"Alright, then I'll stay at your place, madam."

As for whether Mrs. Amakusa has ulterior motives?

Qin Huanyu wasn't afraid at all. If that time really came, who knew who would suffer the loss... Mrs. Amakusa was also a great beauty, the kind of wife-type beauty who only existed in fantasy and had never been married to a man. She was absolutely amazing.

Since she could teleport through the network using imaginary space, it didn't really matter to Qin Huanyu where she lived, as long as there was internet access. So she settled down at Mrs. Amakusa's house.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Huanyu discovered that Mrs. Amakusa was not as frivolous as she appeared on the surface.

Although she always liked to get herself slightly drunk with alcohol and often offered "fan service" in various unguarded ways, she didn't do anything outrageous. Her favorite things to do were to drink, draw comics, and tell dirty jokes with Qin Huanyu, and occasionally play games together.

In the past two weeks, apart from going to work at the Witch Tower during the day, Qin Huanyu also got to know the strange people living in the Hidden Village.

There are more than 330 strange creatures living in the Hidden Village, including some powerful ones, such as the legendary Kraken, whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary lords of the underworld.

However, there is no need to worry too much. The strange creatures that can live peacefully in the Hidden Village are basically those whose attributes and personalities do not conflict with humans, or are even beneficial to humans.

It's more accurate to say that the more powerful the monster in the Hidden Village, the better its personality. For example, the other two powerful monsters, whose strength is similar to that of Kraken, are based on the mountain god and wind god from the mythology of Sakura Province. For a long time, they were even worshipped in shrines.

Unfortunately, with the development of technology, many people in Sakura Prefecture no longer believe in gods, and the shrines of mountain gods and wind gods have gradually declined, and some have even been demolished by developers to develop real estate.

The mountain god and the wind god had nowhere to live, and their free movement outside would cause chaos, so they finally cooperated with the investigation bureau to establish the Hidden Village and take in their kind.

The essence of the Hidden Village can be described as a ghostly realm constructed by the Mountain God and the Wind God.

The mountain god appeared as a very kind old man. Qin Huanyu played chess and drank tea with him a few times and became familiar with him.

The Wind God's appearance was that of a green-haired, white-stockinged, flat-chested loli with a somewhat effeminate personality. On the second day after Qin Huanyu arrived, she went to provoke Qin Huanyu and bully her because she was a newcomer.

Qin Huanyu did not act rashly at first. After returning, she consulted the opinions of several senior patrol officers before putting on her armor and beating up the Wind God Loli. She beat the Wind God Loli's buttocks hard in front of many strange people in Shenyin Village, until the redness and swelling could be seen through the 10D white stockings.

The Wind Goddess Loli then became obedient, and not only did she not dislike Qin Huanyu, she actually liked to come and play with Qin Huanyu even more.

This is the experience that the senior inspectors told Qin Huanyu—the Wind Goddess Loli only treats those who are no weaker than her as friends, while those who are weaker than her are only treated as ordinary believers. They have no chance to see her true self. Therefore, every time she encounters a new inspector, she will take the initiative to provoke him, have a good fight, and then become friends.

Moreover, this wind goddess loli has some special hobbies—the harder you beat her in the friendship battle and the more embarrassed she is, the higher her affection level towards you will be and the more she will like to stick to you.

As for the Kraken, Qin Huanyu had actually seen her the last time she came; she was the girl with tentacles under her skirt who looked a bit like a socially awkward high school girl.

Qin Huanyu had left a good impression on her that time, and this time they became friends very smoothly, to the point where they could exchange novels and comics.

Chapter 213 Is she the weakest inspector?

After living in Shenyin Village for almost a month, Qin Huanyu increasingly felt that it was a good place.

The pristine natural environment, free from any industrial pollution, is breathtaking, and the village's eccentricities are often more simple and unpretentious than those of humans.

So Qin Huanyu decided to invite Yi Youyou and her daughter Yi Qian to stay with them for a while, as a family vacation.

However, the people who wanted to bully Qin Huanyu just because she was a new patrol officer were not only the Wind Goddess Loli from Shenyin Village.

. . . . .

On a deserted coastline in the West Continent, a conspiracy is underway.

One of them was an elderly gentleman with white hair and beard but a robust build. He arrived alone on a motorcycle, exuding a sharp aura.

The other side was standing on a submarine on the sea, dressed in an old-fashioned military uniform and wearing a strange crow mask.

"How to say?"

The two, one standing on the shore and the other in the sea, met without any preamble. The masked man, in a voice somewhat like a eunuch, went straight to the point:

"Want to do it together?"

"We can do it together."

The old gentleman answered readily, but after answering, he asked another question:

"But is your intelligence accurate? The Holy Zhou Kingdom has always protected that place very well. The White Eagle Intelligence Agency has had several plans targeting that place, but they all failed."

"Don't underestimate our intelligence network, my lord."

The masked man gave a strange laugh in a somewhat shrill voice:

“The Holy Zhou Kingdom has indeed always had experienced and powerful inspectors stationed there, but the one currently stationed there is a newly promoted inspector—she is a young woman who has only been in the Holy Zhou Kingdom’s Investigation Bureau for a little over six years. Her strength is definitely the weakest among the inspectors, and her experience is probably not very rich either. She might be easy to fool. This is our best opportunity!”

"A new inspector appointed by a young woman..."

The old gentleman was clearly somewhat chauvinistic; a look of disdain immediately appeared in his eyes, and he nodded without much hesitation.

"This is indeed a good opportunity... Okay, let's proceed according to your plan."

After saying that, he leaped off the shore with a light step, his agile body easily crossing a distance of more than 20 meters, and landed steadily on the submarine deck.

"Welcome to the team, Sir Knight."

The masked man made no attempt to hide the excitement in his voice:

"With your strength, Sir Knight, and the intelligence and strategies of our Dark Raven Guard, we will surely succeed at what the White Eagle Intelligence Bureau has been unable to accomplish!"

. . . . .

More than three years have passed since the White Eagle Falls project was completed, and the fallen white eagle has ultimately failed to take flight again.

For more than three years, the White Eagle government on the west coast and the Hero Association on the east coast have managed to hold on through various means, but that's all they've managed. They are powerless against the Gospel Apocalypse Church, which occupies the south-central part of White Eagle Continent, and the Truth Society, which occupies the north of White Eagle Continent. The once powerful White Eagle Federation can only exist in the past.

With the loss of the White Eagle Federation as its leading force, the Freedom Alliance's strength has clearly declined significantly, and it can no longer act as a check on the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Many small countries within the Free Alliance outwardly remain steadfast in their allegiance, but in secret, the rulers of many of these countries are eyeing the Holy Zhou Kingdom—as long as the Holy Zhou Kingdom can guarantee their own interests and wealth, they wouldn't mind welcoming the Holy Zhou Kingdom's army with food and drink when it sweeps across the Western Continent in the future.

The intelligence agencies of England and the Aryans discovered this, but there was nothing they could do.

Because even in their own country, many officials and capitalists hold this view, let alone people in other countries... If the methods used are too harsh, it may backfire.

Ultimately, however, things turned out this way because the enemy was strong and we were weak; many members of the Freedom Alliance had lost confidence in the alliance's strength.

It's impossible to help the White Eagle Federation become great again now, but we can still try to weaken the enemy by doing some underhanded things.

If a large-scale upheaval could be caused in a certain region of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, or even if the network were to be cut off due to the [Heavenly Lock Regulations] like it is now in White Eagle Continent, it would definitely tie down most of the Holy Zhou Kingdom's energy and prevent the Holy Zhou Kingdom from rushing to launch a massive military campaign to sweep across the Western Continent.

Thus, the Sixth Division of the Anglo-Chinese Federation's superhuman organization and the Dark Raven Guard, the Aryan superhuman organization, set their sights on the Hidden Village, intending to destroy it and use the village's strange occurrences to incite unrest, thereby diverting the Holy Zhou Kingdom's attention and giving the Free Alliance a chance to regroup.

. . . . .

That day, Qin Huanyu was patrolling Shenyin Village as usual when she suddenly noticed that Kraken had a comic book that had just been released.

This made Qin Huanyu frown slightly.

In terms of material things, the Bureau of Investigation will try its best to satisfy the weirdos in the Hidden Village. As for things like comic books, as long as the weirdos like to read them, they can have as many as they want. There's nothing strange about that.

To avoid disturbing ordinary people, the strange creatures of Hidden Village are not allowed to leave the village to buy comic books on their own... If they have any material needs, they can just tell the patrol officer in charge, and the patrol officer will arrange for the investigation bureau to complete the purchase within two days.

Qin Huanyu is now the patrol officer stationed in Shenyin Village. All supplies purchased in the village must first go through her. However, she clearly remembers that the latest comic book in Kraken's hands has not yet been purchased.

"Hi, Little Ke~~"

So Qin Huanyu smiled and stepped forward to greet him, then pointed directly to the comic book Kraken was holding and asked:

"Where did you get this book? You didn't sneak out and buy it yourself, did you?"

Having spent this time with them, Qin Huanyu had come to understand these strange creatures quite well... There was no need for human formalities or beating around the bush when dealing with them; the simplest and quickest way was to ask them directly if you had any questions.

"Hi, Ah... Ah Yu."

Kraken's voice was still a little stuttering, as if she wasn't very good at human language. The tentacles extending from under her skirt waved shyly before she explained:

"I... I did go for a walk outside just now, but I didn't buy anything on my own... This is a gift I received in exchange."

"Gifts exchanged?"

Qin Huanyu frowned even more, then something else occurred to her:

"Kek, are you saying that high school students from Edo have come here for tourism again?"

"Ah."

Kraken nodded at first, then quickly added:

"Ah...Ah Yu, don't worry, I hid the tentacles very well. They didn't discover my true identity. I was just out for a little...a short walk to clear my head. They came over to greet me first. If I didn't respond, it would be...it would be impolite."

"understood."

Qin Huanyu snapped her fingers, quickly summarizing the cause and effect of the matter:

"Kek, you secretly ran away from the village but didn't go far. You just took a walk nearby and then you ran into some Edo high school students who were traveling here. They came up to you and started talking to you. Later, they even used this comic book as a gift to exchange for other things from you?"

"Ah."

Kraken nodded slightly:

"It's just... some fruit produced in the village, ordinary... ordinary people can eat it, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, okay... Don't worry, Xiao Ke, I don't blame you for anything."

Qin Huanyu smiled and waved her hand:

"But you know the rules, Xiao Ke. It's wrong to sneak out of the village. Didn't I tell you before? If you want to go out for a walk, just let me know first... I certainly won't refuse you, but the procedures still need to be followed."

"I……"

Unexpectedly, Kraken's fair face turned red instantly, and even its tentacles shrank back shyly.

"I went to look for you this morning, but you were making moaning noises, so I didn't want to disturb you..."

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu also remembered that she had indeed done two morning exercises with Yi Youyou that morning, and it just so happened that it was her turn to be on the bottom, and her shouts were indeed quite loud.

"Hehe~~"

So Qin Huanyu just chuckled twice, too embarrassed to bring it up again. After checking the comic book to make sure there was nothing wrong, she left.

However, Qin Huanyu was not entirely indifferent to this matter; rather, she had some doubts.

This wasn't the first time she'd heard about high school students visiting from outside the village; it seemed like there were an unusually large number of them visiting this week.

In high schools in Sakura Prefecture, there is a rather special custom: students usually take a group trip before graduation, which lasts from two to three days, and is considered a way for students to leave behind a beautiful memory of their youth. This is the kind of school trip that is often seen in anime.

The true location of Shenyin Village lies on the imaginary number of the coordinate axis L, which is a ghostly realm that overlaps with the real world but does not exist in the real world. People without spiritual essence cannot sense it at all.

Therefore, the area corresponding to Shenyin Village in the real world is not some remote, uninhabited mountain forest, but rather a place with beautiful scenery. Although it has not been officially developed into a tourist attraction, people often drive here to visit and camp, and it's not surprising that high school students come for school trips.

The problem is that there are just too many high school students coming on school trips lately. Almost every day of the week, students from different schools come, and there are often several groups a day. They are mostly from Edo City.

This was clearly abnormal. Qin Huanyu suspected that someone was plotting against her and wanted to use these high school students to do something to Shenyin Village.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that the weirdos living in Hidden Village were photographed by high school students and posted online requires a lot of effort to handle the follow-up work—not every weirdo living in Hidden Village can maintain a human form like Kraken and Mrs. Amakusa; most of them look like monsters.

Qin Huanyu felt that she couldn't be too passive and that it would be best to investigate and nip the conspiracy in the bud.

So she took the initiative to contact the investigator in charge of Edo City.

This investigator is also a shrine maiden named Asama Nana. She and Yuan Baixue are from the same shrine, but she is more than ten years older than Yuan Baixue. When Yuan Baixue entered the shrine for training, Asama Nana had already graduated and started working at the Investigation Bureau.

Qin Huanyu was about the same age as Yuan Baixue. Asama Nana was more than 10 years older than Yuan Baixue, and naturally more than 10 years older than Qin Huanyu.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu was very polite to Asama Nana, without putting on airs as an inspector. Instead, she addressed her as Senior Asama and asked her to help investigate the schools that had been organizing student trips to Shenyin Village recently.

Nana Asama was clearly flattered and behaved very politely, addressing Qin Huanyu as "commander" with great respect. She treated the investigation of those schools as an urgent order, even stopping a case she was investigating herself to complete Qin Huanyu's order first.

While patiently awaiting the investigation results, Qin Huanyu also gathered the strange creatures of Shenyin Village together for a meeting. She told them that there was a high possibility that an outside force was planning to cause trouble, and that they should try not to leave the village on their own, not even for a walk near the village.

The strange creatures were very cooperative, and the old mountain god solemnly stated that he would keep a close eye on things these days—unless he died, nothing would happen to Shenyin Village.

Three days later, the Edo City Investigation Bureau branch contacted Qin Huanyu and told her some bad news—Asama Nana had been out of contact for more than 24 hours.

Qin Huanyu was not careless. She first sent her daughter, who lived in Shenyin Village, back to Shendu, then wrote a report to her superiors explaining the situation, and then rushed to Edo City.

She was greeted by a deputy chief of the Edo Police Department and a twelve or thirteen-year-old shrine maiden.

The deputy director remained relatively calm, but the little witch looked anxious and her voice was trembling with tears when she spoke to Qin Huanyu.

The little shrine maiden is named Asama Nana. She is Asama Nana's cousin and also her student. Just like Lu Han, whom Qin Huanyu trained, she is also Asama Nana's successor and will become the next generation of investigators to protect Edo City in the future.

With the narration of the deputy director and the little shrine maiden Nana Asama, Qin Huanyu quickly learned what had happened.

After receiving Qin Huanyu's call that day, Asama Nana immediately launched an investigation and even asked the Edo police to help.

The initial investigation went smoothly. After Asama Nana and her team found the schools that had been arranging school trips outside the Hidden Village recently, they quickly discovered that many of the school leaders and teachers had been affected by similar charm spells, which was why they made such decisions.

Afterwards, Nana Asama continued to investigate along the clues, while Nana Asama cooperated with the doctors to treat the school leaders and teachers who were affected by the magic.

Unexpectedly, Asama Nana's investigation was a one-way trip. By the time Asama Nana realized this after completing her treatment, Asama Nana had been out of contact for more than 24 hours. Only then did Asama Nana quickly contact Qin Huanyu for help.

Through the connection of the same lineage magic, Asama Nana could only determine the approximate area where Asama Nana last used magic before she went missing. It was an unfinished building project that had been partially developed but whose funding chain had broken down.

Sakura Province is also part of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and it has been difficult to see homeless people and beggars in the Holy Zhou Kingdom for a long time... at least not in big cities like Edo, so that unfinished building area has always been deserted.
