Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 234 The Fish Has Been Caught on the Bait
I am Minnie, a girl from an ordinary family in Texas.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably finish high school and enter the workforce to find a job to support myself, like a waiter or dishwasher.

Then, after a few years, find a decent man to marry, and together worry about insurance and loans. Perhaps one day, expenses will exceed income, leading to a deficit, and then you might have to sell your blood to supplement your income.

They just barely manage to survive like this.

The days ahead are predictable.

However, I was probably a bit luckier. In a nightmare, I discovered my special ability and met someone—yes, my boss, a very mysterious and powerful person.

He signed a contract with me, which may look like a contract of servitude, but he gave me a lot!
So, in order to change my fate, I signed this "devilish" contract and was sent to an old woman's house as an "undercover agent" to learn her techniques and experience.

This job lasted for several years.

She has also grown from an eighteen-year-old high school graduate into a mature adult.

Not long ago, her boss, who seemed to have forgotten about her, finally remembered her and issued a summons. With no other choice, as a price for voluntarily signing a contract and taking a "loyalty guarantee drug," she had to go.

She arrived at a place called Cleaner Company.

Here, she met another old woman, whose demeanor was very similar to that of her master, Ellis. Her name was Alma, and she would become her partner.

The boss assigned her a task: to form a team around her and Alma to exorcise demons for the powerful and wealthy.

Exorcism?

That should be easy, since evil spirits don't come that often.

I soon realized I was wrong.

……

"The Hal family in the Boston area of ​​Cambridge has requested assistance. According to the surveyors, it has been preliminarily identified as a medium-sized evil spirit. Mr. Fook has given the order for the two of you to proceed immediately."

The white woman wearing round-framed glasses spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, but Minnie found it utterly unpleasant and rather irritating.

"Ahhhhh, I got it!"

Minnie picked up her toolbox and headed outside, where she successfully encountered her partner, Alma, an elderly woman who was wiping her gold-rimmed glasses, in front of the Hummer.

The two got into the car.

Minnie, you don't seem to be in a good mood.

"Ugh, Ms. Alma, don't you find this annoying? How many times has this happened in the last few days? When I did exorcise demons before, it was never this extreme," Minnie complained, but her hands continued to rummage through the toolbox to make sure everything was there.

"How did these damned evil spirits become so numerous!"

Alma smiled mysteriously. Through divination, she discovered some secrets, and combined with her life experience, she had guessed why evil spirits appeared so frequently in the homes of the powerful and wealthy.

However, there's no need to talk about this, lest it cause trouble. Don't forget your current status.

"Minnie, you forgot something."

Alma took out a small peach wood cross pendant and a peach wood pendant of the Kitchen God.

“We get paid for each exorcism, and we also get a commission for selling these products. We even get a point every now and then.”

"You've probably already seen what those points can be redeemed for, right?"

"So, in nature, this is just ordinary work, and compared to those who sell their time and physical strength and still don't earn much money, this is already a very generous treatment. Why are you so annoyed?"

Minnie paused, then sighed after a moment of silence. "Okay, Ms. Alma, you're right. I just haven't gotten used to it yet. I'll work on it from now on."

"Good boy, alright, time to get to work."

The vehicle stops.

The two walked toward a villa.

In front of the villa, a man surrounded by several servants looked panicked, while a woman held a child and wept softly.

After exchanging a few words...

Minnie and Alma went inside, accompanied by a person carrying a camera.

soon.

With a mournful wail, the black, smoke-like entity vanished into thin air.

Whether intentionally or not, the evil spirit was eventually cornered by the window, where Minnie held two amulets with a stern expression.

This scene happened to be witnessed by the owner of the place.

A moment later, Minnie and Alma came out.

Alma bowed slightly to the two of them. "Gentlemen, the evil spirits in the house have been completely eliminated. If you can, please give us a good review."

"Also, this is a talisman that can exorcise demons... And this one? This one is a deity called the Kitchen God, who specifically protects the family..."

"Sir/Madam, Cleaner Company is at your service."

……

“Very good. If this continues, their fame will soon skyrocket. Then they won’t need to put on such a show; they will gain the trust of those powerful and influential people.”

"Let's get our soldiers properly packaged and start taking on jobs and carrying out containment."

Then, he hung up the phone.

The initial strategy of the Cleaners Company was to create a partnership to gain the trust of the wealthy, making it easier for the Cleaners Company to infiltrate their businesses.

What followed was a different strategy.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Louis for the time being.

After dividing the company into several departments and assigning relevant leaders, as well as outlining the next strategic steps, Louis handed the company over to Fauci, while he himself went to MIT.

Under the helpless gaze of the bald director, he finally enrolled.

To be honest, the academic workload at MIT is actually quite relaxed. The management is very lenient, and most courses are not mandatory, so it largely depends on your self-discipline. However, the exams are very strict.

But this wasn't a problem for Louis, not because he was particularly talented, but because he hadn't come to this place simply to study.

Connections, certificates, and three women—these are the real reasons he came here.

As for courses, they can be solved by spending some money. Every school has students like this, just to get a prestigious degree. Everyone understands and has done it before.

So Louis lived a leisurely life, occasionally going to school and spending most of his time enjoying himself in his villa.

In a location in the Boston borough that is neither too remote nor too secluded, a rather luxurious villa stands.

Louis slumped comfortably in his chair, basking in the sun, his fishing rod gently held in his hand. The fishing line floated in the pond in front of him, and a gentle breeze stirred up ripples on the azure surface of the pond.

And behind Louis.

Yulenka changed into a white suit, a confident smile on her face, and practiced her public speaking skills in front of the mirror.

At this moment, Yulenka looked very dignified, with the air of an elite, but his smile was also very approachable, making him seem like a good politician.
Beside her was Hayley, who was engrossed in studying the method of surveying ley lines that Louis had taught her.

She had actually already learned how to apply the formulas, but as a studious person, she always unconsciously wanted to delve deeper into these things, but this kind of thing, similar to Go, was really hard for her to understand.

She has already smashed the third sand table in frustration.

Finally, there's Mary. As an absolute genius, she has almost finished studying the method for surveying ley lines, so she's quite relaxed now—pointing to her fingers as she weaves Louis's hair.

Louis was asleep with his eyes half-closed, seemingly completely unaware of what Marie was doing.

Mary chuckled as she braided her hair into small braids, then used them to draw tiny figures, seemingly trying to create a "doll" kingdom on Louis's head. This was the current state of everyone in the villa. As for the maids that Uncle Fu had arranged, they hadn't arrived yet because arrangements were still being made.

Of course, for Louis, this was quite nice, quiet.

At this time.

"Jingle Bell……"

The cell phone rang suddenly.

Mary's hand trembled, and she slipped behind Hailey like a rabbit.

Louis opened his eyes, and his phone automatically floated out to answer. "Boss, the Warrens have made a move."

After a while.

Louis hung up the phone and seemed lost in thought.

The Warrens have arrived in Rhode Island, a small state located in southern Massachusetts, also close to New York State, and quite near Massachusetts.

The Warrens came here because they had been asked to perform an exorcism, and according to their intelligence agents, it was very likely that this was a genuine case of an evil spirit.

Yes, it was a real case of an evil spirit.

Although the couple has resolved many cases involving evil spirits over the years, those cases spanned more than ten or twenty years. In fact, most of the time, the so-called cases involving evil spirits were false.

It could be a murder, paranoia, or mental illness; the reasons vary.

Only a few times are they real; that is, the actual number of evil spirit incidents has gradually increased in recent years.

Louis had been keeping an eye on the couple, and since this matter was happening nearby and had a high probability of being true, it might be worth making the trip.
Hmm, when exactly does the Nun's storyline begin?

Unfortunately, this is a hybrid world; otherwise, we might be able to take the initiative to find the other side and wouldn't have to wait like this.

Shaking his head, Louis still decided to go, since it was indeed quite close by.

at this time.

The phone rang again.

At the same time, the hook twitched slightly, indicating that a fish had taken the bait.

Click.

The call is connected.

"Master, the company has made a big move. Both magic arrays have been fully repaired, and the chairman has personally ordered their use."

"The specific time is two weeks from now, in Rhode Island..."

"This time it will be a large-scale event, with a large number of armed personnel deployed here. Moreover, the number of offerings is also very large. I can tell that the chairman and the higher-ups attach great importance to this sacrifice."

"That's all, Master. Please be careful."

The phone hangs up.

The caller was Smith, a survivor of W Company whom Louis had found when dealing with the case of the unidentified female corpse. In order to capture them all, he recruited them and turned them into spies.

They even gave him credit.

Now, the other party has called and reported on W Company's next steps.

"The Gluttony Array and the Sin Eater Array, when combined, form the complete Gluttony Array, which can resurrect people and even make them Gluttony's servants..."

"It's also Rhode Island, which is quite a coincidence."

"It seems like we have no choice but to go to Rhode Island this time."

"Hopefully it won't start strong but end weak."

Louis suddenly lifted the fishing rod, and a large fish thrashed its body in the sunlight, shimmering with golden light.

……

Rhode Island.

A certain city.

The power of capital is immense.

They just found an excuse to get local officials to cooperate, approve the land, and have several construction teams arrive overnight to start work on the land.

For several days in a row, the area was filled with a constant rumbling sound, day and night.

This annoyed the surrounding residents, but no one caused trouble after receiving the compensation.

In fact, it was precisely because of the martial law-like atmosphere that people were somewhat intimidated and dared not approach them to cause trouble.

Inside a building covered by a black cloth.

Smith stood at the head of the line, fully armed, with the soldiers under his command in front of him, and more fully armed soldiers standing guard not far away.

Although he failed last time, he also succeeded, since he brought back the Gluttony Array. Therefore, he is still one of the chairman's direct subordinates.

The team was reorganized in this short period of time.

And so, he was called upon again for this crucial task, tasked with guarding and protecting the place to ensure that no one could interfere with the sacrifice.

The person in charge of the project here is a senior executive of the company, and once the project is successful, even the real senior executives of the company may come.

After all, the prospect of resurrection is too tempting.

The fact that they didn't come immediately is already a result of their fear of death.

"Master, this time, it's really dangerous... Don't come, don't come, don't take the risk, I don't want to lose my life..."

Looking under the black cloth, there was a five-pointed star magic circle that covered an area of ​​over a hundred meters, made of black bricks and stones.

And then there were the various bloody offerings placed on top.

For example, homeless people were slaughtered like dead pigs, their bodies separated, and blood flowed all over the ground.

And in those deep ravines, the remaining limbs and blood filled the space, emitting a strong stench.

It looked just like a slaughterhouse.

Looking down from above, it appears as a bloody pentagram, surrounded by intricate patterns of crosses and circles, all of which are filled with copious amounts of blood.

Horror, gloom, and bloodshed—that's the atmosphere here.

Smith's gaze remained fixed.

As the team leader, he must fulfill his responsibilities!

He just kept praying in his heart that nothing would go wrong this time, that the master wouldn't come, and that the ceremony would fail. That would be the best outcome!

……

at the same time.

The Warrens have already bought tickets to travel to Rhode Island.

The client was a family, who said it was a haunted house and that even after they left, they couldn't escape its influence.

They found the Warrens through some channels and provided them with some evidence, which seemed to lack authenticity. However, out of a sense of responsibility, they decided to go and investigate.
