Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Will the problem of water pollution be related to this Laszlo Alchemy Factory?

However, it is not completely certain that the water source has been polluted. We must wait for the test results to come out.

In addition, the gate of the Laszlo Alchemy Factory is closed and will not be open to the public. The high barbed wire isolates the factory from the surrounding area. If you want to investigate the factory, you must go inside and find their wastewater treatment equipment and drainage outlets.

"Let's leave here first."

Locke reminded Hannah, Hannah nodded, and her eyes stayed on the Laszlo Alchemy Factory for a few seconds, as if she wanted to deepen her impression.

The two of them and the cat came to the Pete Hospital, went straight upstairs to the laboratory, and found the familiar laboratory technician Enzo.

Enzo is from Yorkshire. He once owed a large debt because of his obsession with gambling, so he fled to the royal capital Koselk. Now he has quit gambling, but occasionally goes to the tavern. Because he patronized Miss Jenny, the "Desire Witch" that Locke had found, the two met and became friends.

"Enzo, good afternoon."

Locke took out a pack of York cigarettes from his coat and stuffed it into Enzo's pocket.

"Locke, you're lucky. I'm the only one on duty today. Come in and visit my studio. Oh, and there's the beautiful Miss Hannah and the cute black cat. Come on, come in and take a look."

Enzo waved at the two and took them to the laboratory. He looked around and closed the door after making sure no one saw him.

Locke handed three glass bottles to Enzo, who took 10ml of each for testing with a test tube.

Locke looked at the various equipment in the laboratory curiously, and one of the huge machines with a round and wide belly that resembled half of a robot's upper body attracted his attention.

Three red lights flashed on this metal lump full of cyberpunk and mechanical beauty, and a row of reagent slots popped out of its belly.

Enzo put the test tube into the slot and then pushed the slot into the belly of the machine.

Hannah asked in surprise,

"Is this the latest alchemical tester?"

Chapter 20, Not even sparing children

"Yes, Miss Hannah, this thing can save us a lot of trouble. To be honest, I am already a believer in the great god of alchemy."

Enzo raised his eyebrows at Hannah and continued with a smile,

"It only takes 20 minutes to get the results."

Locke took out 10 grams from his pocket and handed it to Enzo,

"I'll buy you a drink."

Enzo did not refuse and put the 10 grams into his pocket. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Enzo immediately signaled Locke and Hannah to hide.

He walked to the door, opened a crack, stretched out his hand, took the medicine that his colleague handed over to be tested, and said coldly,

"Come and get it at 2 pm."

Then, he quickly closed the door.

Put the medicine on the table, write the number, and line up with other medicines.

Hannah watched him operate and quietly gave Locke a thumbs up. If Locke was not Enzo's friend, not only would he not be able to get the test directly at such a low price, but he would also have to wait in a long line, and the earliest result would be tomorrow afternoon.

Locke nodded slightly to Hannah, indicating that it was nothing.

Having many friends is sometimes beneficial.

Locke is a person who is good at making friends, but recently because of the reputation of "not even sparing children", everyone subconsciously stays away from him.

20 minutes later, Locke and Hannah got the test results.

The first bottle of water collected from the public bathroom of Old Tom's apartment showed that the mercury content was seriously exceeded.

The second bottle of water provided by the receptionist of Compass Drinking Water Company was clear and normal, without mercury.

The test results of the third bottle of water from the Sesi River were the same as the first bottle, containing a large amount of mercury.

That is to say, the Compass Drinking Water Company did not drink the water of the Sesi River itself, but supplied the sewage of the Sesi River to the citizens of the West District.

Locke remembered that there was a disease in his previous life called Minamata disease, which is a disease caused by mercury poisoning.

Limb manifestations include sensory impairment, pain, numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, ataxia, hemiplegia, tremor, etc.

And there will be mental retardation, grand mal epilepsy, laughter, confusion, and convulsions.

And now the performance of the people in the old Joel apartment is very similar to this situation.

Locke has a bold guess that in order to seize the market and reduce costs, Compass Drinking Water Company did not thoroughly purify the water. It is very likely that it only did simple filtration and dust removal and introduced the water into the market. The company's internal personnel must know about this, so they will not drink the water of the Sesi River.

The water source of the Sesi River is polluted because of the nearby alchemy factory. Only the alchemy factory will emit a large amount of toxic substances, mercury is one of them.

Hannah, who got the test results, agreed with Locke's guess. In order to verify, she needed to go to the Laszlo Alchemy Factory.

As long as the sewage outlet of the Laszlo Alchemy Factory is found and evidence is obtained, it can be confirmed that they polluted the water source.

Of course, Compass Water Company cannot be let off, because it is because they do not do a good job of purification that these water sources enter the homes of the West District.

Hannah was so angry that she trembled all over. The anger in her eyes was like a blazing fire, which scared Enzo, the inspector.

Enzo hid behind Locke and asked cautiously,

"What's wrong with your sister?"

"She's angry."

"Did I offend her?"

"No, it was the water company and the alchemy that offended her."

Locke explained.

He knows Hannah, a jealous female reporter. Although she is unemployed, Hannah's righteous heart has never cooled down.

She was extremely indignant when she saw these behaviors of disregarding life for money and interests.

Hannah will mercilessly criticize their actions with the pen in her hand, but only if complete evidence is found, and she will not let go of any details.

Enzo patted Locke on the shoulder,

"Go as soon as you get the results. I'm still busy today."

"Well, thank you Enzo, let's drink together some other time."

"To Jenny's Bistro."

Enzo showed an expression that all men understand.

Locke did not want to have any contact with Miss Jenny. She was a woman who was very greedy for her body, and she actually wanted to serve him for free!

In order to stay healthy in the other world, Locke refused Miss Jenny's invitation.

He didn't have the money to go to the hospital, and he didn't want to go to the hospital.

How would Hannah view herself if she went to the hospital for something like that?

It was already evening when Locke and Hannah returned to Old Tom's apartment, and Hannah bought a copy of the Kosolk Evening News.

Sure enough, the evening newspaper published news about a gathering of people performing weird dances in the West District Mass Square, but the reporter did not state the reason at all. He also suspected that these people were engaging in evil sacrifices and hoped that the Cathedral of Life could deal with it.

Influenced by her parents, Hannah is one of the few followers of the Knowledge Sect in the kingdom. Because the Kingdom of Tumen prohibits the spread of the Knowledge Sect in the country, Hannah is equivalent to a heretic.

Locke is different from Hannah. He is a false believer who goes to all churches but does not believe in all gods.

When anyone from the church sees him, they will think that he is a devout believer who does a pretty good job on the surface.

There is no way. If he wants to survive in such a complicated world, Locke must put on thick armor for himself.

Hannah entered the room to continue writing her investigative report and planned to sneak into the alchemy factory tonight.

Locke went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The witch Irene looked at Locke handling the fishy liver and suddenly said,

"This matter is not as simple as you think. Do you really want to be involved?"

Irene was very satisfied with Locke as a servant, both in terms of the quality of his soul and his cooking skills, so she gave him a friendly reminder that he might be in danger.

"Of course, whatever Hannah wants to do, I have to accompany her to complete it."

Locke said while handling the pork liver.

"Is that all?"

Erin looked at Locke suspiciously.

Locke stopped cutting the liver and looked ahead quietly, "It's also for Li Qi and Lisa, who have a crush on me."

"It's so boring."

Erin closed her eyes and waited quietly for dinner, ending her unsatisfactory conversation with Locke.

She had fulfilled her obligation to remind him that if something happened to this servant, she would have no choice but to... take the risk and save him again.

Who made his cooking so weird and so delicious?

After dinner, Hannah planned to go to Laszlo Alchemy Factory, but was stopped by Locke.

"It's too late, Hannah, I can just go alone."

The Pat neighborhood is very uneventful at night, and there are two types of women going out.

One is a street girl, and the other is a special job practitioner who is not afraid of death, including police officers, private detectives and reporters.

Hannah frowned, "This is my business, I have to go."

"No, if you insist on holding me back, I will refuse to continue to help you. Next time you need to test samples, just go to Enzo yourself and pay the 100-gram test fee."

Locke said without any doubt.

Hannah puffed up her cheeks angrily and sat down on the chair.

"Why am I holding you back? You are discriminating against women."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Locke put on his old woolen coat, opened the iron door, and walked into the darkness.

On his shoulder, a cat that blended into the night was yawning lazily.

…

Chapter 21, The smell of witch

In the dim light of the street lamp, the boy wearing a woolen coat walked along the path towards the alchemy factory near the Sisi River.

"Has Hannah followed?"

Locke asked the black cat on his shoulder.

Black Cat shook his head, "She is very obedient."

"That's good."

Locke quickened his pace and wanted to get to the Dallas Alchemy Factory as soon as possible.

"Why go if you think you might be in danger?"

Miss Black Cat Witch asked.

Locke pulled the scarf back around his neck and exhaled a breath of white gas, "Of course it's for the two girls who have a crush on me."

Irene knew that he was lying again. If it weren't for the fact that she was in a weak state and couldn't waste strength at will, Irene wouldn't mind letting this lying boy grow a long wooden nose and a string of iris blossoms on his nose. .

Finally reaching the Laszlo Alchemy Factory, a 3-meter-high barbed wire blocked Locke's way.

The black cat jumped and climbed to the top of the barbed wire. He stepped lightly on the wire and looked at Locke proudly.

Locke felt the biting cold wind while climbing the barbed wire fence.

After the winter in Kosolk, not only does it get dark at six or seven o'clock, but the temperature also drops to minus three or four degrees, and you feel like a knife has been scratched on your exposed cheeks.

This is one of the reasons why Locke doesn't want Hannah to follow him. On such a cold day, it's suitable to hide in bed early and sleep in the apartment.

He used his hands and feet to slowly climb up the wire fence, then carefully jumped onto the nearest tree and climbed down along the sturdy trunk until he heard the fallen leaves rustling under his feet, and then Locke breathed a sigh of relief.

[Body coordination 9/1000]

He walked into the factory quietly, and everything around him was so quiet, as if immersed in the perfect night, with only his heartbeat and breathing echoing in his ears.
