Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 284 A Fork in the Road of Fortune

The most important aspects of a magical artifact are its material and the magical restrictions it contains. The two complement each other. If the material is insufficient, it cannot accommodate more magical restrictions. The number and function of the magical restrictions determine the power of the magical artifact.

Both are indispensable.

As Louis forcibly restrained the large core of evil energy and poured it into the five magical artifacts, the materials of the artifacts began to subtly change.

Next, we wait for the material to evolve, which will naturally lead to the creation of a thirteenth layer of magical restrictions. Of course, this is only for the Blood River Pearl; the other magical artifacts are still a bit lacking.

However, it doesn't matter. Louis has advanced to the Yang God realm, and with the power of the Yang God nurturing him, the speed at which the magical artifacts are nurtured is very fast. I believe that they will soon become high-grade magical artifacts one after another.

Louis put the five magical artifacts into his ring and walked outside.

It's time to go back to Tokyo to see how the tribute preparations are going. We also need to mobilize them, set up the national spirit refining array, and make arrangements for the forces here.

Then research the immortality of ghost stories, keep an eye on Kayako's situation, and then you can return to America.

Louis stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, and Carrie walked over.

"Let's go back to Tokyo."

"it is good."

Then, Louis vanished in a flash, taking Carrie with him. Their figures moved at high speed through the air without causing any disturbance, such as breaking through the clouds, creating a sonic boom, or producing flames.

……

Suginami Ward, Tokyo.

As an area on the outskirts of Tokyo, this place is not very prosperous. It's like a siphon effect, with the core six wards sucking away all the economy.

The outer area of ​​Tokyo, like the Hebei region of eastern Japan, is the central moat.

However, they were still part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, not the countryside, and the cost of living here was not low. So, the couple quickly ran out of money.

They're now standing on the street, blaming each other.

"I'm out of money. Everyone said we needed to save money for train tickets. Why didn't you remind me?"

"You were in charge of the money, I thought it was enough."

"You could at least have reminded me."

"I already said I didn't know! What are you reminding me of! If we don't talk about this, how are we going to go back now? Ask our parents for some money?"

"Don't change the subject. You ate the most and played everything according to your wishes. What kind of tone is that now?!"

"No, you want to start a fight?"

"..."

The two became increasingly agitated as they talked, until the woman threw her bag at the man, instantly igniting the explosives. The man, showing no mercy, threw his own backpack away.

"You dare to hit me!"

The woman screamed and started scratching herself, while the man remained silent, only throwing his bag around.

Snapped!
Everything was smashed to pieces.

A videotape also fell out and landed right at the street corner. Inside this street corner was a series of residential areas where a large number of students were going to and from school.

With her long black hair and a gloomy aura, Kayako walked along the street with her head down, leaning against the wall, her hands on her backpack straps, seemingly oblivious to everything around her.

She only raised her head slightly when her path was blocked by a couple arguing ahead, her eyes peering through her bangs towards the street corner.

It seems like...a couple...arguing...

Even though she knew the two men's fierce expressions weren't directed at her, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She subconsciously slowed her pace and crossed her arms over her chest, as if she wanted to hug something, but she only managed to hug empty air.

Oh, Xiao Hei is still at home. The school doesn't allow cats, and she's always secretly carried her cat in her backpack, but recently they've been stricter, so she hasn't brought Xiao Hei with her.

My heart was in turmoil, and I didn't know where to put my arms, which were crossed over my chest. I felt like whatever I did would attract their attention...

Kayako's heart calmed down the moment her palm touched a hard lump on the side.

She straightened her back slightly, kept her eyes straight ahead as if she hadn't seen them, and tried her best to walk forward as if nothing was wrong.

Not far in the direction she was heading, a videotape was trembling slightly.

In a field of vision invisible to the naked eye, the videotape was rapidly emanating wisps of special spiritual power, like telekinesis. However, unlike normal telekinesis, this spiritual power was filled with intense despair, resentment, and a dark will.

Kayako was no less awe-inspiring; her intense sense of unease seemed to sense a threat and began to gradually coalesce.

As Kayako approached, these two equally dark, equally resentful, and equally terrifying forces began to subtly collide.

sky.

The white clouds had somehow turned black, and like a virus, they began to spread rapidly in the surrounding area, with large amounts of black clouds appearing and coalescing into patches.

Looking from afar, it resembles the ancient poem: "Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it."

The people of Suginami Ward looked up at the sudden change in weather, cursing the bureaucrats who did nothing but eat and wasted taxpayers' money, saying that the weather forecast was as if it didn't exist, while trying to find ways to avoid the rain.

It's so dark outside, it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall!

Street intersection.

Da da da--

Heavy, noisy footsteps accompanied by faint sounds of commotion could be heard.

"Snapped!"

A man with blond hair, a streamlined and muscular build, and an obvious sense of strength, but whose face completely lacked the aura of a powerful figure, suddenly rushed out from the side.

His mouth was wide open, his tongue was flailing like a cat about to be choked, his eyes were wide open, and his running posture was unusually exaggerated. If no wild beast was chasing him, he would not be able to run like that.

Swish!
Suddenly, he turned sideways and veered into the street.

I pressed my body against the wall and held my breath.

Da da da--

A cacophony of footsteps and grumbling swept past from the side.

"Damn it, that bastard's leader is running this way. We need to catch him quickly, or we won't be able to hold our ground."

"Baka! Is the Kazuyaya-kai launching a full-scale war by attacking us suddenly? We're a subordinate organization of the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

"What's the use of saying all this? Hurry up and chase after them. That bastard is still chasing us. He's too fast. Even Musashi on his motorcycle couldn't catch him."

Is this the direction?

"It should be him, the back view I saw looks like his."

"..."

A dozen or so people surged to the other side.

Only after the footsteps disappeared did the blond-haired guy, or rather, Kikukawa Reiji, finally breathe a sigh of relief; he was completely drained of energy.

Exciting, so exciting! No, I mean, so unlucky!
Everything was going well. A large number of people gathered and caught the Ito group off guard. It looked like they were about to take down the enemy's base, but then an accident suddenly happened.

Those guys actually pulled out five guns!

Not all of them were low-powered handguns; one of them was actually a shotgun!
You troll!
Those shotguns that can send people flying and smash them to pieces with a single shot!
If he hadn't remained calm under pressure, given proper command, and hadn't used some minor spells from his inherited knowledge, he probably would have been finished right then and there.

Now, as long as we shake off these dozen or so pursuers and rejoin our own people, we've won. The Ito Group at the base definitely can't withstand such an attack. Besides, these guys dared to use guns this time, and they even have shotguns. They're finished!

In Japan, using guns is a completely different matter; it's another achievement. I wonder how many merits I'll get if I go undercover and go back...

But then another thought struck him: could that bunch of completely undisciplined bastards really break through the Itō Group's defenses...?

No, I have to get back to take command right away!
He felt a surge of strength welling up inside him, and just as he was about to go out, he saw three people huddled together beside him, trembling and watching him.

A couple huddled together, and a female student squatting there with her head down, completely out of sight.

Kikukawa Reiji glanced at the mess on the ground, a knowing look flashing in her eyes. She walked over to the couple, who were looking at her in horror, squatted down, stuffed the things back into her backpack, and then threw it at the boy's head. "Baka! Don't do this kind of thing in the street!"

He kicked the girl again, yelling, "Aren't you going to leave? It's not safe here!"

"And you! Get out of here!"

He spoke the last sentence to the girl who was crouching with her head down. After saying that, Kikukawa Reiji ran out and quickly rejoined the people who were following him, continuing their search for the Ito Group's headquarters.

At the street corner, the couple looked at each other in bewilderment, then hurriedly grabbed their belongings and ran, seemingly preparing to flee back to Izu Oshima overnight.

The videotape was naturally also stuffed in.

Only after the couple left did Kayako slightly raise her head, cautiously observing her surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

"So scary, so scary, so scary..."

Glistening tears glistened at the corners of her eyes.

Kayako murmured to himself.

She hunched over and took a hardened konpeito from the side, placed it in her palm, and took deep breaths.

She gradually stood up, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and continued walking towards school.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, a black cat appeared, jumped onto the wall, stared at Kayako, and reflected Kayako's image in its vertical pupils.

at this time.

The dark, heavy clouds in the sky quickly began to dissipate, revealing white clouds and warm, golden sunlight.

The light shone on Kayako, but brought her no light at all.

The black cat's two pupils displayed completely different images.

In her left pupil, Kayako's face was horribly pale, as if she had lost her body temperature. Beside her, there were two corpses that appeared to be a couple, hanging high up, their faces filled with terror.

In her right pupil, she saw Kayako walking to school in the sunlight. Although the sunlight wasn't very warm, her complexion remained normal, though she was walking a little shakily.

Two pupils, two different images.

Only after Kayako's figure disappeared did the black cat jump down from the wall and follow in her direction.

In rumors.

The black cat has eyes that can see the fate of special people.

These two completely different scenes may represent the forks in the road of fate.

……

at the same time.

Although the unusual celestial phenomenon in Suginami Ward had dissipated by then, it still attracted the attention of many people.

Especially those on the mystical side.

A considerable number of people with divination abilities seem to have sensed something terrifying and have taken all sorts of unusual actions.

The shrine maiden is screaming, the monk's prayer beads are shattering, and the Onmyoji are spitting out black blood...

"Big bad news! Big bad news!"

"The Ghost King! The legendary Ghost King!"

“Ominous, dark, and desperate—one, no, perhaps two, terrifying beings have appeared in Tokyo.”

"That's something capable of destroying all of Tokyo..."

"..."

All fortune tellers say that.

In their words, it was mentioned that the power of what appeared to be two demon kings appeared in Suginami Ward, Tokyo, and that the unusual celestial phenomenon just now was filled with two dark and insane wills.

Any one of them is a demon king level capable of causing great chaos in this era!

If not handled properly, endless death is almost a foreseeable future.

The strange movements of the Mystic Cult quickly reached the Japanese government. The Japanese upper echelons finally reacted quickly to this terrifying force appearing in Tokyo, perhaps because the matter of the Anti-Magic Division, which had been without a result for a long time, had finally made some progress.

In short, they gathered a group of mystery enthusiasts in Tokyo to discuss countermeasures and tended to form a team to resolve the matter.

If this team performs well this time, the establishment of the Magic Exams Department should be a natural progression.

And in this rally.

Another call went outside.

A cool-faced woman with eyes as calm as still water and an aura of confidence answered the phone.

"Makoto."

"...What? The Ghost King?"

A hint of surprise flickered in the woman's usually calm eyes. She was genuinely surprised that a Ghost King could be born in this era; this was not something ordinary people could handle.

That's already a realm close to that of God.

Even a powerful spiritual medium like her couldn't get close to this realm.

is this real?
Although the person on the other end of the phone was my younger sister, she had never been very reliable, and was often rebellious, so...

"Okay, I understand. I've completed the task and am on my way back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

A look of weariness flashed across his face.

As the number one medium in Japan and the strongest person in the open on the mysterious side, Kotoko Higa has been walking on the most dangerous front line in the fight against the supernatural for many years.

I never imagined that even the rear would be in turmoil now. Those fools clinging to the old ways can't even handle something like this. Sigh...

I hope I can get back in time.

……

Meanwhile, the mysterious forces in Tokyo made a move, all of them simultaneously accelerating the construction of Louis's nameless shrine, and even investing a large sum of money into it.

Obviously.

This is a two-pronged approach.

The Ghost King should be dealt with by a true god; they are just a bunch of mortals.

If Higa Kotoko, or the people who have gathered together, cannot do it, then they can only pray for the power of the gods.

At this moment, they were even relieved by the arrival of Louis, this unknown deity.

For a while.

In Minato Ward, Tokyo, in a prime location, even before the shrine was completed, a large number of people who had been pre-arranged were already kneeling and praying in front of it to create momentum for its construction.

In other words, Louis hasn't mentioned the name of the god or anything like that yet; otherwise, he would most likely have already started praising it extensively by now.

Naturally, everything that happened here was reported to Louis by the staff of Cano International's branch office in this region.

Louis paused briefly in the air to learn what was happening before continuing his flight towards Tokyo at the same speed.

No matter what happened, he had to get to Tokyo first.

at the same time.

Just as everyone was doing their own thing.

A young couple, terrified by the chaotic battle between yakuza groups and eager to return to their hometown, encounter another unexpected event.

The young couple looked at each other, bewildered.

"How did we end up here?"

"Where is this?"
