Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Hannah, where did you get the charcoal?"

Locke asked in surprise.

Hannah wiped the stains on her face and said with a smile,

"After you went out, Old Tom's nephew Reed came to sell charcoal door to door. Because it was very cheap, I bought some."

Locke immediately thought of Reed's long, horse-like face. At thirty years old, he still had no partner and was always courting his sister.

He also bribed himself in the hope that he could convince his sister to marry him and become his full-time wife.

After Hannah lost her job, Reed was probably the happiest person. He always thought that Hannah would beg him because of the financial crisis, but unfortunately Hannah never asked him once.

This time he suddenly came to sell charcoal door-to-door, and I'm afraid he only gave a discount to Hannah.

Locke guessed this, feeling the temperature in the room rising little by little, and nodded with satisfaction,

"It seems that Reed is not useless, at least he is a conscientious charcoal salesman."

"If we all find jobs, we can buy more charcoal and we won't be cold all winter."

Hannah said with a smile.

Locke nodded slightly, "Yes, I believe you will soon see charcoal piled up in the corners of the apartment."

Hannah suddenly put her hands on her hips and looked at Locke dissatisfied,

"I saw you sleeping on the floor last night, Locke, how could you stop sleeping on the sofa because you dislike Xiao Ai staying on the sofa?!"

Chapter 23, "We need to hurry up!"

Do I dislike Miss Witch?

No, no, no, how dare I dislike Miss Witch? She obviously occupies the sofa and is unwilling to share it with me.

Locke cursed.

When Irene wasn't paying attention, Hannah hugged the black cat into her arms and looked at Locke seriously.

"Xiao Ai will sleep with me tonight. You can sleep well on the sofa, do you hear me?"

"ok, I get it."

But Locke had no objection to this. In short, Miss Witch and Hannah were both women, so there was no big problem sleeping together. Moreover, he already missed the smell of the sofa, and the floor was too hard.

Irene had a cat face and looked at Locke with dull eyes.

Locke took out a piece of sweet potato cake from his arms and handed it to Irene.

Erin took the bribe with her furry paws and reluctantly nodded the cat's head.

At night, Locke returned to his warm sofa, while Erin and Hannah shared the not-so-soft single bed.

Erin curled up on Hannah's head. Because Hannah had enough hair, she felt more comfortable than staying on Locke's head.

When Locke slept until midnight, he vaguely noticed a cat's paw patting his face.

He opened his eyes and found Irene's blue vertical pupils staring at him unblinkingly.

Locke, who almost screamed, immediately covered his mouth with his hands, sat up from the sofa, and lowered his voice and said,

"Miss Witch, do you want to scare me to death about inheriting my 400-meter inheritance?"

Erin's eyes flashed with disdain, contempt and contempt.

The risk of harm is small, but it is extremely insulting.

Locke pulled the blanket covering his body, "You are not influenced by the black stone and want to do something to me, are you?"

Eileen still maintained her disdain, contempt and contempt.

"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, why did you wake me up in the middle of the night? It can't be because you are hungry again, right?"

Locke said impatiently.

Erin stretched out her black cat claws and threw the necklace to Locke.

Through the white moonlight flowing into the room through the window, Locke saw clearly that the stone on the necklace changed from black to red, and had a gem-like luster.

"I didn't make it clear during the day. This strange object can not only greatly increase the charm of the bearer, but also make the bearer eventually die of desire, absorbing the souls of the bearer and the contaminated. The more souls absorbed, the more the stone The color will also be darker.”

"Then why did it turn red?"

Locke asked confused.

"Because I have absorbed the soul power contained in the stone and purified it. Now it belongs to you."

Irene raised her head proudly like a servant of mercy,

"I'm a cat and it looks weird wearing this."

Is this why it was thrown to me?

"don't want."

Locke refused flatly, "I don't want to be dominated by any desire, nor do I want to be watched by so many people."

"Stupid servant, I have purified it. Now the function of this strange object is only to enhance your charm. Unless you have a very strong obsession, it will stimulate it and infinitely amplify your charm ability."

"My current charm is pretty good."

Locke felt good about himself, but still hung the necklace around his neck, "Is this a gem or an ordinary crystal?"

"snort."

The arrogant Erin ignored Locke and returned to Hannah's room on brisk cat steps.

Locke decided to wear this strange thing to find a job tomorrow. If he was still rejected, it would prove that it was completely useless.

The next morning, the first thing Locke did when he got up was no longer to make breakfast, but to do a set of radio gymnastics.

【Body coordination 10/1000】

After doing exercises, go into the kitchen to make breakfast.

When Hannah woke up, she found fragrant beef noodles on the table, and Locke was still doing strange movements.

Locke was already doing his second set of broadcast gymnastics, ranging from stretches to jumps.

Despite his strange movements, Hannah found that she couldn't open her eyes.

It felt like there was a hazy halo surrounding Locke, as if he was a prince who stepped out of a fairy tale.

Hannah remembered the stories her mother told her during her childhood, and recalled the image of the prince riding a white horse walking on a thorny road to save the princess.

Just as she was thinking wildly, the black cat Irene had finished eating her beef noodles and reached out to her noodles.

【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】

[Randomly obtain an ability of the witch]

【Getting it now...】

[Acute hearing: Your hearing has been improved. You can clearly hear what others are talking about within a range of 100 meters. 】

[Road to advancement: After hearing 1,000 secret conversations, you can be upgraded to a secret peeper]

[Secret Peeper: Able to hear other people's voices and thus understand the secrets in their hearts. 】

Locke, who was brushing up on his body coordination proficiency, looked at Erin nervously when he saw the system prompt.

Doesn’t she already possess the power of [Peeper of Secrets]?

That means you can read my thoughts and thoughts at any time!

Then doesn’t she also know that I have a system?

Damn it! terrible!

No, I have to try. What if she just has [acute hearing]?

With a tentative mind, Locke mentally began to greet Witch Irene's relatives, friends, and grandparents.

In the end, it was discovered that Eileen was unmoved.

He was relieved. It seemed that Irene did not have the ability of [Peeping Secrets].

Snapped--

Hannah gently patted the black cat's paw with her hand,

"Xiao Ai, you can't be so greedy. If you are so small, you will accumulate food if you eat too much."

Hannah's reason overcame her fantasy and she started eating noodles.

"Locke, you look different today."

Hannah said sincerely after finishing her noodles.

"It's different? What's different?"

Locke, who had raised his body coordination proficiency to 12, sat at the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with a smile.

Hannah swallowed, "Anyway, don't smile at others after going out, especially young girls."

"?"

Locke looked at Hannah confused.

Hannah stretched out her hand and pinched Locke's face, "You can't act recklessly just because you are handsome. The current situation of our family is completely unable to support a healthy marriage. When my sister finds a job, I will save money for you for 5 years. , it will take at least 5 years for you to find a lady."

"?"

Locke looked at his sister Hannah in confusion, not understanding what nonsense she was thinking.

But one thing is certain, that is, my charm has really increased.

After eating breakfast, Locke and Hannah walked towards the hospital where Enzo was located. They passed a newsstand on the way and bought a copy of the Kosolk Morning News for 1 mk.

The headline in the morning newspaper was "500 civilians gathered in the West District City Square to dance strangely until they died of exhaustion!" 》

Locke and Hannah looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

The victims they saw before were "dancing" in the square of Pate Block. The West End City Square is a square five times larger than the Pate Block Square, and the number of people last time was far less than 500.

"We need to hurry up!"

Chapter 24, Weird Investigation Bureau

Locke and Hannah came to the hospital again, and after paying Enzo 10 grams and a pack of York cigarettes, they took the second test.

The water quality test results still showed that heavy metals exceeded the standard and contained a large amount of mercury.

"This time it is certain that the sewage discharged by the Laszlo Alchemy Factory polluted the Sisi River."

Hannah clenched her fists and planned to write the report when she got back.

As for Compass Drinking Water Company, there is no need to investigate. The two water quality inspection results can explain everything.

Their company's water purification device must be substandard, and it even only performs simple dust removal, deodorization, and color removal.

In order to let the neighbors see the truth as soon as possible and not place their hopes on the church, Hannah rushed home and started writing.

Locke went next door to visit Mrs. Armor and her family.

At this time, Liqi, who was slumped on the bed, had woken up and was moaning in pain. Her hands and feet kept moving, as if she couldn't control herself.

"Mom, mom, Lisa, Lisa, kill me, I'm in so much pain."

Lisa hugged her sister Liqi tightly, her eyes were red, and she kept praying, "God of life, please save Liqi, save Liqi."

Mrs. Armor frowned, "Lisa, let's go to church again. The priest will definitely be able to help us."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Lisa nodded while crying, the sound of sobs and moisture filling the small space.

A knock on the door interrupted the communication between mother and daughter.

Mrs. Armor walked to the door and carefully opened it a crack. When she saw the familiar Locke, she opened the door slowly and let him in.

"Mrs. Armor, Hannah and I conducted an investigation into recent events..."

Locke told Mrs. Armor the truth and the symptoms of the victims in Old Joel's apartment, and then described the news this morning to Mrs. Armor.
