american horror story

The Collector frowned slightly, still wanting to reach for the automatic pistol beside him.

But Roy quickly pulled the trigger, accurately shooting the automatic pistol out of his hand and giving a warning.

"Don't move. If you dare to move again, I'll take you down!"

This level of marksmanship made the Collector dare not act rashly again, and he raised his hands in surrender.

"Roy Black, I thought you were just a small task assigned to me by the higher-ups. I didn't expect you to be so troublesome."

The Collector suddenly spoke, surprising Roy.

"Oh ho, so you can talk! I thought you were mute! You really were sent by the Dark Web to deal with me. Why don't you honestly confess everything? That way, you might even be able to save your skin!"

Of course, this was just a bluff to the Collector. Although the fate treasure chests of ordinary people might not yield anything good for Roy, he adhered to the principle that even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and he wouldn't voluntarily give up any treasure chest.

The Collector smiled, not caring about Roy's threat at all, as if he had some backup.

"You like to laugh, huh?"

Roy quickly walked towards the Collector, ready to teach him a lesson.

Just at this moment, the entire hotel shook. This was the explosion of a bomb that the Collector had planted in advance.

The sudden tremor distracted Roy, and the prepared Collector seized the opportunity to lunge at him.

Hmm, the Collector probably thought that since Roy's marksmanship was so good, his close-quarters combat skills might be weaker.

And then...

Roy agilely dodged the Collector's charge, then using both hands, landed a series of punches on the Collector's face.

Instantly, the Collector's eyes became incredibly clear. He seemed to have returned to his childhood, to the feeling of being violently beaten by his father.

"Trying to trick me? Scumbag, look me in the eyes! Tell me, where is the Dark Web's hideout!"

The hotel had already begun to gradually collapse in the explosion, but Roy was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he prepared to interrogate the Collector first.

The power of the Shadow of Fear was released, and the Collector immediately began to tremble all over, as if he had seen some terrifying illusion.

However, the Collector's willpower was also quite strong, and he gritted his teeth, refusing to say anything.

So, Roy increased the output of the Shadow of Fear.

"Tell me immediately!"

At this moment, in the Collector's eyes, Roy had become the embodiment of the Grim Reaper, constantly roaring at him.

Finally, the Collector couldn't withstand this mental pressure, and he tremblingly spoke out an address, then his eyes rolled back and foam appeared at his mouth.

\[Ding! Obtained the Collector's fate treasure chest! Open it?]

Was he scared to death?

Roy was a bit speechless. He probably hadn't controlled the output of the Shadow of Fear well enough, which led to the Collector's direct death. He hadn't even confirmed the authenticity of the address yet!

Helplessly, Roy had no choice but to leave the Collector's body behind and depart.

At this time, most of the hotel had already been engulfed in flames. Perhaps the Collector had placed gasoline near the bomb to better destroy evidence.

In the end, Roy chose to smash a window and jump out of the hotel.

Huh? Why is it so lively outside?

Roy, after leaving the hotel, suddenly noticed several armored vehicles parked outside, and a group of heavily armed people guarding the hotel.

Using the light from the hotel fire, Roy saw the letters SWAT on the vests of these people.

SWAT is actually the special police force in America, specializing in urban counter-terrorism and anti-violence missions.

Could it be the rescue Elena mentioned that has arrived? It seems a bit fast. Has it only been a few minutes?

However, what surprised Roy was that Peters, the female team member, and Aiken, including Elena, who had just escaped the hotel, were all being held at gunpoint, kneeling on the ground with their hands on their heads.

This was clearly the attitude of treating criminals. Was it really necessary?

Roy immediately thought of the worst possible scenario he had predicted earlier.

"Sir, there's another person here!"

"Grab him!"

More than a dozen submachine guns were pointed at Roy. Even with his current 36 points of constitution, he could only retreat.

Fortunately, there was a low wall around the outside of the hotel, which became an excellent cover, and finally prevented Roy from being riddled with bullets.

"Surround him! If he resists, shoot him dead!"

The on-site commander gave the order, and now it could be confirmed that the other party was sent by the Dark Web to clean up.

After all, Roy's skin color should protect him from the police emptying their bullets on him, and besides, he wasn't even holding a gun.

Facing the dire situation, Roy was just about to transform into the Son of the Devil and go on a killing spree when...

A somewhat familiar voice came from afar.

"You evildoer, prepare to die!"

"Where did this nun come from! Take her down!"

Nun? Could it be that nun?

Roy cautiously poked his head out and saw the beautiful nun who had appeared in the auditorium, holding two guns and fearlessly confronting the fake SWAT team.

Strange, wasn't this nun tracking the Collector even earlier than him?

Why didn't she appear before, but only now?

Just as he was thinking, the fake SWAT team opened fire on the nun. The firepower of more than a dozen submachine guns was enough to turn a person into a sieve, but the nun suddenly leaped and dodged the concentrated fire.

The fake SWAT members quickly adjusted their aim, but the nun had already stylishly pulled the trigger in mid-air, just like a scene from an action movie.

After a magazine of bullets was emptied, Roy was surprised to find that not a single shot from the fake SWAT hit the nun, and the nun didn't hit any of the fake SWAT members either.

What kind of geriatric marksmanship is this?

It was understandable that the fake SWAT didn't hit the nun, after all, no one expected her to jump so high. But how did the nun manage to miss with thirty bullets from two automatic pistols, all at stationary targets?

Everyone's brain on the scene crashed at this moment.

The nun expressionlessly threw away the two guns.

"Hmph, there must be something wrong with these two pistols!"

The fake SWAT commander was a bit annoyed.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and take down this nun!"

The other fake SWAT members finally belatedly took out their pistols, ready to deal with the nun.

The nun pulled off her belt, and it turned out to be a long whip.

Snap!

The sound of the whip cracking through the air rang out, and several fake SWAT members closest to her were immediately whipped to the ground. However, the fake SWAT members from other directions had already aimed at the nun.

Bang—

Unfortunately, these fake SWAT members didn't have time to pull the trigger before Roy took them down with his Smith & Wesson M625.

The nun followed the sound of the gunshot and looked at Roy by the low wall, giving a slight nod.

Caught in a crossfire, the fake SWAT members were immediately thrown into brief chaos, and Peters and Aiken, who had been captured by them earlier, also seized the opportunity to fight back.

The situation reversed in an instant!

Seeing that the situation was bad, the fake SWAT commander turned and ran towards the armored vehicle, preparing to escape.

But the nun's long whip wrapped around the guy's neck, pulling him back for execution.

"Madam, wait! This guy is the commander, maybe we can get some information out of him!"

The nun, stopped by Roy, frowned slightly but still released her grip.

"Do you want to investigate the person behind this evildoer?"

"Yes, Madam. May I ask your name?"

"Mi... Isabella."

The sound of sirens came from afar. This was the real way the police responded to a call.

Unlike those armored vehicles just now, Roy had no idea when they had appeared.

Hearing the sirens, Isabella frowned and looked at Roy.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Roy, Roy Black."

"You're a good kid. If you find out who's behind these guys, remember to call me."

Isabella tossed Roy a business card and then turned and left.

This person really had the same way of speaking as Elizabeth, leaving Roy speechless.

But seeing Isabella's receding figure, Roy suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could this person have walked all the way here?

Just as he was thinking, the sound of sirens arrived at the scene. Fully armed police surrounded the group. This time, it was finally the real FBI and SWAT.

A mature woman in a ladies' suit came to Roy.

"Roy Black?"

"That's me."

Roy looked at the brown-haired woman in front of him. She had thick lips that were very familiar to him.

Isn't that Angelina Jolie?

Seeing another familiar face made Roy slightly stunned.

"Tell me the details of what happened. Why did it become like this? Are you hurt?"

Elena thought Roy was injured and reached out to check his physical condition.

\[Discovered special character Elena Scott. You can absorb the power of fate to obtain rewards!]

"I'm fine, just a bit mentally exhausted."

Elena didn't suspect anything else.

"In that case, let's talk in the car."

In the car, Roy told Elena about the entire Nightstalker incident, omitting the supernatural aspects.

Elena had an earpiece in her ear and was listening to her subordinates' reports.

Meanwhile, Peters, Aiken, and the others were in other cars, also being questioned by the FBI.

"Hmm, it's similar to what the others said, but are you sure the Collector is dead?"

"I'm sure!"

Elena nodded.

"Mr. Black, because this case has many suspicious points, I need to temporarily detain you. This isn't because we consider you a suspect, but for protection and confidentiality purposes. You shouldn't mind, right?"

"Can I let my family know I'm safe?"

"Of course."

Roy drank coffee for almost 12 hours at the FBI headquarters in Austin before being released.

Just as Roy had previously guessed, Peters' team was indeed from the local SWAT unit.

With their own people coming forward to testify, plus Elena's grandfather Simon pulling some strings, Roy was able to be released so quickly.

Aiken was more unlucky. Because he was a habitual thief, the FBI found his criminal record after arresting him, and he might have to spend a few years in prison before getting out.

However, Simon didn't break his promise and would still give Aiken the agreed-upon money.

Back in Waterfall Town, Roy immediately met with Keller Evans.

"I didn't expect the Collector to really be connected to the Dark Web. Damn it! Almost a whole day has passed, and we haven't seen half a day's worth of news! I suspect there might be a government scandal involved, so the FBI is suppressing the news! Otherwise, given the FBI's style, they would have already publicized it to the whole world!

Mr. Black, what are you planning to do next?"

"I'm planning to go to the address the Collector mentioned myself."

Keller thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Mr. Black, you're already on the Dark Web's list. Appearing there rashly could easily alert them. Why don't you let me investigate secretly first?"

Roy thought Keller's words made sense. His appearance was indeed a bit too conspicuous, and he was also a student, making it inconvenient to take long periods of leave.

"Okay, if there's any danger, call me immediately, and I'll come to save you."

"I will."

Keller left with Molly. Molly seemed to have decided to stay with Keller and was now his assistant.

After seeing Keller off, only Jennifer and Needy remained at home. The two girls stared straight at Roy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Then, as if they had discussed it beforehand, Jennifer and Needy simultaneously pounced on Roy and hugged him.

"Roy, I didn't expect this incident to be so dangerous!"

"Yeah, I was really worried about you!"

The two girls took turns expressing their concern for Roy, talking as if he were already dead.

"What's there to worry about? Aren't I perfectly fine?"

Jennifer bit her lip tightly, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Roy, do you think I should..."

Roy guessed what Jennifer wanted to do and directly stopped her mouth with a kiss.

After a fierce battle of lips and tongues, Roy released the panting Jennifer.

"Things haven't reached their worst yet, and besides, there's a troublesome person in Texas right now that we need to get rid of."

Needy looked at Jennifer and Roy's passionate kiss with an envious expression, seemingly wanting to try it herself.

"Are you guys hiding something else from me?"

Roy looked at Jennifer, somewhat surprised that she hadn't told Needy about Lilith. He had originally intended to let her tell Needy herself.

"I... I haven't decided yet."

Jennifer still seemed to be struggling with her own feelings, so Roy patted her back.

"It's okay, Jennifer! I think no matter what happens, Needy won't abandon your friendship!"

Needy smiled and nodded.

"Roy is right, no matter what happens, we'll always be best friends!"

Jennifer felt a bit touched, and then she heard Roy's next words.

"So, can best friends sleep together tonight?"

Jennifer and Needy simultaneously punched Roy.

"Pui, you wish!"

The two girls broke free from Roy's embrace and ran out laughing.

Roy scratched his head, thinking it would be another lonely night, and was just wondering if he should go to the Sawyer Manor when Needy suddenly pushed Jennifer back into the room.

"Jennifer, you should stay here tonight. I'll talk to Mom and Dad!"

Saying this, Needy closed the door.

Jennifer hadn't expected to be betrayed by her best friend and looked back at Roy somewhat shyly.

Things had actually developed this way. Needy was truly a good girl!

Roy rubbed his hands together.

"Jennifer, we can't waste Needy's kindness, right?"

"You go take a shower first, you stink!"

Because he had been in a fight and then detained by the FBI for half a day, Roy did indeed smell a bit.

"Then let's shower together!"

Roy suddenly rushed towards Jennifer, picked her up, and headed for the bathroom.

Like the first blood in a battle, Roy first used his "flesh brush" to thoroughly clean Jennifer's body from the inside out.

Only then did he carry Jennifer to the second battlefield to continue the fight.

At this moment, Roy noticed that Jennifer's body seemed to have undergone some changes.

Furthermore, Roy also noticed the pink pattern that appeared on Jennifer's lower abdomen when she was excited.
