when mastered, one could travel eight hundred li in a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the beginner level, it greatly boosts mobility—a quite practical spell, good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis began silently practicing it; before setting out, he had prepared many items, including talismans and cinnabar, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to use the Water Spell that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Louis soon stopped, for not far ahead lay the town of Kelan—after years, he had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the town, Louis suddenly conceived an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kelan camp, though a murder had occurred there years ago and it bordered the haunted Crystal Lake Town, still drew endless visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In America, they had a unique tourism culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For American high schoolers, college students, youths, and middle-aged people, travel was as indispensable as eating and drinking—they must travel several times in their lives, unless too old to move; as for murders, weren’t there far more who didn’t die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why must it be me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what’s there to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, thinking this way made it even more thrilling—walking on the edge of danger was simply fantastic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Louis and the others returned to this place, they saw exactly this scene: the town remained crowded, shops selling tents and small umbrellas and inns thrived—clearly, the camp’s scenery was indeed excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they only stopped temporarily to replenish water and medicine; they would continue their journey shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the shopping break, Louis went alone to the girls’ church school—the place where they had conspired to kill Esther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Louis had a purpose in coming here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently clutching a willow leaf, he greeted passing girls one by one, soon arriving at the abandoned classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the room that had been scorched by fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of ox bile on the eyelids altered his vision slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him, wisps of black mist drifted from the corner—evidence of an evil presence—but Louis did not retreat; he walked straight toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before reaching it, Louis halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at the sight before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came at the right time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, a phantom shadow, charred black and flickering, lay with closed eyes, seemingly forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief glance, he recognized it—Esther!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing an outsider’s presence, the phantom stirred slightly, as if about to awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a flash of Jin Guang, swirling black mist—and not even a scream escaped; all vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire classroom grew much brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t made many enemies, but the second person he killed was Esther, a deranged Biantai , and the man had been burned alive—extremely painful; under such conditions, becoming a ghost was likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So since he happened to pass by, he might as well check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luck favored him—the bastard was nearly becoming a malevolent spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slash, another threat eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I return, I’ll visit Eden Lake Town—there’s still a group of folks burned to death there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis mused on this, then turned to his next consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crystal Lake Camp, north of Kelan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had researched: the immortal boy Jason hadn’t stirred in years, still resting at the bottom of Crystal Lake, so his resurrection count must be low, his power growth limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If pushed, he could use methods to permanently eliminate this brutal boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis rubbed his chin, eyes filled with thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he was too young and lacked means, so he never considered this Hundred-Killer—but now, perhaps he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Current Jason is only in his basic form, not the future space form—his power is limited, at most destroying houses and smashing trees, unable to withstand technology; his only true strength is immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I now have Blood Curse and Corpse Worms; with these two, I can treat Jason as permanent material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the condition that I capture him and bind him with absolute certainty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolute certainty… that was difficult. He remembered Jason gained teleportation in his mid-stage, rarely used, only when prey escaped beyond pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that meant once in mid-stage, ordinary binding methods were useless against Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—I recall he always escaped Crystal Lake due to external forces; if imprisoned within the lake, he couldn’t leave on his own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, he adored his mother—his mental age was low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it required many personnel and technological weapons—otherwise, he’d have to wait until his means were more complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Louis called his family; after a brief summary, he received a response from his uncle Max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Louis’s request was high—requiring heavy weaponry—the family needed considerable time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, unless the Bear Nation was heavily selling off, even the Kano family couldn’t acquire such heavy weapons—now, an opportunity existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though America permits gun ownership, there are many rules and restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, guns can’t be carried freely, require permits, and only standard civilian firearms are available on the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy weaponry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You dare use it, and a swarm will come to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, even the governor will inquire, and the State Department will mention it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Louis gazed northward. “My dear premium material, wait—I’ll meet you soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Louis made the call,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in a psychiatric hospital in the city to which Crystal Lake Town belonged,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy escaped with a fellow patient, driving toward the Crystal Lake Camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car resumed its journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the route was safe—no incidents, they passed through Mississippi State and arrived in Louisiana—New Orleans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louisiana, once a French colony, later sold cheaply to America, now one of its vital port states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially New Orleans, second only to New York as America’s largest port city, its status undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one of Louis’s major destinations along the way was New Orleans—famous for its jazz and French culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1026,"2026-06-19T23:34:28.869Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e4a3b4af5bde2334156eba72ffef8e8ce9268f05a4bd0cd7c6bf58ed024c1a95","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-74","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-72",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-god-through-horror-cover.jpg"]
