The next day, Roy still drove his secondhand yellow Chevrolet Camaro to pick up Jennifer, even though the one currently controlling Jennifer's body was a woman named Lilith.
"I thought you weren't coming today," Lilith said, still sucking on a lollipop. This woman seemed to really like lollipops; he wasn't sure if it was the taste or the shape she preferred.
Roy noticed that Lilith was wearing makeup today, looking very glamorous, and her clothes were particularly revealing.
"Hmph, when are you going to give Jennifer her body back?" Roy didn't give Lilith a friendly look, but she didn't care at all. She took off her shoes again and rested her long legs on him.
"I'll give Jennifer her body back when I'm done playing. Don't you like me?" Lilith wiggled her red-nailed toes on Roy's gear shift, almost causing him to crash into another car.
"Damn it, stop messing around! That's dangerous!" Roy quickly moved Lilith's feet away and adjusted the gear shift.
"Hehe, you clearly like it!" Compared to the rather cold Jennifer, Lilith was indeed much more enthusiastic and outgoing. This contrast between cold and hot was like an ice-fire dragon...
Cough cough! It must have been the gear shift that gave Roy strange thoughts.
Just then, someone knocked on Roy's car window.
"Hey, Roy, getting some morning exercise in the car?" Roy turned his head and saw it was his old friend, Sheriff Hughes.
After the Christmas break, Hughes had basically recovered and had started doing some patrol work again.
Right now, Sheriff Hughes just happened to be passing by and saw Roy's car stopped in the middle of the road, so he came over to check. Then he saw Roy and Lilith in a somewhat suggestive position inside the car.
"No, I just got a little distracted and had to brake suddenly," Roy explained. Sheriff Hughes naturally didn't believe him. He glanced at Roy and Lilith and gave them a knowing smile.
"Young love, huh? But you two should be careful." Sheriff Hughes winked, seemingly implying something.
This made Roy feel very awkward, so he quickly changed the subject. "Sheriff Hughes, has anything been happening lately? Why are the police suddenly patrolling and setting up checkpoints at the edge of town?"
"Oh, recently there have been disappearances in several surrounding towns. We suspect a professional human trafficking organization has entered Texas, so we're checking strangers at the town entrances."
So something like that was happening? Life in America was indeed a hot mess!
"Roy, if you see any strangers acting suspiciously, be sure to notify me."
"I will."
Roy restarted the car and continued driving towards Oak High. A pest control company truck drove past them in the opposite direction.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Roy saw Sheriff Hughes stop the pest control truck for inspection.
Ten minutes later, the Chevrolet Camaro arrived at Oak High, and Roy parked the car.
"We're here! Lilith, you're controlling Jennifer's body right now, so you better not cause any trouble!" Roy had a feeling that Lilith definitely wouldn't behave herself, so he gave her a warning.
Lilith poked Roy's chest with her foot and replied with the lollipop in her mouth, "Can you tell me what you consider 'causing trouble'?"
After saying that, without waiting for Roy's answer, Lilith put on her shoes and sashayed out of the car.
It was the peak time for students arriving at school, and there were many students at the school gate. Then, these students saw the former head cheerleader walking towards the school with the gait of a Victoria's Secret angel.
Her glamorous makeup, confident smile, and near-perfect figure instantly stunned some of the naive high school boys who hadn't seen much of the world.
Not just the high school boys, Roy even saw some high school girls looking dumbfounded.
At this moment, Lilith's demeanor and movements were truly captivating to both genders, a charm that transcended sexuality.
Then, Lilith blew a kiss at a lower-grade boy. The boy immediately had a nosebleed and fainted in blissful happiness.
It had begun, as expected!
Roy was speechless. He was about to go and stop Lilith when he was called out by someone unexpected.
"Mr. Blake, I have something I need to discuss with you."
The person who called out to Roy was the principal of Oak High, and his expression was very serious.
"What is it, Mr. Thomas?" Roy thought the principal had found out about him skipping class yesterday, but even if he had, the principal shouldn't need to get involved, right?
"Come with me to the office."
Going to the office to talk meant it must be something very important.
Roy glanced at Lilith, who was spreading her charm everywhere, and reluctantly followed the principal to the office.
Principal Thomas asked Roy to sit down and then let out a deep sigh. "Mr. Blake, I originally thought you would be one of Oak High's most outstanding alumni, but I never expected you to do something like this!"
Roy scratched his head, trying to recall what he had done at school to make Thomas so angry.
Thinking about what a certain blonde girl had done the night before last, could it be Carly causing trouble again?
"Principal Thomas, did Carly say something?"
Hearing this, Thomas frowned, his expression becoming even more unpleasant. "What, something happened to Carly too?"
Huh? It wasn't related to Carly?
"Wait a minute, something must be wrong! Principal Thomas, please explain to me exactly what happened!"
Thomas originally wanted to slam his hand on the desk to show his principal's authority, but seeing Roy's strong build, his raised hand gently fell back down.
"Yesterday afternoon, Ms. Hale suddenly came to me, saying she's pregnant with your child and needs to take leave to go to California for an abortion!"
Roy: ???
At that moment, Roy thought he had misheard, or that Thomas hadn't phrased it correctly.
"What did you say? Elizabeth is pregnant with my child? That's absolutely impossible!"
"Mr. Blake, do you have an inappropriate relationship with Ms. Hale?"
Roy opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute that. The problem was that Elizabeth was a Hell Lord; how could she get pregnant so easily?
And could hospitals in California even perform abortions on demons? That was too outrageous!
Unfortunately, he couldn't say these self-defending words to Thomas, so he could only be honest. "Okay, we did have a relationship."
Thomas looked at Roy with an envious gaze. Clearly, he also had some intentions towards the beautiful Elizabeth, but unfortunately, his student Roy had beaten him to it.
"And I'm guessing you didn't use any protection!"
Indeed, both times Roy had gone against the teacher were without protection, which left him even more speechless.
Thomas took a deep breath. "Mr. Blake, your current image is very important to Oak High. I will suppress this matter, and I hope you will be more careful in the future!"
Roy finally walked out of the principal's office with a dark face.
Because Roy was currently Oak High's star student, which was related to enrollment in the second half of the year, Thomas was willing to help him suppress this scandal.
However, Roy still had to pay some price, such as participating in some school promotional activities and actively promoting the school during interviews.
After coming out, the more Roy thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt like he had been set up by Elizabeth.
So, taking advantage of the time before class started, he immediately found a place to call Elizabeth.
This time, the call went through.
"Hello, is this Teacher Elizabeth?" Elizabeth's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is that little Roy? What do you need?" Hearing this, Roy felt a surge of anger.
"Don't you know what's going on? For fuck's sake, if you need to take leave, just take leave. Why did you have to say you're pregnant with my child and going for an abortion?"
"But yesterday morning, you did inject a lot of positive energy into my body!" This statement wasn't wrong, causing Roy's momentum to falter.
"But you couldn't have gotten pregnant so quickly, let alone need an abortion!"
Elizabeth heard that Roy was genuinely angry, so she stopped teasing him.
"Hehe! Who told you to make such a big commotion yesterday? I told you, things have been a bit tense lately, so it's best to keep a low profile. I'm guessing that troublesome people will be coming to Waterfall Town in a few days, so I need to go out and avoid the spotlight."
So that was the case. From this perspective, it was indeed Roy who had brought the trouble.
But Roy had no choice. To fight Pennywise, he had to release the full power of the Son of the Devil, otherwise he would have been the one to die.
"Then you still shouldn't have used that as an excuse to take leave! Do you know what the principal said to me today?"
"Well, I just got lazy to think of other reasons after I came up with that one. Okay, little Roy, I'm driving. We can talk more when I get back."
"Wait, hello!"
Elizabeth hung up the phone directly. When Roy called back, it showed that her phone was turned off.
"Fuck!" Roy cursed under his breath and walked towards the classroom.
Inside the classroom, Lilith had her legs propped up on the desk, generously displaying her slender, beautiful legs. The boys in the class were staring with wide eyes.
Seeing this made Roy's face darken even more.
"Cough cough!" Roy coughed and walked into the classroom. The boys in his class immediately felt a chill run down their spines, and they quickly looked down, minding their own business.
For some reason, Roy's classmates felt a bit scared when they saw him.
Especially Carly, the one who had caused trouble for Roy before. She had been somewhat relieved that Lilith hadn't bothered her.
But now, seeing Roy walk into the classroom, Carly was so scared she almost peed her pants.
Roy returned to his seat with a dark face and slapped Lilith's fair thigh. "You better behave yourself!"
"Ah~" Lilith let out a very seductive moan, it was hard to tell if it was intentional or deliberate.
The students in the front row shivered when they heard the sound, but no one dared to turn around. Only Nancy looked back at Roy with surprise, wondering what he was doing.
Lilith's cheeks were slightly flushed, her teeth gently biting her red lips, and her eyes seemed to be able to drip water, looking very pleased.
Hmm, could this woman be a masochist? It was quite possible!
Roy recalled Lilith's previous behavior. It seemed she was deliberately provoking him. Was it just to stimulate him to hit her?
Just as he was thinking this, Roy saw Lilith looking at him with a moist gaze, as if encouraging him to continue.
"Fuck! This is school, don't you dare cause any trouble!" Roy didn't let Lilith get her way. He felt that if he laid a hand on her, it would only make her enjoy it.
"How boring!" Lilith withdrew her legs somewhat disappointedly and sat up straight.
Just then, the bell rang, and the first class of the morning officially began.
Roy felt that today was particularly long because he had to pay attention to Lilith's antics every moment, lest she cause any trouble.
Therefore, Roy didn't even feel like practicing his boxing after school. He just wanted to take Lilith home quickly.
However, there was still one thing to do before going home.
"Thompson, are you free on the evening of January 12th?" Roy's invitation seemed to cause some misunderstanding for Nancy. She secretly glanced at Lilith in the distance, who was licking a lollipop and exuding pheromones, and then replied with a flushed face, "Yes, I'm free!"
Seeing that Nancy seemed to have misunderstood, Roy quickly explained, "It's like this, Thompson. January 12th is Niddy's birthday, and I've prepared a birthday surprise for her. Would you like to come?"
Niddy actually wasn't very popular at school, but since Roy had asked, no one dared to refuse him.
Hearing this, Nancy was visibly disappointed, but she still nodded. "I'll go. By the way, why hasn't Lesnicki been to school these past two days?"
"She's been sick recently, but I think she should recover by the 12th."
"I see. Blake, thank you for inviting me." Nancy was quite polite and even bowed to Roy.
It was hard not to feel some goodwill towards such a polite, pure, and lovely girl.
At this moment, Roy remembered Elizabeth mentioning that there was a demonic aura on Nancy.
Could such a pure and lovely girl really have a connection with demons?
Roy was a bit suspicious. Since he had run into Nancy today, he might as well inquire about her situation.
After all, Roy had previously promised Elizabeth to deal with the problem concerning Nancy.
"Nancy, can I call you that?"
"Yes, and can I call you Roy?" Nancy seemed a bit shy, because in Western culture, calling someone by their first name was a sign of closeness, while strangers with a casual relationship would address each other by their last names.
"Of course! Nancy, I'm a little curious, why did you transfer schools in the last half year before your senior year graduation?"
Hearing this, Nancy's expression became painful, as if she didn't want to talk about it.
"I'm sorry, did I mention something that made you sad?"
"I really don't want to bring up those things again, Roy." Seeing that Nancy didn't want to mention the past, Roy had no choice but to temporarily give up probing.
"Then forget it. Don't forget January 12th. I'll go first, goodbye!"
Roy said goodbye to Nancy and then went to Lilith.
"Are you trying to hit on her?"
"What's it to you?"
"I'm just asking for Jennifer, it's nothing. But that little girl is a bit troublesome, you better be careful." Roy's heart skipped a beat. Lilith's perception seemed particularly strong, perhaps she could discover something.
However, how to get Lilith to help was also a problem.
Nancy (I feel like she's a bit like Joey Wong)
