I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

Letting go of the evil god's face, Aicheng Hualian looked at the other's indifferent expression and suddenly realized that as an evil god girl, her values ​​and way of thinking were completely different from those of humans.

If you want the other person to move around in human society, you must teach him some things about humans.

This doesn't mean that human cultural laws should be used to restrain the other party's behavior. That would be too cheap for an evil god.

But at the very least, the other party should be able to control his or her impulses to avoid causing irreparable tragedies.

First of all, we must make the evil god abandon his own tyrannical behavior that belongs to a god.

The first step was to change the way Aicheng Hualian addressed him. Constantly calling him an evil god would be like repeatedly reminding him of his identity, hindering his integration into human society.

"Well, since you've chosen Kagura Hikaru as your name, from now on, whether in front of others or between us in private, I will only call you Kagura Hikaru."

"Hmm... No, that's too formal. I'm going to give you a nickname." Aicheng Hualian's eyes rolled, and she carefully considered her relationship with him. She clapped her hands happily, "By the way, since I'm your breeder, I'll call you Xiaoguang! How about that?"

【…】

Sounds like a pet's name.

"Silence means I agree. And from now on, when you call me, you must call me by my name, not 'keeper', and don't call me by 'container'!"

【…】

"Hehe, then Xiaoguang, please give me your guidance in the future." Aicheng Hualian put his left hand on his waist and stretched out his right hand towards the evil god.

Contrary to his nonchalant appearance, the evil god directly stretched out his hand and held Aicheng Hualian's hand.

"Hua Lian..." Murmuring softly, the evil god adapted to the new name for his breeder.

"Yes, that's right. Xiaoguang is great. I'll give you three candies as a reward."

After handing the peeled candies to the evil god, Aicheng Hualian watched with a smile as the evil god ate the three candies.

In a trance, she began to imitate the encouraging expressions of the three teachers in the orphanage when they were teaching the children.

However, she was not facing a child, but an evil god.

……

"The offensive was stopped, and lives were saved."

Still in shock, Tsuzaki Mahiru covered her chest and leaned against a corner, breathing slightly.

She looked up at the orange sky, and it seemed like very little time had passed.

"It seems that everything just now was just a contest in the consciousness space."

"What kind of existence is this subdimensional creature that has established a connection with Kagura Hikaru? Even Master Renzeshu can't resist it?"

It is true that there are always people better than you.

"I'm not qualified to think about such questions right now. Fortunately, the other party has a good relationship with Hua Lian... It's a blessing in disguise."

Thinking of this, Tsuzaki Mahiru quickly took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Junna? Yes, I'm Mahiru. Didn't I ask you to help me find the information of that Kagura Hikaru? Stop right now and cancel this mission!"

"It's not what you think. In short, this mission must be canceled! What? The Chongling Cult? It has nothing to do with the Chongling Cult!"

After hanging up the phone, Tsuzaki Mahiru sighed.

Spiritualism?

Compared with the subspace creature just now, this old rival of the Evil Response Department may not be enough to fill the gap in teeth.

Chapter 102: Start searching!

After calming down, Tsuzaki Mahiru arrived at Route 912.

In front of her, the entire highway had been blocked, with vehicles with sirens blaring blocking both ends of the road. The accident scene was surrounded by three circles of roadblocks and horizontal bars, marking out a restricted area.

The guards standing on both sides of the road, dressed in full dark blue uniforms and armed to the teeth, were not part of the government police force, but rather the police force of the evil response department.

The evil response department is to some extent superior to the local government and has its own armed forces.

Although governments around the world are too embarrassed to admit it, to a certain extent, the military strength of the Evil Response Department (including the strength of all psychics) is greater than the sum of all other countries on a global scale.

The reason is simple: the two sides shoulder different responsibilities. A nation's military is responsible for protecting its own people and territory, while the evil response department protects all of human civilization and even the entire planet.

In the beginning, some leaders of certain countries did complain about this phenomenon, but after suffering several attacks from the evil spirits of the warp, the politicians of those countries kept their mouths shut.

"Investigator, you're here."

Bowing to Tsuzaki Mahiru, the guards made way for her with respect, allowing her to enter the accident scene and conduct an investigation.

She looked at the people around her. Each of them was a G-rank or higher psyker. They joined the department with the wish to protect humanity and dedicated their youth and blood and sweat to the front line of the fight against the warp.

But... thinking of the giant black jellyfish that had just taken over the sky, Tsuzaki Mahiru felt heavy in her heart. A single wave of its tentacles was enough to wipe out the people before her from this world.

"My strength is still not enough..." she murmured in her heart. As the head of the Operations Department of Donghua City, she must be responsible for her subordinates.

"How's the analysis going now?" Putting aside the depression in her heart, Tsuzaki Mahiru asked an engineer beside her with a smile.

"Report, Investigator! We have analyzed all the energy molecules in this space. In addition to the blood centipede evil energy molecules I told you about before, we have also discovered two unknown energies."

"One is a psychic energy we've never seen before, roughly D-level. But the more important one is a fel energy. It's arguably one of the most complex fel energies we've discovered so far."

"How complicated is it?" A bad premonition emerged in Tsuzaki Mahiru's mind.

Generally speaking, the more complex the structure of the evil energy molecules, the higher the level of the evil behind them, and the greater the potential danger.

"We..." The engineer shook his head slowly and said, "We don't know. We have nothing to compare it with..."

……

Standing in front of the computer screen, Tsuzaki Mahiru looked at the blurry images on the screen.

This is a picture of Highway 912 taken by a high-altitude satellite. Strangely, the special psychic satellite, which used to have extremely high accuracy, became very blurry when photographing the scene of the incident, as if it was covered with a layer of white cotton cloth. Not to mention the facial features of the people, even things as big as trucks became a white mass in the satellite's perspective.

"During the battle on Highway 912, the satellite took a total of 3647 images, of which we attempted to perform ultra-clear restoration, but only three were successful."

Taking the three photos in her hands, Tsuzaki Mahiru looked at them carefully.

In the first photo, a truck is overturned and a man is lying on the ground, twisting his body and seeming to be in inhuman pain. In front of the man is a mysterious man wearing black clothes and a mask on his head.

In the remaining two photos, the man had disappeared, leaving only a large dark blue puddle waving countless tentacles, swallowing everything around it.

"What kind of evil spirit is this?" Looking at the puddle of tentacle water, Tsuzaki Mahiru frowned. She searched all the knowledge in her mind, but nothing could match the dark blue puddle of tentacle water in the photo.

"Sorry, we don't know either. There's no record of that form of evil spirit in the Federation database."

That would be troublesome.

Tsuzaki Mahiru summarized the information she had obtained.

There are three types of energy, one of which is the known evil energy from the evil blood centipede, and the remaining two are unknown evil energy and psychic energy.

The photo shows a man and a mysterious person, and finally a pool of black and blue tentacle water.

"Who's raising this evil blood centipede? Is it that mysterious person, or that man?"

"The man was in great pain before his death, as if something was gnawing at his body. It was very similar to the state of those fanatical followers of the Spirit Worship Cult who raise evil spirits when they are at their wit's end."

Considering the recent frequent kidnapping cases related to the Chongling Cult, Tsuzaki Mahiru narrowed his eyes and immediately made a bold guess.

"That man was the fanatic of the Chongling Cult who raised the blood centipede, and the mysterious man was probably the so-called private investigator. A fight broke out between them, and the noise attracted the attention of a mysterious evil spirit, which suddenly rushed out and devoured both the mysterious man and the fanatic of the Chongling Cult."

"Well, Investigator..." the engineer beside him reminded, "Actually, based on the energy measurements in the air, that mysterious guy might not be dead. Because the two unknown energies in the air are more active than the blood centipede's evil energy, this means that the hosts of both energies survived to the end."

Not dead! ?

An idea suddenly dawned on Tsuzaki Mahiru, which meant that the psychic was still alive after the battle with the unknown evil.

"Immediately search the information on this photo and list the names of all similar psychics. I will personally visit them!"

As the Director of Operations for Donghua City, she would never allow such a dangerous evil spirit to appear around the city. She had to learn more about the evil spirit.

"But Minister, this will involve the platforms of those private investigators. What if those platforms don't allow us to investigate?"

"What else do you want to do?" Tsuzaki Mahiru said coldly, "Those who refuse to cooperate with the investigation will be brought to the department for investigation!"

……

"This suit is nice, it fits you very well." Putting a black base uniform with ice-blue patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, which looked like a suit overall, on the evil god, Aicheng Hualian looked at the "stunningly handsome" girl in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.

Look at this tall and well-proportioned figure, the waist-length hair, the skin as white as ice and snow, the facial features with soft lines yet angular, and a pair of eyes that seem to be taken from the abyss of the sea. It is simply like a work of art.

If she could smile, she would probably charm a lot of people... But who would have thought that beneath this good-looking appearance, there are endless, sticky, dark tentacles?

When they arrived at the basement, Kagura Hikaru stretched out his hand and pointed at the space in front of him, and a round hole with a diameter of five meters suddenly opened up.

"Um... Karen, hunting..."

The evil god spoke word by word, his voice cold and pleasant.

Now she is learning to speak like a child.

"Let's go and take a look at the Yelan River first. I wonder what this place where evil spirits gather looks like."

Chapter 103: The Power of the Evil God

"Honda Osamu is dead."

"Well, he died like a stray dog ​​on the roadside, without even a scream. It seems the bishop misjudged him. He did not complete the mission entrusted to him by the Holy Church."

In the dim room, flickering candlelight, two figures in gray robes sat facing each other. Their shadows were cast on the wall by the candlelight, casting twisting and writhing shadows on the dark red stone bricks, covering most of the wall.

"You're wrong, Sarina." Placing the offerings on the chopping board in front of him, the man looked at the three-headed statue before him. The candlelight beside him painted half of his face red. "The moment the kidnapping occurred, Tsuneda Osamu had already completed his mission."

"What's important isn't his actions, or even the sacrifices themselves. The message his actions convey is crucial. Because of the kidnapping, the upper echelons of human society must be taking action."

"Action?" The girl named Sarina took an apple from the table used for the sacrificial offering and took a bite. After a crisp sound, a row of teeth marks were left on the offering. "Those bloated guys will take measures to protect ordinary people? Do you believe what the bishop said?"

The man called the Bishop chuckled and touched the wound on his arm. "Those people certainly wouldn't give the security they enjoy to ordinary people."

……

"So what is this so-called isolation plan?" Hoshimi Junna, or the Dream Chaser Investigator, looked at the documents placed in front of her.

At the top of the document are four big words: "Isolation Plan".

She had already read the document. It was tens of thousands of words long, but its core content consisted of a single sentence: "Led by the Director of the Tianyi City Public Security Bureau, high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals from several cities have expressed their approval and launched a campaign to [isolate high-value talents and social elites, provide them with dedicated living quarters and security measures to protect them from the evil spirits of the subspace and related forces].

The words sound nice, but these powerful people just want to be independent from society and use their power and wealth to build a safe zone where "civilians are not allowed to enter".

"This practice... is simply..."

Hoshimi Jun couldn't find words to describe it at that moment.

Faced with the threat of the evil in the warp, it is human nature for everyone to want to protect themselves.

In fact, more than a thousand years ago, when the evil spirits in the warp were plaguing the world, the princes and nobles of various kingdoms built their own safe fortresses, isolating their own people outside and watching the evil spirits slaughtering people in the city.

But for some reason, this practice of artificially separating the "upper class" from the "grassroots class" has disappeared in modern times and no longer appears.

But now, this document is placed in front of Junna Hoshimi. The content and words described in it are sincere, as if the person is working hard for the future of human society. However, its true intention makes Junna Hoshimi think that she has returned to the feudal society more than a thousand years ago.

What? Is history going backwards?

Moreover, this document was only a notification, not a request for approval from her, the Minister of Intelligence.

The earthly paradise belonging to the "social elite" has already begun to be built in some places.

"Is it because of the kidnapping?"

Hoshimi Junna was thinking secretly.

Recent kidnappings have rattled the ruling class of Nanling Prefecture. For some reason, the kidnappers are singling out the younger generation. If they'd targeted civilians, it would have been fine. Officials in official positions could have expressed their condolences and regrets on television, perhaps even shifting the blame to the evil-relief response department. But the kidnappers are singling out their own children. How can this be tolerated?

What is even more troublesome is that the kidnappers seem to be in collusion with the Chongling Cult, and the means they use during kidnapping are all supernatural powers, making it impossible for secular police forces to solve the case.

The power of the Demonic Response Department couldn't possibly be harnessed by these secular powers. The daily appearance of Warp demons in various locations already consumed the majority of the response department's attention, leaving them with no time to address these kidnappings. If word got out that the Demonic Response Department had dispatched investigators, who were supposed to be protecting the entire city, to protect the children of a wealthy and powerful official, the department's credibility would be completely shattered.

Therefore, the victims can only seek help from private investigators, but the quality of private investigators varies greatly, and some kidnapping cases are delayed again and again.

"So, the social elites, who were distraught because their children had been kidnapped, began to unite and try to build a safe zone for the elite, isolating themselves from all potential dangers."

Everything seems so reasonable and logical, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Hoshimi Jun felt something was strange.

Those kidnappers who specifically target specific groups of people have never been reported to be demanding money, as if they were just kidnapping people for fun.

"Is this a demonstration? Telling others that the response department's forces can't guarantee their own safety, and trying to undermine the department's prestige in this way?"
