Let’s go down for lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis opened the door directly, pulled David in, and then delivered a thunderclap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is wrong. The food might be *meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David was utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it possibly be *meat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis patted the dog beside him and explained the situation to David.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more David listened, the tighter his frown became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he pulled Emma, Yulencar, and Jenny into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had completely lost faith in his own luck, so he fully believed Louis—Louis was always reliable and never spoke without reason. Was there any need to hesitate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the speculation, the three all looked pale, unsure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no doubt about Louis’s guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply felt that this journey had been filled with so many beautiful memories, that they’d had so much fun—whether in New Orleans or at the town’s various contests—so why did something disgusting always have to creep into such a wonderful trip?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puppet spirits of the town, terrifying human demons in the fields, and now a bloody *meat restaurant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how they felt, they still had to face it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock knock knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knock came again, followed by the waiter’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, lunch is ready. You’re quite lucky—today is the monthly all-meat feast, a rare occasion. Please come down to eat before it gets cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks. We don’t have much of an appetite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Are you unwell? Should we call a doctor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, just an old ailment. No need to trouble you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, please call me if you need anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending him away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group exchanged glances, then all looked at Louis simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of such a violent event, they still followed Louis—even David, the adult man, was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis didn’t find it strange; he spoke naturally, “Don’t give away anything. Just leave. If they won’t let us go, we fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aunt Jenny, take Emma and Yulencar to the car first. My uncle and I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging the sequence and roles, everyone waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They waited until after lunch, the sensitive moment, before acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis looked relaxed. There was no helping it—he truly didn’t think this was anything serious. He’d just dealt with a terrifying human demon far worse than this black restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to feel afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sitting around here was pointless. Might as well go down and take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs in the first-floor hall, a culinary feast was underway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tender, juicy meat chops sat on plates, alongside roasted ribs, sausage platters, foie gras, braised lamb…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vegetables were scarce—almost all meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet without exception, the guests ate happily, as if savoring delicacies, devouring with gusto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall, Manager Jackson smiled as he watched, his eyes scanning constantly, as if selecting—his gaze fixed on women, men, elders, children!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a hand wrapped around him. The blonde woman Sally pressed close, her tongue lightly licking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved softly to the back corridor, out of the guests’ sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jackson gazed tenderly at his sister. “Who did you pick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That new little girl isn’t bad. She’s thin, no figure, but her face is so soft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the boy with her—oh, those bright blue eyes, so beautiful, like the sea. I want them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jackson thought for a moment and knew who they meant. But that family hadn’t come down to eat—they had stomach trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. But those two aren’t enough. The clan needs a hunt. Take their whole family, then pick a few more from inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, they moved deeper, pinning the woman against the table…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon it was over. Jackson pulled up his pants and asked, “The three brothers aren’t here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They went out. Probably hunting in the forest again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn. Those three outsiders never follow the rules.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. They’re still our kin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of kin—the people in the back mountain keep increasing, but not one of them is normal. We’re normal, but we can’t marry or have children—any child born won’t inherit this manor or provide the family’s wealth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember we had a distant cousin. His family moved out and likely remained normal. Maybe we can contact them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, let’s eat something to regain strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two went to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen walls, once white, were now splattered with blood. On the cutting boards… worse still, deep inside the kitchen, many *bodies hung like roasted suckling pigs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chefs were no ordinary people, perfectly matching the kitchen’s bloody aesthetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were grotesquely deformed—eyes askew, mouths twisted, scarred as if burned, teeth rotten, some deliberately sharpened into fangs. They couldn’t speak, yet possessed immense strength, wielding cleavers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They laughed and joked among themselves, their strength far beyond normal humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two newcomers ignored them. Jackson grabbed a raw slab of meat; the woman took a piece too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fed each other, mouth to mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intimate, almost romantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden by the door, Louis’s eye twitched as he watched this absurd, reality-shattering scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What horror movie was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this female pervert had good taste—she liked Emma’s face and my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine. As a reward, once I find where your clan hides in the back mountain, I’ll spare you a little suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis’s eyes brimmed with intense malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing their words, Louis changed his mind. He decided these deformed cannibals were perfect to raise like livestock—he could pull one out as fuel for his Poison Fire Spell or use their corpses for Corpse Charm experiments. So many of them, so weak—they offered better value than that terrifying human demon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching, Louis activated his Concealment Art, silenced his presence, and slipped away quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the deformed ones noticed he had been there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Louis prepared to act, a brutal massacre was nearing its end in the nearby nature reserve forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-19T23:34:28.869Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2f6feb73e7bfefa765bc64428cea7e76af43a67e970f5459731757ddd9f88bff","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-86","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-84",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-god-through-horror-cover.jpg"]
