Locke knew that the fat man Hannah was talking about was Lloyd.

"Without exposing Lloyd's true colors, Hannah will never be able to return to journalism and fulfill her dream."

"Okay, do you believe in the orthodox Goddess of Life, or the God of Destiny who always wants to steal the power of the Goddess of Life?"

Erin squinted her eyes and looked at Locke. If he was lying, she could tell immediately by the color of his soul.

Although Locke knew little about occult knowledge, he still understood basic religious knowledge. The goddess of life is the righteous god, but the god of destiny is called the evil god. The Destiny Sect was expelled 20 years ago.

The Kingdom of Tumen only recognizes the existence of the goddess of life and the god of alchemy, and other religions and gods are called cults and evil gods.

There are relevant records that many years ago the Destiny Cult tried to use tens of thousands of people to perform bloody sacrifices in an attempt to awaken their God of Destiny. Unfortunately, they were reported and discovered in time, preventing the tragedy from happening.

Therefore, the reputation of the Destiny Sect has always been very poor. Some people even say that the people of the Destiny Sect are all lunatics with suicidal tendencies.

When Erin asked herself this, she most likely suspected that she was a cultist of the Destiny Sect.

Because true members of the Life Sect will hang a leaf pendant around their necks and pray before meals to represent their devout beliefs.

Hannah and Locke obviously didn't.

Suspected to be a follower of the evil god, Locke was innocent;

"If you are willing to be my teacher in the field of mysticism, I wouldn't mind telling you."

"Teacher? Haha, that's a nice thought. You are my servant who signed a 100-year contract."

Erin raised her head proudly.

She would never teach an ordinary person in vain.

"All right."

Locke shrugged helplessly.

"They are all cultists after all. Are you interested in changing your beliefs?"

Erin continued to ask.

Locke looked at Erin suspiciously.

"The mysterious being who has been paying attention to me noticed you when we exchanged bodies. He is very interested in you and asked me to ask you if you are willing to be his agent in this world."

Erin's cat face suddenly became serious.

Locke felt chills running down his spine. He never expected that he would be noticed by the evil god after exchanging bodies with Irene once!

Chapter 42, Gift of Destiny

Although I don’t know who the person behind Irene is, the god who needs to sacrifice his life to become stronger is definitely the evil god, not far different from the God of Destiny.

If I agree, does that count as selling my soul?

There is no difference between evil gods and demons here in Locke.

If I can feed a witch and gain superpowers, what kind of evil god should I believe in?

"I'm sorry, I can't believe in Him. My faith in myself is unbelievable."

Erin narrowed her eyes and realized that he was not lying.

At the same time, she was relieved.

She was really worried about Locke agreeing, because she only borrowed that person's power and made a deal with that person, and at best she was considered a peripheral believer.

If Locke became that person's representative, wouldn't his status be above his own?

How could she feel comfortable letting Locke be her servant?

Before Hannah and Locke left the cemetery, they said goodbye to Wayna's father and brother.

"Uncle Yuli, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and give an explanation to Wei Na."

"Weina...didn't she commit suicide?"

Yuli Bould's hands trembled slightly and the pipe fell to the ground. Ari immediately bent down to pick up the pipe for his father.

"There must be some reason behind this."

Hannah said firmly.

In fact, Yuli Bould didn't want to believe that Wei Na left so suddenly without leaving a single word.

"Thank you, Hannah, for being a true friend to Wayna."

"Ari, please take good care of Uncle Yuli."

"I will, Sister Hannah."

Seeing the scene of Hannah, Locke, and a cat and a dog about to leave, the sad Yuli Bould suddenly reacted. He stretched out his hand and shouted loudly,

"Jerry! Come back!"

"Why did Jerry follow Hannah and Locke?"

Ai Rui also looked puzzled, but still quickly chased after him and held his big golden retriever.

Yuli Bould, who was originally very grateful to Hannah and Locke, now felt quite complicated.

Of course, he did not blame Hannah, but put all the responsibilities on Locke, who was not doing his job properly.

'Damn Locke, not only did he beat the children, he even wanted to kidnap my dog. ’

He glanced at Locke resentfully.

Locke felt a chill on the back of his neck. It seemed that this old retired prison guard had murderous intentions for him.

Erin was picked up by Locke, and the dog regained his freedom. He jumped into Ari's arms and kept licking Ari, making his face covered with his saliva to express his gratitude to him for saving her. Feelings.

They left the cemetery and returned to Old Tom's apartment to exchange information about each other's investigations.

"Valeria doesn't want to admit it. I have to understand her. She has a warm family. If her husband knew about this, it would affect her marriage. I was too naive."

Hannah said dejectedly.

"It's okay, Hannah, Ledo Campbell gave us two good clues."

Locke told Hannah about Kara and Nadi's encounter with Lloyd's murderous hands and about Lloyd's mistress Shelia.

Hannah looked at Locke in surprise;

"Is this really what Ledo Campbell said?"

In Hannah's perception, Ledo Campbell is a person with an indifferent personality. She doesn't like this person and thinks that he simply regards being a reporter as a job instead of his faith and mission.

Unexpectedly, Ledo Campbell would reveal so many useful clues to Locke this time.

Locke did not tell Ledo Campbell that he liked Hannah. He did not want Hannah to have anything to do with this timid and timid man.

"Let's go, let's investigate now."

Hannah couldn't wait. She still preferred to find out the truth of the matter than to find a job.

"Well, let's split up. You go ask these two ladies, and I'll go find the mistress named Shelia to learn about the situation. I believe she definitely knows some of Lloyd's secrets."

Locke said.

Hannah shook her head and rejected Locke's proposal.

"No, I'll investigate this matter myself. You don't want to get involved."

"Hannah, this is not your business alone. This is our family matter."

Locke said suddenly.

Hannah was slightly startled, "Why?"

"Because Lloyd spread rumors everywhere, saying that you created fake news, which damaged your reputation and caused you to not be able to find a job; if you couldn't find a job, our family had no income, and my life became difficult. "So this matter is our family matter, and only by solving Lloyd's problem can our family's situation get better."

Locke said seriously.

Hannah actually thought what he said made sense.

She nodded slightly and said,

"If you encounter danger, stop the investigation immediately and leave the follow-up matters to me, you know?"

"Don't worry, there is no danger in investigating a woman."

Locke blinked.

Hannah put on her coat and went out again, heading in the direction of Kara's house.

After Locke finished feeding Irene, he also planned to go to the Woolf Senior Apartment on Sycamore Street in the East District.

It's just that I need to walk for several hours to reach Wutong Street in the East District. Who knows that I have no money to pay the coachman to cross the Trey Bridge?

"How long will it take to end such poverty?"

Locke muttered silently to himself.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the blond Miss Lucy, who looked as delicate as a doll.

Today, Lucy wore a long black ruffled skirt, paired with a simple brown wool jacket, and a black gauze bowler hat on her head, showing elegance and dignity in a low-key manner.

She raised her right hand and was about to knock on the door. When she saw Locke, she showed a surprised expression.

Behind her is the middle-aged bodyguard in a black windbreaker and top hat.

The bodyguard also carried a black leather box in his hand. Even if the box was not opened, the keen black cat had already smelled Mick's scent.

"Are you... Locke Belmont?"

Lucy asked hesitantly. She remembered Locke, the boy who was hit by a car last time but claimed that he was fine.

Locke nodded slightly, "Yes, Miss Lucy, why are you here?"

"I am very sorry. I am a temporary representative of Compass Drinking Water Company and I am here to apologize and compensate the affected residents in the West End."

Lucy said sincerely, holding up the hem of her skirt and bowing deeply.

The middle-aged bodyguard accompanying him opened his suitcase and took out two thick stacks of rice. With a serious expression on his face, he handed the money to Locke without saying a word.

"Because you have only used it for a short time, we will compensate you 2,000 grams. Please don't mind. If you have any other difficulties, please let us know in time."

Lucy said apologetically.

In order to help her uncle gain the understanding of the citizens of the West District these days, she has traveled to many places, received a lot of looks and abuse, and even encountered gangsters who wanted to tear her apart.

But they were all solved by the strong and powerful bodyguard behind her.

Looking at the worried Lucy, Locke cautiously took the 2,000 grams.

Every time she encountered financial difficulties, Miss Lucy always appeared in time and generously took out colorful rice.

In gratitude for this gift of fate, Locke asked,

"Miss Lucy, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chapter 43, Shoulders of Giants

Lucy took out a letter of understanding, which many residents in the West District had chosen to sign. In fact, the compensation given by Lucy was much higher than the compensation for the factory accident.

The Kingdom of Tumen has a legal requirement that for large-scale public safety incidents like this, as long as more than half of the victims' families sign a letter of understanding, the main person responsible can be exempted from some responsibilities.

In the case of Uncle Lucy Compass, as long as he gets a letter of understanding, he can change the death penalty to a suspended death sentence, or even indefinitely. The best case scenario is that everyone signs the letter of understanding, then he will most likely only be sentenced to 20 -30 years.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. My uncle Compass did such a thing. I know it's hard to forgive, but please believe me, he was just negligent. The people below him must have accepted bribes for such a thing to happen. , My uncle Compas is a kind man. Even if his cat dies, he will be sad for a year. He cannot be the kind of person who ignores the safety of drinking water for financial gain. Please give him a chance. Give it a chance.”

Lucy never thought about how her kind-hearted uncle could be involved in such a thing. She believed that her uncle would not be the kind of black-hearted capitalist who was unscrupulous for profit and had no regard for the life and death of the people as mentioned in the newspaper.

She didn't want Compass to be sentenced to death for this, and she didn't want to lose her uncle.

But she also knew the seriousness of the matter. The Baker family was now like being roasted on a fire rack. Her current behavior was very risky.

Maybe the reporters from the newspaper would smell it and make big news again.

Locke chose to believe the generous Miss Lucy. After all, she didn't look like a person who was full of lies.

What if Compass was controlled by a superpower like Miss Witch who could manipulate others?

This incident was obviously not a simple accident of the drinking water company, so it was possible that Compass was also a victim.

"Thank you, thank you."
