One option is to join a government agency, voluntarily wear a control collar, become a bodyguard for a high-ranking official, or serve as a second-line officer in the evil response department.
If you refuse, you will be imprisoned in a prison specially prepared for psychics and will never see the light of day again.
In the eyes of the government, those who possess psychic powers and are unwilling to be monitored are all potentially dangerous elements and must be brought to justice.
The private investigator codenamed "Yanyun" was probably about to say goodbye to his career.
Take care, Investigator Yanyun.
……
Through the information on the forum, everyone discovered that after the evil attack, only eleven of the nineteen private investigators were left.
The eight investigators died before they could accomplish their mission, casting a shadow over the commissioned task.
Two questions hovered like dark clouds in the minds of all investigators.
"Who is driving these evil spirits to attack them, and what factors have caused these evil spirits to become so aggressive?"
These two issues, taken individually, would have been enough to shake up society and draw the attention of the evil-dealing authorities. But now, they appeared simultaneously in this commission, instantly placing immense pressure on these private investigators.
Some people began to back out.
[Can someone please help me return this watch on my wrist to the client? I don't want to continue this commission anymore. I want to withdraw.]
[Linggu, are you backing down now? ]
"What do you mean by retreating? That's knowing the situation. I'm not good at fighting to begin with, and this commission doesn't look very promising. The most important thing is to get out of this mess as soon as possible."
[Wait! What's going on? How did my personal information suddenly get posted online and captured by the Evil Response Department!?]
At this moment, the private investigator code-named Linggu was horrified and posted several messages in the forum in a hurry.
[Damn it! Someone leaked my account information on the evil spirit exorcism platform, and even the address of my safe house has been discovered by the official evil spirit response department! Those cops are sending people to arrest me!]
[It's the client! It was that woman Qingzhu Min who leaked my information!]
"what happened?"
Aijo Karen, who was leaning against the wall, raised her eyebrows.
Actively leaking the information of private investigators to the official government is tantamount to declaring war on the investigators.
"Could it be that?"
A guess emerged in her mind and was soon confirmed by a message in the forum.
Dear Private Investigators, I am Qingzhu Min, Chairman of Xijian Company, and your client. I am sorry to inform you that after accepting the commission to find my daughter, you will no longer have the right to withdraw at will.
If you withdraw from this commission without permission, your personal information will immediately appear in the mailbox of the Donghua City Evil Response Department. I apologize, but I have no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand the heart of a mother.
"Grass!"
After seeing this news, many investigators cursed.
Chapter 17: Exploring Alone
"How dare that woman threaten us!?"
After seeing the information posted by Qing Zhumin in the forum, some investigators immediately started cursing.
In all their years of working in the industry, this was the first time they had seen such an arrogant client.
"Isn't she afraid that we will retaliate against her later?" Some investigators shouted, threatening to teach Qing Zhumin a lesson.
"If that woman was afraid, she wouldn't be threatening us now." Another investigator suppressed his anger and calmly analyzed the situation. "A powerful boss like her must be protected by psychics. With our strength, it would be difficult for us to even get close to her."
"And have you ever thought about this? If we retaliate and anything happens to Qing Zhumin, we'll be hunted down by the government. Then we'll really be left hiding."
Xijian Company is a high-tech manufacturing enterprise that is supported by the federal government. If its CEO is killed by a psychic, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Damn it, there's a psychic right beside them, why do they need us to help?"
"Tsk, don't you understand? In the eyes of those powerful people, we are nothing but dogs that can be waved away at any time."
For a moment, the private investigators present were filled with excitement yet helpless. After analyzing the situation, they realized that even as psychics, they really couldn't do anything about Qing Zhumin.
The other party has strength, money, and status, which is beyond the reach of private investigators like them who operate in the dark.
[Everyone, this is Investigator 'Anlei'. I'm sure you all understand the current situation. The difficulty of this commission has exceeded our imagination, and we can't withdraw from it at will. So I do have a suggestion.]
As the saying goes, unity is strength. How about we, the remaining investigators, unite and work together for the next period of time? By combining everyone's strengths, we can complete this commissioned mission as quickly as possible.
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately agreed by some investigators.
"The Dark Mine Investigator is right. We should definitely unite now. If we encounter any more accidents, we can look after each other."
[Okay! Investigators who share my thoughts can gather at the top floor of Shogi Bank as I sent you earlier.]
"This mine investigator is quite interesting."
Aicheng Hualian stood at the corner of the street, looking at the building called Shouyi Bank. In her sight, several waves of spiritual energy were converging towards the top floor.
As for Qing Zhumin's threat, she didn't care at all.
From the day she joined the evil-eliminating platform, all the personal information she registered on it, including her name and address, was forged.
Even when she registered her account, she deliberately went to another county in Donghua City to register to prevent the other party from finding out her address.
The computer she used was also contaminated with the aura of the evil god, making it impossible for those who wanted to find her network IP address to do so.
Therefore, Qing Zhumin's threat was completely meaningless to her.
"But this woman is really annoying. Using a private investigator as cannon fodder is really arrogant."
She could understand why the other person had become a little crazy because of her daughter's disappearance, but understanding was one thing, and it was not pleasant to be used as a tool.
Kill her...
In her sight, the black-haired girl stood in front of her, pointing to the tall headquarters building of Xijian Company.
At the same time, Qing Zhumin, who had just sent the threatening message, suddenly felt a pain in her heart, as if something had pulled it hard, making her almost faint.
"Come on, I'm not the type to kill people randomly. Besides, I'm not planning on quitting this mission. Now, it has other attractions for me."
The previous attack launched by the Soul-stealing Mist Girl on Aicheng Hualian actually aroused her interest in this commissioned mission.
Originally, she accepted this commission simply because she wanted to find food for the evil god, but now her thoughts have changed.
"That mist girl's aggressiveness reminded me of something. You remember it too, right?"
The mind flayer five years ago was also so brutal, wiping out all humans in its sight, leaving her as the only survivor in the orphanage.
"Maybe this commission will allow me to find something interesting."
I looked up at the top floor of Shouyi Bank, where nearly eight investigators had gathered.
Without paying much attention, Aicheng Hualian walked towards the Baiju Tavern in front.
Just then, a humorous voice came from her left.
"I said, aren't you going to join them?"
Aijo Karen looked towards the source of the sound and saw a girl in a cherry blossom kimono smiling at her.
Indigo hair cascaded over the girl's shoulders, her eyes a beautiful amber, her features delicate and lovely, a hint of allure lingering. She looked no more than a teenager, with a beautiful figure, comparable to Aicheng Hualian.
"you are?"
"Private investigator, Hua Liu." The girl bowed to her, her face full of cynicism.
"You haven't answered my question yet, Inspector Chiyan."
"Well, I just don't want to get together with others. Not only are there too many people around, but sometimes my thoughts will be disturbed by others, and I can't put my hands on anything." Aicheng Hualian said, and the content of her words reflected her true thoughts.
However, the private investigator named Hua Liu seemed to have some misunderstandings.
"That's right."
"Only the weak would choose to band together. For those who are strong enough, banding together would only be a burden." As she spoke, she glanced at Aicheng Hualian's pale face and bloodied chest, and couldn't help but laugh. "However, compared to banding together for warmth with someone as weak as you, showing off your strength is even more foolish."
It seems that the other party regarded Aicheng Hualian's poor physical condition as the influence of the previous battle with the evil spirit, and judged her strength based on this.
Aicheng Hualian didn't want to explain and walked straight towards Baiju Tavern.
She stepped over the cordon surrounding the tavern, walked into the tavern, and looked around.
The pub's furnishings exude an air of ambiguity, reminiscent of a couple's hotel. The walls and bar are covered in photos of young girls, some of which are quite revealing.
Following the location provided in the commissioned information, she came to a room numbered 18.
Pushing open the door, Aicheng Hualian let spiritual energy surge into his eyes and looked at the 30-square-meter room.
Since she arrived late, some investigators had already come to explore the room, resulting in the room being mixed with the spiritual energy of some other investigators.
But even so, Aicheng Hualian still found some black and red spiritual energy on the bed in the room.
No, it should be called evil energy.
"There is indeed something evil at work. However, there are some differences."
As she spoke, she called out in her heart.
[Evil God, what do you think? ]
Chapter 18: The Diagram Behind the Tavern
Following Aicheng Hualian's call, her left eye turned dark blue. To outsiders, she appeared to be wearing cosmetic contact lenses. But in her own vision, the entire world was shrouded in a faint blue filter.
It was just to make the other party appear in front of her, but the pressure from the god was like a mountain pressing down on her, making her feel like she was thrown into the Mariana Trench, and the feeling of desperate suffocation enveloped her consciousness.
This feeling was fleeting, and a solemn look flashed across Aicheng Hualian's face.
The burden brought to her by the evil god became increasingly heavy.
I don’t know how long this container of hers can last.
At this moment, a pool of black mud emerged from the ground in front of her, and two snow-white arms emerged from the mud. The arms supported themselves on the ground beside them, and with a little effort, a black-haired girl emerged from the mud and stood in front of Aicheng Hualian.
Snow-white skin, waist-length hair, a broad chest, and a face etched with a cold expression that seemed to have never thawed. Judging only by appearances, she was the quintessential iceberg, a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair. But if someone tried to understand her true nature... well, they would die.
"I say, have you grown a little?" Aicheng Hualian looked at the evil girl in front of her, walked up to her side, stretched out his hand to compare the height difference between the two, and said in surprise, "Really! You're almost as tall as me."
Thinking back to the past... well, just a few hours ago, the other person looked only about fifteen years old, and his height was only up to her shoulders.
But now, the girl standing in front of her had eyebrows and eyes that could be touched by the top of her head, and her facial features had obviously grown up, getting rid of that childish feeling, and she looked like she was already seventeen years old.
The other party's rapid growth was thanks to the efforts of her breeder. Her efforts over the past few years had not been in vain, and the various evil spirits she had fed to the other party had not been in vain.
A sense of accomplishment spread within her.
She felt like she was playing a cultivation game, except that what she was raising was not a pet, but an evil god.
"Excuse me, how old is this girl?" she asked jokingly with a smile.
The evil girl glanced at her and said, "I don't know. I've lost all my memories of the past. You're the first creature I've ever seen."
"Ah this..."
Aicheng Hualian was stunned, suddenly remembering that she had never asked about the other party's past. She had always treated him as someone younger than herself.
Thinking about it now, such an idea is really ridiculous.
How could this evil god be only a teenager? His existence must have been very long.
So what kind of past does this evil god have?
Why did the person five years ago look like he was on the verge of death?
All kinds of speculations lingered in Aicheng Hualian's mind, and then she put them behind her.
The most important thing now is to complete the commission in front of her first.
"Well, that's not the point. Could you please ask this evil god grandmother to investigate the existence of this ball of evil energy in front of us?"
"..."
The evil girl walked forward, stretched out her hand, and grabbed the black and red evil energy floating in the air.
"Very weak... but different from ordinary bugs." The evil girl said: "This breath is mixed with the scent of humans."
"It's mixed with human scent? Could it be the scent of the captured Qing Zhulan?"
"Not really." The evil girl left the bed and wandered around the room.
