Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Locke decided that he must follow Hannah for the next two months to protect her safety.

Even if there is any accident, it will definitely be avoided.

Hannah and Locke each ate a bowl of noodles and went out at the same time.

"Locke, you really don't have to follow me."

"I have read all the chef recruitment information in the newspaper recently. Whether it is a restaurant or a family interview, I have participated in them all, so I don't have any other interviews to go to now, so why not help you find a job first?"

Locke explained.

Hearing what Locke said, Hannah nodded helplessly.

The black cat was still sitting on his shoulder, yawning lazily.

Walking out of the apartment and onto Pater Street, Locke found that the life bars above the heads of the neighbors had become inexplicably shorter. The life bars were the same as Hannah's, or shorter, and some even lasted as short as 3 days.

Locke's frown deepened.

It’s not just Pater Street, it’s the same thing going out of Pater Street and Schitt Street.

Why is everyone's life suddenly shortened?

Locke looked at the yawning black cat on his shoulder and remembered that Irene had said that sacrificing her life to the mysterious existence would speed up her recovery.

Could it be Miss Witch? Did she steal everyone's life? !

Chapter 12. Pets are not allowed in the apartment, but you are an exception.

Locke saw that the life spans of people in the entire Pate neighborhood were inexplicably shortened. Thinking that Hannah was also in the same situation, he couldn't help but start to doubt the black cat on his shoulder, Miss Witch.

The witch lady, who is good at observing the color of the soul and sensing the state of the soul, immediately discovered the servant's dissatisfaction with her.

She narrowed her eyes and patted Locke's shoulder with her furry paws. Locke's right shoulder instantly felt severe pain, as if it had been hit by a brick, and it felt as if it was dislocated.

"You were dissatisfied with your noble master just now. Tell me, humble servant, what made you change?"

Locke bit his back molars and pushed back the dislocated shoulder. The pain made him scream out, attracting frequent side glances from the surrounding vendors and passers-by. Their eyes revealed numbness and confusion.

Locke felt his shoulders return to their original position, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked in a low voice,

"Miss Witch, I remember that in order to regain your strength, you need to absorb the lives of others, right?"

"oh?"

The smart witch lady narrowed her cunning eyes again,

"My humble servant, it seems that you are not as mediocre as you appear, and you have also mastered certain abilities in the realm of life."

Locke did not answer. Facing a witch girl who was countless times stronger than himself, who could save him even in a weak state, and who could dislocate his shoulder with a cat claw, there seemed to be no need to hide it.

But he couldn't admit in front of her that I plagiarized your ability.

"The shortened lifespan of these people has nothing to do with me at all."

The black cat raised his head proudly, expressing his disdain for this behavior, "However, I advise you to change to another water supply company, and it is best not to choose the water supply company in the West District."

Is it related to drinking water?

Locke remembered that the apartment had just changed its drinking water company not long ago, because the Compass Drinking Water Company introduced a very preferential policy, squeezing out the Cheval Water Company's market in the West District. Most of the apartments in the Pet Block used Compass. Water provided by drinking water companies.

Both companies are from the West District, and the water supply company in the East District charges four times that of the West District. A normal household's water consumption is 100 meters per month. Compass Drinking Water Company only charges 60 meters, while the East District Water Supply Company charges It costs 400 grams.

However, the East District is located upstream of the Kosol River, and the water supply company's purification technology is also better, so the water they provide is definitely cleaner.

If it is really related to drinking water, but because I am stingy with a little money and my family members get sick, it is definitely not worth the loss.

For the sake of Hannah's health, Locke gritted his teeth and walked into the East End Clarence Water Supply Company's store in the West End.

After paying the 50-meter service fee and making an appointment for the installation, he turned around and went home, waiting for the water company to come to service.

When I returned to Old Tom's apartment, I happened to meet the landlord, Old Tom, practicing the Lion Roaring Kung Fu in the corridor of the apartment.

"Damn troublemakers, gutter rats, rotten gamblers who lost all their underpants, if I find out who caused those bill collectors who were raised by prostitutes and hide in this cozy apartment of mine, I will I want to make him look good! I swear on the name of Tom’s family that I will definitely find these people and drive them out of the apartment!”

Locke swallowed, feeling a little guilty, feeling that it was not the right time to come back.

He ran into Old Tom who was coming down the stairs with a red face.

Old Tom has a signature red nose, wears an affordable tuxedo, a bowler hat, and a silver crutch in his hand. He is only as tall as Locke's shoulders.

When he saw Locke, his brow furrowed into an old newspaper,

"Loke, who is not doing his job properly, do you know who provoked the debt collection company?"

"Mr. Tom, it should be Clans who moved away not long ago. It is said that he owes a lot of gambling debts. Maybe the people from the debt collection company don't know that he has moved."

Locke was good at mixing truth with lies.

"Damn it, Clance Murdoch, I knew it was him! He was kicked out of me and he got me into trouble and ruined the reputation of the apartment!"

Old Tom came down cursing, and when he passed by Locke, he looked back at the cat on Locke's shoulder.

"Locke, if you don't go out to find the witch during the day, what are you doing back here?"

Haha, can everyone please stop talking about finding a witch?

Locke pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth and said,

"I want to change a water supply company to Clarence Water Supply Company in the East District. Their advertisement was published in the newspaper. It is said that the drinking water has a sweet taste."

When Old Tom heard the word "East District", a smile appeared on his serious face.

He had previously suspected that Hannah and Locke had offended the debt collection company. Now that he heard that they actually had the money to change the drinking water company, or Clarence Company in the East District, he instantly dispelled his doubts.

"That is indeed a good water supply company. Our family drinks their water."

"Okay, when the installers come to the door for service, I will tell them that Mr. Tom recommended it to me."

Locke said with a smile.

Old Tom was in a better mood. Clarence Company has recently launched a business of bringing new customers. If an old customer brings a new customer, he can get a 20% discount on drinking water in the second year.

He patted Locke on the shoulder and said amiably, "Pets are not allowed in the apartment, but you are an exception."

"Thank you, Mr. Tom, she is not my pet, she is my owner."

Locke's words made Old Tom laugh out loud. He held his stomach and laughed for 60 seconds without any image, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Hahaha, little Locke, you are still as humorous as before. Next time I will buy you a drink, and you tell me the story of Miss Witch."

Old Tom nudged Locke with his elbow and winked.

The two had obviously switched from the identities of indifferent landlord and humble tenant to friends, and the distance had been shortened in just 2 minutes.

Locke said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Tom, but if we change the water company, we may add a separate water pipe to the apartment. You won't mind, right?"

If the apartment has an independent water supply device, the rent can be raised higher after the siblings leave. Old Tom calculated in his mind and said with a smile,

"Locke, this is also your home, you can renovate it."

"Thank you, Mr. Tom, you are the most considerate landlord."

"Haha, Locke, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Tom."

The two said goodbye, and Old Tom leaned on his crutches, humming a little song, and his figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.

He usually doesn't live in Old Tom's apartment, and has moved to the vicinity of Trey Bridge a long time ago.

It is said that Trey Bridge is the ladder for low-income people to move towards the middle class. Of course, some middle-class people are unwilling to go to the East District and choose to stay on the ladder. The reason is also very simple. In the West District, they are superior, but in the East District, they are just ants.

The people from Clarence Water Supply Company came to the apartment soon, connected a section of the water pipe from the public bathroom to the apartment, and installed the water outlet device with a metallic beauty.

Locke reported the referral of Old Tom, and the salesperson of the water supply company recorded it.

"Dear guest, if you choose other drinking water companies, you still need to pay the monthly drinking water bill. Whether it is weekly, monthly or quarterly payment, it is very troublesome. But our company uses the latest alchemy product, a fully automatic drinking water device. You only need to put in a meter to use water directly, 1 meter for 5 liters of water.

"If you need to move later, you can also notify us and move the machine directly to your new home..."

"If you don't understand anything, you can come to us directly."

"Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."

Locke didn't plan to tip, even though the salesperson looked at him eagerly.

After sending away the salesperson who didn't get a tip, Locke put a 1 meter coin into the square machine.

Turn on the faucet, and with the sound of the spring and gears clicking, water slowly flows out from the outlet.

Locke took a cup of cold water with a cup and took a sip. It felt like drinking a spring in a certain man's previous life.

"It's really a bit sweet."

Locke smacked his lips and took a cup for Miss Witch.

1 Mi Ke can produce 5 liters of water, and two cups of water are at most 500ml, so there is no need to continue to insert coins, and the machine can continue to produce water.

Irene ignored Locke and jumped directly on his head,

"Humble servant, have you found a serious problem?"

Chapter 13, Miss Witch's Prank

In a simple rental apartment.

The newly installed new drinking water device is emitting a silver metallic light. This is also the latest alchemical product used by Clarence Water Supply Company, called a fully automatic drinking water machine. Every spring and gear is shining in the sun, exuding the beauty of machinery.

Above the hexagonal drinking water machine is a dial meter that specifically records water consumption.

There is a coin slot in the middle. If you don't put in coins, the water will be cut off directly, which really saves Clarence Water Supply Company a lot of trouble.

While Locke was still admiring this iron lump, the witch lady suddenly asked,

"Humble servant, have you found a serious problem?"

"What problem?"

Locke asked doubtfully.

"Don't you think the place you live in is too shabby? It's totally unworthy of my identity as a witch. Why is the window broken? Why is the sofa so old? Why is there dust on the floor? Why is there no tablecloth on the table? Why is the kitchen..."

Irene asked more than 30 questions in one breath.

Locke couldn't help but frown.

When she first moved in, she had no complaints and was even willing to sleep on the old sofa.

Why are there problems everywhere now?

Is it because I suspected that the witch lady had sucked everyone's vitality before, and she is now taking revenge on me?

Miss Witch's revenge is really strong.

So, Locke didn't go anywhere today and cleaned the house all day.

From the living room to the kitchen, from the windows to the spider webs in the corners, they were all cleaned up, just like a big cleanup for New Year's Eve, no corner was left out.

The most important thing is that Miss Cat has to inspect it personally and give orders from time to time,

"No, there is still dust, do it again."

"Here, here, here, are your eyes growing on your butt?"

"Look, my claws can still leave marks, unqualified."...

Locke was so tired that he lay on the floor tiles that were scrubbed brightly, "Miss Witch, do you have mysophobia?"

"No, please call me your honorable master."

It's just a cat, arrogant, wait until the favorability reaches 100, I want you to wash the toilet a hundred times!

Locke muttered in his heart, but his hands and feet did not listen to him and were busy all the time.

When Hannah came back in the evening, she found that the house was brand new.

The rusty iron door has been completely cleaned, like a brand new door, and the floor of the apartment is as clean as if it was sprinkled with oil, emitting a faint halo under the afterglow of the sunset.

The dining table that was missing a corner now has four corners missing, but it looks like a new octagonal table.

The broken window glass has also been completely replaced with new glass, and there are no old newspapers stuck on it.

A clean blanket is spread on the old sofa, making it look more warm and tidy.
