I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

"Here, come out."

After freeing himself from the evil god's restraints, Aicheng Hualian half-lay on the chair with his eyes closed.

"By the way, please go slower this time, okay?" she reminded.

…Gurgle!

With a slight sound, a dark blue gelatinous substance began to flow out of Aicheng Hualian's chest and abdomen.

The gelatinous substance climbed up her skin, flowed out from the collar on her chest and the hem of her abdomen, and gathered on the ground in front of her.

As more and more jelly-like substances came out, Aicheng Hualian felt a sense of exhaustion as if his internal organs were being forcibly drained, causing him to frown and tense his limbs.

"Ah... slow down... why are you in such a hurry..."

She sighed helplessly. Every time the other party came out of her body, he was so impatient and didn't consider the feelings of her as the feeder at all.

A few minutes later, a wriggling mass of black-blue gel appeared in front of Aicheng Hualian, with a tentacle connecting the mass of gel to Aicheng Hualian's chest.

…Gurgle…

There was another sound, and the jelly-like substance transformed by the evil god began to wriggle violently, changing its shape and approaching the human form.

Some of the gelatinous substance formed ink-black hair, while others turned white and solidified into snow-white skin, followed by flesh, blood and bones filling in the inside. A pair of eyes as deep as the abyss embellished the delicate face with meticulous care, completing the final step of the transformation.

In just a few seconds, a girl who looked no more than fifteen years old appeared in the house, quietly looking at Aicheng Hualian who was slumped in the chair.

With half-opened eyes, Aicheng Hualian suppressed the feeling of exhaustion and said, "I'm finally out. I'm so tired."

She looked at the girl in front of her, and compared her appearance with that of five years ago, she felt a little emotional.

The other person looked like a little girl of six years old at the beginning, but now she has become a graceful young lady, almost as tall as her.

As expected of an evil god, he grows faster than humans. I believe that in a few years, his appearance will be more mature than that of his breeder.

Of course, the girl's appearance was merely the other's outward appearance. As its owner, Aijo Karen knew that the other's true form was still that indescribable mass, dwelling within her heart. And the reason the other, the evil god, had appeared as a girl was out of consideration for her.

Even as a feeder of an evil god, staring at its true form for an extended period would cause immense damage to one's spirit and will. In the past, Ai Cheng Hua Lian only looked at the true form of the other for five minutes, and ended up in a coma for two whole days, nearly driving him mad with starvation.

From then on, for the sake of its own stomach, the evil god larva would appear in the form of a young girl to prevent its owner from fainting again.

"..."

The black-haired girl looked at the breeder in front of her, as if she was deep in thought.

Aicheng Hualian couldn't help but jokingly said, "What happened today? Before, after you came out of my body, you always jumped out and wandered around like a wild cat, and I couldn't call you back."

"You... are not my mother." The evil girl said, making Aicheng Hualian laugh and cry.

"You stayed here for half a day just to say this?"

Before, she was just talking nonsense out of anxiety, hoping to use her identity as the evil god's breeder to make the other party stop his actions, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so brooding about it.

Of course she knew that she was not the evil god's mother, but just a breeder. After all, how could the evil god have a mother?

"You are not my mother." The evil girl repeated, her expression unchanged, as cold as frost.

"Okay, I'm not your mother. Go shopping now, because you'll need to return to my body later."

“…I don’t want to go shopping…” The evil girl shook her head and said shockingly, “…I want to protect you…You are my future mother…”

"what?"

Chapter 5 Private Investigator Chi Yan

"Hey, what's this about being a future mother?" Aicheng Hualian asked, "I don't plan on being the mother of an evil god."

Are you kidding? Secretly raising an evil god is already a heinous crime in the eyes of others, and adopting an evil god as a daughter is even more lawless. If this news leaks out, not only will human society not tolerate her, but even the evil spirits in the subspace will not let her go.

After all, if a human claimed to be the mother of an evil god, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of all evil spirits?

Unfortunately, in response to her question, the evil girl just turned her back to her, walked to the open refrigerator, took out all kinds of strange-looking food from it, and stuffed them into her mouth.

The food in the refrigerator is all organs and flesh taken from the bodies of various evil spirits. They are snacks prepared by Aicheng Hualian to feed evil gods. They are the kind that can contaminate an entire block in an instant if taken out.

"Hey, you guy." Aicheng Hualian looked at the girl who was eating heartily in front of the refrigerator, with a helpless look on his face.

Yes, how could she, who was just a breeder, command a god?

"I'm just reminding you that the contract we signed originally stated that we were equals. I don't want another daughter of the evil god. Even if you beg me, I won't agree."

[Ding Dong, the Exorcist platform has been opened for you. Please log in to your personal account.]

Just then, the computer made a sound, drawing Aicheng Hualian's attention to the screen.

She restrained her expression and typed a few lines of password on the keyboard. A short and melodious ringtone announced that Aicheng Hualian had successfully logged in.

Welcome, Private Investigator Chi Yan. According to the system database, since joining the platform, you have completed 76 G-rank commissions and 13 F-rank commissions. Therefore, you are awarded the titles of "Model Worker" and "Rising Star."

Click on the APP and a simple forum interface will appear, where you can see several pages such as [Task Release], [Investigator Exchange Group], and [News from Various Places].

In this world, evil threatens everyone's safety. Government-backed anti-evil departments are limited in staff and unable to address every issue. Consequently, various unofficial "private investigators" have emerged, earning a living by eliminating evil for others. Even various mission information exchange platforms have developed.

【Exorcism】is the largest communication platform among them.

Aicheng Hualian joined this platform a year ago for a simple reason: she needed to capture evil spirits to feed the evil spirit in her body.

In the first four years after signing the contract with the evil god, she could barely fill his stomach by hunting some wild evil spirits at night as food for him.

But a year ago, that approach no longer worked.

As the evil god grew, his appetite became bigger and bigger. Relying on her own jungling could no longer satisfy him. If she continued like this, her body would be digested by the evil god. In the contract, if she could not meet the requirements of feeding the evil god, Aicheng Hualian would be severely punished and be "eaten" by the evil god.

So she decided to become a private investigator and obtain a stable source of food by taking on missions to eliminate evil spirits.

She joined the platform called [Exorcism] and after successfully completing several commissions, she officially became a private evil investigator on the Exorcism platform.

As for the name Chi Yan, it was given to her by the platform based on user reviews.

To conceal her true identity, Aicheng Hualian donned a crimson mask and a hooded black-red robe when carrying out missions. After each mission, the client was surprised to find that the disturbing evil spirits had completely vanished, leaving no trace behind, as if completely obliterated.

"Miss Chi Yan asks for very little compensation, sometimes even for free. However, her demands are also very strange. She is only willing to eliminate those evil spirits that are large in size." (Five-star praise)

"This investigator does a clean and efficient job, but after he leaves, there's a strange black-blue gel on the ground, writhing like a snake. Perhaps it's evil blood." (Five-star review)

"After clearing out the evil spirits, investigators would have to wait for days to clean up the bodies left behind. But this investigator, with just one stroke, the evil spirits vanished like air, leaving not even a fingernail behind. He's truly a true evil spirit scavenger." (Five-star review)

"Strange, I once saw this investigator spit out some tentacle-like things from his mouth..." (This comment has been deleted and can only be seen by the investigator himself)

(The user has not made any comments, the system defaults to a five-star rating)

There are many comments like this. During this year, Aicheng Hualian's fame has grown. Many platform users who are troubled by evil spirits have found her through the task publishing function of the evil spirit elimination platform.

However, to ensure hunting efficiency, Aicheng Hualian only accepted commissions involving large-scale demons. If she were asked to eliminate a demon the size of a hamster, she would probably be busy all day and still not be able to prepare a snack for the demon god.

In addition, Aicheng Hualian also wants to use this platform to obtain information about the "Mind Flayer" that slaughtered the entire orphanage five years ago.

She always remembered the names of the forty-seven fellow orphanage members. The three teachers had raised her, but now not even a single intact body was left.

In her heart, the goal of revenge has never been blurred, and it has become more and more vivid in her memory.

Unfortunately, five years had passed and she had barely gained any information about the evil mind flayer.

In the commissioned tasks on the platform, the targets are mostly guys who are causing trouble everywhere in order to absorb the negative emotions of humans. There are very few evil spirits that actually kill humans.

He opened the private mailbox and threw some extremely low-cost commissions and some inexplicable confession letters into the trash can. Aicheng Hualian looked at the only three remaining commissions.

[Commission 1, from Qingxian District, Donghua City: Investigator, please help our Wang Yue family. That evil mole-like creature is almost completely gutting our backyard.]

[Response: Sorry, your question is more suitable for other investigators. I would like to recommend Mr. Lin, a private investigator known as "Rat Hunter"]

[Commission 2, from Qianxin District, Tianya City: Urgent help! A demon has appeared in our milk tea shop and is constantly stealing our saccharin. We're almost bankrupt. Oh, and that demon is like a bear, very fat.]

[Response: Please try playing the sound of bees buzzing in the store to scare them away.]

[Commission 3, from Yueshanling: This message will be automatically deleted within minutes after being opened. Dear Investigator, my child is missing. According to relevant research, there is a so-called evil spirit at work. Please help us. (Mass Message)]

"That's kind of interesting."

Yueshan Ridge, located on the outskirts of Donghua City, is sparsely populated. It's unlikely the client lives deep in the mountains; that simply means they don't want her to know their address. Coupled with the child's disappearance and the numerous mass emails from private investigators, Aicheng Hualian's interest was piqued.

[Reply: Hello, I'm interested in learning more about this commission. Please also send me the meeting address.]

Chapter 6: Being alive is lucky

At the same time that Aishiro Karen was sending her reply, in the apartment across from her residence, Tsuzaki Mahiru was sitting in front of her computer, typing a letter on the keyboard.

Tsuzaki Mahiru, a demon investigator, codenamed [Ji Xin], is of D rank. With two years of work experience, he has solved more than two hundred demon cases and is a shining star in the demon response department of Donghua City.

Despite being surrounded by so many halos and being highly expected by the top management, she now looks pale and her hands are shaking slightly as she types on the keyboard.

The first thing she did when she got home was to send a report on today's evil attack to the department, focusing on describing the black humanoid monster she had seen.

But the more she wrote the letter, the more she felt something was wrong.

Based on the work experience of the past two years, although the so-called evil spirits look hideous and commit evil everywhere, the casualties they cause are very few.

Of all the cases she'd handled, only three involved the demons directly injuring people. Like the case of Aicheng Hualian, where the demons had wiped out an entire orphanage, it was a horrific tragedy that was rarely seen.

As for the brutal killings among the evil spirits, Tsuzaki Mahiru had never seen it before.

Of course, that is until today.

What she saw and heard today was enough to make a significant mark in her career.

Just as wolves prey on lambs and tigers on sika deer, humans, long trapped by evil spirits, are precisely the prey of evil spirits. However, they crave illusory things like emotions, not humans themselves.

The evil spirits that prey on human emotions are already so troublesome, so what kind of existence are the monsters that take evil spirits as prey?

Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat immediately slid down Tsuzaki Mahiru's forehead, and the movement of typing the letter couldn't help but speed up.

"By the way, we also need to send a notice to the other investigator, asking her to return from out of town as soon as possible."

There are three investigators in Donghua City, two D-rank investigators responsible for city security, and one C-rank investigator stationed in the city center.

The other investigator she mentioned is a D-rank investigator who extracts psychic energy from the human quality of pursuing dreams. Her codename is [Dream Chaser], Junna Hoshimi.

……

The reply sent by Aicheng Hualian was quickly responded to.

Dear Investigator Chi Yan, I'm very pleased to have your attention. Please come to the Tea House Tavern in Qingping County, Donghua City for a detailed discussion. The time is set for 9:30 this evening, so please be sure to arrive on time.

Qingping County, Donghua City, is a town some distance away from the city center. It is sparsely populated with a permanent population of no more than 10,000.

"This client is quite interesting. First, the letter was sent from a remote address, and now the meeting place is also far away from the city. Does he have some shameful secret, or does he want to hide his identity?"

"Of course, I don't care about these things."

Looking back, he saw that the refrigerator filled with evil flesh and blood had been completely cleared out by the girl. She was lying on the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside silently.

"You eat very quickly."

Aicheng Hualian looked at the empty refrigerator and shook her head helplessly.

The "evil snacks" she had previously placed there were the culmination of her accumulation over the past six months. Every piece of flesh and blood contained the essence of an F-rank evil spirit, yet it was devoured in just ten minutes.

The other party's appetite is getting bigger and bigger...

Looking at the girl's back, Aicheng Hualian suddenly realized that if compared to the human growth cycle, the evil god she raised seemed to have gotten rid of its "infancy" and entered the "adolescence" where it urgently needed energy to grow its body.

No wonder the other party has been so restless lately, conveying to her a constant feeling of hunger, but she rebukes this feeling as a burden.

I'm sorry, as a breeder, I seem to be a little impatient and not careful enough.

She secretly apologized in her heart. The five years of breeding experience had made Aicheng Hualian more caring and responsible for the evil god in her body.

To put it bluntly, even if she had only raised a cat, five years would have been enough for her to establish a family-like friendship with it, not to mention that it was an evil god with self-awareness who gave her a new life?

Besides, she signed a contract with the other party and became a breeder, so she still needs to have the most basic professional spirit.

Walking up to the other person, she asked, "Are you still hungry?"

The black-haired girl's ears twitched slightly, and she nodded slightly, the street scene in front of her swallowed up by her dark blue eyes.

"Please be patient. I've already received my next commission. I have a feeling this one will be a large one, one that will satisfy your hunger."

Hearing this, the evil girl turned around, reached out and touched Aicheng Hualian's chest, sending a thought into her mind.

"I don't need your concern. You should worry about yourself. If I remain hungry for too long, according to the contract, you will die."

Aicheng Hualian's expression froze and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the other person.

"Hey, you guy, I'm considering your physical development. Why are you so cold?"
