Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"emmm..."

While teasing Shirley with her foot, Qin Huanyu fell into deep thought again.

While analyzing the secret of the incarnation of arrogance, Qin Huanyu also received a lot of information and learned many things that left her speechless.

She only realized now that she had been favored by the royal family since she was very young and was one of the candidates for the next empress's wife. Moreover, she was ranked very high in the list and had now entered the top 5. Soon she would be going to the capital to participate in the final competition!

Some of her previous doubts have now been answered... Qin Huanyu had originally guessed that the reason the higher-ups valued her so much was because she was actually a princess who had been separated from her family for a long time. She never expected that the truth would be like this... She is not a princess, but she may very well become a princess's wife!

This……

Qin Huanyu recalled the princess in her memory. She had never met her in person, but she had seen the princess perform many times... The princess was an active idol and was about 3 years younger than Qin Huanyu.

She was a girl who followed a pure and cute image, with top-tier looks. Her figure wasn't as hot as Qin Huanyu or Yi Youyou, but it was still quite shapely. She looked like a very delicious fresh cream cake.

In short, Her Highness is definitely a woman with great charm and allure, and becoming her princess consort would be a win-win situation.

'But what about Youyou? I just... tsk.'

This question immediately made Qin Huanyu cover her head; her mind, which could usually deduce the correct answer instantly, was now failing her.

'Forget it, I'm only in the top five candidates, not yet a princess consort. Things will work out in the end. I'll think about this later.'

After thinking for a long time without finding a solution that would satisfy both sides, Qin Huanyu could only temporarily leave the future problems to her future self and focus on solving the immediate problems.

Regarding the real conspiracy of the Truth Society.

The Truth Society did not initiate its operations in the Holy Zhou Kingdom on its own initiative, but was invited by a traitor within the Holy Zhou Kingdom, who was one of the five candidates for the Princess Consort.

Besides Qin Huanyu, the other four candidates for princess consort were all stunning women who had achieved remarkable success in their respective fields, and Qin Huanyu even knew two of them.

One is Nangong Yue, the female officer who commanded the live-streamed annihilation of the Luo Mo gang last time. Her family has been in the military for generations, and countless people from her ancestors have died on the battlefield for the Holy Zhou Kingdom. She herself is currently the most talented drone expert in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and she is also a top-notch beauty with a great figure and looks. In school, she always dominated the position of school beauty, which is why it is normal for her to become a candidate for the princess consort.

Another person Qin Huanyu knew indirectly was Yuan Tingxue, who was the eldest sister of that foolish witch Yuan Baixue, and also the eldest daughter of the contemporary Celestial Master Yuan Qi. She had deeply inherited the true teachings of Taoism and was destined to become a core member of the Treasure Pavilion in the future.

Qin Huanyu didn't recognize the remaining two candidates at all; she only obtained some information from the memories of the embodiment of arrogance.

Wang Ruoxi, the eldest daughter of the old noble Wang family, is said to be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She is a woman who has already reached the pinnacle of classical art at a young age and is very famous in the circle... It's just a pity that Qin Huanyu has no interest in classical art, so she had never heard of her before.

Ma Siyan, the daughter of the largest merchant in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and also the daughter of the richest man in the country, has a net worth of hundreds of billions at a young age. She is a top expert in finance and once made the feat of indirectly controlling nearly 10 billion with only 3 million yuan. At the same time, she is also a traitor to the Holy Zhou Kingdom and the culprit who sent the embodiment of arrogance to attack Qin Huanyu.

This is a very ambitious woman. She has been eyeing the positions of princess consort and future empress for a long time. She started plotting many years ago, spending a lot of money to bribe many people to be her mole... The Investigation Bureau, the Treasure Pavilion, and even the palace all had people leaking information to her.

In the case of the top five candidates for the princess's consort, Ma Siyan had already obtained the list and started figuring out how to deal with her competitors before the princess herself even knew about it.

Ma Siyan was behind the scenes in the affairs of Gu Hao, Wild Hunt, and the Incarnation of Arrogance, and her plan theoretically had a very high success rate.

The fact that Qin Huanyu was restrained by the Pride Avatar was recorded in the Investigation Bureau. Ma Siyan learned of this through a mole within the Investigation Bureau she had bribed, so she hired the Pride Avatar to deal with Qin Huanyu. Afterwards, she planned to use Qin Huanyu to destroy the remaining competitors, and then shift all the blame to Qin Huanyu, so that Ma Siyan could win without a fight.

Fortunately, the Arrogance Incarnation failed. Not only did it not turn Qin Huanyu into the Arrogance Saintess, it also became Qin Huanyu's dog and exposed Ma Siyan's vicious plan.

No matter how beautiful a vicious woman is, Qin Huanyu would never forgive her for trying to destroy herself. Now, Qin Huanyu needs to think about how to fight back.

The most correct course of action would undoubtedly be to take Sherry to report Ma Siyan. Such treasonous behavior of colluding with the Truth Society is enough to warrant the execution of Ma Siyan's entire family.

But the Ma family is just too rich. Even the Arrogant One himself has a hard time figuring out how many people Ma Siyan has bribed. If Qin Huanyu were to play by the rules of the game under normal social order, even if she had irrefutable evidence, she wouldn't be able to win.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu had another option: to use the most direct method, to have the embodiment of arrogance lure Ma Siyan out and kill her directly.

However, this would make it difficult for Qin Huanyu to explain herself afterward... It is currently a consensus that the Pride Incarnation can control all arrogant people. It would be difficult for Qin Huanyu to prove that she was not controlled by the Pride Incarnation. The higher-ups might even consider her a mole, accused of colluding with the Pride Church to kill other princess candidates.

Besides that, there's another problem: how will the power of the Pride Incarnate and the Pride Church be dealt with? This is a huge gift for Qin Huanyu; she doesn't want to give it up, but she also doesn't want to be suspected by those above, or even cause a rift.

After thinking for a long time but still not coming up with a perfect solution, Qin Huanyu could only resort to the most common method that normal people use when faced with difficulties... Go home and ask her dad!

Qin Hai's rise from humble beginnings to become the director of a top research institute was not only due to his scientific talent, but also to his political acumen.

After making the decision, Qin Huanyu led Shirley out of the house and to the village entrance.

The villagers' abnormal state is undoubtedly the work of the Arrogance Incarnation. Now that the Arrogance Incarnation is Qin Huanyu's dog, it's easy for Qin Huanyu to restore the villagers to normal. She can even erase their memories of this period of time.

Waking up the unconscious police officers was not difficult either. They had just lost consciousness due to the psychological battle, and could be awakened by a little external stimulation, such as splashing cold water on their faces.

After waking the police, Qin Huanyu said that she had killed the cult members hiding in the village, and that all the villagers had returned to normal, so the case could be closed.

The police officers who came this time were all Qin Huanyu's confidants, and the armed police had cooperated with them many times. Seeing that the villagers had indeed returned to normal, no one suspected anything, and they all left together.

Upon returning to Baiguang City, Qin Huanyu did not rush to write a report on the incident. Instead, she called Qin Hai, who was engrossed in his research in the laboratory, to her room and explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail, seeking Qin Hai's opinion.

"Ayu, you've encountered the embodiment of arrogance??"

Qin Hai reacted strongly, his face showing an anger that Qin Huanyu had almost never seen before, and his whole being exuded a sharp killing intent that was completely unlike what a researcher should have.

"Dad..."

Qin Huanyu hugged her pillow and huddled at the head of the bed, indicating that she was a little scared. Shirley had already crawled under the bed and was lying on her stomach, not daring to breathe.

"...I'm sorry, Ayu, I lost my composure."

Qin Hai's anger came and went quickly; he soon regained his composure, though a lingering fear remained on his face, and his eyes were filled with determination.

“I understand your difficulties, Ayu… Leave this matter to me. Don’t write a report for the investigation bureau yet. Just summarize the cause and effect of the matter and give it to me. After that, just stay home and wait for the results… Don’t worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

"Dad?"

Qin Huanyu was even more puzzled; Qin Hai was clearly acting very strangely today.

"...I'm sorry, Ayu."

Qin Hai hesitated for a long while, then shook his head with a wry smile:

“There are some things that are really not suitable to tell you now. It would be like overturning a chessboard, which would make many people’s years of hard work and effort go to waste. Even if I dote on my daughter, I can’t do something so selfish.”

"……I see."

Qin Huanyu took a deep breath and didn't ask any more questions. She simply jumped off the bed obediently, walked to Qin Hai's side, and hugged him.

"I believe you, you are my father... Whatever you are hiding from me now, I believe you are doing it for my own good! Even if... I won't blame you."

"Okay, Ayu, good child."

Qin Hai smiled with satisfaction, but the resolve in his eyes grew even stronger.

Then he turned around and looked at Shirley, who had just peeked out from under the bed:

"This thing is the embodiment of arrogance? Are you sure you have complete control over it?"

"Sure, very sure!"

Qin Huanyu released Qin Hai, took two steps back to Shirley's side, first bending down to gently rub the dog's head, then suddenly kicking Shirley with a rather rough motion, stomping on her and grinding her feet:

“I have dismantled its very essence and implanted the highest authority into its consciousness. It’s like a computer that I control from hardware to operating system to software. I can’t think of any possibility that it could turn things around… Just like I told you, Dad, if I didn’t dislike the arrogance attribute, I could have swallowed it and become the Goddess of Arrogance myself.”

"That's it..."

Qin Hai thought for a moment, then said:

"Of course I trust your abilities, Ayu, but just to be on the safe side, let's not let this dog leave the research institute for now, and take some safety precautions for it, okay?"

"This...is okay."

Qin Huanyu readily agreed.

She could understand Qin Hai's concerns; the bizarre nature of the incarnation of original sin was simply too dangerous, and no amount of caution was too much.

To reassure Qin Hai and the higher-ups, Qin Huanyu obediently stated that she would not leave the research institute until the matter was settled and would personally stay there to watch over Shirley.

Afterwards, Qin Huanyu spent about one night compiling all the information she had obtained from the Incarnation of Arrogance into a formal report, which she then handed over to Qin Hai.

Qin Hai didn't explain much. After taking the report, he left the research institute, drove around the streets a few times, and then disappeared as if by magic.

Qin Hai, who had disappeared, soon reappeared in a sci-fi themed conference room, which had only 12 seats including him.

Qin Hai walked to one of the seats labeled "Watcher" and sat down. He then verified his pupils, blood, voiceprint, and fingerprints in turn before activating some of the conference room's functions and issuing a summons to the other members.

The first to respond to the summons was a location in the upper left corner of the conference room. The person summoned did not appear in person, but instead used some form of remote communication to condense a three-dimensional image resembling a divination plate using spiritual energy.

Qin Hai bowed respectfully to the graphic.

"It's been a long time, teacher. Greetings."

"..."

The divination chart flickered a few times before answering in a disdainful yet arrogant voice:

"Don't talk to me, I don't have a rebellious student like you!"

Qin Hai smiled, said nothing more, and continued to wait.

Three-dimensional graphics appeared one after another in the conference room, representing members from all over the world connecting remotely through various means.

The three-dimensional patterns included soaring white eagles, flashing lightning, dazzling crosses, and mysterious purple vortexes...

The three-dimensional graphic located at the head of the conference room, and the last to light up, was a phoenix bathed in golden flames.

"It seems everyone is here. Let's begin the meeting, a long-awaited meeting."

Upon arrival, Golden Flame Phoenix immediately took over the presiding over the meeting, and no one else objected. Instead, they all respectfully bowed to Golden Flame Phoenix silently.

"Tell me, Watchman, what happened?"

After accepting everyone's greetings, the Golden Flame Phoenix turned to look at Qin Hai:

"To actually get you to issue the highest-level emergency mobilization order? Has something happened to her?"

"Almost... Everyone, take a look, this is the report she wrote herself."

Qin Hai did not hide his anger. He quickly scanned the report written by Qin Huanyu using the equipment in the conference room and shared it with the other members:

"She confronted the embodiment of arrogance and almost chose to abandon her humanity... You all should understand what this means, right? And the reason for all this is nothing more than the daughter of a foolish merchant for her own ambition!"

“I sensed discrimination in your words, Watchman, and that worries me.”

The member with the white eagle emblem immediately took over the conversation:

"It's normal for businessmen to pursue profits; ambition is the driving force behind their success. You can't blame all businessmen for the mistake of one. Besides, ignorance is no excuse, and that businessman's daughter certainly didn't know the seriousness of the problem beforehand..."

"Heh, if it weren't for my dear daughter, human civilization might have already disappeared by now. I really hope you'll still have the strength to say that by then."

Qin Hai glared contemptuously at the white eagle, then slammed his fist on the conference table:

"And before you refute my opinion, can't you take a closer look at how serious this matter is?"

"you……"

"enough!"

White Eagle wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Golden Flame Phoenix:

"What's all the fuss about? Have you forgotten our most fundamental purpose? Ensuring the continuation of human civilization is our top priority! Anything that could affect this, whether it's just merchants, nobles, or even royalty, is irrelevant."

The meeting room fell silent immediately. No one spoke for a moment as everyone quietly looked at the materials Qin Hai had shared.

"I agree with the Watcher; this matter must be dealt with swiftly and decisively!"

The first to express their opinion was the member with the lightning bolt icon:

“That foolish merchant’s daughter must die! Even without this foolish act, her collusion with the Truth Society is enough to kill her several times over! I am willing to handle this matter personally and completely destroy Ma Siyan and her family’s business empire!”

"I object!"

The member with the White Eagle icon immediately chimed in:

“Ma Siyan’s behavior was indeed foolish, but that was only because she was unaware of the situation. Moreover, her talent and her business empire play a very important role in the world economy. Complete destruction would cause great economic turmoil, and millions of people directly or indirectly related to her would lose their jobs.”

"That's just a few million people losing their jobs and a temporary economic upheaval. Compared to the disappearance of all human civilization, which is more serious? You can't ignore the seriousness of the problem just because you were lucky enough to avoid problems this time!"

Some people who support Qin Hai have also spoken out.

"Even so, is it necessary to make a big fuss? We can just focus more on prevention in the future. There's no need to cause any more turmoil and unnecessary losses."

The opposition also argued their case once again.

The number of people in the faction that advocated severe punishment and the faction that advocated downplaying the incident was about the same, and both sides' arguments sounded reasonable, so the atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat tense for a moment.

Only when the Golden Flame Phoenix in the main seat coughed again did everyone quiet down, waiting for the Golden Flame Phoenix to make its final decision.

"I understand what you all mean."

Golden Phoenix first scanned the conference room, then finally looked at Qin Hai:

“Give me a reason that can convince me to agree with you… Don’t use reasons like wanting to avenge your daughter; personal grudges won’t do.”

"This is not a personal grudge."

Qin Hai first bowed respectfully to the Golden Flame Phoenix before rising and confidently stating:

"I did this to make an example of someone, so that this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
