Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"Madam, I've finished the modeling work. Shouldn't you keep your promise?"

"Of course, actually I'm already done... Didn't you want to know the source and uploader of that pornographic video about the two women and the tower? I've already found them~~"

Being able to submit her manuscript on time seemed to put Mrs. Amakusa at ease. She started drinking with Zero, freely displaying her voluptuous figure, which greatly attracted Qin Huanyu's attention.

"what?"

But Qin Huanyu immediately lost interest in watching the game, her eyes widening in disbelief:

"It's over so quickly? Don't you need to perform any rituals or spells?"

"Ugh...why would I need that?"

Mrs. Amakusa's alcohol tolerance was clearly lower than Zero's; after only a few sips, her face turned red, and she tilted her head, sticking out her tongue repeatedly, appearing quite astringent.

"I'm a weirdo! The weirdo you guys call the 'Know-it-all of Erotic Resources'! The moment that video was uploaded to the internet, I already knew all the information about the uploader and the source. I just need to think about it and then tell you, right?"

"Ah... well, as expected of the bizarre."

Even though she had learned a lot about the bizarre since childhood, Qin Huanyu was still somewhat surprised by the bizarre's abilities.

Fortunately, Mrs. Amakusa is an ally, and it's a good thing that an ally is capable.

With a sigh, Qin Huanyu asked seriously:

"So? Where exactly was that video uploaded? And who uploaded it?"

Let me answer your first question first... Do you have a map of your city?

Mrs. Amakusa extended her fair, delicate hand to Qin Huanyu. As Qin Huanyu opened her phone and handed it to her, she casually scratched Qin Huanyu's palm and gave her a suggestive wink.

"cough!"

It wasn't until Zero coughed beside her and reminded her that Mrs. Amakusa became serious. She swiped her finger twice on the map on Qin Huanyu's phone, then zoomed in with two more fingers before finally pointing to a location:

"This is it... Although the spatial layers of the actual location are different from reality, this is the intersection point, and you can only enter from here."

"Different spatial levels?"

Qin Huanyu frowned as she looked at the spot where Mrs. Amakusa was pointing:

"Could there be a ghostly subspace here?"

The existence of subspace is documented in many books, and the Lingsu Research Institute has also conducted research on it.

The immortal caves, monster grottoes, overseas fairy islands, and underwater dragon palaces of the ancient Eastern Divine Continent, as well as the divine kingdoms and demonic dungeons of the ancient Western Continent, all belong to the subspace. They are unique scenes that are connected to the present world but do not occupy a space in the present world, similar to dungeons in a game.

Unfortunately, the research institute has not yet been able to conduct in-depth research on the subspace using technological means, and most of the ancient subspace secret realms have been lost or damaged. At present, the only subspace that Qin Huanyu knows for certain is a secret realm controlled by the royal family.

In addition, because the monsters of the new era are very different from the monsters of the old era, the non-man-made subspaces of the present era are collectively called the Ghost Realm. They were created by a few very powerful monsters and evil beings using spiritual elements. These monsters and evil beings of this level are also called the Lords of the Ghost Realm. They are considered to be the third tier below the four strongest monsters and incarnations of original sin, and are the true mainstay of monsters and evil beings.

If there really is a ghost realm within Baiguang City, then Qin Huanyu must be prepared for a tough battle.

"Hmm... it shouldn't be considered a true ghost realm yet, right? After all, that child was only born not long ago. Although it has gathered the intense thoughts overflowing from many people, it is not yet powerful enough to be the lord of the ghost realm."

Mrs. Amakusa rubbed her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then wiped away a trace of wine from the corner of her mouth with her finger before saying:

"That subspace was formed naturally and was cleverly occupied by TA using emotional resonance. You can enter in the same way. TA has not yet become the lord of that ghost realm, so you don't need to worry about being suppressed by the environment after you enter. It's roughly equivalent to a fair duel in a neutral zone in a game."

"A natural ghost realm that has not yet been occupied? I understand."

Qin Huanyu nodded and stared at the map for a moment.

She recognized the place Mrs. Amakusa was pointing to right away. It was a five-story food court, very large in scale but not very successful. It was one of the lowest-grossing food courts in Shirokage City.

This place actually has a natural ghost town? That doesn't make sense... Even the worst food court is still a popular spot, how could a natural ghost town possibly exist here? These things usually only appear in desolate mountains and wild places with heavy yin energy...

Shaking her head, Qin Huanyu pulled herself back to reality.

Why the food court is haunted is no longer important; what matters is how to enter and eliminate the culprit behind this case, and to find out the culprit's true identity.

So she asked Mrs. Amakusa:

"What kind of bizarre entity uploaded that video? Is it also a kind of online oddity like you?"

"It's pretty much the same. You could even say that it was born from online pornography culture, but it can't gather as many human thoughts as I can, so its abilities aren't as strong as mine."

Mrs. Amakusa nodded, then sighed:

"But its emotions are much more intense than mine, and its thoughts and behaviors are more extreme than mine. Compared to me, who only wants to be horny, it is undoubtedly a great threat to your human society... I guess you will not tolerate its continued existence."

"This will be determined by us humans... If they are willing to communicate and compromise, we humans are not incapable of giving them a chance."

Qin Huanyu responded seriously, then continued to press for an answer:

"So what exactly is TA?"

"What exactly is TA... emmm."

Mrs. Amakusa pondered for a moment, probably thinking about how to describe it:

"In the online culture dominated by anime and manga, there's a phrase you've definitely heard: 'Pure love warrior slays minotaur,' right?"

"Yes, I have heard of it."

Qin Huanyu nodded gently, her eyes sparkling:

"Madam, do you mean... the monster we're facing this time is the God of Pure Love?"

Looking back, this series of cases does indeed seem to involve the brutal killing of minotaurs... But can those who brutally killed minotaurs truly be considered pure-hearted warriors? Shouldn't a qualified pure-hearted warrior have killed the minotaurs before they could even succeed? They should be seen as victims of revenge...

"The God of Pure Love... I can only barely call him that."

Mrs. Amakusa seemed to have seen through Qin Huanyu's thoughts, and shrugged:

"It was indeed born from the phrase 'Pure Love God of War Slaughters Minotaur,' but the emphasis isn't on the 'pure love' part, but rather on the 'slaughtering minotaur' part... If I were to name it, I think 'Minotaur Slayer' would be more fitting. In short, it's extremely bloodthirsty and won't tolerate any minotaur living in the world, even killing women who cheat on their partners. Those humans who accept its power and become superhumans will inevitably be influenced by it."

"Then it would be a great threat, and it probably can't be kept alive."

Qin Huanyu also sighed and spread her hands:

"The existence of tauren is indeed immoral and bad, but this kind of social phenomenon caused by emotional issues cannot be eliminated... The idea of ​​killing all tauren and cheaters is too extreme."

"That's your own human problem, it has nothing to do with me, a guy who draws erotic comics."

Mrs. Amakusa waved her hand, took out a new bottle of wine, opened it, and started chugging it down. After only a couple of sips, her eyes were glazed over and her tongue was stiff.

"Alright, I've kept my promise! Now I'm going to slack off and sleep in. Whether you want to go back to the case right away or stay in the village for a couple of days is up to you, I don't care anymore... hiccup."

Before she could even finish speaking, Mrs. Amakusa had already gotten completely drunk.

Qin Huanyu looked at Zero.

“Yukino is telling the truth. She has cooperated with our Investigation Bureau many times. She is considered one of the oddities on the whitelist. We can trust her.”

Ling smiled slightly, lifted the hem of her nun's habit with one hand, and then hooked the strap of her black stockings with her finger:

"You must be in a hurry to get back to work on the case, right? I'll book you the earliest flight."

"it is good."

. . . . .

Lingsu Research Institute, on the eastern outskirts of Baiguang City.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Lü."

Director Qin Hai, accompanied by two trusted researchers, received Lü Meng in the reception room.

"Long time no see, Director Qin."

Lu Meng greeted him with an unchanged expression, then picked up the still unconscious man in his hands and explained his purpose to Qin Hai.

The man's identity had already been confirmed; his name was Qu Mingyuan, and he was indeed the salesman husband from the gossip story.

When Qin Hai heard that Qu Mingyuan had suddenly become a superhuman after being an ordinary person yesterday, his eyes lit up and he readily agreed to Lü Meng's request.

Qin Hai quickly summoned several staff members from the research institute. He first injected Qu Mingyuan with a strong sedative to ensure he wouldn't suddenly wake up, then pulled him into the laboratory to carry out harmless treatment and research.

"How do you plan to ensure he won't suddenly wake up and use his abilities to hurt people? Although his body is very weak right now, he might still be able to muster the strength to activate his abilities," Lü Meng asked with some curiosity.

"It's very simple."

Qin Hai smiled slightly, his eyes filled with the pride of an elderly father:

“When my daughter Ayu was little, she made a toy, a special metal collar that could detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the wearer’s body. When the fluctuations exceeded a certain level, it would automatically generate an electric shock, paralyzing the wearer’s whole body, and could even knock the wearer unconscious… Ayu developed this thing for herself when she couldn’t control her abilities, and she can’t use it anymore.”

"So it was one of Xiao Qin's early works... That girl was indeed very talented."

Mentioning Qin Huanyu, Lü Meng's expression became more complicated, with a hint of regret and a little confusion in his eyes:

"I've already seen her detailed information. Almost all the evaluation reports show that her talent is more suited to being a full-time researcher like you, and she could definitely make more contributions. But her personality is always restless. She only does research when she's in the mood or when she has a need... It's such a pity. Moreover, it seems that the higher-ups are very unwilling to put pressure on her or force her. Some people with this idea have received very stern warnings."

It's clear that Lü Meng prefers to keep Qin Huanyu confined to the research institute, allowing her to focus on her studies, rather than letting her do whatever she likes as she is now. Lü Meng has even suggested this, but it was sternly rejected by his superiors. Now, he's testing Qin Hai.

Qin Hai, still smiling, pretended not to understand anything and replied:

"Why force Ayu? Our Holy Zhou Kingdom is a very humane country, and Ayu has always been well-behaved. There's no reason for her to be locked up and forced to do things, is there?"

"..."

After his probing attempt failed, Lü Meng remained silent for a few seconds before decisively changing the subject:

"I hope that Director Qin can quickly give Qu Mingyuan a check-up to see if there are any abnormalities in his body. There may be clues that we need to solve the case."

"no problem."

Qin Hai calmly returned to the main topic:

"Then please have a few cups of tea here, Mr. Lü. I'll be right back."

"please."

About two hours later, Lü Meng, who was drinking tea, heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Qin Hai walking quickly towards him, looking somewhat excited.

Lü Meng asked, "How is it? Any findings?"

"Yes, a major discovery, which may inspire my research ideas!"

Qin Hai excitedly sat down opposite Lü Meng and handed him a report:

"Mr. Lü, please take a look at this first."

Lu Meng's ability to equip himself with metal prosthetics made of Absolute Spirit Iron demonstrates his high level of academic expertise. He can be considered to be in the same technological school as Qin Huanyu within the Investigation Bureau, making it easy for him to understand the examination report handed over by Qin Hai.

But it was precisely because he understood that Lü Meng frowned in confusion:

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Director Qin... Isn't Qu Mingyuan's physical data all within the range of a normal human being? What's this big discovery you're talking about?"

"It's a major discovery because his physical data are all normal human data! Especially since his genes haven't mutated at all! Don't you know... oh, you really don't know, I haven't published any results on this topic yet."

As Qin Hai spoke, he realized he had made a small mistake by getting too excited, so he quickly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. After calming down for a few seconds, he continued:

"Mr. Lü should know that my main research target has always been superhumans, right? In fact, I have a small but undisclosed achievement, which is that the genes of any superhuman... at least the genes of all the superhumans I have come into contact with before are different from those of ordinary humans."

"Whether it's a superhuman like Ayu or a practitioner of ancient methods, their genes contain a segment that science cannot analyze at all, which I call the Spirit Element Gene. I have always believed that the Spirit Element Gene is the key for ordinary people to become extraordinary. The so-called spiritual root mentioned by the ancient methods should also refer to the Spirit Element Gene. People without the Spirit Element Gene can never become extraordinary, and people without the spiritual root can never cultivate, which is the same reason."

"My research approach has always been to add the Lingsu gene into the genes of ordinary people through a method similar to genetic modification, so that anyone can become an extraordinary person."

"Unfortunately, my research failed. Several attempts all failed. The result of forcibly fusing genes was just a puddle of pus."

At this point, Qin Hai's eyes showed frustration and sadness, but these were quickly replaced by excitement. He pointed again to Qu Mingyuan's medical report:

"However, this person has no spiritual genes whatsoever, so he should never have become a superhuman, but he did... Hahaha! Research in the superhuman field is indeed full of surprises and shocks from time to time. I never thought that my unpublished results would be overturned by myself... It is possible to become a superhuman without spiritual genes! And the secret behind this may be the key reason why I have failed before!"

After Qin Hai excitedly finished speaking in one breath, he stared intently into Lü Meng's eyes:

“Our research institute and your investigation bureau only have a cooperative relationship. Detaining Qu Mingyuan is not within our scope of obligations. This is something I did for you personally, so you actually owe me a favor... I need you to repay it now! And don’t forget, when you were getting your prosthetic limbs made, our research institute also provided a lot of help.”

"You want more technical data, or research materials?"

Lü Meng immediately understood the meaning behind Qin Hai's words, and after thinking for a moment, nodded and said:

"Alright, as the Inspector, I can make the decision on this matter. All the superhuman criminals captured in this case can be studied by your research institute for a period of time. I will also try my best to involve your daughter in the battle to bring out the mastermind behind the scenes, but what she can figure out or discover is up to her own ability, is that alright?"

"can."

Qin Hai readily agreed, a hopeful smile spreading across his face, and muttered to himself:

“Ayu’s talent is far greater than mine. If she could focus on research, she probably would have surpassed me long ago… Having her participate would be more useful than having me go myself.”

"Emotions, thoughts, spirit, soul."

Having received the promise he wanted, Qin Hai quickly became serious again and offered advice to Lü Meng from a professional and technical perspective:

"Since Qu Mingyuan did not become an extraordinary being by obtaining the Spirit Element gene, the reason he became an extraordinary being must be related to these things. The freak that gave him extraordinary power must also be good at these areas, or even be the source of its existence."

"However, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you can find out its emotions in advance, and then use other emotions to pollute or impact it in a targeted way, you should be able to effectively weaken its power and make your campaign twice as effective."
