Becoming a god by raising witches

The other servants were also doing their jobs. Minnie the Black Skull hid under the covers in the master bedroom, intending to warm the bed with the temperature of her cold bones.

Locke returned to the Bureau of Investigation.

A troubled Locke went to the library and met Boyd, who was also troubled.

"Boyd, what's wrong?"

Locke asked.

"Do you remember when I told you I was going to propose to Tia?"

Boyd asked.

Locke nodded. "I remember. What's wrong?"

"Just now, I proposed to Tia, but she rejected me."

Boyd said, distressed.

“It’s perfectly normal that Miss Tia rejected you.”

Locke said.

Under normal circumstances, no ghost would want to marry a human, right?

Moreover, it was a ghost that had been turned into a strange creature.

Tia would most likely think Boyd's brain is waterlogged.

"No, this is not normal at all. Tia should at least give me a reason for refusing me, but she completely ignored my question. I think it's because her remaining memories and understanding do not include the concept of marriage, so she has no idea what I'm doing."

Boyd explained, "So if I want her to accept my proposal, I need to make her remember more things from the past, but I can't do that because that's something only a dark wizard can do."

"A black wizard, a necromancer?"

Locke asked.

"That's right, but unfortunately we can't find the Black Wizard at all. Even if we did, the Black Wizard wouldn't help me. After all, our Bureau of Paranormal Investigations has no relationship with the Black Wizard, and strictly speaking, we are enemies."

Boyd walked to the bookshelf and said, "I'll have to find some relevant books myself. I hope I don't come up empty-handed."

"Okay, I'll help you look for it too."

Locke said enthusiastically, but in reality, he wanted to take the opportunity to find books about evil gods.

"Thank you, Locke."

Boyd said.

"Don't mention it, we're partners."

Locke and Boyd were looking through books in the library when Miss Ghost, the librarian, would appear behind them from time to time and then disappear without a trace.

This feeling, like being constantly watched, often made Locke feel guilty.

The library has a vast collection of books, making it impossible to read them all in a single day. Even if Locke used his speed-reading method of skimming, he would not be able to peruse all the books.

The two stayed in the library until late at night.

"Locke, we have to go."

Boyd looked at Locke with regret.

"We haven't found any clues yet."

Locke said.

"Yes, but we can come back tomorrow."

"I want to take another look."

“Locke, believe me, you don’t want to spend the night here. At midnight, Tia will lose her mind and attack everything here in a frenzy, hoping to get out of here.”

Boyd told Locke about Tia's secret.

Locke paused for a moment, then put down the book in his hand. "Then let's come back tomorrow."

"Ah."

Boyd and Locke left the library and went home in the night.

Locke has read through sixteen books today, but has not found any record of evil gods. Perhaps such high-level classified information is not kept in the library, but in the archives, if there have been cases of evil gods resurrecting.

Locke returned home and lay exhausted on the sofa.

Alice had prepared dinner and sat down next to Hannah, but she hadn't touched her cutlery.

"Locke, why are you so late today? We've been waiting for you. Didn't Ai and Rebecca come with you?"

"Hannah asked."

"No, they stayed at the manor to handle some matters. They probably had dinner there. I'm not hungry, so you can eat by yourselves."

Locke had little interest in Alice's craftsmanship.

"Locke, this is Alice's secret recipe steak, which took her a long time to make. It's said to have a 500-year history."

Hannah tried her best to promote Alice.

Locke's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about the 500-year history.

Alice is a vampire. Vampires have long lifespans, which means they experience more than ordinary people. Is it possible that Alice knows things that others don't?

Even if she doesn't know, surely some elder in her family does?

Locke felt he had found a breakthrough, so he sat down next to Alice and picked up his knife and fork.

"The steak tastes good."

"Isn't it great? This is an authentic Edenburg Mirebo steak with a 500-year history."

Alice proudly raised her head.

"Aytonburg? You're not from the Kingdom of Tumen?"

Locke realized the place name Alice had mentioned.

Alice nodded slightly. "Yes, esteemed master, I do not belong to the Kingdom of Tumen. My homeland is Aitonburg."

"I see. How old are you this year?"

Locke asked.

Alice's lips twitched slightly, revealing an unpleasant expression.

“Locke, it is inappropriate to ask a lady’s age.”

Hannah reminded Locke.

"She's not a lady, she's a vampire."

Locke reminded Hannah.

"Not a vampire, but a noble vampire."

Alice reminded Locke and Hannah.

The three of them looked at each other.

So how old are you exactly?

Hannah also became curious about this.

Alice pursed her lips. "I'm only 50 years old this year, which is as tender as a newborn baby in the eyes of vampires."

"50 years old?"

Hannah looked at Alice in surprise. "It's amazing that you don't have a single gray hair or wrinkle."

“I’m still an infant, how could I possibly have wrinkles and gray hair? Even if I’m 200 or 800 years old, I will never grow old, and my appearance will remain the same.”

Alice felt that Hannah lacked common sense, but she had only recently formed an alliance with Hannah to avoid being attacked by Rebecca, so she couldn't treat Hannah too badly.

"Alice, have you ever experienced the descent of an evil god? Or has there ever been an invasion of an evil god in Aidenburg?"

Locke asked directly.

Alice was taken aback.

“If I had experienced the descent of an evil god, you wouldn’t be able to see me now; I would probably be dead by now. A hundred years ago, Edenburg experienced a terrible invasion by an evil god, but I wasn’t born then, so I don’t know. You need to ask my mother or my older siblings, but they are far away in Edenburg.”

"Did it really happen?"

Locke's eyes lit up. If it had happened in Aidenburg, then it must have been recorded in the files of strange events in the Kingdom of Tumen. After all, the world is a whole, and such a big event could not have gone unrecorded. Even if he couldn't get any answers from Alice, he could apply to view the files of the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations.

Hannah looked at Alice in surprise, "Are there really evil gods in this world?"

"Of course, even demons exist, so evil gods must exist too. It's just that we live in a peaceful era where all the gods are hidden. It's not an easy thing for an evil god to reappear in the world. The conditions are extremely harsh."

Alice said in a serious tone that she realized she actually knew more than these two humans who only lived for a few decades, and a natural sense of superiority arose in her.

"How much do you know about evil gods?"

Locke asked.

"The more you know, the easier it is to be corrupted and misled, so our family rarely popularizes knowledge about evil gods."

Alice proudly declared that she knew nothing about the evil god.
