Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 322 The Boring Truth: Hell's Famous Person
The crowded room was filled with a jumble of emotions.

Men and women dressed in various styles all looked terrified, their mouths agape but unable to utter a sound, as if some force had blocked the transmission of sound through the air.

Not only that, they could only move their bodies slightly and were unable to make any movements such as running away.

Looking at this group of people who resembled pitiful animals trapped in a sheepfold, Louis clapped his hands.

clap clap clap!
Attracted everyone's attention.

“I am a traveler and I am very happy to meet you all in Mexico. To be honest, I have longed to come to Mexico since I was a child, especially to meet you all.”

Louis said with a smile.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin the interrogation."

Hear the words.

Everyone in the room felt a mix of relief and unease. They felt heavy-hearted because they were certain that the person in front of them had kidnapped them using some kind of magical method, and relieved because the interrogation proved that the other party could communicate.

Moreover, interrogations are mostly conducted because one of them has broken some taboo. As long as they cooperate honestly, they might have a chance to survive. They are very familiar with this because they often work part-time as kidnappers. How could they not be familiar with the process?

but--

boom!
A soft popping sound rang out, like firecrackers being placed in a jar during the Lunar New Year—loud yet muffled.

Bang!

A short, dark-skinned woman collapsed, outwardly unharmed, the only unusual thing being that blood was flowing from her seven orifices, along with white cerebrospinal fluid or brain matter.

Before they could even panic, bang bang bang—

The firecrackers for Chinese New Year have really gone off!
Crackling, crackling, crackling...

When the sound stopped, nearly a minute had passed, and the entire room was stained with blood, just like those small-scale slaughterhouses!
The only difference is that the pigs squeal when they are slaughtered, and it takes a lot of effort to control them. Here, it's just a matter of setting off firecrackers.

Louis, still spotless, stood on the only clean platform, looking at the bloody scene, and gently pushed and pulled with his hand.

As the crimson bead was launched, a bright crimson light flashed, and the blood in the arena flowed like a river, slowly merging into the Blood River Bead.

Countless souls were drawn in, and the nascent souls, shimmering with a faint light, flew into Louis's palm like fledglings returning to their nests, even though their expressions were filled with terror and they kept screaming and shouting!
While continuing to search the soul of a wisp of Galex, they also searched the souls of the leaders and executives of these addictive groups.

Do it all.

Louis stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the Blood River Pearl absorb blood. Although human blood was not as high quality as the blood of powerful demons and monsters, on average, human blood was already a fairly high-quality material.

After all, with a large population, intelligence, and weak combat power, human blood offers the best value for money.

Combined with the monster collection operation that the Cano Group had been carrying out, both high-grade and low-grade blood were now available.

Now, the Blood River Pearl has enough foundation to be ready for an upgrade.

After draining all the blood from these people.

The Blood River Pearl floated in mid-air and spun around, its crimson light flickering and changing.

Louis could sense a transformation taking place within him.

But this time.

The results of the soul search are also in.

The memories of the drug dealers came out first. Yes, even if the first thing searched was the soul of a demon, which was just a wisp of a disconnected spirit, the first results were still obtained from the souls of mortals.

Louis condensed and compressed the memories of ordinary people into a book of memories. After flipping through it briefly, he accurately located the time points and quickly found the events of that year.

As the truth was revealed, Louis's expression changed slightly.

"How could this happen? What bad luck!"

Similar to what my grandfather discovered years ago, this group attempted to expand their trafficking channels and set their sights on the Cano family, who then dominated the Miami underground market.

At that time, the American government had just passed a law targeting gangs, and large gangs had to shrink back or even cut their losses to survive. Although the Cano family survived, they were also affected, and people were in a state of panic.

It is relatively close to Mexico and is a large city. Although it is powerful, it is not invincible. The government will not interfere and may even encourage it. For all these reasons, there is no better target than the Cano family.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, they contacted a mole within the Cano family, kidnapped him, and planned to use this to negotiate with the family before ambushing and capturing him all.

However, due to internal discord, orders were not unified, and ultimately, his subordinates, driven by greed, sold Louis to human traffickers in a way that was essentially a waste of his possessions. After changing hands several times, Louis ended up at Emilia's manor.

As for the traitor within the family.

They were neither blood relatives nor fellow villagers, but rather highly educated individuals whom Karl recruited from outside in order to whitewash his image and implement reforms, emulating the managerial systems employed by capitalists.

Despite the high salaries, with morale so low, who would remain loyal to a gang?

They are college graduates, seasoned professionals who have been through the trials of the market; they are only loyal to money!
Under these circumstances, betraying the Cano family became inevitable.

Louis was somewhat disheartened upon learning the full truth.

He originally thought there might be some other secrets behind it, but he didn't expect it to be just due to the times, policies, and a little bit of bad luck.

That's true. There aren't that many conspiracies in this world. Most of the time, they're just coincidences that arise from interactions between people.

Having figured this out, Louis blinked.

All the souls were swallowed up in an instant and fed to the five elemental demons within the body, accompanied by invisible screams as they feasted.

The souls that were devoured had absolutely no chance of reincarnation, which could be considered Louis's revenge on them.

Louis, having turned the page on this matter, suddenly felt a sinking sensation as he experienced another book of memories that he had just obtained through soul searching.

The mind search of the demon Galex is complete.

Because there was only a wisp of disconnected spirit, the resulting Book of Memories was incomplete and very thin.

The pale purple book, with only five or six pages, floated up and down.

Wow!
Louis finished reading it in an instant.

His expression turned strange.

I was both amused and exasperated, but also deeply frustrated and speechless.

"Heh, sure enough."

This incomplete book of memories contains roughly the answers to Louis's previous questions.

It was indeed under the command of the Gluttonous Demon King, but that was nothing. In the Demon King's eyes, only those pseudo-Demon Kings and Demon Gods had a place, serving as legion commanders or deputy commanders. As for the Great Demons and Demons below them?

It makes no difference.

Treat them all the same; they are all consumables.

Therefore, even though it worked its way up to the position of deputy legion commander, it still didn't rank much in the Demon King's eyes.

In order to increase its strength and advance towards becoming a demon god, it chose to align itself with the greedy demon king Mammon, because Mammon had a grand plan and had been secretly recruiting ambitious demons.

Make a promise to them, and you will be rewarded if you go into the mortal world and lie in wait for its arrival. If you can help it arrive, you will be even more generously rewarded.

Many restless demons chose to give it a try.

This is why Louis encountered so many demons before, and why the Pope said that darkness was returning. In fact, there are even more demons in Hell who want to descend to the mortal world, but they just lack the means and opportunities.

Everything is because Mammon wanted to descend into the world!

What has happened so far is merely the prelude.

In addition, this gluttonous demon possesses the Truth or Dare ability, a special ability it gained after devouring an alien demon. It was with the help of this ability that it was able to sit in the position of vice legion commander with the strength of an ordinary great demon.

This also allows us to learn some information from higher-ups and the underlying reasons, such as...

Louis truly gained notoriety in Hell, and considerable notoriety at that. All this was thanks to Valak, the Demon of True Knowledge, who had previously attempted to descend to Earth twice, but failed both times for various reasons.

And they all retreated extremely quickly.

This had already made the other demons in Hell somewhat laugh at it, but unexpectedly, Valak came again in such a short time!
This time, Valack became a complete laughingstock.

Within upper circles, Valack's name was even synonymous with incompetence.

Out of malice towards his colleagues, and to better mock Valak, an unknown demon leaked all the information, revealing everything that happened during Valak's third incarnation.

As Valac became a laughingstock, Louis, the main perpetrator, also gained notoriety in the upper echelons of hell.

Surprised that a god-like being could still exist in reality, they created a name for him—the God of Fire.

As a result, Louis also received the title of Fire God Priest.

In this situation, these demons who want to descend into the world to seek progress must remember Louis's name and characteristics.
So that you won't be unaware of it when you encounter it someday.

Louis's expression was subtle.

He guessed correctly.

Because of Valak's repeated failures, he became famous in Hell, to the point that ordinary demons who wanted to descend were afraid of him and would even actively remember his information.

But is this a good thing?

No!

Because the Book of Fragments describes the boundless hatred that the enraged Valak harbors for him, Valak has now put a bounty on his head for any demon that descends upon the mortal realm who can provide information about Louis.

It is willing to pay the price for it.

Infusion of magic, high demon rank, demon god-level magic, special weapons...

Not only that.

In addition to Vallaq, bounties have been increased for Berete, Agares, Impos, Bar, Astaroth, and others.

Keep in mind, these are all Demon God level beings!
Moreover, they are among the best of the demon gods, and there are even pseudo-demon kings among them!

Although these powerful figures only increased the bounty a little, it was enough to make Louis a big name in Hell.

Any demon who encounters Louis, given the chance, will absolutely report it to Valac!

"Damn, is it really necessary? When did the guys from Hell become this united? This isn't demonic at all," Louis couldn't help but curse.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Valak was some kind of demon king; all these demons are just his lackeys.

Louis couldn't understand why.

How did I become the most famous person in hell?

In addition, there is bad news.

Galex has most likely already sent his message back to Hell.

Think of this.

"Valak, you wait! Once I break through to the Nascent Soul Realm or ascend to godhood, I'll find a hell passage, go down there, turn you into a fried dough stick, and eat you!"

Louis said bitterly.

Take a deep breath.

The magical power circulated within his body, gradually calming him down.

"Fortunately, there is a barrier between hell and the mortal world, so I still have time."

"But that Galexus, he devoured an Otherworldly being and gained special abilities. He also found a one-time Hell Rift and came following the nun's summons..."

Louis narrowed his eyes.

Louis, having obtained the Book of Gallax's Fragmented Memories, naturally knew where the church was, but knowing it was useless.

The other party can back down at any time.

They couldn't even catch the other person.

So, you might as well go fishing...

Louis planned to assign someone to monitor the area, then pretend he knew nothing about it and wait for the guy to break free.

After all, it didn't know it could search souls.

This strategy should work.

After reading through the entire Book of Memories and making a decision,

Louis couldn't help but sigh, "What's going on here?"

"Damn Valak!"

At this time.

The dazzling red light emitted a massive amount of light, like a red sun, so much so that even Louis felt a little dazzled.

The walls of the entire room began to melt away rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire top floor was gone, along with the floor below it.

The deep red light, now unobstructed, was released completely.

At that moment, it transformed into a blood-red sun, illuminating the entire city of Juarez!
"My God!"

"Oh, God!"

"A blood-red sun, this must mean the end of the world is coming."

"Yes, that's right. Do you know about the Mayan prophecy? They predicted that the world would end in 2012! This might be a harbinger, or it might be coming sooner than expected."

"Oh my God! This can't be real!"

"Heh, a bunch of idiots. So what if the world is destroyed? It's not my world anyway. You'd be better off selling me more goods instead."

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"I am God! Hahahaha—"

After a brief moment of shock, the entire city of Juarez descended into utter chaos as the red light gradually faded, even escalating into a riot.

After all, this city has never really had any order.

Crime is rampant: drug use, brawling, rape, murder, bullying...

In addition, there is a complete lack of education and cultural literacy, and official institutions that are practically nonexistent.

With all these debuffs combined, a single celestial event can cause the collapse of order.

Meanwhile, Emma, ​​who had just finished an open-air barbecue concert in a certain community, looked up at the sky and felt the violently fluctuating magical power within it.

He frowned.

"Louis?"

He immediately put away the coiling serpent of flames, along with his uncontrollable inner energy and gradually condensing soul, and headed towards the location of the red light.

With her departure.

A strange smell, a mixture of burnt and roasted meat odor, began to spread throughout the community.
