American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 55 Maintenance of the Gear Lever

After returning to the Japanese-style B&B, Roy saw Heather sitting in front of the TV waiting for him to come back.

The two of them hugged each other and watched TV for a while. A soap opera was playing on TV.

However, Roy had no interest in this meaningless soap opera, he just liked it because Heather liked it.

As he watched, Roy began to lose his focus.

Do I still have two treasure chests left to open? Why not open them now?
Thinking about this, Roy grabbed the dough and kneaded it, hoping to get some extra luck.

This made Heather's body go limp quickly, as if all the bones had been pulled out.

"Roy, I'm still feeling a little unwell!"

"It's okay, my hands just feel a little itchy and I want to rub something, that's all."

Hearing this, Heather changed her position to allow Roy to show off his dough kneading skills more conveniently.

System, open the conquest treasure chest of Kawamaya Gayako!

[Opening Kawamatsu Gayako's Conquest Treasure Chest...]

【Gain 2 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

Roy was a little disappointed that he only got 4 spiritual attribute points and no summoned beast or anything.

Could it be that his luck was bad today and even Heather couldn't help him?

At this time, Roy suddenly felt his zipper being unzipped. It seemed that Heather sensed his change and was about to help him maintain the gear lever.

Well, the maintenance of the gear lever is all about controlling the temperature and humidity, and the technical requirements are very high.

Heather was obviously a novice. She had probably only watched some video tutorials before and had never practiced it herself.

However, under Roy's patient guidance, Heather quickly became proficient.

During this process, Roy let the system open the second treasure chest.

[Opening Yamamura Sadako's Conquest Treasure Box...]

【Gain 2 spiritual attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

【Obtain Cursed Hair! 】

I still got 4 spiritual attribute points, but maybe because it's a ghost, I can't get any physical attributes.

Fortunately, props came out this time.

[Cursed Hair: Black hair wet with resentment from evil spirits, capable of infinite growth and possessing extreme flexibility.]

Hair?
Roy remembered that he had pulled Sadako's hair in the car before, and it was indeed very flexible.

If Sadako hadn't cut off her hair on her own initiative, Roy would definitely have pulled Sadako out.

It is a prop with certain functionality, better than nothing.

When Roy came to his senses, he immediately felt that Heather's diligent maintenance work was like protecting a precious treasure, which made him feel very happy both physically and mentally.

So, Roy could no longer bear it, and the gear lever accidentally leaked oil.

Fortunately, Heather reacted in time and tried to catch all the leaked oil, but she overestimated her receiving ability and underestimated the amount of oil leaking.

This caused a lot of oil to leak out of her nostrils, almost choking Heather.

Roy quickly patted Heather on the back.

"Heather, don't push yourself next time."

"Ahem! I just didn't expect the amount to be so large!"

Of course, there is a word called animation volume, and that refers to Roy. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

After taking care of the gear lever, Roy quietly held Heather in his arms and watched the soap opera together.

You know what, if you forget your brain, soap operas can be quite interesting.

Late at night, Roy's phone suddenly rang. "Hello, who is this?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was intermittent, but if you listened carefully, you could still tell it was Kelly's voice.

"Roy...it's me! Something happened at my house...come quickly...to me!"

Kelly's voice was tearful and she was obviously very scared.

Roy frowned, guessing that the plot of a horror movie had happened.

"Hey! Kelly, speak clearly! What happened?"

But the phone went busy at this moment.

Heather in Roy's arms heard the noise and asked him curiously.

"Roy, what's wrong? I think I heard a girl's voice?"

"It's the neighbor next door. Something seems to have happened in their house."

"Really? What happened?"

Roy put his phone away and stood up.

"I don't know exactly what happened yet. I'll go check it out now. Heather, stay home and don't run around. Make sure you carry Sadako's dagger with you. She'll protect you!"

"Roy, you should be more careful too!"

"Don't worry, Heather, I'm invincible!"

After saying this, Roy walked out of the Japanese-style B&B.

The B&B that Kelly's family rented was just next door, just a few steps away, but Roy found that the B&B seemed to be covered by some translucent substance.

The light seemed to be affected by this substance, which made the area around Kelly's B&B darker.

Is this some kind of barrier?
Roy pulled out the Kayako dagger and tentatively reached into the area, only to find that the front end of the dagger was missing.

When he pulled the dagger back, he found that it was intact and no part was missing.

Roy immediately understood the purpose of this translucent substance. It was probably a barrier that could distort vision and hearing, preventing people outside from seeing or hearing what was inside the barrier.

No wonder the B&B where I live is so close to Kelly’s B&B, but I didn’t hear any movement just now.

It's likely that Kelly's phone was also affected by this barrier.

After figuring it out, Roy immediately stepped into the barrier, and the world he saw immediately changed. He saw a middle-aged woman lying at the door of the B&B with a large pool of blood under her body.

Roy hurried over to check and found that the middle-aged woman had been stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp weapon, but was still breathing.

"hold onto!"

"Please, please, save, save my child!"

This woman should be Kelly's mother. Even in such a dangerous situation, the first thing she thought of was her child.

"Don't talk for now. I'll simply stop the bleeding for you and then go save your child!"

Kelly's mother had lost so much blood that she would probably die if she didn't get emergency treatment.

Fortunately, Roy had experienced so many incidents and had some experience in first aid. He bandaged Kelly's mother in just a few minutes and then began to ask her for details.

"Ma'am, what attacked you?"

"A doll, a moving doll, attacked my husband! I asked the children to hide and tried to lure the doll away, but it caught up and stabbed me!"

A doll that likes to stab people with a knife?
Roy immediately thought of the horror movie "Child's Play".

"Madam, please hold on a little longer. I will go and save your child right now."

Kelly's mother couldn't help but feel worried when she saw how young Roy was, only a few years older than her daughter.

"Kid, you'd better call the police right away. That doll is very scary."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm the best at dealing with these weird things!"
