I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

The lamp on the bedside table was still on, and the pale yellow light spread across the girl's profile, turning into a layer of faint white glow, leaping from her eyebrows, across her nose, and then sliding down her lips and neck in a graceful arc.

If we ignore her nature as an evil god, Kagura Hikari is indeed beautiful. If she were a few years older, she would be described as breathtakingly beautiful.

"Xiao Guang, if you have something on your mind, just speak up."

After looking for a long time, Aicheng Hualian suddenly blurted out something.

As for the evil god who she lives with day and night, she knows too well what his every frown and expression means.

"There doesn't need to be any secrets between the two of us."

His lips moved, and Kagura Hikaru hesitated, a rare sight. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Kara, do you hate alien races? Those races other than humans?"

"Hate? Of course they're hateful if they're evil, but as for aliens, if they don't pose a threat to humans, then that's fine."

The so-called alien races mostly refer to those subspace creatures that also possess intelligence. If humans discover alien life in space in the future, the definition of alien races will have to be broadened.

"A threat to humans?" Kagura Hikaru pointed at herself, "I will be a threat to humans too, right?"

"Will Karen hate me too? After all, a being like me is called an evil god by many people."

Even Karen is no exception, she used to call him the evil god. Although the suffix of "god" fits Kagura Hikaru's identity, the word "evil" is not so beautiful.

"How could it be!? Of course Hikaru is different! Hikaru is the one who gave me a new life. If I hate him, that would be totally unreasonable."

Is that so?

Kagura Hikaru wasn't quite sure.

Now she is still in the hunting state, and Aicheng Hualian can still suppress herself.

But what about the future? What if she gained complete divine authority and became a true evil god?

His power will spread to every corner of the universe, his voice will reach the ears of those who are interested, the number of cultists who believe in him will increase, and the creatures that have been degraded into monsters by him will be lined up to the end of the galaxy.

When that time comes, when her every move is a threat to humans, how will Aicheng Hualian view her from the perspective of humans?

These doubts arose from the moment Aicheng Hualian killed the fish-skull monster with his fist.

That fish-skull monster is an alien species that poses a threat to humans.

But her future self is also a greater threat to humanity. Compared to her, the fish-headed demon is like dust to a star.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, Hikaru." Aijo Karen took Kagura Hikaru's hand. This time, she didn't want him to transfer evil energy to her, but just wanted to reassure Kagura Hikaru, "I know what you're thinking."

"You're afraid that your future self will stand against humanity and force me to choose between you and humanity. This worry is completely unnecessary."

"Why can't I have it all?"

"Want them all?"

"Yes, it's true that Xiaoguang is an evil god, but who can say that you will become a threat to humanity in the future?" Aicheng Hualian looked into those dark blue eyes. The dead silence in them made her feel inexplicably distressed. "Xiaoguang, just grow up peacefully. I'll take care of the rest."

"From the day we signed the contract, Hikaru's future will be my responsibility. If your power causes harm to humanity, all responsibility will be mine."

"By then, I will only hate myself for not teaching you well. I will take you with me to live in a deserted place, away from everything else."

Aicheng Hualian had already considered the Evil God's current concerns. Planning ahead is a good quality, especially for a breeder like her.

Wouldn't you rather hate yourself than hate her? Kagura Hikaru thought to herself.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a knot in her heart.

"It would be better if Hualian didn't blame herself for me hurting others."

But this is too greedy, things must be done step by step.

Chapter 168 The Role of the Trumpet

Many people have come to the villages near the Black Water Swamp recently.

They rode in various types of vehicles, carrying the dust of the north, and drove into three villages and towns along the Yelan River, stopping in an open space adjacent to Zhonghe Village.

The people who got out of the car were wearing neat work uniforms with a cherry tree logo on their chests. Box after box of things were unloaded from the car. Those were building materials for portable houses, assembled together by specialized engineers.

Soon, several simple houses rose from the ground. Flanked by guards, Hanagi Kaori and Ishido Futaba entered the residence built by the Hanagi family's guards. Outside, the guards were working furiously to build a wall to keep out any unauthorized personnel.

There are many devices in the room, some of which are used to filter river water, and others to eliminate curses, all of which are set up for Hanayu Kaori.

"Miss, your mother is very concerned about your safety and specially entrusted me to give this letter to you." Hua Liuqian, the captain of the guard team, handed the letter in her hand to Hua Liu Xiangzi. She was a tall woman with the same yellow amber eyes as Hua Liu Xiangzi, and was very beautiful.

"If she really cared about me, she should come to see me." He opened the letter and took a quick look. His mother's handwriting was still as elegant and beautiful as ever, and the content of the letter was as affectionate as ever, but it was not very nutritious.

Hua Liu Xiangzi walked to the chair and sat down, casually throwing the letter on the table. She pointed at the equipment piled over five meters high in front of her and asked, "Can these things remove the curse on me?"

She didn't want to be trapped by the Yelan River for the rest of her life.

"Miss, based on the severity of the curse on you, it will take at least half a year to remove it with these devices."

"Half a year!?" The voice rose eight degrees. Hua Liu Xiangzi was really angry. "A D-rank evil gathering place's curse actually takes half a year to break? What's the point of the family raising you then?"

As the sole heir of the Hualiu family, he had to spend a full six months by this stinking ditch? Such a large family couldn't even quickly resolve the curse on themselves?

"Where is my mother? Does she know that her daughter will be staying here for half a year?"

"I'm sorry, the Patriarch is currently holding back the evil tide in the subspace and can't be free." Hua Liuqian bowed her head, speaking humbly. "The Patriarch is also anxious, but this evil tide is so powerful that the family tree garden is in danger. The Patriarch hasn't returned to the real world for five consecutive days."

"..."

Knowing that her mother was resisting the evil tide, Hua Liu Xiangzi didn't say anything more.

The foundation of the family lies in the tree garden planted in the subspace. If the tree garden is destroyed by evil spirits, then it will be meaningless for her to be the so-called heir of the Hualiu family.

"But, I'll only give you two months to remove the curse. If you still can't remove the curse from me after two months, pack up and get out!"

"If that doesn't work, go ask the people in the evil spirit response department to help me."

After saying that, Hua Liuxiangzi left Hua Liuqian, who was hesitant to speak, and walked straight into the bedroom in the house and fell headfirst onto the bed.

During the days she was in Zhonghe Village, she slept on a hard bed, which was not as comfortable as a soft mattress.

"Haha, my delicate body really deserves a comfortable bed."

"It's getting late, time to get up."

The morning light shone through the glass onto Aicheng Hualian's face, leaving behind fine, dense silver lines. She reached out to support herself, trying to get up, but felt something cool, striped, hanging from her neck.

When she looked back, she saw that it was Kagura Hikaru's hair wrapped around her neck several times, like ivy clinging to the wall.

"Hey, Xiaoguang, you're up. But you weren't asleep at all."

Hearing her call, Kagura Hikaru finally opened his eyes.

She didn't sleep at all, she was awake the whole night.

The evil god doesn't know how to sleep. Her consciousness is too powerful and too active. She can maintain her tremendous energy without sleep, and it is simply inexhaustible.

She simply closed her eyes like her owner, pretending to be asleep like a human, so that it would look more symmetrical.

Sitting up straight, the thin pajamas fell on Kagura Hikaru's body like a thin layer, and her skin, which was paler than the moonlight, could be vaguely seen.

"It's seven o'clock in the morning on June 6th, and three days have passed since we last ate. Xiaoguang, how are you feeling? Are you hungry?"

"No." Kagura Hikaru shook his head. He had eaten hundreds of evil spirits in the Black Water Swamp before, which was enough to sustain him for a while.

"Then let's go have our human breakfast, um... although I'm not very hungry."

Like the evil god, Aicheng Hualian has also gotten rid of the need for ordinary food. When the evil god devours evil spirits, Aicheng Hualian is equivalent to having a meal.

It was only after the evil god reminded her of this situation that she realized it herself.

Opening the wardrobe, Hua Lian picked out a few black work clothes and put them on.

"Xiao Guang, did you bring Inspector Chiyan's clothes?"

"Yes, it's in the Evil God Space, and I'm keeping it."

"That's good. We're here. Maybe Inspector Chiyan will be of use to you."

Opening his personal computer, Aicheng Hualian logged into the small account he had created on the evil-eliminating platform.

This small account usually posts some unimportant commissioned tasks, and occasionally posts some tasks that specifically require Investigator Chi Yan to accept. In other words, this small account was created by Aicheng Hualian in order to post tasks for himself.

The purpose is also very simple, to give Investigator Chi Yan a legitimate reason to go to certain places.

For example, Aicheng Hualian is now using this small account to issue a task to Investigator Chi Yan to "go to Luoxi City to investigate the missing case of a batch of goods." In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for Investigator Chi Yan's appearance in Luoxi City.

As for this batch of missing goods, Aicheng Hualian has also done research.

"A batch of goods from Tanxi City was originally intended for shipment to the Cuitali Federation across the ocean, but it was stolen while passing through Luoxi City and has been missing ever since."

However, according to the information collected by Aicheng Hualian on the evil-eliminating platform, this batch of goods was intercepted by the Black Tide Gang in Luoxi City.

Due to the influence of the Black Tide Gang in Luoxi City, the owner of the goods could only swallow his anger.

This gave Aicheng Hualian an opportunity to take advantage of.

After logging out of the secondary account and logging into Investigator Chi Yan's account, Aicheng Hualian accepted the task.

"Now Inspector Chi Yan has a legitimate reason to appear in Luoxi City."

"The Black Tide Gang, the organization that dared to send people to assassinate Xiaoguang and me, no longer has any reason to exist."

Chapter 169: The Black Tide Gang must be wiped out!

In order to prevent someone from poisoning the food, breakfast for the Third Special Operations Team was specially prepared by the chef of Lei Yu Security Company.

The chef is also responsible for Chairman Lei Shaowu's three meals a day, so there is no need to worry about the safety and taste of the food.

Not only that, the team's food is delivered by a special person. From the moment the food enters the kitchen until it is delivered to Aicheng Hualian and others, there are guards guarding the entire process, eliminating any possibility of assassins poisoning from the root.

"If you are still worried and think this is not safe enough, for example, if there is a traitor among the guards, our chef can come to you and prepare meals on the spot." said the breakfast escort with a respectful expression.

"That's not necessary." Captain Donglan smiled. The entire night's vigil yesterday hadn't left any trace of fatigue on her face. "I believe Chairman Lei's subordinates are under pressure now, and they must race against time."

Of course, she trusts the Aicheng team members around her more.

If there is poison in the food, the members of the Aicheng team will definitely be able to see through it.

I don’t know when it started, but Captain Donglan has developed such trust in Aicheng Hualian.

With Captain Donglan's permission, the breakfast escort, who was an F-rank psychic, placed the breakfast in front of the five members of the team (Feng Lizi was temporarily considered a member of the team), then bowed slightly and left the room.

"Are Sister Tarina and the others okay?"

While eating a ham sandwich and dipping it in fried eggs with soy sauce, Aicheng Hualian asked Talina and her partner who were lost in the desert about their current situation.

"The situation is okay at the moment. They called me last night and said they had found a means of transportation and would be able to get out of the desert in three days, and then fly back to Luoxi City." Donglan glanced at the breakfast and picked out the vegetarian dishes.

"Emily, how are you doing? How's your data collection going on the Black Tide Gang?"

"Hmm... The situation with the Black Tide Gang is a bit complicated." The blonde girl munched her sandwich, her mouth full of sauce. "They're a dark force that's been entrenched in Luoxi City for many years. Their leader is a peak E-rank psychic named Black Tide Ryuya. It's said that he's just one step away from successfully advancing to D-rank."

"The Black Tide Gang is ostensibly responsible for maintaining Luoxi City's ships, but secretly they're willing to take on any job. They have a history of kidnapping, robbery, and even murder and robbery."

"There's actually a gang like this where I live?" Feng Lizi, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Why don't the police arrest them all?"

The girl's innocent words made everyone present except Kagura Hikaru feel a little pity for her.

"Feng Lizi, the Black Tide Gang has someone protecting them, and the police officer's boss might have accepted gifts from the Black Tide Gang. If a classmate gives you a gift, and he's your friend, even if he does something bad later, will you tell the teacher?" Captain Donglan explained in words that even children could understand.

Feng Lizi frowned and said, "Of course I will! Even if it's a friend, I will tell the teacher if he does something wrong."

"But what if all the classmates accepted your friend's gift? If you go to the teacher and complain, will the classmates all ostracize you?"

"This..." Feng Lizi, a sixth-grade student, frowned. It was not a pleasant feeling to be isolated by the whole class.

"The Black Tide Gang is very powerful?" Aicheng Hualian ate the last piece of bread and wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Can the people in power in Luoxi City collude with them?"

"Of course, the Black Tide Gang doesn't have that kind of power, but they're forming factions and interacting with other gangs in Luoxi City," Emily said, turning the computer screen towards Aicheng Hualian. "You see, these gangs have formed an alliance and have deep vested interests with each other. If you make an enemy of the Black Tide Gang, you're equivalent to making an enemy of all the gangs."

The Black Tide Gang, the Luohe Gang, the Soy Sauce Fish Clan...

The names of the thirteen gangs are connected to each other, forming an intricate network of interests.

"However, Chairman Lei Shaowu has already sent people to clear out the Black Tide Gang's territory. Lei Yu Security Company is also a behemoth in Luoxi City. The Black Tide Gang will probably be quiet for a while." Captain Dong Lan said, "As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. We are here with a mission this time, and we will leave the rest to Lei Yu Company."

"Well, I don't agree with this." Aicheng Hualian looked at Donglan. "Although Leiyu Company is not afraid of the Black Tide Gang, they have been living in peace with the Black Tide Gang for so many years. There must be some mutual interests involved."

"I think that even with Lei Shaowu's order, his subordinates may not do their best to carry out their work."

"Perhaps, there are accomplices from the Black Tide Gang inside Lei Yu's company."

Aicheng Hualian guessed correctly.
