Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

“According to the Bureau of Investigation’s rules, Sister Ling’er will definitely report to the Bureau’s headquarters for support as soon as she discovers the Ghost Realm. I don’t know which inspector Deputy Director Zhou has assigned to go… Well, it doesn’t matter who he assigned. Anyway, it’s only been a short time, and that inspector definitely hasn’t arrived yet. I will use my authority as the director to assign this case directly to you, Sister Yu.”

"……Understood."

Wu Xiqun's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Qin Huanyu quickly felt much more at ease.

The strength of the Lord of the Ghost Realm is related to the Ghost Realm itself.

Since Bai Ling and Miss Zhe Yuan were able to defeat An Lushan, they shouldn't have been easily trapped in the Ghost Realm. At most, they were just temporarily trapped, which is why they lost contact.

Since the enemy was not a true second-generation demon king, but at most a copycat, Qin Huanyu had nothing to worry about. She immediately prepared to set off for Qingzhao Mountain to provide support.

"I'll go as well."

However, just as Qin Huanyu was about to leave the princess's room, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, surprising everyone.

"Dr. Lily of the Valley?"

Looking at the classical beauty in the moonlight, dressed in a high-slit cheongsam and carrying a medicine box, Qin Huanyu was somewhat puzzled:

"I'm on my way to investigate a case; I'm going to fight sorcerers and demons. You...?"

"I know... Don't worry, although I'm just a doctor who's not good at fighting, I can still protect myself and won't hold you back."

Linglan answered calmly, but Qin Huanyu, Wu Xiqun, and Nangong Yue remained silent, staring at her with even more curiosity.

"……Why."

Lily of the Valley had no other choice but to sigh softly.

"Isn't it written in Xiao Yuan's file? She encountered a supernatural case when she was young, and her whole family was brutally murdered. Only she was saved by a mysterious supernatural being and survived... The so-called mysterious supernatural being who saved her was actually me. Xiao Yuan's family lived in a rather remote village at the time, and I was gathering herbs in the mountains near that village. When I heard the screams, I went over, but unfortunately, I was a step too late and only managed to save her."

"After that, Xiao Yuan lived with me in the mountains for half a year. I never told Xiao Yuan my true identity... I hope that Xiao Yuan can let go of her hatred and learn medicine from me in the mountains to cultivate her mind and character."

"But Xiao Yuan couldn't do it. The hatred in her heart was too deep. The Investigation Bureau was worried that her extreme emotions would affect me, so they eventually took her away and introduced her to another superhuman as a teacher to teach her the Flying Dance. Xiao Yuan also worked for the Investigation Bureau for a period of time because of this."

"Unfortunately, her obsession with revenge made Xiao Yuan unable to even follow the rules of the Investigation Bureau, and she ultimately chose to go out on her own."

“This time she has finally discovered a clue about her old enemy, and she will definitely be very impulsive... I am a little worried about her and want to go with her to see her.”

Chapter 197 I'm just a doctor, not good at fighting

Qin Huanyu finally agreed to take Linglan with her, after all, Linglan had helped her in many ways several times, and Linglan might be able to help again this time, so Qin Huanyu really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Wu Xiqun arranged for them to use a state-of-the-art multi-functional fighter jet with vertical take-off and landing capabilities through the 404 Investigation Bureau. It only took them more than 40 minutes to fly from the capital to the depths of Qingzhao Mountain in Yizhou County. However, the cabin was not very comfortable, and the hard seats made their butts hurt during the flight.

To alleviate the discomfort during the flight, Qin Huanyu calmed her mind, pretended to close her eyes and rest, and connected to the computer in the Ling Su Research Institute through the Jade Network. She then used the institute's computer to go online and search for the information she needed.

"what?"

A moment later, Qin Huanyu exclaimed in surprise... She had only intended to do some casual research to pass the time and distract herself, but she hadn't expected to actually find something.

"what happened?"

Sitting opposite her, Lily of the Valley, who was also resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked over.

"I just searched for the name An Lushan online."

Qin Huanyu's expression was strange:

"I thought it was a fake name and didn't have much hope... I didn't expect there really was someone named An Lushan, which fits Qunqun's speculation about the target, and she also seems to be related to Miss Zheyuan."

"Is it related to Xiao Yuan?"

Lily of the Valley's expression became even more concerned:

"Tell me more about it?"

"Yes, according to official records, this An Lushan should have died when she was 13 years old."

Qin Huanyu shifted her position slightly and rubbed her bottom, which was a little sore from being jostled around.

"This An Lushan's family is quite wealthy. Her parents even own a private jet and often take her around to travel. Dr. Linglan, didn't you mention Miss Zheyuan's hometown before? That was the last stop on An Lushan's family's trip before the accident. She should have stayed there for more than a week. After that, when she and her family were returning on their private jet, the plane crashed. The search and rescue team searched the crash site for a week but found no survivors, so they assumed that they had all perished."

"You mean..."

Linglan immediately understood Qin Huanyu's meaning:

"The pseudo-demon king Anlushan, whom we are about to defeat, is the same little girl from back then? She didn't die in the plane crash, but instead, by chance, merged with the Ghost Realm and became its lord?"

"I think it's quite likely."

Qin Huanyu nodded:

"They not only share the same name, but the place where the little girl An Lushan's family died in the plane crash is deep in Qingzhao Mountain! It's less than 10 kilometers away from the coordinates Xiao Liu gave me, what a coincidence."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Lily of the Valley agreed with this hypothesis, but also had some doubts:

"But why did you suddenly think of searching for information about An Lushan? What advantages would it have to know her true identity?"

"Of course it's because of this~~"

Qin Huanyu proudly displayed the cursed doll and nail-headed awl she carried with her:

"I told you this mission was very simple, but Youyou was so worried about me that she insisted on lending me her family's heirloom."

"So you're showing off now, huh? Pampering your relationship in front of me?"

Linglan rolled her eyes at Qin Huanyu, clearly annoyed.

"However, these two magical artifacts are indeed quite powerful. As long as you know the target's real name and birth date, and obtain a part of the target's body tissue as a medium, you can launch a curse attack that directly targets the target's essence, ignoring most of the protective measures."

"Yes, although the activation conditions of these two magical treasures are somewhat demanding, their effects are truly powerful, even the Octopus Head Bishop's Spirit-Severing Iron Body cannot withstand them."

Qin Huanyu recalled the events of the battle at the palace and chuckled again:

"Although I am not as skilled in divination as the ancestors of the Youyou family, times have changed. Through the internet, I can quickly pinpoint the target's real name and birth date. If I can then find a way to get something from An Lushan during the battle, victory will be assured."

The two chatted idly on the plane, and time flew by. They didn't even feel their butts hurt from the turbulence of the hard seats during the high-speed flight.

About 40 minutes later, the fighter jet began to decelerate, and the pilot informed Qin Huanyu that they had reached the vicinity of the distress coordinates given by Xiao Liu.

Qin Huanyu instructed the driver to open the paratrooper's hatch. She put on her armor, stood at the door, and scanned the surroundings with her Mathematical Eye, finding Xiao Liu's location.

Then Qin Huanyu waved to Linglan, grabbed Linglan's waist with one hand, and jumped directly out of the fighter jet's cabin door, telling the pilot that he could return to base.

As they hovered in the air and descended towards their target, it was clear that a major battle had taken place in this mountain forest. There were remnants of spiritual energy left from clashes between superhumans, but even more so, there was the destruction caused by the military and armed police using modern weaponry, and a large number of cannibal corpses.

"So many?"

Even though he already knew from Xiao Liu that An Lushan had many cannibals and other demons under her command, he was still somewhat surprised to see Qin Huanyu in person.

Within her sight, there were already more than 200 cannibal corpses, most of whom died under the firepower of modern armies, with only a few killed by superhumans.

The corpses of ogres made up the vast majority of the demon corpses. There were also a few strange demons with pig heads or centipede tails, which were all blown to pieces by heavy firepower. Only one chicken demon was split into 2.5 pieces by some kind of very sharp force, which seemed to be Bai Ling's handiwork.

Judging from the demon corpses and battle marks scattered on the ground, Qin Huanyu quickly reconstructed the situation in her mind.

It seems that after Bai Ling finally found An Lushan by following the clues, she called on Hua Heshang Chenghai and Miss Zheyuan to fight together. The three of them first fought An Lushan in another place and won a small victory. An Lushan fought and retreated, leading them here and summoning a large number of demons to attack together.

Afterwards, Bai Ling and the others called for fire support from the nearby army and armed police. Since this was deep in Qingzhao Mountain, a no-man's land, they didn't have to worry about accidentally injuring civilians or being seen. The army then used heavy firepower to cover the area, almost wiping out the demons.

So An Lushan was defeated again and hid in the Ghost Realm, which led to what happened later.

Thinking about it this way, An Lushan doesn't seem to be a formidable opponent after all; she was almost taken down by Bai Ling and the others.

There has been no news of Bai Ling and the others since they entered the Ghost Realm. There are only two possibilities.

First, the environment inside the Ghost Realm was quite complex, trapping them. Second, after their two consecutive victories against An Lushan, they became overconfident and carelessly suffered a defeat.

Qin Huanyu quickly considered the possible solutions for the two scenarios in her mind, and soon landed successfully with Linglan in her arms.

At this stage of the battle, even the armed police were of little use. The only ones left to maintain the blockade were elite troops, with only Xiao Liu serving as a liaison officer.

The entrance to the Ghost Realm is a huge tree that can be embraced by two people. Many soldiers, including Xiao Liu, have witnessed Bai Ling and the others crashing into the tree to enter the Ghost Realm, so there should be no mistake.

The highest-ranking officer remaining on-site to command was a deputy battalion commander with the rank of major, and his method for sealing off the entrance to the ghost realm was very simple and brutal.

While having some soldiers establish a perimeter, a large number of remote-controlled bombs were placed around the big tree. The combined detonation power would be enough to raze a large train station to the ground. If a large number of demons attempted to invade the mortal world from the underworld through this entrance, the major would order the bombs to be detonated directly.

In fact, this is one of the common tactics used by armies when facing extraordinary enemies... Conventional firepower is indeed less effective against extraordinary beings than elemental attacks, but if the firepower is strong enough, most extraordinary beings will simply be annihilated by concentrated fire from modern armies. Otherwise, why haven't the Truth Society, with its many powerful and bizarre beings at the level of Ghost Lords, been able to conquer any territory of their own? It's because they can't defeat human armies head-on, especially since humans possess weapons of mass destruction like nuclear bombs. The number of extraordinary beings in the world who could survive a nuclear explosion would be no more than a handful.

After exchanging a few words with the major and Xiao Liu to get a better understanding of the latest situation, Qin Huanyu led Linglan toward the entrance to the Ghost Realm.

The tree looked no different from an ordinary tree, but as long as you covered your body with a layer of spiritual essence and touched it, you would find that the bark became as soft as cream and you could walk right through it.

Upon entering the Ghost Realm, the surrounding environment changed instantly. Qin Huanyu and Linglan were separated and thrown into different corners of the Ghost Realm, even though they had held hands before entering.

Outside the Ghost Realm was a mountain forest, and inside the Ghost Realm was also a mountain forest. If Qin Huanyu's armor hadn't suddenly lost its network, she would have had a hard time even distinguishing which side was the Ghost Realm and which side was the real world. The geographical environment inside the Ghost Realm was almost exactly the same as that of Green Claw Mountain.

Qin Huanyu did not find any other demons in the Ghost Realm, but she did not fly up recklessly. Instead, she moved as quietly as possible and entered stealth mode, intending to investigate the surrounding area first.

After a few minutes, Qin Huanyu explored the surrounding area and discovered several ogre settlements, including stone caves carved into the mountainside and simple wooden houses, which were probably similar to human tribes in ancient times.

There are still many elderly ogres and ogre cubs in those ogre settlements. Qin Huanyu did not go on a killing spree, but only secretly captured a lone ogre cub.

The technology she learned from the mechanical spiders of the White Eagle Federation finally came in handy. There was no need to show mercy to beings like ogres. Qin Huanyu used the tip of her tail-like alloy tentacles to pierce the ogre cub's head, forcibly connecting to the cub's brain and digitizing its soul data to directly read its information.

This ogre cub was quite intelligent, about the level of a 5-year-old human child, and could already remember quite a few things. Qin Huanyu obtained the information she wanted.

This ghostly realm is called a sacred place by the ogres who live here. They have lived here for many years. Most of the ogres spend most of their time farming here, and only a few ogres will sneak out to eat a few people to improve their diet. After eating, they will quickly run back.

Until about 15 years ago, this ghostly realm welcomed a female master who took in almost all the demons living there and often led them to cause trouble.

At first, many cannibals had a lot to say about this. They were living peacefully here and didn't want to bother the humans outside, because they couldn't afford to.

But the mistress of the ghost realm was quite resourceful. She could capture some humans from the outside world from time to time and share them with the ogres in the ghost realm. Even this ogre cub once received half a human male's leg, and the taste was very vivid in its memory.

Not long ago, all the demons in the Ghost Realm received news that humans from the outside world had invaded, and the mistress summoned them to fight back. Now, they hear that the invaders have been captured, and the mistress plans to cook them up and distribute them to the various cannibal tribes.

The young and middle-aged ogres from the tribe to which this ogre cub belonged had gone to the Lord of the Underworld to participate in a feast for the invaders.

"...Ling'er and the others really got caught after their accident?"

After casually tossing away the corpse of the ogre cub, Qin Huanyu muttered something under her breath.

There was no other way; she couldn't just stand by and watch Bai Ling and the other two be eaten. Besides, they had been captured for a while now, and she didn't know what stage they were being cooked to. She had to rescue them as soon as possible.

Rescuing someone from a sorcerer at the level of a Ghost Lord and at least hundreds of demons is no easy task. At the very least, it would be almost impossible for Qin Huanyu to succeed by force. Her current strength is certainly much greater than when she first joined the Investigation Bureau, but there is still a big gap between her and a peak expert like Lei Mingming.

Therefore, when it comes to saving lives, one should not resort to force, but rather use strategy.

What should I do?

Qin Huanyu narrowed her eyes slightly and instantly deduced many possibilities. Then she chose the one with the highest success rate—trusting her teammates and trusting Linglan.

Bai Ling is Ling Lan's apprentice, and Miss Zhe Yuan also has a connection with Ling Lan. Given Ling Lan's abilities, she must have a way to pinpoint their location and approach them quietly.

Then what Qin Huanyu needed to do was quite simple.

She acted once again, and this time she showed no mercy, slaughtering an ogre tribe that had two elderly ogres and three ogre cubs left behind, and forcibly reading the memories from all the ogres' minds.

Immediately, Qin Huanyu compiled a map of this ghostly realm. She no longer concealed her figure and launched an attack from the sky in her battle armor.

She first arrived at the place where An Lushan was going to host a banquet for the demons. This was the most open space in the entire Ghost Realm, and it was also where An Lushan's stone fortress was located.

At this time, a large number of demons had gathered in front of the stone fortress. At a glance, there were at least more than 400 of them, more than 95% of whom were cannibals, and a few other demons with strange appearances.

An Lushan was also there, with three large pots in front of her that could hold an adult. Each pot was bubbling with steam, and she was constantly adding various spices into them.

Fortunately, Bai Ling and the others had not yet been cooked. All three of them were bound by a kind of evil magic rope and hung dejectedly not far from An Lushan, looking very listless.

The clothes worn by Bai Ling and Miss Zhe Yuan were only slightly torn, so there shouldn't have been any defeat scenes like those in eroge, since ogres only like to eat meat and have little interest in raw food.

Hua Heshang Chenghai's clothes were torn off, leaving him only in a pair of shorts, and he had many scratches and bruises, indicating that he must have taken a lot of damage in the battle.

Qin Huanyu observed Bai Ling and the others from the air for only a few seconds before An Lushan spotted her.

"Another intruder! Engage them! Capture her! Put her in the pot too!"

This fake demon king has a rather pleasant and seductive voice, and her attire is exactly like that of a villainous woman in a movie—her clothes consist mainly of a cloak, a corset, briefs, black boots, pantyhose, and black leather gloves.

Her skin is very fair and delicate, the kind that feels like it would leak water if you pinched it. She also has a very charming appearance, the kind of woman who wouldn't need makeup to play a fox spirit.

Overall, it's pretty good, I'd give it around 92 points.

Qin Huanyu had only been admiring An Lushan's appearance when An Lushan finished casting her spell, summoning two black smoke trails that transformed into chains, intending to pull Qin Huanyu down from the sky.

Various demons on the ground also launched attacks by throwing stones and spears, and several demons even conjured purple spiritual fireballs.

Qin Huanyu neither lingered in battle nor acted recklessly. She raised her hand and launched two small missiles in An Lushan's direction, then dodged the black smoke chains and turned to run.

Anlushan cautiously summoned another plume of black smoke to form a shield for defense, but found that the small missiles that were shot in front of her suddenly changed direction. One of them overturned her three large pots, while the other shot towards the demon horde, killing and injuring several ogres.

"Asshole! Don't run!"

An Lushan immediately became furious. She summoned a black cloud beneath her feet and, like an immortal riding the clouds in a fantasy novel, chased after Qin Huanyu. Many ogres who were waiting to be eaten also roared and chased after her on the ground with their weapons.
