Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"...That's about enough, Ayu, it's time for you to make your move."

Lying on the experimental table, Qin Hai, whose body surface was mostly metallic, still spoke in a calm and gentle voice to Qin Huanyu, whose eyes were red:

"Use your ability to read my memories. With my feelings and insights from the past few days, you will surely be able to save everything before it becomes too late."

"I……"

Qin Huanyu gritted her teeth, her body swaying unsteadily, unable to stand.

However, the alloy tentacles on her back were still slowly approaching Qin Hai's head, preparing to read Qin Hai's memories through a direct connection.

Because the awakening of superpowers inevitably leads to a berserk state, Qin Hai's own consciousness and memories may be damaged at that time. Now is the last and best opportunity.

Just as the spikes at the top of the alloy tentacles touched Qin Hai's head, Qin Huanyu bit her lips and tongue until they bled.

—Does sacrificing Dad really have to save everything?

No... I don't want this, never!

It's just a matter of finding a cure for pica. With my unparalleled wisdom, I'm sure I can figure it out! I definitely can!

A strong sense of unwillingness and reluctance made Qin Huanyu even calmer. Details that she had always unusually ignored in the past were now very clear in her mind.

For example, the attitudes of the Demoness and the Black Tortoise, and some of the strange things they said that seemed inexplicable.

For example, his own abilities, some peculiar reactions, and the inexplicable importance that the Holy Zhou Kingdom placed on him since childhood... The answer is actually quite simple.

It turns out that I really am the best in the world; I've just been choosing to escape like a fool all this time.

But now there's no escape.

I need wisdom.

I need wisdom that can both save everything and keep my father safe and sound.

Therefore, I must become... no, I am a witch, I always have been.

The all-knowing witch, Laplace's witch.

. . . . .

Qin Huanyu's eyes shone like stars in the sky.

Chapter 224 The Witch's Awakening and the Ascension of All (The Finale)

They're back, they're all back.

The moment Qin Huanyu realized that she was the true witch, all her sealed memories and powers returned.

After all, the witch is the true strongest monster, the strongest among the four strongest monsters, and by a significant margin. Unless she herself is willing, no one can seal her away. And when she sincerely desires to regain her power, no one can stop her awakening.

That seemingly omnipotent power intoxicated Qin Huanyu, and the problems that had troubled her before were no longer problems for her at all.

It was nothing more than the evolutionary light of a mere parasitic civilization. Qin Huanyu only glanced at her father, and thousands of perfect solutions to the problem of eating different kinds of food had already appeared in her mind.

But Qin Huanyu didn't feel happy at all; instead, she gave a bitter laugh.

It was precisely because she remembered everything that Qin Huanyu now fully understood that her act of awakening had caused a great disaster.

Compared to the potential disaster that the full awakening of a witch could cause, the pica caused by the Light of Evolution is nothing.

This is also why Qin Huanyu became Qin Huanyu—the reason why she voluntarily allowed herself to be sealed away back then.

Before the world war between the Holy Zhou Kingdom and the Free Alliance broke out a century ago, human technology entered a period of rapid development, and a number of outstanding figures emerged.

Laplace, Schrödinger, and Maxwell were all outstanding figures of that era. Their theories and discoveries were like science fiction to people at the time. The newest, trendiest, and coolest science fiction-style monsters, such as witches and enchantresses, were also born during that period.

However, the witch at the beginning was not very powerful, because Laplace's scientific conjecture was only to deduce everything through extremely meticulous observation and super strong calculation... Although she was very strong, she was not strong enough to be omniscient.

The witches who were born at that time had little emotion and spent their days observing and calculating everything around them.

Later, when war broke out, the witch did not interfere in the early and middle stages. Instead, she observed the war itself from the shadows, acting as a pure observer and recorder.

It wasn't until the later stages of the war, when both sides, blinded by rage, began to abandon morality and resort to any means necessary, causing massive civilian casualties with various insane tactics, that the witch finally made her move.

She had no choice but to intervene. According to the witch's calculations, if she didn't, there was an over 86% chance that human civilization would perish in the civil war. And after humanity's demise, the monsters born from the accumulated resentment of humanity would also perish.

So the witch intervened, but instead of using force, she directly bestowed calm and wisdom upon the decision-makers on both sides of the war, making them realize that the war had become a complete disaster and that they must sit down and negotiate.

Ultimately, the witch's plan succeeded, the war ended, and the world ushered in decades of peace.

However, the existence of witches also became known to humans, making contact between the two sides inevitable.

Fortunately, because the witch had previously stopped the war and shown goodwill, she did not have any conflict with humans, but instead established a pleasant cooperative relationship.

The emergence of many strange and advanced technologies by humankind is inseparable from the help of witches, and witches have also experienced a kind of pleasure that they never had when they were observing alone in the dark, because of human social activities.

Humanity's understanding and perception of the bizarre largely depend on the cooperation of witches. Even man-made bizarre projects like Dr. Suzuran's initially involved witches.

After realizing that bizarre abilities originated from human imagination, humanity quickly devised a grand, far-fetched plan. The participants were all core high-ranking officials from the Holy Zhou Kingdom and the White Eagle Federation, with the highest-ranking person in charge of the human side being the former Holy Zhou Kingdom Empress Wu Tianyi.

The project is called "The Omniscient Witch".

The entire plan was based on the idea that the authorities would intentionally guide people's thinking, thereby gradually changing people's understanding of Laplace's theory, so that the witch would gain greater power and know all the mysteries of the universe.

The witch promised humanity that once she achieved omniscience, she would share all her wisdom with them, allowing human civilization to leap forward and reach its maximum level instantly, like a game character with cheat codes.

So, for a period of time several decades ago, under the covert manipulation of the world's two most powerful nations, various science fiction works became popular, and one of the most popular settings was that Laplace's witch possessed omniscience.

Of course, the official guidance of this trend was only covert, so naturally many people followed suit and created similar settings for other science fiction stories... Among them, the most outstanding and successful were the three: the Enchantress, the Cat Girl, and the Xuan Turtle.

Schrödinger's cat, existing in a superposition of life and death, transforms into a magical catgirl capable of traversing parallel universes and even traveling to other worlds.

Maxwell's demon, which could only reverse the flow of heat, transformed into a witch capable of creating unmelting ice and even wielding the power of entropy reversal.

The Cheese Tortoise, which originally had a flawed understanding of mathematics from ancient times, has been transformed into a Xuan Turtle Loli with infinite spatial power.

The three of them thus met the witch and became close, eccentric sisters.

The three freaks who became stronger by following the trend all benefited greatly, so the witch, who was the main focus of the promotion, naturally received an even greater boost.

The witch successfully gained the opportunity to become an omniscient witch, but this also triggered a disaster—a massive disaster that could at least wipe out humanity and possibly take the Earth with it.

The reason for all of this is that those executing the "Omniscient Witch" project underestimated the concept of omniscience.

They all thought that the so-called omniscient witch knew all the secrets of the universe, and was like a human encyclopedia with all its contents written in it, but in fact she was far more than that.

Because omniscience also means omnipotence.

Omniscience and omnipotence cannot exist independently.

The omniscient must be omnipotent, and the omnipotent must be omniscient.

The omniscient one knows the answers to all problems, and the omnipotent one can solve all problems.

The omnipotent can do anything, and the omniscient know how to do anything.

Having attained omniscience, one also attains omnipotence and omniscience, becoming a true deity.

Just as Yi Youyou could theoretically create a black hole by hand but could never actually do so, the witch could not achieve omniscience either—even the miraculous power that ignores the laws of physics must abide by the most basic law of conservation of energy, and the witch's spiritual strength was insufficient for her to reach true omniscience.

However, at that time, due to the "Omniscient Witch" project, the idea that Laplace's witch should be omniscient was already deeply ingrained in people's minds... And the bizarre cannot go against human desires, just as the God of Pure Love could never accept a minotaur.

The witch, who had already begun her ascension to the omniscient witch, couldn't stop.

But the witch's own spiritual energy was not strong enough to complete the advancement, so what could she do? Of course, she could replenish it by injecting spiritual energy from nature into her body.

Under the influence of the collective power of human thoughts, the witch, who has begun to ascend, continuously draws upon the spiritual essence of nature.

But how easy is it to achieve the state of an omniscient and omnipotent true god?

During her ascension process, the witch quickly used her original abilities to calculate that even if she absorbed all the spiritual elements on Earth, her chances of successfully ascending would be less than 0.8%.

If it were just a witch failing to ascend, that would be one thing, but even if she fails to ascend, she will still drain all the spiritual energy from the earth.

The existence of spirits has existed on Earth for countless years and has long been an indispensable part of the balance of nature.

The disaster caused by draining all the spiritual energy on Earth would not be much worse than draining all the oxygen or nitrogen.

In fact, at that time, the world was already experiencing imbalances due to the massive loss of spiritual energy, with various extreme weather events and natural disasters occurring one after another, causing loss of life and property to many people.

The members of the "Omniscient Witch" project team were forced to admit their failure and work with the witch to find a way to stop the disaster.

The result was the birth of Qin Huanyu.

The witch actively cooperated with humanity's advanced technology and secret arts, sealing her own power and memories, and most importantly, sealing her own cognition—as long as she did not know that she was a witch, her advancement process would be suspended for a long time, like a bug.

Under the sealing technique, the witch was transformed into a human baby girl. Then, the White Eagle Federation used advanced technology to implant a self-awareness similar to AI into this human baby girl, while allowing the true witch's consciousness to remain dormant deep within her soul, thereby further preventing the possibility of the witch's accidental awakening.

However, humanity underestimated the power of witches.

When the girl was about 3 years old, the AI ​​consciousness had already been assimilated and absorbed by the witch. The witch herself did not want to do this, but she was too strong. Even the aura that emanated when she was asleep was not something that a mere AI could resist. It was inevitable that she would be infected and completely assimilated.

At that time, according to the estimate of Qin Hai, a genius scientist who had joined the "Omniscient Witch" project, the witch would awaken from her seal in at most one year, and it would not be so easy to seal her again. Even if the witch was willing to cooperate, it would not work, because she was too powerful.

So the members of the "Omniscient Witch" project team began searching for a power or substance that could resist the witch's corruption, and they quickly found one.

The power of the warriors passed down through generations of the royal family of the Holy Zhou Kingdom can resist the witch's corruption. As long as a member of the royal family becomes the witch's vessel, the witch can remain dormant in the depths of her consciousness for a long time.

Before that great war, this method would have been feasible. Although the royal family of Sheng Zhou Kingdom had always practiced monogamy, they had more than one child, so sacrificing a princess was not a problem at all, and the royal family members were also aware of this.

Unfortunately, too many members of the royal family died in that great battle, including Wu Xiqun's parents—at that time, there were only Wu Tianyi and Wu Xiqun left in the royal family, and it was impossible to let them become the vessel for the witch.

Fortunately, through his research on the phenomenon of the hero's power resisting the witch's corruption, Qin Hai quickly discovered that the reason why the hero's power was not afraid of the witch's corruption was because it did not belong to this world.

Therefore, Qin Hai boldly speculated that the power or consciousness from another world might be able to suppress the witch's awakening.

Thus, another plan was born, and the executors of the plan were Qin Hai's old friends and rivals from university, namely Yi Youyou's parents.

They received a top-secret order directly from the Queen to find the catgirl who had died in despair after the witch's accident—because the catgirl could freely travel between parallel worlds and could bring power or consciousness from other worlds to keep the witch asleep.

The catgirl herself didn't really want the witch to fall asleep, but she respected the witch's choice. However, because she was unhappy, she made a condition when she agreed to help—that Yi Youyou's parents be her travel companions and take care of her like a young lady during the trip.

Yi Youyou's parents agreed.

So the catgirl led the two of them on a quest through parallel worlds, and finally, just before the witch was about to awaken at the age of four, they found the soul of a college student whose head was full of yellow junk from a parallel world that had no supernatural powers.

The reason they chose this kind of soul is that, according to the cat girls, since a witch who is extremely thirsty for knowledge is equivalent to a super academic genius, then they should use the soul of a super academic failure to influence her, preferably turning her into a lazy dog ​​who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, so that she will not be easily awakened.

That's why Qin Huanyu has the memory of when she was 4 years old—a witch full of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is about to awaken inside her, and a third-rate transmigrator with a fourth-rate system wants to possess her.

Actually, that was a mistaken perception she had under the spell of the cognitive seal. The witch who was about to awaken, full of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) energy, was herself. She was indeed a third-rate, useless transmigrator, except that transmigrator only had a head full of yellow waste and no system—that system was actually a remnant of the previous AI consciousness.

The plan was finally successful; the witch's awakening was successfully stopped, and her self-identity changed back to that of a real human little girl.

According to the original script arranged by the Holy Zhou Kingdom, a Grand Secretary would soon visit the orphanage where the little girl was staying, hit it off with her at first sight, adopt her, and take her back to the capital to raise her as a pampered young lady, preferably turning her into a mere ornament and a useless person.

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. Even though the witch willingly allowed herself to be sealed into a human, she couldn't possibly be an ordinary human—the little girl soon awakened an ability called the Mathematical Eye and displayed a strong desire to perform.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom had no choice but to change its plans and have Qin Hai adopt the little girl and instill correct values ​​in her... which led to the later Qin Huanyu.

As for the participants in the "Omniscient Witch" project, the White Eagle Federation was clearly involved. So why did the witch have to grow up in the Holy Zhou Kingdom after being sealed away? Actually, it's quite simple.

Because the White Eagle elites who participated in the [Omniscient Witch] project were only elites at that time, it was difficult for them to maintain their power and status in White Eagle indefinitely, while the Holy Zhou Kingdom had eternal imperial power... at least the royal family always had enough power.

To prevent the Omniscient Witch from being known by those who shouldn't, it's safest for the sealed witch to live in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, a point agreed upon by the White Eagle people among the plan's participants.

However, the royal family of Saint Zhou also promised the White Eagle people in the plan that Saint Zhou would never use the witch's power to actively invade the White Eagle Federation.

The reason why the Holy Week Parliament made various concessions to General Ron instead of directly sending troops to destroy him was due to that promise from back then.

Later, when Qin Huanyu grew up, she wanted to join the 404 Investigation Bureau as an investigator. After analysis, the relevant psychological expert team believed that her wish should be granted—it's better to guide than to block. Forcibly isolating her life from the bizarre and extraordinary world would only increase the possibility of accidents.

On the contrary, as long as Qin Huanyu continues to live happily without worries, the witch-like true self deep within her soul will most likely remain dormant.

After careful consideration, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Zhou Kingdom agreed to this point and decided not to interfere too much with Qin Huanyu's own choices, letting her do whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy.

Therefore, when Qin Huanyu faced the embodiment of jealousy, she truly felt no jealousy at all—because she always got what she wanted, and had nothing to be jealous of.

Unfortunately, the witch eventually awakened.

Qin Hai successfully trained the sealed witch into an outstanding young woman, but this also became one of her biggest weaknesses.

When Qin Hai's life and soul were in imminent danger, Qin Huanyu finally couldn't resist her deepest desire for power and wisdom, and broke through all the seals.

Those seals required her full cooperation to be effective, so when she wanted to wake up, there were no more seals that could keep her asleep.

However, this also created new problems.

The ascension of the Omniscient Witch, which had been suspended for more than twenty years, has begun again... Now, every millisecond, a massive amount of spiritual energy is gathering and being absorbed into Qin Huanyu's body, and as a result, extreme weather has begun to appear in the world.

If this continues, there's no need to wait for the full-blown outbreak of pica; the natural imbalance caused by the depletion of spiritual energy will be enough to destroy the Earth—at least humanity will certainly perish.

Time is running out for Qin Huanyu.

Self-sealing again?

After a brief deduction, Qin Huanyu gently shook her head.
