Becoming a god by raising witches

Sieg believed that Locke, like himself, had a mutated constitution, and therefore must be able to easily sense strange objects.

That's not actually the case.

Locke himself does not possess this characteristic; he relies on the system and the witch.

Therefore, the only way to find the strange creature and leave this place is to rely on Eileen.

"Locke, you're here. I thought you had already left."

Lucy, wearing a mask, slowly walked over and appeared next to Locke.

Locke Ying took her hand and said with a smile, "The beautiful Miss Lucy is still here, how could I bear to leave?"

Locke in the mirror world twitched at the corner of his mouth, hoping that his shadow wouldn't cause trouble outside.

If Mrs. Malvina might be an imposter, then is Miss Lucy definitely real?

Locke was about to remind his shadow to get down to business when he discovered that his shadow had already slipped past Lucy and entered the dance floor.

Chapter 107, The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider

Locke Shadow was clearly much bolder than Locke himself; he spotted a familiar figure on the dance floor.

To be precise, it was a familiar hair color—pale golden curls like waves of wheat. The owner of the hair was a graceful noblewoman, dressed in a gorgeous gown like Madame Malvina, wearing a black veiled hat adorned with feathers and black gloves trimmed with lace.

Her skirt was dark-colored. Only married women like to wear dark-colored skirts. Young girls usually choose bright, light colors, such as pink, blue, green, and yellow.

Locke Ying smelled a familiar scent on this noblewoman.

"Oh, dear Miss Andy, I've finally found you."

As Locke spoke, he removed the noblewoman's mask, revealing Christa's face.

"I'm sorry, I've got the wrong person."

Locke returned the mask to the woman who had the exact same face as Krista.

Locke received no system notifications in the mirror world, which proved that Krista in front of him was most likely not a witch.

"It's ok."

As she spoke, her pale blue eyes seemed like deep pools, drawing Locke Ying's consciousness into them.

Locke clearly felt his clone go offline for a few seconds.

Locke was stunned for 10 seconds.

After a moment, he said with a smile,

“Beautiful lady, please allow me to continue my search for Miss Andy.”

"It's ok."

Krista said.

Locke turned and left, pretending to be looking for Andy Hagen like the other men at the ball.

Eileen reminded Locke of the mask on his face.

"Locke, your clone has been exposed."

"You saw through it?"

Locke asked, puzzled.

Eileen, in the form of a mask, can enter the mirror world with Locke, because in principle she is not human.

"Hmm, just now, didn't you feel the connection between yourself and your clone break?"

"I can sense it. Could it be Krista who did it?"

"Yes, it invaded Locke's consciousness and read his memories. Combined with the Sieg that was just copied, I've already guessed its true identity."

Eileen jumped off Locke's face, and the mask transformed into a thin cat fur.

The fur gradually swelled into the shape of a black cat, and then was flattened back into fur by the mirrored world.

Eileen frowned, then finally stopped struggling and perched on Locke's shoulder in the form of fur.

Who exactly is it?

Locke asked in surprise.

"It was once a pet of the Witch of Deception, the Thousand-Faced Spider, a very rare and bizarre creature."

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Spider? Can it transform into anyone?"

Locke speculated.

Eileen shook her head.

"The reason why the Thousand-Faced Spider is called the Thousand-Faced Spider is not because it has a thousand faces, but because of its spider eggs."

"After the spider eggs are eaten, the person will become her puppet. If she wants the puppet to become a completely different person, she only needs to let the puppet seduce the target and have a relationship with her. The puppet can then replicate the target by giving birth. This person has all the target's memories and has a similar personality. The only difference is that he will regard the Thousand-Faced Spider as his mother and be completely obedient to it."

"Where there is a Thousand-Faced Demon Spider, there will inevitably be a group of her vassals."

"Is it that terrifying? Could it be that everyone here has become her puppet?"

"As of now, Madam Suman is definitely her puppet, but she still needs to use Madam Suman, so she hasn't allowed the spider eggs inside Madam Suman to grow. As for the others, it's still uncertain."

"Then why are there two Madame Malvinas?"

Locke asked, though he had some guesses, he wasn't sure.

Who is Lady Malvina's husband?

Eileen suddenly asked.

Locke's pupils contracted slightly. "You mean? The Madame Malvina who just died in childbirth was the real one, and the Madame Malvina at the ball now is actually the old Baron?!"

"That's right. The old baron may have unconsciously eaten the spider eggs and created a clone of Madam Malvina. For the clone to live forever, it would need to kill the original. But clones cannot give birth, so the original still has a purpose. From the beginning, there were two Madam Malvinas at the masquerade ball. One was the Madam Malvina who played cards with you, and the other was the Madam Malvina who was talking to Lucy. Because they were wearing masks, no one knew."

Eileen analyzed.

Locke was horrified when he thought about it; it turned out to be like this.

"Will Miss Lucy be in danger?"

Locke asked.

"The Thousand-Faced Spider's goal is not to kill people. It wants to find the Witch's Apocalypse and resurrect its master. As long as you don't have a relationship with Lucy, Lucy will be fine."

Eileen said calmly.

"You mean Lucy also has worm eggs inside her? Can these eggs be removed?"

Locke asked nervously, "Miss Lucy is my big spender. She just agreed to invest 2 gold coins in the bicycle company. She can't just die here like this."

"It seems you care about her a lot."

Eileen squinted at her pet owner.

The pet owner looked guilty.

“Lucy is my friend, and she is very rich.”

Do you know why nobles and royalty don't easily fall victim to strange forms of control?

Eileen countered with a question.

"I don't know, I'm just a poor person."

Locke shrugged and said.

"Because the nobles and royalty are under the protection of the Cathedral of Life, the Cathedral of Life will regularly send priests or priests to give members of the royal family and nobles physical examinations and leave some holy water and purification charms. As long as Miss Lucy doesn't have any problems here, she will be fine after she goes home."

Erin said.

"What's the story with the Earl and Baron of Nahagen?"

Locke asked.

"Who told you that Earl Hagen was infected? Madame Suman is a mistress. She won't live in Earl Hagen's mansion forever, nor will she undergo a medical examination by a church priest or pastor. She is the best host for the Thousand-Faced Demon Orb. Earl Hagen and his daughter should be fine. Even if they ate the insect eggs, as long as they don't hatch immediately, they will be digested by the holy water."

Eileen gave Locke a disdainful look, thinking he knew absolutely nothing about nobility or the world.

"But the old baron is different. Barons are the lowest rank of nobility. Although they are nobles, the church doesn't care too much about their affairs. As long as they request not to undergo medical examinations and holy water blessings, the church will not forcibly intervene. In addition, many barons in the kingdom do not follow the Church of Life, but the Church of Mechanics. So the old baron fell into the trap."

"So that's it."

Locke's expression suddenly dawned on him. "Wait, how do you know so much about the relationship between the kingdom's nobles and the church? Were you a noble before?"

"Humph."

Eileen raised her head proudly, though it was just a stubble, it looked somewhat eerie.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something was wrong, and transformed into a mask again, placing it on Locke's face.

The perspective of the mirrored world has changed, from a lively ball to someone's study.

A face belonging to Christa slowly appeared before Locke's eyes.

"So you were hiding here."

Krista's lips curled up slightly, revealing a chilling smile.
