Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 235 "Summoning the Soul 1" Ritual
Rhode Island.

Harrisville.

A lakeside cottage located on the edge of a city street, with a lake nearby.

Roger, a middle-aged man, sat on the sofa, scratching his head in frustration, while Ed Warren, dressed in an orange suit, was setting up cameras and surveillance equipment in their home. Lorraine, meanwhile, was watching Roger's wife, Caroline, and their five children with sharp eyes.

Then, as if sensing something, she nodded to Ed and went to Mrs. Caroline to find out what was going on and to comfort her. She could tell that among the family, this lady was the one most severely corrupted!
Ed looked down at the house from upstairs, his gaze deep. Since his wife had agreed, it meant that the place was indeed being haunted by evil spirits. The most urgent thing now was to gather evidence so that an exorcism could be performed as soon as possible.

After setting everything up, Ed went downstairs to Roger, lit a cigarette, and the two men began to talk.

“When evil spirits appear, the surrounding temperature usually drops sharply. Infrared thermal imaging cameras, surveillance cameras, and thermometers can all give us an early warning.”

"In addition, it is also to film the abnormal situation as evidence. Only after the church approves it can we invite a professional priest to help with the exorcism."

"Of course, if the situation is urgent, I can also apply for an emergency exorcism permit. In short, Mr. Roger, you don't need to worry too much."

"As long as it's not too complicated, we can handle it, so please don't worry."

Ed said these words on purpose to appease Roger.

After listening to Ed's explanation, the haggard Roger nodded, seemingly trusting Ed more.

Seeing this, Ed, who had already determined that this was a real paranormal case, began to ask questions.

"Mr. Roger, could you tell me the details of the whole incident?"

For these ghost experts who don't possess strong mystical powers and can only rely on props to exorcise demons, solving each paranormal event is more like solving a case.

By verifying the authenticity of various clues, then investigating the origin, cause, and truth, a solution can finally be found.

Therefore, the client's detailed account is very important.

Through Roger's narration, Ed also got a general outline of what had happened.

Roger Perron and his family moved here two weeks ago due to a job transfer.

In fact, the first two days after we moved in were fine; apart from the dog barking incessantly, there was nothing unusual.

But just two days later, tragedy struck. First, the dog was found dead outside the door when the wife woke up. Then, bruises appeared on her body, and the children began to experience problems, such as being pulled by the ankles in their sleep or having sleepwalking episodes.

At first, Roger didn't realize these problems because he was out driving a truck to earn money, and these were things his wife briefly mentioned when she called him, so he didn't take any precautions.

As the abnormal situation worsened, the evil spirit began to wreak havoc in the house. First, there were inexplicable clapping sounds while the wife was playing hide-and-seek with the children. Then, the door automatically locked itself, trapping the wife in a dark room. Later, the children also witnessed the evil spirit while playing hide-and-seek and were even attacked...

Fortunately, he returned in time, opened the door to rescue his wife, and comforted his frightened daughters.

Trusting his wife and daughter, he chose to seek help from paranormal experts. Caroline happened to have seen the Warrens' show and read their newspaper before, so she called them for assistance.

And then it's today.

“If I hadn’t just bought a truck and been short of money, I might have chosen to move away from this place.”

Roger said to Ed with a wry smile.

move place?

Ed shook his head inwardly. That's not up to you. The evil spirits in this place have already deeply entangled your family.

Based on his experience and the description, he could already tell that the evil spirits followed their three-step process: harassment, oppression, and possession.

From the night the dog died, the evil spirit had been harassing them. The subsequent games of hide-and-seek and the appearance of the evil spirit were even more oppressive, with the aim of causing them heavy psychological pressure.

Right now, it's probably still in the oppression stage, but if it's not stopped in time, it will probably soon progress to the possession stage.

“Mr. Roger, I think I need to take a good look at your house.”

Ed said that.

"You mean, the strange things happening in our house are really related to this house?!" Roger stood up excitedly, knocking over a chair and making a clattering sound.

"Mr. Roger, please calm down."

“I didn’t say that, after all, I haven’t conducted any investigation.”

"Alright, please follow me."

Roger then described the general layout of the house.

Ed then walked out of the house and looked around. At that moment, Rowling, who had calmed Caroline down, came out.

"It's confirmed. The dark matter here is very dense, and there are quite a few evil spirits. They've enveloped the entire house and the Perrin family, especially Caroline. She's in bad shape and is probably the main target."

"Yes, as expected. This matter needs to be reported to higher authorities as soon as possible. Hopefully, the new priests will be able to play a role in this reform of the church."

Rowling nodded. She understood what Ed meant. A few years ago, because darkness had returned, the church had opened an exorcism school in response to the new era. The school specifically recruited priests and nuns and taught them exorcism methods.

These new priests can be described as combat priests and nuns specializing in exorcism.

Now that the first batch of students has graduated, if we were to request an exorcism permit from the church now, they might actually send a fighting priest/nun.

at this time.

Rowling's expression changed, and she stared intently at what was behind Ed.

Ed frowned slightly. Years of experience and tacit understanding made him react instantly, and he immediately turned his head to look.

Not far behind him, a person was hanging from a rope in the branches of a large tree. His long, messy hair covered his entire head, and his white home clothes looked dirty.

His whole body was swaying slightly, before Rowling could even speak.

The evil spirit vanished in an instant.

"..."

“The evil spirit… perhaps it’s warning us,” Rowling said to Ed, looking at the large tree.

“They might also be targeting us, trying to intimidate or harass us,” Ed added.

"There's no time to lose. I'll report to the church now. Given the increasing frequency of paranormal events these days, even without much evidence, the church should agree."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to Roger's family and make sure they're mentally prepared."

Subsequently, the couple divided the work: one contacted the church, while the other gathered the Perron family together to begin explaining.

……

On the streets of Harrisville.

Louis, dressed in a black trench coat, wearing sunglasses, and chewing gum, walked around looking around.

Don't ask him why he's dressed like that; it's all because of an accidental incident where he used the remnant soul of that obscene demon Abalam to practice his charm magic.

Having obtained the most important of the three elements of charm, the obscene soul, the other two conditions were not difficult to meet. Of course, Louis would not leave them unpracticed, so he practiced on the way here.

With Louis's current level of cultivation, practicing this ordinary technique went quite smoothly. The obscene soul was easily crushed, ground, and condensed into spiritual essence; the Five-Ingredient Soup made from rare animals such as wolf kisses and tiger hearts was also easy to obtain in America.

However, due to the last condition—that is, honing one's temperament and skills amidst a sea of ​​flowers—the lack of such objective conditions has led to Louis being able to let go but not to rein himself in.

To avoid attracting attention, he had to put on sunglasses while fully activating his hidden techniques.

"Tsk, this charm technique is really powerful. Simple concealment techniques can't hide it. It must be related to the fact that Abaram is such a high-quality material."

"Once this is all sorted out, I'll go back and open a silver handkerchief shop. Hmm, a ball would be nice too, but no, it's too dirty..."

Louis was pondering this when he suddenly stopped, glancing at the cordon tape and the construction sign in front of him.

I looked up slightly and gazed ahead. In the distance, there was a black dot, and there, a large number of people gathered.

"This is the right location."

"It really is... it's quite close to the place where the Warrens performed the exorcism."

Louis glanced at the black dot in the distance and the location of the lakeside cabin not far away on the map, then reached for his phone and made a call. A moment later, he straightened his steps, his figure slightly blurred, and flew towards the black dot in the distance.

The Gluttony Array is almost complete.

Compared to the Gluttony Circle, which can resurrect, transform humans into servants, and remove sins, the Warrens, who are not part of the Conjuring 2 Nun storyline, are not of very high value.

So the choice is quite obvious.

Louis sped through the sky, his figure swaying.

Draw a long line.

soon.

Louis stopped in mid-air, looking down into the distance.

Below.

A huge black cloth covered everything, and the only sound was the deafening roar of the machines inside.

Through the black cloth and cover, squads of soldiers patrolled back and forth inside. On the temporary buildings and cranes set up nearby, there were snipers on high places. Louis could even see sentry posts and towers with searchlights on inside!

There appear to be some heavy weapons hidden in some concealed locations on the ground.

All of this left Louis dumbfounded.

"Damn, is this a military base?"

I glanced at my phone and sure enough, the signal in this area was blocked. I wondered how Smith managed to send me the message; I had underestimated him.

Take a deep breath.

Faced with modern weapons, especially heavy weapons, Louis, who is only at the Pure Yin Realm, must take them seriously.

but!

Powerful weapons do not equate to powerful people.

The humans who control these world-destroying weapons are nothing but tofu dregs.

Eliminating these armed groups would be a piece of cake for Louis if he wanted to, provided no mysterious force intervened.

"Let me see what the complete Gluttony Circle can summon. Hopefully, it will be a demon in its true form."

Louis's eyes flashed, and he activated his Hidden Technique to its fullest extent. The invisibility function of the Myriad Illusions Robe was activated, and his entire figure completely disappeared in the air, flying downwards.

……

Since ancient times.

Humans have an extraordinary passion for prolonging life, and both the East and the West have legends about extending lifespan and immortality.

The powerful and wealthy, in particular, are enthusiastic about this and continue to invest their efforts in it.

It was the medieval kings and lords who took over, then the mad scientists and big merchants, and now capitalists and officials have taken over this goal.

Company W, a special company backed by emerging capitalists.

In a short time, it spread across most of America and even projected its influence overseas, to South America, Africa, Europe, and other places, searching for anything that could prolong life, whether it was special materials or sinister rituals...

The Gluttony Array is one of them.

A special magic circle rumored to be able to communicate with Beelzebub, the gluttonous demon king of hell.

It was unpopular because it was always incomplete.

Until recently, the corpse of the Gluttony Witch completed the magic circle, igniting the enthusiasm of a group of capitalists.

This place, with its enormous area and defenses resembling a military base, is the sacrificial site built by these cowardly old men.

I don't know how it will end up.

I hope it's not really the Demon King descending...

Smith thought to himself.

At this time.

A middle-aged woman in her thirties walked over. She had a very sexy figure, but her face was stiff and serious at first glance.

"Captain Smith, the supervisor wants you to take some men to guard the sacrificial offering warehouse on the west side."

“West side? The sacrificial offering warehouse?” Smith stared at the woman.

The woman looked at him defiantly.

"This is the supervisor's order."

After a while.

"Okay, I'll go."

The woman immediately smiled with satisfaction and turned away triumphantly.

Watching the woman's swaying figure, Smith felt no temptation whatsoever; his face was filled with resentment and anger. At this moment, the team members next to him also spoke up.

"That damn bitch, at a time like this, she actually wants us to go look at the sacrificial offering warehouse? Isn't this just blatantly making us lose out?"

"That's right, so the leaders won't see us when they come."

"Captain, we can't agree to this. What good are the supervisor's orders? We're not in the same unit as him."

"..."

"Enough, all of you quiet down. Do you know that supervisor has a powerful background? Now, let's go to the western sacrificial warehouse."

The group could only suppress their anger and follow Smith westward.

In fact.

Smith was very happy at that moment, and even grateful to the female assistant and the supervisor.

Showing up in front of the leader?
Ha ha.

Next, that place will only become a danger zone, and he doesn't want to get close to it at all. He was just looking for a reason to move away, and you've delivered it to him. That's great.

A fleeting smile crossed Smith's lips.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Smith showed no curiosity upon seeing the sealed-off area and quietly remained there.

soon.

A helicopter flew in from afar and then slowly landed at the base.

The ceremony is about to begin.
