Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

After thinking for a moment, Qin Huanyu's eyes lit up:

“I’ve got it! People in ancient times liked to keep dogs to guard their homes. I have Shirley too, right? I can have her stay in the Imaginary Space for a long time to keep watch—she is, after all, the embodiment of original sin. There are very few extraordinary people in this world who can get past her, let alone get past her without alerting me.”

Chapter 203 Yao Guang Space Carrier

The imaginary space was successfully constructed, and Qin Huanyu was ecstatic for several days.

These past few days, she's been like a street urchin, going around online and playing harmless pranks on people she knows.

Sneaking snacks, quietly patting shoulders and touching legs, and sometimes even dressing up as a ghost like Sadako to jump out of the screen and scare people.

Most of the people she tricked just laughed and teased her, but some reacted more strongly. Yuan Tingxue, for example, didn't hesitate to give her a Five Elements Divine Thunder, which shocked her so much that she almost rolled her eyes back. Afterwards, she quickly apologized to her, leaving her with no reason to retaliate.

Qin Huanyu finally calmed down, her excitement suppressed by the electric shock. She was furious at Yuan Tingxue's cunning and wicked behavior, but helpless. All she could do was go to Yuan Baixue for drinks and barbecue, and talk badly about Yuan Tingxue behind her back.

Just as the two of them were getting a little tipsy, their faces flushed from the alcohol, their phones suddenly started ringing incessantly, receiving a lot of messages in a short period of time.

Qin Huanyu and Yuan Baixue exchanged a glance, took out their phones to check the messages, and then looked at each other again, bewildered.

The messages they received were all similar, telling them the same thing—something big had finally happened in the White Eagle Federation.

Nearly four months have passed since the grand fireworks display at New Year's Eve, and now it's summer again, with pretty young women wearing short skirts and stockings everywhere on the streets.

Initially, the White Eagle Federation was indeed in complete chaos, but under subsequent military control, it quickly restored order. Aside from the curfew policy causing a major downturn in various nighttime industries, almost everything else gradually returned to pre-disaster levels.

But it was only after order was restored that the White Eagle government and the people had the resources to take stock of the losses caused by the chaos.

They later discovered that while many people had indeed died in the chaos, some had gone to the Church of Apocalypse for help and never returned, disappearing completely.

There are still quite a few people like this. At first, there were millions of people every day. After military control was implemented, the number dropped rapidly, but the total number still exceeded ten million.

Because people seeking help from the Gospel Revelation Church usually went to each church individually, and disappeared one by one, coupled with the chaos caused by the White Eagle Gang during those days, almost no one noticed this incident.

It wasn't until the count of bodies and the tally of the dead were made that someone finally realized the problem.

However, the Church of the Apocalypse is a large and formal religion that has monopolized the religious beliefs of the member states of the Freedom Alliance for many years. Many of its bishops even hold positions in various government departments. It is a behemoth that is no less than any giant corporation or conglomerate.

So the White Eagle government initially wanted to suppress the matter, to downplay it and make it disappear, as if the missing people had all died in the riots, and that's what they did.

Most White Eagle people don't really care, because those who disappeared from the Gospel Revelation Church disappeared one family at a time. The closest outsiders to them were colleagues, classmates, and neighbors. In peacetime, these relationships would involve drinking and eating together like brothers, but in times of life and death, they certainly wouldn't be as important as family. Everyone would just mind their own business.

However, such people are only the majority. There are still some who are stubborn and have a righteous heart that likes to meddle in other people's business. They want to explore the truth of the Apocalypse Church and find the more than ten million people who have disappeared.

Erica, the beautiful reporter who has repeatedly caused trouble in the White Eagle Federation by exposing various scandals involving the government and corporations, is such a person. This time, she has successfully caused trouble again.

However, Erica's biggest secret has also been revealed this time. The reason she survived so many dangerous attempts was not only because she had a president as her father, but more importantly, because she had a boyfriend who was an immortal phoenix.

Phoenix Warrior is also one of the world's top superhumans. He can fly, use extremely hot flames, and be reborn from fire. He also participated in the war that lasted more than 70 years ago. He is a strongman of the same era and level as Thunder Cry.

During that war, Phoenix Knight was the main force of the Freedom Alliance in stopping Thunder Cry. The two fought countless times, and neither could gain the upper hand.

Lightning is much faster than fire, giving Thunderclap an absolute speed advantage. She can take the initiative in battle, moving and fighting as she pleases, and the Phoenix Demon can't do anything about her. However, Thunderclap can't completely kill the Phoenix Demon, who is constantly reborn from the flames. She finds him so disgusting that she eventually avoids him whenever she encounters him and goes to kill other people instead.

With such a top-tier powerhouse as her boyfriend, it's not hard to understand why Erica hasn't actually died after so many disastrous attempts. It's just that her scandals were exposed, causing her stock price to drop; for those capitalists, there's really no need to risk their lives against the most powerful superhumans.

However... Phoenix Knight is the same age as Lei Mingming, and is now at least over 100 years old, yet he's dating Erica, a beauty in her twenties... Hmm, the White Eagle Federation is indeed very free.

This time, after learning about the ten million people, Erica disguised herself as a nun and infiltrated the Church of Apocalypse. Using a miniature camera hidden in a secret place, she secretly filmed many shocking things inside the church.

What exactly Erica photographed remained unknown to the intelligence agents of the Holy Zhou Kingdom within the White Eagle Federation. They only knew that the content was undoubtedly shocking, so much so that even someone as audacious as Erica dared not upload it directly online. Instead, she stored it as evidence, intending to pursue formal legal proceedings against the Evangelical Apocalypse Church through the Federal Supreme Court.

Later in the filming, Erica was discovered by the church guards, but her Phoenix Mage boyfriend arrived just in time to save the day and helped her fight her way out.

Because of the previous exposure of her scandals, Erica still enjoys a high reputation among the people of the White Eagle Federation, and in addition, she is the president's daughter... This matter suddenly became a big deal.

The White Hawk government could no longer remain silent and accepted Erica's lawsuit, with the case scheduled to be heard in the Supreme Court in a week.

Erica was also clever; she refused the protection offered by the Supreme Court and stayed by her boyfriend, Phoenix Warrior, making it impossible for many who wanted to destroy the evidence to do so.

"The White Eagle Federation is about to undergo a major change."

Qin Huanyu sighed at the matter:

"For a reckless female reporter like Erica to be so cautious, she must have filmed something extraordinary inside the Church of Apocalypse, and it's very likely related to the supernatural... If she exposes those videos to the Supreme Court a week later, the consequences are unpredictable."

"It doesn't matter, at worst it'll just be the White Eagle government and the Evangelical Apocalypse Church fighting like dogs."

Yuan Baixue didn't seem to care much and continued to eat her skewers with gusto, completely oblivious.

"The foreigners in the Freedom Alliance and the aliens in the Evangelical Apocalypse Church are no good. They'd better fight each other to the death, until blood flows like a river!"

"This……"

Qin Huanyu pondered for a moment, then spoke a fair word:

“I don’t like foreigners from member states of the Freedom Alliance either, but foreigners are ultimately part of us humans, and we can’t make a blanket judgment… We can accept the bizarre, so there’s no reason why we can’t accept fellow human beings who just have different ideas from us.”

"But the aliens are different. They have infiltrated our Earth for many years and have malicious intentions, disguising themselves as gods and using religion to enslave Earthlings... Anyone with a little intelligence can see through their sinister intentions. There is absolutely no possibility of peace between us and the aliens. The most correct thing to do is to find and kill all the aliens currently on Earth."

"Unfortunately, the Church of the Apocalypse has too deep a foundation. If we forcefully take action against them, they may use us to incite a civil war among humanity on Earth, and ultimately they will reap the benefits."

"So what that female reporter did this time is actually an opportunity for us. If she can completely destroy the sacred image of the Apocalypse Church in the minds of foreigners, it will be a great help to our alien extermination plan."

"To put it another way, we'll have to fight those aliens sooner or later... It's better to have the battle on White Eagle Continent than on our own country, right? So, Snow White, don't slack off lately. Master the power of the Feathered Serpent as soon as possible to improve your combat strength. Who knows, we might end up joining forces with the White Eagle people or even the Truth Society to fight the aliens together."

"Well...I understand."

Yuan Baixue took another sip of beer, her smile becoming even more goofy:

"I'm not very bright, so all I need to do is focus on my training and fight well. But someone as smart as you, Ayu, has a lot more to consider, so those things can be left to you, right?"

"...It's true that you should focus on your cultivation, but I'm not exactly a smart person, at least not politically. I'm more like a half-combatant and half-craftsman."

Qin Huanyu smiled modestly, raised her beer and clinked it against Yuan Baixue's, then put her phone away and continued eating her skewers.

However, she didn't get to enjoy the barbecue to her heart's content, because Qin Huanyu soon received a call from Nangong Yue herself, saying that she needed her help with something and that she must get to the Qinglan Research Institute in the capital as soon as possible.

Without delay, Qin Huanyu bid farewell to Yuan Baixue and went directly through the imaginary space to the capital city via the internet, where she found Nangong Yue.

"You know about the White Eagle Federation, right, Ayu?"

Nangong Yue displayed her energetic side as a soldier, grabbing Qin Huanyu's arm and talking as she climbed into the car.

"...Where exactly are you going?"

Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment, then said directly:

"Tell me the IP address of that place, and I can show you a shortcut."

There are no shortcuts.

Nangong Yue shrugged, gesturing for Qin Huanyu to get in the car quickly:

"That place is completely isolated from the internet, and even a strong electromagnetic barrier has been built to defend against any network intrusion, just to guard against someone like you who is almost unbeatable on the internet. After all, it is the greatest masterpiece of our Qinglan Research Institute and the most powerful weapon in the Holy Zhou Kingdom at present."

"Your Qinglan Research Institute's greatest masterpiece?"

Qin Huanyu immediately recalled the enormous creature she had glimpsed during her visit to the Qinglan Research Institute, and said with some surprise:

"Could it be a space carrier? You've already built it?"

"The mothership itself was actually built a long time ago, but the supporting weapons and protection systems have not yielded satisfactory results, which is why she has been stuck in the research institute for two years."

Nangong Yue shook her head smugly:

"Last year, I sent my professional team to your place to work on developing the brainwave control system for drones... Now that we have that system, the mothership defense system I designed can finally be implemented on the mothership! Although we still lack a powerful enough decisive attack weapon, the mothership with the protection system is already capable enough to be put into actual combat. I urgently need you to come and help me so that you can participate in the mothership's first flight test and first combat test."

"I see, no wonder you've been so busy lately..."

Qin Huanyu suddenly realized, but then became somewhat puzzled:

"But aren't you people from Qinglan a bit too hasty? The mothership defense system has only just been put into practical use, and you're already conducting its maiden flight and first combat test?"

"Because we'll likely need her to make the move next!"

Nangong Yue became excited again as she spoke:

"You know about the White Eagle Federation, right? We're not entirely sure what Senior Lei and the Truth Society are planning, but our Saint Zhou's intelligence agents in the White Eagle Federation will not miss this opportunity. We must detonate this hidden bomb—the Church of Apocalypse—and not let them down the story!"

"And the Church of Apocalypse is backed by aliens. How could aliens not have spaceships? Only spaceships can defeat spaceships! This is a golden opportunity for our Qinglan Research Institute to make a name for itself for generations to come. Of course, we can't miss it!"

"...Okay, that works then."

Seeing Nangong Yue's excited expression, Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment, but still refrained from dampening her enthusiasm.

Because if the aliens really have spaceships, they would definitely be more advanced than the space carrier that the Holy Zhou Kingdom has just developed, and they would most likely be no match for them... If you really want to fight those kinds of spaceships, the most likely way to win is to use the cliché of a small number of elite troops to infiltrate and fight.

However, it's hard to say. If aliens really had those kinds of spaceships, they could have easily destroyed Earth more than 200 years ago when Earth's technology hadn't developed yet. They wouldn't need to pretend to be gods and spirits among humans like they do now—maybe they're just a group of interstellar refugees? That possibility isn't low.

After leaving the capital, Nangong Yue's car drove for more than two hours before finally arriving at its destination.

As Nangong Yue had said before, this was a very secluded valley, and strong electromagnetic interference had been set up all around it. There was no network signal at all, and even the Jade Net and the Pride Power circuit were affected, not as smooth as before, running like an online game with an 800ms latency.

There are already quite a few people at the scene.

The Empress, who has been retired for more than half a year and spends her days fishing and walking her birds, has come in person. Wu Xiqun, who holds her child and breastfeeds every day, has come. Yi Qiushui, who spends most of her time in seclusion at Shen Du University, and the elusive Celestial Master Yuan Qi have also come.

Seeing the curious look Qin Huanyu gave her, Nangong Yue smiled awkwardly and sighed as she quietly explained.

The reason why so many important figures and powerful individuals need to gather is simple: besides letting them witness this important scene, it is also a safety measure.

Although the Qinglan Research Institute is very confident in its achievements, these top-notch superhumans can still salvage the situation and minimize losses should problems arise.

After greeting everyone she knew, Qin Huanyu finally saw the space carrier that Qinglan Research Institute was so eager to bring out.

Compared to the warships in science fiction that are thousands of meters long or even larger than cities, this space carrier is very small. Its hull is less than 210 meters long, and its displacement in water is no more than 3 tons, which is smaller than an aircraft carrier.

Its shape is also quite different from the starships in science fiction works. It is a rectangle that is not particularly good-looking, and it looks a bit like a brick building with a deck. Its color is half gray and half blue.

It wasn't particularly attractive, but even Qin Huanyu, who was extremely particular about appearances, was very excited because this was the first space carrier built by Earthlings themselves, marking the first step for Earth's civilization towards the stars.

"Does she have a name yet?"

Qin Huanyu asked Wu Xiqun, who was beside her, in a low voice.

"Grandma plans to name her after Yao Guang, one of the stars in the Big Dipper."

Wu Xiqun's tone was equally excited:

"Of course, if all the tests today are successful, she will be the Yao Guang; if they fail, she will only be the first prototype of the seven-star space carrier... I think it will succeed! What do you think, Sister Yu? You are actually a very capable scientist, right?"

"I wouldn't dare call myself a scientist; I prefer the title of 'scientific witch'."

Qin Huanyu chuckled, her eyes lighting up as she activated her Mathematical Magic Eye to carefully observe the various data of the space carrier and calculate the success rate of the test.

"what?"

After only a few glances, Qin Huanyu showed a look of surprise and turned to look at Nangong Yue:

"This ship isn't powered by ordinary nuclear power, is it? The power of an aircraft carrier-class nuclear reactor wouldn't be enough to make it fly, but its propulsion system isn't that powerful either... You've also made breakthroughs in reactor technology a long time ago? Could it be that you've already developed a controlled fusion reactor?"

"...As expected of the Mathematical Eye, it saw through our secret in an instant."

Nangong Yue glanced at Qin Huanyu with a sigh, nodded slightly, and then said with some regret:

"That's right. The ship's propulsion system does use fusion reaction technology, but it's not a purely scientific fusion reactor... Using purely scientific means to limit and control the fusion reaction is still beyond our capabilities, so we used a mysterious sealing technique to limit the fusion reaction rate."

"Using supernatural powers to limit the rate of fusion reactions?"

Qin Huanyu frowned:

"Wouldn't it be extremely dangerous if a powerful superhuman were to infiltrate her? If the sealing technique that limits the fusion reaction rate is broken, she would instantly become a giant hydrogen bomb."

"Yes, we know that too, which is why she needs a robust defense system."

Nangong Yue shrugged:

"That's why I was so eager to ask you for help, Ayu... According to the analysis of our research institute's combat expert team, a superhuman like you, who possesses high-speed flight capabilities, considerable strength, and is proficient in science and technology, is the greatest threat to our mothership. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Yaoguang's combat test today is to defend against your surprise attack in the simulated battle, Ayu, and even defeat you."

"What? You want me to attack the Yao Guang? Really?"

Qin Huanyu was initially surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she said seriously:

"If I really have to fight the Yao Guang, the Yao Guang really can't defend against me... I've already thought of several tactics to take her down."

"Ah Yu, aren't you being too arrogant?"

Nangong Yue snorted somewhat defiantly:

"I admit, Ayu, you're getting better and better, but don't underestimate the hard work of our Qinglan Research Institute over the years, and the countermeasures our team of combat experts has developed for various superhuman attacks! Don't cry if you lose."

"I will win, and I won't throw the game."

Qin Huanyu remained confident, but her expression became even more serious:

"You should be able to understand, Yuebao... If I were to go easy on them during the test, it would be cruel to all the soldiers who will fight on the Yaoguang in the future."

"I know, and there's no need for you to go easy on me, Ayu."
