Becoming a god by raising witches

So she wasn't angry, but instead chose to help Locke.

"Have you seen Locke?"

Renis looked at Lux.

Lux shook her head. "I'm sorry, Director Renis, is there something you need from him? If I see this, I will pass it on to you. He goes to church to pray every day."

"Yes, when you see him, tell him to hide, preferably well."

Renis glanced at Lux's skirt, then turned and left.

"Okay, I will pass it on."

Lux said with a smile.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief, but he no longer had any intention of releasing Dimo.

With Renis here, there's no way he can get her out.

But meeting once shouldn't be a problem.

"Lux, take me to see Dimple."

"follow me."

Lux was a member of the task force and a nun at the church, so she knew where Dim was being held.

The two entered the underground prison of the Cathedral of Life, where heretics were imprisoned.

Locke met Dimo, and he looked at Lux.

“I want to interrogate him alone, Lux.”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

Lux said considerately.

Locke gave Lux a grateful look.

Dimo looked at his former colleagues with a bitter smile. "They don't serve alcohol here, which is terrible. They took away all my weird items. Now, the only thing keeping me alive is Angela. How is Angela?"

“She’s a good person. She wants me to get you out of here, but I can’t. Rhaenys is in the church right now.”

Locke simply explained his situation.

A hint of gratitude flashed in Dimo's eyes.

Of course, he didn't know that it was Locke who had reported him.

"Thank you, Locke, for believing in me at a time like this."

"Of course I know that we have always been partners, and we both believe that knowledge can change destiny."

Locke said with a burning gaze.

Dimo was stunned, disbelief flashing in his eyes. "You...you knew all along?"

"Yes, I read my father's diary and learned that we are all believers in the goddess of knowledge and wisdom. My sister Hannah and I share the same faith; we are all children of knowledge."

Locke said in a low voice, having completely won over Dimo's trust.

'It seems he's unaware that he and Hannah are experimental subjects, but Bard has molded him into a devoted follower of knowledge, which is good news for us.'

Thinking this to himself, Dimo ​​said to Locke,

“Angela is a special being. She possesses power you cannot imagine. If you kill me, her power will be unleashed.”

"What? You want me to kill you?"

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,
