American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 91 Elena

Akon is a very rare brave and resourceful protagonist in horror movies. Apart from being easily soft-hearted, he is not very certain.

But because he is easily soft-hearted, in "Night Devil", in order to save a little girl who is almost the same age as his daughter, he was caught by the Collector when he could have escaped.

In the second part of the movie, they were also morally kidnapped by the arrogant Peters and had to help them find the collector.

I don’t know how someone with such high moral standards ended up becoming a thief.

"Are you ready?"

This guy Peters really has some connections. He got a van and formed a team of five people.

The man in black who was knocked unconscious by Roy that day was also there, glaring at him.

The five-man team carried a variety of weapons, including submachine guns and shotguns, which were well-matched and all were police weapons.

Roy suspected that these people might be special police, that is, active members of SWAT, who came out to take private jobs.

"Ready!"

The four men checked their guns and then looked at Roy, who had nothing in his hands.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm armed!"

As he spoke, Roy took out the Smith & Wesson M625 and showed it to him.

"You only have a revolver?"

In fact, Roy also has a Remington 870 in his inventory, but there is no need to say such things, as they may change the situation of the battle at a critical moment.

"One revolver is enough. I've done some research and the Collectors don't like using firearms. Be careful not to hurt your own people with such powerful firepower."

Roy remembered that in the movie, this group of people seemed to have accidentally injured one of their own people.

Bedes chuckled, completely ignoring Roy's warning.

"We are trained professionals! But you, if anything gets dangerous, no one will take care of you. If you want to quit, you'd better do it now."

Peters still didn't want to share the money with Roy, and even tried to persuade him before leaving.

"Hehe, take care of yourselves first!"

Peters and his five men, plus Roy and Aken, a total of seven people got on the assault vehicle.

The reason why Akon, the protagonist of the horror movie, is said to be brave and resourceful is that this guy did not panic after being locked in a wooden box by the Collector.

Instead, they record turns and distances by scratching wounds on their arms, and in this way they can roughly calculate the location of the collector's lair.

But first we have to go to the place where Akon was captured by the Collectors that day.

After several hours of driving and searching, Roy and his team finally found a rather suspicious building, a large abandoned hotel on the outskirts of Austin.

"It should be here. I remember the Collector's lair was very large, and this hotel is the most suitable one in this area."

Peters observed the hotel from a distance, the cement on the exterior walls of which were almost falling off.

"Very good, let's go in."

With that, Peters took the lead and got out of the car.

"Wait a minute, are you guys planning to just force your way in?"

Roy glanced at Peters speechlessly.

"Of course not, Mr. Aken, please help me open the lock."

Roy slapped his face. What's the difference between this and forcing his way in?

Peters and his gang were too confident, which is why they were wiped out by the Collectors later.

"Mr. Peters, we agreed before that as long as I lead you to find the Collector, you can leave!"

"Haha, we haven't seen the Collector yet. We have to confirm that we have found the Collector and Elena before we can let you go."

This was true, but Roy knew that this was just the beginning of Peters' moral blackmail of Akon.

Aken was obviously hesitant and didn't want to get close to the Collector's lair.

"Let me do it."

Roy had previously opened a thief with special abilities from Penny's Conquest Chest, automatically gaining the theft skills, but he had never put them into practice.

The big iron door of the abandoned hotel used an old mechanical lock. Roy took out a piece of wire and poked it into the keyhole.

"Can you open the lock? Be careful not to disturb others..."

With a click, Roy had already opened the lock before Peters could finish his words.

"What did you just say?"

Peters opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. Aken next to him looked very shocked.

"Do high schools in Texas still teach lock picking? Even I'd need several minutes to open this old-fashioned iron lock!"

Is the thief's special ability so powerful?

Roy remembered that Aken's stealing skills were quite good, and he was considered above average among thieves.

It seems that the thief ability that is obtained is still valuable.

“I learned it in Hawaii.”

“Is this still taught in Hawaii?”

Aken was very surprised.

Hawaii also teaches how to fly helicopters!

Peters realized Roy was joking, rolled his eyes and pushed Akon.

"Okay, let's go in, Mr. Aken, you lead the way!"

Akon resisted a bit, but he was not as strong as Peters.

"Why? I can wait for you at the door! Don't worry, I won't run away until I get the money!"

"Don't you understand who has the final say now?"

Aken was helpless and finally had to walk into the hotel.

This hotel seems to have been specially renovated, and the internal structure looks more complicated than that of an ordinary hotel.

After walking a few steps, one of Peters' men stepped on some mechanism and the hotel door was instantly locked.

"Damn it! I'm afraid we've been discovered!"

Aken's expression turned very ugly. He knew very well how terrifying the Collector was, and the mechanism just now must have alarmed the other party.

"Really? Then why not just kill that sneaky rat openly?"

Peters was still so confident. In his eyes, the collector was like a mouse that could be strangled to death at will.

Aken is much more cautious.

"My advice is to leave a few people outside and call for backup if things go wrong."

"No need! The five of us are enough!"

Peters didn't want to share the bounty with anyone anymore, so he forced Aken to continue leading him.

At this time, the only female member of the team noticed something was wrong.

"Strange, where did that boy go?"

Hearing this, Peters looked around and found that Roy was gone.

"He didn't come in?"

A team member raised his hand and answered Peters. "That guy came in before me."

"Are you sure you want it?"

"I'm sure!"

Aken immediately thought of a possibility.

"Could the child have accidentally touched some mechanism and fallen into some trap?"

The silent disappearance of a person made Peters' team a little nervous.

"Forget about him! I told you before that this kind of thing is not for children to interfere. Let's move on!"

Peters forced the team's attention back, but Akon disagreed.

"Wait a minute, you're not taking care of that kid anymore?"

"Mr. Akon, we must first find the Collector before we can rescue everyone in this hotel. Do you understand? Lead the way!"

Roy certainly didn't fall into a trap by accident, but put on a ghost face mask in the inventory and sneaked into the shadows.

Peters and his gang are a complete makeshift group. Going with them will only lead to death. It is better to let them attract the attention of the Collector, and take the opportunity to rescue Elena and get the bounty first.

While lurking in the shadows, Roy noticed that the hotel was full of cameras.

However, the Collector couldn't just sit in the monitoring room and watch all the time. He would definitely take action. Roy just had to wait patiently for the opportunity.

On the other side, in a room in the hotel that looked like an operating room, the short-haired girl Elena was trying to save herself.

After some effort, Elena successfully used the hook on her underwear to pass through the hole in the wooden box to open the lock and escape from the big red wooden box.

Elena, who was temporarily free, looked around carefully and soon found another large wooden box. She tried to open it.

A man's body rolled out of the wooden box. It was unknown how long he had been dead, but a strong stench of decay was emanating from it.

Elena covered her nose to control her breathing, then observed the surroundings and saw an operating table.

There was a bloody person on the operating table. If you looked closely, you would find that the guy's muscles were still twitching slightly, and he was obviously still alive.

Elena walked carefully to the side of the operating table and checked on the man, only to find that the Collector had injected a large amount of psychotropic drugs into him and he seemed to have lost consciousness.

There is also a digital camera mounted next to the operating table.

It seems that the collectors were performing vivisection while recording it all with a digital camera.

When Elena thought of this, she felt extremely nauseous and her body was so nauseous that she almost vomited on the spot.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside.

Hearing the noise, Elena quickly hid under a nearby table.

Elena heard heavy footsteps walk into the room and pause in front of the big red wooden box she had just escaped from.

This made Elena feel uneasy. After she got out of the box, she forgot to close it again.

This cannot be blamed on Elena. After all, she is just a spoiled high school student. It is already an extraordinary performance for her to escape from the big red wooden box by herself.

The Collector must have known by now that she had escaped, and Elena couldn't help but start to panic.

The Collector, like many psychopathic killers, really enjoys slowly torturing the spirits of his prey, so instead of searching for Elena everywhere, he opens a glass bottle and releases his favorite spider to go find Elena.

The big, furry spiders soon spotted Elena and began crawling all over her, some even crawling into the ravines.

Well, because she was attending Needy's birthday party, Elena wore simpler clothes with less fabric on her chest.

Although girls all like fluffy little things, they definitely don’t like this kind of fluffy spider with eight legs.

Just when Elena felt she was about to collapse, a loud alarm suddenly came from outside. Someone had triggered the Collector's mechanism.

The collector didn't think much about it and immediately left the room to check, and did not forget to lock the door when he left.

Elena, who escaped the disaster, quickly brushed off the spider on her body, then let out a long breath. She almost screamed just now.

After observing the room, I found that the main door was locked by the Collector, so there was no way out.

However, Elena noticed that there was a vent in the room, so she used a surgical tool as a screwdriver to open the vent and crawled in.

This ventilation duct is quite narrow, and an average adult man probably can't get in. Fortunately, Elena usually pays attention to her figure, so she can barely pass through the ventilation duct.

Even so, some parts of Elena's body were rubbed very painfully, so she immediately got out when she found an exit.

There was also a large wooden box here, and Elena noticed some movement inside the box.

Is there someone imprisoned inside?

I have to say that Elena really likes opening boxes. She wants to open a box whenever she sees one, and this time is no exception.

A blonde girl about the same age as Elena emerged from the wooden box. She had funny makeup on her face and some scars on her body, but they were not serious.

"Were you also captured by the Collectors?"

The blonde girl nodded timidly, wiping her makeup off her face as she cried.

"Mr. Collector locked me in a wooden box and put makeup on me."

"Then do you know how to get out of here?"

The blonde girl shook her head in horror.

"We can't run around, Mr. Collector will be mad!"

Elena felt that the blonde girl's tone was strange and suspected that she might have been tortured by the Collector, causing some mental confusion.

A trace of sympathy arose in my heart, so I prepared to take the other person away with me.

"It's okay, the Collectors won't find us."

Elena took the blonde girl to look for a way out inside the hotel. The place was transformed like a maze, and the two wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a way out.

Fortunately, the blonde girl seemed to be more familiar with the Collector's trap style and helped Elena point out some traps, so that Elena could be safe.

However, during this process, Elena's hearing aid malfunctioned, causing the blonde girl to discover that she was hearing impaired.

This discovery made the blonde girl excited.

"So there's something wrong with your hearing? How could you possibly avoid being discovered by the Collectors?"

Elena hurried to explain.

"After wearing hearing aids, I am the same as normal people! You don't have to worry about it!"

But the blonde girl obviously didn't believe Elena's words. She slapped Elena and started yelling something Elena couldn't understand.

"This must be a test from Mr. Collector. He must love me. You can't escape!"

The blonde girl's cry finally attracted the collector wearing a leather mask. She rushed to the collector and wagged her tail like a pet seeing its owner.

"It's her, she brought me here!"

Elena finally realized that the blonde girl had a mental problem and was probably suffering from Stockholm syndrome. She had developed feelings for the perpetrator, so she turned around and ran away in a hurry.

The Collector pushed the blonde girl away indifferently and followed slowly.

Elena ran wildly in the corridor. Fortunately, she was familiar with this route. After avoiding various traps, she climbed up the high pipe when passing the corner.

The collector passed under the pipe, searching doubtfully for any trace of his prey.

Perhaps because she was too nervous, Elena accidentally made some noises, which were heard by the Collector.

Just when Elena was in despair, she suddenly heard a whistle not far away.

"Hey, you're the Collector, right?"
