American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 47 Digital Video Camera

Roy thought that the two hours he set to reach Aspen was already quite generous, after all, Aspen was only a hundred kilometers away from Denver.

But I didn't expect that when we were about to reach the foot of Aspen Snowmass, we would encounter a traffic jam.

Looking at the long convoy moving at a snail's pace ahead, Roy felt that it might take even three hours to reach the B&B he had booked.

It was getting a bit boring and there was no one to talk to since Heather was currently sleeping in the back of the car.

Roy suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a treasure chest of destiny that had not been opened, so he might as well open it now.

System, open Mason's treasure chest of destiny!
[Opening Mason's treasure chest of destiny...]

【Gain 1 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

【Get Mason's digital video camera! 】

Only 1 point of Willpower attribute was revealed, but Roy was mentally prepared for this.

Mason is just an ordinary person, so he definitely can't get many attribute points. However, Roy didn't expect that he would get the other person's food.

Mason's digital camera: This camera has witnessed too many horrific deaths in Mason's hands. Under the influence of the wronged souls, the camera has undergone some changes, and you can see things that are normally invisible through it.

It seems that it is possible to capture ghosts through Mason's digital camera?
Roy immediately took out a digital video camera from his inventory and took some pictures, then turned the camera to Heather who was sleeping in the back seat.

Heather frowned, as if she was having a nightmare.

Roy was about to put away the digital camera when he noticed on the camera's monitor that there seemed to be a faint black line hanging from the roof of the car onto Heather's face.

The pixels of digital cameras of this era are relatively low, so you may not be able to see these black lines unless you look carefully.

When Roy moved the digital camera away and looked with his naked eyes, he found that there was nothing on Heather's face.

What the hell is this?

Roy reached out to pull the black string, but his hand went straight through it.

Well, it seems that we really encountered a ghost, and the laws of physics have no effect on them.

Fortunately, Roy now has the Key of Solomon, and he happens to know some simple ways to directly contact spirits.

Close your eyes and calm your mind, then guide the power of your mind to release the constraints of your body.

Soon, a faint blue light appeared on one of Roy's hands. This was the power of the mind.

Solomon's knowledge contained many powerful magics, but none of them were suitable for Roy because his memory and mental attributes were too low.

For wizards, 20 points of memory and mental attributes are just the basics.

So Roy could only use this method of ancient wizards to train their own mental power to deal with the intangible black line.

Reaching out to grab the black line again, Roy successfully touched the black line this time, and then he pulled it hard.

Through the digital camera, we can see that more black lines appear on the roof. Upon closer inspection, we find that these black lines are actually hair.

"Come down you!"

Roy began to exert force, trying to pull out the owner of the hair directly. At this time, the 24-point strength was fully exerted. The thing on the roof was pulled out little by little, and the head could be vaguely seen.

The long black hair was so thick that even programmers would envy it, and even his entire face was covered by it.

There is no doubt about it, it is definitely Sadako Yamamura!
Sadako soon realized that she was no match for Roy in terms of strength, so she cut off her hair and disappeared.

"Fuck! You're really fast!"

Without the influence of Sadako's hair, Heather's expression relaxed while she was sleeping, and she seemed to be sleeping more soundly.

Just then, the congested convoy ahead seemed to start moving, so Roy put the digital camera on the passenger seat and continued driving.

In the end, Roy arrived at Snowmass 45 minutes later than expected. "Roy, I just had a really weird dream! I dreamed I was in a pitch-black well and couldn't get out. I was so scared! Then I suddenly heard your voice, and a white light descended from the sky, and I emerged from the well!"

Heather held Roy and told him about her dream.

The two were now refueling at the Snowmass gas station and drinking some hot coffee to refresh themselves.

Roy's heart moved after hearing Heather's story.

Sadako's hair did have an effect on Heather. This female ghost probably used this method to gradually transfer the power of the curse to those who watched the videotape.

"Really? So that's my contribution? How are you going to reward me?"

Heather stood on tiptoe and left a noticeable lip print on Roy's nose.

"This is my reward."

"Heather, this reward isn't enough!"

"Well—can I give you the rest tonight?"

"I'll charge interest then! Heather, wait here for a moment. I'll make a phone call."

After finishing the hot coffee in his hand, Roy prepared to contact the real estate agent he had agreed on earlier.

Bored Heather suddenly noticed a digital camera in the car. She thought Roy had secretly bought it to record his vacation life, so she happily started to fiddle with it.

"Hello, is this the real estate agent? I'm already in Snowmass. Where are you?"

"Why are you here... now? I've already arranged... the accommodation... according to your requirements. You come... here!"

There was a lot of noise on the real estate agent's phone, and some of the content was impossible to hear clearly.

"Hello? Your cell signal is bad, I can't hear you clearly! Tell me the address again!"

"In...! In the small town of Snowmass... a Japanese-style guesthouse. It's great..."

Roy still didn't hear the address clearly the second time, and the real estate agent's call was disconnected.

Roy was speechless. Isn't America's infrastructure too bad?
From the information he just heard, Roy roughly guessed that what the real estate agent meant was that there was only one Japanese-style B&B in Snowdrift Mountain that was easy to find.

In that case, let's just drive around the town.

After returning to the car, Roy saw Heather excitedly filming everywhere with her digital camera.

"Roy, did you buy this digital camera specially for this?"

"Well, sort of. Heather, this digital camera is actually used to film ghosts."

"What? Photographing a ghost?"

"Heather, do you remember the videotape you saw in the motel in the middle of the night? It was actually a cursed videotape. Anyone who watched it would die tragically within seven days."

At this point Heather thought Roy was joking.

"Roy, it's not time to tell ghost stories yet! If you want to tell any, wait until tonight!"

"Listen to me, Heather! This isn't a joke, and it's not a ghost story! I was looking for the tape at the motel to confirm this, and don't you always feel a little strange after watching it?"

Hearing this, Heather finally began to get scared.

"Roy, what should we do?"

"Heather, trust me, I will protect you!"
