I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

Chapter 36 The Imminent Crisis

Aicheng Hualian's body was falling rapidly.

She didn't know how high she was or how far away she was from the dark blue ocean below, but she knew she was falling because the strong wind whistled in her ears and lifted her hair upwards.

Speaking of which, it is a wonder that there is such a thing as an atmosphere in this space of unknown size.

Above her was an entire hemispherical sky, with brilliant stars scattered across the entire sky, the only yet incomparably bright light source in this space.

Below her was a flat ocean that stretched to infinity. There was no wind or waves, like a mirror covered in black and blue ink, reflecting nothing and eerily calm.

Because there was no reference, Aicheng Hualian could only judge his falling speed by the sound of the wind in his ears.

However, she was not worried about being smashed into a pool of flesh, because the evil god waiting below was reluctant to let her die.

Just like the previous two times, directly below her was a black four-pointed star covered with tentacles, which was also the true form of the evil god.

The other party was lying in the center of the ocean, with countless black tentacles extending downwards. On the surface of the tentacles grew faint blue eyes, quietly watching everything around it, solidifying the entire ocean around itself.

Aicheng Hualian knew that every drop of water in this ocean was made up of spiritual energy concentrated to the extreme.

They are things that gather around the evil god on their own due to his existence, imprisoning the black four-pointed star.

Yes, imprisonment.

This ocean is not the creation of the evil god. On the contrary, it is a kind of suppression and restraint of the evil god by this space.

As a monster that has been full of aggressiveness since its birth, the existence of the evil god is tantamount to the most deadly natural disaster for space.

Therefore, even the twin space that was born with the evil god will suppress the evil god under the chaotic will to survive.

In other words, the relationship between the Exclusive Dimension and the Evil God was never one of mutual dependence like that of other gods, but rather a life-and-death struggle, much like the egg white trying to kill the chick within the yolk.

This is a calamity unique to the evil god. If you can't get through it, you will die.

The last time she entered this space was two years ago.

At that time, this ocean stirred up countless giant wolves, which pressed towards the body of the evil god with overwhelming force, trying to drown the evil god, who was still in his infancy, in the mighty wave of psychic energy.

However, now, two years later, the evil god has firmly gained the upper hand, suppressing the entire ocean, and the ferocious waves have turned into a calm surface.

It is hard to say that the breeder had no credit for this.

Originally, the evil god was at a disadvantage, but he was not alone, because he had her.

With the characteristic of "extracting psychic energy from the will to survive", she can extract a large amount of psychic energy from the will to survive in this space itself, and infuse this psychic energy into the body of the evil god.

The more hostile this space is to the evil god and the stronger its will to survive, the more spiritual energy Aicheng Hualian can extract and send into the evil god's hungry stomach.

This is another way for Aicheng Hualian to raise evil gods besides feeding them.

With this seemingly cheating help, this space gradually withered with great reluctance and grievance, and there was no hope of a comeback.

The black four-pointed star in his eyes gradually grew larger, and Aicheng Hualian's fall began to slow down.

Five long tentacles climbed up her limbs and neck from below, supporting her body at a speed slightly slower than her falling speed, acting as a cushion, allowing her to land smoothly on the black four-pointed star.

With his feet on the soft black ground, Aicheng Hualian looked down and examined the evil god he raised.

"You've grown up a lot."

She looked around and found herself right in the middle of the evil god's body. Not to mention the four thick tentacles extending outward, even the center of the four-pointed star seemed to have no end in sight.

Due to the psychic mist in the air, the visibility in Aicheng Hualian is only about 5,000 meters.

In other words, the evil god's body has grown to a size of tens of kilometers, which in reality can crush half a city.

"Why, aren't you going to come out and meet your keepers? Are you still sulking?"

She took a step forward, leaving footprints on the soft black earth. The first two times she came here, even though the battle between the evil god and this space was at its most intense, the evil god girl still found time to meet with her, saying things like, "The evil spirits don't taste good," and hoping she could go out more often.

But what happened today?

Come to think of it, it seemed like the evil girl hadn't appeared in front of her for a while, which was very different from her previous behavior of always trying to make her presence felt in front of her.

Several sticky tentacles climbed up her smooth legs from bottom to top and gently pulled her forward, signaling her to move forward.

After walking forward for nearly a thousand meters, Aicheng Hualian discovered a hint of dim blue in the darkness.

It was a dark blue egg, embedded in a sea of ​​pitch-black tentacles.

Aicheng Hualian walked forward, and the sea of ​​tentacles opened a path for her, allowing her to reach the human-sized egg.

Inside the translucent eggshell, a naked girl was curled up.

Her snow-white skin seemed to be carved from jade, and a blue gelatinous substance condensed her long black hair that was floating in the air, like tentacles spreading out. The girl's beautiful face was slightly frowned, and her lips were pursed together, as if she was having a nightmare.

Do evil gods also have nightmares?

“This egg…”

The object before her reminded her of the evil god she had signed a contract with five years ago. Back then, the evil god had also taken on this egg-shaped form.

I reached out and touched the "eggshell", and my palm felt slippery and cold, and I couldn't feel any movement from the other party.

She quickly flipped through the contents of the contract and found a line of words in the column about the growth of the evil god.

[As a god transitions from puberty to maturity, it goes through three stages]

[Condensation state, hunting state, sublimation state]

In short, when an evil god attempts to break away from its immature developmental stage and move towards becoming a true god, it will first gather all of its previous energy together and condense it into an "egg" that contains all of its essence.

In this egg, the evil god will fall into a brief slumber, then break out of the shell and enter a new stage, transforming into a hunting state and preying on all visible energy around him.

Then, all the energy will be sublimated and transformed into God.

If she could get through all of this, the evil girl in front of her would be mature and could move on to the next peak period and reproductive period.

According to the evil god's growth rate, it only takes one week to go from the condensed state to the all-devouring hunting state.

By then, if she couldn't satisfy the evil god's raging appetite, even she, as the feeder, would be devoured.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that I would find myself in such a situation just because I wanted to leave the office."

Chapter 37: The Desperate Pressure

Placing his left hand on the dark blue eggshell, Aicheng Hualian looked at the countdown on the contract.

After a week, the evil girl in front of him would break out of her shell and transform into a new "hunting state", preying on all the food she could see without satisfying her own appetite.

Aicheng Hualian knew that the other person's growth would result in such physical changes, but she did not expect that such a huge change would come so quickly.

According to her original idea, as a god, the evil god's development period must be very long, perhaps counting for thousands or hundreds of years. By that time, she would have been a handful of yellow earth, and she would not have to worry about what happened after death.

Even though she had previously jokingly called him puberty, she hadn't taken his unusual behavior too seriously. After all, adolescence for humans takes up almost a tenth of one's entire life. Surely an evil god's puberty would have to last at least a hundred years?

In her heart, she even worried about whether an adolescent evil god would bring great disaster to the whole world after her death. However, it now seems that this worry is completely unnecessary, because the evil god's adolescence will end in her hands.

It was not known whether her breeder was too competent, or the evil god's development was so unpredictable, but the opponent's condensed state came so suddenly, and the most dangerous hunting state was pressing closely behind the condensed state, leaving her with only a week, so she was a little overwhelmed.

[…I’m so hungry]

The thoughts from inside the eggshell were transmitted into her body through the contact between their skins, expressing its hunger to her over and over again.

Amidst these calls, Aicheng Hualian could clearly feel the pain coming from the other party. The feeling of being tortured by hunger stirred her nerves and stomach.

The other party was eager to be fed by her, with a pleading tone that had never appeared before, and this was only the first day of the condensation state, and he had not yet truly entered the crazy hunting state for appetite.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any evil spirits to feed you right now. Please be patient for a while."

Gently stroking the eggshell in front of him, Aicheng Hualian said helplessly.

The girl in the shell seemed to understand her words and no longer groaned with hunger, but her curled-up body seemed to become even more listless, with her forehead almost touching her knees. The entire black four-pointed star also became silent, exuding a sense of sadness.

A thought came to her mind.

According to the content of the thought, the evil god will be in the hunting state for a total of three years. During these three years, Aicheng Hualian needs to feed him a C-level, B-level and A-level evil spirit in turn.

After each feeding, the evil god's hunting state will enter the next stage, each stage more crazy than the last.

"C-rank, B-rank, A-rank, it really gives me a huge problem."

At present, Aicheng Hualian's spiritual power can barely be considered as a C-level existence, and the higher the level, the greater the gap between different levels.

C-rank... The mysterious investigator stationed in Donghua City Government is of C-rank. His every move is enough to affect the nerves of the entire city. He possesses several powerful spiritual skills and is an expert in wielding a chainsaw and a broadsword.

As far as Aicheng Hualian knows, Level B is a power possessed by the minister in charge of a province or even the entire national security. It is usually elusive and will only appear when the country faces a major disaster.

Three years ago, a B-rank minister came to Donghua City for an inspection. On live television that day, Aicheng Hualian watched as the mayor of Donghua City bowed and scraped before the minister, like a servant, practically kneeling to fill his shoes.

As for the A-level... To be honest, Aicheng Hualian knew very little about this level, and didn't even know if there was anyone at the A-level. Perhaps the entire Xinhui Federation couldn't find an A-level expert even if they were put together.

But the evil god only gave her three years.

Three years... not to mention a C-rank investigator, even for a D-rank investigator, it would just pass by in a flash. Even if one practices and improves oneself day and night, the progress that can be made in just three years is very little.

During these three years, she needs to hunt down a C-level, a B-level and an A-level evil spirit.

Such a heavy task made Aicheng Hualian, who currently only had C-level strength, feel a little desperate.

This task was like a mountain with no visible top, yet she, a girl without even a climbing pick, had to climb to the top step by step.

She didn't know whether she would encounter a blizzard while climbing the mountain, or how rugged the mountain road was. She didn't even know if she was worthy of leaving her footprints on this mountain.

"I've been raising you for five years, and now you come up and give me a big one."

"You guys really gave me a difficult problem."

However, this sense of despair came quickly and went away even faster.

If she had given up because the goal was difficult, she would not have survived until now.

She loves Cheng Hualian and has never been someone who gives up easily.

If you don’t try, how can you know if you can succeed? If you don’t push yourself, how can you know if you have reached your limit?

No matter how difficult the goal is, can it compare to the difficulties I faced when my heart was pierced?

Even if she couldn't escape death in the end, she would die in the process of climbing the mountain, rather than dying in frustration at the foot of the mountain.

"This is the responsibility of a breeder. I've made it through these past few days, so it won't be difficult for me to hold on any longer."

"Hehe, the protagonists in those novels and movies are all guys who can kill enemies above their level. Why can't I, Ai Cheng Hualian, do the same?"

Patting the eggshell, Aicheng Hualian said firmly, "I accept this commission."

……

A subspace channel was opened in the evil god's space, Aicheng Hualian walked into the channel, and emerged from a suburb of Donghua City.

Now that she has a heavy responsibility, she can no longer be as "leisurely and comfortable" as before.

The easy days of feeding the evil god an E-level evil spirit every week and everything would be fine are gone forever.

“As for future plans, the summary is also very simple.”

"Improve your rank, hunt more evil spirits, and prepare for the Evil God to emerge."

"But it's easier said than done."

Her current goal is to grow to the point where she can defeat A-rank evil spirits within three years and witness the ascension of the evil god.

"Then let's start with the commission at hand."

Sweeping away her previous carelessness, Aicheng Hualian put on the mask and robe belonging to Investigator Chiyan and clenched her fists.

"An E-rank evil spirit is now barely enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

"But now, this commission has taken on another meaning."

"It's the significance of allowing me to establish a relationship with a guy like Qing Zhumin who has a certain amount of power."

The situation is urgent, and her own strength is no longer enough to meet her own growth requirements.

Therefore, she needs more power from human society to boost her growth and allow her strength to soar at a rocket-like speed.

And Qing Zhumin will be the first engine of this rocket.

Chapter 38 Qing Zhumin's Request for a Meeting

If you tell others about your plan to be promoted to rank A in three years, people will think you are crazy.
