Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 226 Making a Wish Leads to Evil
Inside the music box, the demon clown instinctively trembled and closed his eyes.

After a moment, when he realized there was no more sound, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes immediately.

Perhaps because the fusion with the human named Jack was too thorough, it has acquired many human emotions, such as fear and cowardice, and these emotions are comparable to its cruelty and tyranny as a demon.

Otherwise, Jack wouldn't have been able to persevere through the fusion process and even affect it.

However, it always believed that it was the priest who was behind this, otherwise it would have been able to handle an ordinary human!
Once it gets out, we must find that priest's descendant and kill him mercilessly! Torture him mercilessly!

But before it could finish its daydream, the thumping sound rang out again.

This time, it heard it very clearly; it was right beside it, right next to its current hiding place...

outside.

Louis stroked his chin, looking at the music box.

Let's put the ghost nun and other matters aside for later. The Warrens haven't encountered this situation yet, so they still have time to prepare. Right now, they should think of a way to lure the demon.

For example... utilizing this otherworldly demon.

He remembered that the Otherworldly Demons were formed from fragments of gods that had fallen into darkness, and they possessed the ability to grant wishes to a certain extent, making them relatively rare.

This music box clown is suspected to be a demon. Since the other party can grant wishes, can I make a wish for a demon?

Louis narrowed his eyes.

Previously, we lacked strength and information about the enemy, and were therefore wary of them.

Now...

clap clap!

Clap your hands.

Soon, two burly men walked in.

As Louis had instructed, a condemned prisoner was brought in.

Without wasting words, Louis used illusions to control the other party, causing them to rotate the four letters on the music box.

Click, click, click… click, click…

Because there was no English word for "devil," Louis controlled it to manifest as "evil."

Of course, because the word "evil" is too broad, Louis also controlled the illusion to make it more specific, trying to make the death row inmate's mind think only of finding the devil.

This is to increase the accuracy of the pointing.

Then, the condemned prisoner turned the handle of the music box, and with a burst of music, the top of the large music box gradually opened, revealing a dark hole.

"The next step, according to the rules, is to sacrifice six lives? That's simple."

He casually pressed a button on the wall next to him, and a square hidden opening suddenly appeared in the corner of the secret room.

Six bound criminals were slowly transported up the underground elevator under the supervision of two guards. This was because Louis would be using a lot of manpower when he was conducting experiments and practicing magic.

That's why this simple, quick, and convenient facility was created.

Six criminals, each with a ball stuffed in their mouth, stared at the strange scene before them, their eyes displaying a variety of emotions: cowardice, fear, anger, and ferocity...

But it's okay.

Louis ignored them all.

Regardless of their thoughts, they could not escape the fate of death.

Would a person deliberately crush an ant just because it's staring at them? No, because they wouldn't even see it.

The six criminals were thus driven to the music box.

but.

It's been so long, where is the clown demon?

Shouldn't it smell the fragrance of human souls and immediately rush out to start reaping?
Where is the demon?

Louis frowned. When he used the magic to extract the essence, he could forcefully draw it out. But now that there was a sacrifice, it wouldn't come out?
Go forward.

In the blink of an eye, a criminal's arm was torn off, and the gushing blood, along with the arm, was thrown into the music box.

Crunchy——

Louis could vaguely hear the sound of chewing.

He squinted instantly.

The power of the Yin spirit rushed into the box.

The music depicts a narrow space, roughly the size of two people, quite cramped. Inside the box, there are patterns engraved, seemingly resembling the writing of the Bible.

The inside of this box is a completely different world; the two are vastly different in size compared to the box itself, which is quite magical.

Tsk.

My Lord, why didn't you leave me a storage bag, the standard equipment for cultivators? Now I can only look at these spatial items with envy. Even if you didn't leave me one, couldn't you at least have left me a recipe for it?

I'll refine it myself later.

Shaking his head to clear these thoughts, Louis used the power of his Yin spirit to drag out the clown demon that was hiding inside and gnawing on his arm.

"Uuuuuu——"

A whimpering sound came from its mouth, its cheeks were ashen, and its appearance was bizarre. The demon, dressed in a clown costume, was clinging tightly to the edge of the music box, seemingly unwilling to come out at all.

???

Louis frowned even more deeply.

Is this a demon?

Is this really a demon?

Those demons before begged for mercy, but they've never been this spineless! Where has your cruelty and tyranny gone, your indiscriminate killing?
His eyes turned cold.

The power of the Yin spirit suddenly increased, and it violently dragged him over.

Looking at Louis, the clown demon shook his head repeatedly, uttering indistinct syllables, "I...am...a human..."

"Lots of nonsense."

Louis slapped him across the face, and the clown demon's expression changed, becoming fierce and angry.

“That’s right.” Louis nodded and brought the condemned prisoner to it.

Click!

that's it.

One by one, in the fear of waiting to die, all six criminals died at the hands of the clown demon.

As the criminal died, the clown demon inhaled sharply, opening his mouth as if chewing something, a satisfied expression of enjoyment appearing on his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

Clearly, it is eating souls.

In many myths and legends, demons are said to eat souls.

There is a reason for this. For demons, souls not only have different tastes due to differences in personality, experience, potential, etc., but they can also satisfy a demon's appetite, fill its hunger, and enhance its power.

Theoretically speaking, as long as one consumes enough souls, even an ordinary demon can become a demon king.

Therefore, for demons, the soul is irresistible.

The clown demon is obviously no exception.

As it devoured the six souls, the rules began to take effect. The clown demon's expression changed, and he looked at Louis with a sullen face before slowly returning to the music box.

Just before the curtain closed, the clown demon's eyes were fixed on Louis, its meaning unclear.

ka ka ka-

The music box slowly closed.

The handle started turning again, and a playful melody began to play.

click!
Finally, the music stopped.

A note inexplicably appeared on the ground.

Louis controlled the aircraft and began to watch.

The text above is quite interesting. It roughly means: "The wish is difficult to fulfill completely; only a part of it can be fulfilled."

Within several states, when a demon reveals its presence or aura, the music box will provide guidance to locate it; this is how the music box grants wishes.

Regardless of its actual ability to grant wishes, to be honest, this thing actually does grant wishes.

Instead of playing tricks or engaging in conspiracies.

No, that's not right. It's not that it doesn't want to try new things, it's that it can't; the rules are restricting it!
The priest who made this box is more impressive than I imagined.

Louis burned the note, glanced at the music box, and pondered to himself.

With this demon compass, we can speed up the process of collecting demons to advance to the Yang God level. Indeed, these strange things must be used flexibly.

Should we try using monkey paws?
Louis thought of it subconsciously, but immediately dismissed the idea.

He instinctively felt something was off about the monkey's paw. He hadn't noticed it before when his cultivation was lower, but now that he was at the Pure Yin Realm, he could vaguely sense its strangeness.

Let's talk about it when we reach the Yang Shen stage.

"Next up are these two boxes."

After processing one box, there are still two more to go.

The box containing the otherworldly stone of the Moth God, and the box containing the cursed tarot cards related to the demon Erdiki.
