Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 286 Sadako Yamamura Shrine
Then, the black hair began to stretch and grow, pulling the girl to her feet. Once she was standing, she stopped moving and stared at Louis and Carrie with her large, clear black and white eyes.

Until this moment, she behaved no differently than someone with intellectual disabilities.

But regardless of whether she is mentally disabled or not, she is a dangerous person, or rather, she becomes even more dangerous precisely because she may be mentally disabled.

It's like the nuclear button being controlled by a shrewd person versus a brainless idiot—which one would be more feared?

Of course, this had nothing to do with Louis; the danger posed by the other party was far from reaching the level of a nuclear bomb for him.

However, Louis was very curious about the other party's condition. Born from a cocoon and possessing great power, which movie character was this?
Or is it some kind of monster native to Japan?

"Help, help!"

At that moment, the girl made a sound, but it was only one word.

Louis remained silent. Carrie stepped forward and began to slowly release her psychic power, making contact with the energy swirling around the girl.

The girl's power recoiled at the slightest touch, indicating her wariness, but Carrie's power was not hostile; it was more about communication.

The spiritual forces of the two began to subtly interact.

Accompanied by touch.

The girl's expression changed slightly; she tilted her head slightly, looked at Carrie, and showed a hint of affection.

In contrast, Carrie's face turned deathly pale in an instant, as if she had just witnessed something that stimulated her senses.

After a while.

Carrie closed her eyes, then opened them, severing her connection with the girl.

"hu~hu~"

"what happened?"

"The memories are fragmented, but some basic information is still known. Her name is Sadako Yamamura. She has always lived on Izu Oshima Island. Her mother had special abilities, which she inherited. Her family was unhappy, her parents divorced, and her memories became even more fragmented. She can only vaguely see her mother's death. Later in her life, she exposed her superpowers and was forced to kill someone under threat."

"Then……"

At this point, Carrie's expression became complicated, and her eyes showed pity.

It's rare to be pitied by Carrie now. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the two communicate through spirit, which can convey images, information, and emotions more accurately than language.

"Then her father injected her with the virus and pushed her into a well. She lived in despair in the well for thirty years and is still alive to this day."

Carrie couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be for a young girl to be pushed into a well by her own father and live in despair for thirty years in the dark and damp well.

Ordinary people can't even endure seven days in a small, dark room, let alone decades of confinement and darkness.

At this point, Sadako also had other reactions.

"save."

"well."

"I."

Clearly, the meaning is obvious: they want their help to save their lives.

but……

Louis gently placed his hand on Carrie's shoulder to calm her down, while his gaze toward Sadako was somewhat indifferent.

Louis already knew the whole story from the moment Carrie uttered that name.

After all, that movie was quite famous.

Sadako Yamamura, from the movie "Ring," is different from normal ghosts. She had superpowers in life, such as telekinesis, the ability to see ghosts, and the ability to heal injuries.

The source of this superpower is inherited from her mother, but she is far stronger than her mother, and the potential of this power is far more than that, after she was pushed into the well by her father.

This power not only sustained her for over thirty years, but also mutated in her deep despair, tempering her will and giving birth to even greater power, resulting in additional abilities such as the ability to foresee the future, teleport, distort reality, and even mutate the virus within her body into an information virus (a special curse) that can spread online.

Of course, this inherited power is not without its side effects.

From a young age, Sadako had another personality inside her. As she grew up, her experiences and mental state caused that personality to become a negative one. It was this negative personality that caused her to uncontrollably harm others, leading to her exposure and ultimately being pushed into a well by her father.

It can be said that Sadako's fate of being confined to a dark room for over thirty years was largely due to this negative personality trait.

Moreover, the final outcome also shows that this personality coveted sovereignty. The negative personality won, and its more than 30 years of life at the bottom of the well killed the positive personality. The negative personality won a great victory and became a meme virus that roamed the internet, a terrifying ghost king that could easily kill countless people.

Now, if this girl is indeed Sadako Yamamura, would she really be so pure?

Or……

“Sadako Yamamura, I know where your true form is. I can come and save you.”

Hear the words.

Sadako Yamamura nodded, without any intention of thanking her, or perhaps she had lost this common sense?

Louis found the other person's state increasingly amusing.

Then, after a brief inquiry.

It's basically just some basic logic test questions.

In the end, it was discovered that Sadako wasn't pretending to be stupid; she was genuinely brain-dead!

Or rather, prolonged mental breakdowns have led to mental health issues, a precarious personality, and in a sense, infantilization.

After a while.

Carrie found a white robe, and Louis transformed it into a semi-magical artifact, then inscribed a formation on it that served both as a warning and a sealing function.

Carrie dressed Sadako, and the psychic power surrounding Sadako was successfully suppressed, only circling around her.

Louis then walked ahead, with Carrie following behind, teaching Sadako some basic knowledge along the way.

After one hour.

After strolling through the streets and seeing some people and things, the three returned to the villa.

During this time, Louis kept observing Sadako and recording her mental fluctuations, and found that her mental state became slightly more active as she moved around.

Carrie and Sadako's relationship also became very friendly. Sadako had a strong learning ability and had already understood some basic things. She timidly followed behind Carrie, looking around.

"Louis, she seems to be recovering?"

Carrie looked at Sadako, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, observing her surroundings slightly, her eyes no longer as empty and blank as before, and said this.

"Hmm, I have a guess, but I can't be sure until I actually see Sadako at the bottom of the well. If it's really what I think, then Sadako isn't uncontrollable."

Information viruses and internet memes—the power of this ability is beyond doubt. Especially with the future development of the internet, Sadako, who can wipe out more than half of the world's population at any time, could easily become the god of the internet!
As for other abilities like reality distortion, future prediction, and teleportation, while they are powerful, they are nothing special to Louis and are far less important than the information virus ability.

“However, if she gets out of control, she can only be used as valuable material, Carrie.”

"Yes, I know."

Carrie nodded; she understood why Louis had said that.

But thinking of the profound despair he felt during their mental exchange, he couldn't help but say, "I believe I can teach her to be one of ours."

Louis remained noncommittal.

"Okay, I'm going to get something now. Keep an eye on her."

"Ah."

He had noticed the anomaly of the Yakumo no Kano statue before, and thought the perpetrator was some monster from Yakumo no Kano's era, eyeing this trophy. He never expected it to be Sadako Yamamura. But why would Sadako Yamamura react to this statue?

These things weren't mentioned in the movie from my previous life. (I watched an edited version, and there were some discrepancies.)

There was no point in guessing; Louis simply took the statue down from the second floor.

As soon as I brought it over.

Sadako Yamamura's expression changed, and she opened her mouth slightly, like a starving person who had seen food. She ran over, but was stopped by Carrie using her telekinesis.

"Stop! Sadako! Stop!"

Carrie shouted at them.

Sadako ignored everything and kept rushing forward, even the seals on her clothes began to swell.

Louis's face turned cold.

"Humph!"

A cold snort.

The power of the Yang God covered the area, instantly reinforcing the seal and even pinning Sadako Yamamura to the ground, rendering her unable to move.

Carrie stepped forward and stomped hard on Sadako's foot as a way of venting her anger.

“Alright, isn’t this what toddlers lacking common sense are like? They follow their animal instincts and act on their instincts. As long as you take it slow, you can still teach them well, um, probably.” As he said the last sentence, Louis pursed his lips and looked at Carrie.

Carrie blushed and angrily stomped on Sadako's foot again.

"Well!"

Sadako finally realized what was happening, her eyes darting around as she looked at Carrie with a wronged expression.

Well, it seems she doesn't think she did anything wrong, and even feels wronged because Carrie stepped on her feet twice.

As for why he didn't dare to look at Louis?

Yes, even toddlers know to seek advantage and avoid harm, and to bully the weak and fear the strong...

Shaking his head, Louis began to carefully examine the connection between the statue and Sadako, and between these two forces.

Forcibly cut off a portion of Sadako's psychic power and placed it in front of the statue.

Whoosh!
The two merged instantly, or rather, one actively absorbed the other, and the other actively sought refuge; it was a two-way journey.

As this portion of mental energy was integrated, the two already flowing forces within the statue became slightly more active for a fleeting moment.

Louis' eyes lit up.

"They all come from the same source, so that's how it is!"

If Louis is not mistaken, the source of Sadako Yamamura's power is closely related to En no Ozunu.

"In that case, it's definitely necessary to make a trip to Izu Oshima."

"But we need to collect the tribute first, and also take care of the grand formation."

There are priorities. No matter how important the SSR card Sadako Yamamura is, it is not as important as Louis's own cultivation.

The reason Louis is still in Japan is because of the grand formation, the offerings, and the shrines; these are his main targets going forward.

However, things seemed to go much more smoothly than Louis had imagined.

……

The next day.

There was no need for Louis to deliberately promote it.

Someone automatically handed over a visiting card, and surprisingly, the one at the front of the line was Matsushita Shinnosuke.

At this moment, Matsushita Shinnosuke was even more respectful than when they first met. As soon as he entered, he immediately bowed deeply, completely following the attitude and etiquette towards gods.

To be honest, even now, Shinnosuke Matsushita still feels like he's in a dream.

I knew this person was extraordinary, but I never imagined they were this extraordinary!

A living god!
Although he wasn't quite clear on the definition of gods in the mystical divination, Matsushita Shinnosuke understood human nature.

Just by looking at the respectful attitude of the various families representing the mystical forces, he could understand how valuable this deity was.

Otherwise, why would they suddenly become so obsequious to him and add so many projects to the Matsushita family?
Now, the reason why we want him to apologize first and make contact with this person is because when this person first arrived, we were the ones who contacted him, arranged accommodation, and maintained a certain friendship, right?
At this moment, Matsushita Shinnosuke was incredibly grateful for the internal strife within his family; if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have had this opportunity at all!
This is the chance encounter in life!
Looking at Matsushita Shinnosuke, he said, "Shinnosuke, get up and sit down."

"I dare not; before Your Majesty, I am filled with trepidation."

Matsushita Shinnosuke dared not agree.

There's no way around it; he knows all too well that when a big shot is just being polite, you can't really take it seriously.
Then I'll tell him, "Hey! You're actually sitting here?"
That'll be a lot of fun.

Louis didn't insist. Carrie prepared the tea, and Louis picked it up and took a sip.

"How's the shrine construction going?"

"Return to your Majesty..."

Shinnosuke Matsushita's answer was fairly accurate.

After the Battle of Mount Fuji, those mystical forces have indeed become much more obedient and have put a lot of effort into the construction of the Louis Shrine.

It was built to the highest standards, covering a vast area, and the palaces and the level of luxury within were unimaginable. Theoretically, only a few great gods and temples could enjoy such a level of luxury.

"Please give your instructions regarding the shrine's name, the shrine maiden, and the chief priest."

Louis looked thoughtful.

He hadn't really thought much about what the shrine should be called. In fact, Louis hadn't even decided on the so-called name of the god. He had only created a sun god to serve as the terminal for the magic when he modified the Southeast Asian black magic.

There are also shrine maidens and priests. In Japan, shrine maidens are those who serve the gods, and priests are those who manage shrines. One manages most of the gods' affairs on earth, and the other is a close confidant of the gods.

In contrast, the chief priest usually holds a higher position and there is only one, while there can be multiple priestesses, and their positions are quite special.

Most priestesses are inferior to the chief priestess; only a few who have been possessed by or served gods hold a high position, comparable to the chief priestess.

Louis intends to make a good use of his time in Japan, hoping to cultivate his spiritual body in the future. Therefore, he is not going to take this lightly.

"These are things you don't need to worry about for now. I'll make arrangements once it's completed."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Matsushita Shinnosuke had no objections whatsoever and respectfully bowed his head in obeisance.

"I have something for you to do. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely."

Louis maintained his indifferent dignity and spoke as if mimicking the image in his mind.

Actually, I felt a little awkward inside.

What you said was too pretentious.

There is still a difference between gods and ordinary mortal beings in high positions.

But there's no way around it. It's my first time being a god, so my status is already set. Besides, these Japanese people have always been afraid of authority but not of virtue, so it's just right to keep them in check like this.
