I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

To be more realistic, it was because the people in the orphanage gave Aicheng Hualian a perfect and happy childhood that Hualian burst out with an overwhelming will to survive when she was dying, which attracted her attention and led to a series of events such as the signing of the contract.

"Sister Guang has been traveling outside most of the time and just recently returned to Donghua City."

"Okay, so this Miss Guang is the psychic you often mentioned, Hua Lian?" a ghost sister asked, "Those psychics with many special abilities?"

In the past, when Aicheng Hualian visited the orphanage, she would bring some outside information to the ghosts. She also packaged and informed the ghosts of terms like "psychic" and "evil spirit," which were only known to professionals.

The ghosts here even know that they were killed by an evil spirit, and Aicheng Hualian is the only survivor.

When they learned the news three years ago, the ghosts were only dejected for a moment, and then the three teachers immediately reacted and persuaded Aicheng Hualian not to think about revenge.

Dozens of people from the orphanage were slaughtered in a flash by the mind flayer. If Ai Cheng Hua Lian, still an ordinary person in their eyes, were to seek revenge, it would be sheer suicide!

In their hearts, Hua Lian was lucky to be alive. At least there were still people in the world who remembered this orphanage and came to see them. If Hua Lian died, this orphanage would be truly dilapidated.

"Yes, Sister Guang is a very powerful psychic. No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, it will be vulnerable in front of her!" As she said that, Aishiro Karen turned to look at Kagura Guang, and mentally signaled her to show off her skills.

Kagura Hikaru rolled her eyes slightly in her heart. She was a god, not a human-shaped firework for performance, let alone a performance for these weak ghosts that could be blown away by a breath.

Under Aicheng Hualian's earnest gaze, she still stretched out her hand and unleashed her pseudo-created psychic power.

A faint blue light flashed, and a chair in front of her was frozen into ice. She kicked the chair lightly again, and it shattered into blue powder.

"Wow!"

"So...so awesome!"

The ghosts admired and circled around Aijo Karen and Kagura Hikari.

"Since Hua Lian can make friends like this, we don't need to worry about her future safety." Near the wall, two other teachers were floating, their faces full of smiles.

One of them is the chef here, who once fed two-and-a-half-year-old Hua Lian with his own hands; the other is the physical education teacher who is responsible for taking the children out to play, and has held Hua Lian's little hand.

Hua Lian, surrounded by ghosts, smiled shyly, as if she had returned to the past.

But she had another idea in her mind.

"Everyone's strength is still too weak. It will be troublesome if we encounter evil spirits."

If she was still in Donghua City, it would be easy. With the means of subspace teleportation, even if there was an accident in the orphanage, she could rush to the scene and eliminate the threat in the first time.

But it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.

Even if there is a little black cat stationed here, it cannot deal with enemies above level E.

We should find a way to enable everyone to protect themselves, or at least not be confined to this orphanage for their entire lives.

The area here is only a few hundred square meters, and if you encounter the enemy, you can't escape even if you want to.

Let’s first free everyone from the limitations of being earthbound spirits.

Thinking of this, Aicheng Hualian quietly released his spiritual energy.

A wisp of pink spiritual energy was like the morning mist, or the subtle red glow hanging in the sky before nightfall, floating in the orphanage, so thin that no one could detect the existence of this spiritual energy.

They just floated and merged into the bodies of the ghosts.

Vibrant vitality blooms in the core of the ghost, nourishing their spirits.

First, the ghost felt that his body became inexplicably heavy, and his translucent body became more solid. It was no longer as illusory as before, like a rootless duckweed, but seemed to have become a real entity.

"Strange, why do I feel a little sleepy..."

There were ghosts yawning, their eyes slightly narrowed, like bears that had eaten enough food and were about to hibernate, swaying in the air, as if about to lie down on the ground and fall asleep.

"Hua Lian...what happened to us?"

Teacher Lin felt the same way. She felt sleepy. How could she not have thought that this was the change brought about by Hua Lian?

"Teachers and brothers and sisters, I have a gift for you this time." Aicheng Hualian said, increasing the intensity of her spiritual energy transmission. "I want you to no longer be restricted by the orphanage and be able to go wherever you want."

"Have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will have undergone tremendous changes."

The gift from a C-rank psychic is enough to allow the ghosts to evolve.

Just like they used to take her, the youngest child, out for a spring outing, now it was her turn to hold everyone's hands and walk out of this dilapidated yard.

Chapter 145 The Prototype of the Domain

The spiritual energy gradually spread outward, and as the density continued to increase, some observant ghosts noticed the changes in the air.

"Are those red things fog?"

"No, those are my spiritual powers." Aicheng Hualian said. She didn't need to hide anything from these ghost relatives.

"Psychic power? Does that mean Hua Lian is also a psychic?!" Upon hearing the good news, some ghosts cheered in surprise. Their sister was already an elite among humans, so it was no wonder they were so happy. "Great! Our Qianmiao Orphanage has a psychic too!"

They also knew that psychics were extremely rare among humans, often appearing only a few in thousands. Now that Hua Lian had become a psychic, and with Miss Guang beside her, their future was bright.

"Hululu..."

As Aicheng Hualian continued to release his psychic energy, some weaker ghosts had fallen into a deep sleep, snoring on the ground.

As long as they get some sleep and are nourished by Aicheng Hualian's spiritual energy, they will no longer be simple earthbound spirits, and may have the possibility of becoming G-level or even F-level spirits.

"Karren... isn't this too much of a burden for you?" Noticing the sweat dripping from her forehead, Ghost Teacher expressed some concern. "If you're too tired, just take a break. We're living quite well here, and we don't really need to exert ourselves so much."

"It's okay, it's nothing." Hua Lian forced a smile.

How could a living ghost, locked up in an orphanage for five whole years, possibly recover? The teacher was just trying to comfort her.

Now she is a mid-level C-rank psychic and can be called a strong person in the psychic circle. It is time for her to do something for everyone.

But this matter is more complicated than she imagined.

She had sent her spiritual energy into the interior of living organisms to give them stronger vitality. It was not difficult and she had also comprehended the spiritual skill of [Spirit Infusion Creation].

However, if you want to use your own spiritual power to enhance the vitality of the target object while ensuring that it does not affect the target's consciousness, the difficulty is on a different level.

The former is like piling sand on the beach. No matter what shape it is, just pile it up and it’s done.

The latter is different. Under the premise of sea breeze and sea erosion, a small sand pile must be expanded into a Gothic castle using sand.

What Aicheng Hualian is doing is expanding and strengthening the bodies of the ghosts, and using his own spiritual power to evolve these ghosts.

And there are thirty-nine of them at a time.

As luck would have it, because the ghosts had been circling around Hua Lian to celebrate, their positions now happened to form three circles around Hua Lian. In order to accurately deliver the spiritual energy released by Hua Lian, it formed a compass or spider web shape.

Aicheng Hualian was right in the center of the compass. Her brows were furrowed, sweat was pouring down her face, and she used all her willpower to control the C-level psychic power, trying her best to make every ray of psychic power blend gently into the bodies of these ghosts.

The gap between C-level and non-level ghosts is too huge. Feeding their spiritual energy requires very high precision, like an adult holding a bucket of water to feed ants one by one without drowning them.

Under such high-load and high-precision operations, Aicheng Hualian's will was like a taut steel wire. Thirty-nine forces were tearing at her soul from thirty-nine different directions, as if to turn her mind into chaos.

But even in this torture, a hint of enlightenment flashed through her mind.

The unique skill called Domain showed signs of improvement.

Domain is a method that can only be mastered by psychics above rank C.

The principle is: to diffuse one's own spiritual energy into the space around oneself in a specific way, and then manipulate it according to specific rules to create an environment that is beneficial to oneself.

In the domain, the domain releaser will receive a large amount of amplification and gain various characteristics.

Some even say that the so-called domain is the prototype of a small universe. If a psychic is strong enough, his own domain can become a universe in itself, forming a subspace that belongs to him alone.

Only by owning a field can you be qualified to go further.

Generally speaking, only top-level geniuses with extraordinary intelligence can comprehend their own domain at the advanced stage of C-rank. Many C-rank psychics never comprehend their own domain throughout their lives, and their life's achievements are locked in.

There is no doubt about Aicheng Hualian's talent. She possesses top-level psychic emotions. Even if she has not received special training and instruction, it is certain that she will master the field.

But by chance, the way she now uses psychic energy to enhance the vitality of the ghosts just meets the requirements of the domain.

She seemed to have touched the threshold of her own domain, and constructed the prototype of her own domain at a level of only intermediate C rank.

It is the power that nourishes life, an auxiliary skill that is so powerful that it transcends boundaries, and a field derived from one's own vibrant spiritual energy.

But it is different from other life-support fields.

It is not a lush primeval forest, nor a secret garden where the wind blows and the fragrance of flowers and birdsong is released. It is more like life's primal desire for survival, burning, expanding, and radiating vitality like a flame.

The feeling was fleeting, and before Hua Lian could grasp the inspiration, it disappeared.

When she came to her senses, she found that all the ghosts present had fallen into a deep sleep, with faint snoring sounds coming one after another, and her spiritual energy was no longer spreading.

"It's done." Aicheng Hualian breathed a sigh of relief. She was even happier to have successfully helped the ghosts strengthen their bodies than to have sensed the spiritual light of her domain. "Once you wake up, you won't have to be confined to this orphanage anymore."

Turning her head to look at Kagura Hikari who was standing aside in deep thought, Aijo Karen walked up to him and waved in front of him, "What are you thinking about, Hikari? Let's go home. I'm a little sleepy."

"Meow~" A little black cat jumped in from the window, landed on Aicheng Hualian's shoulder, and licked her face with its little tongue.

This is Xiao Hei No. 2, a life created by Aicheng Hualian with soul injection specifically to protect this orphanage. If you must say, Hualian is its mother.

"Hey, Xiao Hei, long time no see. You've worked hard during this period. There aren't any bad guys around the orphanage, right?"

"Meow meow!"

Using his unique telepathy, the little black cat told Hua Lian everything he had seen recently.

The orphanage is located in a remote area with few visitors, so it has always been safe. The most common things in the surrounding wasteland are weeds and insects.

"That's good. This is a reward for you."

Condensing the spiritual energy into the shape of candy, and then using a little of his own blood to dye the candy red, Aicheng Hualian handed the red candy to the little black cat and watched it eat the candy with a smile.

This candy is enough to support the little black cat's energy consumption for three months.

"While I'm away, you will wait here obediently. Don't let anyone in, especially those evil spirits."

"Meow!"

……

Nothing unexpected happened on the way home, except that Kagura Hikaru remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Aicheng Hualian did not disturb the other party. She was looking at the mission information sent by Captain Donglan on the communicator.

"The first mission is to go to another city, and it's a big city."

Chapter 146 Target Luoxi City

"Hua Lian, this is your first mission, so please read all the precautions in the manual."

In the room of the Third Special Team of the Intelligence Department, Talina was sorting out the clothes that Aicheng Hualian was wearing.

It was Hua Lian's first time wearing the squad's official uniform for a mission, so it was inevitable that there were some imperfections. The collar wasn't tied properly, and the cuffs were a little wrinkled, which all needed to be fixed.

"No problem, I can even recite it backwards." Aicheng Hualian replied with a smile.

The contents of the task manual are very simple, mostly consisting of some rules and regulations that need to be paid attention to, such as not leaking secrets and prohibiting showing off the department's name.

Kagura Hikaru stood beside Aijo Karen, her air of no strangers approaching being completely out of place. She wasn't even wearing her work clothes, just a casual black T-shirt and knee-length pants, which was a stark contrast to her fair skin.

Perhaps it was a warning from instinct, but the other members of Team 3, even the most prudish Huo An, had no intention of blaming Kagura Hikaru for his mistakes. It was as if something subconsciously told them that opposing Kagura Hikaru would do no good.

"The place we're going to is called Luoxi City, which is 173 kilometers away from Donghua City. It's a large city by the sea. 30% of Nanlingzhou's seafood is supplied by Luoxi City."

"The client for this mission is the chairman of the local Lei Yu Security Company. There have been some problems there recently. You'll find out when you get there."

crunch.

A sound of metal hitting the ground came from the door. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Captain Donglan.

In order to keep up with her team, this woman, whose legs are temporarily unable to move, installed exoskeletons on her legs and wore trousers to cover the exoskeletons to avoid being noticed.

"Ouch." Talina frowned.

Last night, she earnestly advised the captain to take good care of his injuries and not to strain his body after recovering from a serious illness. But the captain refused to listen and insisted on going with her.

"This is our team's new mission. If the team members are fighting hard on the front line, and I, as the captain, am doing nothing in the rear, what will happen?"

"Don't worry, I'll be in charge of communication and coordination when we get there, and I won't cause any trouble for you."

Unable to persuade the captain, Talina had no choice but to give the captain the best exoskeleton device in the intelligence department, at least to prevent the captain from walking around in a wheelchair.

"Captain!" Aicheng Hualian saluted Donglan with an excited smile on her face, full of the longing for the mission of a new team member. It was very consistent with the appearance of a young person who had just joined the department, as bright as the rising sun.

"Team Aicheng, the future missions will all depend on you."

"I will definitely not let the captain and seniors down!"

Kagura Hikaru on the side pursed her lips quietly, thinking that her own breeder’s acting skills were quite good.
