Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

So where do you put this reconnaissance drone when it's not in use? Obviously, the best choice is still that alloy tentacle.

So, under Nangong Yue's curious gaze, Qin Huanyu unsealed the alloy tentacles and briefly explained their functions and her own thoughts.

Nangong Yue was clearly a decisive person at work. She immediately opened the special software on her computer and began designing blueprints, while constantly seeking Qin Huanyu's opinions.

The two of them huddled together like elementary school kids playing games on a computer, whispering to each other for most of the day under Yi Youyou's rather jealous but helpless gaze.

By the time the three left the Qinglan Research Institute in the evening, the design blueprints for Qin Huanyu's personal drone were basically complete... Nangong Yue said that if they were lucky, Qin Huanyu would be able to use this new type of drone when the princess was choosing her consort.

This drone is about the size of an anti-inflammatory capsule. When not in use, Qin Huanyu can install it on the alloy tentacles to charge it, and launch it to perform reconnaissance missions when needed. When fully charged, this capsule drone can last for up to 6 hours.

It's actually a modified version of an insect drone, only designed to be more suitable for Qin Huanyu's size and shape.

. . . . .

When she got home, Yi Youyou didn't seem very happy. It was obvious that Qin Huanyu had spent the whole day having technical exchanges with Nangong Yue, leaving her aside, which made her jealous again.

To appease Yi Youyou, Qin Huanyu didn't wait for Yi Youyou to speak that night. After taking a shower, she obediently handcuffed herself to the bed and let Yi Youyou punish her.

But Yi Youyou was clearly not idle during the day when she was bored... She came up with a new way to play, but simply handcuffing Qin Huanyu and brushing the soles of her feet with an electric toothbrush was no longer enough for her.

"Hehe...I want you to do this, Ayu..."

After Yi Youyou whispered a few words in her ear, Qin Huanyu suddenly realized what was happening. As she looked at Yi Youyou with a strange gaze, her own cheeks flushed.

Yi Youyou's new idea wasn't too difficult, but she was extremely shy about it.

In short, Yi Youyou was sitting on the sofa, while Qin Huanyu was lying on her lap, being spanked by Yi Youyou while writing a self-criticism on paper and pen on the sofa.

Although Qin Huanyu didn't feel she had anything to reflect on, she agreed because she wanted to make Yi Youyou happy and because her own body was already slightly feverish and she was quite interested in the new game.

(The punishment game is in progress...)

At night, the two, exhausted from playing, snuggled together and slept soundly. Qin Huanyu wrapped one arm around Yi Youyou's waist from below, while Yi Youyou rested one arm on Qin Huanyu's body.

"Ok?"

Just as she was sleeping soundly, Qin Huanyu suddenly frowned and woke up with a start.

After taking over the Church of Arrogance, Qin Huanyu, like when managing the Jade Network, filtered out most of the useless messages, but still chose to receive some key information.

Just now, Qin Huanyu received a very strange message, which startled her awake from her dream.

It was Lei Mingming. Following Qin Huanyu's clues, she found a diplomat from the Holy Zhou Kingdom who had been controlled by the embodiment of arrogance, and through this diplomat, she contacted the Truth Society.

Although Qin Huanyu had long guessed that Lei Mingming would do this, the fact that he would do it at such a crucial time, when the princess was about to choose her consort, was somewhat unexpected.

As she lay in bed, her heart pounded, and she had a bad feeling.

"...What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Yi Youyou could even feel the heartbeat through the touch of her arm. After opening her eyes, she looked at Qin Huanyu with some concern for a while, then kissed the corner of her mouth and asked with concern.

"I should be fine...but..."

Qin Huanyu hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask her husband's opinion:

“You know far more about those important figures than I do… Do you think there’s any possibility that Deputy Director Lei might have betrayed us?”

"Absolutely impossible!"

Yi Youyou answered almost without thinking:

"She is the kind of most loyal warrior. No matter what kind of desperate situation she faces, she will fight to the last moment for the Holy Zhou Kingdom!"

Chapter 154 Black Turtle

"The most loyal... warrior?"

Qin Huanyu tightened her grip on Yi Youyou's hand, murmured, and nodded gently.

She neither opposed nor doubted Yi Youyou's opinion. She had already read about Lei Mingming many times before. This powerful superhuman who had served the Holy Zhou Kingdom for more than a hundred years was not only extremely loyal himself, but his entire family was also martyrs... He was no less than the famous Yang family generals and Yue family army in history.

Lei Mingming's father, husband, son, and daughter all sacrificed their lives in the war to defend the country. Because of this, she constantly felt sorrow and grew stronger until she became one of the strongest in the Holy Zhou Kingdom. She used her angry thunder to tear apart countless enemies of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and her merits were too numerous to count.

It's truly hard to imagine that someone like her would be a traitor.

Even so, it is still very suspicious that Lei Mingming would take the initiative to contact the Truth Society at this crucial time when the princess is about to choose a consort, get married, and ascend the throne.

However, whether it was the Lei Mingming she knew from the information or the Lei Mingming she had met and talked with in person, Qin Huanyu did not believe that she would betray her, nor did she want to believe it.

So Qin Huanyu changed her perspective.

Assuming Lei Mingming would never betray them, why would she choose to contact Zhenli at this particular time?

There are two possibilities.

Firstly, the crucial moment of the princess's selection of consorts and her succession to the throne was undoubtedly a very good opportunity for the Truth Society to cause trouble. So Lei Mingming took the initiative to contact them, offering a sweet trap to lure the Truth Society into an ambush and strike hard, preferably wiping out the high-ranking members in one fell swoop.

This seems to be the most likely possibility, but the Truth Society isn't stupid either. Lei Mingming's loyalty to the Holy Zhou Kingdom is well-known. Would they easily believe Lei Mingming's words and fall into a trap? What if they turn the tables on him, saying one thing in public and another in private, and actually cause something big?

Therefore, Qin Huanyu is more inclined to the second possibility, which has a lower probability on the surface.

Lei Mingming did indeed seek cooperation with the Truth Society, and she was able to gain their trust.

Because the enemies of the Holy Zhou Kingdom are not only the Truth Society, and the enemies of the Truth Society are not only the Holy Zhou Kingdom. The bizarre cannot exist independently of human civilization, and the Truth Society has never intended to destroy human civilization and replace it. Their purpose is to make everyone aware of the existence of extraordinary power, thereby absorbing more human fantasies and thoughts, and giving birth to more of their kind.

In that case... it's indeed possible that Lei Mingming and Zhenli will cooperate.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Qin Huanyu had been frowning and deep in thought for a long time without saying a word, Yi Youyou couldn't fall asleep either, so she simply propped herself up with her hands and looked at Qin Huanyu from above.

"……Is such that."

Qin Huanyu thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything, telling Yi Youyou about the matter and her suspicions, and seeking her opinion:

"Youyou, you grew up in the capital and have come into contact with many important people. Your maternal grandmother and Deputy Director Lei are old friends and comrades-in-arms, so you definitely know Deputy Director Lei better than I do... What do you think about this matter?"

"So that's what happened..."

Yi Youyou frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said:

"Does Deputy Director Lei know that you can control the affairs of the Arrogant Cult at any time?"

"know."

Qin Huanyu nodded:

“I told her everything when she came to Baiguang City to question me last time.”

"Then there shouldn't be any problem."

Yi Youyou breathed a sigh of relief:

"She knew you would find out about her actions, which means she's not afraid of you knowing... I can't judge the exact reason, but we can trust her."

"So, is there anything we need to do?"

Qin Huanyu tentatively asked:

"For example, tell your grandmother about this? Have the Treasure Pavilion prepare more backup plans? Deputy Director Lei should know about our relationship. Since she's not afraid of me finding out my whereabouts, she must have considered the possibility that I might consult you?"

"No, you can't tell my grandma!"

However, Yi Youyou refused without even thinking:

“My grandmother is an extremely steady person and hates these kinds of risky plans the most… If she knew about it, she would definitely try to stop it, no matter what Deputy Director Lei’s purpose is.”

"Ah this..."

Qin Huanyu was quite surprised:

"So we just do nothing?"

"Hmm... let's not make any rash moves yet."

Yi Youyou thought for a while before offering her opinion and guess:

"If I'm not mistaken, Deputy Director Lei will come to see you in the next couple of days. She might reveal some of her thoughts to you, or even try to win you over to help her... You can try to find out her real plan before making a decision."

. . . . .

Yi Youyou's prediction was correct.

The next day, Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou, who had slept until they naturally woke up, went to the Yi family compound after lunch. They visited Yi Youyou's old house and then went to one of the largest luxury shopping malls in the capital to do some shopping, buying a lot of beautiful dresses and boots.

After shopping, the two were eating Sichuan pepper boiled fish in a restaurant on the top floor of the mall when an uninvited third party joined them.

The person who arrived was Lei Mingming.

She looked to be under 40 years old and acted very naturally, sitting down at an empty seat at the two women's table as if they were friends who had arranged to meet her. She asked the waiter for a set of cutlery, ate a few pieces of fish, and drank a small bowl of fish soup before slowly speaking:

"Actually, I don't want to disturb your happy time together as young people, but this matter is really important, so I need to borrow Yu'er... You two can continue your lovey-dovey relationship once the selection of concubines officially begins."

"I understand."

Having anticipated this, Qin Huanyu naturally wouldn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, she made her first attempt:

"I've already discussed what happened last night with Youyou... Is it okay for Youyou's grandmother to know about that, Deputy Director Lei?"

"It doesn't matter."

Lei Mingming appeared quite unconcerned:

“That stubborn old woman Qiu Shui will definitely not agree with me… And aren’t you underestimating her a bit? Do you think she won’t know if you don’t tell her about this? But it’s no use even if she knows. My mind is made up, and no one can stop me.”

"Ah this... okay."

More in-depth topics were clearly not suitable to be discussed in a restaurant, so Qin Huanyu nodded, temporarily suppressing her doubts, and continued eating her fish.

After dinner, Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou openly shared a passionate kiss goodbye in front of Lei Mingming. Afterwards, Yi Youyou drove home by herself, while Qin Huanyu got into Lei Mingming's car.

Lei Mingming didn't say a word while driving, and with a very comfortable posture, he controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and soon drove the car from a hidden corner of an underground parking garage into an underground tunnel.

Qin Huanyu recognized the underground tunnel. After a moment's examination, she realized it was the same tunnel she had walked through when she and Ling came to the capital to collect their reward from the Royal Treasury.

"...Are we heading to the Royal Treasury, Deputy Director?"

Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment but couldn't hold back any longer:

"Is it time to receive the top-tier reward for dealing with the incarnation of arrogance?"

"This tunnel leads to more than just the Royal Treasury."

Lei Mingming smiled very amiably:

"Your reward is indeed coming soon, but not tonight, it should be tomorrow... I'll take you to see His Majesty tomorrow. It's a bit late today, and I want her to rest early. Although she also possesses the power of a hero, she is, after all, over a hundred years old, so it's better for her to go to bed early and get up early."

"Yeah……"

Qin Huanyu quickly echoed:

"It's important that Your Majesty gets some rest; it doesn't matter if my reward is delayed by a day or two."

"You really are a very well-behaved child. The Watcher was absolutely right."

Lei Mingming muttered something under his breath that made Qin Huanyu somewhat puzzled.

Who is the Watcher? Is it someone close to her?

Just as I was about to ask, Lei Mingming suddenly turned the steering wheel, causing the car to instantly complete a fishtailing right-angle turn inside the tunnel, entering another side road and continuing to descend at a certain angle.

"hiss……"

Qin Huanyu couldn't help but shiver. From the moment she turned onto this side road, she had a strange feeling in her body, like being cold, and she even got goosebumps.

But it's summer now, and the temperature in the underground tunnel is definitely over 20 degrees Celsius. Qin Huanyu is not afraid of the cold anymore and can wear crop tops and short skirts in the freezing cold... but now she's freezing and has goosebumps all over her body?

"It's okay, this is normal, just bear with it for a bit."

Lei Mingming tilted his head and observed Qin Huanyu for a few seconds, a barely perceptible sigh flashing in his eyes, before smiling and reassuring her, explaining:

"After all, this is the place where it was sealed. We used a lot of methods. Some superhumans feel uncomfortable here because of the conflict between their spiritual attributes. For example, you feel cold, while others feel so hot that they want to take off their clothes and run wildly."

"That's it..."

Qin Huanyu kept taking deep breaths, adjusting her state to adapt to the cold.

Based on Lei Mingming's words, she also had a guess about their destination:

"Deputy Director, are you taking me to see the Xuan Turtle?"

"good."

Lei Mingming did not deny it, and chuckled softly again:

"After that guy was sealed away, your father spent almost two years studying it here. Don't you want to see one of the four most powerful monsters in legend?"
