Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

Locke nodded heavily, "But leave the cooking to me. There are no extra ingredients at home to waste."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Hannah thought about her cooking skills, a shy blush appeared on her cheeks, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in awkwardly.

Although they are siblings, Locke's cooking skills are several times better than his own. It's really unfair.

Hannah started doing the laundry while Locke went back to the apartment to cook.

There is also a ray of sunshine in the poor days, which warms the siblings.

Hannah turned back and looked in the direction of home, beginning to regret her impulse.

Can I really protect this warm little home?

If he had not rejected the editor-in-chief Lloyd that night, would he not have been fired? Do you have enough money to buy your brother a new coat?

But whenever she thought of Lloyd's disgusting rosacea and lewd eyes, Hannah got goosebumps all over her body.

She turned on the water and carefully washed her wool coat and two woolen vests.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there seems to be a dark thing floating in front of my eyes.

When Hannah looked up, she saw nothing again.

Chapter 5, Don’t mess with Locke

Locke used the cheapest bread crumbs mixed with mashed potatoes to make fried hash browns, barely enough for a quick lunch.

If he had time, Locke could make homemade noodles from flour, but unfortunately he was in a hurry to find a job, and both he and Hannah were pressed for time.

Hannah brought the washed clothes back to the apartment, hung them up in front of the window, and said with praise,

"The windows have new patterns, which is really a good idea."

Locke knew that she was talking about his practice of covering the windows with old newspapers, and he shook his head helplessly, "After all, it was an unwise choice to find Uncle Martin."

"I have told him many times not to let Kai do this kind of thing. They will get into trouble sooner or later."

Hannah sighed and sat down at the simple dining table.

The siblings had a simple lunch of fried hash browns and plain water, then said goodbye to each other and continued their journey to find a job.

Locke was walking on Pater Street, surrounded by dense red lines, like an ocean of life. They had one thing in common, none of them were more than 30 years old, and the shortest was only a week.

When passing by Uncle Martin, who was still looking for work on the street, he noticed that the life bar on Kai's head had changed from 432,768 hours to 48 hours, which meant that in two days, the freckled boy might die because of his attack. He broke the windows of a certain house and was brutally beaten to death.

Martin's life has also changed from 262,800 hours to 8,731 hours, which means that after Kai's death, Uncle Martin will die in less than one year.

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but feel a bit sad. After being a neighbor for three years, Uncle Martin was actually a pretty good man. He was not his biological son, but just an orphan he picked up. Kai did such an irrational thing in order to repay Uncle Martin. the behavior of.

"Locke, I'm looking for a job again."

Uncle Martin smiled and greeted Locke.

Locke patted his cheek, tried his best to make a fierce expression, and grabbed the freckle boy Kai who was snickering next to him.

Uncle Martin watched in surprise as Locke, who was usually very talkative, suddenly turned into a violent vigilante and beat Kai violently without any explanation.

This act of beating a child in front of his parents attracted the attention of passers-by.

They were all poor people from this neighborhood, whistling and watching the fun without hesitation.

"Haha, who was beaten?"

"It's Kai."

"You deserve it, you must have smashed Locke's window again."

They mocked, but no one came to stop the fight.

"Wow - I was wrong, I was wrong, brother Locke, please spare me, dad save me."

Kai cried loudly.

Locke showed no mercy this time. The neighbors beat Kai countless times, but they didn't make him remember it because it didn't hurt enough.

If Locke wants the Martins and his son to have a long memory, he can't hold back, nor can he only pick the fatter butts to spank.

Seeing that Locke was serious, Uncle Martin thought that Locke's sister had recently lost her job, and the siblings were not doing well. If something like this happened again, he would inevitably get emotional, so he took out his little money,

"This is 20 grams. I made these two orders today. Locke, stop playing. I will pay you compensation."

Uncle Martin stretched out his hand to grab Locke, but Locke threw him away. The 20-meter coin also fell to the ground. Immediately, a homeless man was waiting for an opportunity to come over and grab it, but Locke kicked him away.

Although Locke is on the thin side, in order to avoid getting sick and save money, he insists on exercising every day. It is no problem to beat one or two homeless homeless people who are already hungry and skinny.

Locke picked up the money on the ground and put it in his pocket. The 20 grams was considered a reward for doing good deeds.

Even though I knew it was not easy for Uncle Martin, without these 20 grams, he might not even be able to buy lunch today, and the father and son would be hungry for the whole day.

But if you stop without taking the money, it will give people the impression of being a joke and encourage Kai's arrogance.

The most important thing is that when Kai saw that he had smashed someone else's window and not only failed to get his father's business back, but also made his father lose all the money he had worked hard for all morning, he would form a correct psychological understanding and know how to smash the window. Windows behavior is undesirable.

Sure enough, when Kai saw Uncle Martin paying for the trouble, he cried even harder.

"Wow - Dad, I was wrong, Brother Locke, I was wrong, don't take dad's money -"

Locke ignored his apology and said to Uncle Martin,

"Don't do it again, I will really kill him."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Uncle Martin swallowed his saliva, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. It was the first time he saw the gentle boy showing such a fierce side.

Locke's cold eyes made Uncle Martin determined to take Kai away from this neighborhood in the future, at least never wander around Old Tom's apartment again, fearing that Kai would be beaten by Locke again.

The neighbors and homeless people around were also shocked by the boy's cruelty. They lowered their heads silently and stopped discussing the matter, leaving the label "Don't mess with Locke" in their hearts.

Even children were beaten so hard, let alone adults.

The homeless man who was kicked and fell to the ground and wanted to fight back shrank his neck after Locke said that he would kill Kai and retreated to the shadow of the alley.

The dirty children on the streets and alleys were like seeing a ghost, and they hid quickly.

Although he knew that his reputation might be affected in the future, Locke felt that it was worth it.

Because the lifelines above their heads had begun to lengthen.

Uncle Martin recovered to 262,798 hours, while Kai's became 432,766 hours.

It seems that after this incident, Kai will no longer break windows and cause trouble, and Uncle Martin will not die within a year because of sadness.

At the same time, Locke also received feedback from the system.

[Life Peep: 2/1000]

Changing the fate of 1,000 people can upgrade [Life Peep] to [Life Control], which is still too difficult for Locke now.

And he found that when he just hit Kai, it seemed as if a beast was awakening in his heart.

Although he knew that he was doing a good thing, his emotions were obviously mobilized by an inexplicable force, as if his anger was magnified countless times.

What on earth is going on?

Is it because of seeing these dense lifelines?

This picture is indeed suffocating and irritating.

The longer Locke looked at it, the more his head hurt.

For this reason, he had to give up the idea of ​​​​wandering around looking for a job and returned to Old Tom's apartment early.

The 20 grams earned by beating children today could barely buy two pieces of black bread, so it was not completely fruitless.

Locke comforted himself in this way, and a black shadow suddenly emerged from the dim stairwell in front of him, scaring Locke.

I thought I had encountered a supernatural event, but it turned out to be a black cat.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief and muttered at the back of the black cat, "Where did the wild cat come from?"

The black cat dragged its tail proudly and disappeared deep in the alley.

Locke returned to the rental house and took the damaged vest to Mrs. Amor's house next door. He paid 2 grams to take care of Mrs. Amor's business. Mrs. Amor's two daughters hid in the steamy room and watched Locke quietly.

Because of Locke's appearance, girls of the right age nearby like to secretly peek at him.

Mrs. Armour's eldest and youngest daughters are 16 and 13 years old, respectively. They are both young and in love, and they always blush unconsciously when they see Locke.

Although they both live in Old Tom's apartment, they have said less than 10 sentences in total, and they are quite shy girls.

After getting the promise that he could get the vest tomorrow afternoon, Locke left Mrs. Armour's house, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him from behind. When he turned around, he found nothing.

If it was two girls peeking at him at Mrs. Armour's house before, it would be understandable, but he still had this feeling when he had returned home, and Locke couldn't help but feel a chill on his spine.

"Could it be that the witch is staring at me?"

Chapter 6, An Accident

Locke carefully checked every corner of the house, including Hannah's bed, wardrobe, desk drawer, and even the kitchen trash can, but he found no trace of the witch.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? How can a small person like me attract the attention of the witch?"

Locke laughed at himself and sat back on the old sofa in the living room.

There is only one bedroom in the rental house, which is Hannah's. It is said that he and Hannah slept in bunk beds when they were young. After growing up, he can only make do with the sofa in the living room.

Locke sat on the sofa, thinking about how to control the new superpowers as soon as possible. If he saw the life wave as soon as he went out, and then felt dizzy or even had a headache, it must be that the superpowers were not controlled well, otherwise the witch would have gone crazy long ago, right?

After silently saying to the system dad several times to no avail, Locke decided to explore on his own. He walked to the window and looked at the people coming and going on the street.

Use your will to issue the command "Disappear." "I don't want to see." "Get out of here."

Invalid, the life blood bar is still jumping above people's heads.

Close your eyes and don't see anything.

Invalid, the life blood bar seems to ignore the visualization law of the naked eye, and appears in front of you out of thin air, forming a clear red river in the dark.

Does this mean that I can apply for a blind massage job, or pretend to be blind on the street to cheat people out of money?

Unfortunately, there are no blind massages or blind fortune tellers in this society.

Locke sighed and decided to try another approach.

After 16 attempts, he finally found a practical way based on the inspiration he had accumulated from reading online novels in his previous life.

Locke targeted a brown stray dog ​​on the corner of the street and concentrated on the dog.

The health bar on the dog's head is 200 hours, but since a homeless man appeared next to him, the dog's life has been visibly reduced to 10 minutes.

Locke smiled happily after witnessing a series of operations by the homeless man in which the dog was killed by a collar.

Of course, it's not that he has a deep grudge against the dog that only knows how to bite people. It's all because he has mastered the secret of [Life Detection].

You only need to concentrate and focus on the individual, and you can automatically block the surrounding life bars, and this consumption will be much less than watching the life bars of many people at the same time, and will not put a burden on the spirit at all and cause headaches.

Locke selected a few more passers-by and experimented several times. After confirming that the method was effective, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep in a comfortable mood.

I didn't wake up until the afternoon to prepare dinner for Hannah.

Hannah came back very late tonight, and after finishing her meal, she forced a tired smile,

"I'm going back to my room to rest first. Locke, you should go to bed early. Good night."

"Good night."

Hannah entered her room and closed the door.

Locke could tell that Hannah was in a bad mood. Even though he had mentioned the income of 20 grams before eating, he still could not change the sad look on Hannah's face.

Early the next morning, before Hannah got up, Locke got up early, made breakfast, and went out to continue looking for a job.

Locke also deliberately put on the wool coat that Hannah brought back for him.

Although it has some wear and tear, compared to his vest and scarf, its warmth-keeping ability has been improved by more than one level.

Locke didn't mind which gentleman had worn it before, he just felt the warmth from Hannah.

"Today must be successful."

Locke encouraged himself, then disappeared into the crowd and became one of the gray shadows.
