Becoming a god by raising witches

Upon hearing Renis mention these three things, the investigators' expressions changed slightly.

This news is no less shocking than hearing that the chief and Locke were having sex.

"Chief, aren't we short-staffed?"

Sieg asked timidly.

Renis nodded. "Yes, we are indeed few in number, so the church will send people to investigate. We will just assist them."

boom--

While everyone was still in the meeting, a loud explosion was heard outside the window.

The clock tower in Kosalk collapsed with a crash.

The Church of Knowledge said they were going to bomb the Alchemy Church, and the Alchemists were on high alert, but their church remained undamaged.

However, just when they thought the Church of Knowledge was only bluffing, the clock tower in the eastern part of Kosork collapsed.

The clock tower collapsed, and the children playing in the square and the elderly reading newspapers and sunbathing were all affected.

"Chief, should we go rescue them?"

Robson asked nervously.

"Of course, but besides saving people, your most important task is to find the Knowledge Church members hiding behind the scenes and prevent a second explosion."

"Renes commanded."

"Yes, Director!"

All the investigators were mobilized, including the distraught Angela.

Since Dimo wasn't there, Angela followed behind Locke.

"Angela, cheer up!"

Locke patted her on the shoulder.

"Yes, I understand, Locke."

Angela nodded and began to command the insects to act.

Sieg drew his longsword, which transformed into two vines that quickly extended and bound the falling clock tower.

Boyd chanted a spell, creating a protective shield that stopped the falling rocks from the sky.

Locke then used his long hair to tie up the playing children and led them out.

Robson, who had grown from a cute little boy into a three-meter-tall giant, rushed into the clock tower to rescue people.

The investigators worked together seamlessly and quickly resolved the clock tower crisis.

The citizens in the square were stunned, not only by the collapsed clock tower, but also by the extraordinary power suddenly used by the senior sheriffs.

"what--"

Screams echoed all around, and some people even fainted on the spot.

Sieg helped a woman up. “Don’t worry, beautiful lady. We are investigators protecting the city, not heretics.”

Upon seeing the tall and imposing Sieg, the elegantly dressed lady breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, you are truly a gentleman of noble character."

"You're welcome."

Sieg put her down and said gently.

Then his skin cracked.

The elegantly dressed woman screamed and fainted instantly.

"Ugh, how did this damn tree-man image suddenly appear?"

Sieg discovers that his body is uncontrollably beginning to mutate.

Other investigators also discovered the same situation.

Even Locke's hair is getting longer and longer, and he's starting to resemble Rapunzel from Disney.

"How is this going?"

"The power is out of control."

Angela's hair was covered with butterflies, and insects kept approaching her.

Locke frowned. "Angela, are you about to lose control?"

"Huh? Me? No, I'm perfectly calm."

Angela said earnestly.

After everyone was rescued, the clock tower inevitably collapsed.

The citizens in the square stopped screaming and began to blame and even curse at each other, and they even started fighting.

Shops were looted, and the streets were in chaos.

A strong sense of malice is infecting everyone in the square.

Is it a strange object?

Sig, who had transformed into a tree-man, asked.

“I’m starting to get anxious, I need to get out of here.”

Boyd forced back the urge to cry and turned to leave.

“I have to leave too. I feel that if I stay here, I will hurt ordinary people.”

As Robson spoke, he also rushed in the opposite direction of the clock tower.

"Locke, this place is strange. Let's go back to the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations."

Sieg suggested.

"Okay, you take Angela back first, I need to find the source."

Locke had a premonition that if the root of the problem wasn't found and the crowd wasn't left to fend for itself, they would become increasingly frenzied and eventually escalate into a mass riot.

Of course, this was also his initial goal: to distract Katerina and create chaos within the Knowledge Church behind Martin.

However, Locke still felt a sense of self-blame and guilt when he saw ordinary people being involved.

Unlike Her Majesty the Queen, he could not completely disregard death, watch innocent people lose their lives without a second thought, or even feel that such sacrifices were necessary.

Locke searched everywhere and finally found a familiar figure in an alley near the clock tower.

He had freckles on his face, wore a worn-out vest covered in dust, and had a familiar face.

It's Kai.

Kai is devouring the kindness of those around him, driving them mad and dangerous.

At this rate, it won't be long before the imperfect experimental subject, Kai, collapses.

However, the collapse might trigger an even greater disaster.

Locke knew he had to stop him.

"Kai, what are you doing here?"

Locke slowly walked to Kay's side.

The boy, Kai, looked up at Locke with confused eyes. "Brother Locke, I don't know. Dad told me to wait for him here. I feel very hungry. I want to eat something. Brother Locke, I'm so hungry."

"Kai, I have bread at home. Shall I take you home?"

Locke reached out his hand.

Kai shook his head. "No, Dad told me I have to wait for him here. I can't go anywhere unless he shows up."

"Uncle Martin is at my house. Come on, I'll go with you to find him."

Locke used a combination of coaxing and deception.

Kai shook his head again, "No, Brother Locke, don't lie to me. Dad said that no one but him can take me away."

boom--

Angela knocked Kai unconscious from behind with a brick.

"What a long-winded guy."

Locke gave her a thumbs up.

"Where are we taking him now?"

Angela asked.
