Becoming a god by raising witches

Renis shook her head, ignoring Tia, and instead answered Locke's question.

"Chuck has been dead for many years. Ghost's memories are incomplete. She can't remember everything. If you tell her now, she will break down and cry even harder."

The two went up to the third floor, to Renis's office.

Renis turned on the office light, the orange glow dispelling the darkness in the room and blending with the bright moonlight outside the window.

“Tell me in detail what you saw today and why you feel like you are being watched.”

Renis sat down on the mahogany sofa chair, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at Locke.

Locke organized his thoughts and recounted his experiences of the day.

Briefly describe the moving process, focusing on the encounter with the white carriage.

"...This is the second time I've encountered this carriage. A red-haired woman is sitting in it. She and Christa are probably together. They are talking about the B03 music box that plays with time, and they also mentioned the Witch's Book."

"The Book of Witches?"

Renis frowned and asked,

Are you sure it's the Witch's Book?

“I’m sure they seem to be looking for these two things.”

Locke pointed to his ears. "My hearing is excellent, I can't be mistaken, Chief. What is the Book of Witches?"

"The Book of Witches, also known as the Book of Witches' Revelation, records the deeds of 12 ancient witches. It is a contingency plan used by the 12 ancient witches to resurrect themselves, and it is also a strange object that all witches want to obtain. Its number is B021."

Renis explained.

Locke's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't control his expression.

The book that Krista was looking for turned out to be "The Witch's Revelation," which was with Ai. Could it be that Krista had placed the music box in Kosork from the very beginning just for Ai?

Her target wasn't herself, but Xiao Ai.

But she couldn't find Xiao Ai's exact location because Xiao Ai was protected by some evil god who had erased her presence.

So she used Galken's coffee shop, which is also known as the music box that plays with time, to entice the foodie Xiao Ai.

No foodie can resist the aroma of coffee.

Xiao Ai almost fell victim to it too.

No, I have to go back and tell Xiao Ai about this.

Locke thought to himself.

"Locke, you seem surprised. Have you heard of 'The Witch's Revelation'?"

Renis looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I have actually studied a lot of books about witches. Of course, most of them are just gossip and rumors, but they do mention 'The Witch's Revelation'."

Locke said, half-jokingly, that he realized he shouldn't make exaggerated expressions in front of the director in the future.

“Locke, it seems Freya was right, you really like witches.”

Renis spoke softly, picking up the coffee cup on the table.

Hot coffee automatically appeared in the coffee cup.

Locke suddenly really wanted this ability, so he decided to call it "automatic refill".

He scratched his head.

"Actually, I don't like it that much."

Renis raised her amber eyes and looked at him.

Locke swallowed, feeling that it wouldn't be appropriate to say he liked it, nor would it be appropriate to say he disliked it.

The bureau chief in front of me is a witch.

"I only like kind witches."

Locke added.

"Then you really are a naive young man."

Renis's lips curled up into a faint smile.

"There are no kind witches in this world. If you encounter one, it means you've been deceived. All witches are good at pretending."

"Forehead……"

Locke broke out in a sweat.

Director, are you saying that you yourself are evil?

"You need to continue learning from Boyd. Also, if you encounter something like this in the future, don't come to me first, but consult your partner Boyd."

"I understand. I will."

Locke said sincerely.

Renis nodded slightly. "Did you bring the devil's pipe?"

"Bring it."

Although Rebecca was kept at home as a maid, he always carried his pipe with him.

"The demon Rebecca is a very easy one to control. She can protect you to some extent, but you must feed her a fresh soul every now and then so that her power will not weaken. If you can't find a suitable one, you can have Boyd take you to the prison, where there are countless death row inmates."

Renis reminded her.

Locke was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Rebecca would need to be fed in this way.

"So... how long does it usually take?"

"About a month, depending on whether you've used her in any major battles. The last time she ate was at the beginning of this month. Next month, you'll have to have Boyd take you to prison, otherwise she might harm your family."

"Thank you, Director. I'll remember that."

How's your shooting skill now?

"We can now hit targets within 200 meters."

Locke said with a smile.

Renis nodded slightly. "Okay, go to Mrs. Freya's tomorrow to pick up a pistol and bullets."

She quickly wrote a gun requisition form and signed it, then handed it to Locke, along with a black talisman.

"This is a summoning talisman that can summon my shadow clone. It can only be used once. Use it when you are in danger. As for the rest, we'll discuss it at tomorrow's meeting."

"Okay, Director."

Locke stuffed the application form and the black talisman for protection into his coat pocket.

"Director, I'll head back now so as not to disturb your rest."

He turned to leave, but Rhaenys suddenly called out to him.

"Locke, do you have witch blood?"

"I don't think so, Director. Why do you ask?"

Locke turned around and looked at Renis.

Renis shook her head.

"I'm probably overthinking it. You went to the Cathedral of Life and had the purification done, right?"

"It was done."

“Alright, Locke, go back and rest. Don’t worry, since her target is the Witch’s Book, she won’t easily make a move against you.”

"Well, then I'm leaving."

Locke walked to the door and looked back at Renis one last time.

Renis waved goodbye to him.

Locke opened the office door.

"Chief, I'm really leaving."

"Ah."

Locke left Renis's office, and after confirming that Renis hadn't called him back, he quickened his pace and took the night train home.

"Locke, why are you so late?"

Hannah sat in the living room waiting for him.

"Hannah, I'm now the princess's chosen chef. I might be working late into the night a lot in the future, so don't worry about where I go."

Locke made up a reason and quickly went up to the third floor via the spiral escalator.

Hannah pursed her lips, sensing that her younger brother was starting to get proud.

"Men go bad once they have money. Never spoil him, or your future will be miserable. He will spend the night with different women."

Rebecca, sitting next to Hannah, offered a reminder.

Hannah looked at Rebecca in surprise, and immediately covered Rebecca's mouth.
