I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

According to her original idea, after revealing her ability to "see through the curse", Talina would quickly report her ability to the Intelligence Department to attract the attention of the higher-ups.

With the help of the resurgence of the Chongling Cult, she can use her special abilities to gain the trust of the Intelligence Department, and use the resources of the Intelligence Department to obtain a large amount of evil information, paving a broad and smooth road for raising evil gods.

Unexpectedly, Talina's first reaction was to ask her to protect her secret to prevent being hunted down by the Chongling Cult.

"Sister Tarina, do you want me to hide my abilities and continue to be an ordinary intelligence officer?"

"Just call me Talina. That's exactly what I mean."

"But now that the Spirit Worship Cult has emerged, and my ability happens to be able to see through their curse, isn't this a good opportunity for me to show my skills?"

"You're wrong." Talina shook her head, her expression solemn. "Since those guys in the Spirit Worship Cult dared to so brazenly kill our captain, it shows that they have secretly accumulated enough power to support their reckless behavior."

"Under such circumstances, the Chongling Cult is in the dark, and we are in the light. Rashly exposing your abilities will only put you in endless danger."

"Are you saying this?" Aicheng Hualian suddenly thought of a possibility and blurted out, "There are spies from the Chongling Cult in the Intelligence Department, so the more people know about my abilities, the greater the chance of them being exposed to the Chongling Cult?"

"A spy?... You're talking about one possibility." Laughing at Hua Lian's wild imagination, Talina said, "Actually, I'm thinking that the Spiritual Worship Cult uses all sorts of strange methods, and perhaps they use some kind of brainwashing. If, while we're fighting the Spiritual Worship Cult, one of our intelligence department's unlucky individuals gets captured and brainwashed by the Cult, and happens to know your abilities, Hua Lian, that would be troublesome."

"Less trouble is worse than more. Hua Lian, wait until those guys from the Chongling Cult truly bare their fangs before revealing your abilities to the public. By then, you will become a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Chongling Cult, dealing a fatal blow to them at the height of the confrontation."

"Okay! I'll listen to Sister Tarina."

"I've already told you not to call me sister. Now that you're a member of our team, we can just call each other by our names." Talina shook her head helplessly.

Aicheng Hualian's attitude was far too polite, not at all like someone with a backer who had come to the intelligence department to polish their credentials. He was even more obedient than those freshly graduated reserve members.

……

After some discussion, Aicheng Hualian and Talina parted ways at the gate of the Intelligence Department and set out on their journey home.

The weather in the evening was not very good, and the setting sun was blocked by a few dark clouds before it even set.

Aicheng Hualian walked on the street, thinking about his future.

"The Soul-Fixing Device was originally on Captain Donglan's body, but now she's seriously injured and bedridden, and the device has been stored in the Intelligence Department's warehouse. We must find a way to force the Intelligence Department to use the Soul-Fixing Device and then take it away from her."

"I need to spread my ability to see through curses as quickly as possible. It would be best if I could let those guys in the Spirit Worship Sect know about it so they can focus their attention on me."

"Hey, since the Chongling Cult believes in evil spirits, they must have a way to actively attract evil spirits to come. For me, it's like a permanent meal ticket."

On another street, Talina had a serious expression on her face, thinking in her mind how to deal with the sudden situation of Aicheng Hualian.

"I chatted with that girl for a while. I didn't expect her ability to be so well hidden. In the past five years, no one has discovered that she can see through the curse."

"Even the mysterious backer behind Aicheng Hualian doesn't seem to know her abilities, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed her to take up such a sinecure in the Intelligence Department."

"Wait a moment." Talina, who was walking on the street, suddenly paused and her expression changed suddenly.

"Oh no! I forgot to tell Emily that guy was going to hide Karen's ability!"

She quickly took out her cell phone and sent a message to Emily using a special channel.

[Hey! Emily! Are you there now? Don't tell anyone else about what we saw today regarding Aicheng Hualian. Let's keep this secret within our own team, Team Three. Okay? This is very important! It concerns Aicheng Hualian's life.]

As the one who knows the most about the Chongling Cult in our team, you should know that if the Chongling Cult wants to assassinate someone, it's impossible to prevent it! Don't tell anyone else about Hua Lian's abilities, especially those guys in the operations department, understand!

【Reply: Sorry, you are late. 】

[What! Damn it! Who did you tell about Karen's ability!?]

[Reply: Do you want to hear good news or bad news...]

[Say it to me!] Talina was almost pissed off to death by the petite girl on the other end of the phone.

[Reply: The good news is that I didn't act that quickly. I didn't tell the higher-ups in the Intelligence Department about Aicheng Hualian's abilities, nor did I tell anyone else in the response department.]

[Reply 2: However, I told Aicheng Hualian's so-called backer about her abilities. He's the guy who planted Aicheng Hualian in our team. I think he's like Aicheng Hualian's guardian and has the right to know this information.]

"What the hell? Do you have that guy's phone number or something?"

[Reply: No, I simply tracked down the original address that sent the order that asked us to accept Aicheng Hualian's job application letter, and I reverse-engineered Aicheng Hualian's ability information and sent it back.]

"Well, that's fine... but you know what? I had a chat with Hua Lian before leaving get off work. The guy behind Aicheng Hua Lian didn't even know Hua Lian had the ability to see through the curse. Anyway, Emily, your actions might bring Hua Lian huge trouble."

……

"Who's that at the door?!"

Passing the corner of the street, Aicheng Hualian immediately saw the figure with long dark blue hair leaning against the door of her house.

The other person held a mobile phone in his left hand and a one-meter-long iron mallet in his right hand. He wore a combat mask on his face and just stood there quietly, as if the temperature around him had dropped several degrees.

All residents living in Donghua City can recognize this famous kind-hearted investigator, the hero who protects the safety of Donghua City from the hands of evil.

But what was strange was that although there were many passers-by on the street, no one looked at the kind-hearted Inspector leaning at the door of Aicheng Hualian's house, as if there was only a ball of air there.

It's strange, why would Inspector Jishin, or rather Sister Mahiru, be guarding her own door?

Walking up to the other person, Aijo Karen put on a big, surprised smile, "Oh my God! It's Inspector Cixin! How did you get to my doorstep?"

"Nothing." Investigator Kindness said calmly, "I just wanted to chat with a girl with special abilities."

As he spoke, the other party looked at Aicheng Hualian, and his hand holding the hammer trembled slightly.

Chapter 48: Protection Skills Failed

Investigator Cixin, one of the only three investigators in Donghua City, has been active in Donghua City since two years ago. He has handled more than 300 evil cases and saved thousands of citizens from the hands of evil spirits. His strength has reached D-level and he is almost a household name in Donghua City.

As an investigator who draws energy from the kindness of humanity, Cixin's approach has always been guided by the principles of "kindness and tolerance." Of the three investigators in Donghua City, Cixin is the most approachable and can often be seen at amusement parks or the zoo.

After all, in those places, people would show a lot of kindness to the animals in the fences or friends who were playing together, making it easier for her to extract spiritual energy from them and improve her abilities.

Through all this back and forth, even the five-year-old children in Donghua City knew the name of Inspector Ci Xin, and affectionately called the investigator who held a mallet, wore a black combat uniform, and beat the evil spirits to a pulp "Sister Ci Xin".

And it was such an investigator who came to the home of a girl who had just graduated from the Evil Response Department Academy and had caused a big joke.

If this scene were to become known to others, I wonder how many marketing accounts it would support.

"Inspector Kindness, this place is rather simple, so please bear with me for a while."

When she saw Investigator Cixin standing at her door and saying that he wanted to talk to her, Aicheng Hualian knew that the other party had already known the news that she had just revealed, that she had the ability to see through curses.

As for who informed the other party of the news, it is easy to guess that it was Emily, the technical leader of the third team of the Intelligence Department, who also served as the intelligence gathering officer.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Ah, that's not necessary. I don't drink beverages." Seeing Aicheng Hualian take out two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator, Inspector Cixin quickly waved his hand to refuse.

Seeing this, the orange-haired girl had no choice but to put the drink back into the refrigerator. Then, with an excited yet embarrassed expression on her face, she walked to the chair in front of Inspector Cixin and sat down.

Her body was a little tense, her breathing was a little rapid, her hands were placed in front of her, her ten fingers entangled with each other, she seemed not to know where to put them, and she looked very nervous.

She should be nervous.

As an ordinary person among the millions of residents of Donghua City, it would be abnormal if I didn't feel nervous when meeting one of the only three investigators.

Although, judging by various factors, she doesn't need to be nervous.

Because she knew that beneath the mask worn by the investigator in front of her was a gentle and beautiful face that she was very familiar with.

"Um... Inspector Kindness, you said you had something to discuss with me, and that I have special abilities. Could that be what you mean?"

Looking at the nervous look on the girl's face, Tsuzaki Mahiru sighed inwardly and said bluntly, "That's right. Aijo Karen, the 99th student of the Demonic Response Department, doesn't have any psychic powers. She graduated four days ago and started working at the Donghua City Intelligence Department a day ago. I'm right, right?"

"Well, you're quite right!"

"Just now, I received news that your team leader Donglan was seriously injured and cursed. Thanks to you for noticing the curse on Donglan, you were able to stop the bleeding from her wound."

"When did you discover your ability to sense curses?"

"Hmm..." Aicheng Hualian lowered his head in thought, then looked up and said, "I don't know. Maybe I've had this ability since the moment I was born, but because I never had the opportunity to encounter the curse, I never knew I had such an ability."

"Until three years ago, when I went to the cemetery to pay my respects to everyone in the orphanage, I noticed something black lingering above one of the graves. Now that I think about it, it was probably a curse or something like that."

Aicheng Hualian was of course lying.

She had no ability to see through the curse at all, but she just borrowed the perspective of the evil god to make all the curses appear in front of her.

"In that case, as far as I know, you've never told anyone about your ability. Why?" Using her identity as Investigator Kindness, Tsuzaki Mahiru asked the question she wanted most. "If the bad guys discovered your ability, your life would be in danger."

When she found out that Karen had the ability to see through the curse but had never told her, Tsuzaki Mahiru felt a little aggrieved.

Why didn't Hualian tell me about his abilities? Was it because he didn't trust me, or did he feel like an outsider?

Yes, she and Hua Lian had only known each other for two years, and asking Hua Lian to tell her everything was actually overstepping her bounds.

But my heart still can't help wanting to know the answer.

"Well, I just found out I have the ability to see through curses."

"I thought those dark things I saw before were just some traces of evil left behind. Naturally, there are other psychics to deal with them."

Aicheng Hualian smiled embarrassedly.

From her perspective, she had never associated those dark and ominous things with curses, and such knowledge was not taught in school, so even she herself didn't know that her ability was to see through curses.

It was not until just now, after helping Captain Donglan stop the bleeding from her wound, and with Talina's reminder, that "she realized the true nature of her abilities."

It turned out to be the case.

Tsuzaki Mahiru nodded secretly in her heart. Karen herself didn't know what abilities she possessed, and it wasn't like she was deliberately hiding them from her.

However, despite possessing the ability to see through curses, Hua Lian herself has no psychic power and is unable to protect herself.

Now that the Chongling Cult has reappeared, Hua Lian cannot be put in danger.

"Those things are in the past. But Aijo Karen, now that you possess this special ability and you yourself have no psychic powers, you must be protected."

"Protect?"

"Yes, you should have heard from your teammates that those members of the Spirit Worship Cult, who are skilled in using curses, will pose a threat to your life."

"Aicheng Hualian, you are now considered a member of the evil response department. It is my responsibility to protect your safety."

"This is not only for you, but also for the future, so that those who come into direct conflict with the Chongling Cult will have a pair of eyes that can directly point to the Chongling Cult's weak points."

"This spiritual skill will attach itself to your body. If you are attacked by evil energy or curses, it will protect you. Attacks of rank D or below will not be able to harm you at all."

As he spoke, Inspector Kindness stretched out his left hand towards Aicheng Hualian, and a fluorescent green light symbol floated towards Aicheng Hualian's chest.

Then, something happened that Tsuzaki Mahiru did not expect.

The light talisman disappeared suddenly before it touched Aicheng Hualian's body.

Chapter 49: The circular seal has also failed

"How could this happen? My guardian talisman was actually rejected by Hua Lian's body?"

Investigator Cixin's heart, which had just been relieved, was once again gripped with worry.

The Guardian Talisman is one of the spiritual skills that Tsuzaki Mahiru used her own psychic energy as a basis and was tailored for the evil spirit response department.

The emotional psychic energy with benevolent attributes is attached to the target's body surface, forming a solid invisible shield with a defensive ability as strong as a solid wall.

Not to mention ordinary people like Aicheng Hualian who have no psychic powers, even an E-level psychic cannot resist the protection of this talisman, which has a sense of compulsion.

However, even such spiritual skills dissipated into countless powders and fragments when it was nearly half a meter away from Aicheng Hualian. It did not even have the chance to emit light and disappeared into the air like dust.

"What's wrong? You look a little pale."

Thinking deeply, Tsuzaki Mahiru looked up at Aijo Karen in front of her and found that her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. She hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Did my spiritual skills have a bad effect on you?"

"No…No."

Aicheng Hualian waved her hands, enduring the burning pain coming from her chest.

In the middle of her chest, a ball of ominous blue light was spreading, expanding along her blood vessels and on the surface of her body.

The power of the evil god was boiling, and it was this power that tore the light talisman of Tsuzaki Mahiru into powder.

It goes without saying that the evil god in her body is angry because of the actions of the kind-hearted investigator.

Although in a condensed state, the evil god's vast majority of power was trapped within the egg. However, using Aijo Karen's body as a medium, he could easily destroy the spiritual skills of a D-rank investigator with his own strength.

Although the evil god achieved his goal, it made Aicheng Hualian suffer.

As the vessel of the evil god, she is now suffering from torture from all sides.

On the one hand, he had to send his spiritual energy into the body of the evil god, letting the other party devour it, creating the illusion that he had no spiritual energy at all.

On the other hand, he had to draw out some of his own spiritual energy to suppress the evil energy that erupted from the evil god's anger, so as to prevent the compassionate investigator in front of him from discovering any abnormalities.

Aicheng Hualian split her low-level C-grade psychic energy into two parts. Her entire consciousness was walking on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff. If she was not careful, everything would be over.

"Really? Now that you're in the condensed state, just behave yourself!"
