Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well curse the culprit in front of me who caused my death. I can't beat you, but at least I can't lose in words.

But if at this time, you rescue the enemy without any effort, then things will be different.

At this time, they will realize that life and death are really just a matter of your thoughts.

The experience of being rescued from the brink of death can ignite a person's desire to survive. Only by experiencing death can one truly appreciate the preciousness of life.

"Actually... I'm sorry. I'm just an assistant. You two can just call me Dark Crow."

This is the case with the man named Dark Crow.

With hope of living, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to seek death.

Aicheng Hualian smiled and said, "I know. Judging from your strength, you don't look like a leader. There's no need to blame yourself. Just tell me everything you know, no matter how much you know, and I will let you go."

The corner of his mouth twitched as the man cautiously glanced around. After confirming that there were no other assassins, he slowly said, "Actually, I'm a civilian killer, the kind who gets paid to do anything. This time, I targeted you two adults at the behest of the Black Tide Gang's leader."

"The Black Tide Gang?"

"Yes, the Black Tide Gang is a gang in Luoxi City."

"You two adults may not know that due to historical reasons, the people who call the shots in Luoxi City are large private enterprises, not the government."

"But how good can the security be in a place where private enterprises are in charge? There are many gangs in Luoxi City, and the Black Tide Gang is one of them." Dark Crow spoke quickly, spewing out everything he knew. "The leader of the Black Tide Gang is called Black Tide Ryuya. He paid me to kill the two adults."

"I just didn't expect that guy to cast a spell on my brain when we met! He forced me to fight a life-or-death battle with the two adults. If the mission fails, I will surely die."

At this point, Dark Crow's expression and tone became obviously angry. He sternly accused the Black Tide Gang leader of how vicious the curse he had placed on him was, and he wanted to curse the Black Tide Gang leader's entire family tree.

I don't know if it's because he's angry about being cursed, or because he wants to create an impression in front of Aishiro Karen and the others that "I'm not in the same group as that guy, I was forced to do it", so he shows such hatred towards Kuroshio Ryuya.

"Is there anything else?" Aijo Karen asked with a gentle smile, but Kagura Hikaru beside her was staring at Dark Crow coldly, like an executioner about to carry out an execution.

"Have!"

Dark Crow yelled, fearing he would be beaten to death again. "I also saw some strange things in the Dark Tide Gang!"

"For example, their subordinates are very strange! You saw them, those weird guys with fish scales!"

"I don't know why they became like that, but it must have something to do with the things in the sea."

"Something from the sea?"

"Yes... yes!" Dark Crow said, his voice trembling. "There's something in the sea, right near the beach in Luoxi City! I've seen it. The reason those fish have been rushing onto the beach to die recently is because of that thing in the sea! Ah! Sorry, I have a headache..."

It's more than just pain!

A strange, green blood began to flow from under Murkrow's ears and eyes.

The blood gave off a distinct fishy smell, which was disgusting. When it fell to the ground, the accumulated rainwater on the ground was unable to dilute the green blood. Instead, it seemed to be assimilated and gradually turned dark green.

"Ahhh!!"

"What's going on? I clearly cleared away those curses." Aicheng Hualian was puzzled. She walked forward and wanted to infuse psychic energy into Dark Crow's body, but was stopped by Kagura Hikaru.

"He saw something he shouldn't have seen, and he wanted to say it, so his soul was attacked."

"It's not a curse, nor is it any kind of damage, so Karen's psychic power is useless."

There are some things in this world that will be persecuted just by mentioning their names, and Dark Crow has obviously violated this taboo.

"so what should I do now?"

Kagura glanced at Karen, the breeder looked a little flustered and a little annoyed.

I had clearly told the Raven Assassin "You can't die even if you want to" with such a great look before, but now I have encountered such an unexpected situation. Isn't this a slap in Hua Lian's face?

Hitting Hua Lian's face, isn't that just hitting her in the face?

Don't allow this to happen.

Kagura narrowed her eyes slightly, "Whatever caused this guy to become like this, it's insignificant."

She simply raised her foot, and then gently dropped it to the ground as if she was afraid of crushing the delicate earth.

hum~

The moment the soles of the feet touched the ground, a buzzing sound suddenly arose, like the sound of a huge bell, shaking the raindrops in the sky so that they could not stop. All the sounds of wind and rain stopped at this moment, and the sound waves split the road.

The black light pattern spread out, and in comparison, the green blood was like a child's toy, shattered at the slightest touch.

boom!

Dark Crow's head tilted back, as if it was hit hard by an invisible hammer, and a large amount of blood spurted out of its nostrils and mouth, but the blood was no longer green, but the normal dark red.

Inside his body, a green arc was struck by the black light pattern, and faint, dense wails came from the arc. It was struggling and roaring.

Then it was ruthlessly crushed by the black light pattern.

"Cough cough!" The unlucky Dark Crow had just had his body repaired by Aishiro Karen, but was now seriously injured by Kagura Hikaru's kick, and kept coughing up blood.

The same scene was played out again, and Aicheng Hualian repaired Dark Crow's body again.

Only this time…

"Something from the sea? I…I can't remember."

When Kagura Hikaru erased the things in his soul, the related memories were also erased.

Excessive force.

"..."

Rarely, a trace of guilt arose in the evil god's heart. She looked at her breeder, thinking that she would be blamed by the other party.

But unexpectedly, Aicheng Hualian's eyes flashed with a light that was almost admiring, "Xiao Guang is so amazing! He can even eliminate that kind of thing!"

"Nothing." She turned her head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

If she can't even get rid of that thing, there's no point in her being the evil god.

Did her breeder underestimate her? She'll need to show more of her abilities in the future.

"My Lords, that..."

Dark Crow looked at the two girls in front of him anxiously. He had said everything he could and should say. As for whether he could leave here alive, it would all depend on the opinions of the two monsters... no, the two adults.

"We've already finished talking, so why are you still standing here? Let's go quickly, or we'll get killed by the Black Tide Gang." Aicheng Hualian waved her hand and continued walking towards the designated destination.

Did I really survive?

It was not until Aijo Karen and Kagura Hikari disappeared in front of him that Dark Crow was convinced that he had been given a chance to start over.

He laughed a few times and ran into the rain, which kindly concealed his traces.

"What a bullshit hired assassin! I'm never going to do this again!"

Chapter 159 Drainage Channel

Just as Karen Aishiro and Hikaru Kagura continued to head towards the drainage station in Luoxi City, the chain reaction caused by the failed assassination attempt began to spread gradually, even affecting Shikata City hundreds of kilometers away.

"Assassination? Luoxi City is so chaotic? Isn't there a branch of the Hualiu family in charge? It's really strange."

Looking at the report sent by Donglan on the desk, Shijo Kuro frowned.

Although cities dominated by private enterprises often have chaotic social environments, with rampant gangs and a rich network of shady businesses, the Hualiu family, as one of the top families in the Xinhui Federation, should not govern a city like this, even if it is a branch.

It’s true that one generation is inferior to another.

"However, Aicheng Hualian has a D-rank companion beside him, so his life will not be in any danger for the time being."

The other person seemed to be called Kagura Hikaru, a D-rank junior psychic who suddenly appeared. She only learned about the existence of such a person through Captain Donglan's report.

As the supreme leader of the entire Nanlingzhou evil spirit response department, Xijo Kuluo has seen more and sees further.

Compared to what Donglan said in the letter, "Kagura Hikari is very likely a psychic with extraordinary talent, which is why she was able to grow to the level of a D-rank psychic without receiving any systematic training." Shijo Kuro would rather believe that Kagura Hikari is an elite cultivated by a certain organization.

The organization discovered the ability of Aijo Karen and sent Kagura Hikaru to protect Karen.

As for what Karen said, "She and Kagura Hikaru have been good sisters for a long time," it is probably because she wants the department to let down their guard and avoid conflict between the two forces.

He is a good kid who puts the overall situation first.

As for which organization it was, and whether it would compete with the Intelligence Department for talent, these questions still needed further investigation. However, Aicheng Hualian was currently a member of the Evil Response Department, and no one could take her away from him.

Ding bell~

The phone on the table rang. Cloe looked at the caller and saw that it was a familiar number. Well, it was Tsuzaki Mahiru.

It was obvious that he came to hold Aicheng Hualian accountable for the assassination attack.

Feeling a little guilty for some reason, Shijo Kuro picked up the phone, mentally prepared to be scolded.

"Minister Kro, I would like to apply to go to Luoxi City as a special envoy."

But I didn't expect that the other party's first sentence would be like this.

"Eh? Minister Mahiru, what do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, Xijo Kuro. Do you want me to repeat what happened in Luoxi City?"

"Ha, then respected Donghua City Operations Director Tsuzaki Mahiru, do you need me to repeat your position? Oh, I have already repeated it." Her tone was serious, even angry.

If the other party just called to scold her, it would be fine, but wanting to be transferred from her position? She would never allow it.

"If I can't even protect my own friends, what's the point of being a department head?" The voice on the other end of the phone sank, like a frost-bitten eggplant. "It's fine you've transferred Hua Lian to the Third Special Operations Team, but are you also going to deprive me of my right to protect her?"

"Don't use that kind of rhetoric on me, Tsuzaki Mahiru. Team member Aijou is protected by a D-rank Psychic. To be frank, she doesn't need you right now."

“…” There was silence on the other end of the phone. Rather than agreement, it seemed more like accumulating anger.

"Think about the high hopes the department has placed on you. Protecting your own little piece of land well is our greatest contribution."

"Don't forget your responsibilities for your own selfish desires."

“Drip…drip.”

The call was hung up.

……

"This is the drainage station. It really doesn't look very conspicuous from the outside."

In front of Aicheng Hualian was a small drainage station no more than three meters high. The overall structure was like a bungalow, and the door was made of black alloy. Above the door were the words "Luoxi City's Seventeenth Drainage Station". Apart from that, there were only gray walls, which looked simple.

If it weren't for the detailed map of Luoxi City's underground drainage system, Aicheng Hualian would have thought that the house in front of him might just be a secluded place for someone's family.

"Wait a minute, let me go first."

The hand that was about to push open the door was stopped by Kagura Hikaru, and the wrist that was held was cold.

Guang pushed open the door and walked in first.

She was worried that there would be an assassin attack here.

With her strength, there is naturally no need to worry, but Hua Lian is still a human being after all, so all risk factors must be isolated.

Hua Lian will help her reproduce her bloodline in the future, so nothing can happen. They were attacked just after arriving in Luoxi City. Who knows what they will encounter next?

Walking into the room, the furnishings inside were very simple.

There was a rusty control panel, a suspended steel staircase leading to the underground, and an incandescent lamp flickering on the ceiling, apparently with a poor power supply.

The whole room was grayish white and lacked vitality.

Even though a full 7 percent of the city's water drained into the sea through pipes beneath the room, the room felt incredibly dry, as if something had robbed the air of all its moisture.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Aicheng Hualian shouted into the open space, but as she expected, no one responded.

However, a notebook on the console caught her attention.

She opened the notebook, and found that it was not a diary, but a console user manual. The last signature was "Feng Lizi", and it was of no other value.

"Let's go, Xiaoguang, let's go take a look down there."

The two of them reached the staircase. The iron staircase led into a man-made passage, gradually burying it in darkness. Apparently due to a power outage, there was no light in the passage.

"How could such an important place as the drainage station lose power?"

Commenting somewhat speechlessly, Aijo Karen activated his psychic vision.

C-level spiritual energy surged in his eyes, breaking through the curtain of darkness.

“Thump…thump”
