Or just go straight for murder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way they’d resort to something as petty as framing each other anymore—they’d already torn the mask off, so they wouldn’t be so “gentle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what should he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Louis was thinking this, someone knocked on his door—and in walked Emma, her face now clean of blood, wearing once again her signature perfect smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment she stepped inside, that smile vanished instantly, as if she was too lazy to pretend in front of Louis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was natural—after all, Louis was the first person to see her true face, and the only one who’d made her cry in terror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to pretend in front of him was pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you here for? Want another correction?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma’s entire body trembled instantly; her open mouth snapped shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous corrections had been her nightmare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis had used his strange ability to make her suffer endless nightmares, each filled with elaborate plots—all ending, without exception, in her death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each death was different, but the torment was always the same—and he even called it “helping her appreciate the value of life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the results…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, the pigeon said it had something to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma took a deep breath. “Louis, when we escaped together, weren’t we kind of friends back then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now we’re friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis replied, watching Emma, curious what she was getting at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then… can you help me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help you with what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me deal with Estelle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma’s voice turned sharp with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe you can’t see it—she’s just like me. If you say you’re here to correct me, then why not correct her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis looked at Emma with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected her to come asking for help—it shattered his entire impression of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But dealing with Estelle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That suited him just fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect—you go charge ahead and test her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re David’s daughter, so I’ll correct you. Estelle? She doesn’t deserve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only deserves to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Emma felt like she was about to explode—her chest tightened with fury. What the hell did that mean? Were you bullying me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I could beat you, I’d…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Louis added, “Let me remind you—Estelle isn’t normal. So what exactly is wrong with her? Have you ever thought about it carefully?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did your brain go when you were dealing with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And be careful, now~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis spoke with deep implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma froze, her mind instantly flashing back to that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Estelle had screamed suddenly when she touched the black ribbon on her wrist after being bullied by that classmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes! The black ribbon! And the black leather Bible she always carried!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was strange in this regard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, like Louis’s family, this was also her secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma felt a surge of excitement—her instinct told her she was on the right track. If she could uncover this, she could defeat Estelle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for direct confrontation—poisoning, accidents, ambushes—she’d considered them too. But then she remembered Estelle smiling as she twisted the pigeon’s neck, and knew those crude methods wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she’d gotten a more thorough, permanent solution from Louis, she’d keep those risky, obvious tactics as backups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, her mind shifted, and she smiled at Louis. “Thank you. By the way, Louis—she’s been looking for you these days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis glanced at her. “Oh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma said no more, smiled, and walked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began planning a permanent solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her leave, Louis rubbed his chin and resumed practicing the Blade-Exhalation Technique. He’d barely reached the beginner stage—he could now hide a dozen needles in his mouth and swallow a small knife into his throat without showing any sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was far from mastery. Once mastered, he wouldn’t just store one knife—he’d be able to launch blades with lethal precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Louis had no intention of pushing further for now. Once he was fully proficient, he’d buy a chicken head and learn the Chicken Head Exorcism Method, then unlock the next page of his inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could practice Blade-Exhalation alongside other techniques—time was still plentiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half-month went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, everything remained quiet—the previous accidents had ceased, and David had finally enjoyed some peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a blonde woman arrived at David’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, dear Emma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She greeted Emma first, then turned to Estelle and Louis with a warm smile. “You must be Estelle and Louis—so adorable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis offered a polite smile; Estelle, however, grew wary, studying the woman for two extra seconds before asking, “Madam, who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself—I’m Angela, Emma’s aunt. You’ll be my nieces and nephew now. Here, these are your gifts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela pulled out the presents from beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A toy gun that looked real enough to fool anyone, a high-quality white scarf, and a hairpin adorned with tiny diamonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, both hands grabbed for the hairpin—Emma and Estelle locked eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angela stood stunned. Hadn’t her brother said both children were well-behaved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned, Angela didn’t understand—hadn’t her brother said both children were well-behaved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Louis took the toy gun and thanked her, then invited her upstairs to find David.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time David came downstairs, having just finished his design sketches, Emma had already wrapped the scarf around her neck—and the hairpin was firmly pinned in Estelle’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David clapped his hands. “You’re almost on break. As a new family, we should take a fun family trip—to the lake, the forest, a picnic, see more scenery and make new friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David clapped his hands, “You’re all about to go on break—I think as a new family, we should take a fun family trip, to the lake, to the forest, for a picnic, to see more scenery and make more friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the exact location isn’t finalized yet—but we’ll pick somewhere wonderful. Angela will be joining us too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the suggestion had originally come from Angela upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this proposal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis was the first to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Emma and Estelle also nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma and Estelle beside him also chose to agree after a brief hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-19T23:34:28.869Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1ea77150d1a25006c47a9f9ff822d1e915e3bdbe2c5b8afc75ac084deeea8df6","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-21","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-19",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-god-through-horror-cover.jpg"]
