I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

She glanced at Kagura Hikaru beside her, feeling the surging evil energy in the other's body.

Aicheng Hualian knew that now, with the help of the evil god's power, she could run rampant in Donghua City. If she wanted, the two of them could wipe out that evil gathering place right now.

But the price is that the identities of the two will be exposed, and she will not be able to stay in Donghua City. The identity of a private investigator that she has been operating for a long time will be wasted, and the ghost of the orphanage will lose her protection.

Recklessness and arrogance are the most deadly enemies, and Aicheng Hualian understands this deeply.

Coincidentally, a girl drawing water on the river bank attracted her attention.

"Go ask her some questions."

Chapter 106: Stone Moving Futaba

The girl who was drawing water from the river was petite, and at first glance her height seemed only up to Aicheng Hualian's shoulders. Her cherry-red hair looked a little gray due to the stains in the air. The clothes she wore were covered with wrinkles of time, and she exuded the air of poverty from head to toe.

At this moment, the girl was carrying a wooden bucket, scooping up water from the river. She didn't care about the dark, smelly sewage that made her frown, but just picked up the bucket and staggered towards the nearest village, as if she was going home.

The other party must be a local here, Aicheng Hualian thought.

If you want to know about the surrounding situation, asking locals is naturally the best choice.

"Xiao Guang, remember, you just need to stand behind me and keep quiet. Don't make any unnecessary movements." She did not forget to remind the evil god behind her, telling him not to make any movements without her permission.

"Yeah." Kagura Hikaru nodded slightly.

Even though she was so hungry that she wanted to swallow a whole mountain, she still had to listen to her breeder.

Any other evil god would have gone berserk the moment they entered their hunting state, devouring everything around them in their cravings. However, Kagura Hikari was different. She possessed her own consciousness, even giving herself a human name. The hunger of her hunting state couldn't yet control her consciousness; she remained the master of her own evil god body.

Of course, if she still hadn't eaten after a few months, she wouldn't be able to control what would happen next. The first person to suffer would probably be the breeder walking in front of her.

The back of the orange-haired girl was reflected in her eyes. The ends of her hair behind the mask were draped over her neck, swaying with the pace of her walking, like several flames in the setting sun.

As expected... eating the other person is something she cannot accept now.

The girl in front of him had become a breeder, a container, a necessary mother during the breeding period, and a core projection target. These various identities were superimposed on her, far exceeding the original content of the contract.

If Hualian really couldn't feed her within the allotted time, she would rather regress to her previous dormant state than devour Aicheng Hualian.

After all, as long as there is enough energy, even if it degenerates, there is a chance to evolve again.

And if Aicheng Hualian died, it would take who knows how many epochs before the next life that was so compatible with her and could serve as her breeding mother would appear.

As for the degenerated form causing other beings to spy on it...this kind of thing will work itself out when the time comes.

This is information that only she knows now, and Aicheng Hualian knows nothing about it.

The orange-haired girl still thought that she was just a feeder and would die if she was not fed.

But perhaps this would be better, letting the other party immerse themselves in the lies of crisis. With sufficient pressure, the breeder would be forced to actively grow, until Aicheng Hualian's strength and status could reach the same level as his own. Only then would the other party be qualified to shoulder the real responsibility.

While thinking these things, the man and the god had already walked up to the girl drawing water.

They wore masks with a black base. Aijo Karen's mask was carved with red flames, and she wore a tight-fitting combat uniform. Kagura Hikaru's mask had dark blue tentacle-like patterns, and she wore a large black cloak.

The reason why the evil god is wearing a cloak is just to be on the safe side.

If the evil god's body failed to suppress the evil energy fluctuations within the opponent's body, and tentacles or something like that emerged from the surface of the body, then this cloak could still play a certain role in concealing it. At the very least, it would not be exposed by others immediately.

Just like that, two people wearing masks and dressed in frighteningly serious clothes stood in front of the girl.

One of them looked like a professional killer from a movie or TV show, while the other looked more like a fugitive on a wanted poster.

As if shocked by the momentum of the two men, the bucket on the girl's shoulder fell to the ground, and the black river water inside jumped out of the edge of the barrel and spilled onto the ground.

"Don't be afraid, little sister, we just want to ask you a few questions." Slowing down her tone, Aicheng Hualian spoke to the other party gently.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"I... my name is Ishido Futaba," said the girl, who barely reached Aishiro Karen's shoulders. She assumed a fighting stance she had learned from somewhere and slowly retreated. "What are you two sisters doing? I... my family is in the village behind."

"Don't be afraid. I just want to ask if there's a valley nearby." Aicheng Hualian pointed to the valley floor emitting a strong, evil aura and asked the girl in front of her, "I just want to know if many people have entered that valley and never come out again?"

Upon hearing this, the girl named Ishido Futaba looked up in surprise and looked at the black mask with red patterns in front of her. "How did you know that, sister?"

"Because I'm a private investigator who specializes in solving these problems."

"Private investigator?" The girl's face showed more and more doubt.

It seems that the other party has never heard of this profession.

Indeed, this impoverished and remote area wasn't visited by many, and information was very isolated. There was a D-rank demonic gathering place nearby, but there wasn't even a single demonic response unit guarding it.

Feeling pity for her, Aicheng Hualian explained to the girl in front of him, "It's okay if you don't know, sister, but we're good people who want to solve the problem in that valley. Well, we're like the police."

Looking at the other person's poor clothes, Aicheng Hualian took out a few banknotes from his trouser pocket and handed them to the other person, "How about this, if my sister can tell us the information we want, this pocket money will be yours."

"This..." Looking at the money in front of her, the girl hesitated.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ishido Futaba nodded and agreed to the deal proposed by Aishiro Karen.

"The sun is about to set, why don't you two sisters come to my house first?"

……

Following Ishido Futaba's footsteps, Aishiro Karen and Kagura Hikaru walked into a small room.

The whole house is located on the edge of Shanghe Village - the three villages built along the Yelan River are called Shanghe Village, Zhonghe Village and Xiahe Village according to their locations - covering an area of ​​only dozens of square meters. The only light source in the room is the wobbly orange chandelier on the ceiling. The chandelier flickers like a candle in the cold wind, which will go out in the next moment.

He is indeed a poor child.

Aicheng Hualian felt pity in his heart.

"Two sisters, I'll go to the kitchen to get something for you to eat. After all, it's dinner time."

"Thanks a lot."

Ishido Futaba's petite figure disappeared behind the simple door, and Kagura Hikaru's consciousness communication sounded the next moment.

Prepare for battle

"what?"

boom!

The next moment, the kitchen door exploded into pieces, and a cherry-haired girl rushed out with a heavy machine gun that was almost half her size, pointing the black muzzle at the two of them.

Bullets roared out.

Chapter 107 Meeting an “Acquaintance”

To be honest, when the cherry-haired girl walked out of the kitchen with a heavy machine gun in her hand and pointed the black muzzle at herself, Aicheng Hualian felt a little surprised.

She thought the other party would bring out a pot of porridge or a few slices of bread to entertain them, but she didn't expect that what they took out was a weapon of war.

This heavy machine gun seems out of place in this simple house.

"hateful."

Seeing the situation change, Aicheng Hualian stretched out her hands, trying to use her spiritual power, but she felt a sense of emptiness within her body. She searched her body with her consciousness, but could not find even a single spiritual power.

"It's bad. The spiritual energy has been transmitted to the surface of the evil god's body."

She had forgotten that she had now covered the evil god's body with all her spiritual energy to help him suppress the fluctuations of evil energy in his body. This also resulted in her being stretched to the limit and having almost no spiritual energy left in her body.

Is it really necessary to rely on my own strong physical fitness to withstand the bullets? Although I have strong regenerative abilities, it would definitely be uncomfortable to use my flesh and blood to withstand the bullets spewed from the muzzle.

"Bah."

A black figure stood in front of her. Kagura stretched out her hand forward, slightly spread out her five fingers, as if she was about to release an unknown method.

[Hey, Hikaru! Don't expose your fel energy! It'll be very troublesome!]

【I know. 】

To Aijo Karen's surprise, what emerged from Kagura Hikaru's palm was not pitch-black evil energy, but clusters of lustrous light blue halos. The blue halos merged into one, like ocean waves on a clear sky, rushing towards Ishido Futaba.

Psychic power!?

Aicheng Hualian exclaimed in his heart.

What emerged from the evil god's hands was completely pure spiritual energy, without a trace of impurities, just like the spiritual energy possessed by the gifted official investigators, without any abnormality being detected.

【This is…】

"During these five years in your body, I haven't been idle. During the time we interacted with your psychic energy, I already understood its properties. It wasn't difficult for me to forge a similar energy from my own fel energy."

Is this a fake? It's clearly so real it's indistinguishable from the real thing!

The psychic energy released by the evil god was extremely fast, like a piece of light passing through the air, and in an instant it covered the body of the cherry-haired girl. At this moment, Ishido Futaba only felt that her body was bound by an icy force. This force invaded her skin and joints, as if she was stuffed into a thousand-meter-high iceberg, unable to move.

“Clang…”

Her hands, numb from the cold, could not support the weight of the gun. Ishido Futaba's face turned gloomy. She had never expected that the strange man in front of her would be so troublesome.

Do you want to use psychic power?

Just as her purple eyes were shining, a voice that seemed somewhat familiar to Aicheng Hualian came from a small room next to her.

"Futaba~ What's that loud noise? Don't you know I'm sleeping?"

"Wait, Xiangzi, don't come out yet!" The short girl hurriedly shouted to the side, but it was too late.

A young girl walked out of the small room. She was wearing loose and simple pajamas, and her long dark blue hair was scattered to her waist in a somewhat messy manner. Her originally cute face was now covered with dust, and her arms were wrapped in bandages. At first glance, she looked like a wounded soldier who had just come off the battlefield.

Before the girl could say anything, Kagura moved his fingers slightly, and another icy blue light enveloped the girl, freezing her into a virtual ice sculpture, with only her two eyeballs able to move.

"what?"

Aicheng Hualian looked at the girl and a puzzled voice escaped from the corner of his mouth.

Wasn't this newly appeared girl the same Investigator Hua Liu? She claimed to be the 13th generation descendant of the Hua Liu family, and that she had left the family to find qualified forest rangers and was searching for suitable talent outside of the family.

The other party had previously wanted to recruit her and let Aicheng Hualian become the Hualiu family's forest ranger to cultivate the forest located in the subspace for the Hualiu family. However, because he was dissatisfied with Aicheng Hualian's way of dealing with evil spirits, the two parted ways.

I didn't expect to see each other here again.

However, seemingly due to the new mask and costume, Hanayu Kaori didn't recognize Aijo Karen. Like Ishido Futaba, she was frozen in a pool of azure psychic energy, as if frozen in time.

【Do you know her? 】

Feeling the emotional fluctuations in her heart, Kagura Hikaru used consciousness communication to ask her.

[It’s not that we know each other, at best we just know each other exists.]

After briefly describing what happened between the two, Kagura Hikaru looked at the frozen Hanayu Kaori with a hint of disdain.

Wanting to recruit his breeder, the future breeding mother, as his own? Was he being too contemptuous?

"That's not right, Xiaoguang. Weren't you always in my body? You should know all these things."

[At that time, I was transitioning into a hunting state and had no ability to detect what was happening in the outside world.]

[Okay...ah! They seem to be about to collapse, so let's let them go first.]

Aicheng Hualian looked at the two girls in front of him whose faces had turned blue from the cold, and hurriedly reminded the evil god to show mercy.

Although what Kagura Hikaru is using now is just fake psychic energy, this psychic energy comes from the hands of the evil god after all. Even if it is a fake product, its power is not something the two people in front of him can withstand.

Moreover, Kagura Hikaru didn't seem to want to let the two girls go so easily.

[She wants to harm you. Although she is only at the D-rank level, she is still a threat.]

"Oh... there might be some misunderstanding here, right? Anyway, with you here, they can't hurt me."

[Also, that Hua Liu Xiangzi is in such a state of disarray, seemingly hiding here. Perhaps they know something about this place, right? Don't cut off this great clue yourself.]

Hearing this, Kagura Hikaru's icy expression softened slightly. She slowly lowered her hand and dissipated the icy spiritual energy.

The two girls fell to the ground like ice sculptures, making a bang, which made Aicheng Hualian close her eyes involuntarily.

A few minutes later, Hanayu Kaori, who was the first to come to her senses, looked at Kagura Hikaru with fear in her eyes.

"Ahem! Who are you... I'm freezing! Futaba! Are you okay?"

As she spoke, Hanayu Kaori looked to her side, only to find that a black-blue shell had formed on Ishidome Futaba's body, wrapping around her like stone.

It's bad... Hanayu Kaori's face suddenly changed, she felt like crying but couldn't. She turned to look at Aijo Karen and Kagura Hikaru in front of her, their faces already filled with despair.

Was he really going to die today at the hands of assassins sent by the enemy? His family was facing internal and external troubles, and if he died here...

"Ah, Inspector Hanayagi, long time no see."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. Hua Liu Xiangzi was stunned at first, searching her mind for the source of the voice.
