Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

She got injured during a routine training session, twisting her back with a movement that she would normally find easy.

This was very unusual, and the research institute took it very seriously. They immediately conducted a comprehensive examination of Qin Huanyu's body and received a very bad result.

Qin Huanyu's vertebral bone strength has inexplicably decreased by about 34%. Many movements that she used to be able to complete easily now cause her to fracture her spine with the slightest carelessness.

There must be a reason for this. After ruling out other possibilities, the only answer is the blood-red light that the bizarre and pure love god shot at Qin Huanyu before he died... Qin Huanyu didn't feel it at the time because she didn't engage in any strenuous exercise. Now that she has realized it, it's a little too late.

Orthopedic experts from Baiguang City were invited to the Lingsu Research Institute immediately. Bai Ling also drove to Baiguang City after receiving the news. Later, orthopedic authorities from Shendu and senior healing ability users from the Investigation Bureau also tried to treat Qin Huanyu, but the results were not optimistic.

Qin Huanyu's current condition is not like being hit with a negative status in a game, where you can simply dispel the negative status to complete the treatment... Real medicine is not that simple.

Even if we were to use a game analogy, Qin Huanyu's condition is more like a portion of her maximum health being reduced by a special spell cast by the God of Pure Love. She is currently at full health, and no matter how powerful a healing class is, they cannot restore her maximum health.

Some enhancement spells can achieve this, but these buffs are time-limited. Once the spiritual energy is depleted, the buff will revert to its original state, making it not very meaningful... Qin Huanyu couldn't afford to have a spellcaster give her a bone enhancement buff every day.

After learning about this, Hua Heshang Chenghai came up with a feasible idea.

In the game, if your maximum health is reduced, you can increase it back by leveling up. In reality, if your bones become more fragile, you can naturally strengthen them through training.

Cheng Hai expressed his willingness to pass on the "Strengthening Tendons and Bones Classic" of Shilin Temple to Qin Huanyu. With Qin Huanyu's aptitude, she only needs about three years of practice to achieve minor success. At that time, not only will the strength of her lost bones be restored, but they will also become stronger.

Qin Huanyu thanked the monk, neither refusing nor immediately agreeing.

The main problem is that the martial arts at Shilin Temple are not only martial arts, but also require the practice of Buddhist teachings, which is a bit of a torment for Qin Huanyu, as she can't concentrate on reading a single word of those scriptures.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu could only consider Cheng Hai's good intentions as a backup option; she hoped to save herself through her own wisdom.

Moreover, Qin Huanyu actually had an idea.

While secretly observing Lü Meng's battle in the Ghost Realm, Qin Huanyu became very interested in Lü Meng's cyber warrior enhancement path. Although she was reluctant to give up her beautiful skin and soft flesh, she could accept adding some extra metal limbs to assist in combat.

The same logic applies now. Since his original spine has become fragile due to the spell, why not simply replace it with a mechanical one? After all, bones are hidden inside the body and won't affect one's charm, so Qin Huanyu would accept it.

Technically, Qin Huanyu didn't find it difficult. In the previous battle, she had used the Mathematical Eye to steal almost all of Lü Meng's prosthetic technology. With the resources of the Spiritual Element Research Institute, she could create mechanical prosthetics of the same or even better quality at any time.

Qin Huanyu did not make a hasty decision regarding these two methods of self-treatment. Instead, she consulted Qin Hai's advice and, almost as if possessed, sent a message to Yi Youyou to ask her questions.

On the surface, Yi Youyou shouldn't know about Qin Huanyu's brittle bones, but Miss [Yun Que] must have had ways to find out. The orthopedic experts from Shen Du who treated Qin Huanyu back then didn't accept the invitation from the Ling Su Research Institute; why they came is quite intriguing.

Qin Hai said he would unconditionally respect Qin Huanyu's ideas and support whatever choice she made. However, he was clearly not very interested when he mentioned Buddhist martial arts, but his eyes lit up when he heard about the metal spine modification plan.

Qin Huanyu was not surprised by this result. She had long known that her father was a reformer, and a radical one at that, who wished he could replace all the ancient methods with modern technology.

Yi Youyou's suggestion was somewhat unexpected for Qin Huanyu. Qin Huanyu thought that Yi Youyou, as a member of the Treasure Pavilion, would support her in practicing Buddhist martial arts, but unexpectedly, Yi Youyou was even more supportive of Qin Huanyu evolving into a cyber policewoman.

Yi Youyou replied in her phone message as follows:

[Ayu, you're already a bit slow as a police officer. If you were to learn to chant scriptures and mutter to yourself all day like those monks... God, I can't even imagine how boring you'd become.]

This sentence became the final straw that broke the camel's back, making Qin Huanyu make up her mind completely.

She'd rather give up field missions and become an internal researcher, no longer needing to use force, than become a boring nun. Buddhist martial arts are out of the question; cyber policewoman is much more appealing.

After making the decision, Qin Huanyu immediately took action, and the Lingsu Research Institute fully cooperated, giving her priority access to various equipment and resources so that she could develop her own metal spine.

The research and development process went quite smoothly. There was ample research environment and resources, a supernatural ability like the Mathematical Eye that was very suitable for research, and the experience could be gained by calling Lu Meng, a true cyber warrior, at any time.

In less than half a month, Qin Huanyu created the metal spine, which could be charged or powered by the chemical energy from digesting food. After the modification, not only would the strength of Qin Huanyu's spine increase significantly, but her overall physical fitness would also be improved, completely breaking the limits of ordinary people.

The only drawback is the energy problem. If she were to recharge through eating, Qin Huanyu would need to consume at least 10 kilograms of beast meat every day after completing the transformation, and even more during intense battles.

Fortunately, Qin Huanyu was not short of money; at least she could support herself with this level of appetite, and she didn't think this shortcoming was a problem at all.

All the simulation tests on the metal spine went very smoothly. Qin Huanyu was also a little tired of her delicate body, which was prone to fractures if she ran too fast, so she planned to have it modified as soon as possible.

However, it was only at this point that Qin Huanyu discovered another major problem.

She couldn't find anyone else who could perform the reconstructive surgery on her.

While current human technology can create various high-tech prosthetics, it's still a long way from the full-fledged cyberpunk depicted in science fiction. Even if doctors can perform prosthetic replacement surgery, they're mostly replacing arms and legs; no one has ever performed a spinal replacement surgery, nor does anyone dare to do it—not even the cyber warrior Lü Meng is confident in his abilities.

After searching around, Qin Huanyu discovered that the most suitable person to perform the surgery was actually herself, who possessed the Mathematical Magic Eye. She could enter a direct human-machine interface and precisely control the robotic arm to complete the surgery, something she was quite confident about.

But this raises another problem… Spinal replacement surgery undoubtedly requires general anesthesia. How can Qin Huanyu perform surgery on herself under general anesthesia? Even with direct human-machine interface, Qin Huanyu needs to be conscious; how can someone under general anesthesia be conscious?

Like Guan Yu undergoing bone-scraping surgery, where the body is cut open directly without anesthesia?

No matter how Qin Huanyu thought about it, she didn't think she was that powerful. Her transformation plan was suddenly stalled by this problem, at least there was no suitable solution within the scientific scope.

Qin Huanyu had no choice but to rely on extraordinary power once again.

Of all the doctors with extraordinary powers, Qin Huanyu was most familiar with Bai Ling, so she summoned Bai Ling to Baiguang City once again and explained her needs.

"emmm..."

After listening patiently for a while, Bai Ling pondered and summarized:

"In other words, Sister Yu, you want to find a way to make you feel no pain, like when you're under general anesthesia, while still keeping you conscious so you can precisely control the robotic arm to perform surgery on yourself, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

Qin Huanyu grasped Bai Ling's hand earnestly, looking at her expectantly:

"Ling'er, can you do it?"

"Hmm~"

Bai Ling blushed slightly, and, somewhat hesitant to meet Qin Huanyu's gaze, looked away.

Qin Huanyu didn't disturb her, but continued to look at Bai Ling expectantly, waiting for an answer.

"I probably can't do it, my medical magic skills aren't that high."

Bai Ling's first sentence clearly frustrated Qin Huanyu, but her second sentence immediately brightened Qin Huanyu's eyes:

“But my teacher definitely can. She's probably the most skilled doctor in the Holy Zhou Kingdom. She can definitely help Sister Yu complete the modification surgery, but…”

"Just what?"

Qin Huanyu gripped Bai Ling's hand tightly, eagerly asking:

"Who exactly is your teacher? Where does she live? What kind of things does she like? What kind of gift would be appropriate for me to bring when I visit her?"

"Sister Yu, you're being way too calculating!"

Bai Ling rolled her eyes, both amused and exasperated, before patiently continuing her explanation:

"Don't worry, my teacher is a very kind-hearted and easy-going person. Even if you were a complete stranger, she wouldn't refuse to treat you, let alone you, Sister Yu, who is my friend and partner."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Qin Huanyu's eyes grew even more eager:

"Will you take me to visit your teacher now?"

"So, Sister Yu, don't be in such a hurry!"

Seeing Qin Huanyu grabbing her arm and trying to leave, Bai Ling pinched her in annoyance and pressed Qin Huanyu back into her seat.

"There's nothing wrong with my teacher. The problem lies with the Investigation Bureau... To be honest, Sister Yu, my teacher's identity is somewhat special. The Investigation Bureau is keeping a close eye on her, and anyone who comes into contact with her needs to undergo strict scrutiny."

"Is that so? So who exactly is your teacher?"

Qin Huanyu became even more curious.

"My teacher, she... ummmm."

Bai Ling thought for a moment before saying:

"Based on her current job duties, my teacher is considered the imperial physician of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. However, she has a special status and a somewhat naive personality. To prevent her from being used by people with ulterior motives, she has always lived alone under the supervision of the Investigation Bureau and only makes house calls when needed."

"Is it that mysterious?"

Qin Huanyu raised an eyebrow and quickly connected the clues Bai Ling had mentioned:

"Special identity, powerful abilities, simple personality, and closely monitored by the Investigation Bureau... Ah, could your teacher be some kind of eccentric like Mrs. Amakusa? Does she also live in the Hidden Village?"

"No... Shenyin Village is indeed the largest gathering place of the supernatural under the control of the Investigation Bureau, but not all harmless supernatural beings live there. My teacher lives in a mountain in the Eastern Divine Continent that is full of spiritual energy."

Bai Ling first shook her head, then smiled and nodded:

"But Sister Yu, you guessed right. Teacher is indeed a monster, and the first and most successful man-made monster in the Holy Zhou Kingdom."

"The teacher's bizarre name is 'Classical Medicine,' which is the embodiment of the concept of classical medicine in the Holy Zhou Kingdom and a collection of people's various wonderful fantasies about classical medicine."

"From the moment she was born, she was proficient in all the classical medical techniques that have ever existed, including the secret formulas and unique skills that have been lost by the major classical medical families. She knows them all. She even knows some magical classical medical techniques that do not exist in reality but are widely circulated among people."

"Without a doubt, my teacher is the most skilled doctor in the world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she can bring the dead back to life. When I was training with her, I witnessed butterflies and birds that had lost their life force being brought back to life in her palm more than once."

"With the teacher's help, Sister Yu, your modification surgery will definitely be fine!"

Chapter 110 The Modification Surgery Begins!

"Okay, okay... I know your teacher is amazing, calm down first."

Seeing that Bai Ling's eyes were already sparkling with pink hearts, and that if she continued talking she might start generating electricity, Qin Huanyu had no choice but to interrupt her:

"How can I possibly get a doctor as skilled as your teacher to come to my aid?"

"...It requires an application to the investigation bureau and my teacher's consent."

Bai Ling took a deep breath, seemingly realizing she had been a bit out of line, and stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly, saying:

“My teacher is a bit aloof. She usually doesn’t bother with illnesses that others can cure. But Sister Yu, your surgery request is unprecedented. She should be interested. Plus, I can put in a good word for you, so there shouldn’t be any problem with her. You just need to submit an application report to the Investigation Bureau.”

"Submit an application report to the Bureau of Investigation... Okay, I understand."

Qin Huanyu nodded.

Since it concerned her own health, Qin Huanyu was very efficient. She completed the application report that same day and contacted two inspectors she knew, Ling and Lü Meng, asking them to intercede on her behalf. She also promised to repay their favor in the future in terms of equipment research and development.

Perhaps it was the two inspectors' intervention that was effective, or perhaps the Investigation Bureau itself valued Qin Huanyu highly; in any case, Qin Huanyu's application received a reply almost instantly, and her application was approved.

On the other hand, Bai Ling did not disappoint Qin Huanyu's hopes and obtained permission from her teacher on Qin Huanyu's behalf.

So, the morning after Bai Ling brought up the matter, Qin Huanyu boarded a plane and went alone to the place where Bai Ling's teacher lived alone.

The best place to have the surgery was actually the Lingsu Research Institute, but Bai Ling's teacher insisted on meeting Qin Huanyu at his residence first. Qin Huanyu needed his help, so she had no choice but to agree.

During the flight, Qin Huanyu took the opportunity to look at some relevant information and discovered that Bai Ling's teacher actually had a deep relationship with the Tech Innovators, and could even be said to be one of the direct reasons for the formal birth of the Tech Innovators and the split of the photography studio.

According to the information, Bai Ling's teacher's official bizarre name is "Classical Medicine". She is a young and beautiful girl with a human name, Lily of the Valley. People who come into contact with her usually call her by her human name.

Before the birth of the lily of the valley, people were hostile to the grotesque, and would generally eliminate any such creatures they encountered without any regard for their origin. Even if some people, by chance, became friends with or even fell in love with the grotesque, others would simply assume that they were bewitched by it.

However, the more people fight against the bizarre, the more they realize its incredible nature. Many bizarre abilities not only completely ignore the laws of science, but are not even magical at all. Even the powerful superhumans of the ancient schools are quite surprised, as they are simply the embodiment of human imagination.

So some bolder people, who had a preliminary understanding of the bizarre nature, thought about whether the power of the bizarre could be used for human benefit. These people could be said to be the initial technological innovators.

The bizarre is born from human imagination; it is an aggregate of human thoughts overflowing from our minds. The early technological innovators were aware of this, and thus consciously spread rumors, trying to create a bizarre phenomenon that would benefit humanity.

As a result, in the few years following the end of the Weiguo War, a craze for classical medicine arose throughout the entire Shengzhou Kingdom, with many people having a mysterious trust and worship of classical medicine.

This includes a propaganda campaign by the technological innovators, and there are indeed many extraordinary descendants of classical medical families traveling among the people, healing the masses, which makes many rumors not unfounded.

Back then, there was no internet, and many things were passed down by word of mouth. As true stories of people being cured by classical medicine when modern medicine failed were spread more and more exaggeratedly, even those materialists who believed in science developed a lot of expectations for classical medicine deep down.

The gathered prayers gave birth to a miracle. Humanity's various adorations and beautiful fantasies about classical medicine became reality. Lily of the Valley, as the first man-made monster, was born in a place rich in spiritual energy, which the photo studio had calculated in advance.

This time, instead of rushing to kill the bizarre, people tried to communicate with her and were surprised to find that Suzuran's personality seemed no different from that of a normal human girl, or even more innocent.

Suzuran's abilities did not disappoint. The Queen of the Holy Zhou Kingdom had been seriously injured in the war of national defense and suffered sequelae. She should not have lived for more than a few years, but Suzuran cured her with a treatment method that made other doctors exclaim that it was impossible.

This event solidified the beliefs of many technological innovators and garnered strong support from the royal family, leading to numerous bold experiments.

Although most of those experiments ended in failure, and some even caused heavy losses, the passion of the technological innovators remained unwavering, truly because the success of Suzuran solidified their beliefs.

However, those failed experiments also made another group of people realize that the field that the technological innovators were venturing into was very dangerous. They opposed this behavior, formed the conservative faction, and for a considerable period of time, they were at odds with the technological innovators, which eventually led to the split of the photography studio.

"Phew, I didn't expect Bai Ling's teacher to be so powerful... I hope she really is as amazing as Bai Ling said."

After reviewing the documents, Qin Huanyu stretched and, seeing that she was the only one in the first-class cabin, simply took off her boots and put on an eye mask in a rather lazy posture to take a nap.

About an hour later, Qin Huanyu took off her eye mask and woke up from her nap. The plane landed at an airport in a mountain city in the southwest of East China.

This medical visit was Qin Huanyu's personal decision, and the Investigation Bureau would not send a car to pick her up. Linglan's residence was also far from the city, making transportation inconvenient.

But it doesn't matter, Qin Huanyu is rich.

She spent a full 5000 yuan to hire a local experienced driver, and after driving an off-road vehicle for nearly 4 hours on rugged mountain roads, she finally arrived at the secluded place of Lily of the Valley.

The scenery here is beautiful, with clear waters and lush mountains. It has not been developed into a tourist area and has a pure, natural, and unpolluted beauty in every aspect.

Lily of the Valley lives in a secluded two-story bamboo house here. Outside the house, there is a medicinal field covering several thousand square meters, where various herbs are planted and several large white geese are raised.

The white geese were very protective of their home. When Qin Huanyu approached the small bamboo house, several white geese surrounded her and attacked her with their beaks, even tearing her black stockings. Qin Huanyu was so angry that she wanted to stew them all.

Fortunately, a whistle soon rang out from inside the bamboo house, and the white geese dispersed on their own, thus rescuing Qin Huanyu from their jaws and changing the fate of the geese being stewed.
