Chapter 595: Chapter 451 City of Evil Spirits_2

```

But there was a disguised evil spirit, and Zheng Yichen just couldn’t stand it anymore.

"Let it be, let it be," he thought, seeing the evil spirit brimming with malice. It wouldn’t be long before it made its move on him. The purpose was obvious to Zheng Yichen: to make the girl feel sad. Once she became sad, her mental state would deteriorate and turn negative.

Evil spirits greatly needed this kind of mental power.

After the girls finished their bath and horsed around for a bit, they skipped past the part Zheng Yichen didn’t want to elaborate on—feeding the cat—and all went to bed.

Late at night, Zheng Yichen, lying on the couch, opened his eyes. The faint noises around him made him glance at his own paws. The transformation into a cat spirit came with combat abilities, though slightly hindered, but enhanced with the cat spirit’s unique traits.

It was just that Zheng Yichen wasn’t quite comfortable with the state of being a cat spirit.

"Hehehe, hello my good little cat, I’ve come for you," an unsettling voice rang out, prompting Zheng Yichen to lift his head and watch as the disguised evil spirit approached.

The entity grasped Zheng Yichen with both hands as one would normally pick up a cat, but its palms had tiny tendrils that wound around Zheng Yichen, eroding him persistently. Zheng Yichen stared back at the evil spirit.

"Huh?" The disguised evil spirit looked bemusedly at Zheng Yichen. Its erosion had no effect on him. Its initial plan was to affect the cat, make it form a close relationship with the girl, and then find an opportunity to kill the cat.

Then the girl would experience a deliciously intense sadness and perhaps even despair.

At first, it was just sadness, but as the girl’s pets gradually died, the sadness unavoidably mixed with despair. Under its manipulation, rather than stopping, the girl would just keep wanting more pets.

It was like falling layer by layer. If this continued, the girl would bear fruitful and abundant Fruits of Despair.

And it thoroughly enjoyed the process of cultivating these fruits.

Yet there was something off about this cat?

"Good evening."

"You...?" The disguised evil spirit gazed at Zheng Yichen in shock, its scream silenced by a swipe of his paw. Afterward, under its horrified watch, the cat’s paw turned into a human hand. The hand pressed on the evil spirit’s head, forcibly tearing open its body and revealing the evil spirit’s soul.

"Aah—" The scream of the now exposed soul was cut short again as Zheng Yichen directly took control of the evil spirit’s soul with soul control manipulation.

This was where evil spirits and humans differed.

Humans had to die to have their souls fully exposed, while you just needed to tear open the energy layer constituting the evil spirits’ bodies.

"...Master, master," the subservient evil spirit spoke unwillingly after being dominated by soul control. At this moment, the evil spirit felt an overwhelming will binding it, a will that would forcefully dominate if it attempted to resist.

"Now, start talking about this place," Zheng Yichen commanded.

"Yes—" The disguised evil spirit began to reluctantly reveal the situation of the City of Evil Spirits. It wasn’t sure why this place had become what it was, but it knew that this place was a paradise for evil spirits, unseen and undetected by humans.

Here, evil spirits could easily perform certain operations, like making humans see only what they were supposed to see.

```

And what the humans in this city couldn’t see, or what the Evil Spirits didn’t want them to see, would all be ignored.

Humans and Evil Spirits coexisted within this city, and although occasionally there might be major incidents caused by Evil Spirits, these incidents would never fall back on the Evil Spirits. As for the exorcists who came here, they need not care either, as exorcists were equally unable to resist this city’s special nature.

Exorcists who came to this city would become just like any other human being, and afterward, even if they left the city, they wouldn’t return to normal, or to put it another way, they would always maintain what they believed to be a normal state.

The economic development of the City of Evil Spirits had always been one of the best, and for this reason, many people were willing to travel there voluntarily.

This city had rapidly grown from a small third-tier city into a top-tier metropolis.

Within it, the Evil Spirits had spared no effort to contribute; they were well aware that the better the city’s development, the more humans it would attract, and the more they could obtain, with more humans generating an abundance of abnormal mental power.

These forces were unlikely to spawn new Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures...

And within the city, the Evil Spirits didn’t need to produce new kin; they only needed to keep splitting those that produced abnormal mental power to become bigger and stronger. The higher the rank of the Evil Spirit, the more they received, the stronger they became, and some of those occasional incidents in the city were even guided by high-rank Evil Spirits.

After causing unrest among the city residents, these matters would be very properly handled afterward, and those involved would receive generous compensation, leading some people to deliberately commit offenses to gain wealth.

The generous compensation also greatly stabilized people’s hearts after the fact, and some events involving Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures were also full of trickery.

After all, it would be too strange to talk about a top-tier city without these Evil Spirit incidents. The exorcists worked hard to eliminate trouble-making Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures, maintaining the city’s stability, taking information released by high-rank Evil Spirits, and there was reason to celebrate...

"We, the Evil Spirits who act as residents on a daily basis, receive very little power," a disguised Evil Spirit said resentfully, its eyes greedily fixed on the door to its bedroom: "But I’m in luck, for I’ve found a very excellent tree. If nurtured well, I can enjoy that bountiful Fruit all to myself."

In this city, the high-rank Evil Spirits acted as ’tax collectors,’ with every bit of output being partly taken by them. These high-rank Evil Spirits, enjoying such benefits, valued certain orders here more than humans did.

Some Evil Spirits trying to cause trouble became the targets of extermination, and as for the common Evil Spirits, being such beings, their thoughts were naturally plenty. The disguised Evil Spirit was one of them.

The abnormal mental power that normally flowed out of the young girl would be divided up first; this was one of the unbreakable rules of the City of Evil Spirits. All Evil Spirits were unable to resist it, but within these rules, there were still other opportunities for Evil Spirits, like cultivating a Fruit of Despair as a way to ’avoid taxes.’

Without declaring everything, it could at least secure eighty percent of this fruit, where normally it could only obtain between twenty to forty percent of the abnormal mental power from the girl.

The Fruit of Despair was immensely attractive to it because it could instantly get a million, and then lose two hundred thousand to the rules of the City of Evil Spirits, keeping all the rest for itself, whereas at other times, for every dollar gained, less than half would end up in its possession.

Therefore, in the cultivation of the Fruit of Despair, it was very attentive and patient, provided it wasn’t too greedy at times. Otherwise, it would be very protective of this ’good sister,’ excluding the mental aspects.

"With all this effort, haven’t you Evil Spirits thought about leaking the information about this place out?" Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised by this; the Evil Spirits in the City of Evil Spirits were also being exploited. But according to the food chain, the human race was obviously at the lowest and most ignorant level.

Most other Evil Spirits belonged to the middle layer, with the remaining ones being the high-rank Evil Spirits who monopolized everything.

"Evil Spirits who come here can’t leak it out," the disguised Evil Spirit shook its head: "Once you’ve enjoyed the conveniences of this city, it becomes impossible to leak information unfavorable to it, and humans wouldn’t hear any of it. We Evil Spirits don’t even want to leave this city!"

There was no other reason, for even if being ’squeezed’ by the high-rank Evil Spirits in this city, it was better than living elsewhere. Here, one could get stronger just by lying down, and with a bit of effort, there was even the chance to squeeze into the circle of high-rank Evil Spirits... how could they bear to leave?

Zheng Yichen? To this disguised Evil Spirit, Zheng Yichen wasn’t even human!
