american horror story

Could it be Lilith's doing?

Roy suddenly remembered the suspicious woman who had previously controlled Jennifer. If he had to find a culprit for what had suddenly appeared, it could only be her!

It was clearly just the second round, and Jennifer's demeanor had changed drastically.

"Are you Lilith?"

"It's me!"

Roy was furious. This guy ran away when there was trouble before, and now he's showing up again when things are good. He's absolutely shameless!

This brazen woman needs to be punished properly.

"Serves you right! You immediately release Jennifer!"

"Little Roy, you're quite capable, aren't you? You even managed to deceive Michael and gain his trust."

So, the one inside the nun's body is really Michael?

Archangel Michael, the embodiment of justice, who judges the fate of humans after death.

No wonder Isabella could see the sins on people at a glance. So that's why.

However, Lilith's words made Roy a little displeased.

"What do you mean 'little'? Why are you saying that with your hand on your heart?"

Compared to other girls, Jennifer's 'conscience' was indeed smaller.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes, little Roy, you're the best!"

[Ding! Acquired Lilith's Conquest Treasure Chest! Open it?]

After several hours of arduous and extraordinary battle, the two simultaneously entered the post-coital phase.

Roy lowered his guard against Lilith slightly.

"Lilith, who exactly are you?"

At this moment, Lilith was tracing patterns on Roy's body with her fingers, as if drawing something.

However, Roy, still in the post-coital phase, didn't notice this. He just thought she was drawing circles, a habit many women have.

"Hehe, telling you isn't a problem! Actually, I'm the first witch in human history. In a way, you could say I'm your ancestor."

Hearing this, Roy instantly thought of a myth. After his memory attribute increased, his memory had improved a lot.

"Are you Adam's wife?"

In Jewish mythology, God created the first human, Adam.

Then, He fashioned a woman from Adam's rib to be his wife, and her name was Lilith.

Dissatisfied with Adam, Lilith invoked God's true name and left the Garden of Eden, joining with demons to become the first witch in mythology.

In the earlier Sumerian mythology, Lilith was a similar figure, the embodiment of desire and corruption.

Some stories even depict Lilith as a succubus and incubus who drains men's life force.

Hmm, that does fit the facts. Roy had just been drained quite a bit.

This explains the extra thing that appeared on Jennifer's lower abdomen.

"Why did you possess Jennifer?"

"I didn't possess your little girlfriend. I've always been inside her body."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a long story. If you're willing to listen, I can tell you."

Lilith began to tell her story, which was roughly about an ancient witch who was betrayed and killed by her own daughter, and then used some kind of secret art to preserve her soul within one of her bloodlines.

So, the Miles family's special bloodline... is that what it means?

Roy immediately thought of another possibility.

"You wouldn't be planning to revive yourself through Jennifer's body, would you?"

"Hehe, are you scared?"

Roy grabbed Lilith's neck, but there was no pain on her face at all. Instead, she looked like she was enjoying it.

"Ah! What a heartless man! Treating someone like this right after we just finished!"

"Tell me your plan! Don't test my patience!"

Roy was considering whether to use the Shadow of Fear ability to interrogate Lilith, but she suddenly gave in.

"Alright, alright! I have many ways to revive myself. I don't necessarily have to take over Jennifer's body. But I need your help with something. Could you help me?"

Lilith looked at Roy pitifully and even lightly licked the back of his hand that was holding her neck with her tongue, like a little kitten.

"Tell me what it is."

"I want revenge! The one who betrayed me is still alive. As long as you help me get my revenge, I'll leave Jennifer's body. Of course, if you don't mind, I can continue to stay by your side and become your woman."

It sounded like a good deal, but Roy felt there was something off about Lilith. What she just said might not be true.

Compared to Elizabeth, Lilith's purposefulness was clearly stronger.

Although both were using him, Roy could sense that Elizabeth genuinely wanted to enjoy life in the human world and didn't want to bother with anything else.

But Lilith seemed to be hiding something, and Roy felt he needed to consider this carefully.

"I'll think about it."

Roy released her hand, and Lilith leaned into his arms with a smile on her face.

"Take your time thinking about it. I've prepared a little gift for you, so I won't bother you anymore."

A gift? What gift?

Roy looked down and saw Jennifer's clear eyes.

"Jennifer?"

"Mmm."

Jennifer blushed slightly.

If she's blushing, then it's definitely Jennifer.

"Jennifer, did you actually feel anything just now?"

"I did. It was like having a lucid dream. I experienced it from a third-person perspective."

"In that case, why don't you experience it again from a first-person perspective?"

After overtime, Jennifer beside him couldn't take the impact and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

So, Roy stroked the little kitty and began the standard opening process.

System, open the Collector's Fate Treasure Chest!

[Opening the Collector's Fate Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 2 Memory Attribute Points!]

[Gained the special ability Trap Master!]

It actually yielded 2 Memory Attribute Points and a special ability.

Well, the Collector's attributes in all aspects really can't compare to Roy's, but his memory is quite remarkable.

After all, being able to clearly remember all the traps one has set and how to activate them is not something an ordinary person can do.

It's not an exaggeration to say he has photographic memory.

[Trap Master: You have a thorough understanding of traps, are proficient in setting and disarming all types of traps, and can use mental energy to remotely sense or activate them.]

Hiss, this ability seems a bit powerful!

Does this mean that if I set a simple little trap at home, I can sense if someone triggers it even when I'm at school?

Roy prepared to test this ability. He used the tools at home to set up a simple mousetrap in the kitchen, then returned to his bedroom to wait for Jerry to step into it.

After a while, Roy indeed sensed that the trap he had set in the kitchen had been triggered by something.

Jerry: Why is it always me who gets hurt?

It seems this ability has some strategic significance. If used properly, it could be very effective.

System, open Lilith's Conquest Treasure Chest!

[Opening Lilith's Fate Treasure Chest...]

[Gained 5 Memory Attribute Points!]

[Gained 5 Spirit Attribute Points!]

[Gained the special ability Shadow of Desire!]

Another special ability?

Roy felt like he was having a very lucky day. Maybe Jennifer's little kitty had something to do with it.

Needless to say about the 5 Memory and 5 Spirit points. This also made all of Roy's mental attributes break through the twenty mark, so he could use more of the magic recorded in the Key of Solomon in the future.

However, Roy didn't really like playing with magic. He preferred close-quarters combat and the feeling of sawing enemies in half with a chainsaw sword.

[Shadow of Desire: You are the embodiment of lust and original sin, the desire of all intelligent beings!

Passive ability: Greatly increases charm, passively collects the aura of lust.

Active ability: Can consume stored aura of lust to use some special abilities.]

The description of the Shadow of Desire's ability made Roy's expression a little strange.

Judging from the description, this ability is probably a special ability similar to the Shadow of Fear, and it also relies on collecting emotions to activate its effects.

After obtaining the Shadow of Desire, a pink energy bar immediately appeared on Roy's panel, forming a stark contrast with the other two purple fear energy bars.

At this moment, the pink energy bar was slowly increasing, and the source of the energy was naturally Jennifer beside Roy's pillow.

So, does this ability require me to pick up more girls?

This ability is really too bad! It's corrupting a pure and good young man like me!

With this thought, Roy held Jennifer and fell into a deep sleep.

It felt like he hadn't slept for very long when Roy was woken up by a noise from downstairs.

Looking out the window, it wasn't even dawn yet.

What's going on?

Did a thief break in?

Jennifer was also awakened by the noise.

"Roy, what's that sound?"

"It might be a thief. I'll go downstairs and take a look."

A thief actually dared to break into his house. They must have a death wish!

Roy put on his pants, and shirtless, he quietly went downstairs, where he saw someone who surprised him.

"Dad? Mom? You're back?"

That's right, it was Roy's parents, who had gone on vacation for the Christmas holidays and then forgotten to come home, only remembering to return today, January 15th.

It was truly speechless.

"Sorry, Roy, did we wake you up? Philip accidentally tripped over himself and fell at the door."

"Sarah, it's not my fault! The floor tiles by the door are too slippery!"

And what was even more speechless was that the couple was accompanied by a cute little loli who looked only seven or eight years old.

Huh, did they have another kid?

Wait, something doesn't seem right.

"Who is this little girl? Is she your illegitimate daughter?"

Philip was a little angry.

"What are you talking about? How could my and your mother's child be illegitimate!"

"Philip, that's not the point! Roy, you've misunderstood. This child is your uncle's daughter. Your uncle has had a little trouble and can only leave the child with us for a few days."

"Yeah! Having one child like you is already tough enough for the two of us. Why would we want another one?"

Feeling his father's undisguised dislike, Roy pursed his lips.

Sure enough, the original owner's birth was completely an accident!

No wonder the original owner was an only child. After all, middle-class American families in this day and age usually have two to three children.

If Jennifer's family hadn't had that accident, she would have had an older brother and an older sister.

And Nedy originally had a younger brother too.

It wouldn't be until twenty years later that middle-class white Americans would start not getting married or having children.

"What's her name?"

"Emma. Emma, this is your cousin. You can call him Roy."

"Hello, Brother Roy!"

The little loli gave Roy a sweet smile. The smile was so perfect, like a masterpiece sculpted halfway to perfection.

"Hello, Emma."

Roy also smiled at the little loli.

At this moment, Jennifer came downstairs wearing Roy's shirt.

"Roy, what exactly happened?"

Jennifer was stunned when she saw a large group of people in the house.

Jennifer naturally knew Roy's parents, and Philip and Sarah also had some impression of Jennifer.

The scene was very awkward for a moment.

"Ahem! Roy, you'd better explain."

Philip glared at Roy, which made him a little confused.

"Explain what? Did you expect me to bring back a boy?"

Sarah couldn't help but pat Philip's shoulder.

"Roy's right. He's at that age, so it's natural to have some needs. But you still need to take precautions, okay?"

Jennifer took Roy's arm and nodded, feeling a little shy and happy at the same time.

Sarah's words were equivalent to acknowledging Jennifer's and Roy's relationship, which naturally made her feel a little happy.

However, on the other side, the little loli Emma's expression became not so pleasant, as if a toy she had just taken a liking to had been snatched away by someone else.

But the adults present didn't notice Emma's little mood.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and rest."

Roy glanced at the time. It was already five in the morning, and they wouldn't be able to sleep for much longer.

"Jennifer, if you still want to rest, go back to sleep for a bit. I won't sleep anymore. Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hmm."

"Roy, go help Emma with her luggage! Little Emma sure has a lot of belongings!"

"Leave it to me!"
