Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"Oh, I got it."

Qin Huanyu then showed a look of realization and ate the last piece of braised beef on the plate:

"Ling'er, you want me to get some high-tech equipment, right? Oh dear... this is quite unexpected. Weapons like plasma pistols are actually available to every investigator in the Bureau of Investigation, but you and the Flower Monk prefer to use magic and martial arts... Now you finally realize how good high-tech equipment is?"

"Yes……"

Bai Ling didn't deny it, but let out a long sigh:

"Actually, it's not just me and Monk Hua. Many ancient practitioners of extraordinary abilities are influenced by their heritage and have similar ideas. Our ancestors believed that true power comes from within oneself, and that divine weapons and magical treasures, no matter how powerful, are just external things... I used to think about the same thing, but after witnessing Senior Lü and Sister Yu's performance in the Ghost Realm, I realized that times have really changed, and the ideas of our ancestors that have been passed down for thousands of years are not necessarily correct."

"Great power comes from within, equipment is all external... Sigh."

Qin Huanyu curled her lip at those words, clearly dismissing them with disdain.

Influenced by Qin Hai, Qin Huanyu also disapproved of these outdated traditional ideas. After hesitating for a few seconds, she couldn't help but offer her sharp comment:

"Forgive my bluntness, Ling'er... The ancestor who could say such a thing must have been extremely poor back then. It was just self-consolation because he lacked divine weapons and magical treasures. Ling'er, you know the real history, so you naturally know that 'Investiture of the Gods' is not just a novel. In that story, how many battles were fought where the weak overcame the strong by relying on powerful magical treasures? Equipment is an indispensable part of personal strength. Even people who play games now understand that if you only focus on leveling up without crafting equipment, you will still be weak in the end."

"Ugh... I know, I know, so please help me out, Sister Yu~~"

Bai Ling pouted and gave a flattering smile:

“I have already applied to the Investigation Bureau for the plasma pistol to be equipped, so Sister Yu doesn’t need to worry. But I still want a weapon, a weapon that can physically kill the enemy. Like last time when I encountered those two water-type superpowered beings in the Ghost Realm, if I had a good gun, I wouldn’t have been forced to reveal my true form.”

"Let's make a weapon tailor-made for you, Ling'er... Okay, how about this?"

Qin Huanyu agreed without much hesitation, then thought for a moment and added:

"I was just planning to renovate this villa anyway. The wine cellar and home theater in the basement are useless to me. I'm thinking of turning them into my workspace. Ling'er, why don't you come and help me? Afterwards, I'll have a good weapon custom-made for you. How about that?"

"no problem!"

Bai Ling smiled brightly.

Good friends should keep clear accounts. Bai Ling had already planned to owe Qin Huanyu a favor, and now that she was only helping to renovate the villa's basement, it was too simple for Bai Ling to refuse.

. . . . .

The renovation of the basement of Qin Huanyu's residence in Baibo Huafu soon began. Duanmu Ling temporarily returned to her apartment in the city center, leaving only Qin Huanyu and Bai Ling to work together in the villa.

This kind of renovation of her private residence was Qin Huanyu's own private matter, so she was too embarrassed to ask the organization for help. Hiring outside workers was even more out of the question, because there were too many confidential things in her studio that ordinary people couldn't access.

Qin Huanyu had originally planned to do it herself, but now with Bai Ling's help, Bai Ling's water magic actually played a very good supporting role in breaking the ash, making the task twice as effective with half the effort.

The project, which was expected to take about a month, was completed by Qin Huanyu and Bai Ling in just over a week.

The entire basement of the villa has now been transformed into Qin Huanyu's workshop and laboratory, filled with all sorts of tools and equipment.

Some of these devices are more expensive than the villa itself, and some are even classified. Since Qin Huanyu has placed them in her home, she must be responsible for their safety.

Relying solely on property security is insufficient, and Qin Huanyu cannot remain at home constantly monitoring the situation. Therefore, an additional defense system is needed to enhance the villa's security.

This wasn't difficult. Qin Huanyu directly learned the defense system from the research institute and asked her father, Qin Hai, to help her get some brand-new old defense system equipment that the research institute had replaced, which she then installed in her home.

The villa is equipped with comprehensive surveillance cameras and infrared sensors, as well as four automatic machine guns hidden in the roof and yard. The entire defense system is directly connected to Qin Huanyu's brain via her mechanical spine, allowing her to remotely control it from anywhere with internet access. If any thief dares to break into her house, she will first issue a warning via loudspeaker; if they still don't leave, they'll have to experience the power of a 12mm caliber gun.

Even so, Qin Huanyu was still not satisfied with the security of her home. She felt that automatic machine guns could only defend against ground enemies and were ineffective against air raids and thieves. She also wanted to install an anti-aircraft missile system in the villa's yard.

Qin Hai, stunned, quickly persuaded his daughter to stop... Even as a representative of the reformist faction, he felt his daughter had gone a bit too far this time. Installing an automatic machine gun in their own yard was already outrageous, but she actually wanted to install anti-aircraft missiles? This was the core territory of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, Eastern Divine Continent, not some free land like White Eagle Continent. No thief could possibly attack a private villa from a helicopter; anti-aircraft missiles were completely unnecessary.

Qin Huanyu was still very filial. After being rejected and lectured by her father, she had some regrets but could only give up her plan to install anti-aircraft missiles in her yard.

After the house renovation is completed, the next step is to create a custom weapon for Bai Ling.

The two discussed this matter many times while working together, and have now basically finalized the design concept for the new weapon.

This new weapon is indeed a technological device, but not everyone can use it. It must be used in conjunction with White Spirit's water magic, otherwise it will just be an expensive toy.

Before creating the new weapon, Qin Huanyu conducted a series of tests on Bai Ling, mainly testing the limits of Bai Ling's water control ability.

For example, what is the maximum pressure that Bai Ling can achieve when she shoots water at high speed, and can she still control the water flow after it is shot out, and can she control the tiny diamond particles in the water while controlling the water flow?

Bai Ling had never done these things before when practicing magic, but she still tried her best to cooperate and did a lot of training for the new exclusive weapon.

Ultimately, Qin Huanyu was fairly satisfied with the test results.

The water jets that Bai Ling can create with magic don't have high pressure, about the same as the high-pressure water guns used in car washes. This is not enough to cause damage, which is the main reason why Bai Ling's water magic has always had low attack power.

However, Bai Ling's control over water is truly strong; even a high-speed jet of water can be instantly retrieved by Bai Ling using magic. She can also control the tiny particles carried by the water flow while controlling the water itself.

This made Qin Huanyu feel that things were much easier to handle.

She worked diligently in her basement workshop for 11 days, and successfully designed and manufactured Bai Ling's exclusive weapon.

It was a cylindrical object with a diameter of 2 centimeters and a length of 18 centimeters, which looked a lot like the hilt of a lightsaber from a famous science fiction movie. In fact, it was indeed a hilt, but not a lightsaber, it was a water sword.

The hilt itself does not need to store water or give water initial kinetic energy. Its function is to pressurize the water flowing through the hilt and mix corundum into the water to increase cutting force.

When Bai Ling uses this sword hilt, she only needs to control the water flow through the hilt and then use magic to collect the water and diamond sand together after the water has shot out a certain distance. By recycling these methods, she can obtain an extremely sharp water sword with the strength of an industrial water knife.

Even reinforced security doors can be easily cut open by the water sword, and ordinary flesh and blood will only be severed from flesh and bone under the water sword.

In addition, this water sword also has a burst mode. When Bai Ling fights with the water sword in a place with abundant water, she doesn't need to worry about recycling the water she shoots to keep it circulating. Instead, she can shoot the water faster and farther with all her might, and the diamond sand in the hilt will also be shot out in one go.

In burst mode, the water sword has a maximum effective range of 26 meters, which is longer than Qin Huanyu's electric arc rifle, and the duration is a little over 7 seconds but less than 8 seconds.

In those 7 to 8 seconds, Bai Ling will wield a 26-meter-long greatsword, capable of easily piercing through the shell of a car 25 meters away and killing the people inside, or sweeping through an army to cut all enemies within range in half.

However, after the burst of power comes a period of weakness. Bai Ling must either retrieve the diamond sand that was shot out or refill the hilt with new diamond sand in order to restore the power of the water sword.

But this is simple. Vajra powder isn't expensive. Just have Bai Ling carry a few extra portions of vajra powder with her, like a magazine, and the problem will be solved.

After a series of tests, Bai Ling was very satisfied with her special weapon, cherished it dearly, and became noticeably more affectionate towards Qin Huanyu.

"This is truly a fine weapon... May I name it, Sister Yu?"

"of course."

Qin Huanyu nodded with a smile:

"It's your exclusive weapon, Ling'er."

"Ah."

Bai Ling smiled sweetly, rubbed the hilt of her water sword for a moment, and then made a decision:

"This is the sword that Sister Yu gave to me, Sister Ling'er. Let's call it the Jade Spirit Sword, symbolizing our unbreakable sisterly bond and partnership!"

"Good name!"

Qin Huanyu nodded with satisfaction on her face, but couldn't help but mutter to herself.

'Jade Spirit Sword? Jade Spirit? Isn't that kind of name combination usually used for tokens of love... Could it be that Ling'er has a crush on me? Ugh... Being a charming woman has these problems; people around me always seem to fall for me without me even realizing it.'

. . . . .

Whether Bai Ling had any feelings for Qin Huanyu is still unknown, but she soon left Baiguang City and returned to Nanhu City.

It wasn't that Bai Ling didn't want to stay at Qin Huanyu's house for free meals anymore. Although Qin Huanyu's cooking couldn't compare to the fantastic medicinal cuisine of Linglan, which had a fantastic taste and texture, it was still of a high standard and could be enjoyed to the fullest. Bai Ling quite liked it.

Something happened in Nanhu City. A female college student committed suicide by jumping into a lake after a breakup. Her scumbag ex-boyfriend then made fun of her online, and the ghost of the female college student even saw it.

Thus, a ghost that was originally so weak that a few ordinary police officers could handle it with stun guns instantly turned evil and became a powerful vengeful spirit with extreme hatred for men.

Several people in the fishing villages near Nanhu Lake have been attacked. The heartbroken female college student who turned into a vengeful ghost does not kill women and children, but only strong adult men. Every adult man she kills loses all his water and becomes a dried corpse with a strange smile on his face. It is very scary. Some witnesses have been driven crazy by fear.

This level of vengeful ghost is beyond what ordinary police officers can handle with a few remote instructions; it's at least a Class C case and requires the personal attention of investigators.

Bai Ling had just acquired her new weapon and was looking for an opponent to test its power. So, after receiving the message, she quickly said goodbye to Qin Huanyu and drove back to Nanhu City.

Qin Huanyu's home was once again empty except for her and Duanmu Ling.

Qin Huanyu then 'recovered from her injuries' and began working again.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, I would go to the Municipal Bureau to chat with my colleagues, and in the afternoon, I would patrol several busy neighborhoods on my motorcycle. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I would go to the research institute, where I would spend the mornings working with Qin Hai and the others on the technology of soul data linking, and in the afternoons, I would do some training to strengthen myself.

On Sundays, Qin Huanyu would invite Duanmu Ling or her girlfriends from the police station to go shopping, watch movies, and drink milk tea at various malls in Baiguang City.

Other girls would go for beauty treatments and skincare, but Qin Huanyu didn't need to. The best a beautician could do was get a 90 out of 100, while Qin Huanyu was a 97 out of 100. All she had to do was wash herself clean and choose a suitable outfit every day to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

Occasionally, when she doesn't feel like going out on Sundays, Qin Huanyu will stay in her villa and play online games with Yi Youyou, who is far away in the capital.

Such a peaceful and beautiful daily life passed by in the blink of an eye, and several months went by.

The heartbroken female college student who turned into a vengeful ghost was cornered in the water and defeated by Bai Ling in a one-on-one duel a few days later.

However, Bai Ling talked to Qin Huanyu about this afterward and also wrote in the mission report that she thought the heartbroken female college student's descent into darkness was a bit abnormal.

Because the female college student's original soul was very weak, it would be impossible for her to suddenly become a vengeful ghost. Bai Ling suspected that there were other masterminds behind this and decided to investigate carefully in Nanhu City. The Investigation Bureau also approved Bai Ling's analysis and decision.

Bai Ling didn't ask Qin Huanyu to go to Nanhu City to help, and Qin Huanyu wasn't too proactive either. However, when they talked on the phone or chatted online, Qin Huanyu would often share some police investigation techniques with Bai Ling. In this respect, Qin Huanyu was undoubtedly the strongest among the three members of Team 11.

Unfortunately, Bai Ling didn't seem to make any further discoveries, and the matter was put aside for the time being.

In addition, something else happened in the past few months: Duanmu Ling's three-year period of supervision has finally ended, and she can now live a free life again... although her freedom wasn't really restricted during those three years, except that she had a roommate who was like a guardian.

Now that the supervision period is over, legally speaking, Duanmu Ling no longer needs to live with Qin Huanyu and be checked up on by her mother like a daughter every day. She can go out on her own.

However, Duanmu Ling almost without thinking said that she still wanted to be Yu Mama's daughter and would follow Yu Mama for the rest of her life.

"It's a pity she's really not Yu, Mommy Yu~~"

When recounting this, Duanmu Ling even made a joke, feigning a seductive look:

"Otherwise, Yu-ma, it's not impossible for you to be that kind of mom... I've heard that mommy life is quite popular among girls these days?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Qin Huanyu, of course, righteously and eloquently reprimanded the little devil before saying:

“Xiaoling, it’s not impossible for you to continue living with me. I won’t charge you rent, but you have to promise me one thing.”

"What is it, Aunt Yu?"

Duanmu Ling sat directly on the table in her room, her two small, white-stockinged feet, still steaming, dangling in mid-air.

"You don't actually want her body, do you?"

"I told you to be serious! You want to get beaten up again, don't you?"

Without hesitation, Qin Huanyu punched the little devil, knocking her to the table where she was sticking out her tongue and begging for mercy before stating her demands:

"What I want you to do is very simple... you can no longer stay at home playing computer games all day like a shut-in! Before, you were under supervision, which made it inconvenient for you to find a job, but now your supervision period is over, and you are an adult, so you must have a proper job! You should know that I am no longer your supervisor, so your allowance from now on... hmph, that's gone too. But if you perform well at work, I, your mother, am not afraid to give you a reward."

"A proper job..."

Duanmu Ling's face immediately fell:

"What decent job would hire a little girl like me? I can't find one... Could you, Aunt Yu, help me find a job?"

Qin Huanyu seemed to have been waiting for Duanmu Ling to say those words, and later she did indeed arrange a job for her, a formal job with a government-appointed position.

According to the "Regulations on the Employment of Special Talents", Duanmu Ling became a new recruit in the Cyber ​​Security Section of the Baiguang City Police Department without taking an exam or having an interview. From now on, she will be a policewoman, and her main job will be to deal with her former self - various hackers on the Internet.

For Duanmu Ling, who was used to staying at home, going to work every day was quite painful. She was extremely unaccustomed to it at first... She couldn't sleep at night and even wanted to doze off while standing at work. Several times she was caught by her department head for secretly sleeping at work.

The head of the cybersecurity department knew that Duanmu Ling was related to Qin Huanyu, so he didn't criticize her too harshly. Instead, he chose to tell her parents.

Qin Huanyu took this matter very seriously. In order to help Duanmu Ling get rid of her bad habit of staying up late at night and being sleepy during the day, she not only lectured Duanmu Ling many times, but also used her connections to directly ban all of Duanmu Ling's game accounts, saying that Duanmu Ling must develop a healthy lifestyle before the bans would be lifted.

Duanmu Ling was naturally furious and repeatedly threatened to break off her relationship with Qin Huanyu and run away from home, but Qin Huanyu just smiled and remained silent.

For the previous three years, Qin Huanyu's treatment of Duanmu Ling was ostensibly supervision, but in reality, it was no different from keeping her as a mistress. Apart from not doing the things that mistresses usually do, Qin Huanyu was even more generous to Duanmu Ling materially than those sugar daddies who keep beautiful girls.

Duanmu Ling has been practically spoiled. If she breaks off her relationship with Qin Huanyu, she will instantly become destitute and homeless, and may even have to live under a bridge.

Of course, with Duanmu Ling's hacking skills, making money illegally would be quick, but she's already on the police's watch list, and if she does something, she'll be caught soon. A repeat offender like her would likely face more serious consequences than just being monitored; she'd actually end up in jail.

Duanmu Ling was well aware of this, so all she could do was keep up the act, while her body obediently accepted Qin Huanyu's modifications and gradually developed a healthy lifestyle.

Ultimately, the transformation was quite successful. When the people of White Light City looked at the already famous first policewoman of Saint Zhou Kingdom on the bustling commercial streets, they often saw another policewoman in a miniskirt and white stockings by her side, as cute as her younger sister or daughter.

However, the idyllic days did not last. One morning, while Qin Huanyu was discussing a research problem on the digitization of soul data with Qin Hai at the research institute, her phone rang.

The caller was none other than her top henchman at the police station, Xiao Liu:

"Sister Yu, something terrible has happened!"
