Becoming a god by raising witches

Levy Bilal's dream did not end.

She put on a black hood, slowly walked out of the Rose Theatre, took a carriage to the West End, and found a homeless man who reeked of foul odor.

The homeless man was slightly stunned when he saw the mysterious woman suddenly appear, and the next second, he pounced on her.

Levy Bilal cried out, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't do this to me."

Locke frowned.

Is this a warning from the Red Shoes to Levy Bilal?

These shoes have a sense of self and will control their host to dance continuously. If the host resists, they will punish them.

Locke guessed, stepped forward, and picked up the homeless man.

The homeless man turned around, but he seemed not to see Locke. Thinking he was possessed, he screamed and ran away.

Levy Bilal quickly got up from the ground, hailed a carriage by the roadside, and hurried back to the Rose Theatre.

Although I stopped the homeless man's assault in the dream, if this was a real dream, wouldn't it prove that these things had already happened?

Locke exited the dream again.

“It wasn’t them. There must have been another mysterious person who gave out these dancing shoes. These dancing shoes will control the host. At first, Levy Bilal still had her own consciousness and felt fear, but now she has completely accepted the red dancing shoes and has no resistance at all.”

Locke said to Boyd.

Boyd put down his teacup. "Well, it seems the rumors are true."

"What rumors?"

Locke asked curiously.

"Rumor has it that the red dancing shoes can drive people to despair, making them see them as their only hope and placing their consciousness and desires on them. They will slowly devour the host's soul. It seems that this is the case. Levy Bilal's soul should be being eaten away little by little. We need to get her to take off the dancing shoes as soon as possible."

Boyd said.

"it is good."

Locke felt that saving lives was more urgent than investigating the real culprit.

Moreover, once they obtain the red dancing shoes, Boyd might be able to use the ritual of finding the item to directly locate everyone who had come into contact with them.

“This time, you need to change the spell.”

Under Boyd's guidance, Locke reclaimed the Heart of Dreams and silently recited it three times.

"Let me enter Levy Bilal's virtual dream."

A large, deep purple hand appeared before him and pulled Locke's consciousness inside.

Locke first saw a colorful world of bubbles, followed by a blue sky and white clouds, and various strange and unidentified things formed by the clouds and mist, and finally a boundless sea and many scattered islands.

A strong gust of wind blew everything away, and the scene began to shatter.

Locke reached out and grabbed one of the fragments.

His consciousness was also sucked into the fragment.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Levy Bilal still in the single lounge.

Levy Bilal looked at him in surprise.

"Locke, what brings you here?"

Chapter 121, Locke

"Miss Levy, Miss Jacqueline is in trouble."

Locke looked at Levy Bilal with a serious expression.

In the dream world, Quijalin considers Locke a friend, and Locke is an agent.

"Jacqueline? How could something have happened to her?"

Levy Billar pulled Locke into the lounge. In the dream, her female assistant, Cona, was kneeling on the floor wiping it. It was clear that Levy Billar looked down on Cona from the bottom of her heart.

Do you remember Fort Worth department store?

Locke asked.

"I remember, it's one of the three major department stores in the Will District."

"That's what Levy Bilal said."

Locke nodded and took out a newspaper.

"Fall department store recently launched a pair of red dancing shoes with the tagline 'If you truly love her, give her a pair of red dancing shoes.'"

"What's wrong with this?"

Levy Bilal looked at the advertisement in the newspaper and asked, puzzled.

"Several stars at the Rose Theatre received this gift from their admirers, and Miss Jacqueline was one of them."

Locke continued.

"What...what does that mean?"

Levy Bilal glanced instinctively at the red dancing shoes on her feet.

"Just now, Miss Jacqueline died on stage while performing in the play 'Springtime of the Dancer'."

Locke frowned, his expression quite serious.

"How could this be?"

Levy Bilal swallowed.

“Not only Miss Quigley, but the ladies before her also died on stage. We investigated the cause, and it was because of these red dancing shoes.”

Locke said.

"What's wrong with these shoes?"

Levy Bilal asked nervously.

Do you know Miss Tifa Brunt, the ballet star who was a sensation at the Rose Theatre 10 years ago?

Locke asked.

Levy Bilal shook her head. "I... I don't think I've ever heard of her."

"Well, I only found out by looking through old files. She was very famous back then, and almost half of Kosork was her dance fan."

"She must be very famous to be so outstanding."

Levy Bilal looked on with envy, wishing that everyone in Kosork would look at her with eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, she also has a rival named Quess Elebick."

Locke continued,

"At the time, the two were vying for the lead role in the ballet 'The Red Rose.' Miss Tifa Brunt had already been chosen, but on the night before the performance, Miss Tifa Brunt died mysteriously in her apartment. In the end, Quess Elebic took her place and performed on stage. Quess Elebic wore red shoes at the time. Because of the success of the ballet 'The Red Rose,' Quess Elebic became famous. She believed that the red shoes brought her good luck, and from then on, she would wear red shoes for her performances."

"What? Miss Tifa Brunt is dead? How did she die? Was it done by Quess Elebick?"

"Levy Bilal asked."

Locke nodded. "Everyone had such suspicions, but because Miss Quess Elbeek was the mistress of the First Sheriff, the case was closed as Miss Tifa Brunt's suicide."

"How can this be?"

Levy Bilal was clearly furious because she had put herself in the shoes of the big star Tifa Brunt.

"Yes, we investigated and found that Miss Tifa Brunt had a passionate dance enthusiast, who was also her fiancé, Gogud Salazar. After Miss Tifa Brunt's death, Gogud Salazar disappeared until recently, when we saw him again at the Rose Theatre."

"What...what does this mean?"

“We suspect that Jacqueline and the others’ deaths are related to Gogud Salazar, who would kill anyone wearing red shoes in order to avenge his fiancée.”

Locke said with a serious expression. To deepen Levy Bilal's fear, Locke even took her hand and walked into the theater himself, where they saw Miss Jacqueline on stage, whose death was extremely bizarre.

"what--"

Levy Bilal covered her head and screamed.

“Levy, don’t worry, we’ll catch Gogud Salazar! We’ll never let him continue his crimes.”

"Yes, but."

Levy Bilal's gaze fell upon the pair of red dancing shoes that were exactly the same as hers on Jacqueline's feet.

"My next performance is..."

"It's okay, the performance has been cancelled."

"Locke, stay here and protect me."

Levy Bilal looked at Locke pleadingly.

Locke shook his head. "Levy, I still need to hunt down Gogud Salazar. Don't worry, there will be many sheriffs protecting you at the theater."

“Locke, what are you doing here? We’ve found another victim, Miss Phoebe. She’s also wearing red dancing shoes. The chief has ordered us to assemble immediately.”

An investigator suddenly rushed over and tried to pull Locke away.
