I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

Walking to the center of the evil god's body, the egg wrapped around the girl became darker in color.

No, the thing in that egg could no longer be called a girl.

The other person's humanoid limbs twisted and changed into sticky and thick tentacles. His pale face was covered with black flesh and tendons. His jet-black hair was no longer flowing, but more like the claws of an octopus.

The "girl" dug her legs deep into her body on the ground, gathering all the energy in her body into the core of the egg like tree roots.

"It seems the level of evolution has increased significantly, to the point where the evil god can no longer maintain his human disguise and has begun to reveal his true form."

"This also means..."

She looked directly at the evil god's true form.

hum!

A sound, dozens of times more violent than the buzzing of wild bees, flooded Aicheng Hualian's mind. It carried a frantic, melody, as if it were emanating from the very ends of the universe. Her eyes immediately shed two streams of blood and tears, and her head ached intensely, as if something were thrashing around inside her skull, trying to burst free.

She quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at the evil god any further.

This was only the second day of the condensed state, and just by seeing the other party's "half-real body", she felt as if her soul was about to be cut in half.

She watched the blood flowing from her eyes, which changed from a creepy crimson to an even more terrifying blue-black in just half a second.

The power of the evil god seems to be getting stronger.

Following her memory, she walked forward, stepping on the soft flesh and placing her hands on the surface of the eggshell.

【You came】

Overlapping voices flowed into her consciousness. Compared to the girl's voice before, there was an extra sense of dullness, as if she was locked behind layers of heavy doors.

"Well, how do you feel?"

[Power is gathering, I will gather myself until it condenses into a single point.]

"Then, can you give me some of your strength?"

"Just a little is enough. I can't handle more."

Aicheng Hualian said so.

Before, she had been able to call upon even a tiny bit of the Heretic God's power without needing to "apply" to him. However, now, in his condensed state, the Heretic God had restrained his own power to such a terrifying degree that Aicheng Hualian found herself unable to pry open the Heretic God's evil energy.

For the next action, evil energy was indispensable, so she entered here and asked the evil god for some power.

As she expected, the other party's response was simple and direct.

【Can. 】

Chapter 52: Sacrifice

This is not the first time that Aicheng Hualian has borrowed power from the evil god.

During the time after she became a private investigator, because all her spiritual energy was used to maintain the integrity of her body, the only power she could use was the evil god contained in her body.

Although he was using it, he was actually just borrowing a little bit of the opponent's aura, like projecting the power of the evil god onto himself. But even so, it was effortless to deal with evil spirits below E rank.

The evil god has now entered the condensed state, and has restrained all of his evil energy, so that Aicheng Hualian no longer needs to invest his own spiritual energy to maintain the integrity of his body.

At this point, the spiritual energy that originally belonged to her truly filled her body, making her a "psychic" in the general sense, rather than the private investigator who swept across everything with the aura of the evil god.

But the world is so wonderful. Aicheng Hualian, who was finally able to use psychic power at will, now needs to rely on the evil power of the evil god to achieve his goals.

[I can lend you power, but... not too much]

The reply from the evil girl was simple and clear, without any hesitation.

If other believers who worship creatures of the Warp knew this, they would probably go crazy with jealousy.

Those cult members who worship the creatures of the Warp and risk being brought to justice by the evil response department will have to pay the price of blood if they want to obtain any gifts from the creatures of the Warp.

Offering sacrifices, worshipping the other party, and obeying orders are just the most basic requirements. If you want to ask the subspace creatures to take action, sometimes you need to sign various unequal contracts and be subordinate to those subspace creatures.

The lovely Cheng Hualian just said hello and an evil god bestowed his divine power on her.

A jet-black hair fell off the evil girl's head and fell into her hand through the eggshell.

When she touched the hair, a bone-chilling feeling seeped down from the thin line, as if a sharp knife was about to cut her palm.

The pain did not last long. In an instant, the hair melted into her palm and turned into black-blue evil energy flowing through her veins.

Perhaps because of the five years of coexistence, Aicheng Hualian's spiritual power did not have much resistance to the evil energy that had been raging in her body for a long time. For a moment, black and red colors flowed in her blood vessels at the same time, clearly separated from each other and not infringing on each other.

For the first time, Aicheng Hualian possessed both evil power and psychic power at the same time, and began to compare the differences between the two.

The evil energy of the evil god was even deeper and heavier, like an unfathomable abyss, while her own spiritual power was like a string of thin candles connected together, appearing immature.

It goes without saying that if these two energies conflict, her psychic power will definitely be the loser.

However, this speculation is completely groundless.

"What a disparity in energy levels. As a human, I can't compare to the Heretic God."

"But I can definitely handle this energy."

I want a sacrifice...

At this moment, the girl in the egg said this, causing Aijo Karen to widen her eyes in surprise.

"What did you say? Sacrifice?"

[Hmm… As a god, I can’t give away my power in vain. I need to exchange.]

[So, you have to pay the price, or I will lock you up here]

"Eh? Why are you acting like a child?"

Aicheng Hualian sighed helplessly.

She originally thought that the evil god in her body, because of its limited experience, would not make various cumbersome demands like other gods. Now it seems that this need for "sacrifice" from others is engraved in the bones of these gods.

"It's already this late, where can I get a sacrifice for you? I can't even conjure up animals like pigs, cows, and sheep for you."

【Your blood, give me your blood. 】

"Humph, it really is the evil god."

Although she complained, Aicheng Hualian still followed the other party's request and used the evil energy she had just obtained to condense a black blade in her left hand.

She brought the blade to her right hand and gently cut her thumb.

She had intended to make a small cut to let some blood flow, but she discovered the black blade's power was beyond her imagination, instantly severing three fingers from her right hand. The bloody fingers fell to the black ground, and were instantly devoured by the evil god as a snack.

"Oh, I cut too much."

With a small cry of surprise, she pressed the broken ends of three fingers on the eggshell in annoyance. The gushing blood flowed directly into the egg, staining a small patch of crimson in the dark blue egg white. A suction force pulled the crimson patch into a thin and elongated shape, and it was sucked into the evil god's mouth.

The blood continued to flow, but the evil god was not satisfied.

I don’t know exactly how much the other person means by “a little”.

Aicheng Hualian glanced at the huge body of the evil god, and was afraid that the evil god's understanding of quantity was very different from what he thought.

Paleness crept up her cheeks, numbness invaded her bones, and the evil god finally spoke.

[Okay, that's enough.]

"That's enough for you."

He moved his right hand away, and spiritual energy surged, and three fingers regenerated in a few seconds.

Possessing C-rank psychic powers and extremely strong regenerative properties, she considers broken limbs to be just ordinary injuries.

"Five days left, right? Your condensed form."

[Yes. This space is still rebellious and may need your help when the time comes.]

"I know. Just like before, I used the properties of my psychic power to suppress its counterattack. But this is just foreplay, isn't it? Your hunting mentality is the real trouble."

Waving his hand, Aicheng Hualian walked towards the space passage leading to the real world.

Behind her, the evil god silently devoured her blood.

The blood from the girl's body was absorbed into his own body, and his mind, which had gradually become blurred due to the transformation, became clear again.

【tasty…】

……

In an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Donghua City, Aicheng Hualian stood in the middle, raising his hands, and streams of bright red spiritual energy gushed out.

C-rank psychic energy surged endlessly through the warehouse, weeds sprouting from the cracks between the bricks, towering to a man's height. The creeper on the walls spread like crazy, staining the gray stone walls a dark green.

Nourished by Aicheng Hualian's psychic energy, various plants compressed their growth process of several years into just a few seconds, turning this warehouse into a paradise for plants. There was an atmosphere of prosperity, as if they had directly crossed the winter and rushed into the new year.

After completely consuming her own spiritual energy, only the cold and ominous evil energy remained in her body, flowing slowly in her veins like ink.

Pushing aside the plants in front of her, she was covered with pitch-black flesh armor, and evil energy gushed out of her whole body.

Looking towards a small hill in the east, behind it is the abandoned industrial park where the Intelligence Department is located.

The girl laughed and said, "Hey, the evil spirit Aijo Karen has appeared."

"Wait, how do those villains laugh?"

"Jie Jie!"

Chapter 53: Attack

The Intelligence Department of Donghua City's Evil Response Department.

Working hours are from 7:00 am to 7:00 am the next day, working around the clock. Of course, in order to ensure the mental state of employees, all employees are divided into three shifts.

It is now one o'clock in the morning, just one hour after the shift change, which is the time when the night shift workers are most energetic.

Kobayashi Yuko sat in a chair, watching the surveillance video screen in front of her. It showed the situation around the Intelligence Department base. The cold moonlight cast a shadow over the abandoned industrial park, making it seem even more desolate.

"I don't know what news the higher-ups got, but they've told us to be extra vigilant and closely scrutinize surveillance footage in all locations. Sigh."

Ms. Yuko, with her shoulder-length brown hair, complained. Since early yesterday morning, the Intelligence Department has issued instructions to all employees, entering a Level 5 alert state, requiring "employees not to take their eyes off the surveillance screens for even a second."

The others were fine, able to pass the time watching the bustling city through the cameras. But Kobayashi Yuko, who was assigned the task of observing the situation around the Intelligence Department, was unlucky.

After watching for an hour, she could even count the number of leaves on the tree in front of her, but she didn't find anything unusual.

"How could there be anything unusual around this intelligence department? Even those evil spirits, after sensing the surging spiritual energy here and the department's own protective measures, wouldn't be foolish enough to come here and die, right?"

The intelligence department is responsible for detecting evil spirits in the entire Donghua City. Although its protection is not comprehensive, it is also not within the reach of those stupid and ignorant evil spirits.

"With the Intelligence Department as the center, the area within a 3,000-meter radius is covered with mechanical devices. The sky and the underground are all within the surveillance range. In fact, this place doesn't need any human supervision at all."

Although "no accidents" should be a good thing to be thankful for.

But the sight of not even a returning bird or a small squirrel really made Miss Yuko feel quite bored.

She looked up at the surveillance camera in the room. The camera was pointed at her location, recording her every action to prevent her from being lazy.

She monitors the surroundings and the cameras monitor her.

Another half hour passed.

Just when Yuko Kobayashi thought she would spend the night bored and then go home and lie in bed to waste another third of the day, a dark shadow on the surveillance screen caught her attention.

"Shadow? According to the direction of the moonlight, there shouldn't be any shadow in that area."

The shadow floated among the roots of a patch of weeds, with the bright moon above it. According to common sense, the unobstructed moonlight should have dispelled the shadow.

But it didn't.

The shadow lurked in the weeds, slowly crawling towards the only entrance to the Intelligence Department - the elevator in the warehouse, slowly and strangely.

"Is there something wrong with the surveillance?"

This conjecture was shattered into powder when the shadow crawled out of the weeds.

The other party is not a shadow at all.

It was a mass of black, sticky substance, like the slime in the game, with some faint blue spots of light in the darkness. It crawled with dense tentacles, and the surrounding weeds were contaminated by the black breath and withered instantly.

"Evil!"

Without any hesitation, Yuko Kobayashi immediately pressed a red hemispherical button on the table. The alarm information was instantly transmitted to the emergency team room in the Intelligence Department, with a sharp roar.

"There's actually an evil spirit that comes here to seek death!?"
