I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

But most curses target the victim's spirit. It is rare for someone to be unable to stop bleeding due to a curse, as happened to Donglan.

"This isn't a solution. The curse seems to have a strange ability, capable of strengthening itself by consuming Donglan's weakness and pain. Sooner or later, she will die from excessive blood loss."

In just a few seconds, the evil god's vision allowed Aicheng Hualian to determine the characteristics of the curse.

Time waits for no one. Under the surprised gaze of the doctor and other members of the third team, Aicheng Hualian pushed open the door of the ward and walked into the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant.

"Aicheng Hualian, what are you doing! Come back now!"

"Doctor Hu is treating the captain, don't disturb him!"

Behind him, Talina and Huo An screamed. Doctor Hu in the infirmary rubbed his eyes and looked at the orange-haired girl who walked into the ward. He thought it was an illusion caused by overwork.

After he realized what was happening, he yelled, "What are you doing here, little girl? Don't you know the patient is in danger? You haven't sterilized the wound, what if it gets infected?"

"I just wanted to help tend to Captain Donglan's wound."

"What are you talking about? Hey! That's a spray for removing residual fel energy. What are you doing with it? Stop it!"

Without wasting time talking to the doctor, Aicheng Hualian picked up her target - a bottle of special spray placed next to the operating table, used to remove residual evil energy.

This special spray is used to disinfect rooms. It can eliminate residual evil energy below level F. The effect is very powerful, but it is very irritating to the human body. Anyone with a little medical knowledge will not use this spray on humans.

But Aicheng Hualian picked up the spray and sprayed it twice on the left half of Donglan's body before Huo An and Talina behind him could stop him.

The light silver powder fell on Donglan's bleeding wound, making a sizzling corrosion sound and stimulating the flesh in the wound to tremble.

At the same time, the two-headed venomous snakes let out sharp screams that only she could hear and disappeared into the air.

"Aicheng Hualian! You just joined here and you're already causing us trouble!"

Huo An behind him roared, knocked the spray in Aicheng Hualian's hand to the ground, and was about to push her out of the ward.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Talina suddenly stopped Huo An's actions.

She pointed at Captain Donglan's wound and exclaimed in surprise: "Wait! The bleeding from the captain's wound has stopped!"

Chapter 45 Can you see the curse?

Donglan, lying on the hospital bed, had stopped bleeding from her wound.

And all this was because of Aicheng Hualian’s recent actions.

Just now, she observed the medical room and found that there was only a bottle of special spray that could remove the remaining evil energy and resist the power of the curse, so she sprayed it several times on the left half of Donglan's body.

The result was just as she expected. The curse caused by the powder in the spray dissipated like morning mist in the sun.

"Fortunately, this curse is very low-level, otherwise a bottle of spray alone wouldn't be enough to cure it."

She thought to herself.

"The patient's condition has actually stabilized!"

Dr. Hu, who was standing by, looked at the data on the medical instruments beside the bed with a look of surprise on his face.

In nearly twenty years of practice, this was the first time he'd seen something like this. Using a spray specifically designed to remove the residue of evil spirits on a patient's wound to stop the bleeding? This absurd practice, like using dish soap to fill a penetrating wound on a patient, actually worked!

"Miss...how did you do this?"

Not only Dr. Hu, but everyone else in the third team present looked at Aicheng Hualian with surprise.

These intelligence department employees who have been working in the industry for many years have abundant work experience and are also psychics with psychic powers. Even they did not find anything abnormal in Captain Donglan. So why did Aicheng Hualian, who had just joined the third team, think that the bottle of spray could help the captain stop the bleeding?

The three of them remembered that Miss Aicheng Hualian was just an ordinary person without any psychic powers. The reason she was able to join their third team was because she had someone behind her and she came in through the back door.

Aicheng Hualian had already prepared his speech.

She showed a somewhat uncertain expression and said in a tentative tone, "Well, although I don't have psychic powers, my eyes seem to be able to see things that others can't."

"Those things are very strange, not ordinary evil spirits, but more like pitch-black poisonous insects and snakes, lurking in dark corners. I once tried to eliminate them, but I found that the potions used to remove residual fel energy are very effective against those strange creatures; they are simply their natural enemies."

Pitch-black poisonous insects and snakes? Different from ordinary evil spirits, but also belonging to the category of evil energy?

The knowledgeable members of the third team of the Intelligence Department immediately thought of something.

"Hua Lian, those things you saw were probably curses." Talina, who was standing aside, said. She looked at Aicheng Hua Lian's pink-brown eyes, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.

"curse?"

"That's right. Unlike spiritual techniques performed with psychic energy or sorcery unleashed by demonic energy, curses are a very insidious and highly concealed means of attack. Generally speaking, only those with special equipment or special abilities can detect curses and find ways to break them."

"It seems that it was you, Hualian, who discovered the curse on the captain and lifted it, allowing the captain's injuries to stabilize."

"I didn't expect that there would be an employee in our team who can see curses."

"I can see the curse..."

Not only Talina, but Emily beside her also looked at Aicheng Hualian with envy. Even Huo An, who always had a sour face, had a different opinion of Aicheng Hualian and his expression softened a lot.

The most important thing is that their captain was saved from life danger because of Aicheng Hualian's actions.

Otherwise, if Donglan's injury continued to worsen and they did not find the root cause of the curse, even if they exhausted the entire intelligence department's blood bank reserves, they would not be able to save Donglan's life.

Although she has no psychic powers, Aicheng Hualian is able to gain a foothold in this intelligence department with her eyes that can see curses.

Talina looked at Aicheng Hualian who was in shock, and analyzed the source of his ability in her mind.

Victims of evil spirits who suffered significant trauma had a high probability of awakening psychic powers. While the disaster that Aijo Karen endured five years ago didn't awaken her psychic powers, common sense would have ensured she gained some psychic-related abilities.

Now it seems that these eyes that can see through curses are the ability that Aishiro Karen has acquired.

Although it does not help combat effectiveness at all, the uniqueness of this ability makes it a rare resource for the evil response department.

"Thank you, and I apologize for my earlier recklessness."

The tall and thin Huo An bent down in front of Aicheng Hualian and bowed to her to apologize.

Hua Lian quickly waved her hand and said, "Senior Huo An is too polite. Since I have joined the third team, Captain Dong Lan is also my captain. Helping the captain escape from life-threatening danger is what I should do as a team member."

After these words were spoken, the three members of the third team felt even more identified with Aicheng Hualian.

Seeing the expressions on the other three people's faces, Aicheng Hualian knew that her plan was half successful.

Since we want to get the instrument called "Dingling" from the captain, then gaining the trust of the other members of the third team is a hurdle that we must overcome.

Moreover, after learning about some matters and responsibilities of the Intelligence Department through Talina, Aicheng Hualian suddenly felt that this place seemed to be very suitable for him.

This intelligence department is responsible for monitoring evil spirits in the entire Donghua City, and she just needs a large number of evil spirits to satisfy the appetite of the evil god in her body. If she can continue to work here, she will be able to obtain the locations of many evil spirits, allowing her to take the initiative to attack and hunt, instead of relying on luck by accepting missions or hunting at night as before.

Therefore, after some thought, Aicheng Hualian came up with the action plan of revealing to others the illusion that "he can see the curse".

By demonstrating this "special ability", she can gain a foothold in this intelligence department, climb up step by step, and obtain a large amount of information related to evil.

"Cough cough!"

The girl on the hospital bed coughed twice, then opened her eyes slightly, revealing a pair of pale white eyes like melted snow.

Donglan felt the pain coming from the left side of her body and looked at the three familiar team members, a doctor, and an orange-haired girl she didn't recognize in front of her.

She said with difficulty: "I... am... back...?"

"Captain, you're awake!"

Talina stepped forward and held Donglan's hand, tears in her eyes.

"Hmm... I almost lost my life... in Beichuan City. Who is this girl?"

"Her name is Aijo Karen, and she's a new member of our team."

Talina briefly explained to Donglan everything that had happened. Donglan nodded towards Aicheng Hualian and said softly, "Welcome to our team... and thank you... ahem!"

"Captain, please stop talking and rest quietly."

"No!" Dong Lan struggled to maintain consciousness and said slowly and firmly, "This is urgent. We must inform the higher-ups...about the reappearance of the Chongling Cult."

Unfortunately, as soon as she finished saying this, she fell into coma again due to exhaustion.

Chapter 46: The Nemesis of the Spiritual Religion

"The Spiritual Worship Cult appears again!?"

Before they had time to panic about their captain's coma again, when they heard the three words "Chongling Sect", the faces of the members of the third team, including Huo An, became gloomy.

Only Aicheng Hualian looked puzzled, looking at the others who looked like they were facing a great enemy.

Even though she had been a private investigator for a year and had frequent communication on the evil-removing platform, Aicheng Hualian didn't really know much about the three words "Chongling Sect".

But judging from the expressions of the other team members, the meaning behind these three words is that the situation is very serious.

"What is the Spiritual Cult?" she asked Talina beside her.

"The Spirit Worship Cult is nothing." Talina glanced at the captain lying on the hospital bed. After confirming that he was simply unconscious from exhaustion, she continued, "They are a cult that developed from a group of fanatical believers after the emergence of the evil spirit."

"It's a religion related to the subspace." Aicheng Hualian could understand.

Since ancient times, religion has been an integral part of human civilization. Faced with the incomprehensible forces of nature, ancient people would explain them by citing the existence of gods, which then developed into a religion that revered gods.

Today, the existence of the subspace proves that there are still a large number of phenomena and creatures in this universe that are incomprehensible to human science, and the emergence of religions related to the subspace is naturally understandable.

"If it was just about worshipping the Warp, then the dangers of the Spiritual Cult wouldn't be that great." Talina shook her head. "Now that Hualian is a member of our intelligence department, it's okay to tell you."

"The Spirit Worship Cult is a religion that has been active at the bottom of human society for over seventy years. They worship the evil spirits themselves, believing them to be gifts bestowed upon humanity by the Warp, and divine messengers promoting the progress of human society."

"Huh? Are there still people who think this way?" Aicheng Hualian was shocked by the outrageous beliefs of the Chongling Cult. "Shouldn't so-called evil spirits be humanity's mortal enemies, monsters that feed on our negative emotions?"

"That's right. That's why the religious tenets of the Spiritual Worship Cult are so incomprehensible. It would be fine if they were just enjoying themselves, but they insist on instilling their outrageous ideas into others, even attempting to drag all of human society into the vortex of their crazy beliefs."

"Fifty-seven years ago, the Chongling Cult launched a highly dangerous terrorist attack in the capital of Melica, a country on another continent. Tens of thousands of people died in their attack, which officially kicked off the struggle between countries around the world and the Chongling Cult. Our evil response department also joined the ranks of protecting human civilization and launched a heavy blow against the Chongling Cult." Huo An, who was standing behind Talina, also started talking.

As a member of the team responsible for information investigation operations, Huo An has some understanding of these forces that were once hostile to the evil response department.

"The struggle between the official forces and the Chongling Cult lasted for five years. In the end, justice achieved complete victory. The Chongling Cult's peak A-rank leader was defeated by the head of our Evil Response Department, marking the Chongling Cult's defeat."

"I just didn't expect the captain to say that the power of the Chongling Cult has reappeared."

"Emily, send the captain's information to the higher-ups in the intelligence department immediately." Talina said to the petite Emily in an anxious tone.

"But we don't know where the Chongling Cult appeared, or who attacked the captain. We don't know any of this." Emily hesitated, her right hand finger gesturing on the portable microcomputer on her left wrist, but she still didn't send the message. "If we only tell the higher-ups about the Chongling Cult's appearance without any other supporting information, I feel it would be too abrupt."

"Why not wait until the captain wakes up, summarize the information he has learned, and then report it all to the boss? Wouldn't that be better?"

"There's no time to wait for the captain to wake up." Talina rejected Emily's idea without further thought. "Who knows how long it will take for the captain to wake up, and by then it will be too late. Tell the higher-ups about the Chongling Cult's appearance. They will definitely send more people to Beichuan City to search for any trace of the Chongling Cult."

"By the way, the captain went to Beichuan City this time to investigate the kidnapping case. Perhaps the guy behind the kidnapping is the remnant of the Chongling Cult. Report this speculation together." Talina said hurriedly. Emily's fingers tapped on the screen and soon sent an urgent letter to their third team's direct leader in the intelligence department.

Huo An walked out of the ward and said, "I'm going to sort out my weapons in case of emergency."

"Alright, we must carefully check everyone's weapons and equipment. I wonder if those weapons have rusted after these months of peace."

After arranging everything, Talina turned around and looked at Aicheng Hualian, the girl whose eyes could see through curses.

"Hua Lian, let me be frank. Your eyes are very special. Being able to see through curses, you are a powerful weapon for our evil spirit response department against the Chongling Cult."

"Does the Chongling Cult rely heavily on curses?" asked Aicheng Hualian.

"That's right." After giving a few instructions to Dr. Hu beside her, Talina left the ward with Aicheng Hualian, leaving Captain Donglan with a quiet place to rest.

She walked ahead and brought Aicheng Hualian to the database center of the Intelligence Department.

The computer in front of him, which was as big as a library, stored all the intelligence information from the past fifty years since the establishment of the Donghua City Intelligence Department.

Talina opened the database and found the page about the Chongling Cult, and showed the content to Aicheng Hualian.

"As a religion that worships evil spirits, the Spiritualist Cult is the first force in human history to attempt to harness the power of evil spirits."

"Their followers have spent decades researching how to combine demons with humans, allowing humans to gain the demons' power."

"Of course, their attempts have almost all ended in failure. However, this unethical experiment has also enabled the Spiritual Worship Cult to acquire a method of attack that can harness human psychic energy in a sinister manner."

"This attack method, based on psychic energy but used in a manner no different from that of evil spirits, is a curse. Because of its extremely concealed nature, the curse is like a bacteria or virus with a latent period, lurking within the human population until the opportunity is ripe for an outbreak, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

"But Hua Lian, you can see through these curses directly, which makes you the nemesis of the Chongling Cult."

"So, I can be of great use!" Aicheng Hualian shouted excitedly.

"Quite the opposite! From now on, you must not reveal your ability to see through curses to anyone," Talina ordered sternly. "You must keep your ability a secret. If you fail to do so, you will be hunted endlessly by the Spirit Worshipping Cult!"

Chapter 47: Inspector Kindness Arrives

"Hide your abilities?"

Hearing Talina's suggestion, which sounded almost like an order, Aicheng Hualian was a little confused.
