Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

After the battle in the tunnel at Jin Tong Ling, Qin Huanyu first conducted tests on the corpses of the cannibals.

Sure enough, several ogres had undigested human remains in their stomachs. The DNA extracted from the remains matched the DNA from the bloodstains that disappeared inside the train carriages, confirming that these ogres were involved in the train attack.

The entire attack process is quite clear: the glue-clad monkey must have used its power to throw the carriage over the valley and let it fall freely.

After most of the people in the carriage were knocked unconscious, the cannibal entered the carriage and feasted on a ton of food.

Ogres are intelligent monsters. They are large but agile, able to move through the mountains and forests like ninjas, and they can also clean up the traces they leave behind... That's why Qin Huanyu led her people to search the area near the valley for a long time but found nothing.

Chapter 120 The Story of the Underground Cave

That night, Qin Huanyu wrote a report for the Investigation Bureau.

In the report, Qin Huanyu first wrote down her investigation process, and then wrote down her analysis and speculation.

The whole case was likely caused by the revenge of a sorcerer, whose target was the Luo Mo Business Group, which was selling some kind of contraband under the cover of Zhou Mocheng.

Qin Huanyu had previously asked Duanmu Ling to check on Luo Mo online. He was indeed a big businessman in Yinzhou County, with many companies under his name, involved in multiple industries such as pharmaceuticals, energy, food, supermarkets and parts processing. Qin Huanyu couldn't determine what the prohibited items were, and such matters were not under her jurisdiction.

In short, Rama and the sorcerer had a grudge, and the sorcerer was good at creating and manipulating evil things. He used a glue-clad monkey who could use the power of the realm and an ogre to commit the case of the mysterious disappearance of the train carriage.

Shortly after the report was uploaded to the investigation bureau, a reply was sent.

The Investigation Bureau's message was clear: the case of the mysterious disappearance of the train carriages could be closed, and Qin Huanyu's case would be classified as a Class C case. Luo Mo's illegal activities, however, would be investigated by a specialized investigation team from another department.

As for the sorcerer, the Investigation Bureau believes he will likely go into hiding and won't reappear anytime soon, making him difficult to find. However, if Qin Huanyu does manage to find him, the Investigation Bureau can settle the case as a new Class B case for Qin Huanyu, and Qin Huanyu can also request support from the Inspector at any time after discovering the sorcerer.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Huanyu decided to postpone dealing with the sorcerer for now and instead help Cheng Hai deal with the man-eating monster tomorrow.

For some reason, Qin Huanyu always felt that the sorcerer might not be so bad. He killed only members of criminal organizations and didn't harm a single innocent person. Even when he used monkeys to consecrate the imps, human infants would normally be the most effective.

Hopefully, that sorcerer has truly gone into hiding and won't reappear.

. . . . .

The next morning, Qin Huanyu arrived in Shanbei City as promised and met up with Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai then took Qin Huanyu directly to a remote mountain village on the outskirts of Shanbei City, which was the site of the monster-eating case.

This small mountain village originally had about 50 households, but now they have all been evacuated. The village is now occupied by the military, with about 200 people, two armored vehicles, and a tank.

"Tell me, what's the deal with that monster?"

In the makeshift command post converted from the village chief's house, Qin Huanyu pulled out a chair, sat down, tidied her long, wine-red hair which had been a little messy from the journey, crossed her legs in black stockings, and began to ask Cheng Hai about the case.

"That's a Bloodstone Spirit."

When Chenghai mentioned the monster that had caused him so much suffering, his expression turned grim.

"It was born in an underground cave in the mountains. It was originally a strange stone that could not absorb spiritual energy naturally. Later, it was accidentally stained with the blood of a person who was injured in the cave. It then gained sentience and turned into a blood stone, becoming a monster."

"Its appearance is that of a blood-red stone figure about 4 meters tall. Because it was stained with human blood when it gained sentience, it began to feed on human blood. The villagers it attacked all lost all their blood, and some even had parts of their flesh eaten away."

"It is bloodthirsty and insane, and there is no possibility of communication and reconciliation. It must be eliminated, but its abilities are very troublesome."

"Oh? What kind of ability is it? How troublesome is it?"

Qin Huanyu raised an eyebrow, picked up the tea on the table, blew on it, and took a small sip.

"Its body is very tough, and it is very strong."

Cheng Hai smiled wryly:

"The female bodhisattva also knows the secret technique of my Great Vajra Indestructible Body. Even after activating the Great Vajra Indestructible Body, I was still completely at a disadvantage when fighting it, and I couldn't even break through its defenses... The hardness of its body is second only to the Dragon-Slaying Mace among all the things I have ever seen."

"Second only to the hardness of the Kanglong Mace? That must be quite troublesome for you. No wonder you wanted my help; I'm best at fighting enemies with thick armor like this."

Qin Huanyu nodded, then asked:

"Isn't there an army assisting you? How effective would it be to use firearms against it?"

"Not very good."

Cheng Hai sighed again:

"Automatic rifle bullets can't even leave a mark on it, and the explosion of a man-portable rocket launcher can only leave a mark. Even the 120mm main gun of a tank can only knock it back with kinetic energy impact, but cannot destroy it."

"As for more powerful weapons... I'm afraid we'll have little use for them. The monster's lair is in an underground cave, where large weapons simply can't get in. Even the tanks were only used to cover our retreat when the monster was chasing us."

"Even a 120mm tank main gun could only repel it but couldn't penetrate its defenses?"

Qin Huanyu showed a surprised expression:

"What kind of shells did the tanks use back then? They weren't high-explosive shells, were they?"

"...Is it an armor-piercing projectile, or a depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile?"

Cheng Hai's smile became even more bitter:

"At the time, it was just crossing its arms in front of its body to block, and it took two or three steps back after being hit, but there was no obvious injury to the part that was directly hit. We had already called for air support, and the monster seemed to sense something and turned around and ran back to the underground cave... After that, you called me, Bodhisattva, to go to the tunnel at Jin Tong Ling to perform a ritual to release the little ghost."

"I see... Alright, then I'll accompany you to the underground cave to exorcise demons."

Qin Huanyu rubbed her chin thoughtfully and made a decision:

"I'll try to use the Dragon-Slaying Mace to deal with it first. Flower Monk, you should keep your Vajra Indestructible Body ready. If I can't beat it, you can use your ultimate move to cover our temporary retreat, and then we'll think of other ways to deal with that monster... Don't worry, as long as something has a physical existence, there's always a way to break through its defenses and destroy it. If all else fails, I can even make a set of weapons to break through its defenses."

"can."

Cheng Hai expressed his agreement.

The two prepared for a while, mainly for Qin Huanyu to rest for a few minutes. Firstly, she checked her equipment, and secondly, she relieved the fatigue from the long journey and got herself into the best condition.

After preparations were completed, Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai led more than 50 fully armed soldiers into the underground cave to subdue demons and monsters.

"The concentration of spiritual energy here is quite high... Has no one discovered this place before?"

After peering through her goggles at the interior of the cave, Qin Huanyu casually asked a question.

"This humble monk is not quite sure either."

Cheng Hai shook his head:

“After the incident, I did talk to the local villagers, but they seemed to be in a great panic because of it. They only knew to flee overnight and were unable to provide any useful information.”

“…Is that so?”

Qin Huanyu had a gut feeling that there might be more to this than met the eye, but in any case, eliminating the bloodthirsty monster first was definitely the right thing to do.

After descending about 200 meters into the underground cave, Qin Huanyu's goggles suddenly alarmed, and a surge of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in their spiritual vision, flowing towards their feet.

"Careful!" x2

Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai spoke up at the same time to remind each other, and reacted differently.

Cheng Hai used his strength to push away more than 10 soldiers around him in one go, pushing them out of the range of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Qin Huanyu, instead of retreating, advanced, took out the Kanglong Mace, gently turned it, and then unleashed a resonant strike that slammed into the ground.

The next instant, the spiritual energy surged, and a large number of blood-red spikes rose from the ground, attempting to wipe everyone out.

However, Cheng Hai managed to push the soldiers who couldn't react in time out of the spike range, while Qin Huanyu used a resonance strike to shatter the spikes before they could take shape.

"It should be nearby! The casting range of its attack isn't very far!"

Cheng Hai, who had fought against the Bloodstone Spirit, loudly reminded him.

"I know, I've seen through its disguise."

Qin Huanyu had already activated her Mathematical Eyes. At the same time that the Bloodstone Spirit launched its attack, Qin Huanyu had already discovered a very suspicious stalactite among the many stalactites above the cave.

Without hesitation, she raised her Arc Rifle [Jade Kirin Type 1] again, and amidst the envious looks of many soldiers, fired a dazzling silver bolt of lightning, striking the stalactite.

However, this Bloodstone Spirit was not as weak to lightning as other evil creatures and monsters. After taking a strong electric arc, it seemed to have suffered little damage. It simply removed its disguise, fell from the top of the cave, and transformed into a blood-red stone figure about 4 meters tall amidst the surrounding blood aura.

"Fire!"

Qin Huanyu did not rush to fight the blood-red stone man one-on-one. Instead, she ordered her soldiers to attack. She needed to observe the detailed data of the blood stone spirit first.

Da da da da da!

The soldiers' weapons spewed fire, mostly automatic rifles, with a few anti-materiel sniper rifles and two individual rocket launchers.

Faced with these attacks, the Bloodstone Spirit only made one move—crossing its arms in front of itself to protect itself, taking all the damage head-on.

"...It's really tough."

After two rounds of attacks, Qin Huanyu raised her hand to signal the soldiers to cease fire.

Individual weapons were completely ineffective against the Bloodstone Demon, and the Bloodstone Demon even charged forward despite the hail of bullets, almost reaching them.

"You all stay behind, I'll test its hardness!"

When the soldiers opened fire, Qin Huanyu had already observed the vibration frequency and structural weaknesses of the Bloodstone Essence through her Mathematical Magic Eye.

However, this Bloodstone Spirit could obviously block as well. Qin Huanyu didn't expect to hit its weakness directly, so she swung her buzzing Dragon-Slaying Mace and met it head-on.

Bloodstone Demon was clearly surprised when a policewoman suddenly pulled out a melee weapon to attack him. He then threw a punch, choosing to meet the attack head-on.

duang!

The deafening crash echoed through the cave. Sparks flew everywhere where the Dragon-Slaying Mace and the Bloodstone Spirit collided. The Bloodstone Spirit remained motionless, while Qin Huanyu was thrown back five or six steps by the recoil before regaining her balance.

The result surprised both sides.

Qin Huanyu frowned slightly. This was the first time she had encountered an enemy whose defenses she couldn't break through with a single blow, even with the Kanglong Mace. The armor of a heavy tank wasn't that tough.

The Bloodstone Spirit looked at his cracked arm, which was crumbling into pieces, with an expression of disbelief and a hint of panic on his face.

In this direct confrontation, Qin Huanyu was significantly outmatched by the Bloodstone Demon in terms of strength, but the Dragon-Slaying Mace still completely triumphed in terms of material strength. Although she failed to shatter the Bloodstone Demon's arm in one strike, another blow would certainly be too much for the demon to handle! If a weak point in its structure were struck, piercing its armor in one strike was entirely possible!

Will win!

Qin Huanyu's morale soared.

"Come on, Stone Spirit!"

She brandished her Dragon-Slaying Mace and launched another attack.

Qin Huanyu had already realized that the Bloodstone Demon had a tough body and great strength, but not much speed, so there was absolutely no way to escape; she could only fight to the end.

The Bloodstone Demon seemed to know this as well, and knew that its body would shatter if Qin Huanyu hit it again, so it chose to use a strategy of attacking Wei to rescue Zhao.

Ignoring Qin Huanyu's attack, the Bloodstone Spirit used its initial move again, injecting a large amount of spiritual energy into the ground and using earth spikes to attack ordinary soldiers over a wide area.

Cheng Hai alone cannot protect all the soldiers in this attack. If Qin Huanyu does nothing, there will definitely be casualties.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu had to change the attack target and vibration frequency of the Kanglong Mace midway, choosing to shatter a large number of unformed ground spikes.

Seeing that this tactic was effective, the Bloodstone Demon revealed a smug expression. Following suit, it continued to attack the ordinary soldiers with earth spikes, forcing Qin Huanyu to be unable to attack it. Ideally, it would allow Qin Huanyu to cover the soldiers' retreat first, giving it time to hide deep within the caves that humans could not enter.

But Qin Huanyu wouldn't let the Bloodstone Spirit have his way.

"then."

She took out her arc rifle, tossed it to a soldier without hesitation, and loudly ordered:

"Pull the trigger all the way down and shoot it at its feet!"

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier, his expression excited, took the Arc Rifle amidst the envious glances of the other soldiers, aimed at the Bloodstone Demon's feet, and pulled the trigger.

The electric arcs don't cause much damage to the Bloodstone Demon's body, but the electromagnetic effect still dispels spiritual energy. The Bloodstone Demon's ground spike attack requires injecting spiritual energy into the ground; aiming at its feet will interrupt its attack!

This tactic was very effective. The Bloodstone Demon could no longer use its earth spikes to attack the soldiers and relieve the siege of Wei. It could only take Qin Huanyu's Dragon-Slaying Mace attack head-on again, as its speed did not allow it to dodge.

Although the enormous difference in strength forced Qin Huanyu back several steps each time, Qin Huanyu was always able to immediately launch another attack, giving the Bloodstone Spirit no chance to catch its breath.

The only thing Bloodstone Spirit could do was try to use different parts of his body to counterattack, preventing the same part from being hit twice by the Dragon-Slaying Mace.

Even though the Bloodstone Demon was 4 meters tall, its body was still limited. After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, the Bloodstone Demon was covered in cracks and had nowhere else to take hits.

Roar!

Faced with the Dragon-Slaying Mace hurtling towards it once again, the Bloodstone Demon's eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness, but it could do nothing but let out a shout.

Bang!

This was the final blow, triggering a chain reaction of all the previous attacks. The Bloodstone Spirit's cracked body finally reached its limit and began to shatter completely.

After a series of soft, clattering sounds, a blood-red bead suddenly jumped out from among the shattered remains of the Bloodstone Spirit, attempting to escape into the depths of the cave.

However, Qin Huanyu never let her guard down. She also knew that many monsters had so-called demon cores or inner cores. Without destroying these, the monsters could not be completely eliminated. This was written in the Investigation Bureau's teaching manual, and Zero had repeatedly emphasized it during training.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu had already been on guard against the Bloodstone Spirit's demon core escaping. The alloy tentacles behind her struck decisively the moment the demon core appeared, like a hunting venomous snake and a vengeful scorpion tail. The long needles made of spirit-repelling iron accurately hit the demon core, piercing through the apple-sized demon core.

The demon core trembled violently a few times, and a large amount of blood-red mist overflowed.
