I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

The two people with many years of experience in the industry knew that the array in front of them did have the function of teleportation, and the effective range was at least ten kilometers.

But they clearly remembered that when they walked out of the tavern, they did not see the so-called teleportation array at all.

Wusun Yun's expression changed and he immediately thanked Aicheng Hualian.

"Investigator Chi Yan is able to give us this information. I really don't know how we can repay him."

"It's ridiculous that I had doubts about Investigator Chi Yan's abilities before. I feel so ashamed." Duanmu Xue on the side echoed.

As the only investigator to discover the teleportation array, Aicheng Hualian could have kept it a secret and seized the opportunity. However, she shared the news with all the other investigators, earning Wusun Yun and the others' sincere admiration.

"Helping each other is what we should do."

Aicheng Hualian said politely.

The reason why she informed other investigators of the existence of the teleportation array was very simple. After speculating that the kidnapper used the teleportation array to teleport Qing Zhulan to another place, Aicheng Hualian knew that she could not complete this commission by her own strength.

The effective range of the teleportation array was a full ten kilometers, and Qing Zhulan had disappeared two days ago. The kidnappers could easily have moved Qing Zhulan to another place within those two days, thus preventing the investigators from tracking her.

Moreover, since the other party had set a trap in this teleportation array, it was reasonable to speculate that the moment she discovered this teleportation array, the mastermind behind the scenes had already learned of the news and immediately took other counter-reconnaissance measures.

And although Aishiro Karen has strong vitality and her fighting ability is backed by the evil god, she doesn't really have many tracking methods.

[…I can cover the entire area…and find that human.]

The dark blue mass in her chest squirmed, and a thought reached her from her heart. The evil god within her informed Aicheng Hualian that it possessed the power to envelop the entire city and dig deep into its depths.

"Ah, let's not do that. Don't let the person be found and a lot of citizens die. I don't want to be a wanted criminal when I'm eighteen."

【…】

"DiDi! DiDi!"

At this moment, the phone in Aicheng Hualian's pocket began to vibrate.

She took out her cell phone and was shocked by the caller's name.

It's Mahiru Kazaki.

The kind-hearted investigator who treated her as his sister, the neighbor who lived across from her, was now standing at her door, ringing the doorbell and dialing her phone number.

"Oh no, why is Mahiru-nee coming to my house at this time?"

Thinking that something was wrong, Aicheng Hualian found an excuse to say goodbye to Wusun Yun and the others and left in a hurry.

Just kidding, if Tsuzaki Mahiru, the official investigator, finds out something strange, she will be in big trouble.

After she left, Duanmu Xue and Wusun Yun looked at each other and decided to tell the other investigators what they had seen.

After they left, some investigators came to the wall one after another and stared at the teleportation array in a daze.

"It turns out that Inspector Chi Yan was right."

For a moment, those investigators who questioned Aicheng Hualian felt as if the diagram had hit their faces, causing a burning pain.

……

On a tree next to the Baiju Tavern, Inspector Hua Liu, or rather, Hua Liu Xiangzi, watched Ai Cheng Hua Lian's departing back and quietly climbed down the tree.

"Hehe, even if you have used some unknown means to conceal your psychic fluctuations and evaded the detection of my equipment, the business card I gave you carries my own psychic energy."

"Those psychic powers belong to me. I want to see how you hide them."

Hua Liu Xiangzi is not someone who gives up easily.

As the 13th generation descendant of the Hualiu family, she knew she had to fight for her own opportunities. She had a hunch that if she could bring the Red Yan Investigator under her wing, she would be able to live a comfortable and carefree life in the future.

So, she did a little trick on the personal business card she gave to Investigator Chi Yan.

On that business card, there is her spiritual power, which emits a fragrance that only she can smell.

Following the fragrance, Hua Liu Xiangzi moved forward.

After dozens of minutes, she was stunned.

In front of her, the cherry blossom-colored business card was lying in a pile of garbage, mocking her little thoughts.

It turned out that Aicheng Hualian had thrown her business card into a pile of garbage on her way home just to be on the safe side.

"Asshole! How dare you ruin my business card like this!"

Chapter 21 I'm Just Looking for a Job

"Where on earth did this child Hua Lian go?"

Tsuzaki Mahiru is in a very bad mood right now, a very bad mood.

After sending an E-rank demon back to the subspace, she rushed back to the demon response department to report on the mission, then took off her combat uniform and walked to her doorstep.

Just as she was about to open the door and go in, she suddenly had an impulse and looked at the house across the street, and a little doubt arose in her mind.

What is Hua Lian doing now?

Tsuzaki Mahiru has always treated her neighbor, who is two years younger than her, as her younger sister.

She used to be the eldest daughter in the family, with parents above her and three younger sisters below her. The family of six lived a happy life until a tragic accident destroyed everything.

They were celebrating the birthday of their youngest sister when a clown evil spirit came into their home to cause trouble, trying to feed on their frustration.

Although everything was chaotic, it wasn't fatal. The clown's antics even made my sister laugh until he smashed a fruit knife into the gas line.

The flames and explosions engulfed the entire house. She was talking on the phone with her classmates on the balcony and escaped the disaster, but she also became the only survivor.

Her three sisters were dead, her parents were dead too, and five bodies were burning in the room. The black smoke and heat waves choked her so much that she couldn't move forward. She could only watch her past being engulfed by the flames.

The evil clown also died in the explosion, depriving her of the chance for revenge.

Later, she was adopted by the Evil Response Department and awakened her psychic powers a month later. Ironically, the psychic nature of her awakened power was kindness, and she had to be tolerant even when facing evil spirits.

Shortly after becoming a D-rank investigator, she met her neighbor, Karen Aijo, a girl who had also lost her best friend and teacher to an evil attack. She was two years younger than her and happened to be the same age as one of her younger sisters...if her younger sister was still alive.

As neighbors, they naturally had some interactions over the two years.

Lu Qi Mahiru was surprised to find that despite the disaster, Karen was not as depressed as before. On the contrary, a bright smile was a common visitor on her face. Ai Cheng Karen's words and deeds were always so sunny that the haze accumulated in the deepest part of her heart was melted away.

Everything went on naturally... Needless to say, she took care of the other person in all aspects of life. After learning that the other person did not have any psychic powers, she felt even more pity for the poor girl.

As for treating the other person as your own sister... it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a meal replacement. It is more like a kind of guilt and compensation, a kind of luck of finding what you once lost in others.

But now... the street lights in the remote neighborhood were dim, and the cold moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds. It was already twelve thirty-seven in the middle of the night. She knocked on Aicheng Hualian's door, but received no response.

Activating her psychic vision, she discovered that the building in front of her was empty, ruling out the possibility that Karen was soundly asleep.

So, what was an eighteen-year-old girl doing out in the middle of the night?

Was the other party attacked by those evil spirits before?

Thinking of this crazy situation, Tsuzaki Mahiru couldn't help but close her eyes and let her spiritual energy slowly spread out.

If necessary, she would rather pay the price of overdrawing her strength and use her psychic power to sweep the entire city to find Hua Lian.

D-level spiritual energy surged out of her body, and the old door in front of her was immediately in trouble.

“Crack…bang!”

Three screws spun and fell to the ground, and the door made a mournful sound.

Just as this unfortunate door was about to be broken down by her psychic power, Aicheng Hualian's voice sounded from the other side.

"Mahiru-nee?"

The girl appeared from the corner of the street, her body covered in dust, as if she had fallen on the road. She looked very tired and showed signs of lack of sleep.

"Hua Lian!"

Tsuzaki Mahiru no longer cared about hiding her strength. She rushed to Aishiro Karen in two or three steps and looked at the girl in front of her carefully.

The girl's hands bore traces of friction and several bruises. Her coat was stained with dust, and her two braids were gone, now scattered across her shoulders. Her face was also stained with dust, like a puppy that had rolled in the mud.

"Where have you been? Why are you so dirty?"

"I…"

Something wet welled up in Aicheng Hualian's eyes.

Lies are more convincing when accompanied by tears.

"I went to the night market to see if there were any jobs suitable for me. But the people there saw that I had no special skills and knew nothing, so they didn't accept my job application."

"I didn't expect that on the way home, I met a terrifying evil spirit. It was over three meters tall and sprayed ink at me like a giant octopus. It was so scary... woo woo..."

Hua Lian was attacked by an evil spirit!

The thing that he was most worried about finally happened. The pain from that night ten years ago came back and pierced into Tsuzaki Mahiru's heart.

Her vision went dark, and she looked over Aicheng Hualian's body again. After confirming that she was safe, she anxiously asked, "Then how did you get back? Where's that evil spirit?"

"Well...someone helped me. She said she was an investigator or something."

Private investigator.

Unexpectedly, it was those guys who were afraid to walk under the sun who saved Aicheng Hualian's life.

"I'm glad you're okay...I wouldn't believe it!" Tsuzaki Mahiru grabbed Aishiro Karen's hand and walked towards her home.

She had already prepared a long sermon, but when she saw Aicheng Hualian yawning, her heart ached and she gave up the idea of ​​a long speech.

"You kid, I'll settle the score with you tomorrow. Go wash up, wash off all the mud on your body, and then go to bed obediently."

"Um...thank you, Mahiru-nee."

"Also, I told you not to worry about your job. If you're really in a hurry, you could try sending a job application to the Demonic Response Department."

"But the teacher said that with my situation, the probability of me being able to work in the department is very small."

Because of Ai Cheng Hua Lian's previous tragic experience, many people in the department believed that she had the potential to become an official investigator. All the education and training she received was about "how to become a qualified investigator."

Later, she was diagnosed with no psychic powers, which naturally cut off her path to becoming an investigator. Looking back, she found that she could do nothing without psychic powers.

One type of class was filled with Chinese, only to find out the exam was actually about math. With no special skills, she naturally couldn't meet the extremely stringent entry requirements for the Demonic Response Department.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Tsuzaki Mahiru said softly. She pinched Karen's cheek. "The department is short of staff right now. Why not try submitting a job application to the Intelligence Department?"

"By the way, do you know the name of the investigator who saved you?"

Before leaving, Tsuzaki Mahiru asked Karen.

"Oh, that's her. She calls herself Hua Liu, or Hua Liu Investigator." Aicheng Hualian pointed eastward. "She was just there."

Chapter 22 You Are Dirty (Third update, please give me a recommendation)

Looking at Tsuzaki Mahiru's receding figure, a smile appeared on Aishiro Karen's lips.

Everything is according to her plan.

When she learned that Tsuzaki Mahiru was looking for her whereabouts, she immediately thought of her next plan.

Visiting the night market is real.

After leaving Baiju Tavern, she immediately ran to the night market and pretended to ask if the shops there were short of staff. She also tore off some recruitment advertisements posted in the corner and put them in her pocket for emergency use.

If Tsuzaki Mahiru doubted her, she would produce those job advertisements as proof.

Being attacked by evil spirits is also real.

There were twenty-three evil spirits, eighteen of which were fighting against the private investigators, two of the three E-level evil spirits were driven away by the two official investigators, one was killed by herself, and the remaining two were scared away by the violent psychic fluctuations in the air.

However, they could evade the investigator's psychic detection, but they could not evade her as the evil god's breeder.

Aicheng Hualian's body has been immersed in evil energy for many years, so she is very familiar with this kind of evil energy.

After a stroll outside, she found the two little evil creatures shivering in an underground parking lot and drove them out.

So to be precise, it was she who attacked the two evil spirits.

While driving them away, she didn't control her strength well and killed one of them. Only the evil one that looked like an octopus was left. It was so scared that it spit out ink at her crazily.

It is also true that he was rescued by Inspector Hualiu.

With her carefully planned route, she happened to pass by Inspector Hualiu during her chase with the evil creature.

At that time, she had already taken off her disguise as the Red Yan Investigator and turned back into the weak 18-year-old girl.

Inspector Hualiu was furious because her business card had been destroyed, and the unfortunate evil spirit ran directly into her gun and was killed by her in a few hits.
