Becoming a god by raising witches

Locke looked at Dimo ​​in surprise.

“Yes, only by killing me can we know Angela’s potential and the progress of the Church’s great plan. I am fearless in sacrificing myself for knowledge.”

A resolute glint flashed in Dimo's eyes.

Locke hesitated.

He wanted to make Angela lose control, to find out just how strong she could be, and to see how the test subject was developing.

No, although I also want to cause chaos, I can't sacrifice Angela.

"Dimo, you are my friend. I'm sorry, I can't do this. I have to go."

“Locke, you can’t be soft-hearted. For the sake of knowledge, you must do this.”

"Sorry, I have to go now."

Locke turned to leave, only to bump into Renis.

The quick-witted man immediately switched identities with his clone and decided to confront Uncle Martin, who had been monitoring him.

"Locke, didn't I tell you to hide? Why are you here?"

Renis looked at Lockemin suspiciously.

“Chief, I have not done anything wrong. Why should I hide? I am interrogating people from the Knowledge Cult. This is my job. I am now the captain of the task force.”

"I'm very serious," Locke said.

Lux nodded in agreement. "That's right, he's the captain."

"That's not the case anymore, Locke. Now you need to come back with me."

"Renes said in an icy tone."

Lux was stunned, not understanding what Locke had done wrong to be removed from his position as captain. However, she had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and could only watch helplessly as Locke was taken away by Renee.

After leaving the Cathedral of Life, the two boarded a carriage to return to the Bureau of Investigation.

"Chief, aren't we going to see Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Her Majesty the Queen is so busy, she doesn't have time to see you. You should just go back to the Bureau of Investigation's dungeon for now."

Renis seemed to realize something; she reached out and grabbed Lochmin by the neck.

"Are you an avatar? Where is your original self?"

"The main body has followed your advice and gone into hiding."

Locke Ming said that although he was an avatar and could be resurrected infinitely as long as the main body did not die, Ming, who had tasted death once, really did not want to go through it again.

"And I, because I cannot suppress my longing for you, choose to stay here, to make the most of every minute and every second I can spend with you."

The cruel reality has finally erased Ming's fine virtue of not knowing how to lie.

"This lie is clumsy, but I like it."

Renis released her grip, her expression remaining indifferent.

It was probably because of the unpleasant parting last time that she harbored resentment towards Locke.

"Tell me more about that necromancer. What do you know?"

'If we could know more about demigod-level necromancers, it would likely help Her Majesty eliminate this threat as soon as possible.'

Renis added in her mind.

For her, Locke still had value.

Ming heard her thoughts and remembered that he had only mentioned necromancers before, when had he ever said that she was a demigod?

It must be because of the weather problem Antonia caused earlier. Sigh, she never knows the meaning of being discreet.

It seems the Queen is already suspecting that a demigod-level necromancer has awakened Antonia.

This is not bad news for me.

"If I provide clues, can I guarantee that Her Majesty the Queen will change her mind and not arrest me?"

Ming asked.

"You know Her Majesty the Queen wants to arrest you? Have you already met Bronya?"

In Rhaenys's opinion, if the two had already met, Locke should not be here, but should be brought before Her Majesty the Queen. Of course, unless Bronya Peters was killed by Locke, but that was absolutely impossible.

Even Rhaenys wasn't confident she could kill Bronya Peters in such a short time, unless she was a demigod.

Bronya Peters was stopped, most likely by that demigod-level necromancer.

"No."

The original body has met Bronya Peters. What does that have to do with my clone?

Ming spoke honestly, and Renis breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he wasn't lying.

If Locke's abilities could truly kill a high-ranking witch instantly, then he would be a terrifying existence for me as well.

"Then how did you know Her Majesty the Queen would arrest you?"

"I don't think you would let me hide for no reason. Besides, you also removed me from my position as captain. Unless I'm out of my mind, I should be able to figure out that there's a problem with Her Majesty the Queen. The Director has always been very satisfied with me."

He was eloquent and persuasive.

Renis glanced at him. 'Who said I've always been satisfied with you? What an overconfident man.'

"No, you have no choice. Tell me all the clues you know, and I can temporarily keep you in the Bureau of Investigation's prison and prevent Her Majesty's people from taking you away, but I cannot guarantee your freedom."

Renis said,

"Of course, this is meaningless to you, because if the main body dies, you will naturally die as well. So the important thing is to make sure your main body is well hidden."

“Um… okay, I do know a little bit about that necromancer… He awakened the terrible weather witch Antonia, and he claims to be a follower of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez, and has received the blessing of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez. He is an extremely terrifying being.”

Renis could tell that Locke's clone wasn't lying, so when she heard the name of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez, her eyes glazed over briefly, as if her mind had been stimulated.

Only a witch knows how terrifying the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez is.

She was a fearsome being, the one most likely still alive among the twelve ancient witches.

If it really is the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez, then things become complicated.

The only way to communicate with Him is through "The Witch's Revelation," but the whereabouts of this book remain unknown.

Looking at the shocked Renis, Ming was once again convinced of the formidable power of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez.

Just one name is enough to turn our imposing director into this. If he were to see the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez in person, wouldn't he be begging for mercy on his knees?

"Chief, but I can't guarantee that these clues are true. Maybe it's just that necromancer bluffing. I clearly saw him, but he didn't kill me. Maybe he can't even beat me. He's just a paper tiger."

Ming said this.

This is a language trap.

You know perfectly well that I'm lying, but you don't know why I'm lying.

Is the lie a way to boast, or a way to hide something else?

But they all had the same goal: to deepen Rhaenys's impression of that demigod necromancer.

Sure enough, when Rhaenys heard Locke say that a demigod wizard was no match for him, her expression changed instantly.

It's like watching someone with an intellectual disability.

"He didn't kill you because he wanted you to live and deliver a message to us, to tell us that he is a follower of the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez."

"It seems the original body was too confident."

The two chatted casually in the carriage and soon arrived at the Bureau of Investigation.

Meanwhile, Locke himself was already drinking with Uncle Martin in the Peach Tavern.

"Uncle Martin, let's lay our cards on the table."

“Then I’m going to play my card, a pair of 3s.”

"I'm sorry."

"Then you lose."

Locke and Uncle Martin are playing "Witch Fighting," a card game that's about 6% similar to Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). It's easy for Locke to pick up and play. It was invented by a nobleman who was obsessed with having fun, and it later spread throughout the country, becoming a popular game.

Locke used to play this card game with his friends in Pete Street.

"Great, Dad won!"

Kay clapped enthusiastically from the side. Although he was old enough to go to school, he still followed Uncle Martin around, even when Martin was on a mission, he always took him with him.

This made Locke suspect that Kay was either an experimental subject or a monster.

Strange things come in all shapes and sizes, so it shouldn't be surprising if it's a person, right?

Of course, the probability of him being an experimental subject is higher, because he once saved Kai's life, proving that Kai is very weak and could be killed even by an ordinary person.

This is consistent with the initial state of the experimental subject, and there is no essential difference between them and humans.

Just like the original owner, who was on the verge of death due to a serious illness, but was ultimately saved by Bud Bemon and Joan Mancini using an evil ritual.

Well, to be precise, they couldn't be saved.
