Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"How many people are still at high probability of undergoing a witch transformation?"

“19 of them. They are all students from Shendu University, and they all showed signs of transformation after watching your academic seminar.”

Sima Dan gave the answer almost without hesitation:

"The probability of 11 of them undergoing transformation is over 80%, which will basically happen within this week. We are ready to contact them at any time."

"What is the male-to-female ratio?" Qin Huanyu asked again.

"It's probably around 3 to 7, with more girls."

After Sima Dan finished speaking, he hesitated slightly before continuing:

"Because Commander Qin, you are just too beautiful. Any boy with a normal orientation will find it hard to simply admire you. More or less, they will have some personal desires... This personal desire will become the biggest obstacle to whether they can complete their final transformation."

"I see... Actually, it's fine. It just feels a bit strange to turn too many men into beautiful girls."

After Qin Huanyu finished speaking, she thought for a moment and then said:

"What is the military's view on the Witch Transformers?"

"Of course, the more the better."

Sima Dan shrugged, a wry smile playing on his lips.

"In fact, several generals have contacted me privately. They hope that we can relax our requirements a little and mass-produce witch mutants as soon as possible... They said that it would be best if every special operations team of the Holy Zhou Kingdom's military had at least one witch mutant as its captain."

"Mass-produced witch metamorphosis beings..."

Qin Huanyu frowned slightly, and subconsciously tugged at her black stockings. After thinking for a while, she sighed softly:

"Actually, the generals' thoughts are understandable. The current international situation is turbulent, and a second war that could sweep the world could break out at any time. Under such circumstances, it is definitely the right thing to do to improve the military strength of our Holy Zhou Kingdom as much as possible. As for the witch's transformation... well, it is probably the safest and most stable way to mass-produce superhumans at present."

"So, Commander Qin, what you mean is...?"

Sima Dan asked tentatively.

"Let's wait until the 11 people you're observing have all completed their transformation before we talk about it."

Qin Huanyu thought for a moment and said:

"If they all complete their witch transformation without any adverse reactions, I will propose to expand the Jade Network. At the same time, I will take the time to visit other prestigious universities in the country and conduct public academic discussions with them as an associate professor at Shendu University. This should earn me a lot of admiration again, making them all potential witch transformants... As long as they can connect to the Jade Network, they should all have a high probability of completing their transformation."

"Yes, Commander Qin."

Sima Dan saluted, which was considered a formal acceptance of the order.

. . . . .

Qin Huanyu originally planned to meet with the 11 witches who had undergone psychological counseling before returning to Baiguang City with Qin Hai, but an unexpected message disrupted her plans.

After a long time, Qin Huanyu's work phone rang again late at night, and as soon as the call was answered, it was Xiao Liu's slightly panicked voice:

"Sister Yu, something terrible has happened!"

"I'm perfectly fine... What's wrong? Don't panic, tell me slowly."

Qin Huanyu muttered a complaint under her breath, then gave Yi Youyou, who had also woken up, a reassuring look to tell her not to worry. She jumped out of bed, her hot body clad only in black stockings, and walked to the window to bask in the bright moonlight.

"What happened? Haven't Miss Zhe Yuan been helping to resolve the supernatural cases that have recently come up in Baiguang City? And Monk Hua and Sister Ling'er are always there to provide support. Why are you so panicked?"

"...That's why I panicked. They couldn't handle it either."

Xiao Liu gave a wry smile on the other end of the phone:

"Moreover, they are probably in dire straits themselves right now. I had no other choice but to contact you, Sister Yu, in the middle of the night."

"What? Ling'er, the Flower Monk, and Miss Zheyuan have all messed up?"

Qin Huanyu was genuinely surprised and somewhat worried:

"what's going on?"

"Is such that……"

Xiao Liu tried to keep it brief:

"Hasn't Miss Bai Ling been investigating the mastermind behind the case of that female college student's ghost? After the archaeological work at Nanhu was completed after the New Year, she started investigating that matter again, and this time it seems she has made a big discovery. Even several supernatural cases in our Baiguang City are related to this mastermind."

"However, although this investigation has uncovered a great deal, it has also alarmed the other side. Miss Bai Ling discovered that the other side is very strong, so she called on Master Cheng Hai and Miss Zhe Yuan to help. The military and armed police also mobilized a lot of forces."

"The two sides fought a great battle deep in Qingzhao Mountain. We had an absolute advantage. The enemy organization was scattered, and a small number of its main forces escaped into a ghost realm."

"I'm not quite sure about the specific regulations of your Investigation Bureau, Sister Yu. Anyway, after the Ghost Realm appeared, Master Cheng Hai and Miss Bai Ling hesitated. They wanted to wait for reinforcements from higher-ups before taking action... It seems that the Ghost Realm is very dangerous, and ordinary members of the Investigation Bureau cannot easily enter alone?"

"Yes, most ghost realms are inhabited by a lord of the ghost realm, a formidable enemy that ordinary investigators cannot defeat. Therefore, exploring ghost realms requires a patrol officer to lead the team, and missions involving ghost realms are generally classified as at least Class B missions by the Investigation Bureau."

Qin Huanyu gave a brief explanation, then asked:

"What happened next? Did something else happen that allowed them to go in anyway? And why was there no response for such a long time?"

"Yes, Sister Yu, you guessed it all right."

Xiao Liu smiled wryly:

"During the battle and investigation, Miss Zheyuan suddenly made a discovery—the mastermind that Miss Bailing caught this time seems to be related to the case of Miss Zheyuan's entire family being murdered years ago. So Miss Zheyuan immediately became anxious. She didn't want to wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action, saying that she was worried that the enemy would escape through other exits of the Ghost Realm, and immediately chased after them."

"After Miss Zheyuan went in, Miss Bailing and Master Chenghai were worried about her being alone, so after a moment's hesitation, they also entered the Ghost Realm... However, before entering, Master Chenghai instructed us that if there was no news after more than two hours, I should immediately contact Sister Yu for help."

"So that's it..."

Qin Huanyu frowned, but didn't really blame Miss Zhe Yuan for being impulsive.

It's only natural that anyone would be unsettled if a clue suddenly appeared about the murderer who wiped out an entire family.

Moreover, the most important thing now is not to pursue accountability, but to complete the support as soon as possible and at the same time catch the mastermind behind it all.

"Little Liu, you must have been involved in the whole operation this time, right? How much do you know about the gang behind the scenes?" Qin Huanyu asked again.

"...I don't know much either. I only heard it from Miss Bai Ling. After all, I'm just an ordinary police officer without any supernatural powers, and I couldn't participate in the front-line battle."

Xiao Liu tried very hard to recall:

"All I know is that this time the enemy is a gang, and their stronghold is deep in Qingzhao Mountain. Their main force consists of a large number of cannibals, as well as some other ancient demons... The most common modern monsters are not seen. This is what the armed police and soldiers who have fought against the enemy said."

"In addition, Miss Bai Ling said that the leader of the enemy is a human sorcerer who looks like a bewitching young woman. She calls herself An Lushan and is the successor of the great demon king An Lushan, but we don't know if she is related to An Lushan... However, she is quite strong. It took Miss Zhe Yuan, Master Cheng Hai and Miss Bai Ling working together to barely defeat her."

"It took Miss Zheyuan, Sister Ling'er, and the Flower Monk to join forces to barely defeat her? Then this woman is indeed quite strong."

Qin Huanyu frowned slightly.

Miss Zheyuan herself has the combat power of an Inspector, Bai Ling's attack power after obtaining the Jade Spirit Sword is even stronger than that of an ordinary Inspector, and Cheng Hai was once the strongest of the three members of the 11th Squad.

Regardless of whether An Lushan and An Lushan are actually related, she is definitely a very powerful and dangerous sorcerer who must be taken seriously.

After quickly thinking it over, Qin Huanyu gave the order to Xiao Liu:

"Have the armed police and soldiers continue to seal off the entrance to the Ghost Realm. Don't make any rash moves. I will personally come to support you soon."

"Understood, Sister Yu."

Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found his pillar of support, and was no longer flustered.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Huanyu immediately started getting dressed.

However, Yi Youyou had already gotten up when she answered the phone, and she came over and took her hand:

"Another troublesome case that you need to handle personally? Should I go help out?"

“...I’m happy that you’re willing to help, but you shouldn’t make me worry more in your current state, Youyou.”

Qin Huanyu gently shook her head and touched Yi Youyou's lower abdomen, which still showed no signs of infection.

"Stay in the capital and rest during your pregnancy. Don't make me worry. That's the biggest help you can give me."

"It hasn't even been 3 months yet."

Yi Youyou pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied:

"Actually, it doesn't affect my actions at all... At worst, I won't participate in close combat; I can just provide fire support from a distance using the Jade Umbrella."

"That won't do! The battlefield is still very dangerous!"

Qin Huanyu rolled her eyes, then quickly kissed Yi Youyou's cheek:

"Don't worry, just wait for me in the capital... It's just a ghost realm, I'm already a pro at handling these kinds of Class B cases. Go back to sleep, and you'll probably wake up tomorrow morning to find me already finished with the case and lying next to you."

"Hmm...then take these with you."

Yi Youyou didn't insist on going together anymore, but she still took out two magical treasures and stuffed them into Qin Huanyu's hands. They were the second of the Yi family's heirlooms: the cursed doll and the nail-headed awl.

“Using these two magical treasures doesn’t require our Yi family’s inherited magic. You’ve seen me use them so many times, you should know exactly how to use them. Perhaps they can be of help to you.”

"This...is okay."

Qin Huanyu hesitated for a few seconds, but still decisively accepted the two magical treasures.

This would not only reassure Yi Youyou, but might also actually be useful, so there was no reason to refuse.

After coaxing Yi Youyou back to bed, Qin Huanyu, dressed neatly, did not immediately set off to Qingzhao Mountain to provide support.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Before engaging in combat with the enemy, understanding their intelligence is the most efficient course of action.

Since the enemy is named An Lushan and claims to be the successor of the Demon King An Lushan, it would be wise to first find out information from the person who knows the Demon King An Lushan best.

And when it comes to understanding the Demon King An Lushan, who can compare to Wu Xiqun, who awakened the bloodline of a hero and also obtained a lot of inherited memories?

The two sides lived very close to each other; in fact, the room where Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou lived was part of the princess's palace.

After walking a few steps, Qin Huanyu arrived at the door of Wu Xiqun and Nangong Yue's room. Just as she was about to knock symbolically, she heard extremely suppressed moans and panting coming from inside.

—Seriously? Are the positive side effects of the Hero's Bloodline really that big? She's eight months pregnant and still has the ability to mess around at night?

While mentally ranting and raving, Qin Huanyu felt too embarrassed to push the door open directly. Instead, she gently knocked on the door a few times.

"Quanqun? Yuebao? Are you asleep? I have something important to discuss with you, it's serious business."

"Well……!"

Someone inside seemed to want to reply, but was immediately silenced by having their mouth covered, and then the suppressed breathing became even more intense.

A few minutes later, the door was opened, and Nangong Yue, who was only wearing a blanket, was there.

"What is it, Ayu?"

Even though she was a woman of tea, having her good time interrupted made Nangong Yue's tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"There's a case involving supernatural beings in Baiguang City. The suspect claims to be a descendant of the Demon King An Lushan. I came to ask Qunqun about it," Qin Huanyu quickly explained.

"Oh, there's a case... Well, there's nothing we can do about that then."

Nangong Yue sighed, clearly still somewhat unsatisfied, but she could only open the door and let Qin Huanyu into the room.

Wu Xiqun was lying lazily on the bed, wearing a very loose maternity dress, but the underwear underneath looked like it had been newly changed.

Qin Huanyu glanced at it quickly before looking away, briefly reiterating An Lushan's situation before asking:

"Could she really be a descendant of that great demon king? Skirt Skirt?"

"They can't be descendants of An Lushan. Our ancestor wiped out all of An Lushan's bloodlines back then. Our royal family is absolutely certain of that."

Wu Xiqun first gave a very affirmative answer, then thought for a moment and added:

"However, judging from her ability to control a large number of ogres and ancient demons, she may indeed have obtained a part of An Lushan's legacy... Hmm, compared to her being a descendant of An Lushan, I think she is more like an ordinary person who had a similar experience to An Lushan."

"Sister Yu, you must have read about that period of history, right? An Lushan was not a demon king at first, but a military governor of our Holy Zhou Kingdom, and he led troops to guard the border for many years."

"Back then, some problems arose within our court, leading to delays in military supplies and pay, which is why An Lushan rebelled... However, his rebellion was quickly quelled by the court, and he himself managed to escape with his life after the defeat."

"Unexpectedly, that guy was really lucky. While fleeing for his life, he encountered a rift in the Netherworld and became the spokesperson for the power of the Netherworld... which led to the later Demon King An Lushan."

"Qunqun, do you mean that An Lushan is the new representative of the Netherworld's power? The ghost realm she escaped into is the Netherworld? Then isn't Ling'er and the others in great danger right now?"

Qin Huanyu suddenly became restless.

"No, Sister Yu, don't worry... The Netherworld no longer exists."

Wu Xiqun quickly comforted her:

"I only learned about this after receiving the memories passed down from my ancestor. Back then, my ancestor slaughtered her way through the entire Netherworld and destroyed its core, thus fundamentally eliminating the possibility of the Demon King appearing again."

"The essence of the Netherworld is actually a naturally formed super-large ghost realm, which does not yet have its own ghost realm lord. When An Lushan mistakenly entered the Netherworld, because his soul attribute was very compatible with the Netherworld, he merged with the Netherworld core and became the ghost realm lord of the Netherworld, that is, the Demon King. He led hundreds of thousands of demons from the Netherworld to sweep across the Eastern Divine Continent until he was completely wiped out by our ancestor."

"So it's impossible for a new demon king to appear. That An Lushan was probably just lucky to merge with an unclaimed ghost realm, which allowed her to control demons and cause trouble like the demon king An Lushan back then... If the Netherworld still existed back then, An Lushan would have definitely made a big splash long ago, and she wouldn't have been beaten up by Sister Ling'er and the others and had to hide in the ghost realm."

"Of course, I'm not saying that Sister Ling'er and the others were weak, but that the Demon King was very strong... At that time, although the Shadow Studio had not yet been established, the royal family still had many powerful superhumans to worship, but they all died at the hands of the Demon King. It wasn't until our ancestor descended from another world as a hero that the situation was turned around."

"The fact that An Lushan was so easily defeated and escaped into the Ghost Realm means that her Ghost Realm must be far inferior to the Netherworld. With your strength, Sister Yu, there is no need to worry or be anxious. Just follow your pace and methods, and you will definitely be able to easily solve this case."
