Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 291 The Curse of Making a Mistake Reappears

Upon hearing this, the trace of pity in Higa Kotoko's eyes vanished instantly.

She looked at her younger sister and her soon-to-be brother-in-law.

"You two really are a couple."

"madness!"

Snapped!
With his well-defined knuckles, he swung his hand out again, slapping his sister and Nozaki across the face with surprising force, sending them tumbling to the ground.

She took a deep breath.

He glanced back at what was behind him.

There, at the ritual site where a battle was taking place, Chisa was one of the main bodies of the Po-Xu Demon, while the other clones were attacking other exorcists and disrupting the ritual.

Faced with the attack of the Soul Demon, even if it was just a split body, they found it very difficult to fight back. They coughed up blood, lost their lifespan, and destroyed their weapons. A large number of them would probably not be able to become exorcists after returning. Moreover, if one of the main bodies had not been trapped here, they would probably have suffered heavy casualties by now.

So you're saying this was just a child's prank?
"Makoto, your heart is in turmoil."

Having said that, she ignored the two people who tried to get up and stop her, and began to take out a bronze mirror from her side robe. She shone the mirror on Zhisha lying on the ground while chanting a spell.

As the incantation was chanted, the bronze mirror suddenly reflected Zhi Sha's figure, and at that moment, Zhi Sha became unable to move.

Ahhhhh~

Wuwuwu——

A sharp, childlike cry rang out, and Zhi Sha's figure in the bronze mirror suddenly became transparent. Layers of clothing, skin, and flesh were peeled away to reveal the stark white bones beneath, and... a black soul, overlapping with Zhi Sha's soul, appearing and disappearing, its face constantly changing, resembling that of a child.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"

The moment she was exposed to the light, Chisa burst into tears, finally behaving like a normal child.

Fear, terror, and incomprehension.

She didn't understand why she couldn't move when this scary-looking older sister took out a mirror, and it hurt so much, it really hurt...

Mountain! Where are you?
Help.

"Chisa! Chisa!"

Upon hearing the crying, Makoto Higa became agitated and tried to rush over in fear, but Nozaki, her companion, went first, attempting to snatch the bronze mirror.

Higa Kotoko held the bronze mirror, her upper body unable to move.

Are you really going to do this?

"Even her parents haven't come to stop me, so what right do you have to stop me?"

Not far away, Hideki and Kana, supporting each other, turned their heads slightly away upon seeing this.

“I know what you mean, but she’s really just a child who doesn’t understand anything and has such parents. It’s not her fault. Give her a chance, whether it’s sealing or some other method, it should work.”

Kotoko Higa shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Kotoko."

With a swollen face, Nozaki apologized and reached out to take the bronze mirror.

"Ugh."

Call ~
A puff of smoke escaped from Higa Kotoko's mouth, and with just a sweep, both of them collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.

She didn't want to hurt herself, but it seemed she had no choice.

As for the child...

Looking at the soul that was already deeply bound to the Po-Xu Demon, and its values ​​that had been affected and distorted, Higa Kotoko increased the speed of her chanting.

She has never lacked the resolve to be ruthless, and besides, this is only one of the main bodies of the Soul Demon. If she doesn't kill it, how can she make the Soul Demon's spiritual realm manifest!

"Sister! No!!"

Accompanied by Makoto Higa's piercing screams.

Boom! !

Thunder rumbled in the sky, the weather changed drastically, and dark clouds began to pile up at an extremely fast speed, completely obscuring the sky.

Meanwhile, the green light emitted from the countless cracks on the ground appeared minuscule under the celestial phenomenon.

For the first time, Higa Kotoko's expression changed drastically; tension appeared on her usually calm and composed face, and her brows furrowed.

She looked at the green light on the ground that represented the Po-Xu Demon's spiritual realm, and then at the strange black cloud phenomenon in the sky that she didn't know what it represented, but was definitely more terrifying than the Po-Xu Demon. Her expression was solemn. "This is troublesome."

I'm afraid we'll have to fight tooth and nail.

Just as she was thinking this.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A piercing scream suddenly came from underground.

The screams were the innocent voices of children, with different timbres, layered upon each other, the only common point being the pain contained within them.

Subsequently.

Strands of black hair, as agile as octopus tentacles, actually emerged from the cracks in the green-glowing ground, spreading out like weeds.

"The God of Radiant Light, the God of Supreme Sun, by the decree of Amaterasu, the Sun..."

Higa Kotoko bit her finger and traced lines on the bronze mirror. The mirror immediately shone brightly, emitting intense energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

In fact, this was already one of her trump cards, originally intended for the Soul Demon's main body and the Spirit Realm, but she didn't expect to use it here.

Even so, Higa Kotoko's expression remained serious; she was not confident.

"Jinzi!"

She suddenly shouted.

The one-eyed old woman who was fighting the split-off Po-Xu Demon in the corner immediately understood. She gritted her teeth, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to chant blessing incantations.

Simultaneously.

Those exorcists who still had energy also began to sit cross-legged on the ground, chanting blessing incantations in the voice of the old woman.

"Namo A..."

The layers of golden light and the magic array on the ground began to work, reflecting each other and starting to burn the black hair that was still growing wildly like tentacles over a large area.

Flames, black smoke, stench...

It was as if they had been provoked.

Boom! !

The clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker.

next second.

boom!
One exorcist suddenly exploded, scattering red and green limbs and dismembered parts across a large area. Then, one more, two more, three more, the speed increasing...

The golden light was gradually dimming.

Faced with this ominous will that is as deep as an abyss, even the combined power of hundreds of exorcists from various fields seems utterly powerless.

At that moment, everyone felt a sense of despair.

They trembled all over, yet their voices grew louder and louder. Some, to avoid being overwhelmed by fear, closed their eyes and awaited their fate, while others stared intently, each recitation filled with rage…

Even Kotoko Higa showed a hint of determination at this moment.

Give it your all!

She suddenly flipped the bronze mirror in her hand, which was already extremely hot and even made her hands smell like meat, and shone it on her black hair.

If that doesn't work, then she'll have no choice but to try her last resort: mutual destruction.

But at this moment.

"Hang in there." A clear voice, which did not travel through the air, suddenly appeared in her ears.

Higa Kotoko was taken aback.

Before she could react, her wildly growing black hair suddenly stopped and became completely still.

Higa Kotoko couldn't understand what was going on. It seemed that some being was dealing with this ominous black-haired creature.
That being the case...

The bronze mirror flipped again, and beams of golden light shone down, protecting everyone.

Then, Higa Kotoko wet her fingers and wiped her eyes. A faint purple hue flashed in her eyes, and when she opened them again, she could see the source of this power.

But with just one glance, Kotoko Higa's expression crumbled.

……

When Higa Kotoko discovered that one of the true forms of the Soul Demon was in the little girl Chisa, Louis also sensed it, but he had the same thought as Higa Kotoko.

He was also very interested in the spiritual realm that the Po-Xu Demon called "Mountain".

Legend has it that the "mountain" is the place that absorbs all missing children, abused children, and aborted babies. It is also here that the Po-Xu demon was born, and this place is equivalent to its base camp.

If the "mountain" is sealed or even destroyed, even if this era is filled with materialism, family discord, and a sharp increase in miscarriages, the speed at which the Po-Xu demon is reborn will be greatly reduced. Although this is not a permanent solution, it can be considered the best effort made.

This is why Higa Kotoko made such a big show of it.

Simply exorcising the Soul Demon or killing one of its original forms would not be difficult for her; there was no need for such a complicated procedure.

Her thoughts were completely exposed to Louis, who was watching the whole thing from above.

"This guy is pretty good; he certainly lives up to his reputation as number one."

After watching for a while, Louis, who had witnessed Higa Kotoko's appeal and foresight, murmured.

Carrie, standing beside him, nodded. "That's really good. Is Louis looking to hire an employee?"

“Hmm, but not as an employee. What do you think about the top spiritual medium in Japan becoming the priest of my shrine?” Louis’s lips curled up slightly.

“That would be wonderful,” Carrie agreed.

In her view, Louis's shrine naturally needs to recruit a capable person to be its manager, especially since this manager would be in charge of all affairs in Japan, holding a high position and representing Louis's reputation.

Strength, image, ability—everything must be outstanding!

Now it seems that Kotoko Higa is a perfect fit.

"Okay, we'll recruit them in a bit. For now, let's wait a bit."

Louis vanished in a flash, leaving only a telepathic message: "Keep an eye on Sadako, keep a safe distance, I'll be right back."

Carrie was stunned. She looked up and saw the sudden change in the sky, and immediately understood.

"Kayako, how could something have happened to her all of a sudden..."

Beside her, Sadako, who always had her big, dreamy eyes open and looked adorably silly, suddenly saw a white figure with disheveled hair appear in the depths of her eyes, which vanished in a flash.

Louis had already followed the extension of the black hair to Kayako's residence.

it's here.

Clusters of black mist, invisible to the naked eye, have enveloped the entire residence, corrupting it and transforming it into a peculiar building imbued with resentment and curse.

Louis was engulfed in intense golden flames, the fire of the Yang God containing Louis's will burning fiercely.

This represents the power of spiritual foundation and willpower.

It is also a force that restrains forces such as misfortune, mental invasion, and curses.

With Louis's cultivation level, once it was ignited, it was as hot and bright as a small sun, as if illuminating the whole world!

Snap, snap—

They walked into the haunted house that would later be known as the Grudge, with unhurried steps.

squeak-

The door made an unpleasant scraping sound.

As soon as Louis entered, he saw the caterpillar corpses that stretched from the doorway all the way up the stairs, along with bloody handprints.

Seeing this, Louis immediately understood who was responsible for the accident. His eyes flashed, and he sighed.

"I see. No wonder I had arranged everything perfectly, even monitoring her parents to prevent them from dying in a car accident, yet an accident still happened."

"Foolish Po-Xiu Demon!"

The Po-Xiu-Mo is attracted to things like family discord, abused children, and aborted babies. In addition, the Po-Xiu-Mo just released a lot of power to stop the summoned exorcists.

Naturally, the Pokémon's clone was attracted to Kayako, who had a troubled family.

then……

Click.

Suddenly, a wooden floorboard in the room collapsed, followed by a piercing scream from a child.

Before Louis's eyes.

Appearing in the form of a child, the semi-transparent Po-Xu Demon with its blurred and ever-changing face looked as if it had been captured by some terrifying being. As a demon, it was completely powerless to resist, like a little chick, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Thigh, calf, fingers, nails, bones, muscles, blood vessels, blood, hair, scalp, tongue, eyes...

They were all meticulously divided and separated.

It was a surgery so exquisite it could be called an art!
But this isn't the end. The curse extends; the Po-Xu Demon's clones are connected to its main body, so...

boom!
As these fragmented limbs dissipated, everything returned to silence.

Louis did not stop and continued walking upstairs.

The ominous black aura surrounding Louis, which was enough to drive ordinary people insane and cause ordinary exorcists to hallucinate, was completely resisted by the burning of the Yang God's flames and had no effect on him whatsoever.

In front of Kayako's room.

Two bloody handprints were still imprinted on the door, and the ground was covered with the corpses of caterpillars.

Click.

Louis opened the door and went inside.

In the darkness, a crack shimmered with green light; it was an entrance resembling a spatial rift.

"This resentment and aura... it's the 'mountain' of the Po-Xu demon. It seems that Kayako has transformed into a curse to chase after and kill it."

At this moment, Louis had already decided whether Kayako was still alive. If so, then Kayako, now a demon, was more of a collection of curses, possessing a mind but little emotion, and perhaps even more extreme.

Otherwise, the original work wouldn't have cruelly killed the object of his unrequited love who hadn't done anything wrong and was merely frightened.

and so.

If Kayako truly transformed into a cursed being.

Then let's prepare for a fight.

A fighting spirit flashed in Louis's eyes. According to his calculations, Ju-on would be an extremely special demon king, whose strength should be at the level of a great demon, but whose methods were special and would be very difficult to kill. It might even be able to contend with a demon god-level being...

Perhaps this will be the strongest opponent he has ever faced.

Look at the green crack.

Louis stepped on it and vanished instantly.

After Louis entered, the house, shrouded in an ominous aura and constantly transforming into a cursed house, suddenly stopped changing, as if it had been obstructed by something.

"Meow~"

A black cat emerged from the corner of the room, its limbs trembling and appearing somewhat weak. When it looked at the crack, its vertical pupils were filled with anticipation.
