Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

In this situation, Ma Siyan had no better options. Her financial expertise was useless in the face of state-level violence. She had done all she could, and all that was left was to pray.

However, her prayers went unanswered.

As thunder suddenly rumbled outside the carriage and the carriage began to fall, Ma Siyan's heart turned completely cold... Her worst fears had come true.

She quickly opened the window of the RV and looked outside. She saw a short-haired woman in a black trench coat floating in the air ahead, her body crackling with electricity.

The woman looked to be only in her early 30s, but Ma Siyan knew very well that this woman was definitely more than 30 years old, and that 30 years old was probably just a fraction of her age, because she herself looked to be in her early 30s when she participated in the Great Patriotic War.

This person is Lei Mingming, one of the strongest superhumans in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, one of the four first-rank demon-slaying guards of the photo studio, and one of the three current deputy directors of the 404 Investigation Bureau.

The Wind God, who had transformed into the wind, had already formed half of his body in front of the carriage, manipulating the violent airflow to launch an attack on Lei Mingming from the front, trying to break through Lei Mingming's interception.

But it's totally useless.

Under Lei Mingming's control, the electric current spiraled around her, and the electromagnetic field, similar to the solenoid effect, became her strongest shield against spiritual energy. Feng Bo's airflow could not even reach Lei Mingming and was left with less than one percent of its power, not even enough to blow away the sweat of an ordinary person.

Having probably noticed Ma Siyan's peeking through the window, Lei Mingming sneered in Ma Siyan's direction, then stretched out his palm, clenched it tightly, and pressed it down.

First, all the electronic equipment inside the carriage short-circuited and burned out. Then, the carriage could no longer resist the force of gravity and fell vertically from the high ground.

Feng Bo could no longer afford to attack Lei Mingming. He quickly transformed into wind to protect the carriage, which saved Ma Siyan from being smashed to pieces when the carriage hit the ground.

But Ma Siyan couldn't be happy at all; she knew that her chances of survival this time were almost zero.

Lei Mingming quickly swooped down and attacked, but Feng Bo, true to his word and honorable, still went to meet him despite knowing he was no match, using all his strength to temporarily entangle Lei Mingming.

But Ma Siyan knew that Feng Bo was no match for Lei Mingming. Her only hope of survival was to take this opportunity to run away and hide, hoping that Lei Mingming would not be able to find her.

For this reason, Ma Siyan no longer cared about maintaining her image as a successful woman. She threw away her high heels and tore her skirt in half from the side. Wearing only flesh-colored stockings, she ran wildly through the fallen forest, not caring that her shirt and stockings were torn by tree branches. She just wanted to get as far away as possible and hide.

However, it was completely useless.

Having no idea how long or how far she had run, Ma Siyan soon heard the thunder that filled her with helplessness and fear again, sweeping overhead.

Lei Mingming slowly landed in front of Ma Siyan and threw out a half-charred corpse, which was none other than Feng Bo, whom Ma Siyan relied on as her trump card.

"...You guys won."

At this point, Ma Siyan was quite decisive. Exhausted from running, she didn't resist and simply lay down on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

"Kill me... but don't expect me to admit my mistake! If I had another chance, I would still make the same choice! No one can resist the temptation of power! No one! Hahahaha..."

"...I'd rather just kill you."

Lei Mingming looked at Ma Siyan with disdain for a while before walking over and grabbing her by the back of the neck, lifting her up with a look of utter disgust.

"But unfortunately, you have one last thing to do... use your pain and wailing to quell the anger of a father who almost lost his daughter."

Chapter 144 You young people really know how to have fun.

Qin Huanyu was called out of the laboratory.

After emerging from seclusion, Qin Huanyu felt as if she had been transported to another world. She had only been in seclusion for a few days when the behemoth that was Benteng Group was gone, dissolved without warning.

More than 7% of middle and senior managers were arrested for various crimes, only a little over 1% of the management team escaped unscathed, and more than 1% simply vanished without a trace, with the official explanation being that they all fled to avoid punishment and their whereabouts are unknown.

All of the group's assets were sold off at bargain prices, acquired by other domestic companies or state-owned enterprises at 50% below market value. Most of the money from the sale was distributed to ordinary employees as wages and unemployment benefits, while the remainder was used to pay for goods and repay bank loans.

The entire process was swift and decisive, with many operations involving the military, easily defeating some of the group's management who still wanted to resist or flee.

The collapse of such a behemoth will certainly cause some turmoil, but it will be much smaller than Qin Huanyu expected, and the process will be much faster.

This made Qin Huanyu realize that the powerful nation that once possessed half the Earth was indeed formidable. Once it got serious, the so-called giants that were touted as divine in many science fiction works were utterly vulnerable.

However, Qin Huanyu soon had no time to reflect, because a distinguished guest came to the Ling Su Research Institute, specifically asking for her by name. This was also the reason why she was called out during her closed-door research.

Qin Huanyu met the distinguished guest at the bar of the small coffee shop in the research institute's rest area.

She was a rather dashing short-haired woman, wearing a black, tight-fitting leather outfit in the style of an undercover female investigator, with a short cape on her back bearing a golden lightning bolt symbol.

Qin Huanyu recognized this woman. Although it was the first time she had seen her in person, she had read about her many times before.

"Deputy Director."

Qin Huanyu quickened her pace and jogged to the bar to personally refill the customers' cups of coffee before sitting down herself.

"I didn't expect you to come in person."

The guest was none other than Lei Mingming, the deputy director of the Investigation Bureau. She took the coffee that Qin Huanyu had personally poured for her, took a small sip, and then smiled warmly and said:

"There's no way around it, after all, it concerns the embodiment of original sin, so we can't take it lightly... Speaking of which, you're really amazing. You dealt with jealousy before you even officially joined the company, and now you've even taken down arrogance."

"No, no, no, compared to you, Deputy Director, they're far inferior."

Qin Huanyu waved her hands humbly:

"That time with the Incarnation of Envy, they were just lucky. The Incarnation of Envy they encountered was like a premature chick that hadn't even hatched yet. Its abilities couldn't compare to the mature Incarnation of Original Sin. It could be electrocuted with alternating current."

"And this time, encountering the embodiment of arrogance... to be honest, it was very dangerous. There was a certain element of luck in winning. I was almost forced to become inhuman."

"Luck is also a kind of strength, so don't underestimate yourself. I still have high hopes for you, this outstanding junior... After all, I'm getting old, and the future belongs to you young people."

Lei Mingming patted Qin Huanyu on the shoulder.

"Hehe, not at all, Deputy Director, you're still very young."

Qin Huanyu quickly flattered him, saying:

"If you go shopping with me, you'll look exactly like my older sister."

"Hahaha... You're quite the talker, and with how adorable you are, I think I understand why Dr. Qin became such a doting father."

Lei Mingming smiled and took another sip of his coffee.

“I can certainly call myself someone who has mastered the art of preserving my youthful appearance, but a person’s lifespan is ultimately limited. No matter how much I look like your sister, I could actually be your grandmother’s grandmother by now… But I’m already very gratified to see such an outstanding new generation like you grow up.”

"Okay."

Seeing Qin Huanyu open her mouth as if to say something, Lei Mingming interrupted her directly and said seriously:

"It's precisely because I know my days are numbered that I want to do as much as possible before my actual end comes... I'm very busy, and I didn't come here to chat with you, you understand?"

"clear."

Qin Huanyu also became serious:

"Please feel free to tell me what you need, and I will do my best to help."

"Yes, my main target here this time is of course you."

Lei Mingming finished the rest of his coffee in one gulp and stood up from his stool:

"Let's go, take me to see that embodiment of arrogance first."

"it is good."

Qin Huanyu, of course, would not refuse, and led Lei Mingming into the depths of the research institute.

Although Qin Huanyu was confident that she had completely neutralized the Arrogant Avatar, she could not be too careful with such a dangerous being, which was second only to the four strongest freaks. Therefore, Qin Huanyu did not let Sherry run around in the research institute, but instead locked her in a completely isolated laboratory.

The laboratory is about 15 square meters in size. Qin Huanyu moved some of the original experimental equipment to other places. Now the layout here is no different from a pet room. There is a wooden doghouse in the corner with a few dog toys. In front of the doghouse are two metal basins. One basin is half full of milk, and the other basin is piled with more than a dozen egg yolk pies.

"...You really treat it like a dog?"

Even though Lei Mingming had lived for over 100 years and seen many grand occasions, he was still somewhat dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

"It's my dog ​​now!"

Qin Huanyu gave a rather smug snort and waved to the gray husky that was sleeping in its doghouse:

"Come on, Shirley, say hello to the deputy director."

"Wang!"

Shirley immediately came running over, stood up in front of Lei Mingming, and stretched out one paw as if to shake hands.

"Stupid dog!"

Before Lei Mingming could react, Qin Huanyu reached out and tapped Shirley on the head:

"Is this how a dog should greet someone? Try again!"

"Wang?"

Shirley tilted her head, looking somewhat confused.

Then it lay down again, thought for a moment, and then ran around Lei Mingming once. It lay down at Lei Mingming's feet and its big tail wagged happily.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Qin Huanyu nodded in satisfaction, then untied the lace of one boot, removed her foot, which was encased in black stockings, from the boot shaft, and stretched it out in front of Shirley:

"Here's your reward, lick it."

"Woof! Hahahaha..."

Shirley wagged her tail even more enthusiastically and stuck out her tongue to accept the reward.

"..."

Lei Mingming watched all this silently, his eyes flashing with silver-blue lightning.

Only after Shirley had licked Qin Huanyu's socks completely wet, and then rolled over and lay on the ground to dry Qin Huanyu's feet with the soft fur on her belly, did Lei Mingming withdraw the electric glint from his eyes and let out a long sigh:

"Alright, I can assume that the embodiment of arrogance is harmless for now... but you must keep a close eye on it, understand? Just like when a dog causes trouble, the owner has to pay compensation. Since you chose to keep it by your side instead of completely eliminating it, you have to be responsible for it."

"Don't worry, Deputy Director, it has no chance."

Qin Huanyu appeared very confident:

"Because it's not a real dog after all... A dog might rebel against its owner when it gets angry, but a machine can never rebel against the highest level of access that writes into its core code! It's essentially the same as a clone that I can remotely control right now, so it has absolutely no chance to mess around."

"Oh? It's now essentially your clone?"

Lei Mingming raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at Qin Huanyu with a half-smile:

"So you were just playing with yourself like a dog, stepping on yourself and licking your own black stockings? Tsk tsk tsk... You really are a young person of the new era, you know how to have fun."

"I'm not! I... *gulp*"

Qin Huanyu blushed instantly, eager to explain, but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, okay~~"

Lei Mingming waved his hand dismissively:

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of old-fashioned person who can't accept new things. Young people have a lot of work pressure, so they may have some strange hobbies, which I can understand... Let's go to your room. There are some very important things I need to ask you personally."

"Gulp... Okay."

Qin Huanyu actually wanted to explain, but she knew that the more she explained, the less clear things would become, so she could only skip it and blushed as she led Lei Mingming to her room.

Inviting Lei Mingming to sit down at the table, Qin Huanyu brought her a bottle of green tea from the refrigerator, and then took out a plate of snacks consisting of milk candy and preserved plums before asking:

"So, is there anything else, Deputy Director?"

"...This matter is very important, extremely important."

Lei Mingming didn't drink green tea or eat snacks. Instead, he snapped his fingers, and silver-blue electric light enveloped the entire room, as if creating a new space.

"This is... the Ghost Realm?"

Qin Huanyu activated her Mathematical Eyes and observed for a moment before exclaiming in surprise.

"It is indeed a derivative ability that I developed inspired by the Ghost Realm, but it would be more appropriate to call it a domain."

Lei Mingming explained, his expression serious, staring at Qin Huanyu as he said, word by word:

“You’re a reasonable and good kid, so I’ll be frank… My most important purpose in coming here this time is to confirm that you are truly in control of the Pride Incarnate, rather than the Pride Incarnate controlling you to act… You understand, right?”

"Understandable."

Qin Huanyu sighed, not surprised at all:

"So? How do you need my cooperation?"

"It's very simple. Just tell me all the information you got from the incarnation of arrogance, in person, face to face."

Lei Mingming smiled again, his attitude becoming much more amiable:

“I personally still trust you, but this is a necessary procedure... I have to be responsible for my job and for this country.”

"Information about the embodiment of arrogance?"

Qin Huanyu was somewhat puzzled:

"Didn't I already write everything in the report? That report took me a whole night to write. You've already taken action against Benteng Group and Ma Siyan, so you should know that what's written in the report is true, right?"
