The team remained highly cautious, making almost no sound as they ascended three floors without encountering any enemies or being attacked.

When they reached the fourth floor, there was still no unusual activity around them. However, the armed policeman holding an automatic rifle to Qin Huanyu's left suddenly turned his head and looked at her, making eye contact with Qin Huanyu, who was scanning the surroundings.

'There's something wrong with his eyes!'

Any normal man, unless he is gay, would be somewhat amazed when he looks directly at Qin Huanyu; even well-trained armed police and soldiers would be no exception.

During the previous tactical discussions, Qin Huanyu could sense to some extent the amazement and normal fantasies these armed police officers had about her, which confirmed that these officers were likely all of normal orientation.

But now, the armed police officer staring directly at Qin Huanyu's face didn't show any of the normal reaction a man would have when seeing a stunningly beautiful woman. Instead, he seemed to have the kind of anger that an ugly woman feels when she sees her husband or boyfriend being captivated by another beautiful woman.

In short, it's very strange and highly suspicious.

Before her brain could even process the possibility of this happening, Qin Huanyu's training from childhood had already induced her to act.

She suddenly flicked her left hand upwards, and the metal wrist guard struck the barrel of the armed policeman's gun, turning the muzzle that was pointing at her as the officer turned around.

The next instant, gunshots rang out and flames shot out. The armed police officer emptied his magazine without hesitation, firing all 30 bullets in one go.

Fortunately, Qin Huanyu had anticipated this, otherwise this attack would have definitely riddled her with holes.

Worse still, after the gunshots rang out, the other armed police officers did not immediately stop their crazed teammate, but instead went berserk with him.

The two armed police officers at the back of the group almost simultaneously pulled the triggers and fired shotguns at each other, while strangely shouting incomprehensible lines.

"I was the one who knew her first!"

"I should have been the one to receive the award of excellence last year!"

Bang bang bang!

Even though the armed police were wearing bulletproof vests, they could not survive the near-zero-point fire of a shotgun. Two armed police officers at the rear of the column were killed before they even saw the enemy.

The armed police officer who wanted to ambush Qin Huanyu, after realizing that his shot had missed, raised his foot and kicked Qin Huanyu in the abdomen without any mercy.

At the same time, the burly armed police officer at the front of the line also turned to his riot shield, took out an alloy single-handed axe from his waist, and swung it menacingly at the armed police officer who fired the first shot.

Chapter 29 Evil Object

The two armed police officers behind her opened fire so suddenly, and they were out of Qin Huanyu's sight, that Qin Huanyu was powerless to stop them.

However, since Qin Huanyu had already seen the movements of the armed police in front and on both sides, she would certainly not allow them to kill each other again.

The kick aimed at Qin Huanyu's lower abdomen was easily dodged by her body, and landed squarely on the armed police officer who had been standing on the right side of the group.

The armed police officer was clearly not normal either. He was holding his gun, ready to fire, when he was kicked. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell down the stairs with a thud, hitting his head. He lost consciousness as soon as his foot kicked out.

Judging from the sound, the fall must have been quite severe, probably very painful, but it's still better than dying at the hands of a teammate.

At the same time, Qin Huanyu's left arm, which had been raised earlier, swung horizontally to the left, striking the arm of the burly armed policeman in front of her with a technique similar to the one she used to knock Wei Bin's knife away, disarming the armed policeman of his alloy single-handed axe.

Bang.

After the alloy single-handed axe landed, the two armed police officers who had finished their first attack immediately engaged in combat again without stopping.

The armed policeman who initially tried to ambush Qin Huanyu then focused on hitting her, his eyes red and teeth clenched as he did so, as if Qin Huanyu had offended his wife and daughter.

The burly armed policeman who had been at the front of the group ignored Qin Huanyu and focused all his attacks on the other officer who was attacking Qin Huanyu.

So while Qin Huanyu was carefully dealing with the attack from that armed policeman, she also had to protect him from being seriously hit in vital areas by another armed policeman, which was quite exhausting.

Fortunately, Qin Huanyu's combat ability was much higher than that of the armed police, and since she was still conscious and not affected by this strange and extraordinary power, the battle was quickly ended.

She found an opportunity one by one, and used the same tactic she had used against Wei Bin, by continuously pressing on a certain part of the back of the neck of the two armed police officers, causing them to fall into a brief coma due to cerebral ischemia.

After dealing with all her berserk teammates, Qin Huanyu didn't dare to relax for a moment. She gripped the plasma revolver tightly in her right hand to stay alert, while her left hand operated her phone again to check the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment.

Since the enemy would use supernatural powers to launch a surprise attack on Qin Huanyu and her group in this place, it means that they are now very close to the enemy, and they are likely in one of the households on this floor.

Moreover, the enemy's bizarre ability startled Qin Huanyu... If she hadn't been unaffected for some reason, and if only one armed police officer had targeted her, she might have fallen by now.

Logically speaking, at this point, we should retreat and wait for support.

But Qin Huanyu's intuition told her that this was a golden opportunity.

Although the specific reason is unclear, Qin Huanyu seems unaffected by the enemy's abilities, so there is no need to panic too much. At least we should meet the enemy and exchange blows first.

"...This is it, there's no mistake."

Based on the results of environmental element detection by a special software on her phone, Qin Huanyu quickly located the resident of apartment 405, which was not far ahead.

That direction is where all the spiritual energy converges, and the enemy is inside.

Qin Huanyu leaned against the wall, carefully observing her surroundings. She waited patiently for a few more minutes, but still did not see a second wave of enemy attacks or any attempt to escape.

'That maddening, bizarre ability is likely the enemy's only ability; otherwise, it would have attacked me in other ways long ago. After all, I'm the only one left on my side now, and it doesn't need to be as cautious as I am.'

Thinking this, Qin Huanyu still leaned against the wall, picked up the alloy one-handed axe on the ground and held it in her left hand, then slowly approached 405.

No attacks occurred along the way.

Like other residents in this old neighborhood, 405 doesn't have a metal security door, only a dark red wooden door that doesn't look very sturdy. An adult man could easily break it open—a standard door that keeps honest people out but not thieves.

Qin Huanyu smashed the door lock several times with her alloy single-handed axe, breaking it. Then, she lifted her foot, which was covered in black stockings and a tall boot, and kicked the door open.

The moment she kicked open the door, Qin Huanyu didn't rush into the room. Instead, she jumped back to dodge, threw away the alloy single-handed axe in her hand, drew the police automatic pistol from her waist, and fired a series of shots at the door, emptying the magazine.

A few seconds later, Qin Huanyu realized that she seemed to be fighting against thin air. There were no traps or ambushes behind the door, only a broken wooden door and bullet holes in the wall opposite the door, which told the story of Qin Huanyu's violent intrusion.

"..."

The scene looked somewhat comical, but Qin Huanyu wasn't annoyed at all. If she had to do it again, she would still choose to empty the magazine when opening the door, which was the safest approach she had calculated.

After changing the magazine on the police automatic pistol, Qin Huanyu held the gun for shooting people in her left hand and the gun for shooting monsters in her right hand. With her back against the wall, she slowly entered 405. After entering, she quickly found the nearest corner and cautiously surveyed the new environment.

This 405-square-meter apartment is quite spacious. The living room at the entrance alone is at least 30 square meters, and it also has a secondary living room, three bedrooms, as well as a kitchen and bathroom.

The secondary hall was probably used as a dining room, with a large dining table taking up 70% of the space, while all three rooms had their doors tightly closed so that the interiors were not visible.

But there's no need to worry about those three rooms anymore; Qin Huanyu has already found her target.

On one side of the living room window, there was a small altar with some spoiled fruit, several opened packets of spicy snacks, and two ever-burning lotus lamps.

It's obvious that someone has been here recently. To keep the lotus lanterns lit, they even ran an electric wire through the window to power them.

After all, Building No. 3 is a dangerous building. All the residents have moved out long ago, and the water and electricity have been cut off. If you want to use electricity, you have to be an electrician yourself and run the wires in from outside.

Qin Huanyu stared intently at the object placed on the altar.

It was a very strange object, its design somewhat resembling an R18 game figure, with the upper body of a hot woman and the lower body of a spider.

However, its color scheme is clearly not that of a figurine, but rather like that of a Buddha statue, with a layer of gold powder on the surface, giving it a strange and sacred feel at first glance.

Moreover, the golden surface of that thing is now shrouded in a layer of gray mist, which is spiritual essence that is so concentrated that it can be seen with the naked eye.

The strange object being worshipped seemed to be staring intently at Qin Huanyu, whispering faintly in her ear, causing her to momentarily lose her senses. But it was only for a moment, and she quickly ignored the influence.

Chapter 30 is unaffected by effects.

'This thing is definitely an evil artifact!'

Realizing that she had been attacked by the enemy's ability once again, Qin Huanyu did not hesitate for a moment and pulled the trigger with both hands at the same time.

Bang bang!

A 9mm pistol bullet and a plasma ball struck the strange, malevolent object on the altar almost simultaneously.

The plasma cluster was faster, first colliding with the gray mist surrounding the evil entity with a crackling sound, and tearing open a small opening in the spiritual element under the electromagnetic effect.

Then, before the gray fog could automatically repair itself, a 9mm pistol bullet was fired, hitting the very center of the evil creature precisely.

Regardless of whether this thing was a figurine or a Buddha statue before, and regardless of what was inside it, it was quite fragile without the protection of spiritual essence, and it was shattered by this shot.

But Qin Huanyu didn't think she had already killed the enemy; rather, she thought this was just the beginning.

After the evil object shattered, the voice that had been barely a whisper in Qin Huanyu's ear suddenly became louder, more shrill, and clearer.

"How dare you...how dare you!"

With a roar that sounded like an old witch, more gray mist surged from the shattered evil object and coalesced into a strange, pure spirit creature about 1 meter tall, resembling a sheep-headed kangaroo.

Against this kind of enemy, ordinary pistols were ineffective, so Qin Huanyu simply put her police pistol back into her waistband and continued firing only with her plasma revolver.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Five plasma charges hit the kangaroo in succession, each hit causing it to tremble and its frantic roars to become even more shrill.

It's obvious that, although we don't know what kind of monster this thing is, it has a weakness to lightning like most monsters, and plasma bullets are very effective against it.

Unfortunately, Qin Huanyu's revolver could only hold 6 plasma bullets at a time. Even after firing them all in one go, she still couldn't kill the enemy. Qin Huanyu could only be careful of the enemy's counterattack while quickly reloading.

The sheep-headed kangaroo naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die, but it didn't rush towards Qin Huanyu either. Instead, it glared fiercely at Qin Huanyu with blood-red light flashing in its eyes, indicating that it had activated its ability.

Qin Huanyu didn't look away for a moment. She heard the strange whispers again, but this time she didn't feel even the slightest bit of confusion. She successfully loaded the gun and fired again.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Six more plasma clusters were fired, all hitting their targets precisely.

This sheep-headed kangaroo didn't seem very agile; it barely moved at all, just standing still and taking the damage.

It seemed to be in a lot of pain, its cries were extremely shrill and unbelievable:

"Aaaaaah... This is impossible! How can you be completely unaffected by me? Don't you ever feel jealous? Are you even human?"

'envy?'

Qin Huanyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but couldn't help but smile.

"I see. So this is the truth behind your abilities... You amplify the jealousy in people's hearts to make them lose their minds, and even control them to some extent."

"That's why those armed police officers were basically killing each other, while only one person kept me in check from beginning to end... even though I was clearly the team leader no matter how you looked at it."

"It's not that you don't want to control them to ambush and kill me first, it's that you can't, because it's hard for a man to feel jealous of a beautiful woman he has just met... Such feelings are more likely to arise between men who are already familiar with each other."

'But that armed police officer who kept staring at me was a bit strange. Could it be that this grown man actually has a girlish heart? Is he jealous of my beauty?'

While speaking and thinking, Qin Huanyu's hands never stopped. After quickly loading the bullets, she fired six more plasma bullets, all of which hit the sheep-headed kangaroo.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The sheep-headed kangaroo screamed in agony, and then glared at Qin Huanyu several times, still unwilling to give up, continuing to try its abilities, but all its attempts failed.

"Don't waste your energy, it's just some unknown weirdo."

Qin Huanyu chuckled and continued loading plasma bullets into her revolver, preparing to shoot the sheep-headed kangaroo to death right there.

She had observed it very thoroughly. Although the kangaroo's abilities were strange, its strength and speed were very weak. It couldn't even walk like a newborn baby.

The damage from plasma bombs to the sheep-headed kangaroo was obvious. After more than 20 rounds, the kangaroo had been reduced from a pure spirit to a jelly-like semi-solid, trembling uncontrollably. It could barely move a few steps before crumbling into dust.

Just now, the sheep-headed kangaroo tried to escape by taking advantage of its spiritual nature, but it tripped and fell flat on its face after only a few steps, and was kicked back by Qin Huanyu.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Unable to fight back or escape, the sheep-headed kangaroo was driven to a helpless rage:

"Why! Why don't you feel even a trace of jealousy...? That's one of humanity's original sins, how could you be like that?"

Why should I be jealous of others?

Qin Huanyu tilted her head dismissively:

“I am the smartest and most beautiful woman, why would I be jealous of others? I have a happy family and childhood, I don’t lack money, and I can choose the job I like… I’m sorry, I really can’t think of any reason why I would be jealous of others.”

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

After Qin Huanyu finished speaking, she fired another round of plasma bullets, bringing the sheep-headed kangaroo closer to its physical form. Its breath became even weaker, clearly indicating that its health was almost depleted.

'Two more rounds at most, and it'll be finished.'

Thinking this, Qin Huanyu reached for the small pouch containing plasma bullets, wanting to reload the revolver, but suddenly froze.

The small pouch was empty; all the plasma bombs they had brought had been used up, yet they still hadn't completely killed the sheep-headed kangaroo.

This sheep-headed kangaroo is quite resilient. According to the research institute's tests, an ordinary vengeful spirit would be destroyed after being hit by two or three plasma bullets, but this sheep-headed kangaroo was hit by a full 41 bullets and was not completely eliminated.

'This is bad.'

Feeling miserable, Qin Huanyu could only draw her ordinary pistol again and shoot the sheep-headed kangaroo, while searching the room for furniture that could be used as weapons.

Too bad it's totally useless.

Despite being hit by two magazines of ordinary bullets and then repeatedly beaten by Qin Huanyu with stool legs and fists, the kangaroo's aura did not weaken further; in fact, it even recovered somewhat.

"Ha ha!"
