I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

But three seconds later, four figures rushed up from the secret passage buried underground, quickly landed around the pool of black gelatinous substance, and surrounded the unknown evil spirit by standing at the four corners of a square.

Four different E-level psychic energy fluctuations intertwined in the air, and the four of them simultaneously smashed their spiritual skills at the strange evil. They used combat methods that they had practiced hundreds of times, vowing to wipe out the unknown evil in front of them.

The spiritual skill fell on the ground where the evil spirit was, exploding into thick smoke and dust. Without even a scream, the evil spirit disappeared. It seemed that it was killed and turned into powder.

One of them said with a bit of amusement: "How many years has it been since we were disturbed by evil spirits here?"

"I don't know." The other man said in a low voice, not as relaxed as his colleague. "But it's not a good thing to let evil spirits invade a place like this."

"Indeed. I don't know what that thing is. The fel detection array outside the department didn't even detect it. It looks like a ball of mud. And I don't think it has any fel energy at all. It must be some small creature from the Warp that accidentally ran into reality."

The four of them took out special equipment and calmly walked into the small pit blasted out by the spiritual skill, ready to collect the remnants of the evil spirits, without any sense of tension.

Inside the intelligence department, Yuko Kobayashi was desperately slapping the red alarm button on the table with both hands.

She looked at the scene on the screen, her eyes wide with horror.

A circle of black, sticky substance clearly surrounded the four members of the emergency team! It slowly moved toward them on the ground, like a tightening snare, ready to strangle the four trapped lambs.

"That evil spirit hasn't been destroyed at all! It took advantage of the smoke to spread and enveloped them all!"

It really is true that there is smoke but no harm.

She screamed in her heart, wishing she could rush out and alert the members of the emergency team to leave there quickly.

But she was just a psychic of the lowest level. Even the four E-level emergency team members fell into the trap. If she went out, wouldn't she be giving herself up?

Yuko had no choice but to hit the alarm button, but then she was even more horrified to find that the alarm button was ineffective! All the messages for help were intercepted in her monitoring room, like an invisible barrier isolating this room from the outside world.

"How is this possible? How did the evil spirit know how to block the signal?"

Yuko's face turned pale instantly. She looked up at the camera in the corner of the ceiling and found that it was covered with a layer of black gelatinous substance.

That evil spirit is in this room!

"Gulu..."

A strange sound, like bubbling in the mud, came from beside her feet.

A pool of black, sticky substance bubbled up on the ground like oil.

This is not the end yet. A pair of ferocious claws pierced out from the black slime, followed by a lizard-like head with barbs, rugged shoulders and a back with an exposed spine, and finally a pair of thick legs covered with tentacle patterns. The soles of its feet stepped on the ground, corroding two pits.

Kobayashi Yuko looked at the pitch-black "lizard-man monster" in front of her and exclaimed, "A human-shaped evil spirit!?"

The visitor was none other than Aicheng Hualian, who had launched the surprise attack.

Chapter 54 Everything is going according to plan

Humanoid evil spirit is a technical term.

Generally speaking, the larger the size of the evil spirit, the stronger it is. However, if the evil spirit looks very similar to a human, then this rule will be broken.

An evil spirit that strengthens itself by devouring human emotions. If it looks like a human, it can only mean one thing - this evil spirit has a very strong status, or "talent", just like a D-rank investigator among humans, a one in a million existence.

Every time a human-shaped evil spirit appears, it will cause a huge sensation, and the official evil spirit investigators must be dispatched immediately to drive the human-shaped evil spirit back to the subspace.

Of course, these humanoid monsters are extremely rare, with no more than a hundred sightings worldwide each year, so ordinary staff members like Yuko Kobayashi have only seen them in textbooks.

Distance creates a sense of security, and she doesn't think the so-called human-shaped evil spirits are something worth taking seriously.

Until today, until this moment, when she faced a humanoid evil spirit in person, she finally understood why textbooks had to list a chapter specifically for it.

The air seemed to freeze, and her body's instinct made her tremble. If she hadn't been sitting on the chair, she would probably have collapsed to the ground and turned into the same type of black gelatinous substance on the ground.

Was it fear? No, more like a hopeless despair that felt powerless.

Obviously, the other party was just moving slowly in the room and didn't hurt her at all, but she felt a despair that penetrated into her bones.

It was as if her life had come to an end the moment this evil lizard-like creature appeared.

She couldn't judge the other party's level of evil energy, because the spiritual energy flowing in her veins had long been stagnant, as if some fragile little creature tried to escape by playing dead when encountering its natural enemy.

"Damn it! Why did I encounter such an evil spirit?"

Yuko Kobayashi's legs trembled as she looked at the "lizard man" in front of her, who was covered in black and covered with hideous bone spurs. She felt that she was unlucky.

Fortunately, she didn't drink too much water before, otherwise her death might have been accompanied by a shameful water stain.

Time slowly slipped away in Kobayashi Yuko's torment. A few minutes later, she looked at the evil spirit pacing slowly in the monitoring room, and a trace of doubt emerged in her fear-filled mind.

The other party seemed to have no killing intentions? Otherwise, she would have been a corpse by now.

if it is like this……

She glanced at the surveillance screen secretly, where four E-level psychics from the emergency team were fighting a desperate battle with the black slime that attacked from behind. As long as she delayed long enough, she might be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

But how to delay time?

Should she start a conversation with the evil spirit in front of her? And then discover that the other party also has some difficulties that force her to invade reality, allowing her to enter the evil spirit's heart and influence it with sympathy and love?

That is an ability that only the omnipotent Asian protagonist has, but Yuko Kobayashi does not have that confidence.

I had no choice but to be a wooden man, sitting here quietly, reducing my presence to the minimum, and praying in my heart to the gods whose existence I don’t know. It seems that this is the right thing to do.

……

Inside this set of "Lizardman Evil" armor condensed with the power of the evil god, Aicheng Hualian had no idea what the trembling lady next to him was thinking.

She allowed the evil energy in her body to invade the entrances of all the pipelines in the monitoring room, and watched as the dark evil energy was transmitted through this "heart" to other parts of the entire intelligence department, setting off more and more alarms.

At the same time, she was suffering from the backlash from the evil energy.

"These evil energies are indeed difficult to control."

In the past, she had used the power of the evil god and utilized his aura to her advantage. Although the power was not to be underestimated, it was not difficult to control.

But now, the evil energy in her body comes from a strand of hair of the evil god. It is the real original power, and its power is incomparable.

In addition, in order to hide the fact that he was a psychic, Aicheng Hualian drained all his psychic energy in advance, leaving only the evil energy in his body.

At this time, without the buffer of psychic energy, these evil energies began to show their extremely aggressive true face.

They began to corrode and devour her flesh and blood, tearing off the tissue on her blood vessels and internal organs, and swallowing them into the dark fel energy.

It was a tingling sensation as if thousands of ants were drilling into one's heart. The tingling sensation would spread wherever the evil energy in the body flowed. If the evil energy touched the nerves, the corrosiveness would turn into extreme pain and pierce into the girl's brain along the bioelectric current. Even someone with such a strong will as Aicheng Hualian would tremble all over.

"It's really not pleasant to directly use the power of the evil god for the first time."

Her teeth chattered together, and thanks to the black armor she was wearing, the lady next to her did not notice her abnormality.

"coming!"

At this moment, the psychic fluctuations coming from the corridor made Aicheng Hualian happy.

The evil energy she released eventually attracted the strong men in the intelligence department.

This is exactly what she wants! Only when the Intelligence Department realizes the seriousness of this invasion will they mobilize various psychic devices to hunt her down. By then, the [Spirit Fixation] device she longs for will be exposed to the sun, making it easier for her to seize it.

The door of the monitoring room was kicked open. Before Aicheng Hualian could turn around, dozens of bullets flew through the air and whistled towards her head.

"Ms. Yuko, get out!"

Along with the whistling of bullets, a male voice that was somewhat familiar to Aicheng Hualian was heard.

She tilted her head casually, dodging dozens of bullets. She looked at the man who rushed into the room, and her brows under the armor raised slightly.

The visitor turned out to be Huo An, who was in charge of intelligence and reconnaissance operations in the third team of the Intelligence Department to which she belonged.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Amused by the coincidence, she smiled slightly, raised her left hand, and then brought it down.

The ceiling of the monitoring room suddenly deformed, opening a huge gap. Several black tentacles as thick as an adult's waist rushed down from the ceiling and twisted towards Huo An's head.

Although this is only her unilateral performance, she still has to play her role well.

"Such a powerful evil energy! Has it actually materialized? D-rank!?"

Huo An's face was as gloomy as water. He bent backward nimbly to avoid the tentacles rushing down from the ceiling, and then jumped a few times to distance himself from Aicheng Hualian.

At this moment, the tall and thin man with narrow eyes had a face as gloomy as water. After just one round, he knew that he was no match for the evil creature in front of him. Even if he cloned ten more of himself, the result of defeat would not change.

"No wonder he dared to invade our intelligence department alone."

Without any hesitation, he pressed the small red button on the walkie-talkie and sent a call for help to all the armed personnel on duty in the Intelligence Department.

And all of this is moving in the direction that Aicheng Hualian expects.

Chapter 55: Battle

"After the call for help is sent, it will take at least three minutes for others to arrive. Before that, I must hold back this evil creature in front of me!"

Catching a glimpse of Kobayashi Yuko's hastily fleeing back, Huo An breathed a sigh of relief and focused all his attention on the strange-looking evil creature in front of him.

He couldn't judge the other party's level. Rather, the evil creature in front of him gave him the feeling of a black stone, without much evil energy fluctuation at all.

But those tentacles formed by evil energy cannot be faked.

"Its fel energy level is higher than mine... and much higher, so I don't even have the qualifications to judge its strength."

Is the opponent a D-rank evil spirit?

"It's really unpleasant."

A few drops of cold sweat flowed down the side of Huo An's head.

"D-rank demonic attacks in Donghua City rarely exceed ten per year, and only official investigators can resolve them. I never imagined I'd have to face such an opponent. This wasn't even part of my plan."

Huo An, as a member of the third team responsible for intelligence and reconnaissance operations, has to face various dangers every time he goes on a mission, so he pays great attention to making plans.

The three skeletons of the action, namely logistical preparation before investigation, data collection process during investigation, and information summary after investigation, require one plan after another to fill them with flesh and blood.

He hated all kinds of unplanned variables, hated unexpected enemies, and hated facing things beyond his ability.

His job is like walking on a tightrope. If he is not careful, he will be doomed. Even his direct superior cannot ask him to take on responsibilities beyond the set goals.

Now, these three things he hated the most appeared before him at the same time. The lizardman was evil, of unknown level, and far more powerful than him. Moreover, this was an unexpected situation, and he was completely unprepared.

In the past, he would have immediately applied to end the action, even if it would have added a stain of failure to his resume.

But now he couldn't retreat because the Intelligence Department was right behind him.

"Try your best to hold them off. We have no plan to deal with a D-rank enemy."

He reached into the pocket at his waist with his left hand and found only a dozen special psychic bullets that he always carried with him.

He raised his pistol, emptied the magazine, and fired several bullets from all angles at the evil spirit in front.

Huo An used his psychic power to enhance his vision and gun handling ability, and used the spiritual skill [Thousand Steps Kill]. He could hit any target within a thousand meters of him without missing a single shot.

The premise is that the target is a target that does not move.

Aicheng Hualian raised his left hand, and several tentacles rushed out from the ground, blocking the bullets before they arrived.

"Want to stop it? Not that easy."

Under Huo An's control, the special psychic bullet was like a silk thread, it circled an elegant arc in the air, jumped over the tentacles, and rushed directly to Aicheng Hualian's cheek.

"Oh!"

The bullet collided with the pitch-black shell, sending out sparks and the smoke and dust dissipated, but not even a scratch was left.

Aicheng Hualian felt the "Lizardman" armor made of fel energy and his own flesh and blood, and initially judged that it should be no problem to withstand the full-strength attack of an E-level peak psychic.

As for why she chose to make her armor look like a "lizardman," it was because she had watched an animated series in an orphanage as a child, and the boss in the show was a ferocious lizardman. She used that boss's appearance as a template for her own armor, doing her best to mold the jet-black armor into an inhuman form.

In this way, anyone who saw her would never believe that the person inside this set of lizardman armor was an orange-haired girl who was only eighteen years old.

"The evil energy contained in the strand of hair the evil god gave me should be around C-rank, which is exactly the same as my previous psychic energy level. It seems that they are worried that too much evil energy will cause my body to collapse."

The rank of the evil energy is C-level, but the total amount of evil energy is more than that.

In the center and slightly to the left of Aicheng Hualian's chest, where the heart originally belonged, there was a pitch-black thread. That thread was continuously producing dark and strange evil energy, which was transported to Aicheng Hualian's whole body to replenish her consumption.

"Oh!"

Several more bullets came from the front. The bullets turned several times in the air and hit Aicheng Hualian's neck, eyebrows and weak joints, but the effect was very general. She just felt a little shock, not even a trace of pain.

"It's just right. I'm testing my other data while using the evil power of the evil god."

She stepped on the ground with both feet, leaving behind a pair of four-clawed footprints. A violent reaction force exploded instantly, turning her into a flash of black light, instantly crossing the distance between her and Huo An, and disappearing from the other's eyes.

It was so fast! I didn't even realize it!
