Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

The only relatively relaxed position in the entire 404 Investigation Bureau is that of the Inspector, so Qin Huanyu and her team, who were supposed to have a month of new recruit training, had to end it early.

After receiving the mission, Ling immediately left with the military personnel who came to pick her up. Qin Huanyu and the other two bought a lot of ingredients and had a big meal at Bai Ling's house before deciding to disband.

Qin Huanyu is in charge of Baiguang City in the east, Bai Ling is in charge of Nanhu City in the south, and Cheng Hai is in charge of Shanbei City in the north. The distance between any two cities is no more than 300 kilometers.

They will then officially return to their territories to assume the duties of investigators, responsible for supernatural cases in their own cities and surrounding villages and towns. When they encounter difficult cases, they will first seek help from the other two. If they still cannot solve the problem, they will continue to report to the Investigation Bureau and ask the Inspector for help.

After returning to Baiguang City, Qin Huanyu spent two days at the police station, telling her colleagues that she had officially taken office as an investigator and that they could ask her for help first if they encountered any strange cases in the future.

After that, Qin Huanyu returned to the Lingsu Research Institute. Apart from spending time with Qin Haiwai during meals, she devoted herself almost entirely to her own studio.

Although she has a restless personality, Qin Huanyu's abilities are still too suitable for research. She has her own studio in the research institute, and no one will say anything about it, even though the studio is empty for more than 300 days a year.

When she is in the mood or needs it, Qin Huanyu can also stay in her studio and work on some small inventions.

For example, the steel cable wrist guards were entirely made by Qin Huanyu himself, and Qin Huanyu also participated in the invention and subsequent improvement of the plasma bomb.

This time, Qin Huanyu once again plunged into the studio, naturally to optimize her equipment and improve her combat effectiveness when facing bizarre and evil creatures.

The steel cable bracers have performed very well in recent incidents, so Qin Huanyu plans to upgrade this equipment.

She took out the reward she had received in the Green Claw Mountain cannibal case: a piece of dark gray metal no bigger than an egg.

This is an extremely rare metal found in very small quantities on Earth, called Absolute Spirit Iron, which seems to have not even been discovered in the parallel world of the transmigrator.

The physical properties of the spirit iron are not very strong; it is weaker than even pig iron, let alone compared to various industrial alloys.

However, the Spirit-Extinguishing Iron has a very powerful characteristic, which is also the reason for its high price and its name.

If we consider spirit essence as electrical energy, then the spirit-insulating iron is a true insulator with resistance infinitely close to infinity, and its effect is unaffected by the effects of spirit essence.

Zero mentioned that many investigators and patrol officers in the Investigation Bureau like to make themselves a piece of equipment after accumulating a certain amount of Absolute Spirit Iron, which often has a surprising effect on cases.

How to deal with the enemy's spiritual techniques has always been Qin Huanyu's weakness, and she has long wanted to own a piece of Spirit-Extinguishing Iron equipment.

Unfortunately, the Absolute Spirit Iron is a strictly controlled resource. Even research institutes can only apply for a very small amount, and it is all used for critical research. Even though Qin Huanyu is the director's adopted daughter, it is still difficult for her to obtain it... If she really wants it, Qin Hai will definitely give it to her, but Qin Hai himself will likely face questioning and criticism afterward.

Now, Qin Huanyu finally has her own way of obtaining the Spirit-Extinguishing Iron.

Although this piece of supernatural iron, which is smaller than an egg, cannot be used to forge any equipment, Qin Huanyu has her own methods.

She planned to use a gilding technique to plate the surface of the steel cable wristbands with these spirit irons.

Chapter 65 New Equipment Development

Gold-plated jewelry is certainly not as valuable as pure gold jewelry, but even at its cheapest, it's still much more expensive than plastic ornaments and glass beads.

The same applies to equipment plated with spirit-repelling iron. It cannot compare to pure spirit-repelling iron equipment, but it still provides some protection against spirit attacks and is definitely much better than taking the hit with your bare body.

For now, Qin Huanyu can only make do with what she has. She will save up more Spirit Iron later and then forge equipment made from high-purity Spirit Iron.

According to a fixed formula developed by our ancestors, the spirit-repelling iron is made into an electroplating solution. Then, in a special electromagnetic environment, the steel cable wristband is soaked in the electroplating solution, and the originally bright silver wristband turns gray.

After some post-processing, the entire process of plating the wristband with galvanized iron is complete. The next step is to conduct some tests.

The Ling Su Research Institute has been studying Ling Su for many years, and it is still possible to create some artificial Ling Su environments, but most of them are not very stable or are too expensive.

Fortunately, the tests Qin Huanyu performed were relatively simple and there were no major problems.

She first placed the wristband coated with spirit-repelling iron in a glass box for observation. The box contained an artificially created environment with a high concentration of spirit essence.

Normal metals will be affected to some extent if they stay in this environment for a long time, just like those enchanted or cursed weapons in games.

However, the wristbands coated with spirit-repelling iron were placed in the box for a full 50 hours without any obvious changes, and only a small amount of spirit essence remained on the surface after they were taken out.

Qin Huanyu was very satisfied with this and began the second test.

She found an alloy ring made of the same material as the original steel cable wristband and placed it, along with the current steel cable wristband, into two spirit flames of equal intensity for a comparative experiment.

After a few minutes of burning with the spiritual flames, the ordinary alloy ring was already red-hot and deformed, while the steel cable wristband plated with the spirit-repelling iron was only quite hot to the touch and did not affect its use.

"Not bad."

The test results were better than Qin Huanyu had expected, and she was very satisfied. She then began to implement the second research and development plan.

The second research and development plan is naturally to improve Qin Huanyu's lethality against spirit enemies.

The reward for the Class A case was originally a good opportunity, but Qin Huanyu had already chosen the Kanglong Mace, which was more suited to her own abilities.

The strategy of leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses relies on powerful tools and techniques, while avoiding weaknesses requires other forms of wisdom.

Qin Huanyu had two ideas for this.

The first idea is to upgrade existing plasma bombs to create more powerful plasma grenades.

Many spirits are durable not because of their long health bars, but because of their fast health regeneration.

If a volley of plasma bullets fails to kill it, the enemy's health bar may have already recovered by the time you reload.

In situations like these, having an attack method with extremely high single-burst output that can instantly kill an enemy at full health or finish them off quickly with plasma bombs would greatly improve the combat experience.

The second approach is to leverage the advantages of the venue.

Qin Huanyu's personal experiences with the Jealousy Incarnation case and the Green Claw Mountain Cannibal case made her understand things.

In open field combat, she can call for military support. No matter how resilient the enemy is, they will be annihilated by modern firepower. There is not much to worry about.

The real challenge lies in solving cases involving supernatural beings in human settlements, because the existence of supernatural powers cannot be known to the public, thus many methods are unusable.

However, human settlements also have advantages, namely that with the coverage of modern technology, alternating current power sources can be found almost everywhere.

Qin Huanyu's idea was to create a weapon that could be quickly charged using alternating current.

The technology of arc rifles, or arc hand cannons, capable of firing high-voltage arcs directly at targets, has actually existed for a long time.

Unfortunately, current human technology cannot create sufficiently powerful small capacitors. Previously tested arc rifles and arc hand cannons would completely run out of energy after firing only three shots, and only the first shot could guarantee power, while the power of the subsequent two shots would be weakened.

Qin Huanyu had previously participated in the research of new capacitors, but unfortunately the results were not significant, and the arc rifle weapon program was once shelved.

Qin Huanyu has now changed her research and development approach. She no longer pursues ultra-large capacity capacitors, but instead tries to find a way to enable the weapon to be quickly charged with AC power, so that it can deliver two powerful arc attacks when fully charged.

This makes the research and development feasibility much higher than before.

However, even with extraordinary powers like the Mathematical Eye, developing a new weapon is not something that can be done overnight. Qin Huanyu could only maintain the lowest attendance rate at the police station and spent most of her time in the research institute's workshop.

(New equipment for the female police officer in black stockings is under development...)

. . . . .

Redwood Town is a small town located about 5 kilometers west of Shirakawa City. It is named after the trees in the vicinity that are slightly redder than normal trees. It is also the western terminus of Shirakawa City Metro Line 3.

Around 10:30 p.m. that night, the last subway train bound for Hongmu Town Station was running with a clanging sound.

The subway driver was quite excited, as he was about to finish his shift and go home. His beautiful girlfriend, whom he had been dating for a short time, had finally agreed to go on a date with him at a hotel. She was already dressed in her newly bought "winning outfit" and had booked a room at the Love Hotel to wait for him.

While daydreaming about the wonderful moments of the night, the subway driver was noticeably less focused than usual and made a mistake.

Tragedy struck.

The subway train, which was about to enter the station, should have slowed down, but instead accelerated, and then slowed down too abruptly, causing it to derail.

The derailed train did not crash into the platform, but instead rammed into the other side of the subway tunnel, creating a large hole in the tunnel wall.

The subway driver, who was dreaming of enjoying the best moments of life, died on the spot. Some unlucky passengers followed suit, and most others were injured. Even the luckiest passengers were dazed and confused in the carriage and had no strength to get up for a short time.

Fortunately, this was the last train to its final destination, and there were fewer than 30 people on board. If such an accident had occurred during peak hours or at a major transfer station, the death toll would likely have been dozens of times higher.

Worse still, after the train crashed through the tunnel wall, it seemed to have opened up a previously undiscovered underground space, and a faint, blood-red mist leaked out.

The first to come into contact with the blood-red mist were naturally the bodies of the victims inside the train wreckage.

Those bodies, whose heads were severely deformed or who had lost a lot of blood, and who seemed to have no signs of life, suddenly moved in the blood-red mist and stood up unsteadily.

The 'people' who stood up again could no longer be called people. Their eyes were unfocused, saliva and blood dripped incessantly, and they moved slowly but were very strong, acting on some kind of instinct.

Chapter 66: A Zombie Outbreak!

Qin Huanyu, who was still in seclusion at the research institute developing new equipment, suddenly received an urgent contact from the Baiguang City Police Department.

The caller was Xiao Liu, who often ran errands for her.

"Sister Yu, something terrible has happened! There's a zombie outbreak in Redwood Town! Many people have already been bitten or killed by zombies, and there are still many zombies wandering around the town!"

"Is it a zombie outbreak?"

Qin Huanyu was initially annoyed that her research and development had been interrupted, but she quickly calmed down after hearing that something had actually happened:

"Understood, I'll head to the scene right away... Did Uncle Bai give any orders?"

"The director has already handled the situation according to the emergency response plan."

Xiao Liu reported clearly and logically over the phone:

"All the armed police in Baiguang City have been deployed and will seal off Hongmu Town. At the same time, civilian network signals in and around Hongmu Town have been cut off to ensure that this incident will not be filmed by the public and uploaded to the Internet. The Cyber ​​Security Department is contacting major Internet companies to delete and ban accounts that have already been uploaded."

"Well done!"

Qin Huanyu didn't hold back her praise, while her mind raced, recalling all the common zombies in the Investigation Bureau's database.

As one of the top research institutions in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, the Lingsu Research Institute is quite familiar with the distribution of its domestic counterparts, and Qin Huanyu is certain that there are no secret biological laboratories in Redwood Town.

The sudden zombie outbreak in Redwood Town was probably unrelated to biological experiments, but rather the work of some kind of supernatural force.

Thinking of this, Qin Huanyu quickly changed from her white coat into police shorts while giving instructions to Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone:

"Please tell Uncle Bai or the commander of the armed police force that they can start rescuing the town's residents immediately after sealing off Redwood Town. There should still be quite a few survivors inside."

"However, the armed police rescue teams must only conduct rescue operations in open areas on the ground and must not easily enter any buildings, especially underground spaces."

"When you encounter something that you can be sure is a zombie, shoot it directly, prioritizing the head. If shooting the head doesn't kill it, shoot the legs to hinder its movement—most zombies lose their ability to move after their legs are severed."

“The rescued residents of the town, regardless of whether they have injuries or not, must be quarantined. During the quarantine, those with external injuries must be separated from those without.”

“The townspeople without external injuries will first be exposed to ultraviolet light for half an hour, and then a weak electric current will be applied to them... If there are no abnormal reactions, the danger can be eliminated.”

"The townspeople who have been cleared of danger have all signed confidentiality agreements, and their memories of the past few hours have been blurred with medication."

"Afterwards, we can first give each town resident 2 yuan in economic compensation. The 404 Investigation Bureau will definitely provide this money. For the remaining property losses, we will help them contact insurance companies for compensation."

“Those small town residents with obvious external injuries can be treated with ultraviolet light and weak current first, but they must not be released after treatment. Their freedom must be restricted and they must be guarded by the armed police for observation for a period of time.”

Xiao Liu repeatedly agreed on the other end of the phone. After confirming that Qin Huanyu had no further instructions, he hung up and went to carry them out.

At this moment, Qin Huanyu had already left the research institute and gotten on her motorcycle. Holding the handlebars in one hand and her phone in the other, she thought for a moment and then called Bai Ling and Cheng Hai respectively.

It was clear that Bai Ling and Cheng Hai were more skilled at dealing with zombies, so Qin Huanyu asked them for help, asking them to at least find a way to deal with the zombie's corpse poison.

Unfortunately, Cheng Hai and Bai Ling were both dealing with cases in their own cities, but dealing with the corpse poison was not difficult for them, and they both provided assistance to the best of their ability.

Cheng Hai's junior disciples will rush to Baiguang City overnight. They are not very strong in combat, but they are all well-versed in Buddhism and can chant sutras to help the rescued town residents expel the corpse poison from their bodies.

Bai Ling also said that she would have someone deliver more than 400 pills that could suppress the corpse poison overnight, which was all she currently had in stock.

After thanking her two teammates, Qin Huanyu hung up the phone and sped off.

In a whirlwind of speed, Qin Huanyu arrived at Hongmu Town in less than 20 minutes. By then, the armed police had already completed the blockade and were launching a rescue operation.

After observing for a while and confirming that the armed police were strictly following orders, Qin Huanyu did not interfere much. She simply asked the armed police commander for a few skilled people to work with her.

Compared to rescuing the still trapped residents of the town, Qin Huanyu has a more important task—to find the source of this zombie outbreak and find a way to deal with it properly.

With the help of a special mobile phone that can detect the concentration of spiritual essence, it was not difficult. Qin Huanyu and several armed police officers easily found their target—the Hongmu Town subway station.

In fact, even without detecting the concentration of spiritual energy in the environment, one could sense the anomaly upon arriving here. The blood-red mist continuously gushing out from the subway station entrances was visible to the naked eye, and two armed police officers who inadvertently inhaled the mist soon experienced dizziness.

Bang bang bang bang!

Qin Huanyu pulled out the plasma bullet and emptied the magazine without hesitation, firing a shot at everyone present, including herself.

The plasma clusters numbed their bodies for several seconds, and those directly hit suffered minor burns, but the shock also jolted them out of the influence of the blood-red mist.

"Retreat first!"

Qin Huanyu decisively ordered a retreat and notified all armed police officers involved in the rescue in the town not to approach the subway station.

Fortunately, the subway had already stopped at this point, so there was no need to worry about the blood-red fog spreading the disaster area along the subway tunnel.

However, necessary measures are still necessary. Qin Huanyu called Xiao Liu and asked Xiao Liu to bring people wearing full sets of biochemical protective equipment to enter from the subway station in front of Hongmu Town Station to check if the area has been eroded by the blood-red mist along the tunnel. If not, the tunnel should be physically isolated immediately.

After giving these instructions, Qin Huanyu went back to the temporary command post outside Hongmu Town, found a stun gun, and started giving herself a good shock.

After confirming that she was still mentally alert and physically healthy, Qin Huanyu returned to Hongmu Town to personally participate in the frontline rescue operation.

She was agile and had far more relevant knowledge than ordinary armed police officers. She also possessed the Mathematical Magic Eye, and quickly rescued several trapped town residents. She also used the Dragon-Slaying Mace to kill more than 10 zombies.

Fortunately, these zombies are not too difficult to deal with. Apart from being a little strong, they are quite weak and move as slowly as puppets. If you blow their heads off, they will stop moving completely.

Suddenly, Qin Huanyu heard a rather heated argument. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the two sides arguing were a woman in her thirties and two armed police officers.
