I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

For over ten miles, they worshipped this vengeful spirit puppet as their god, that evil spirit their only hope for revenge. Now, a stranger told them that this vengeful spirit puppet was only fit to be a pet and a subordinate. How could these villagers, who had already etched the words "reverence for the Holy Spirit" into their hearts, understand this?

Compared to the stranger Aicheng Hualian, the vengeful ghost puppet in the air who is fighting with Inspector Hualiu is more worthy of their trust.

This conflict of ideas even caused the villagers to waver in their belief in the mayor's authority.

Mayor, is it because you are too old that you made a mistake in judgment?

The crowd was a little agitated. A few villagers' eyes flashed with purple light. As if they had been prepared, they stood up together and attacked Aicheng Hualian and the mayor Lin Yu.

"This stranger has been in league with the enemy who fought against the Holy Spirit from the very beginning. She definitely harbors evil intentions! Mayor, please don't be fooled by her appearance!"

"Yes, have you forgotten how we treated those who dared to disrespect the Holy Spirit before? Why are you talking about so-called cooperation with this person? Can it be that more than a decade of worship is not worth a few words from this outsider?"

"Mayor!"

While the villagers were getting excited, Aicheng Hualian was chatting with the evil god in his inner world.

"See? I've always told you that even though I'm your feeder, I'm still a human. Since I'm human, it's best if my hands aren't stained with the blood of my compatriots."

"But there are exceptions to everything. Look at the villagers who stood up and caused trouble. They are the exceptions. Their brains are broken."

Aicheng Hualian's eyes were covered with a layer of blue like the abyss of the sea, and she looked at the villagers who stood up to cause trouble.

For a moment, the villagers felt as if they were thrown under an iceberg in the polar region. A bone-chilling air climbed up from their feet, making their chattering mouths so cold that they dared not utter a word.

From Aicheng Hualian's perspective, she could clearly see that there was some black and purple aura entwined on the cerebral cortex of these villagers. Those auras were like clouds and mist enveloping their brains, affecting their words and deeds.

Some villagers' brains were even missing nearly half of their tissue, replaced by a mass of purple gel that stuck to the brain and squirmed like jelly.

It was obvious that it was the evil follower of the Chongling Cult who used his own methods to control the will of these villagers and made them his puppets.

"A person who is being manipulated like this, a pathetic creature who is beyond help, and who is standing in front of me blocking my way."

The expression under the mask sank, and a rare indifference appeared on Aicheng Hualian's face.

"Do whatever you want with it."

【knew】

hum…

Aicheng Hualian stood in place, and circles of deep blue waves began to appear on his body.

These fluctuations were so gentle that they made no sound, like harmless circles of light, spreading out more softly than the morning mist, enveloping the villagers.

"What are you doing!"

"Damn it! This guy is weird, everyone, come on!"

The villagers who stood up to cause trouble shouted loudly, but no one dared to take the lead.

Just three blue light waves swept by, and a great fear gripped the hearts of all the villagers, which was thousands of times more serious than when they faced the gaze of the "Holy Spirit" alone. It was like an abyss with no end was rushing towards them, locking them in a prison that would never see the light of day.

The intense feeling of weightlessness and loneliness turned into chains that pierced into everyone's heart, causing thousands of villagers to lose their fighting spirit in an instant. Even Inspector Hua Liu and the vengeful ghost puppet, who were thousands of meters away, were affected and cast surprised and suspicious glances in their direction.

In fact, dozens of villagers knelt down in front of Aicheng Hualian, trembling, with tears streaming down their faces and mumbling various words of begging for mercy.

This was the first time that Aicheng Hualian revealed the aura of the evil god in her body in public. Although it was just a trace, she didn't expect the effect to be so significant.

"Miss, who are you?!"

The person who spoke was the town mayor Lin Yu.

This old man, who had thought everything was under control from the beginning, could not hide the horror in his sophisticated face. The wrinkles on his face trembled and squeezed together, as if screaming that he wanted to stay away from Aicheng Hualian.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the day when he first met the Holy Envoy of the Chongling Religion. The familiar feeling of powerlessness made him involuntarily take a step back.

It's bad, I feel like I'm trying to get something from a tiger.

Chapter 91: Become a Guardian Spirit

The blue light circle expanded three times, freezing the bodies of the villagers and making them dare not move.

These apertures were the means by which Aicheng Hualian controlled the creatures while hunting them. At this moment, dealing with these humans infected by the evil spirits was incredibly simple.

She looked around. Thirteen of the villagers had their minds controlled. All of them were cursed, and purple smoke swirled around their heads, entangling their brains. Of all the villagers huddled trembling on the ground, they were the last thirteen, besides Mayor Lin Yu, still standing.

Their actions and behaviors are manipulated by others without their awareness, just like puppets, yet they think they are very independent and stand up to argue for the Holy Spirit they worship.

At this moment, in the slightly spreading aura of the evil god from Aicheng Hualian, they trembled and walked towards Aicheng Hualian, as if wanting to surround her and launch an attack.

"Poor fellows, let you be free."

The dark blue evil energy gathered in her hands and turned into sharp blades. Aicheng Hualian walked forward and stabbed the blades into the chests of the villagers whose brains were controlled as she passed by.

If you look closely, you will see dense black tentacles inside the blade. When the blade pierces the villagers' chests, these tentacles devour the villagers' flesh and blood and send them into the body of the evil god.

"You really don't miss any opportunity to eat."

The thirteen villagers who were pierced by the blade felt their bodies suddenly become empty and light. Their consciousness was pulled out along with their internal organs in an instant. Death descended upon them in silence, strangling their last wails.

Aicheng Hualian deliberately left their heads behind. When the thirteen bodies fell to the ground, the curse in their brains turned into a dark purple liquid, which flowed out of their mouths and noses uncontrollably, emitting a foul odor.

Not to mention doctors who have some understanding of physiological structure, even other people can realize that there is something wrong with their brains.

After dealing with the thirteen controlled people, Aicheng Hualian returned to the mayor Lin Yu and slowly restrained his own evil energy fluctuations.

Retracting the two fel blades in her hands, she looked at the other person's calm expression and couldn't help but ask, "You don't look sad about these people's deaths. Did you expect this?"

"It's not a prediction, just a guess." Lin Yu sighed. He had been secretly observing the actions of the thirteen villagers killed by Aicheng Hualian, and he suspected that their consciousness had been replaced. These people always pretended to obey him, the mayor, but their respect was only superficial.

"The little episode is over, it's time to get down to business."

……

Two hundred meters in the air, cherry pink and dark purple intertwined, thunder flashed, and strong winds howled.

Putting the mask on her face tightly, Hua Liu Xiangzi looked at the vengeful ghost puppet with only half of its body left, and breathed slightly.

She had intermediate D-level psychic power, and although she suppressed her output power to advanced E-level, it took her nearly an hour to deal with the vengeful ghost puppet in front of her.

"This guy is really weird, huh? You're finally here."

A black figure passed through the mushroom cloud and came in front of Inspector Hualiu. It was Aicheng Hualian who had reached a deal with the mayor.

"You've been chatting with the villagers down there for so long, and you didn't even bother coming over to help!" Inspector Hua Liu complained to Ai Cheng Hua Lian, hands on her hips, a little angrily. "When you become a forest ranger, this procrastination habit will get you killed."

"I'm not here to kill it."

After briefly informing Inspector Hanayu of the results of the negotiations with the mayor, shouts of surprise were heard.

"What are you saying? This evil spirit in front of us is connected to the lives of those villagers? And you want to tell them how to control it? That's too condescending!" She frowned and said unhappily, "I've fought this evil spirit for so long in vain."

"Why, does Inspector Hanayu have any other suggestions?"

"Of course. Ask me, why bother? Just tie up that so-called mayor and torture him until he tells you everything he knows. As for the other villagers, since they're all connected to this evil creature, why not just kill them all?"

The other party decided the lives of thousands of humans with just a few words, as if human life was just an insignificant thing to her.

"I say, how can you be more cruel than the evil spirit? The evil spirit even knows to keep these villagers captive as food."

"I would like to ask you, why do you leave these humans who have been corrupted by evil spirits alone, and instead teach them how to control the evil spirits? Let them use the power of the evil spirits to take revenge on the corporate forces? Are you on the side of humans or the side of the evil spirits?" Investigator Hua Liu said righteously, as if what Aicheng Hualian was about to do was an unforgivable crime.

But Aicheng Hualian simply asked, "Then I want to ask, who forced these villagers to turn to the evil spirit? Who is the root cause of all this?"

"..."

Hua Liu Xiangzi fell into a brief silence, then continued, "Even if these villagers' actions are excusable, colluding with evil spirits is an unforgivable crime! Eliminating them is the most time-saving and labor-saving method."

"I beg to differ. You're taking a shortcut rather than trying to resolve the evil."

Without wasting any more time talking to Inspector Hualiu, Aicheng Hualian flew to the half-dead ghost puppet. She watched as the ghost puppet continuously absorbed the vitality of the villagers to restore its body.

"Roar!"

Sensing the arrival of Aicheng Hualian, the ghost puppet raised its head and roared at her with its head covered with dozens of skins. The sharp whistle blew the girl's short orange hair.

Cheng Hualian stretched out her hand, and a small blue ball of light condensed from the tip of her index finger, pressing it towards the forehead of the vengeful ghost puppet in front of her.

"From now on, you will be the guardian spirit of these villagers."

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the vengeful ghost puppet, and it opened its mouth to bite Aicheng Hualian.

Its subconscious told it that if it was hit by this small ball of light, it would be reduced to a prisoner from then on. Those lowly humans, its worshippers, would become its masters, something it could never accept.

【court death】

Three black circles of light trapped the vengeful ghost puppet in an instant, strangling its body until it was bleeding and let out screams again and again.

"Pfft~"

Aicheng Hualian sent the blue ball of light into the head of the ghost puppet. Its body suddenly stiffened, and the aura of its body fluctuated rapidly, and finally maintained a stable state. The evil energy floating around the ghost puppet slowly disappeared, and the entire bloated body began to transform into a human form.

After a few seconds, the vengeful ghost puppet turned into a pitch-black human figure. It had no facial features and its body looked like a puppet made of several black sacks.

It looks much better than before.

Chapter 92: The Escape Ends

Looking at the vengeful ghost puppet with its head lowered in front of him, Mayor Lin Yu praised it and readily told Aicheng Hualian the information and name of the Chongling Sect kidnappers.

The other person's name is Hengtian Xiu. He came to this village several years ago and told them how to support evil spirits. He lived under the collapsed mine and did not allow anyone to enter.

A few days ago, Hengtian Xiu drove a large truck with an unhappy look on his face. After instructing the villagers here not to reveal the information of his departure, he drove away to the west.

Now, with the help of Aicheng Hualian, this vengeful ghost puppet with a changed appearance has become the guardian spirit of this village, which is much better than its previous state as an object of worship and domineering.

From now on, this vengeful spirit puppet was no longer a "god" that could take whatever the villagers wanted, but a loyal guard. It was easy to do all this; Aicheng Hualian simply used the power of the evil god to make the evil spirit lie on the ground, unable to move, and obediently obey her orders.

Under the threat of the evil god, let alone becoming the guardian spirit of this village, it would not dare to disobey even if the evil spirit asked it to dismember itself.

Of course, if this vengeful ghost puppet is really stubborn and refuses to follow Aicheng Hualian's arrangements, then she naturally has other means.

After all, by utilizing the aura of the evil god, she can do many things beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After the incident was over, a small incident occurred.

"I misjudged you," Inspector Hua Liu said. She no longer wanted to continue with Ai Cheng Hua Lian on this unimportant commission. "A Hua Liu family ranger would never show mercy to evil spirits. And yet you let this vengeful spirit go."

"You may be right. But believe me, my hatred for evil far exceeds yours," Aicheng Hualian replied, without a trace of falsehood. "But compared to my hatred for evil, I'm better at finding a solution that's a win-win for both parties."

Mutual benefit and win-win are necessary qualities for survival. People who are blinded by hatred will be like these villagers, who are complacent even after being cheated.

Fortunately, on the day the evil spirit pierced her heart, Aicheng Hualian's greatest desire was to survive, and her psychic powers were based on this. If she had awakened hatred, she would have died tragically by now.

"Perhaps what you're looking for, Inspector Hua Liu, is an excellent thug who follows orders without hesitation. Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of person, and I never will be."

The two parted ways, and Aicheng Hualian set out on the road.

……

On Federal Highway 912 connecting Bangshan Town and Haijin City, a heavy truck was driving at a speed that was inconsistent with its weight.

The heavy wheels left two black marks on the road, clearly exceeding the road's load-bearing capacity. The driver sat listlessly, yawning. If you looked closely, you could detect a faint glint of purple light in his eyes.

Lying in the back seat of the truck's cab was a middle-aged man. He wore a black eye patch over one eye, apparently blind. His legs were draped over the seat, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, his left hand gripping the top of a rope.

As for the back seat of the truck, in addition to the goods placed outside to conceal their presence, there were five young men and women who were tied up.

They looked tired, and their simple clothes were in disarray, as if they had been dug out of a garbage dump. They were tied with nylon ropes as thick as thumbs. The ropes emitted purple light from time to time and gathered in the man's left hand. From time to time, some things were extracted from their bodies and sucked into the man's body.

Feeling the energy constantly filling up his body, a smile appeared on Hengtian Osamu's lips.

The arrogance of these rich young men and second-generation officials is indeed abundant and of high quality. As long as he is given a little more time, he will be able to appease the evil spirits in his body and let them become one with himself.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

In that mountain town, the thirteen subordinates he had buried died suddenly at the same time.

Hengtian Shu immediately realized that something had happened in Bangshan Town. The base where he had been hiding for two years had finally been discovered by the investigators.

He originally thought that the E-rank high-level ghost puppets ambushed in the village and the thirteen subordinates could delay him for a while, but he found that the connection between these things and him was severed within just two hours. He immediately urged the driver in the driving seat to increase the speed of the truck to the fastest, regardless of the twelve tires that were emitting white smoke due to the high heat.

Along the way, Hengtian Xiu, who did not have a pass, used his own spiritual skills and evil power to force his way through three checkpoints, leaving those unlucky checkpoint personnel lying on the ground with blood on their faces.

As for the official pursuit that this brutal approach might bring, Hengtian Osamu didn't care at all. As long as he could reach the Chongling Sect's stronghold, even the dragnet wouldn't be able to catch him.

Along the way, regardless of the risk of overdrawing his vitality, he placed dozens of low-level F-level evil spirit traps on the highway. As long as someone passed by there, regardless of whether the other party was a psychic or not, the evil spirit trap would be triggered, detonating the evil spirits lurking in it, thus delaying the person.

There would be no vehicles following him on this road for the next hour.

But it’s hard to say for sure.

"Why did you stop so suddenly? Didn't I tell you to rush towards whatever you encounter?"
