Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Boyd, Sigurd has not yet investigated the case of the red shoes at the Rose Theater. It seems that it is more appropriate to leave this case to you. You don't have to shirk it. The Miss Jacqueline you have been longing for is right there. No." If I create opportunities for you, I’m afraid you’ll be single for the rest of your life.”

Rhaenys said calmly, with a look of majesty that cannot be challenged.

Boyd said sadly, "Yes, Director."

Locke believed that Boyd really wanted to cry this time, and that it was not his natural expression of depression that caused him to lose control of his facial emotions.

"Locke, why don't you go write a report?"

"Director, actually I thought that I still have something to do. I have two friends who are in trouble and are in urgent need of my help."

Locke was about to run away, but as soon as he turned around, he was pulled back by his own shadow.

Any shadow that betrays its master is not a good shadow.

Locke stomped on Shadow's feet hard, even though he knew it would do nothing.

"The report will be handed over to my office in half an hour. I don't want to say it a second time."

Rhaenys turned and left, leaving Locke with a handsome back.

Locke sighed, this time he was simply implicated by Boyd.

This guy doesn't have the brains to talk, how can he say that an older, marriageable woman will be single for the rest of her life?

Judging from its popularity, these shoes are definitely a must-have.

Boyd and Locke looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Locke, in order to express my apology, I would like to answer three more questions for you."

"I owe you for now. I haven't thought of it yet. If you are willing to write a report for me, I would be very grateful."

As soon as Locke finished speaking, Boyd had already quietly left with black tea and snacks, completely disregarding the friendship between his compatriots.

Locke could only immerse himself in writing the report, and after writing this one, he had to help Sigur write another one.

Half an hour later, Locke handed the report to Director Rhaenys' office.

"Director, here is the report. Here are the new snacks for you."

Locke presented the exquisite dessert.

Although she likes sweets, Rhaenys did not appear particularly happy. She just nodded lightly, picked up the report, and read it carefully.

"I will personally follow up on the case of the Thousand Faced Demon Spider. Since you like witches so much, the bureau just happens to have some old cases about witches piled up. After you and Boyd deal with the red shoes incident, you and Boyd will solve these cases as soon as possible. ”

Rhaenys pushed a thick stack of papers on the table.

Locke could only take these documents and look embarrassed.

"Director, Boyd and I are dealing with so many cases. Will there be too few manpower for the two of us?"

"Not much. If you think Boyd is in the way, I can let him handle other things."

"No, no."

Locke flipped through the papers;

"File 1561, Frieda saw a woman who was more beautiful than herself. She suspected that she was a witch because no one in the world was more beautiful than her, so she searched the whole city for this strange woman, but she couldn't find her at all. Proving that her intuition may be correct, Princess Frieda said that she is willing to pay a generous reward as long as she helps her find this woman."

"File 1658, 12 children are missing in the West District. A child-eating witch is suspected to have appeared. Please be sure to investigate the whereabouts of the ogre witch."

"File 1798. It has been raining continuously in Kosolk for a month. It is suspected that the weather witch has appeared. Please investigate the cause of the abnormal weather."

"Document 1851, Mrs. Philippa found that her husband Augusto was unwilling to be in love with her. Augusto guarded a cat every day, which made her suspect that it was a cat turned into a witch. Mrs. Philippa The cat was sent to the gallows, and Augusto committed suicide the next day. Please investigate the real cause of Augusto's death."

"File 1866, a large number of homeless people gathered in front of Rick's apartment in Pate Street. They were all attracted to a woman named Erica..."

Except that the first few are somewhat unreliable, some of the later documents do seem to be related to witches.

Locke recalled what Irene said, maybe finding the witch behind these cases could really help Irene become stronger.

Seeing Locke looking through the documents carefully, Rhaenys had a vague smile on her lips. She picked up the snack and took a bite. It was her favorite sweet taste.

【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】

【Getting it now...】

[Shadow clone: ​​You have a shadow clone. The shadow clone has an independent personality, but it is absolutely obedient to you. Its combat power is twice that of yours.

[Due to repeated ability extraction, proficiency +100]

[Shadow clone: ​​609/1000]

Locke raised his head when he heard the system beep and said slowly,

"Director, does my leave today still count?"

"Go ahead, the report is very detailed. Don't you still have two friends who need help?"

"Well, thank you, Director."

Locke breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

"etc."

Rhaenys stopped Locke and pointed to the documents on the table, "Take them all away, they are yours."

"Yes, Director."

Locke turned back and took away the thick documents.

There are 34 cases in total, and we don’t know which cases involve the real witch and which ones are mistakes.

…

"Look, he really likes the witch, don't you think about him? He's young and handsome, and his body looks great."

The owl stood on Rhaenys's shoulder and said in a mean tone,

"You don't really want to be single for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Can't you see that he is doubting me?"

Rhaenys grabbed the owl off her shoulder and pressed it on the table. Dark, rich shadows extended from all directions, wrapping around the owl.

The owl let out a desperate cry for help, but it was quickly lost in the shadows.

After a while, the owl with only half life left flew back to the birdcage.

…

Chapter 116, Busy Sheriff

Locke left the Abnormality Bureau and went home first, placing all the documents in front of Irene.

"Xiao Ai, look what I brought back to you?"

Erin raised her eyebrows slightly, "What is this? Are you treating this place as a trash can?"

Seeing that the cat owner was about to get angry, Locke opened the contents.

"Look, these are all cases involving witches. Didn't you say that you want me to use my connections with the Abnormal Bureau to find witches? I take your words to heart."

Erin squinted her eyes and looked at the contents of the file.

"I can't tell the truth from the false, but these are cases from a long time ago. It takes time to visit them. Is this a task given to you by your director?"

"Yes, it was the task given to me by Rhaenys."

"Did you do something weird?"

Erin asked.

"I asked Boyd about the Shadow Witch today."

Locke answered truthfully, "I happened to be hit by Rhaenys. Boyd said she would be single for the rest of her life, so she got me involved."

"It's not that he got you involved, it was you who got him involved. Rhaenys became suspicious. She wanted to use these cases to test you to see if you really have the ability to identify witches. If you really have this ability, you can Just wait to be silenced.”

Erin said calmly.

Locke was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this. He naively thought that Rhaenys was just going to give him little shoes.

"So, do you have the ability to identify witches?"

A human expression appeared on Black Cat's face.

Locke swallowed, "Are you kidding? How could I have that kind of ability?"

Haha, I won't trust any of you witches!

Locke cursed in his heart.

"That's good. For you now, having such an ability is not a good thing. It will only lead to disaster."

Erin said, flipping through the documents carefully.

"Then what should I do now? Aren't these cases handled?"

Locke asked.

"Haven't these cases been investigated by previous investigators? They couldn't find any results and left them alone. Why do you care? Of course, you still need to pretend for a while on the surface. After all, you still have a teammate Boyd. You can Just listen to him and check whatever he asks you to do.”

Eileen leisurely picked up a cup of black tea and said.

Locke suddenly remembered Boyd's face and nodded, "It is said that Boyd can not complete many investigation cases because his luck is always bad."

"As for me, I can go and find out the truth quietly first. If I really encounter a witch, I won't have anything to do with you."

Erin said calmly.

"Well, I hope you can recover soon."

Locke said, opening the door and preparing to go out again.

"where you go?"

"I'm going to the West End, um, to take care of Mrs. Armor's business, and by the way, I'm going to see an old friend. Today is my day off."

Locke said.

"Locke, although I know that you sympathize with the ants living at the bottom, I have to remind you that it will not be beneficial to anyone if you tell that matter."

Erin reminded.

Locke knew what Irene was saying, which was to warn him not to reveal the Queen's intention to start a war.

He nodded slightly, "I understand."

After bidding farewell to Irene, Locke took the tram to the Trey Bridge area, crossed the bridge in a carriage, and first went to the youth apartment to check on the progress of his old classmate Lebua Riddle's bicycle development. As expected of a mechanical genius, after Locke fully explained the concept of a bicycle, he had already produced a modern-style bicycle. Locke put forward some suggestions for improvement, and Lebua Riddle was enlightened and praised Locke again. Talent.

After leaving the Youth Apartment, Locke went to the Pate neighborhood, first going to Old Tom's apartment.

Mrs. Armor was still sewing clothes, and Locke sent two bags of flour and put them into Mrs. Armor's house.

"Locke, why are you so embarrassed? The price of food is very expensive now, and when food was still very cheap before, our family hoarded some."

Mrs. Armor put down the clothes in her hands and walked to Locke.

Li Qi and Lisa both looked at Locke shyly. They really had a crush on this handsome neighbor, especially after he moved out and a sloppy uncle lived next door, which made them miss Locke even more.

"I know Lucy from Baker's Bakery. I can get flour at a very low price. Don't be polite to me."

"Locke... Locke, I heard that you became a sheriff. Congratulations."

Lisa said hesitantly.

Liqi also said timidly, "Yes, yes, although many sheriffs are bad, I believe you must be a good sheriff."

She seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing and immediately covered her mouth.

Locke smiled at the two sisters, "Licke, it's great that you can get better, Lisa, did you go to school?"

"Yes, school, the school is very good."

Lisa said excitedly.

Mrs. Amore watched Locke communicate with her two daughters, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
