Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 223 The Gluttonous Witch: A Detailed Explanation of the Insider Arrangement at W Company
The elevator had been completely destroyed, and above the huge hole was a clear blue sky.

At this moment.

Louis and the female corpse were in the pit.

After calming the Soul-Suppressing Ruler in his mind, which was assisting the Blood River Pearl in releasing its power, Louis looked at the female corpse lying on one side of the pit.

The female corpse, whose final illusion had been shattered, seemed to have lost the ability to resist; her meager psychic power seemed utterly laughable to Louis.

With a thought, the immense power of the Yin spirit separated the female corpse's last remaining willpower, much like Moses parting the sea.

Looking at the female corpse with its gray-white eyes, Louis opened his mouth, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, drawing out the soul trapped inside the female corpse.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Louis swallowed the charred soul.

Louis frowned slightly, circulating his magical energy.

The five internal organs were used to grind and crush the witch's soul, which was comparable to that of a demon.

Even so, it's not foolproof.

Louis closed his eyes.

Introspect the internal organs.

The body's acupoints are believed to possess spirits.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth; white, green, black, red, yellow.

The five colors swirled and flickered within Louis's body. With each flicker, a glimmer of spiritual light flashed, aiding his internal organs in suppressing the evil spirits within.

In the past two and a half years, Louis, who has a large supply of resources, has mastered the Lesser Five Ghosts Technique, but it is still in the process of being nurtured.

Even so, it has already been able to assist the five internal organs and enhance the power of the Ghost-Eating Witchcraft.

The Lesser Five Ghosts Technique requires finding five infant ghosts that match the five elements, refining them into the five internal organs, residing in the acupoints, and transforming them into spirits within the body.

The main difficulty lies in finding a suitable infant ghost. In ancient times, finding a suitable infant ghost was extremely difficult, but unfortunately, in modern times, any hospital can find a large number of abortions.

There are quite a few infant ghosts, so finding them would naturally be easier.

At this moment, with the help of the five ghosts to suppress her, Alice, who had fallen into the heart of the fire element, completely lost her ability to resist and could only be controlled by the fire infant ghost to burn and wear her down.

Louis opened his eyes.

Without lingering, he glanced at the still undecayed female corpse, manipulated by the power of the Yin spirit, and then flashed back to the underground morgue.

I saw Tommy and his son supporting each other as they walked toward the exit.

!!!

He saw Louis suddenly appear, and the female corpse floating beside him.

Austin nervously held a knife in front of his father, while Tommy shook his head, pushed Austin aside, looked at Louis whose face was blurred, and pleaded, "Sir, could you spare our lives?"

"Okay, but you need to tell me everything that happened here."

Alice isn't entirely trustworthy, but there are two other "witnesses" here, which can be considered to some extent.

Tommy breathed a sigh of relief and then recounted everything that had happened to him.

Witch trial... painful rituals...

"...The hallucination of that female corpse was truly terrifying. My son and I almost died inside it. Even now, I'm not sure if we really escaped."

Tommy's voice was full of doubt.

Louis pondered the matter, combining Tommy's words with those of the female corpse Alice, and he came to a general understanding of the truth.

"In the illusion, I remember the bishop calling her... the Gluttonous Witch, and there was that magic circle..."

Louis turned his head and waved.

puff!

The body was indeed disemboweled this time.

There really was a tattered cloth wrapped around the teeth, with magic circle patterns drawn on it, and magic circles were also drawn on the inside of her flesh and skin.

"Hehe, as expected, a lie that is nine parts truth and one part falsehood is the hardest to distinguish."

Louis is now fairly certain that some of what Alice said is true.

During the witch trials, many women were wrongly killed, but some deserved to die, like her.

But what does "gluttonous witch" mean?
"Tsk, this theological knowledge is really tedious and troublesome."

Louis shook his head and looked at Tommy and his son, who were still watching him nervously. "You can call the police now."

Say it.

He carried the female corpse outside.

Tommy and his son were left looking at each other in bewilderment, and breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the ordeal.

……

on the ground.

The vast majority of the armed personnel were killed.

Only the captain remained, struggling against the odds with sheer willpower. On him, a sapphire was radiating light, helping him resist the onslaught of hallucinations.

Looking at the captain with his ferocious face and that sapphire, Louis stroked his chin.

"This gem is quite interesting."

He felt that this gemstone was quite similar to the red ruby ​​ring that the Indian high priest had given him, which could amplify fire.

He took the gemstone, and at the same time, the Soul-Suppressing Ruler between his eyebrows flashed with yellow light.

Dispel the illusion.

Bang!

The captain collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his entire body drenched in sweat. The cold ground jolted him awake.

Fighting off the dizziness in his head, he struggled to look up. There was grass, their car, his teammates lying dead on the ground, and a strange man holding his sapphire gadget...

and so……

"I've escaped the illusion?"

He muttered to himself.

That's what makes illusions so terrifying—even if you've escaped, you'll still doubt whether you've truly escaped!
Perhaps, the whole escape thing is just a lie!
It was all just a deeper illusion!

"Don't think about it anymore, you've definitely come out."

As soon as Louis spoke, the yellow light from the Soul-Suppressing Ruler between his brows flashed and disappeared.

That yellow light was sharp and carried a sense of protecting the soul.

Even just a moment of being illuminated, he could instinctively feel that he was being "protected," that this was reality!
"Sir, thank you very much."

"You're welcome. If you can't answer my question, you'll probably die."

???

Captain Smith looked stunned.

Louis chuckled as he played with the sapphire. "Now, tell me about your company and the whole story behind this incident."

Under Louis's intimidation.

Despite his loyalty to the company, Smith chose to tell the whole truth.

After all, having experienced ten years in the illusion, he has gained a new understanding of life. Nothing is more important than life; without life, there is nothing!

Smith is one of W Company's private militia members, considered a mid-level manager.

He originally served in the Marine Corps, but was later discharged due to injury and internal conflicts, and then encountered the problems that all American soldiers face.

money!
The military wouldn't provide him with a job, and aside from a generous bonus, Smith received nothing.

Of course, the military doesn't owe him anything, since the military's benefits during his service were indeed very good.

Because of his ex-wife, his money and house were divided up, and he also had to pay child support. Unemployed and desperate, he was recruited by Company W.

I naturally joined in.

With his outstanding skills, he joined the special armed forces in just two years and became a captain this year, reaching the middle management level in the company.

Therefore, his understanding of Company W far surpasses that of the former CIA agent and female employee he knew before. In his description...

Company W has developed rapidly in the past two years, gaining support in the southern states and establishing connections with more Jewish financial groups, which has led to a certain transformation.

The watershed—the original purpose of studying things that can control humanity and divide people into upper and lower classes—has not changed.

But they added another purpose: to find a way to cleanse themselves of their sins and ascend to heaven, or to prolong their lives and postpone their descent into hell.

This point was mainly raised by the Jewish financial magnates, but it was probably also agreed upon by the original supporters of W Company.

After all, nobody wants to go to hell.

As for how Smith knew this, it can only be said that as someone who collected all sorts of troublesome supernatural phenomena on the front lines, he was most sensitive to changes in company policy.

Take this female corpse, for example.

According to their intelligence, the most important thing is the magic circle inside the woman's stomach, which is related to the legendary demon king of the seven sins—Beelzebub of Gluttony.

How could anyone resist a magic circle that could revive the dead?

Louis's eyelids twitched. Beelzebub, the Demon King of the Seven Deadly Sins, the legendary Lord of the Flies, the Lord of Demons, the Lord of Gluttony...

This is probably the second demon I've come to know about, besides the greedy demon king Mammon.

Suppressing the strange feelings this matter evoked, Louis inquired about other things.

"What exactly is going on with this magic array?"

Louis felt that this magic circle was not just about resurrection; there must be other reasons behind it.

really.

After thinking it over carefully, Smith mentioned a rumor he had overheard at the company.

"This magic circle..."

The magic circle is a ritual called the Devouring Pain, which originated in England and seems to share a common origin with the sin-eating ritual practiced among a small number of upper-class individuals.

According to the think tank's analysis, as long as the two magic circles are gathered together, one can become a follower of Beelzebub and live forever on earth, no longer worrying about going to hell to suffer because of sins.

This is why his special armed force was dispatched directly this time; moreover, he can call for support at any time.

If the think tank's analysis hadn't been flawed, and the female corpse's hallucinations hadn't been so outrageous, he wouldn't have suffered a complete annihilation without even having a chance to call for backup.

Upon hearing this, Louis's hand froze.

It turned out to be the case.

Unexpectedly, these wealthy people shared the same worries as their grandfather.

I never imagined that combining these two rituals could achieve such an effect.

However, he sensed something was wrong.

Is it really that easy for the mighty Gluttonous Demon King to have his wishes granted? Just by completing two rituals, he can become a member of the Demon King's retinue? Is it really that simple?
Ha ha.

Bullshit!

There's definitely a trap inside!

Based on his consistent impression of the devil, Louis made this prediction.

Moreover, the plot of human leaders making foolish mistakes and going wrong due to their desires is also frequently depicted in horror movies, in this world that blends various American horror film styles.

Tsk.

Louis became more wary.

Then, looking at Smith, Louis asked another question.

Where are W Company's bases located?

Since we've already offended Company W, we might as well go all out.

He had always been wary of this force, which was supported by emerging capitalists and some Jewish tycoons, but as his strength increased, and now it seemed that the other party was not so strong after all.

Given the ebb and flow of this situation, isn't it normal to have some ideas?
If we could find out where the enemy's main base is.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to take them all in one go?

Seemingly sensing Louis's thoughts, Smith quickly said, "Sir, I only know about some of the strongholds, which are..."

Aside from top management, nobody knew where the headquarters was, and the company was quite powerful.

"It's just that most of the resources have been diverted to the side of those wealthy people."

At this point, Smith's expression also showed some helplessness.

?

Louis was taken aback. Good heavens, this W company really fits the characteristics of a capitalist company.

Looking at Smith, Louis suddenly changed his mind.

Company W is not something that can be destroyed in one go. Even if one is destroyed, more will emerge because it is not just a company, but an expression of the unspoken desires of many high-level figures in human society.

Unless, from within, they take over Company W, or at the very least, they need to have an inside man.

At that time, whether it's usurping someone else's place or wiping them all out in one fell swoop, the initiative will be in our own hands.

and so.

"Smith, do you want to live?" Louis asked quietly.

Smith, without hesitation, slid down to his knees and said, "Sir, please tell me, how can I live? I'll do whatever you say!"

Goodness, they're really sensible.

Louis laughed, and a blood-red pill the size of a little finger appeared in his hand.

The new type of blood gu, which cannot be detected by conventional scientific means, is the best way to control people like him.

Tempted by the prospect of survival, Smith willingly submitted to control.

He became Louis's mole within W Company.

Smith touched his now-healed neck, and whether it was just his imagination or not, he felt as if a worm was crawling down his neck toward his brain.

Tiny, blood-red, thread-like worms slithered around his brain, ready to devour it if he disobeyed orders.

He even thought of a terrifying insect called the brain-eating worm.

I shivered.

He glanced at Smith, who seemed lost in thought.

Louis glanced at the magic circle in his hand, memorized it, and then tossed it to Smith.

“Sir, uh, boss?” Smith asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Then go back and report this. I'll help you get promoted within W Company. I hope you won't let me down."

"Yes! Boss!"

Smith straightened his back and gave Louis an American military salute.

"As for this matter, you'll have to figure out how to answer it yourself. That's all."

"Call for backup."

After saying this, Louis disappeared without a trace with the woman's corpse.

Smith remained silent as he watched his boss disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving behind the contact information in his palm.

Everything that happened today is truly surreal.

It was just a simple, urgent task, how did it turn out like this...?

At last.

He sighed, touched his neck, and seemed to feel the bloodthirsty worms.

After shivering, he picked up his pager.

soon.

The local police force and another special armed unit arrived at the scene.

That's right.

They even interfered with the police force.
