

"I'm not sure about that. There are too few historical samples, so it's hard to judge."

It was normal for Lilith not to understand the Eye of Death. She was backstabbed by her daughter a long time ago, that is, after the Great Flood, which was almost the end of the Epic Age, so she didn't know much about what happened in the subsequent era.

The character of Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk in the early epic period.

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time."

Since the situation has come to this, Roy can only stand up and put his clothes back on.

If all else fails, I can only go to Elizabeth to solve this problem, just like the mark of the King of Greed last time.

At worst, he would have to sacrifice his looks again. Roy was already used to it.

"Little Roy, I'm actually a little curious about how you signed a contract with the King of Sloth. You know, the last person to sign a contract with the King of Sloth was King Solomon."

As an ancient witch, it was impossible for Lilith not to recognize that the mark on Roy came from Belial.

“I don’t know why I signed it.”

Roy laughed.

There are some things you can say to Jennifer, but not to Lilith.

However, if Jennifer knew, Lilith would know, so Roy had to keep it a secret from both of them. Lilith knew he didn't want to talk about it when she saw Roy was evasive. Lilith was a smart woman, so she wouldn't ask questions directly.

At this time, there were light footsteps outside the door, as if someone was coming.

In the middle of the night, the sound of footsteps could only be the nurse coming to check on the ward. After all, the noise of Lilith being thrown away was quite loud. Maybe the people in the next ward were scared and complained.

Roy didn't have time to clean up the traces of the magic circle on the ground, so he put the upright bed back first, which almost covered the magic circle.

As for the candles, they were all extinguished and kicked under the bed, and then Claire lay back down.

The nurse on rounds pushed open the door and took a look at the situation inside the ward. Seeing Roy, Lilith and Claire looking flustered and disheveled, she immediately became dissatisfied.

"The hospital is not the place for you to have a large party!"

The key point is that they didn’t even invite me to the party with so many people!

The nurse looked at Roy's face and the strong chest muscles under his clothes, and her saliva was almost flowing.

Roy felt that the nurse's eyes were a little too direct, so he quickly apologized to her and finally coaxed her out with a few kind words.

"Roy, I can't solve the problem of the Eye of Death. You can only be careful on your own."

Lilith sighed, and a hint of sympathy could be seen in her eyes.

"It's okay, I'll figure it out myself. Claire, take a break. I'll take Jennifer out."

The two came to the parking lot.

"Lilith, I still have to rely on you to keep an eye on the witch school."

Speaking of which, Roy has been in New York for three days. During these three days, he has actually been in contact with Madison, so he also knows the general situation in the witch school.

At least Emma lived a very comfortable life. Madison, Zoe and Maria all wanted to be her cousin-in-law, and they were all very enthusiastic towards her.

The Supreme Witch Fiona has been elusive for the past three days, which makes people feel something is not right.

"Are you sending me to Boston?"

Lilith raised her eyebrows at Roy with an ambiguous expression.

"No, this car of mine is going to take you to Boston."

Lilith looked at the Chevrolet Camaro and her eyes almost popped out of her head.

"Wait a minute, isn't this your car? How did it end up in New York?"

Jennifer felt a little guilty about this because she knew that the second-hand yellow Chevrolet Camaro meant a lot to Roy, and it was lost in her hands.

"It came here on its own, so it's a good opportunity to take you to Boston."

"It came here automatically? Could it be some kind of alchemical tool with self-awareness?"

Lilith was half right. Bumblebee does have self-awareness, but it is a scientific silicon-based creature, not an alchemical tool.

As a witch who had not received modern education, Lilith certainly could not understand what this meant, but she only needed to know that Bumblebee would take her to the apartment that Roy rented in Boston.

After getting in the car and driving a distance, Lilith immediately showed a tired expression and switched back to Jennifer.

"Lilith, why didn't you tell Roy that you were injured?"

It turned out that the energy shock released by Elizabeth just now not only hurt Jennifer's body, but also caused some trauma to Lilith's soul.

"You absolutely can't tell me! I just felt the Sloth Queen's gaze sweep over Roy. She must have spotted me. I can't show any sign of weakness!"

Unfortunately, Lilith's efforts were completely in vain. Elizabeth had known of her existence for a long time, and what she said in the car was heard by Bumblebee, and Roy would definitely know it afterwards.

Jennifer was silent for a while. She already had some guesses in her mind, but since Roy didn't want to tell Lilith, she wouldn't tell Lilith either.

However, Lilith still noticed Jennifer's mental activities.

"Jennifer, do you know something?"

"No, I know nothing."

As her strength increased, Jennifer was able to resist Lilith's mental detection.

"Well, you two really have a tacit understanding. Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Jennifer, I need to sleep for a while to recover. Call me if there's an emergency."

"Ok."

The Bumblebee was driving quickly on the road, and it started to drizzle.

Let’s go back to a few hours ago.

Emma's dormitory at Robichaux School for Gifted Girls, Boston.

The newly formed Apocalypse Society is holding a team-building event in this dormitory.

The reason for choosing this dormitory is that Maria and Carrie are both members of the Apocalypse Society, and Emma can be regarded as a non-staff member of the Apocalypse Society.

Team building here is the safest and will not affect other little witches.

Emma: When did I become a non-staff member?

"I'm so bored! I really want to go out and find Roy!"

Because of the previous nightclub incident, Principal Cardilia began to crack down on students secretly going out at night, which resulted in Madison having to stay in school for the past few days.

Madison's personality makes her want to have sex with Roy every day, but now she can only act coquettishly in front of Zoe and the others every day.

Maria nudged Madison.

"Don't say that, Emma will hear it!"

Emma was sitting on her bed reading a book at the moment. She was learning the knowledge in the witch school eagerly.

The education in the witch school is actually a typical American free-range style. Whether or not to learn depends entirely on the students' own attitude.

Therefore, most of the witches who graduated could only learn some basic witchcraft, and could only rely on their own witch talents after graduation.

However, today's society no longer has the witch hunts that existed in the past, and it is even more impossible to make a fortune by using witchcraft, so these witches will eventually have to integrate into society, get married and have children, so there is no need to learn witchcraft too well.

At least Fiona should think so, so she indulges her daughter Cardilia in a happy education.

But Emma didn't think so. She wanted to learn powerful witchcraft to cure her father who had become a vegetable, and also to atone for her sins, so she studied very seriously.

"It's okay, just say whatever you want. Brother Roy was very popular in his hometown, and many girls were attracted to him."

Emma was already used to this.

Not to mention Jennifer and Needy, the same is true for Nancy, who has a good relationship with the two.

Bored Madison wanted to smoke a cigarette to relax, but as soon as she took out her cigarette, Maria snatched it away.

"Give me one too!"

Zoe quickly stopped the two of them.

"Are you crazy? The smoke will attract Cardilia!"

"So what do you think we should do? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing until bedtime? I asked you to find a way to get Roy into school, but you can't think of one!"

Zoe was speechless.

"You're really full of yellow ideas. Aren't we already thinking of a solution?"

At this time, Carrie, who had been silent, suddenly raised her hand.

"If you're really bored, why not play with the Ouija board?"
