I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

……

Before arriving at the Baiju Tavern, Aicheng Hualian discovered that a "Closed" sign was hung on the door of the tavern. There was a circle of roadblocks and horizontal bars around the tavern to prevent pedestrians from approaching.

Several sturdy security guards in gray-blue uniforms were standing at the door of the tavern, staring at passers-by like door gods. Their ferocious expressions made the Baiju Tavern look like a gangster's lair.

"This is the controlled area of ​​our Lei Yu Company! Get out of here quickly!"

Seeing Aicheng Hualian walking towards the tavern, the security guards immediately raised their electric batons and shouted at her.

Lei Yu Company?

Aicheng Hualian had some impression of the name. It was a company specializing in providing private security services, and it was quite well-known. Furthermore, the company's owner had a close relationship with the Tianyi City Public Security Bureau Chief, and it was rumored that they were sworn brothers.

The Public Security Bureau Chief of Tianyi City...is one of the victims of these recent kidnapping cases.

The middle-aged man's son was kidnapped three days ago, and the kidnapper's whereabouts have not been found until now. This news spread on the evil-eliminating platform and is no longer a secret.

However, because the son of the Public Security Bureau chief usually behaved in a very bad way and bullied men and women frequently, many citizens of Tianyi City applauded this kidnapping case.

It now appears that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the Tianyi City Public Security Bureau Chief's son is from the same force as the guy who abducted Qing Zhulan.

"That makes sense. The Tianyi City Public Security Bureau Chief heard there were traces of kidnappers here, so he ordered Leiyu Company to send people to surround this place. I guess there are already several private investigators working in that tavern."

Taking out the professional badge issued by the evil-eliminating platform from his pocket, Aicheng Hualian placed the badge in front of the security guards, causing their faces to change.

"I'm really sorry. We didn't recognize you. I hope the investigator won't mind." The ferocious expression took a 180-degree turn. Several strong men bowed and apologized to Aicheng Hualian, bending over and making a gesture of invitation.

Their immediate superiors had instructed them that if they met other private investigators, they must let them pass.

"It's okay." A hoarse voice came from under the mask, making several security guards breathe a sigh of relief.

If they incurred the wrath of an investigator, ordinary people like them who were just trying to make a living would be in trouble.

……

"Here comes another one, a local guy."

"Ha, I hope the new idiot doesn't interrupt our work."

Inside the Baiju Tavern, three neatly dressed investigators glanced out the window and joked casually.

As professionals hired personally by the Tianyi City Public Security Bureau Chief, they do not like the local investigators from Donghua City.

In their eyes, the Donghua City investigators who had spent several days without making any progress were a bunch of idiots.

"We've collected almost all the psychic fluctuations in this tavern. We'll be able to analyze the psychic characteristics of the mastermind within three days."

"But these traces of psychic energy have disappeared behind this tavern. Perhaps it's because it's been so long."

"What a shame! If we had come here earlier, we wouldn't have to keep guessing about this little thing. I think the psychic energy that was originally floating around in this tavern has been disrupted by those local investigators!"

"Hey, what do you think that guy is doing?"

At this moment, one of the investigators looked at Aijo Karen with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's she doing in the back of the pub?"

Three surprised eyes stared at Aicheng Hualian as she stopped in front of the wall behind Baiju Tavern, unable to guess the meaning of her actions.

Then, she took out a silver spherical instrument from her pocket.

"Oh my god! Am I seeing this right? That's a Dingling? How could she have such a thing?"

One of the sharp-eyed investigators shouted.

"Ding Ling? That sphere that easily costs tens of millions? Oh my god."

"Is that guy a wealthy person? How dare he buy something this cheap on the black market?"

They were wrong. The spirit-fixing instrument in Aicheng Hualian's hand was something she had just bought for zero yuan.

He pointed at the wall and the teleportation array appeared.

"Fortunately, not much time has passed. There is still a lot of energy left in this teleportation spirit formation, enough for the spirit-fixing instrument to track it."

He pressed the ball in his hand into the center of the teleportation array. Strands of golden light as thin as steel needles were absorbed into the ball. At the same time, the entire teleportation array began to shrink gradually and became more and more transparent.

"Gada..."

A crack appeared on the top of the sphere, and a silver light shone out from it, pointing to the east.

"This light is about five centimeters long. In other words, the place reached by this teleportation array is about fifty kilometers away from here."

"As for the direction, it's thirteen degrees east by south."

Opening the map, Aicheng Hualian looked towards the location indicated by the silver light.

A town called Bangshan Town.

Chapter 69: The Call of the Evil God

A distance of fifty kilometers is not considered far in this era. It is even so close that Aicheng Hualian was a little surprised.

She had originally thought that the lunatic who had the audacity to kidnap the children of these wealthy and powerful people would be hiding cautiously in some deep mountain forest, but she had not expected that the other party would simply be hiding in a town.

"Should we say that guy is arrogant? Or does he have someone to rely on?"

Just as Aicheng Hualian was about to go home to make her next plan of action, a voice came from behind her.

"Investigator, please stay."

Aicheng Hualian turned around and looked at the three investigators who walked out of the tavern. Their clothing was very different from that of the citizens of Donghua City, and it was obvious that they were not locals.

The mask on her face made it impossible for the other party to guess her expression. She said in a deliberately low voice, "What's going on? If you want a tour guide to show you around Donghua City, I'm not a good choice."

"You're joking. The thing in your hand just now was a spirit-fixing instrument, right?" said the leading investigator with a flattering smile on his face, glancing at Aicheng Hualian's pocket where the spirit-fixing instrument was placed from time to time.

"So what?" Aicheng Hualian was not panicked and was not worried that his previous attack would be exposed by the other party.

As far as she knew, although this spirit-calming device was expensive, it wasn't out of stock on the black market. Even if she used it openly, others would think she bought it from the black market.

After all, who could have imagined that a psychic would dare to attack official forces? People are always used to thinking about problems based on their own knowledge, and Aicheng Hualian itself is not something these people can understand.

"So, what we want to ask is, have you learned the location of the murderer?"

"Yes, yes, I see that you are very decisive in your work. You must have gained something from it just now."

Well, it turns out you came here to ask for information.

"I did get the location of the kidnapper, but..." Aicheng Hualian smiled, "This is information I obtained using a spirit-fixing instrument. As you know, this spirit-fixing instrument is very expensive. I can't give you this information for free, right?"

"That... makes sense."

"So what you need is... money?" The three investigators looked at each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.

They had come out only to complete a commission and didn't have much money on them. If Aicheng Hualian asked for too much, it would be difficult to deal with.

"It's not money. Judging from the way you're dressed, you must be from Tianyi City. What I want is very simple. Just tell me the location of any evil gathering places you've encountered, or some terrifying forbidden places."

"How's that? Information in exchange for information, fair enough, right?"

Exchange information about evil gathering places and forbidden areas for the kidnappers' location?

It didn't seem impossible. Those places were what they avoided as much as possible, and they were of little use to them.

The four people exchanged information using the evil-removing platform and left contentedly without any conflict.

To be honest, as smart people who have seen Ai Cheng Hua Lian's "financial resources", it would be stupid for these three investigators to run up and threaten her or argue with her without knowing the consequences.

Being able to carry an instrument worth tens of millions of dollars with him, he is definitely not someone you can easily mess with.

"I never thought that a first-tier metropolis like Tianyi City would have so many evil gathering places. Wow, they are simply scattered all over the place."

Looking at the map sent to her by the three investigators, Aicheng Hualian was a little surprised.

Tianyi City, as a first-tier city with a population of over ten million, has five C-rank investigators stationed in its evil spirit response department, which is hundreds of times stronger than the evil spirit response department of Donghua City.

Even so, there are still a large number of evil gathering places crowded around Tianyi City, spreading on the ground like mold on bread.

"Most of those evil gathering places are of D or E rank. There are a few C rank gathering places, which are also under the surveillance of the evil response department. It is a bit troublesome to go there to forage for food."

Putting away the phone, she saw a three-meter-high tunnel in front of her, connecting to the underground evacuation passage of Donghua City.

Just as Aicheng Hualian walked into the corridor, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

"Gulu!"

His chest muscles began to twitch, as if a violent earthquake had occurred in the rock strata beneath the two mountain peaks, and the source of this earthquake was a slowly rotating black-blue vortex.

The vortex burst out with a powerful devouring force, rotating in Aicheng Hualian's chest like a drill, stirring the flesh and blood there into a blur, and forcibly dug out an inward-concave vortex of flesh and blood, causing Aicheng Hualian to gasp in pain.

Even five years ago, when the Mind Flayer's claw pierced his heart, the pain was not as severe as it is now.

"Oh my god...hiss!"

[Come in quickly…breeder…]

A call accompanied by a sharp pain rang in Aicheng Hualian's mind.

Before she could respond, a black light burst out from her chest, piercing through the space in front of her and forming a passage the size of a person.

Waves of loud noises like tsunamis came from the passage. Aicheng Hualian's heart skipped a beat and he immediately knew what had happened inside.

The war between space and evil gods has begun.

Faster than she expected.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Without any hesitation, Aicheng Hualian rushed into the darkness.

The darkness lasted only a few seconds before her vision was filled with a dazzling array of colors.

It was an extremely strong light, like a raging flame shot directly from the core of a star, forcing Aicheng Hualian to squint his eyes and look at the things below through a thin slit.

Behind her, the sky was ablaze. The entire sky was ablaze red, and pillars of fire fell from the sky, crashing into the ocean below, like a painting of hell painted by magma.

Before her lay a vast expanse of vibrant colour. Every mountain-like wave, every drop of sand-like seawater, seemed to contain countless stars, radiating a light bright enough to make a blind man cover his eyes.

Dazzling colors occupy every inch of space here, and blocks of red and rainbow fill the entire universe.

The light was so strong that it seemed to have turned into substance, squeezing Aicheng Hualian's body. Every time she inhaled, she seemed to swallow countless rays of light, burning her lungs.

And in the process of falling, Aicheng Hualian finally discovered a quiet and deep darkness in this purgatory.

The evil god's true form was right below her, like a black mountain, standing still amid the roar of the entire space.

Chapter 70: Performing Surgery on the Evil God

What kind of existence are the gods born from the subspace? This question has been debated in human society for many years, but there is still no conclusion.

Rather, humans, unable to enter the Warp, naturally have no right to delve into such grand questions. Without even understanding the true nature of evil, how could anyone possibly fathom the power of a god?

But people's consensus is very simple - since there is such a strange and powerful space-time as the subspace in this world, it must give birth to life forms far beyond human imagination. Calling them gods is not a disgrace to the word.

In addition, miracles recorded in religious texts or certain detailed eyewitness accounts can also provide evidence for the existence of gods.

At this point, Aicheng Hualian is undoubtedly lucky.

Five years of coexistence with the evil god allowed her to learn a lot of secret knowledge.

For example, in the subspace, all energy has its own "consciousness", and every bit of energy has the instinct to devour and grow.

These energies converge to form life in the subspace. The weaker ones become spirit beasts, selectively consuming only low-level energies. The stronger ones are known as evil spirits, capable of autonomously stealing the energy of other creatures to fill their stomachs. And those who stand at the top of this food chain are the so-called gods.

They shine like stars, their lifespans seem eternal. Their starting line is already a finish line unreachable by other beings. From the moment the gods were born, immense power tore open a space around these beings, transforming the surrounding spacetime into their own companion dimension.

Like those creatures composed of subspace energy, the gods' companion dimensions also possessed their own consciousness. However, these consciousnesses were mostly ignorant, obeying their gods' orders blindly, acting like pets or weapons, providing safe havens isolated from everything else.

At least, that's the case for ordinary gods.

But the evil god is not like that at all.

Strangling everything, corroding space, being the opposite of all life, the end of all things, this is the evil god.

The evil god's companion space has never been his right-hand man, but a calamity that will lead to death if one cannot cross it.

"boom!!"

"Is this the riot in space?"

Aicheng Hualian fell, the repulsions from space surging towards her from all directions, trying to push her out of this space. The roar of the entire ocean was like thunder, almost deafening her ears.

The evil god's body gradually expanded in her field of vision, and the distance between her and him gradually shortened.
