I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

[Sorry, I'm not interested in joining the team at the moment.]

Now she has more important things to do.

Chapter 26: The Evil God's Ambition

After closing the computer, Aicheng Hualian rubbed her temples. There were so many things to do today that she felt a little tired.

After casually drinking a glass of cold water to calm herself down, she looked at the dark blue gelatinous substance on the ground that was wrapped in Tsuzaki Mahiru's spiritual energy.

This jelly-like substance is the product of the evil god. The other party packed up the spiritual energy from Tsuzaki Mahiru in her body, threw it out of her body, and wrapped it with a ball of concentrated evil energy.

These pale green, leaf-like spiritual energies are the positioning "devices" that Tsuzaki Mahiru placed on her. As the master of these spiritual energies, Tsuzaki Mahiru can sense her location through them.

The other party was really frightened by Aicheng Hualian's disappearance tonight.

However, now that these psychic energies had been cleared from her body and fell to the ground, enveloped in fel energy, how to deal with them became a problem.

If these were allowed to dissipate on the spot, Tsuzaki Mahiru would be the first to sense something was wrong and would rush directly to her house, which would make things difficult.

If she carries it with her, then as a private investigator, she will have to run around to complete the commissioned mission, which will also arouse the suspicion of Tsuzaki Mahiru.

"Trouble...trouble."

She seemed to be caught in a dilemma, and no matter which way she went, her secret would be exposed.

"However, there is another way. I haven't even tried this method myself, so I don't know if it will work..."

Aicheng Hualian stretched out her hand and squeezed out bright red spiritual energy from her body. She poured this vital spiritual energy into the pool of black and blue jelly in front of her and waited for it to develop.

The psychic energy she possesses can bring life to body parts removed from her own body. So, what if she were to inject this jelly-like mass of evil spirits into her? Could she create life from the evil spirit's body parts?

“I hope it works…”

She didn't have much hope in her heart.

After all, as an evil god from the Warp, his very existence was the complete opposite of life in the real world. Just like water and fire, when they collided, only clouds of steam would erupt.

When Aicheng Hualian's spiritual energy was injected into this pool of gelatinous substance, her spiritual energy was like a drop in the ocean, and there was no movement.

"Ah... I knew it."

She muttered, but didn't notice that a pair of blue eyes appeared in her chest.

The eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to swallow everything, and they were quietly looking at the gelatinous substance on the ground.

The owner of these eyes felt the restlessness of the gelatinous substance. Something was brewing in it, but it just lacked the finishing touch.

Then, a ball of azure evil energy spewed out from Aicheng Hualian's chest and directly poured into the body of the gelatinous object.

Aicheng Hualian sensed something and immediately activated his spiritual skills.

【Spiritual Creation】

"Gulu!"

The jelly began to twist, rapidly changing its shape. It stretched out its furry limbs, revealing a round head, a short and cute tail, and two soft ears that fluttered continuously.

In just a few seconds, a cute little black puppy appeared before Aicheng Hualian. Its eyes were a bonfire red, not dissimilar to Aicheng Hualian's own. Its fur was as if covered in ink, swallowing up the surrounding light. The puppy was tiny, barely half the length of an arm.

"Wang Wang..."

The black-haired puppy barked at Aicheng Hualian twice, shaking its palm-sized tail desperately. It ran to Aicheng Hualian's feet, stretched out its little tongue and licked her toes, bringing her moist warmth.

"Oh, what a cute little puppy."

Aicheng Hualian looked at the adorable pet she had created and couldn't help but kneel down to pet its furry head. The pair of eyes belonging to the evil god on her chest also silently watched the puppy, then disappeared into her body.

"I never thought that such a cute puppy could be created using the body of an evil god as raw material."

In comparison, the lives created by Aicheng Hualian with his own body are all strange monsters.

There are several small green spots on the puppy's body. Those spots are the embodiment of Tsuzaki Mahiru's spiritual power, and are also the reason why Aishiro Karen created this puppy.

She planned to let the puppy carry Tsuzaki Mahiru's psychic energy and wander around in a safe place, such as her own home. In this way, in Tsuzaki Mahiru's mind, "Aishiro Karen" would just stay at home doing nothing and would not cause Mahiru to worry.

"Alright, alright, stay home. If Mahiru-san comes knocking on the door, you'll have to activate the spiritual skills hidden in your body."

The puppy's body contained a special spiritual skill designed by Aicheng Hualian. That spiritual skill opened a channel through the subspace and teleported her here.

If Tsuzaki Mahiru comes to visit, then the little dog can open a portal and pull Aishiro Karen back to the dog's side.

Everything is ready, Aicheng Hualian, who has no worries, lies on the soft bed.

A faint snoring sound was heard. She was really too tired today.

……

This is a world independent of the subspace and reality.

Half of the world is covered by a brilliant starry sky. The colorful stars are dotted on the hemispherical sky like a dream, illuminating the boundless universe.

The other half of the world is a quiet ocean, with a mirror-like calm surface extending to the endless distance without a trace of ripples.

Strangely, the water in this ocean does not reflect the stars in the sky, but instead appears a bottomless deep blue.

This deep blue color deepens as it approaches the center, until it becomes a bottomless black at the core of the ocean.

There, a black four-pointed star floats, but its exact size is unknown because there is no reference.

He lay there quietly, like the only black in the universe. Threads of tentacles spread from his body, hooking onto the water around him. He single-handedly held the entire ocean in place, using every drop of water as material to build his nest.

Right in the center of His body, two dark blue eyes were embedded there, one on the left and one on the right, staring at the two circular cracks in front of them, watching everything that happened in the world called "reality".

To be precise, what he was looking at was his owner and the black-haired puppy running around on the ground.

"Gulu..."

Like Aijo Karen, the evil god could sense the puppy's connection to him. It was a weak connection, insignificant compared to his true form. But as a god, he felt a sense of joy for the first time.

It turns out that this body of his, filled with death and ominousness, can also serve as the raw material of life.

Sure enough, he was not wrong five years ago.

The girl named Aijo Karen is not only the most resilient container and the most responsible breeder, but also the most suitable one for Him...

What of Him?

The evil god searched through the human vocabulary he had learned from his breeder.

A word that would surely make the orange-haired girl scream in anger if told to Aijo Karen emerged in the evil god's chaotic and vast consciousness.

Ah... it's a fertility tool...

Chapter 27: The Ghost of the Orphanage

At six o'clock in the morning, Aicheng Hualian was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock.

She got up after only four hours of sleep, yawned, quickly washed up, and walked out of the house.

She placed the puppy that was just born yesterday on her bed and told it not to run around and to sleep well.

Relying on the spiritual energy belonging to Tsuzaki Mahiru in the puppy, it can create the illusion that "Aishiro Karen has not woken up yet" to the other party.

And she will be able to go to her former orphanage and meet some friends that only she knows.

……

Aicheng Hualian is an orphan who was adopted by an orphanage located in the suburbs of Donghua City.

The orphanage, named "Qian Miao," was small and funded by a wealthy man who had lost a child at a young age. When Aicheng Hualian was adopted, there were a total of 37 children in the orphanage, including her, and three female teachers responsible for their care.

She was the youngest of thirty-seven children.

So, those children in the orphanage were actually her brothers and sisters. As a new member of this big family, Aicheng Hualian could be said to have grown up under the doting of thirty-nine people.

The orphanage built a greenhouse for her, protecting her from the elements, but this only made her an introvert and shy child. Her older siblings and teachers took care of everything, so she only needed to stretch out her hands for food and clothing, and she didn't need to go out and interact with strangers.

Before she was thirteen, that small orphanage was everything to her, and she rarely left there.

Of course, all of this was shattered into pieces by the attack of the mind flayer.

Signing a contract with an evil spirit, being adopted by the evil spirit response department, receiving training from the department, going out alone to hunt evil spirits in order to feed the evil spirit, silently accepting the pressure and corruption of an evil spirit, hiding his uniqueness in a department full of psychics, enduring a full year of contempt and prejudice after being tested to have no psychic powers, tracking down the whereabouts of the mind flayer, and becoming a private investigator...

All of this happened within those five years. That accident had thrown her, a flower living in a greenhouse, into a violent storm.

Fortunately, she survived.

Even more fortunately, no one in the orphanage died...

To be precise, they survived in another form.

……

"It's still as desolate as ever here."

Aicheng Hualian looked at the building in front of him.

The former orphanage is now a dilapidated bungalow. The fence outside is covered with rust, and the iron gate that serves as the facade is half collapsed. The various entertainment equipment inside has also lost its appearance, becoming loose and squeaking in the wind.

This place is old and dilapidated, burying her spoiled childhood.

Five years wasn't enough time to corrode a modern building into this state, but if the evil energy was added, then everything in front of him would make sense.

Walking to the front door, Aicheng Hualian looked at the footprints on the ground. They were left by her three days ago. Apart from them, there were no other traces of human beings.

As a murderous place where thirty-nine people died, only the survivor, Aicheng Hualian, would come here to visit from time to time.

Pushing open the rickety wooden door, Aicheng Hualian walked into the hall of the orphanage.

This used to be a place for children to play. She read and wrote here with other children, and occasionally watched a movie to relieve fatigue.

Today, all that remains of this hall are dust and debris, with some bright red bloodstains telling of the tragedy that once took place here.

"Brothers and sisters, and teachers, I'm here."

She called out, her voice echoing through the hall.

Then, a rustling sound came from all directions.

It sounded like the echo of the wind, but if you listened carefully, you could make out some words.

"Ahhh...Xiao Hualian is here to see us again?"

"Teacher, come quickly, it's Hua Lian!"

"Huhu... This time I want to show Aicheng what I've learned."

In this empty hall, voices of people talking came one after another.

Right in front of Aicheng Hualian, illusory figures emerged from every corner and circled around Aicheng Hualian.

To outsiders, they are just white lumps flying in the air like rags, which is very creepy.

But in Aicheng Hualian's eyes, each of them has his or her own appearance and characteristics, as vivid as a living person.

Because they were born because of Aijo Karen and the evil god in her body.

In this world, if a person does not have a strong obsession after death, his soul will dissipate.

But on that night five years ago, everyone whose hearts were taken away by the Mind Flayer turned into ghosts under the awakened psychic power of Aicheng Hualian and the waves spread by the evil god.

They retained their consciousness in the form of ghosts and continued to survive in this orphanage.

They can speak, see and hear everything, but they cannot leave here and cannot have any impact on the real world.

But what does it matter? Being able to continue to exist in this world and witness the passage of time and Hualian's growth is already a great blessing.

For them, they were already dead, so they placed their desire for growth on Hua Lian.

These ghosts didn't know that it was Aicheng Hualian's efforts that allowed them to survive, and Aicheng Hualian didn't tell them this news.

Because she didn't want to have a pathetic thick barrier between them and herself, she wanted to get along with them as a companion.

"Look, look at my new magic trick!"

In front of Aijo Karen, a ghost teacher named Xia Youmeiji lit a handful of fireworks in her palm.

When he was alive, he liked to perform some magic tricks in front of children. Now after his death, this habit is still retained.

Phew…

Small psychic fireworks bloomed in front of Aicheng Hualian. Those weak fireworks were only the size of a palm, and the psychic fluctuations were not as good as the lowest G level, but they shone in Aicheng Hualian's eyes, brighter than the sun in the sky.

"It's so beautiful, Teacher Miki, can you teach me?" Aicheng Hualian smiled and clapped her hands, while asking her teacher for advice, just like before.
