Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Father, why?"

Locke was slightly stunned.

"I can't feel your piety to the goddess."

Buster replied.

"Father Buster, I decided to believe in the goddess of life from today. I am ashamed of my past ignorance. Please accept me."

Locke had just finished speaking when a green bud emerged from the ground of the confessional. The green bud quickly grew into a vine, and the leaves of the vine hit Locke's forehead forcefully.

Locke felt dizzy and was hit five or six times before he could react.

"The goddess doesn't believe what you said."

Buster said lightly.

"The goddess must have some misunderstanding about me."

Locke touched his swollen face and suspected that the goddess didn't know the common sense of not hitting people in the face.

He just had this idea and his butt was whipped.

"Okay, how can the goddess believe me?"

"Come to the Church of Life to pray for three consecutive months, and I will help you lift your curse."

Buster said.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Locke suspected that the church had a way to force people to believe, but for the sake of his life, he chose to accept it.

Anyway, he was about to join the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, and was considered half a church member, and he would inevitably be with the Cathedral of Life. If he could hold the thigh of the goddess, wouldn't it be better?

As soon as he had this idea, he looked at the vines around him vigilantly.

The vines didn't move, probably agreeing with his idea of ​​​​putting himself in the arms of the goddess.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

Father Bast took Locke out of the confessional and said apologetically to the remaining female believers,

"Today's confession ends here, everyone can come again tomorrow."

The two female believers could only sigh and leave.

Sieg immediately came up, "How is it?"

"The priest wants to take me to remove the curse."

Locke said, following the footsteps of Father Bast, quickly left the first floor hall, and walked from the first floor to the top floor along the stairs built by trees and vines.

Sieg also followed.

The three of them came to the purification room on the top floor together.

The dome of the purification room is made of colored glass, and the walls on the left and right are made up of countless small grid cabinets. Various bottles and jars are placed in the grids, which contain dried flowers, essential oils and animal fluids.

Buster began to prepare the materials needed for the purification ceremony.

He took out several bottles of essential oils with mysterious fragrance, and took out alfalfa flowers, hyacinths, daisies, snowdrops, and calla lilies from the jars, which symbolize life.

Just as Buster was preparing, Locke heard a dull sound that seemed to come from deep underground.

-----------------

Chapter 65, What did you do?

Locke listened carefully to the sound underground, and suddenly felt a tingling in his eardrums, his brain went blank, and he lost consciousness for a short time.

When he woke up again, he found that Buster and Sieg were around him.

"What did you do?"

Buster asked seriously.

"I didn't do anything."

Locke replied that if he said he heard the sound underground, it would most likely expose his ability of [acute hearing], so he chose to conceal it.

"Could it be the cause of the curse?"

Sieg asked.

Buster stood up silently and put the prepared essential oils and dried flowers into a silver vessel.

Let Locke sit on a cushion.

The colorful glass on the roof projected colorful light, reflecting Locke's face and body.

Locke felt that Buster was not as unkind as Sieg and the black-haired director said, and he didn't know if it was because of Weina's father.

However, Buster's attitude towards Sieg was indeed cold.

"How long have I been unconscious just now?"

Locke asked Sieg on the side.

Sieg raised five fingers, "About five minutes."

"Keep quiet, don't make annoying noises like a fly. If you affect me again, please take your companions away immediately."

Buster said to Sieg, and Sieg immediately covered his mouth, indicating that he would not make any sound.

Buster put the candle next to Locke and formed a circle.

In addition to this circle of small candles, there were three long candles in front of Locke.

The longest one in the middle, and the ones on the sides were slightly shorter.

Sieg retreated silently, withdrawing 4 meters away.

Buster lit the candles around him, leaving only the three in front of Locke.

He also lit the dried flowers and essential oils in the silver vessel, and the fragrance instantly enveloped the entire purification room.

Buster began to chant the ancient spell facing the direction of the Tree of Life.

"Great Mother of All Living Things,

Mother of the Earth,

Creator of Life,

Founder of Chaos and Order,

I ask you to contact me and give me the power of purification to remove the curse for your lost believers."

Locke swallowed his saliva. He was familiar and unfamiliar with this language.

He remembered that when Irene exchanged bodies, she seemed to use this kind of awkward and obscure language.

Just after Buster finished chanting the spell, the candle in front of Locke suddenly lit up.

A vine broke through the stained glass of the dome, fell from the sky, and wrapped Locke. The vine had suction cups like octopus tentacles, and began to absorb the curse power from Locke.

It feels like countless small fish are kissing your body, similar to a full body spa.

Locke felt comfortable.

The green color on his skin gradually faded away, and his complexion returned to normal.

Suddenly, the system pops up the panel.

[The Tree of Life is trying to parasitize you, please choose whether to accept it. 】

【yes. 】

【no. 】

Locke was stunned for a moment and decisively chose no.

Who wants to be parasitized by the tree of life!

When Locke chose No, Shuteng instantly shrank back as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Buster frowned, he had never encountered this situation before.

"what have you done?"

Buster asked again.

Locke shook his head, "I didn't do anything."

"Could it be that the curse is too strong?"

Sigur came over and said seriously.

Buster shook his head,

"Foolish, the curse has basically been removed, and the remaining residual power is at best giving him nightmares these days."

"Then will I die in my dream?"

Locke asked nervously.

"Won't."

Buster didn't seem to like Locke, an ungodly believer. Looking at the three candles in front of Locke that were never lit, he fell into deep thought.

While thinking, he packed up the props left behind by the ceremony.

Sigurd was asking about Locke's situation.

"How is it? Do you feel like your body and mind are being purified, and you have to believe in the goddess forever?"

Locke looked at Sigurd doubtfully.

"Okay, if I didn't say that, take off the ring of sobriety now. If you don't feel sleepy, the curse should be lifted."

Sigurd prompted.

Locke nodded and took off the ring of sobriety numbered C111. The cool feeling dissipated and the surrounding temperature seemed to rise a bit, but he did not feel tired at all.

"Want to sleep?"

Sigurd asked worriedly.

"In no mood."

Locke answered, and saw from Sigurd's pupils that the 24-hour life bar above his head had been extended.

Visual estimate of 50 years.

"Great, this must be celebrated. Viscount Yevgeny's ball tonight is just the right time for my friend to regain his life."

Sigur leaned into Locke's ear and said, "There will be many beautiful ladies participating, which will definitely open your eyes."

"Thanks, but I've decided to go back and celebrate with my family."

Locke declined Sigurd's invitation. Sigurd thought about his current pig-headed image and shrugged.

"Okay, maybe today is not a good time, but you can't rush home yet. First, go with me to Mrs. Freya's place to register as a new person. You need to fill in a bunch of forms."

"Um."

Locke nodded and followed Sigurd to bid farewell to the serious Father Buster.

Buster completely ignored the two of them. It wasn't until Locke was about to go downstairs that he heard Buster's deep voice.

"Three months."

Locke knew that the priest was reminding himself that he must go to church to pray every three months.

"Okay, Father Buster, I'll remember that."

Locke and Sigurd left the Cathedral of Life together and walked back to the Sixth Sheriff Court.

Robson had just finished his induction and walked out of Mrs. Freya's office. He politely greeted the green-skinned Sigurd and Locke.

"Newcomers, don't leave in a hurry. I'll take you to visit the Sheriff's Court later."

Sigurd said with a smile.
