Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 222 The Phantom Witch's Evil Spirit Breaks Through!

Louis sensed a powerful soul force opposing him.

This soul power was not only as refined as his Yin spirit power, but it also carried a special power fluctuation that seemed to be influencing his thoughts.

It's just like Carrie's, but Carrie's telekinesis is simple and brutal, while the telekinesis in front of me is more like an illusion.

But the strength is the same.

In other words, the illusion created by the opponent sacrificing their mental power to manipulate reality must be very strong.

No wonder there were armed men lying all over the ground in front of us.

and many more!

Louis noticed the "W" markings on the cuffs and collars of the armed men.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and the thought of whether or not to make a move vanished immediately. He had to make a move! He had to make a decisive one!
He hadn't forgotten how Company W had mobilized its forces to attack his company!

Louis first asked the driver to move the car to the side, then walked over. His Yin energy swirled around him, round like a chicken egg, blocking out the psychic power that constantly exerted its influence.

Arriving at the entrance of the underground morgue, I glanced at the armed man lying on the door, whose insignia was rather distinctive.

Before he could even make a move...

The armed man's eyelids twitched, as if he was trying to struggle free, but the next second, his mental power suddenly intensified.

He calmed down again.

"Hehe, Company W has some merit; they do have some talented people."

He suppressed his murderous thoughts and casually tossed the object aside.

I stepped into the underground morgue.

……

Inside the morgue.

The woman's body lay motionless on the stretcher, while Tommy and his son lay on the ground beside her, their eyes closed and their hands flailing about, seemingly in a state of panic.

As for the broken lights, the open morgue cabinet, the rumbling thunder...

None at all!
The children grew increasingly panicked, shielding their father with their bodies in an attempt to protect him, only to be pushed aside by their father. They then fought to protect each other as Tommy and his father tried to escape.

It seems that what's happening to them in this illusion isn't going to be pleasant.

However, what's even less pleasant is the female corpse.

The contact between mental power and Yin spirit power is mutual; Louis sensed the other, and the other naturally sensed Louis in return.

The powerful sense of threat emanating from Louis, along with the inability to forcibly pull her into the illusion, made the female corpse realize the danger and want to end the ritual as soon as possible.

But at this point, these two, father and son, actually started playing some kind of push-and-pull game!
What a waste of time!
As Louis rapidly approached, the female corpse was forced to mobilize a large amount of power to stop him.

In the corridor.

With his magic activated, the faint image of wasps appeared on his Myriad Illusions Robe. Louis's steps became unsteady, and he began to fly low along the ground.

Swift and graceful.

hum! ! !
The silent mental power suddenly increased, as if it were submerged in seawater, omnipresent, exerting pressure on Louis, this "chicken egg".

For a while.

Various illusions began to appear.

A sinister, grotesque zombie with whitish eyes walks through the corridor; a spider-man with black hair covering his face climbs upside down on the wall; a giant, covered in rotting flesh that keeps falling off and turning into tiny figures as he charges forward…

Most importantly, the illusion created by the other party is extremely realistic. It can even make these monsters appear as if they are real, thanks to the interference of telekinesis with reality!

In other words—the attacks of these monsters are all effective!

The terrifying sound effects, the slippery feel, the chilly air... it was all real!
Under this level of illusion, it's perfectly normal for those special armed forces to fall. Not to mention them, even the clergy would fall. However, Louis still wants to say something.

That's it? That's it? That's it?

Louis's lips curled into a sinister smile, and a whoosh rang out!

His magical power increased dramatically, as if he were flooring the accelerator, while his Yin spirit power was also fully concentrated around him, transforming into an impregnable fortress that could block everything, leaving no flaws whatsoever.

Illusion is a power that is both strong and weak.

The strong are terrifyingly strong, while the weak are a joke.

And this largely depends on who the opponent is.

Unfortunately, Louis's resistance is incredibly strong!

Myriad Illusions Robe! Pure Yin Realm Cultivation! Soul-Suppressing Ruler!
Three buffs applied!

You naked talent monster, what makes you think you can fight me?!
"Hello baby! Louis is here!"

Accompanied by the howling wind and the amplifying power of the Yin spirit, Louis's voice spread far and wide.

The invisible and colorless power of the Yin spirit transformed into countless sharp blades and spears, condensing on the chicken egg. Like an armored vehicle, it charged and smashed the terrifying mental force that was pressing in, shattering it all!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Louis smashed the wall.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line; this principle is very simple.

Not only Louis understood, but the female corpse trapped in the body but still alive also understood.

As Louis drew closer, her eyelids began to flutter.

It's a pity she hasn't recovered yet, otherwise she'd probably be running by now.

Snapped!
An invisible thread was deliberately snapped by her.

Tommy and his son, who were being manipulated into the ritual, immediately stopped arguing and leaned weakly against the corner of the wall.

As for the armed personnel who broke into the ceremony midway and were deluded by the illusion, they all accelerated their suicide attempts, and gunfire continued for a time.

Bang bang bang!
Hot blood was spilled on the grass.

Only the captain, who clearly knew he was being hallucinated in the illusion, did not choose to commit suicide, but instead kept running away, trying to escape the pursuit within the illusion.

After doing these things, the female corpse seemed to have been freed from some kind of restraint.

The stretcher bed started moving automatically without any airflow.

The door opens.

The pulleys turned, and the stretcher carrying the female corpse moved outwards.

Yes.

She chose to run away!
As a soul with thoughts and wisdom, capable of manipulating others' plans and performing rituals, she is very clever.

Since things aren't going well, let's take a step back for now!
That brute is almost crashing through the wall; if we don't run now, when will we?

Crunchy——

The pulley spun rapidly.

The stretcher was moving at an astonishing speed at this moment.

They carried the female corpse in another direction, attempting to detour to the underground elevator.

There are stairs and uneven surfaces along the way, so...

ka ka ka-

The stretcher swayed and bounced up and down, moving forward rapidly like a trampoline. The female corpse on it lost the calm and collected demeanor it had displayed when creating the double illusion and manipulating people's hearts.

His trembling on the bed looked somewhat comical, and coupled with his straight, gray eyes, an indescribable feeling arose spontaneously.

click!
The stretcher stopped in front of the elevator.

Da da da!
The elevator button was pressed out of nowhere, and it was pressed more than a dozen times in a row, which shows how anxious they were.

But the elevator doesn't care about any of that; it goes at its own speed. Amidst the stretcher's repeated, anxious impacts, the elevator slowly opened.

The stretcher stopped impacting at that moment.

This action inexplicably gives people a feeling of relief.

Snapped!
Because the stretcher was too big and there wasn't enough space in the elevator, it was flipped over and forced into the elevator vertically. Consequently, the female corpse on it was left sitting upright in the corner of the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed at that moment.

but--

Whoosh! !

The sound of wind breaking through the air came from behind.

In the darkness, the sinister laughter sounded particularly jarring.

Hello baby!

Louis's figure sped towards them.

Click, click, click!
Press the button urgently.

But the elevator doors just kept closing slowly and in a daze!

at last!

Just as Louis arrived, the elevator doors closed.

The female corpse lay against the cold elevator wall, and there was a strange sense of relief that I hadn't felt in a long time.

This is the first time I've felt this way in nearly three hundred years since my death.

But no way.

This time, I was unlucky; I really ran into a tough opponent.

Judging from the strength of that freakish and reckless man's soul, he was much stronger than her. If they were to clash head-on, she really wasn't confident.

It's okay, since we've managed to escape, we can just stay put for a while longer. The population density in this society is high, and police officers often solve cases and bring back bodies.

With this fast mode of travel, she will no longer recover as slowly as she has over the past few centuries.

Once she is fully resurrected and completes the Demon King's ritual.

Let alone one human being, I could wipe out humanity without any problem!!

Ok.

Just wait until I escape.

Huh? Is this elevator so old? And it's even delayed?

ka ka ka-

The elevator started shaking.

It seems like it's about to start rising.

but.

click!
The elevator door was torn open with a huge gash.

Louis poked his head in and, on a whim, imitated Johnny from The Shining.

He grinned maliciously at the female corpse, "Little rabbit, Louis's here!"

He immediately changed his expression, as if performing a Sichuan martial arts technique, and returned to his calm and normal self. "Tsk, you're really not very good at being a pervert."

crunch--

With both hands on either side of the elevator door, he forcefully tore the door open.

Meanwhile, the power of the Yin spirit had already damaged the elevator's internal wiring, just like evil spirits often do, destroying the elevator wiring to leave humans with nowhere to escape.

It's just a change in offensive and defensive positions. There's not much difference.

Louis looked at the pale female corpse with her bare chest and smiled. "So, what kind of monster are you?"

"..."

"Stop pretending, your red eyes are practically brimming with tears." Louis stared intently at the soul imprisoned within the corpse.

It looks the same as the corpse, but only roughly the same.

Why is it described this way?
Because her soul retains the image she had at the time of her death!
His entire body was charred black, a mixture of charred, rotten flesh and fresh blood. All his hair was burned off, leaving him bald. His mouth was full of white teeth, which looked like dentures because they were not protected by his lips. Drops of yellowish, murky corpse oil seemed to still be dripping from his body.

It was an evil spirit that had been burned to death by flames!

And this evil spirit was thus firmly locked inside the corpse, unable to move, and could only use its powerful soul force to move outside and affect reality.

At that moment, two bloodshot eyes stared at Louis in terror from within those dark eye sockets.

"Can you see me?"

Louis blinked, stepped into the elevator, and patted off imaginary dust. "Of course, your appearance is quite ugly. Were you burned to death?"

"Forget about that, just tell me how you acquired such power."

Since we can communicate, we should naturally ask her where her power comes from.

Over the years, most of the monsters I've dealt with have been either weak or too brutal and difficult to communicate with. This one is different; it seems to be quite intelligent.

Moreover, she can be said to be the first evil spirit Louis has encountered in all these years whose abilities have broken through the evil spirit level and reached the demon level.

That's really intriguing.

And in response to Louis's question.

The female corpse actually chose to answer.

She began to tell her story.

It was the Salem witch trials of 1693 that were to blame. The brutality of the trials and the powerful forces behind them terrified many witches, causing them to scatter and flee.

During this trial, many witches were captured and brutally burned.

But the victims are actually more ordinary women.

Extortion, false accusation, rape, framing...

The evil in human nature was brought out at that moment.

If you label a woman as a witch, you can legally extort money from her, and even sexually assault her, without facing any punishment!
Even more cruelly, some people slandered them, sent them to the stake, and took their lives directly!
The reason was simply because she was the miller's daughter, and he was jealous that she could eat white bread.

Or perhaps a female companion was jealous of her beauty while she herself was plain-looking and unable to attract attention, leading to a jealous report...

There are simply too many reasons.

develop to the end.

It has completely turned into a nationwide frenzy, and people caught up in the crowd's frenzy have no rationality whatsoever, and things have completely spiraled out of control.

This frenzied fire even spread to upper-class women. The wives and daughters of those upper-class people who secretly promoted this collective movement also suffered the disaster. They were doused with kerosene and burned to the ground!

Therefore, the matter was finally brought to a halt at this point.

As it turns out, many things cannot be stopped until they reach the upper echelons.

Alice, the daughter of a farmer, also suffered an undeserved misfortune because of her natural beauty. She was accused of being a witch and burned alive in the fire.

As for why it turned out like this.

She wasn't very clear either.

All I know is that as time goes by, the power gradually increases.

"I... I didn't mean to hurt them. I couldn't control my power. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. If I could, I would like to apologize to you."

"Can, can you spare me? I'm afraid of pain."

"The feeling of being burned to death is so painful, sob sob..."

As she spoke, her voice began to tremble with sobs.

Louis softened his attitude, no longer displaying his cold demeanor, and looked at Alice with some pity before stepping forward.

"Oh, I see. You're really unlucky. I can let you go, but you can't keep affecting others like this. You're making it too easy for someone to take a life."

Louis crouched down, looking at the female corpse, and said this.

Among the female corpses, Alice's eyes were blurry with tears, her gaze filled with gratitude. "May I ask your name? If I can recover in the future, I will be very grateful to you."

“Oh, no need, I don’t think you need to know my name,” Louis said strangely.

???

Alice looked at him, puzzled.

Louis, however, only looked at her with pity.

That look in his eyes seemed to hold only pity... no, there was something else, it was... a haughty contempt!

Alice's tightly closed, greyish-white eyes suddenly flashed with intense light.

This is the killer move she's been hiding!
I just wanted to lower this guy's guard!
Although she didn't understand why this guy's eyes suddenly looked strange, she knew that it was better to strike first than to be caught off guard. If she didn't act now, she felt it would be too late.

and so.

hum! ! !
In the space, an extreme illusion appeared.

……

The illusion began to blur and descend upon the present world.

The elevator, the corridor, and the underground morgue all seemed to disappear at this moment, replaced by a village.

A village with a somewhat old-fashioned Western flavor.

Villagers dressed in tattered clothes and carrying torches were angrily searching for something. Leading the way was an old man dressed in a bishop's robe, but somehow it looked out of place.

And their target was...

With wildly dancing black hair, blue eyes, bright red lips covered in blood, and a beautiful, delicate face, it was Alice.

Alice appears to be performing some kind of ritual, with six or seven figures in black robes cutting open her skin and outlining patterns.

"Gluttonous Witch! Your end is nigh!"

The old man roared righteously, and then a group of villagers rushed up with pitchforks and torches.

But this time.

Alice, who was in the middle of a ritual that could not be interrupted, suddenly started to move.

Waved.

Suddenly, a gigantic, pitch-black maw appeared and cleaved in two the person rushing towards Alice the fastest.

!!!

Everyone froze in shock at the sight.

Instead of taking the opportunity to retaliate, Alice looked towards the corner.

"Sir, aren't you coming out yet?"

Louis shook his head, stepped out from the corner, and looked around at his surroundings with amazement.

He genuinely hadn't expected that hallucinations could be played in this way.

It actually felt like a substitute for reality.

Is everything around us still an illusion?

"I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise. It was worth the pity I felt for you just now."

Alice's face darkened.

That guy's look just now was so weird.

Was he...doing it on purpose?
Actually, I didn't deceive you at all?

No, that's possible. If they really saw through it, how could they let me launch a killing move?

and so.

He's bluffing!
Louis ignored Alice; the killing move she had prepared was actually a replica of the scene when she died.

He temporarily regained his strength from when he was alive.

Sure enough, this girl is a witch.

Louis was never fooled. Just kidding, any modern person who has been through the motions of life wouldn't be so easily trusting.

Moreover, there are too many suspicious points about this guy.

So Louis never believed her from the beginning.

They're just stalling for time so they can use methods to block off the surrounding area.

However, I really didn't expect the other party to be able to pull off such a feat.

A hallucination descends, replacing reality.

It feels a bit like a fixed boundary or virtual space.

So, if a real fight breaks out, can this illusionary space hold up?

Magical power surged rapidly around Louis.

A blood-red bead shot into the sky.

A breath.

A red meteorite appeared.

Louis floated into the sky.

He looked down at Alice, whose face had stiffened.

Without saying another word, the other party was already trapped.

Wave gently.

The meteorite then fell from the sky with unparalleled power.

"Do not!!!"

Alice's eyes were filled with madness, and at this moment she revealed her afterlife once again: a huge, pitch-black mouth, ten meters wide, appeared, attempting to devour the meteorite.

A crimson flame descended upon the world.

boom! ! !
The village was completely destroyed in that instant, and all the villagers vanished like ripples in water. No, not just the villagers, the entire "world" shook.

next moment.

The illusion that covered and replaced reality was shattered!
Everything has returned to reality.

It seems nothing has changed...

No.

Changed.

In Louis's hand, the Blood River Pearl was radiating terrifying energy, poised to unleash its power.
