I raised the evil spirit and became an evil investigator

But she has seen Animal World.

That happened when she was still in Hua Lian's body.

During that period, she often took advantage of Hua Lian's sleep, crawled out in the form of a black jellyfish, and went into the living room to watch TV.

The evil god knew that the quickest way to understand this planet and the human world was through the medium of television.

So she watched Animal World.

"Spring is the mating season for animals."

Documentaries that begin with this sentence are the childhood of many children, but they are also textbooks of evil.

It made the evil god understand what the so-called "reproduction" was all about.

Reproduction, isn't that another request she is making to the breeder now?

So Xieshen began to learn, through animal documentaries, how to do meaningful things with the breeders in the future.

The evil god took the behavior of the animals during the breeding season described in the narration as the cultural customs of the planet - although this was not wrong - and used it as a template to construct a plan in his mind for interacting with the breeders.

She knew that a spouse had to be won through competition and needed to be protected by the suitor at all times, and that anyone around the spouse was a threat.

These are things that Aicheng Hualian doesn't know.

Poor Feng Lizi, she became one of the evil god's targets of vigilance...

In Hua Lian's eyes, Feng Lizi is a poor victim, a child who unfortunately lost her loved ones.

But in Kagura Hikaru's eyes, the female human named Kaede Riko is an opponent who may have an intersection with Karen.

Although he is an evil god, Kagura Hikaru would not attack a child, and would protect Kaede's safety according to Karen's wishes.

But she would always stand by Hua Lian and watch Feng Lizi's words and actions.

It's okay to seek shelter in their presence, but not overly intimate physical contact.

It's okay to get some meaningful information, but too frequent communication and conversation is not okay.

The three of them continued on their way in this strange atmosphere until they walked out of the underground drainage ditch.

The sunshine that she had missed for days shone on her body, and Feng Lizi felt a little dizzy. Her legs went weak and she was about to fall.

Just as Aishiro Karen was about to support her, Kagura Hikaru stepped on the ground, pushing a rock onto the ground, which just happened to support Kaede Riko's body as she fell to the ground.

Kagura Hikaru slapped the rock again, and it was instantly split into a wheelchair. The stone wheelchair, carrying Kaede Riko, could automatically follow the two of them wherever they went.

"That... is fine. Let's go, Feng Lizi. We'll take you to a safe place." Aicheng Hualian took out the communicator and told Emily Feng Lizi's information.

Emily also replied quickly.

"Huo An and Talina also found something. Let's meet at the hotel."

Chapter 164 Returning to the Hotel

Below the No. 13 drainage station in Luoxi City, in the destroyed cave prison.

The three petri dishes had been smashed by Aijo Karen and Kagura Hikaru, and the solution inside had flowed all over the floor, staining the gaps between the broken stones and tiles into brown and yellow stripes.

All sixteen prisons were destroyed by Aijo Karen, and except for Feng Lizi, all other creatures imprisoned there were euthanized by her.

Their injuries were so severe that some of them had already died. Even Aicheng Hualian was unable to save them.

After the three men left, the ruined prison was completely silent, with only the sound of water in the drainage ditch in the distance of the cave still being heard.

The sound of water flowing in the small cave is like a dirge for the deceased.

But soon the song started to become noisy.

wow~

Something was swimming upstream from the downstream drainage channel and crawling onto the shore.

The green webbed feet stepped on the ground, and the water droplets brought out from the channel slid down the skin covered with green scales. When they fell to the ground, they had turned into a sticky liquid and no longer looked like water.

"The prison here has been destroyed."

A deep, hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.

A huge blue-black claw rested on the ruins of the prison, grabbed a stone in its hand, and crushed the stone into powder with its fingers, then scattered the brown dust aside.

The dust fluttered down from the sky, and when it touched the ground, it had formed a strange shape, like a tree made up of countless bubbles.

"It's a psychic, but I don't know his rank. I only know his psychic power isn't very destructive, so he should be a support type."

The owner of the voice revealed his face in front of a spotlight.

It was a sturdy fish-headed monster, nearly two meters tall, with a dark blue complexion. Its scaly skin was covered with starfish and shellfish. Where human ears originally belonged were now two open fins, fluttering slightly in the air.

Compared with the fish-skull monster that was beaten to death by Aicheng Hualian, this fish-skull monster is obviously not on the same level. Not only does it have the same intelligence as humans, but it also has other special features.

This fish-skull monster had a green eyeball on its left upper arm, forearm and back of its hand. The eyes were rolling around, gazing at the surroundings with greedy eyes.

Not only that, the body of this fish-skull monster began to shrink slowly, and in the end it turned into an adult male. Except for three green birthmark-like patterns on his left arm, he was no different from a normal person.

"It's only a matter of time before this place is discovered. However..." The fish-skull demon, transformed into a man, walked over to a corpse, squatted down, and picked up the shriveled skin. "It's rare to see someone like me leave my followers in this state."

The dead skin he picked up was from the fish-headed demon that Aicheng Hualian had destroyed using her spiritual technique, Infusion Creation. Hualian's psychic energy transformed the fish-headed demon's blood into a bloodthirsty fish, which devoured it from the inside out, leaving only a rough skin lying on the ground.

"No matter who it is, I will make the murderer pay the price." A murderous light flashed in the man's eyes, and he opened his mouth and ate the dead skin on the ground bite by bite.

……

Aicheng Hualian and his two companions did not encounter any attacks on their way back to the hotel.

Police officers wearing the uniforms of Lei Yu Security Company are constantly patrolling the streets to eliminate any possible hidden dangers.

This was an order from Lei Shaowu, chairman of Lei Yu Company. After learning that Aicheng Hualian and others were attacked by assassins, Lei Shaowu was furious and sent 60% of the company's security forces to the streets for round-the-clock patrols.

In Luoxi City, many aspects of city operations are undertaken by private companies, and security is the responsibility of Lei Yu Company.

"Thank you for your hard work, we can just take the elevator up."

At the hotel entrance, Aicheng Hualian thanked the guards who were guarding them. The moment they stepped into Luoxi City from the suburbs, these guards surrounded them respectfully and escorted them to the hotel entrance.

Although these protections are smiley in front of Kagura Hikaru, who is openly a D-rank psychic, at least the attitude is expressed.

Lei Shaowu, a D-level intermediate psychic, even made a video call to apologize to them.

"Aicheng, I'm glad you're okay." Inside the room, Captain Donglan stood up from the ground and glanced at Hua Lian from top to bottom. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was not even a scratch on her skin.

Aijo Karen leaned slightly to the side and gave all the credit to Kagura Hikaru, "It's all thanks to Hikaru-sister's good protection. With Hikaru here, no one can hurt me."

From now on, she will work hard to improve the impression of Kagura Hikari in the minds of other team members, so that they will feel more at ease letting her stay with Kagura Hikari.

"If everyone takes it for granted when they see Xiaoguang and I working together in the future, then things will be much easier." Aicheng Hualian thought to herself.

In her plan, she should give the impression to the rest of the department that she is "a talent with no combat ability but special abilities", while Kagura Hikaru should give the impression to the rest of the department that she is "a strong and very reliable solid backup."

"The lack of strength I deliberately displayed will be filled by Xiaoguang."

Back to reality, Aicheng Hualian greeted Feng Lizi, "We found this child at the Thirteenth Drainage Station. She was imprisoned in a cage."

"Hello, sisters." Feng Lizi greeted them timidly, looking at the layout of the room curiously.

This was the first time she had seen such a room, which was much better than her humble home.

It would definitely be comfortable if I lived here.

Unfortunately, this idea was destined to be wishful thinking. Her parents had passed away five thousand years ago, and her sister Feng Lingzi, the family's sole source of income, was now missing.

"You're saying someone built a prison at the end of that cave? And they're holding humans?"

"To be precise, that prison wasn't built by humans." Aicheng Hualian took out her communicator and placed the photos she had taken in front of Captain Donglan and Emily. "It was an evil spirit called a fish-skull demon. It carved a hole in the wall of the drainage channel. Those photos of the victims I sent you earlier were also the work of the fish-skull demon."

"Fish-skull demon."

Emily started searching, and soon, some information from decades ago appeared on the screen in front of her.

Looking at this information, the petite blonde girl sitting cross-legged on the bed frowned. "Weren't the fish-skull demons completely eradicated by the department thirty-seven years ago? They should be hiding in the deep sea, barely surviving. Why are they showing up again now?"

"Appeared? That's not the case." Aicheng Hualian asked Kagura Hikaru to take Feng Lizi to the hotel cafeteria for a good meal. Then he continued, "Someone summoned these evil spirits, and they are in Luoxi City."

Chapter 165: Patterns on the Seabed

"Someone summoned the fish-skull monster from the deep sea? What's the purpose?"

"Are they those guys from the Chongling Cult?" Donglan thought of those lunatics who worshipped evil spirits. The wound on her left shoulder began to ache. The experience of lying unconscious in bed under the curse resurfaced in her mind, making her hate the Chongling Cult even more intense. "What are those lunatics up to now?"

"It's not necessarily the Chongling Cult," Aicheng Hualian said, remembering what the fish-skull demon had said to her. "They don't look like evil spirits that have signed a contract with humans. Although the Chongling Cult worships evil spirits, they wouldn't worship such low-level monsters."

"What do the Love City team members mean?"

"That fish-skull demon has been kept in prison. It's obvious that a higher-level evil has given it orders. It's more like a subordinate of another evil."

"That makes sense." Donglan nodded.

It is true that the Chongling Sect worships evil spirits, but the object of worship by those fanatics must at least have the word "God" in its name. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry can become the God worshipped by the Chongling Sect.

According to the information sent by Hua Lian, the fish-skull demon is very weak and even has difficulty communicating with humans. The Chongling Sect is not so poor as to worship such an evil creature.

"Hello! Hello! ...Can you hear me?"

At this moment, the three people's communicators rang with sounds. The sound came from the seabed two hundred meters deep. Talina was sitting in the submersible with Huo An beside her.

The three of them picked up the communicator and watched the video coming from the ocean continental shelf of Luoxi City.

"Hua Lian is here too. That's a good time to see what we found."

Talina pointed the camera in her hand at the seabed, while Huo An controlled the submersible and pointed its head downwards.

What appeared in front of Aicheng Hualian was the gray seabed.

Those are organic-rich sands, sediments accumulated over thousands of years by the corpses of countless organisms, and are a common feature of every seabed.

But there's something else here.

The submersible extended two robotic arms, and the propellers at the front of the arms started to rotate, stirring up the water flow and blowing a piece of sea sand into underwater sand waves, revealing a strange object further below.

It was a straight line formed by dozens of intertwined lines, dark green in color, extending from one side of the seabed to the other. No one knew how long it was or where it would go.

The propeller on the robotic arm continued to spin, digging into the seabed and stirring up the dark green streaks.

The strange thing is that no matter how the propeller stirs the rocks, even if it breaks the rocks on the seabed into pieces, the lines are still there, without even a sign of fading.

It’s as if the pattern itself doesn’t exist in real space, and all people can see is its projection.

"What are these patterns?" Aicheng Hualian asked. She searched her experience as a private investigator but couldn't find anything similar.

"I'm not sure." Emily tapped away at the keyboard. "Talina and the others have already communicated with us once before. I've searched these patterns, but haven't found anything meaningful."

"After that, the connection between Talina and us was inexplicably interrupted and suddenly severed. We only reconnected now."

"I see. Captain, do you have any impression of these patterns?"

Among the three people present, Captain Donglan has the richest professional experience and is most knowledgeable.

But unfortunately, Donglan just shook her head and said she didn't know.

"We discovered these lines by accident." Talina's voice sounded distant, a faint echo. "All the creatures on this seabed have undergone some kind of mutation. We discovered these lines when we stirred up the sand during a battle with a mutant shark."

"They can't be cleared. We've tried attacking with psychic techniques, but to no avail. Now that everyone is here, let's try directly inputting psychic energy and see what happens."

Talina and Huo An each held a handle, and their spiritual energy was transferred to the mechanical arm through the handle.

The end of the robotic arm emitted a blue light, poking downwards and directly pressing on the dark green lines.

hum~

The signal suddenly became intermittent, and the figures of Talina and Huo An flashed on the screen. Then with a click, the connection was broken again.

"The signal in the sea is very bad?" Aicheng Hualian shook the communicator, then reached out and tapped it, but found that it had no effect.

"This shouldn't be the case! Talina and the others are only thirteen kilometers away from us. This shouldn't be the case." Emily pulled her hair with her hands, obviously becoming impatient with the extremely poor signal.

"Thirteen kilometers?"

Aicheng Hualian looked at the distance between him and Talina displayed on his communicator and thought to himself that something was wrong.

I saw that the number that was originally showing 13 began to soar upwards.

24, 79, 248, 659...

The number continued to soar until it reached 1324 before it stopped.
