Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 324 Hell's Diaphragm: The Red-Faced Demon
The story of the Black girl Quinn is actually quite simple, and Ellis has now figured it out.

It's basically an incident where an unlucky living person, missing a dead person, kept calling out to them, which led to the provoke of a restless and powerful undead spirit.

The situation is clear; all that's left is to deal with the evil spirit behind the breathing mask.

Tommy and his team acted swiftly, arriving at Quinn's doorstep with Ellis in just twenty minutes.

However, at this moment, besides Sean and his daughter Quinn, there were two other young men, one fat and one thin, looking around the room with some strange-looking glasses, seemingly doing something.

“Miss Ellis?” Sean looked at her in surprise, while his eyes darted warily toward Tommy and the others behind Ellis, his hand already unconsciously reaching toward his waist.

no way.

Tommy and his men looked like fierce armed men, and anyone would be wary of them.

"Don't be nervous, Sean, let me explain."

"Iris said in a gentle voice."

"These are the helpers I've hired. Don't let their seemingly wild appearance fool you; they're very capable. With them, it will be much easier to resolve your daughter's situation. Please trust me."

Sean's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded with difficulty.

What a joke.

That bald guy was carrying an automatic rifle, what can I say?!

Ellis smiled helplessly, turned to look at Tommy, who pouted and put the gun behind his back.

Seeing this, Ellis looked at Sean and asked, "Can you introduce these two to me now?"

The fat man and the thin man looked at each other, but they were quite bold and came closer. "I'm Tucker, and he's Drummer. We're paranormal enthusiasts. We've been making these kinds of videos online for the past two years. Our goal is to surpass the Warrens and appear on TV in a respectable way!"

"You must be Miss Ellis? We've heard so much about you! It's wonderful that you could tell us about your exorcism experiences over the years..."

???

Ellis could hardly believe her ears. What was she hearing?
Sean actually invited two paranormal enthusiasts who make paranormal videos?!

Isn't he afraid of causing someone to die?
She looked at Sean with a serious expression, tinged with displeasure.

Sean sighed and said in a low voice, "I called everyone involved with the paranormal, and only they were willing to come, so I..."

"Nonsense! This is an evil spirit; people will die!"

“Tucker, Dugger, I want you to go back immediately. It’s not safe here.”

Faced with Ellis's advice, the two looked at each other. "But that's what we came here for. We're really curious about whether real souls exist in this world, and we're not doing this for profit. If possible, we'd also like to help some people who are troubled by this."

"Are you... sure? You really aren't leaving?"

"of course."

"Alright, perhaps you can film me performing an exorcism first, but you must follow instructions and not try it rashly, as that could be dangerous..."

Tommy suddenly drew his gun at that moment.

boom!
A gunshot rang out, shattering everything.

“Although I still want to hear you talk, something seems to think otherwise,” Tommy said, his eyes fixed on Sean’s daughter, Quinn.

Quinn hadn't spoken since he entered the room, remaining seated in his wheelchair. Now, however, he was trembling all over, as if struggling with something.

next second.

Quinn suddenly lowered his head.

Ellis was startled, and her psychic abilities were activated.

For an instant.

Everything changed before my eyes.

Darkness enveloped the place, the atmosphere became oppressive and gloomy, and there was complete silence, as if one had entered another world. In fact, Ellis had indeed left the present world at this moment.

Dark world, otherworld, the barrier of hell, the link between worlds...

There are many different names for this world.

However, it is generally believed to be a transit point between hell and the present world, a special intermediary world where there is no concept of time and everything seems rather chaotic.

it's here.

Demons who have found passages in Hell but have not yet been summoned can stay here, casting some of their power into the mortal world while waiting for an opportunity. Meanwhile, evil spirits that have not been eliminated by church mass often gather and hide here due to their special nature, like dens.

Conversely, only a few human mediums with powerful psychic abilities are allowed to freely enter, leave, and reside here.

Ellis is undoubtedly such a powerful medium. From childhood, she has been able to unconsciously enter this place. This powerful ability even led to a tragedy in her family...

Now, she used her psychic abilities, hoping to see where Quinn's soul had gone.

Upon arriving here, she saw Quinn in a room, but there were other souls besides her.

“Oh no, this can’t be.” Ellis stared in shock at the spirit, her deceased lover.

Because she was very experienced, she knew very well that the person in front of her was probably not her lover, but something else in disguise, an illusion, but she still couldn't help but hesitate.

It's only when you get old that you realize how terrible loneliness can be, especially during this period of retirement, which makes Ellis very lonely.

Sometimes she can't help but reminisce about the past and miss her lover.

So at this moment, she was somewhat shaken.

But ultimately, she possessed a powerful soul and rich experience, and through gritted teeth, she shook off this emotion, picked up the stool next to her, and was about to go forward.

"Demon! Let go of that girl!"

A mechanical voice suddenly rang out.

A one-meter-tall wooden puppet suddenly appeared, holding a small knife in its hand and pointing it directly at the evil spirit.

Ellis remembered it; it seemed to be the puppet on Tommy's shoulder? Its name was... Finley.

“Take her away, I’ll take care of it.”

Finley said this, and then rushed forward with his knife in hand.

Ellis reacted quickly, grabbing Quinn and running outside. The evil spirit that had transformed into Ellis's old partner let out a heavy roar, its form shifting back to its original shape with the breathing mask on its head.

"Hey, where are you going? Look at the knife! Ha!"

Finley brandished his knife, slicing it across the evil spirit's body, then leaped up and stabbed it through the stomach.

Strangely, the evil spirit's movements were not slow, but it just couldn't hit Finley, so Finley kept circling around it, chipping away at its health bar.

And that knife, it was clearly just an ordinary iron weapon, yet it could harm evil spirits; everything seemed so strange.

Once Quinn had completely disappeared from sight, the evil spirit became agitated and angry, its heavy breathing sending out a large cloud of white mist through its breathing mask, scorching the houses and walls in front of it.

Finley dodged the attack, patted his small body in lingering fear, and then, with a series of clattering sounds, opened and closed his mouth, dodging the mist, avoiding the arm, and leaping onto the body in an extremely bizarre manner.

Then, with a single stab, he plunged the knife into the top of the evil spirit's head, also knocking the breathing mask off in the process.

"Ow!!!!"

Black fog spread.

The evil spirit began to dissipate and die.

Finley smacked its lips and headed towards Ellis, but as soon as it caught up, it opened its mouth wide and cried out, "Oh no!"

"What a huge lump of evil."

……

This world.

Ellis rushed out with Quinn, and Quinn's soul returned to his body.

"Hi~"

Quinn suddenly straightened up, his eyes widened, and tears slid down his cheeks. "Mom... I... I just saw Mom... It was Mom who stayed by my side the whole time, that evil spirit didn't succeed... Mom has been with me all this time..."

Upon hearing this, Sean, who had been anxiously staying by his daughter's side, was stunned and couldn't help but hug his daughter and burst into tears.

Ellis, who had also returned to her body, was panting heavily. There was nothing she could do; she was too old to keep up with the younger people.

She looked at Tommy, and sure enough, the puppet on Tommy's shoulder had disappeared. Tommy knew from her reaction that Finley had completed the task.

"How about that? My buddy's pretty awesome, right?"

"Indeed, it's quite good and very interesting."

"By the way, it should be able to get out by itself, right?" "Don't worry, Finley isn't human, how could it not get out? We'll just wait a little while."

The matter seems to have come to an end.

Finley's intervention alone was enough to end the matter.

but……

"Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

Ellis's dog suddenly started barking wildly, howling madly behind her.

Ellis froze, resisting the urge to turn around. She looked at Tommy, giving him a meaningful look, trying to tell him what was happening next.

Tommy scratched his smooth, bald head, frowning. Suddenly, his brows relaxed, as if he had thought of something. He took out a wet willow leaf from his tactical pouch and wiped his eyelids with it.

The next moment.

Bang bang bang! !

A barrage of over a dozen silver bullets, soaked in holy water, was fired wildly, riddling Iris's side with holes.

"Everyone! Paranormal Sequence!"

Ten burly men in black armor wiped their eyelids with willow leaves in unison, then began firing into the room, accompanied by faint angry roars as the speed of the bullets suddenly increased.

Ellis froze completely.

Cold sweat and fear gripped my mind.

His legs trembled as he lay down and went to Sean and his daughter, who were also quite frightened, and retreated away.

Now, this room has become a battlefield.

It's not a place they can get involved in.

They had just dawdled out of the room.

Then the black-armored soldiers pulled out specially made grenades and began to detonate them.

Whether that mysterious thing is dead or not, Ellis doesn't know, but she's certain that Shaw's family is destroyed.

"Ow!!"

A white light shone forth.

The amulet on Tommy's body, which Louis had specially blessed with his magic, emitted a dazzling white light, and even released a trace of blood-red karmic fire, which burned and spread towards the invisible being.

Under the burning fire of karma.

This thing has finally revealed its true colors.

A red-faced demon with long, slender, sharp arms and legs, a jet-black body, and a blood-red head and face appeared in the room, looking at Tommy's amulet with apprehension.

Tommy licked his lips. "You're asking for it. I haven't fought a demon yet, so let's see how good you are."

"Guys, let's go!"

Ten burly men in black armor began to close in and surround the enemy, each wielding different weapons: a tiger's fang, concentrated holy water, a peach wood cross, a Bagua mirror, a peach wood sword, a small silver sword...

next second.

The half-divine artifact, the Bagua Mirror, allows the first move to trap the enemy.

Tiger Fang slows down the opponent's actions.

The cross and concentrated holy water launched a deadly attack, while the peach wood sword and small silver sword attacked at close range.

It's a fully-developed program for fighting supernatural monsters.

The black-armored soldiers had used this procedure to deal with many evil spirits before, and it had all gone smoothly. However, this was the first time they had used it against a demon, and they were all on high alert.

There was no other way. If it were a physical monster, the black-armored soldiers wouldn't be in such a predicament, but against these soul-type monsters, the purely physical black-armored soldiers could only rely on external aids to deal with them, so they had no choice but to do so.

Available in the next second.

The red-faced demon swiftly severed his own arm, which was wreathed in karmic fire, and collapsed back into the hellish chasm.

The entire operation was swift and decisive, dodging the mirror's light and avoiding all attacks in advance.

Even in the final moment before it sank into darkness, it looked at Tommy with a strange gaze—no, not at him, but at the amulet!
The look in his eyes was both one of fear and recognition of the thing.

Tommy's face darkened as he watched the red-faced demon flee. "He ran pretty fast. A demon? He's more like a giant rat!"

But this time.

In the darkness that had not yet completely faded, a faint, mournful howl could be heard.

next second.

Whoosh!
Finley was suddenly thrown out of the darkness and soared freely in the sky.

"Oh my god! Tommy! Catch me!"

"Okay, I'll catch you, don't worry. Yes, yes, right here. Don't worry, I'll catch you perfectly..."

Bang!

The puppet fell to the ground.

“…Stable.” Tommy finished speaking, then looked at Finley, who was lying face down on the ground, feeling embarrassed.

"Finley, if I said it was because you landed in the wrong place, and not because I didn't catch you properly, would you believe me?"

Finley did not speak.

Finley extended his middle finger.

……

"That mission, well, it's been successfully completed."

"The breathing mask evil spirit has been dealt with by Finley, and the Quinn family will no longer be harassed by that guy. Miss Ellis, you can rest assured."

Ellis nodded and thanked Tommy.

You can't judge a book by its cover. My old friend Carl has really made it big these days. He can actually send out fully armed soldiers who can deal with evil spirits. I vaguely remember that before, he needed me to go and check on his grandson to see if he was possessed by an evil spirit. Things have really changed...

That's right, he's a bit rough around the edges when it comes to things.

Ellis couldn't help but glance at Sean's dilapidated house.

"Well, Miss Ellis, that red-faced demon seems to have his eye on you. We couldn't deal with him, so keep this for your self-defense. With this, that guy won't be able to kill you."

Tommy hesitated for a moment, but considering Carl's high regard for Ellis and the reason for this operation, he still handed over what he had.

Ellis took the amulet, and upon looking at it, she sensed a powerful force emanating from it. The amount of power was not large, but the peculiar nature of the flames was extremely high, making her instinctively feel danger, even more dangerous than when the red-faced demon had just approached her.

Her intuition told her that the owner of this thing was no ordinary person.

She didn't want to keep such a precious item, but hung it up anyway at Tommy's insistence.

"That's it, mission accomplished. We should head back now. See you next time."

"Wait, Tommy, have you seen Minnie?" Ellis finally asked, looking at Tommy expectantly.

Tommy scratched his bald head. He knew who Ellis was talking about. "Hmm, I've met her. She works for a cleaner company in Cambridge now. She's part of a team with another fortune teller. They're the backbone of the business. She's doing quite well. She's debt-free and middle class. Didn't she call you?"

Ellis smiled and shook her head. "I did call, but I still want to hear what people who know about her situation have to say."

"Thank you."

Tommy waved his hand and led the black-armored soldiers outside.

As they walked, some of their conversations were scattered by the wind.

"You'd better have run into that guy when you came out."

"Of course, I stabbed it in the back."

"Huh? I burned it with the fire from the amulet, and even when it lost an arm, it didn't make such a terrible scream. Where did you poke it?"

"Hehe, I even turned around a bit further down the road."

"hiss!"

"You dirty puppet who only stares down there, get away from me! And that knife, disgusting!"

"Click! Click!"
