I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

At night, a few dark clouds covered the moon and heavy rain fell, making the autumn weather even more gloomy and cold.

Donghua City was sleeping in the rain, but Zhonghe Village beside the Yelan River was not at peace.

"boom!"

A muffled thunder-like roar came from an alley, tearing the silence of the rainy night.

"Xiangzi, why are you back?"

The girl running in front shouted at the girl wearing a paper bag on her head. Behind them, four nightmarish black shadows attacked them from the roof.

"Where else can I go, idiot!"

Hanayu Kaori, who had originally abandoned Ishido Futaba and fled alone, thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she tore a paper bag from the roadside and put it on her head as a mask, thinking that this would conceal her identity, and returned to Nakagawa Village.

She saw at a glance that Ishido Futaba was arguing with the killer in order to protect the old man, but the argument soon stopped because the killer saw her.

A poor disguise couldn't fool an experienced killer.

The escape began again.

Aicheng Hualian stepped out of the subspace channel and reached out to wipe the rain marks on her mask. Her black waterproof raincoat made crackling sounds as it was hit by raindrops.

"It's late at night, why are there people fighting?"

Chapter 135 Assassination

Blind by snow, surrounded by clouds, entangled by water, and burned by fire.

The four codenamed killers are all elites from the Shadow Assassin organization, with hundreds of lives on their hands. Each of them is a D-level psychic powerhouse.

In the past, they always acted alone, relying on their superb assassination skills and measuring the lives of others with blood-stained money.

Only when faced with a difficult or lucrative commission would they unite and form a four-person team.

Every time we join forces, we never fail.

Whether it was a wealthy businessman guarded by numerous bodyguards or a high-ranking official, as long as the price was right, they would accept it.

Even when facing the future successor of a behemoth like the Hualiu family, they are not afraid, just like now.

"Clap clap clap..."

Four figures in black stealth suits ran on the black tiles, blending into the night. The sound of their footsteps was mixed with the sound of rain, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Just a few dozen meters in front of them, Hanagi Kaori and Ishido Futaba were using all their strength to escape forward, wishing they had two more pairs of legs.

Their psychic powers have already reached the D-level, so of course they have the ability to use their psychic powers to fly high into the sky, but that would be tantamount to making them sitting ducks for pursuers.

Use your legs to escape on the ground, and you can also use the surrounding buildings to hide.

"We've been chasing them for almost two hours, and they haven't made a move yet. What are they trying to do?"

Hua Liu Xiangzi's breathing became a little rapid. The four assassins had been hanging behind them from the beginning and didn't come forward to fight. Were they playing a cat-and-mouse game?

"They want to drive us out of this town and deal with us outside to prevent the fighting from spreading too far."

"Why? I don't believe those assassins will show mercy to these villagers." Hua Liu Xiangzi took the time to glance behind her and saw four death-chasers chasing them closely. "They even dared to take on the mission to assassinate me. I guess other people's lives are no more important than insects in their eyes."

"Eh... Is the education at the Hualiu family so poor these days? They don't even know you can't use too much psychic energy near a gathering place for evil spirits?" His tone was filled with helplessness. Ishido Futaba had no choice but to explain as he ran, "This place is less than five kilometers away from the black water depression. If we start a fight here, if it triggers excessive psychic fluctuations and attracts the attention of the evil spirits in the restricted area, the situation will be complicated. Even an assassin doesn't want to face a siege by hundreds of evil spirits."

Evil energy and psychic power have been incompatible since ancient times. Evil spirits and psychics are the extension of this contradiction. If evil spirits discover the existence of psychic energy fluctuations around them, they will either retreat in disgrace or attack and hurt others.

Now they are near the gathering place of evil spirits. If a fight breaks out, the evil spirits' reaction will most likely be the latter.

“There is such a thing.”

Unexpectedly, the existence of this restricted area has become a talisman for the two of them.

But as the distance from the black water depression grows, the amulet is about to fall off.

While running, Hua Liu Xiangzi suddenly found that the surrounding scene had changed.

Those raindrops that should have been transparent and clear gradually turned white at some point, as if they had turned into milk, and every drop turned white.

They fell from a height of thousands of meters, hit the roof, splashed a white cloud, flowed along the gaps between the tiles, and fell from the eaves, like a curtain made of white jade, covering everything on the ground with a white hue.

This color change was accompanied by a rapid drop in temperature, which directly fell below freezing point.

It’s not falling snow, but it’s better than falling snow.

The white rain curtain fell on Hua Liu Xiangzi, but it did not have the gentleness that rain should have. It was more like layer upon layer of snow wrapped around her body. The cold air penetrated her skin, as if it was going to freeze her to death here.

"They finally couldn't help themselves and started to take action!"

The spiritual power in Hua Liu Xiangzi's body was not to be outdone. The shadow of a cherry tree flashed behind her, and pink lines spread out from her eyebrows and soon covered her entire body, building a tough barrier on her body surface to isolate the obviously abnormal rain.

Ishido Futaba on the side also has her own methods. She uses [loyalty and piety] as her own psychic emotion and can control rocks.

She stretched out her hand toward the ground in front of her. With a crackling sound, the stone bricks on the ground were instantly lifted up by an invisible force. The heavy bricks danced in the air like butterflies, then clung to Ishido Futaba's body from bottom to top, forming a suit of stone armor that left no gaps and blocked out all the white raindrops.

"If that's all you have, I'd advise you to leave quickly, haha!"

Just when Hua Liu Xiangzi was feeling proud, the situation changed again.

"Han Yu, Bai Juan, Hui Wu, Yun Xiao. I wonder how far you can make it?"

The killer codenamed Yunrao chuckled secretly, and behind her, the assassin codenamed Shuichan jumped up and plunged into the white rain curtain.

Suddenly, all the rain in the sky seemed to be paused, staying in mid-air without moving.

Hua Liu Xiangzi looked at the three white raindrops that were only four centimeters away from her eyes, and then looked at the raindrops hanging in the air that spread to the end of her vision, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"Knock her down, Futaba!"

"I'm trying my best."

Ishido Futaba raised her hands, mobilized her spiritual energy, and the tiles on the eaves on both sides turned into sharp blades and rushed towards the assassin in the air.

But it was too late.

Surrounded by thousands of raindrops, the water spun in place, as if dancing a waltz.

With the graceful dancing posture, all the raindrops moved without wind and swirled rapidly in the air.

They connected the dots into lines, and the lines into surfaces. Rotating conical water curtains rose from the ground, drawing circles with the water as the center.

The tiles swung by Shidong Shuangye were knocked to the ground with a few bangs as soon as they touched the water curtain. The two could only watch the white waterspout grow bigger and bigger.

A waterspout several hundred meters high plunged into the sky, leaving only a single white dragon between heaven and earth. Wherever the wind and rain passed, everything was covered in cold ice and snow.

Hua Liu Xiangzi was terrified as she watched, "How can this be considered an assassination? They are planning to do this for the last time!"

……

"Xiao Guang, look over there."

About two kilometers away from the assassination scene, Aicheng Hualian clung to the wall and nimbly climbed onto the roof of an old house. He saw the white tornado that was raging in the village at a glance.

Not only that, with the white tornado as the center, the rain nearby turned a strange white color. From a distance, it looked like a pale and creepy rectangular hole suddenly appeared in the transparent and dark night.

"Such a strong psychic fluctuation! They are all D-rank powerhouses." The evil god breeder Aicheng Hualian sighed. "They are fighting in this village. Aren't they afraid of hurting the villagers who live here?"

"Oh, that's not right. This area is already the outskirts of Zhonghe Village. Most of the place is abandoned, and not many people live here."

The evil god flew to her side, stared at the white tornado for a few seconds, and then looked away in boredom.

She didn't want to pay any extra attention to things that had nothing to do with them.

But at this moment, the tornado was moving towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ok?"

Chapter 136 Combined Attack Skills

"Why is the tornado coming towards us?" Aicheng Hualian asked curiously.

Those fighting there couldn't possibly detect her presence. In order to suppress the evil energy fluctuations of the evil god, her spiritual energy had dropped to an all-time low, like a stream about to dry up, with only wisps of red mist flowing through her veins.

As for the evil god beside her, with her covering, no one else would notice him.

In other words, it was the people over there who took the initiative to run here, and they were just standing in the other party's path.

Aicheng Hualian looked back and saw that hundreds of meters behind him, on a cold rainy night, the black river meandered into the distance, like an ugly scar on the earth, emitting a foul odor.

"I see. Someone wants to use the Yelan River as cover to leave here, so they're running this way."

……

The D-level spiritual energy flowed into her hands. Hua Liu Xiangzi made a seal with her ten fingers, and branches grew out of her hands.

The branches are intertwined to form a tough umbrella handle that continues to extend upwards. After reaching the air, they stretch out to the surroundings, and the thirteen branches become the ribs of the umbrella.

The branches are covered with pink cherry blossoms, and the petals are stacked together to form an umbrella.

Hua Liu Xiangzi clenched her hands and held the cherry blossom umbrella. The one-meter-wide umbrella blocked the wind and rain.

"Crack!"

Driven by the wind, raindrops hit the umbrella like bullets, tearing several petals into pieces, but the newly exposed gaps were quickly filled by new petals.

"As long as we get near the Yelan River, we have hope of escape. The evil energy in the Yelan River water is enough to suppress the spiritual skills of these killers." Ishido Futaba, who was running in front of Hua Liu Xiangzi, shouted loudly. His voice struggled in the sound of the waterspout, and slid into Hua Liu Xiangzi's ears, carrying a chill like deep winter.

"Won't our spiritual skills be suppressed there?"

Hua Liu Xiangzi also shouted loudly, and the cherry blossom umbrella in her hand was crackling with raindrops. She looked like a blade of grass in a storm, and if she was not careful, she would be blown into the sky.

"That's better than being crushed one-sidedly!" Ishido Futaba replied unhappily.

Hua Liu Xiangzi looked back at the huge tornado behind her. The white pillar connected the sky and the earth, spinning wildly, as if even the space itself was shaken, making everything in front of her blurry.

"I feel like there's something wrong with them."

This doesn't seem like the power a D-level psychic can possess at all. Even the taciturn guards in the family would not have such power when they were at the D-level.

unless……

She looked up at the sky with difficulty and found something strange.

The thick dark clouds that had originally formed a whole were slowly rotating above the waterspout, spiraling down like a huge beast.

Looking behind him again, the killer named Yunrao had disappeared. He must have rushed into the clouds and cast a spell in the center of the vortex.

The surrounding clouds provide support for the waterspout's rotation, and the violent tornado becomes the center of the entire dark cloud. The two cooperate with each other and continue to grow stronger.

"Sure enough! This tornado is the result of the fusion of two spiritual skills. It's actually a combined attack skill?"

The term "combined attack skill" is what Hua Liu Xiangzi herself called it, and the correct name should be "fusion spiritual skill".

The moves formed by two or more psychics using extremely compatible spiritual skills are called fusion spiritual skills.

The fusion of spiritual skills can often produce the effect of one plus one being greater than two, and two plus two being greater than six, but the requirements are also very harsh. After all, in this world, there are very few spiritual skills that can be perfectly coordinated.

No wonder the power of this storm has reached the C-level. It turns out that it is the result of the joint efforts of the two assassins.

No, it should be three.

The raindrops that became abnormal from the very beginning were the work of the assassin Snowblind.

Cloud Wrap can control clouds, Water Wrap can drive raindrops, so Snow Blindness...

Hua Liu Xiangzi looked forward as she ran. The white rain fell on the ground and turned into snow.

Everything wet by the rain was covered with a blanket of snow. The white from the sky swallowed up the black on the ground and spread forward.

On this dark night, the snow, which can only reflect light, should not have any color.

But in front of Hua Liu Xiangzi, all the snow was shining, and all the raindrops painted the sky white.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Driven by the wind, the raindrops swallowed up the last of the strange colors with a crackling sound, so that only white was left in the world, which made Hua Liuxiangzi's eyes blurred and she felt as if she was going blind.

It turns out that this is what the code name Snow Blind means, taking away the enemy's vision with the only white color.

"The collaboration of these three assassins was enough to create this scene. Those guys who paid them really put in a lot of money."

The street where the two were running was covered with dead white, and the sky was occupied by flying white. Only the cherry blossom umbrella in Hanagi Kaori's hand and the stone armor on Ishido Futaba had other colors.

This street has become a hunting ground for assassins.

"Ah... Ever since I met you, Xiangzi, I have experienced more dangers in the past few days than in the six years I have lived here." Ishido Futaba, who was running in front, complained loudly. This childhood sweetheart whom she had not seen for many years gave her such a trick as soon as they met.

Hua Liu Xiangzi was immediately displeased, "What are you talking about! There are already countless people who can help the heir of the Hua Liu family..."

"Come on, Xiangzi, I know every word you're going to say next. It's been so many years, and your way of speaking hasn't changed at all."
