I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

Mysterious? Mystery is good. It would be best if it were so mysterious that even the killers couldn't see through it. It would be best if it were so mysterious that even the lunatics who walked on the edge of a knife wouldn't dare to take action.

"Since they want to get rid of this evil spirit, they must go to the Black Water Swamp. Let's go there too."

……

In the eyes of ordinary people, Shadow Assassin is just a junk advertising online game that can be seen everywhere on the Internet. The interface is exaggerated and it smells like a money-making scam. Only those wealthy bosses will play it for the sake of nostalgia.

But in the circle of people with special needs, behind the Shadow Assassin online game is an international killer organization, and those who work in it only recognize money, not people.

Killer organization, a term that seems to have only appeared in the era before the invention of cameras and seems to have been eliminated by history.

But in this world threatened by the Warp, from the assassins thousands of years ago to the killer organizations today, these desperadoes walking in the shadows have grown stronger while the regulatory forces of the outside world are busy dealing with the invasion of the Warp.

"Have you found the target's whereabouts?"

At this moment, on a small hill upstream of the Yelan River, four people dressed in camouflage uniforms sat upright on a protruding rock, holding binoculars and looking into the distance, looking towards the direction of Donghua City.

"As for Hua Liu Xiangzi, we only know that she left Donghua City, but we don't know where she went. We have puppets deployed at the major road checkpoints around Donghua City. If she had left this area, she should have been discovered long ago."

"You mean, the target is still near Donghua City?"

"Although there is a possibility of escaping from here by taking the small path, it is very small. Yunrao, how about you try your spiritual skills?"

One of them called the person next to him by his code name, Yunrao.

In Shadow Assassin, everyone addresses each other by codenames, often representing their strengths. The woman named Yunrao looked up at the sky. In the dusk, a crimson glow swirled slightly, becoming her eyes.

After several glances, she locked onto a wave of spiritual energy and pointed her finger at the black water depression downstream of the Yelan River.

"The target should be right there."

"Blackwater Pond? That D-rank evil gathering place? Are you sure? I heard that if you drink the water there, you'll never be able to leave the Yelan River again. Would Hua Liu Xiangzi run into a place like that?"

"Believe it or not," Yun Rao rolled his eyes at the person beside him, then stood up first, straddled his motorcycle, and headed toward the lower reaches of the Yelan River. The remaining three shrugged helplessly, got on their own motorcycles, and followed Yun Rao's back.

……

"Xiao Guang, do you feel cold?"

After shaking off Ishido Futaba and Hanagi Kaori, Aishiro Karen and Kagura Hikaru still maintained a slow and relaxed pace.

They did not rush to the black water depression, but observed the surrounding scenery as they walked.

But as he walked, Aicheng Hualian felt as if he was covered with a layer of cold air, and he was getting colder and colder.

This coldness seemed to be still spreading and invading her body.

She had thought she was the only one experiencing this abnormality, but when she looked around, she noticed that everyone around her was shivering. They pulled their clothes tighter around them and looked toward the sunset with puzzled eyes, seemingly confused as to why it was so cold even before night.

"There's something strange about the weather... A-choo! Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

"Stinky treasure, quickly ask your mom to take back all the clothes drying on the balcony. It looks like it's going to rain."

Words like these echoed all around, making Aicheng Hualian certain that she was not the only one feeling this abnormally low temperature.

She took a few steps towards Kagura Hikaru, and when she was two meters away from the evil god, she felt the temperature drop sharply, almost to freezing point.

【Xiao Guang, what's going on? 】

She switched to communicating through her consciousness.

[Nothing, just because I'm hungry, my body is consuming all the energy around it.]

Devouring energy...

"In other words, all the heat around here was consumed by Xiaoguang?"

Chapter 111: One person takes responsibility for his actions

Aicheng Hualian looked at the white frost around him. It was the product of the condensation of moisture in the air due to the low temperature. They lost their heat and could not float freely in the air, so they had to fall helplessly to the ground.

With Kagura Hikari as the center, a hundreds-meter-long winter painting covered this street that originally belonged to autumn.

Because they were invisible, others could not detect their presence and could only stare blankly at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Snowing?"

The children on the roadside cried out in surprise and stretched out their hands to hold the snowflakes falling from the sky. Their little hands were red from the cold, and the perception of their hands seemed to be taken away by an inexplicable existence and no longer belonged to them.

"Everyone, let's go home quickly! The weather is so weird! It might be those evil spirits causing trouble again!" someone shouted loudly.

Many people retreated to their houses, but the walls made of reinforced concrete seemed to be made of paper at this moment, and were completely unable to block the invasion of low temperatures.

The cold white color invaded thousands of households through the cracks in the doors, making the orange-red fireplace lose its color and the steaming thick soup freeze into gel.

This is not a good way to go, people will freeze to death.

Aicheng Hualian said in his heart.

She glanced at Shenle Guang. The black-haired girl's expression was calm, as if she had no idea how serious the impact she was causing was.

Yes, the other party is an evil god. Destroying life is like eating and drinking water, and he can destroy an entire country without even blinking an eye.

She wanted to stop the situation from spreading, but found that her spiritual energy was exhausted - her spiritual energy had already covered the body of the evil god, and she was desperately resisting the erosion of the evil energy.

This is my body's reaction to hunger, I can't control it.

Sensing Aijo Karen's gaze, the evil god responded. Around them, the orange sunset seemed frozen, wiping out all its warmth.

"Hmm..." After pondering for a few seconds, Aicheng Hualian made up his mind, "Then this is the only way."

She walked to Kagura Hikaru, stretched out her left hand, and gently held the evil god's right hand.

A chilling pain penetrated her fingers and palms, pulling her nerves upward until it rushed into her mind.

The black uniform, merely used to conceal her identity, couldn't protect her from the freezing temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius. The skin on her left hand instantly turned pale, gradually fading into the color of the evil god, like a limb that had been dead for days.

Cold...heart-breakingly cold.

It was not the physical coldness caused by the low temperature, but a kind of coldness that felt like one's own life was constantly slipping away, as if even the soul was about to be frozen.

Aicheng Hualian's life was flowing from his body into the evil god's body along the hands of the two people holding each other.

Her approach was simple. Since her spiritual energy was no longer enough to suppress the evil god's hunger, she would use her own warmth.

At the very least, you should bear the consequences of not satisfying the evil spirit alone and not affect others.

As she moved, the evil god's body shifted the object of energy consumption to her.

She alone satisfied the evil god's appetite.

As a psychic who feeds on the will to survive, Aicheng Hualian's body is warm enough. The temperature around her slowly rises, and the cold winter landscape is melted by the girl's body temperature.

The temperature difference made the surrounding villagers exclaim in surprise.

She got what she wanted, but Kagura Hikaru beside her frowned.

The evil god could feel that the breeder's body was trembling slightly - although the other party was trying hard to hide this weakness, the trembling could not be suppressed and spread to Aicheng Hualian's whole body.

【Let go...you will die like this.】

"Don't worry, I know better than Xiaoguang how durable my life is."

Aicheng Hualian did not lie. She had signed a contract with the evil god and had walked on the edge of life and death more than once. She had come into close contact with "death", something that ordinary people avoid as much as possible, several times. She even knew what it felt like before death, and based on this, she drew a life warning line for herself.

In other words, before she felt the premonition of death, she had the confidence to pat her chest and declare, "I am still far away from death."

This seemed to contradict her burning will to survive, but in reality, not fearing death didn't mean not wanting to live. In fact, in many past crises, Aicheng Hualian relied on her fearlessness to survive in nearly hopeless situations.

"That's perfect. I also wanted to see how terrifying the evil god's hunger is. Now it seems that it's just that. I haven't been frozen into an ice sculpture yet, right?"

Although the area below her elbows had turned deathly gray, she still had the mind to joke, and the smile on her face was so warm that it didn't seem like someone whose life was being taken away.

【Then speed up】

Kagura Hikaru flew upwards, leaving the ground with Aijo Karen.

A few minutes later, they stopped in the air 500 meters above the ground, with clouds above them and mountains below them. In the layer of green and white, a valley with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters was located in front of them.

Looking down, you can see the dirty black water of the Yelan River, which turns a few bends and flows into the valley.

From high to low, the vegetation in the valley changes from emerald green to gray-black, and the gradient color difference points to the pool of black sewage in the center, which is the core of the evil gathering place.

"That's the Black Water Marsh. It really lives up to its name."

Since there is no extra spiritual energy in his body, Aicheng Hualian cannot send the spiritual energy into his eyes, and therefore cannot see through the true appearance of the evil gathering place.

But in Kagura Hikaru's vision, above the valley, there was clearly a black hemispherical area.

The hemispherical area was pitch black, like a ghost cave. From time to time, one could see evil and resentful spirits with hideous faces floating in it, fighting each other.

That kind of demonic energy fluctuation would kill everyone, not to mention ordinary people, even an E-rank psychic who accidentally entered would end up with no trace left.

Within a 3,000-meter radius centered on the Blackwater Hollow, there were no signs of human activity. After the Evil Response Department designated the Blackwater Hollow as a restricted area, the people there wisely stayed away from the valley.

"crunch..."

As if they had discovered the presence of Aicheng Hualian, several evil spirits floating in the air rushed towards the direction where the two were standing with bared fangs and claws.

Because the gap between their status and that of the evil god is too great, they are not even qualified to discover the existence of the evil god.

"Xiao Guang? Why did you stop suddenly? Is there something in front?"

Hua Lian, unable to see the evil spirit, looked forward in a daze.

"nothing."

Kagura Hikaru spoke in a calm tone. She gently waved her left hand in the air, and three balls of black light flashed. Those evil spirits said goodbye to their lives forever, and not even a hair was left.

"Let's go in. It's a good opportunity for me to have a meal first."

Chapter 112: The Guardian's Obstruction

After loosening their hands, Aicheng Hualian's pale left arm regained its color.

The surrounding temperature dropped again, and heat continued to flow into the evil god's body. The cold white frost filled the air, forming a cloud of mist surrounding the two of them.

But now, they are surrounded by an uninhabited gray wilderness, so there is no need to worry about the low temperature affecting other people.

A trace of spiritual energy gradually emerged from her body. Aicheng Hualian sent this trace of spiritual energy into her eyes and looked towards the valley in front of her. The true appearance of the evil gathering place appeared in front of her.

Different from what the evil god saw, what Aicheng Hualian saw was a group of manic wills.

Those wills were bright red as blood, and each one emitted a faint halo, illuminating the upper part of the valley with a bright red glow.

That is the will to survive flickering, and every will to survive represents an evil spirit.

Thousands of evil spirits were engaged in a fierce battle within an area of ​​just a few thousand square meters. For their own lives, each evil spirit fiercely attacked their fellows, eager to tear their bodies to shreds.

There were gusts of cold wind and heavy howling sounds. Before she even stepped into the gathering place of evil spirits, Aicheng Hualian felt a nauseous feeling in her heart. It was her body's instinct telling her to leave here, otherwise she would meet with an accident.

"Let's go, Xiaoguang. These guys in front of us should be able to temporarily relieve your hunger."

Ignoring the ghost den in front of them, Aicheng Hualian walked in front, the man and the god walking towards the black water pond.

……

Just near the Black Water Swamp, on a watchtower built by villagers, a beautiful woman was holding a telescope in her hand, observing the situation around the Black Water Swamp.

The woman's name is Yi Qing, an E-level psychic. She was originally a specialist sent by the Evil Response Department to be stationed in Xiahe Village. However, after the Black Water Wetland was designated as a restricted area, the Evil Response Department abandoned this place, leaving only Yi Qing and two other dispatched specialists to guard here.

Driven by a sense of responsibility, the three expatriate commissioners called on the villagers to build a watchtower and take turns on duty every day to observe the situation around the black water depression.

If she discovered any evil spirits emerging from the depression, she would broadcast a warning to the three surrounding villages and towns, asking the villagers to take shelter. At the same time, she also kept an eye on the situation around the depression to prevent anyone who got lost from entering the forbidden area.

Today happened to be Yi Qing's turn to be on duty. She thought this day would be ordinary as usual, but at dusk, she saw two figures walking towards the black water pool.

"Am I seeing things right? Who are those two people in black robes?"

After carefully searching his mind for faces he had seen before, Yi Qing was certain that the two people walking towards the black water depression were from other places.

Without hesitation, she jumped off the watchtower, got on her motorcycle, and sped towards the two men in black.

We must stop those two unlucky guys from entering the Black Water Swamp!

The cry in her heart urged her to step on the accelerator of the motorcycle to the bottom.

During the years she had been stationed here, she had seen more than once that some people who did not believe in superstition walked into the black water swamp and disappeared from the world.

She had also seen someone display his psychic powers of peak E-rank with immense confidence, calling himself a so-called private investigator, saying he was going to the Blackwater Swamp to look for his client's lost items, but in the end, only a few more corpses appeared in the swamp.

"You guys, stop it now!"

The motorcycle roared to a stop in front of the man in black. Yi Qing turned over and got off, panting a little.
