I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

The thing continued to expand in her consciousness, and waves of incomprehensible words and extremely confused syllables filled her mind.

"No! Don't do this! Save me...ah!" She hugged her head and screamed in pain.

"Oh." Aicheng Hualian sighed.

Another guy who was reckless and tried to explore the source of her power.

She walked forward and stood in front of Mie Eriko.

"Don't look, don't listen, don't think!"

She said seriously.

By channeling her own psychic energy into the voice, Aijo Karen made these three words rush into Mie Eriko's mind.

"Otherwise, you will die."

Chapter 9: Aicheng Hualian's Treatment

As the breeder of the evil god, Aicheng Hualian can clearly detect those who try to spy on the evil god's existence.

The peepers all met a miserable end. They either became insane or bled to death on the spot. It was a horrible sight.

This was not something Aicheng Hualian did intentionally, but they themselves were affected by the evil god's aura and their minds were affected, which took their lives.

Not to mention them, even she, as a feeder, couldn't look directly at the evil god's true form for long. To the point that when communicating with her, the feeder, the evil god had to transform into a young girl to prevent his presence from knocking her unconscious.

Looking at Eriko Mie groaning in pain in front of her, Karen Aishiro couldn't help but sigh inwardly at her good luck.

Just now, when the other party was spying on the evil god in her body, the evil god was digesting food and was in a dormant period.

If the other party happened to encounter the evil god's active period, then she would not have to do anything now and could just call the crematorium for Eriko.

"Don't look, don't listen, don't think!"

Aijo Karen repeated this sentence, guiding Eriko's thoughts.

Don't look at the evil god's appearance, don't listen to those chaotic syllables, don't think about anything related to the evil god. This is the only way to break free from the evil god's influence, and it is also the unique secret technique that Aicheng Hualian has figured out after several comas.

Only by driving all concepts related to the evil god out of your mind and forgetting all memories can you avoid the tragedy of sudden death.

"I... will try my best!" Covering her head with both hands, Eriko felt as if her brain and eyes were pierced by countless hot iron rods. The pain made her want to bang her head against the ground and die.

Wu Sunyun, who was standing by, could no longer sit still. He stood up and asked, "Investigator Chi Yan, what on earth is going on with Eriko?!"

"Who knows? Maybe she's suffering from a hidden illness, or perhaps she has a hidden wound left by an evil spirit..." Aicheng Hualian said nonsense. "I've encountered this kind of situation before, so I have some experience in dealing with it."

"This..." Wu Sunyun looked suspicious, his eyes flickering, staring at Aicheng Hualian's figure.

This Investigator Chi Yan, covered from head to toe by clothes, must have some hidden secrets...

"I'll help too." On the other side of the room, Duanmuxue stood up, pulled out a white brush from her sleeve that looked like it was carved from jade, and wrote the word "yu" in the air.

This brush is Duanmu Xue's spiritual weapon, named Xuanling Pen.

As a [Psychic Painter], she can use the Rendering Brush in her hand to draw various pictures and words, and each word and picture has a unique effect.

Although it is not as good as the magic pen in fairy tales, it is also a miracle for ordinary people.

But when he saw this scene, Aicheng Hualian's expression changed slightly.

Before she could speak to stop it, the Chinese character "Yu" floated towards Eriko's body, intending to heal her. But the moment it touched her body, a flash of black light passed by, and the Chinese character, condensed with Duanmu Xue's spiritual energy, instantly shattered. The hairs on the brush in Duanmu Xue's hand fell off one by one, leaving most of it bald.

"My pen!" She was shocked and looked at the brush in her hand, her heart aching so much that it almost bled.

Aicheng Hualian was even more speechless. If the influence of the evil god was so easy to resolve, then she wouldn't need to use all her spiritual energy to resist the damage caused by the evil god.

At this point, she can only use her own spiritual power to treat the patient.

This was not because she was a good person, but because she wanted to see if her spiritual power could have any effect on the unfortunate people who were being harmed by the evil god's aura.

Then, a brilliant crimson spiritual energy floated out from her fingertips and split into two in mid-air. One flew into Eriko's ears and nostrils, while the other wrapped around the tip of Duan Muxue's Rendering Brush.

"This kind of psychic energy..." Wu Sunyun, standing aside, looked at the red-glowing psychic threads and thought to himself, "It's just like the official investigators, with strong emotional fluctuations."

"And its healing ability is also very strong..." Duan Muxue looked at the brush in her hand. At the half-bald tip of the brush, new snow-white hairs sprouted out like bamboo shoots after rain. "These spiritual energies themselves seem to have extremely strong vitality."

On the other side, the trembling of Eriko Mie's body was gradually decreasing.

When Aicheng Hualian's spiritual energy floated into her mind, the black four-pointed star in her consciousness stopped expanding, and the other party moved in another direction like a tiger smelling fresh meat.

Aijo Karen's treatment plan is simple: she uses her psychic powers as bait to draw the evil spirit out of Eriko's mind.

During these five years, the evil god devoured her spiritual energy every moment, so that her spiritual energy became the evil god's most eaten food, and its attraction to the evil god was no less than those fat evil spirits.

Attracted by her psychic power, the evil god's aura began to drift away from Eriko's mind, and took away all the memories of the evil god in her consciousness, leaving no trace.

Crimson spiritual energy once again floated out of Eriko's ears and nostrils, followed by a sticky black-blue jelly.

The jelly-like substance chased Aijo Karen's psychic energy and rushed out of Eriko's head. It lost its support and fell to the ground, twisting a few times before disappearing.

"What are these?" Duanmuxue asked curiously.

"These are the remnants of evil within Miss Eriko's body," Aijo Karen lied calmly. "I used my psychic powers to draw these remnants out of her body."

"Ahem... I... I'm still alive."

After coughing a few times, Eriko took off the eye mask, opened her bloodshot gray eyes, and looked around in shock.

Because all her memories of the evil god were taken away, she now completely forgot what happened before.

She only knew that it was Aicheng Hualian who helped her and brought out the remaining evil spirits in her body.

As for why there were so-called "evil remnants" in her mind, she had no intention of digging into the matter.

As a private investigator, she has more than ten years of work experience and has completed more than a thousand commissioned tasks. Maybe she was tricked during one of these missions.

"Um...thank you, Inspector Chi Yan." She stood up unsteadily and bent down to thank Ai Cheng Hua Lian. "Your abilities are truly remarkable. No wonder you're such a rising star recently."

Recalling her earlier attempt to explore the source of Aicheng Hualian's power, she couldn't help but feel a wave of shame. This sudden eruption of evil remnants might be a punishment for her little thought.

The four of them sat back in their seats, and the atmosphere had eased a lot because of the previous episode.

"Gada."

At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and a man in a suit walked in. He was carrying a briefcase in his left hand and wearing a pair of silver gloves in his right. He looked ordinary, with only a pair of thick eyebrows as his distinguishing feature.

The man glanced at the four investigators in the room, his gaze lingering on the two bloodstains on Eriko's face. He then said, "Thank you all for arriving on time. As Ms. Lin's agent, I will inform you of the relevant information about the mission."

"Also, please keep everything I'm going to say strictly confidential. Otherwise, we will hold you accountable."

Chapter 10 Green Bamboo Orchid

Opening the briefcase, the man took out four documents and handed them to the four people.

Then, he raised his gloved right hand to his chest and snapped his fingers. A layer of pale silver light spread out from his right hand, just enveloping the room and blocking the spread of sound.

Seeing this scene, the three private investigators except Aicheng Hualian were all startled.

They never imagined that this agent possessed psychic powers just like them.

For those who have psychic powers but choose not to become an investigator, the official generally refers to them as psychics.

As for Aicheng Hualian, she knew he possessed psychic powers the moment he entered the tavern. A body imbued with the aura of the evil god was incredibly sensitive to psychic energy.

"The mission information is all in the document in front of you. Please read it carefully and don't miss any details. By the way, you can call me Xingjiu."

After saying this, the man named Xing Jiu sat down on a chair next to the dining table. He did not communicate with the four investigators present, but just closed his eyes and rested.

Well, this attitude...

Ai Cheng Hua Lian was fine, but the other three investigators had already frowned and labeled the agent "arrogant" in their hearts.

In their more than ten years of working in the industry, they have never seen a client like the one in front of them who doesn't look like he is begging for help.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of flipping pages.

According to the contents of the document, the client's name is Qing Zhumin, and his daughter Qing Zhulan disappeared at 10:37 pm two days ago in the "Bai Ju" tavern and her whereabouts are still unknown.

After calling the police, they did not find any fingerprints, hair, saliva or other evidence that could trace the criminals at the scene. Qing Zhulan seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared without a trace.

The psychics hired by Qing Zhumin confirmed that Qing Zhulan's disappearance was caused by evil spirits. Therefore, Qing Zhumin sent group messages on some private search platforms, trying to gather more forces to find her daughter.

Qing Zhumin... The moment she saw this name, Aicheng Hualian knew why the agent in front of her said that "the commission information needs to be kept confidential."

The reason was simple. As the chairman and CEO of Xijian Enterprise, a company strongly supported by the state, if the news of his little daughter's disappearance were to spread, the company's stock would plummet.

Furthermore, Xijian Enterprise's headquarters was in Donghua City, and the profits and jobs it created were too great for even the city government to ignore. If news of Qingzhu Min's daughter's disappearance spread, not only would the company be in trouble, but even the authorities would come to question them.

After learning the identity of the client, the other three investigators immediately tore off the arrogant label that had been attached to Xing Jiu, and even sat up straight.

Are you kidding? Most of the clients they usually come into contact with are ordinary people. When have they ever seen a client of such a noble status?

Although they possess psychic powers and have various unique abilities beyond those of ordinary people, that is only compared to ordinary people.

If compared with a nationally renowned wealthy man like Qing Zhumin, they would still have to bow their heads and apologize with a smile in a nice tone.

There was even a hint of envy in their eyes as they looked at Xing Jiu. Working under a boss like Qing Zhumin would guarantee a lifetime of food and clothing.

As for Aicheng Hualian, who was standing by, she simply ignored Qingzhumin's name and flipped through the documents in her hand, trying to find any information about the evil spirit and decide whether this commission was worth her while.

If the evil spirit this time cannot satisfy her need to raise an evil god, then let alone the fact that it is Qing Zhumin's daughter who is missing, even if Qing Zhumin herself is missing, it has nothing to do with her.

"I believe you all understand the importance of this matter." Glancing at the four investigators, Xing Jiu stood up and handed four watches to them. "This watch has a long-distance communication function, using an encrypted network. Nineteen investigators like you have already joined the search for Miss Qing Zhulan."

"If you have any information or discoveries, please communicate through this watch. If the mission information is leaked, our company will pursue responsibility to the end. Do you understand?" At the end of his words, Xing Jiu's tone became serious, with a hint of threat.

Looking at the four people in front of him, a hint of disdain flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Before coming here, he also did some homework and learned about the background and work experience of the four private investigators in front of him.

To be honest, these four investigators were significantly weaker than him. As Qing Zhumin's subordinate and bodyguard, Xing Jiu's psychic abilities had already reached the edge of D-rank, and his combat training had been meticulously tailored by the company. He was no match for the four unskilled individuals before him.

If Qing Zhumin had not been so eager to find his daughter and asked for more manpower to look for his beloved daughter Qing Zhulan, he would really have looked down on these private investigators in front of him.

Private investigators? They're just a bunch of people who don't dare walk in the sunlight, seeking food in dark corners beyond the reach of the government. They're not even a hair above the official investigators.

Unfortunately, the official investigator is responsible for the safety of the entire city and only obeys orders from the evil spirit response department. It is impossible for him to be dispatched specifically for Qing Zhulan's disappearance. Otherwise, how could these guys take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in?

This time, he came just to inform the four people of the mission information, and to warn them, letting them know the consequences of leaking the commissioned information, and to explain the benefits.

"If you can find Miss Qing Zhulan, the reward for the commission will not be unfair to you."

As he spoke, the four watches all showed a number. Even Aicheng Hualian raised an eyebrow when he saw it.

A salary in the tens of millions...if she were an ordinary person, it would be enough for her to live for a lifetime.

"This! I will do my best to send Miss Qingzhulan to Ms. Qingzhumin safely." Wu Sunyun stood up suddenly, pointing his left hand holding the fan to the sky, as if swearing to the sky.

"Please be careful with your words. Miss Qingzhulan is not some cargo that needs to be transported, but the apple of Ms. Qingzhumin's eye. You should be escorting her, protecting Miss Qingzhulan's safety like bodyguards." Xing Jiu corrected Wu Sunyun's words with an unhappy look on his face, and "inadvertently" released his own spiritual energy fluctuations, covering the four people at the dining table.

Feeling this fluctuation, the four people's expressions changed slightly and their breathing became a little rapid.

Wu, Sunyun and the other two were gasping for breath due to the powerful pressure of this spiritual energy.

As for Aijo Karen... she was trying hard to suppress the impulses of the evil god in her body.

"Hey, calm down! Don't bother with this guy. If you eat him out of arrogance, we'll be exposed!"

As for Xingjiu's psychic oppression, for Aicheng Hualian... it was not as great as the pressure caused by the evil god snoring inside her body.

Chapter 11 I Want to Quit

After giving some final instructions regarding confidentiality, Xing Jiu put the four documents into his briefcase and walked out of the private room with a cold expression.

The remaining four investigators sat at the dining table, organizing the mission information in their minds.

"I really envy Inspector Chi Yan." Wu Sunyun suddenly said something out of the blue, with a sigh on his face.

"Ok?"

"I never thought that Inspector Chi Yan would be able to take on such a major case in his first year of his career. It really makes me feel emotional. I, Wu Sunyun, have worked diligently for more than 20 years, and it was not until today that I was fortunate enough to be involved in this case and connect with the upper class."

There was no sarcasm in his words; they were full of heartfelt emotion, revealing the sadness of a frustrated man in his forties.

It is hard to imagine that a psychic who can call the wind and rain in the eyes of ordinary people would also have such a dark side.

Mie Eriko, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Wu Sunyun, the sourness in your words is almost coming out. Miss Chi Yan has special abilities and her potential is much greater than you and me. Naturally, her opportunities are beyond our reach."

Ever since Aijo Karen helped Eriko cure the "remnants of evil", Eriko has developed a liking for Investigator Akagi.

"That's true. I just feel a little emotional." Wu Sunyun waved his hands, feeling bitter in his heart.
