I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

"If we don't eliminate the evil god and allow it to grow, not only this space, but also the rest of the universe will be doomed."

"Sooner or later, the world you live in will be infected by the power of the evil god. When that happens, everything you hold close to you, your beloved companions, will perish like this garden."

"boom!"

The entire garden collapsed and was destroyed in front of Aicheng Hualian, like a fragile painting being burned to ashes by flames, revealing its rotten interior wrapped in false illusions.

Black smoke was coming out of the flowers, plants and trees, black blood was flowing from the stone pavilion, the sun in the sky quickly dimmed, and the entire space was covered with a layer of dark blue, as if it had been thrown into the abyss of the sea, suffering the ravages of evil energy.

"These are her evil energies." Aicheng Hualian looked at the surrounding scene in a daze. She was too familiar with this kind of energy. It was full of the tendency to devour everything, and it was as cold as the polar ice that penetrated the bones.

The fountain in the garden was gushing out dark liquid. In Aicheng Hualian's perception, the evil energy contained in the liquid was the most concentrated in this space.

That fountain is the core of the evil god's invasion here and the source of all evil energy in this space.

The statue turned its back to Aicheng Hualian, looking at the gradually collapsing space.

"Look at these evil energies. They are chaotic and disorderly, full of malice, and they only know how to destroy and devour."

"No matter how beautiful things are, they will only crumble before them. I could have wiped out that scourge of the universe, but you stood by it, aiding it and allowing it to erode my body. If that evil god defeats me, then everything will be over!"

"Now, although things are irreversible, with your help, I can still perish together with that evil god."

"So you understand? As long as you and I..."

"Gulu..."

Hearing the sound behind him, the figure quickly turned around to look.

"What are you doing!" She was horrified, her face without features twisted, and she yelled at Aicheng Hualian: "You are crazy!"

Right in front of her, Aicheng Hualian was lying on the edge of the fountain, diving into the black liquid in the fountain.

She ignored everything, opened her mouth wide, and drank the black liquid from the fountain in big gulps, swallowing the evil energy in the liquid into her stomach.

The psychic energy in her body was running at full capacity, giving her powerful regenerative abilities and preventing the evil energy from corroding her body.

Feeling that the speed was too slow, Aicheng Hualian simply jumped into the black spring water and soaked her body in the liquid full of evil energy.

"Gurgle..." A bubbling sound was heard and the spring water quickly dried up.

Aicheng Hualian's body was like a comfortable warm nest to these evil energies. The moment the evil energies touched her skin, they ran into her body on their own.

A few seconds later, she stood up, and black water droplets fell from the ends of her hair, leaving distorted lines on Aicheng Hualian's face.

Looking at the furious figure in front of her, she suddenly laughed and said, "What a mess of aiding and abetting evil, all I know is that that guy can't die, because I still want to live."

Chapter 76: Moral kidnapping? You've got the wrong person.

"You crazy person!"

The statue no longer had the compassionate look it had before. Its jade-like body trembled violently with anger. She pointed her finger directly at Aicheng Hualian's face and said, "I've said so much, didn't you listen? That evil god must be wiped out. For the sake of all things in this universe, it must die!"

"Think about your friends, your family, and everything you love! Don't let your willfulness ruin them."

"Yes! My friend!" The statue's tone suddenly became earnest. "If the evil god doesn't die, your friend... your name is Tsuzaki Mahiru, right? And your former teachers and classmates in the orphanage will all be corrupted by the evil god, and not even a corpse will be left! By then, you won't even have the chance to regret it!"

"There's still a chance to save him. If you don't want to see your friend die, join me in sending that evil god to hell."

"Ah poof..."

Aijo Karen spat out a mouthful of the black water in her body, smacked her lips, and muttered that the black spring water was really unpalatable. Then she raised her head and said to the statue in front of her, "You know a lot about this. Even Sister Mahiru and the teachers and classmates at the orphanage know about it."

"Indeed, if they died, it would really make me very sad."

"I knew you weren't the cold-blooded type. How about this? Let's strangle that evil god together. I'll find a way to save your life and build you a new heart."

"You?" Shaking her head, Aicheng Hualian felt a little amused. "How could you possibly create another heart for me with just your own space? Besides, I'm the evil god's breeder and have been raising her for five years. If you want me to kill her, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

"Are you really so cold-blooded? Your actions now will lead to the deaths of billions of lives! Sacrificing one to save ten thousand, no, saving billions of lives, isn't that a very worthwhile deal?"

As he spoke, the statue waved his hand, and the collapsed and decaying garden suddenly changed its appearance.

It became Donghua City where Aicheng Hualian lived.

They stood together on the street, watching the sun set. It was the time when children were leaving school and adults were leaving get off work. The afterglow of the setting sun gently caressed the city. Groups of students chattered, couples cuddled together, whispering sweet nothings. An elderly couple with their granddaughter was kind and gentle, and the aromas of snack shops wafted from their stalls. Everything was shrouded in a warm, orange veil, a prosperity so warm that one couldn't bear to disturb it.

"Look, this is the city you live in. People are living happily and the city is thriving."

The scene shifted to reveal a blue-haired girl humming a tune while making soup in the kitchen. The ghosts from the orphanage walked together, flying over the fields under a bright moon.

"Your friends, your former teachers and classmates are all enjoying their lives."

"But."

A mass of darkness suddenly appeared in a corner of the city, devouring everything with unstoppable fury. Children screamed as their skin and bones were peeled away, and adults were pushed into death in panic. The entire city was obliterated in an instant, leaving only a single color. It was a bottomless black, burying countless pitiful lives.

In the center of that darkness, there was an orange-haired girl covering her face and crying. It was Aijo Karen.

"Look at all this! This is the disaster you will bring in the future. They should have had a good life, but now they will die because of you."

"But!" The screen flashed again. The disaster just now was like a nightmare, which was uncovered by the holy power, revealing the safe and sound Donghua City.

"If you had stood with me now and slain the evil god, none of this would have happened. They would have been grateful for your sacrifice and would have engraved your name on the monument."

"Are you done?"

The human figure glared at Aijo Karen, only to find the orange-haired girl yawning and pushing the black tentacle that accidentally emerged from the corner of her mouth back into her mouth.

"After all this talk, your main point is just one sentence."

Looking at the human figure with naked contempt, Aicheng Hualian slowly said, "You, you want to use a tragic fantasy in your heart to make me, a human who has finally been reborn, accompany you to kill the god who gave me life."

"Honestly, it's so absurd it makes me laugh."

"Repaying kindness with enmity is a stain I cannot accept. Furthermore, the motivation for such behavior is nothing more than your own negative fantasy. I've only met you for a few minutes, and I'm not going to kill my own companions just because of a few words from you."

"Who says this universe will be destroyed by the existence of the evil god? Even if the evil god's nature is like this, as a breeder, I have the ability to restrain that creature."

"You? To restrain the evil god? How could a mortal like you possibly do that? Stop kidding!" The human figure trembled angrily, several cracks appearing on its jade-white body. "Did it drug you with something? It's what makes you so arrogant!"

"Why can't I do it?" Aicheng Hualian tilted her head in confusion. She grabbed a handful of dark evil energy from the ground, placed it in her palm, and held it tightly.

"hiss…"

The fel energy began to corrode her hand, but her strong regenerative ability offset the damage caused by the fel energy, so that the dark fel energy could not slip out of her palm, and could only stay in her hand and wriggle like a black jellyfish.

"You..." The human figure was stunned. She suddenly remembered that Aicheng Hualian had swallowed a large amount of evil energy before, but until now, the girl's body was still intact. Those evil energies seemed unable to hurt the orange-haired girl at all.

No, it wasn't that she couldn't be harmed. To be more precise, the damage caused by the fel energy was completely outmatched by the girl's regeneration speed.

"Maybe you don't know yet, but I'm just a C-rank psychic now." Aicheng Hualian kneaded the evil energy in his hands, watching the black gel being rubbed into various shapes.

"Do you understand now? You, whose total psychic energy far exceeds mine, are terrified of these evil energies. Meanwhile, I can soak in them like a hot spring, and treat them as snacks. There's a qualitative difference between you and me."

"Speaking of this, I'm reminded of a classic moral dilemma. I wonder if you've heard of it."

"A train is about to pass a fork in the track. Five people are tied to one track, and one person is tied to the other. Now, a human who can control the lane changer faces a choice - should he adjust the lane changer and let the train hit the one person? Or should he just stand by and watch the train follow its original route and kill the five people?"

"You told me that even though I was the one tied to the track, you wanted me to sacrifice myself for the safety of more lives."

At this point, Aicheng Hualian stared at the somewhat dazed figure and said word by word, "But I want to tell you, I don't need to make any choices, nor do I need to make any sacrifices."

She opened her mouth, tilted her head back and swallowed the evil energy in her hand. After chewing it twice, she swallowed it down her stomach and burped lightly.

"Because I'm the one who can stop the train."

Chapter 77 My Favorite Enemy Is the One Who Fears Death

"I...I don't believe it!"

The statue roared, and the false illusion of prosperity was shattered, revealing a dilapidated garden.

As if because of the wavering of will, the garden that was about to collapse turned into a gray area, with black tentacles dancing wildly in the air and gray mucus scattered everywhere.

"I don't believe you can control that guy! We must kill that evil god!"

In the gloom, a multicolored light flickered and rose, wrapping around the human figure's body. Vast spiritual energy spread out, forcibly squeezing out a colorful space within the darkness.

This space enveloped Aicheng Hualian. For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the scene where the evil god was fighting with the space. However, this time, she had to bear all the pressure alone.

"I really shouldn't have expected anything from you! Every evil god has his own followers! You're just like that guy, arrogant and ruthless. You must be wiped out!"

"Even if I can't beat that guy, I'm going to kill you first!"

The human figure roared, its voice filled with despair and anger, and swung its fist towards Aicheng Hualian's face.

Colorful spiritual energy swirled around the jade-like arm, pointing directly at Aicheng Hualian's forehead. Before it even made contact, the powerful pressure from the spiritual energy was firmly exerted on Aicheng Hualian, making her unable to move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the fist smashed into her forehead.

However, just because she couldn't resist it didn't mean the evil energy in her body was useless.

"puff!"

He spat out a large mouthful of black liquid from his mouth. The liquid filled with evil energy twisted and spun in the air, quickly becoming viscous, and formed a black wall in front of Aicheng Hualian.

"boom!"

The human figure's fist smashed against the black wall, and a corrosive sound was heard immediately, burning black spots on her arms that were surrounded by colorful light, which continued to spread to her body.

"Damn evil energy."

She decisively cut off her arm, twisted her body, and concentrated the rotational force from her shoulder all the way down to her left foot. She kicked up and directly kicked the black wall into pieces.

Before the fragments fell to the ground, a black spike rushed from the front and pierced the chest of the human figure, forcing her to dodge sideways.

"hateful!"

"I'm just a mortal, can't I just die obediently?"

The human body was emitting an intense light, as if ten suns were contained in its body. For a moment, the space was bright and endless heat enveloped every inch of it.

"Go to hell!"

She cupped her hands in front of her, forming a sphere. As soon as the sphere appeared, the space collapsed under its weight, and dark cracks revealed the pain of space itself. Aicheng Hualian felt waves of stinging pain radiating across her skin, a warning from her body as it faced death.

"No matter how much evil energy you devour, you are still essentially human. Rather than being consumed by the evil god and suffering a tormented death in the future, let me help you free yourself now!"

The colorful ball flew in front of Aicheng Hualian, and the black evil energy that came out of her chest was no less powerful. It transformed into a sharp cone as long as an arm and pierced into the body of the colorful ball.

"boom!"

The huge explosion made Aicheng Hualian deaf in an instant. The shock wave blew her away like a leaf in the wind. Her body rubbed violently with the rich spiritual energy in this space, causing her whole body to catch fire and fly away like a meteor.

The evil energy that she had swallowed before had all been used up in this collision, and her spiritual energy was also exhausted in the struggle to resist the corrosiveness of the evil energy.

"Whoosh!"

Sensing her weakness, his body flashed with colorful light.

A plan emerged in her mind. Once it appeared, it expanded rapidly in her consciousness, crowding out all her other thoughts.

Now is the best time! If he could kidnap Aijo Karen and use her as a hostage to threaten the evil god, he might still have a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, the attack in the human statue's hand slowed down a little. She flashed behind Aicheng Hualian and turned her palm into a knife to cut towards the back of Aicheng Hualian's neck.

If this attack hits, Aicheng Hualian will fall unconscious on the spot with his physical fitness and become a fish at the mercy of others.

And she can use Aicheng Hualian as a bargaining chip to force the evil god to make concessions.

"You have a really good relationship with that evil god! Then you and it will become pawns in my hands!"

The palm wind whistled, cutting through the space.

Just when Aicheng Hualian was about to be defeated, she suddenly turned in the air, and bright red flames rose from her hands, clamping towards the palm that was slashing towards her.

"Snapped!"

The psychic energies collided, and Aicheng Hualian, like a bare-handed sword, clamped the palm of the human figure tightly. The bright red psychic energy and the colorful psychic energy clashed together, exploding into sparks.

"How can this be!"

The human figure exclaimed in shock and anger once again, "In this space, nothing can be hidden from my eyes. You just now definitely don't have any psychic powers!"

"You're right. I just acquired these spiritual powers."

Aicheng Hualian looked at the statue in front of him and said, "I have you to thank for this."

"Thank me?"

"Just now... did you have the thought of wanting to live? Did you see me cornered and wanted to use me as a bargaining chip to threaten the evil god?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Don't lie anymore. Your will to live was so strong that it almost overflowed at that moment." Aicheng Hualian smiled confidently, revealing two rows of bloody teeth.
