I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

Captain Donglan turned around and asked Hualian, which surprised Hualian a little.

"Captain, this matter should be decided by you."

"No, Aicheng team, from the moment we become the 3rd Special Operations Team, all of us will obey your orders."

"The decision-making power of the team is now in your hands."

Ok?

Looking at Captain Donglan's serious expression, Aicheng Hualian knew that Captain Donglan's words came from the heart without a trace of hypocrisy.

Donglan made this decision due to both Minister Clo's instructions and her own ideas.

After reporting the information that Aicheng Hualian could remove the curse to Minister Clo, the other party suggested in her reply that she give Aicheng Hualian some opportunities to demonstrate his leadership.

She immediately understood Minister Clo's intention.

This is to pave the way for Hualian's future.

Yes, he has such a wonderful quality of being able to see through and eliminate curses. If he can grow up, he will at least be the head of a provincial or municipal department in the future. It is urgent to cultivate leadership skills from now on.

Donglan was happy to do so.

She is not a person who is jealous of talented people. On the contrary, it would be great if Hua Lian could take over the burden on her shoulders.

The rest of the team knew about this as well, but they weren't as enthusiastic as Donglan.

Even Talina, who cares about her the most, has doubts about whether Aijo Karen, who has no psychic powers, can shoulder the responsibility of leading the team.

"In that case..." Aicheng Hualian didn't refuse anymore. She looked at Lin Zhengqi and said, "Can you tell us all the information you have?"

"Alas." Lin Zhengqi sighed helplessly, "Three days ago, I came here on Uncle Lei's behalf, and I have learned some of the situation."

"I collected a lot of fish samples in the submersible and discovered some patterns. Fish in the ocean rarely mutate. Instead, the closer you get to Luoxi City, the greater the degree of mutation."

"Oh?" Aicheng Hualian immediately realized, "So, the source of the fish mutation is near the beach in Luoxi City, or even within Luoxi City? This narrows the scope of the search a lot."

"I thought so too, but I was injured by that monster just as I found out the news. Luckily, Miss Aicheng helped me."

"It's a small matter." Aicheng Hualian glanced at his teammates, thinking about how to assign them suitable tasks.

Emily is a computer expert, but her psychic level is not high, only at the peak of F level, which makes her unsuitable for being on the front line.

"Since Captain Donglan trusts me, I will shamelessly assign tasks to everyone. If you have any opinions, please raise them here."

"Emily, Mr. Lei has arranged a special room for us. You can use your computer skills to coordinate and summarize the information we send you, just like a radar receiving station."

The short blonde girl nodded repeatedly. Hua Lian's arrangement was perfectly suitable for her and she had no objection.

Brother Huo An and Sister Talina are a couple. Both of them have excellent combat capabilities and are suitable to be front-line scouts. They also have a tacit understanding when working together.

"Then Uncle Huo An and Sister Talina, you should take a special submersible to explore the deep sea. If you encounter any strange fish, please find a way to evacuate immediately."

Captain Donglan was originally the strongest fighter in the team, and her ice-controlling skills were well-known in the evil-dealing department of Donghua City.

Unfortunately, her legs are not very useful now. Even with the help of an exoskeleton, she will not be able to compete with the enemy in terms of mobility.

Therefore, the captain's most suitable duty now is to stand guard and defend - to guard against possible attacks in a certain area to make up for the lack of mobility.

"Captain Donglan, please mediate with Emily. With you here, no one needs to worry about Emily's safety."

"As for me, I will explore Luoxi City with Sister Guang, and coordinate with you, Sister Talina. When the time comes, our two sides will proceed simultaneously, which will greatly improve our efficiency."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people who had just nodded in satisfaction immediately changed, revealing varying degrees of doubt.

This suspicion is not directed at Karen Aijo, but at Hikaru Kagura.

Hua Lian in Aicheng is a treasure now, and her safety needs to be put first. Can this black-haired girl who has never said a word from the beginning be responsible for protecting Hua Lian?

The three of them had this doubt in their minds. Although they didn't say it directly, the expressions on their faces could not be faked.

"As for Hua Lian, I think we can reconsider it. Your combat ability is a bit weak, and you need strong manpower protection." Talina frowned and tried to speak more tactfully.

Huo An was less polite. "Although you are very confident in your companions, I don't agree. Fighting is not a game. Your life is at stake for us... In short, I don't agree with this decision."

"I think this is a good idea," Captain Donglan said. "The Aicheng team and Miss Guang will stay with Emily and me for the time being. If Huo An and the others discover the curse, I can accompany the Aicheng team to you. It will be safer this way."

Listening to the advice of the team members, Hua Lian just shook his head.

Now that we have the decision-making power, we must make good use of it.

It would be great if they could create conditions where they could be alone with Kagura Hikari, so that they could use their many abilities without any restrictions.

"I'm confident in Sister Guang's abilities. She will definitely be able to protect me."

This statement has been verified over five years and is more credible than anything else.

"If everyone is still worried."

After exchanging thoughts with Kagura Hikaru, the black-haired girl raised her left hand and extended her index finger.

boom!

D-level primary psychic energy exploded in the conference room. A blue wind whistled in the air, knocking over empty office chairs, scattering documents piled on the table, and even causing cracks in the fish tank next to the wall.

With a few snaps, the wicks of the light bulbs on the ceiling were destroyed by the psychic fluctuations. The wavy psychic energy painted the entire conference room a deep blue, as if it had sunk into a bottomless abyss.

"D-rank Psychic!?"

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Kagura Hikaru with eyes filled with shock. The Lin siblings standing nearby almost popped their eyes out, and the rest of Team Three stood there in shock, as if struck by lightning.

They would never have imagined that this sculpture-like girl was actually at the same level as their minister.

Now, no one can question Aicheng Hualian's decision.

Chapter 1: Attacked in the Rain ()

"D-rank Psychic"

A surging spiritual tide rolled in the conference hall, casting a dark blue light on the surprised and delighted faces inside.

At the request of Aishiro Karen, Kagura Hikaru revealed a corner of her own aura and faked the psychic fluctuations of a D-rank investigator.

Now, all of Kagura Hikaru's previous strange behaviors have been given a very reasonable explanation.

Yes, they were all D-rank psychics, so what if they had a bit of a quirky temper? The anomalies she encountered on the road might not be as interesting to her as watching ants build a pile of sand.

It’s no wonder that Kagura Hikaru seems to be “completely unconcerned” about Aishiro Karen’s various actions. After all, they are all within her control.

Everyone present knew what a D-rank psychic meant. Even though Lei Shaowu was the chairman of the Lei Yu Security Company's Luoxi City branch, he had only recently reached the D-rank.

A psychic who naturally grows to the D-level without any teaching is more rare than those who have received special training, because this shows that the person has a terrifying psychic talent.

The truth was, of course, completely different from what they imagined. Kagura Hikaru wasn't a psychic. The psychic energy she released was based on Aijo Karen's psychic energy, transformed from her own unholy energy. It could be said to be a forged energy.

However, with her status as an evil god and her familiarity with the psychic power of Aicheng Hualian, this forged psychic power is so real that not only the people present here, but even other gods cannot tell the difference.

"That's settled then. Special Operations Team 3, let's get moving!"

While everyone was stunned, Aicheng Hualian promptly announced the start signal of the action.

Even as they left the meeting room in the elevator, everyone else remained somewhat dazed. Talina and the others even looked at Kagura Hikaru with a touch of awe.

That's how the psychic world works: if you're a high-level psychic, then whatever you say is right. Of course, this doesn't apply to people with traits like Hua Lian.

Emily and Captain Donglan went to the office on the 33rd floor of the Lei Yu Security Company's main building, while Huo An and Talina would go to the sea in a specially customized submersible.

Aicheng Karen and Kagura Hikaru will explore Luoxi City and use these magical eyes to dig out the anomalies in the city.

As for Kagura's information about being a "D-rank Psychic," everyone present would keep it in their hearts. The appearance of a D-rank Psychic was enough to shake an entire city.

perhaps?

As soon as Captain Donglan arrived at the office, he reported the news to Minister Clo. After hesitating for a while, he sent a message to his own minister, Inspector Cixin. After all, he was still the other's subordinate on the surface.

The moment the Lin brothers and sisters returned to their room, their thoughts were in a tangled mess like a tangled hemp rope.

Lin Zhengqi wrote and erased the pen on the paper, and for a moment he couldn't think of how to start the letter.

Nearly ten minutes later, he finally wrote down everything he had just witnessed. Aijo Karen's ability to see through and remove curses, and Kagura Hikaru, the mysterious, never-before-heard-of D-rank expert.

"Brother, where did that D-rank psychic come from? He couldn't have really grown up on his own talent, right?"

Lin Jiarong on the side asked like a little girl, no longer with the aggressive look he had before.

"Compared to her, the lady from Aicheng is more worthy of attention." Lin Zhengqi sighed slightly. He spread out his left hand, and there was a miniature magic circle in the palm of his hand.

Flames rose from the magic circle, igniting the written letter. Thousands of kilometers away, in the Lin family's mail room, a letter fell from the flames.

"It's truly remarkable to have such a prodigy in the Evil Response Department."

"Brother, are you worried about the impact the department will have on our family's business in the future?" Lin Jiarong pondered for a moment. "After all, our Lin family's main business is helping others exorcise evil spirits. Curses are a difficult subject, even for the elders of our family."

"I'm more worried about something else." Lin Zhengqi's thoughts drifted back to his master's final lesson a few years ago. "In this world, yin and yang are in balance, good and evil confront each other, and there has never been a completely one-sided situation. Now that humanity has produced such a prodigy, what about the Spirit Worship Cult, the evil spirits, and even the Warp? What kind of monsters have they produced?"

……

After leaving the building of Lei Yu Security Company and saying goodbye to Talina and Huo An who were carrying diving equipment, Aicheng Hualian and Kagura Guang walked side by side on the street.

The evil god and the container, the breeder and the fed, a man and a god who maintain each other's lives, walk in the shadows cast by the high-rise buildings in Luoxi City.

Unfortunately, it was raining. Luoxi City was close to the sea, so the city's drainage system should have been top-notch, but for some reason, the roads were full of water, and with the patter of raindrops, it quickly flooded up to my feet.

"Where should I start investigating?" Aicheng Hualian held an umbrella in one hand and took out the underground drainage system drawing of Luoxi City given by Lei Shaowu with the other hand and began to observe it carefully.

A hand took the umbrella for her, and black gelatin emerged from the palm of Kagura Hikaru's hand, climbing up along the umbrella handle and spreading to the umbrella cover. It quietly expanded the area of ​​the umbrella cover by one third, covering two people while still having some space left.

"Thank you."

Hua Lian said softly, her feet were not soaked by the rain. The spiritual energy spread out by Kagura pushed the rain two meters away. With them as the center, the area within a two-meter radius was dry.

The two of them were a little close to each other, and some physical contact was inevitable. Hua Lian's left hand always touched a piece of cold skin.

Hikaru's skin is so cold, Aijo Karen thought to herself. Even in human form, the evil god's essence still made Hikaru Kagura's body feel like a piece of jade in an ice cave, chilling it to the bone.

"Then let's start with the drainage base station. It happens to be raining today." Aicheng Hualian pointed on the map. It was a drainage station located on the edge of Luoxi City near the sea. It was mainly responsible for draining the water from the city's roads.

boom!

There was a loud thunderclap, and the lightning illuminated everything palely. As if responding to the thunder, a handful of rain fell down on the people below.

But it wasn't just the rain that was pouring down.

Amidst the misty raindrops, a rustling sound was stirring.

The place where the two passed was located in the gap between two old houses, a narrow path that could only accommodate one car.

In an instant, from eight directions, including the upper front, the right back, and the upper left, sharp sounds of breaking through the air exploded the rain curtain, and the shining weapons stabbed towards Aishiro Karen and Kagura Hikaru.

Not only that, the sewer cover on the street suddenly burst, and in the handful of rain that rushed into the sky, the black muzzle of a gun appeared and aimed at Aicheng Hualian's forehead.

Chapter 2: Attacked in the Rain ()

The attacks from all directions were filled with murderous intent. The black robes concealed the figures of the assassins. It was impossible to tell their gender or what weapons they were holding. All we knew was that they were familiar with the surrounding geographical environment.

They used the ridges on the walls of the houses as footholds and moved between the walls. Even the heavy rain became their best cover, like bats in the dark night baring their fangs at Aicheng Hualian and his companions.

At the same time, the assassins who came out of the manhole cover surrounded them from the front and back, blocking the entrance and exit of the path. It seemed that they wanted to kill them here.

The muzzle of the silenced gun fired bullets, aiming at Aicheng Hualian's eyebrows and back.

It was obvious that the assassin's main target was Aijo Karen.

No one knew where they got the news that Aicheng Hualian could see through the curse.

"This city doesn't seem to be very welcoming to us, Xiaoguang."

The sudden assassination did not make Aicheng Hualian show her fear. She took a step back and handed the enemy's life to her comrade in front of her.

There was no need to cover her vital parts. The bullet shot towards her and stopped in the air three meters away from her, and then was shattered by an unknown force.

There was no need to lower her head to avoid the attack from above. Kagura Hikaru simply turned the umbrella handle gently, and deep blue lines spread out from the umbrella surface. Visible shock waves surged upwards and collided with the assassin's flesh and blood body.

Kagura Hikaru's timing of launching the attack was perfect. The assassin was hanging in the air, with no leverage above or below him, and had no way to avoid it, so he was hit head-on by the shock wave.

A hemispherical gap was created in the rain curtain, and even dozens of cracks were blown into the walls of nearby buildings.

Click!

There was a crisp sound of broken bones. The assassins felt as if they were hit by a high-speed train. The ribs in their hands, legs and chest were directly shattered. Two bone fragments stuck out from their elbows, and the pain was so severe that they almost fainted.

"what!"

After a few screams, the assassins in black fell to the ground like rotten sandbags. The blood from their wounds merged with the rainwater on the ground and rushed into the sewer, just as easily as their lives.
