Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Qin Huanyu first secretly notified the institute's security department to seal off the institute, and then carefully checked her office, searching for traces of the intruder and the methods of infiltration.

Unfortunately, no matter how closely Qin Huanyu observed with her Mathematical Magic Eye, she could not find out how the intruder had entered her office, and the security department's search also yielded no results.

Qin Huanyu could only put on her armor and cautiously look at the letter on her desk.

The letter paper was ordinary; aside from the bizarre way it appeared, it was just plain paper with only a simple sentence written on it:

[Personal matters, handled alone]

Following that is an address, which is a teahouse in Kyoto City, and after the address is a cute-looking pink cat paw print.

Qin Huanyu checked the letter repeatedly but found nothing suspicious.

She investigated the information about the teahouse again, and it turned out to be just an ordinary teahouse. There was nothing unusual about the teahouse itself or the people who ran it.

After thinking it over, Qin Huanyu decided to keep the appointment.

She was very confident in her current strength. Even if she couldn't beat the trap, she could run away. Moreover, the teahouse was located in Kyoto City, very close to the Witch Tower, so it was unlikely to be a diversionary tactic.

Qin Huanyu made various guesses about the person who left the note asking her to meet, but the outcome of the meeting was still beyond her expectations.

It was probably because she was too cautious that she arrived late.

When Qin Huanyu arrived at the teahouse, the waiter regretfully told her that three guests had indeed booked private rooms to wait for her, but they left after waiting for more than an hour without seeing her.

Then the waiter at the teahouse brought out two more wooden boxes, saying that these were left for Qin Huanyu by two of the three guests.

Qin Huanyu examined the wooden box and was surprised to find that it was sealed. The contents inside were likely related to the supernatural. She did not open it in front of the waiter, but instead carefully inquired about the situation of the three guests.

"They were three guests who all looked to be of high status."

The waiter at the teahouse recalled carefully:

"It feels a bit like a family of three? But it doesn't quite seem like it—it's a very capable-looking gentleman and a very elegant lady, they should be a couple. In addition, there is a girl dressed in anime catgirl cosplay, who seems to be their daughter in terms of age, but the way they interact doesn't seem like it, it's more like a rich young lady with two butlers."

"Cat girl?"

Qin Huanyu's heart stirred, and she suddenly had a very bold guess.

She thought of the letter on her desk, the cat paw print at the end of the letter, and the strange appearance of the letter.

If it really is that catgirl, then it's not surprising at all that she could enter the Witch Tower silently and leave a note.

If it really is that catgirl, then the couple beside her... could they be...?

Thinking of this, Qin Huanyu quickly opened her phone, pulled up a photo of Yi Youyou, and showed it to the waiter:

"Young man, think about it carefully, doesn't that lady look a bit like her?"

"This……"

The photo showed Yi Youyou with white hair and blue eyes. The waiter was stunned for a moment, taking several seconds to recover before falling into thought. After a moment, he smiled wryly and said:

"I'm not quite sure... Their hair and eye colors are different. The lady has very common black hair and black eyes, but their face shapes... seem somewhat similar? I really can't remember clearly. After all, it's very impolite to stare at a married lady."

"That's it..."

Qin Huanyu nodded thoughtfully, then left without further harassing the waiter at the teahouse, carrying two large wooden boxes with her.

Back at the Witch Tower Research Institute, she first carefully examined the seal on the wooden box and found that although the seal was not very strong, it was very ingenious and difficult to break with a simple electric shock.

So Qin Huanyu brought two wooden boxes to the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau in the capital city to ask the ancient practitioners there for help, since they were better at breaking the seal.

After examining the large wooden box, the two experts from the Investigation Bureau, who were considered sealing experts, were very curious and asked Qin Huanyu where the box came from—the sealing method was something they had never seen before.

This made Qin Huanyu even more certain of her guess.

So Qin Huanyu let the two experts continue their research, while she went to look up information herself.

Qin Huanyu is now an Inspector of the Investigation Bureau and a member of the Royal Confidante Group. Her authority is much higher than when she first became an investigator. It is said that there should be no secrets in the Holy Zhou Kingdom that she cannot see under her authority.

However, she still couldn't find detailed information about the matter she wanted to investigate; she only found a few very ambiguous and vague descriptions.

It wasn't that they lacked the authority; rather, it seemed that even the royal family of the Holy Zhou Kingdom didn't seem to know the truth.

At this point, the two experts also made a new discovery. After some research and experimentation, they confirmed that the seal on the large wooden box was actually a bloodline seal. As long as someone with the correct bloodline opened the box, the seal would be as if it did not exist.

Having already determined 9% of the wooden box's origin, Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment before carrying it home and having Yi Youyou open it.

Sure enough, the seal seemed to be non-existent to Yi Youyou, and she opened the wooden box in an instant.

One of the boxes was full of various ingredients, including crystal-clear fruits that I had never seen before, as well as all kinds of poultry, animal meat and fish, which were almost non-existent in this world and seemed to come from a magical world.

The other box contained a variety of trinkets, much like the local specialties and souvenirs that people bring back for their relatives and friends when they travel. Some were just ordinary souvenirs, but others were magical props straight out of fantasy works.

"It seems it really was them... These must have been collected during their travels, and they've been keeping them as a gift for you. They haven't forgotten you, Youyou."

Qin Huanyu, who was helping Yi Youyou unpack the box, sighed and slowly revealed her guess.

Actually, even without Qin Huanyu saying anything, Yi Youyou had already guessed what was going on. She was already in tears during the unpacking process, which made Yi Qian think that her mother had bullied her again. She waved her little fists and punched Qin Huanyu's legs wildly.

The person who left a message for Qin Huanyu to meet her and left these two wooden boxes should be Yi Youyou's parents who left when she was a little over 3 years old. The catgirl girl with the two people is most likely the most mysterious of the four strongest monsters - Schrödinger's catgirl.

Yi Youyou had previously mentioned that her parents had gone on a long-term mission related to catgirls and never returned.

Qin Huanyu had previously used her access to find some vague information—basically, the Holy Zhou Kingdom, or rather human civilization, needed the Cat Girl's help in some matter, and Yi Youyou's parents, as envoys, contacted the Cat Girl. Later, the Cat Girl agreed to help, but also made a condition: she said she was too lonely traveling alone and wanted Yi Youyou's parents to accompany her, which is why Yi Youyou's parents never appeared again after that.

After all, catgirls have the ability to travel to other worlds, and many of these other worlds have different time flows than this one. It's quite possible that they've only been playing in another world for a few months, while decades have already passed in this world.

As for what the catgirl did for humans back then, and why they left in a hurry without waiting to meet Qin Huanyu after their return, Qin Huanyu had no idea.

However, this is still good news. At least Yi Youyou knows that her parents are still alive and still care about her, and will buy her gifts when they travel to another world... That's enough.

As long as people are alive, they will meet again someday.

Aside from making Yi Youyou emotionally sensitive for a few days and giving Qin Huanyu the opportunity to have sex with her several times, the incident caused no major upheaval.

However, the fact that one of the most bizarre creatures, a catgirl, had appeared was still very important, and Qin Huanyu still wrote a detailed report on it and filed it in the Investigation Bureau's database.

. . . . .

Nothing major happened for the next few months.

The four major powers in White Eagle Continent have been clashing on a daily basis, but no major battles have occurred.

After the Western Zhou kingdoms were incorporated into the Holy Zhou Kingdom, they gradually adapted to their new lives.

As it turns out, humans are very adaptable. In the Western Continent, apart from families whose members have joined the army and are still unable to get over their grief, most families have resumed their normal lives, and many people are even living more easily.

It is indeed somewhat unpleasant to have almost no personal privacy, but under the rule of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, people in many countries of the Western Continent no longer have to worry about being robbed or even shot when they go out at night.

The vagrants, refugees, and illegal immigrants who used to cause headaches for the Western Continent no longer existed after the Western Continent was incorporated into the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Saint Zhou treats everyone equally. Regardless of whether they are homeless, refugees, or illegal immigrants, as long as they have received brain chip implantation and abide by the law, they can get a stable job and naturally no longer need to be homeless, refugees, or illegal immigrants.

As for those who still want to gain sympathy by claiming to be from a disadvantaged group and are unwilling to make any effort?

That means he'll have to suffer the consequences of his refusal to listen to reason, and the construction site will welcome him back for the hard labor.

Time passed and the New Year arrived once again. The royal family once again hosted a banquet for their officials at the palace, and everyone welcomed the New Year's bells together amidst laughter and joy.

Unlike previous years, this year's New Year's Eve banquet featured several interesting programs.

Most of the performers were blonde, blue-eyed Western women, ranging from young girls in their late teens to elegant ladies. They all possessed excellent temperament and looks, with great figures and skin, though some of them had a melancholy look in their eyes.

They were once wives and daughters of powerful figures in various Western countries, including first ladies and daughters of wealthy corporations, but now they all work in the brothels.

After the Holy Zhou Kingdom swept across the Western Continent, it did not use force against the common people or the nobles who surrendered voluntarily, ensuring their lives and property safety. However, it treated those who resisted stubbornly or wanted to abscond with their money completely differently, especially those from England and the Aryans who were hiding in the refuge.

After the army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom dragged those people out of the underground shelter, they confiscated all their property. All the men were sent to labor camps, while the pretty women were sent to the brothels, and the less attractive ones were also sent to labor camps.

In fact, the term "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned" has some truth to it. Most girls from wealthy families, unless they become overweight and out of shape, are generally not unattractive. This is because their parents wouldn't marry an unattractive woman, and they are usually well-nourished from childhood, resulting in well-developed figures.

Thus, many former noble ladies and young misses entered the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) and formed the new Yinglan Memorial Song and Dance Troupe and Aryan Memorial Song and Dance Troupe. They have been undergoing training for the past few months and have now basically become qualified dancers.

The royal banquet on New Year's Eve was the first performance by these two dance troupes. Afterward, they would travel throughout the Holy Zhou Kingdom, using their beautiful faces and graceful figures to bring joy and laughter to everyone in the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Actually, this result is already quite good for them. It's just a song and dance performance. The noble ladies and young ladies of defeated kingdoms in ancient times would have suffered even more. Being sent to reward the army and being auctioned off is not a fictional artistic creation, but something that really happened in history.

Perhaps it was because they had finally witnessed the unification of the main continent by the Holy Zhou Kingdom, fulfilling a long-cherished wish.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, on a sunny afternoon, the legendary Empress Wu Tianyi fell asleep with a smile on her face while sunbathing in the back garden, never to wake up again.

Even though she had been mentally prepared for this day, Wu Xiqun still cried her eyes out, and Nangong Yue and Qin Huanyu could only take turns comforting her.

Although the royal family of the Holy Zhou Kingdom no longer participates in the daily governance of the country, it still retains as much of the dignity and prestige as it did in ancient times.

Wu Tianyi's death undoubtedly falls under the category of national mourning. The entire Holy Zhou Kingdom will enter a period of mourning of at least one month, during which all entertainment venues will be closed and game servers will be shut down.

Wu Xiqun will wear black mourning clothes to observe three months of mourning for Wu Tianyi. During this period, all royal affairs will be handled by Nangong Yue. Three months later, the coronation ceremony will be held, and Wu Xiqun will officially become the empress.

It's no longer the ancient situation where a country can't be without a ruler for a day. The Phoenix Pavilion can handle daily government affairs, and the 404 Investigation Bureau and the Treasure Pavilion are there for extraordinary matters. Wu Xiqun can observe mourning for three months without any problems in any aspect.

Unfortunately, it seems that someone wanted to cause trouble and didn't want Wu Tianyi to pass away peacefully.

The first month of Wu Xi's mourning period went well. Some minor incidents occurred in certain areas of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Indeed, some people wanted to cause trouble while the Empress was dead, but they were all quickly suppressed and did not cause any significant disturbance.

The incident occurred in White Eagle Island.

In the second month of Wu Xiqun's mourning period, Qin Huanyu suddenly received a plea for help from the Truth Society through the power of arrogance—the Truth Society's territory was being fiercely attacked by the Apocalypse Warrior Legion, and those cults were about to collapse.

More importantly, there was another piece of news: just two days before the Apocalypse Warrior Legion launched a fierce attack on the Truth Society, the major city on the East Coast had been completely breached, and nearly 8000 million White Eagle people in the city had all become biological materials for the aliens, and the Holy Zhou Kingdom had not received a single piece of intelligence!

Chapter 217 Aerial Combat from Two Sides

Several years ago, when the Yao Guang went to Baiyingzhou to retrieve the Runren, gold, and technical data, the leader of the Truth Society, Yao Ji, took the initiative to contact the Holy Zhou Kingdom. While returning Lei Mingming's remains, she also proposed a cooperative intention, roughly meaning that she wanted to build the entire Baiyingzhou into a huge Shenyin Village in the future, where the supernatural and the human would live their own lives, without interfering with each other, and could cooperate to a limited extent.

At the time, the Holy Zhou Kingdom did not immediately respond to the Truth Society's intention to cooperate, nor did it refuse. Instead, after some further communication, they reached a tacit understanding.

In short, the Holy Zhou Kingdom will not help the Truth Society send troops to deal with the two major human forces on the west and east coasts of White Eagle Continent. However, if the Truth Society can truly gain complete control of White Eagle Continent, the Holy Zhou Kingdom will recognize the Truth Society's ownership of White Eagle Continent, and then conduct detailed peace talks and cooperation.

In recent years, there has been no substantial contact or cooperation between the two sides. Only Yao Ji would leave messages using the little bit of arrogance that Qin Huanyu had given her, and would occasionally say some strange things.

This was the first time Yao Ji had approached Qin Huanyu with serious business, and she never expected it to be a request for help.

Qin Huanyu was both surprised and puzzled:

"You, the Truth Society, can't even defeat the Apocalypse Warrior Legion? How is that possible? You are one of the strongest monsters in the world, and you have so many powerful monsters under your command at the level of Lords of the Ghost Realm!"

"I'll tell you the details later, but right now I really need help!"

The enchantress spoke urgently:

"To be precise, it's not that our Truth Society can't defeat the Apocalypse Warrior Legion, but rather that the Apocalypse Warrior Legion has obtained a weapon that can break through the Ghost Realm... They mainly target human civilians, and we can't protect civilians while fighting those Apocalypse Warriors—there are just too many of them! If you don't want the aliens to create hundreds of thousands more Apocalypse Warriors, you'd better come and help us!"

Without waiting for Qin Huanyu's reply, the Demoness used her power of arrogance to transmit a scene to Qin Huanyu.

Although the Truth Society itself had many bizarre aspects and later created many superhumans through its cult, the number of individual combatants was still far less than that of the Apocalypse Warrior Legion.

Therefore, when facing the attacks of the Apocalypse Warrior Legion, the Truth Society would first transfer the civilians who were not capable of fighting to the Ghost Realm for protection, and then use the elite to fight, relying on the quality of individual combatants to achieve victory.

But this time it won't work.

The Apocalypse Warriors Legion used a new weapon, one that Qin Huanyu recognized somewhat. It could knock the ghost realms from different spatial layers down to the mortal world, depriving the human civilians in the ghost realms of their protection.

Afterwards, one part of the Apocalypse Warriors will hold back the elite monsters of the Truth Society, while another part of the Apocalypse Warriors will take the opportunity to attack the human civilians, abduct them to the Gospel Apocalypse Church, and transform them into new Apocalypse Warriors.

Even the most monstrous and bizarre demon was temporarily restrained by three powerful members of the Church of the Gospel of Revelation. Two of them were likely archbishops of the Church of the Gospel of Revelation, while the remaining one surprised Qin Huanyu once again.

"Phoenix Warrior?"

After carefully examining the images transmitted by the Demoness, Qin Huanyu was 9% certain that the powerful Apocalypse Warrior who could use fire and fly was none other than the Phoenix Demon, the strongest superhuman in the White Eagle Federation.

When the Elf Princess first rose to power, the Phoenix Warrior wanted to go to the Western Continent with his girlfriend Erica to get support for the East Coast metropolis. However, they were ambushed on the way. Despite their best efforts, they only managed to send Erica out, while he himself was captured by the Church of the Apocalypse. There was no news of him for several years afterward. When he reappeared, he had been transformed into an Apocalypse Warrior.

Unlike ordinary people who are melted down and remade using molds when they become Apocalypse Warriors, the Phoenix Warrior basically retains his original appearance. However, around his nostrils, ear canals, and eyes, one can see dense pink tentacles, as thin as hair—when Qin Huanyu first saw them, she thought they were the Phoenix Warrior's nose hairs.

Qin Huanyu had never personally witnessed just how strong the Phoenix Demon was in his human form, but the current Phoenix Demon was indeed very strong and was the main force in restraining the Enchantress—his inextinguishable fire could just counter the Enchantress's unmelting ice, making it difficult for the Enchantress to have a chance to beat up other weaklings.

In just half a day, hundreds of thousands of civilians controlled by the Truth Society were captured. The Enchantress had no other choice but to contact Qin Huanyu for help. She hoped that the Holy Zhou Kingdom could help obtain the weapon that could destroy the Ghost Realm. Once the Apocalypse Warrior Legion lost that weapon, the Truth Society's civilians could once again hide in the Ghost Realm.

Qin Huanyu was also familiar with that weapon; it was very similar to the boundary-breaking missile that the Aryan Dark Raven Guard had used against the Hidden Village, only in a bio-engineered version.

Qin Huanyu had used her magic wand to sense details of southern White Eagle Continent more than once regarding the aliens from the Church of Apocalypse, hoping to uncover their secrets. If she could gain control of their base, that would be even better.

Unfortunately, the aliens in the Church of the Apocalypse have a technological approach similar to the Zerg in a game, using only biotechnology and not electronic devices at all, rendering Qin Huanyu's strongest methods almost useless.

The boundary-breaking missiles that the Apocalypse Warrior Legion is using to attack the Truth Society are not real missiles, but rather self-destructing caterpillars about the size of missiles, launched from a giant insect hive controlled by an Apocalypse Warrior in the central region of White Eagle Continent.

After receiving and integrating the information from the Demoness, Qin Huanyu did not act on her own initiative, but immediately reported it to the authorities.

Fengge and members of the royal family held an emergency meeting on the matter, but still could not reach a decision.

Some elders thought they should help the Truth Society, but many more believed that the aliens and the bizarre were just fighting like dogs, and that the Holy Zhou Kingdom could simply reap the benefits.

Wu Xiqun, still dressed in black mourning clothes, remained silent throughout the meeting. After the elders had argued for a while, she finally looked at Qin Huanyu, who had also remained silent:

"Sister Yu, what do you think? Do you think we should support the Truth Society?"
