Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

The man in black robes became taciturn again and vanished on the spot.

"...Phew, so this is the second most grotesque incarnation of original sin? His aura is indeed very unsettling. This is probably the most difficult negotiation I've ever experienced."

After a long while, the female CEO finally breathed a sigh of relief, drank the wine in her glass in one gulp to calm her nerves, and patted her chest.

"But..."

After the initial shock, a smile, and a fervent ambition, returned to the female CEO's eyes:

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward... If this deal goes through, I'll be the mistress of this country! No longer one of those old fogies in the Phoenix Pavilion who rely on their seniority, nor that pretty but useless princess who just jumps around like an idol! It's me! It's me! Hahahaha..."

After laughing heartily, the female CEO poured herself another glass of wine, her eyes slightly hazy as she imagined a bright future while sipping it gently:

"Hmph, foolish photo studio... The Truth Society has tolerated the Holy Zhou Kingdom for almost 30 years. How could they possibly send only a high-ranking official to act again? The Wild Hunt is still just bait... The Incarnation of Pride is their main force and trump card in this operation..."

. . . . .

Baiguang City.

After spending a few days having fun with Yi Youyou and seeing her off, Qin Huanyu returned to her normal work and life.

She first checked the follow-up to the previous case.

Although Gu Hao was deceived and used by Wild Hunt, he still committed more than twenty tiger attacks and caused deaths. He will never be free again and will have to spend the rest of his life in a small dark room specifically used to imprison superhumans.

The operation to subdue the Wild Hunt, which was hiding in the Twin Dragon Pool, was officially classified as a Class B case by the Investigation Bureau, and all those who participated in the operation would receive an additional Class B credit.

Yi Youyou and Guo Ying are not from the Investigation Bureau, so they don't deserve any credit. The credit naturally goes to Qin Huanyu and Yuan Baixue.

Although Yuan Baixue suffered multiple defeats and humiliations in this incident, she also got what she wanted and gained a lot of merits. Among the investigators who joined at the same time, she went from being at the bottom to being at the top, which she could brag about.

Qin Huanyu was also very satisfied with her harvest. She obtained a full four portions of Absolute Spirit Iron, which could be used to forge spear tips or short swords.

However, Qin Huanyu had not yet decided how to use this Spirit-Slaying Iron, so in addition to her daily police work, she often conducted research in her basement workshop at home.

After undergoing physical modifications, Qin Huanyu thought her combat power was already quite high, but the Wild Hunt campaign taught her a lesson, making her realize that there was still a considerable gap between herself and true powerhouses.

Qin Huanyu wanted to continue becoming stronger.

As a technology-driven approach, there are basically only two ways to significantly enhance one's combat power.

The first step is to continue modifying the body, replacing flesh and blood with alloy prosthetics, and turning the entire body into a weapon like Lü Meng, transforming into a cyber berserker.

This is a relatively effective method, and it's something that current technology can accomplish, but Qin Huanyu still cherishes her beautiful body very much. Unless absolutely necessary, she doesn't want to arbitrarily transform her fragrant, soft body into a metal structure.

So Qin Huanyu tried the second approach—to find a way to get himself a set of powered armor similar to Iron Man's.

The armor itself posed no technical challenge for Qin Huanyu; she didn't need AI assistance to operate it, and she could create all sorts of weapons for the armor.

The biggest challenge remains energy. No existing energy storage device can keep the individual mechs operational. Just like in the movies and comics, is the most impressive part of the Iron Man suit the suit itself? No, it's the miniature fusion reactor in his chest.

Qin Huanyu tried to draw up a lot of blueprints for power armor, but no matter how she designed them, she couldn't get around the energy issue, and in the end, all those blueprints ended up in the junkyard.

Qin Huanyu had certainly considered using extraordinary items as an energy source, and the arc rifle was a successful example of this idea.

After researching a lot of information and consulting with several friends who were knowledgeable about extraordinary items, Qin Huanyu learned that extraordinary items also have their limits in this regard.

The existence of something like the lightning storage ball on the arc rifle is roughly the upper limit of the energy storage function of supernatural items... It is much more powerful than the best battery currently available in the technology sector, but it still does not meet the requirements to power a single-soldier mech.

To be both small in size and have abundant energy is something that current human technology, whether scientific or magical, cannot achieve. That's why movies like Iron Man are science fiction.

After several failed attempts, Qin Huanyu had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea and continue to think about what kind of equipment to forge with the newly acquired Spirit-Extinguishing Iron.

Soon, more than a week had passed.

That afternoon, Qin Huanyu was patrolling the commercial street on her motorcycle as usual, signing autographs for many fans who came to see her, and agreeing to take photos with them depending on her mood... If the fan was a cute girl, there was even a chance of getting a more intimate photo.

Click.

After once again posing for photos with two female high school students, Qin Huanyu suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from her hot pants. Her phone was ringing and vibrating.

Qin Huanyu took out her phone and glanced at the screen. When she saw that the caller was Xiao Liu, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that she would most likely have to work overtime again tonight.

"Something terrible has happened, Sister Yu."

Sure enough, Xiao Liu said on the phone that in the afternoon, a township police team under the jurisdiction of Baiguang City Police Bureau received a report from nearby villagers that a vicious attack had occurred in the village.

The local police responded immediately after receiving the report. They initially thought it was just a fight between villagers, but the situation turned out to be very strange and serious.

The city police department is still unclear about the specifics of what happened, but based on the last message sent by the local police before they lost contact, it is believed that a cult may be hiding in that village, and that there are foreigners among the cult members.

"Cult members? Foreigners?"

The sight of these two words together immediately sparked a flood of thoughts in Qin Huanyu's mind.

Could it be one of the hidden agents left behind by the Truth Society back then, and now activated along with the Wild Hunt's invasion?

If that's the case, then we must treat it with caution.

Qin Huanyu was not careless. She first told her fans that the police station had an urgent mission, then rode her bicycle away from the commercial street to meet up with Xiao Liu and the others. She then reported the situation to the investigation bureau while contacting the armed police force for cooperation.

About 40 minutes later, Qin Huanyu, along with her trusted confidants from the police station and more than 100 fully armed police officers, arrived at the village where the incident occurred. The police force also deployed an infantry fighting vehicle.

"……stop!"

When they were about 300 meters away from the target village, the local police officers who had come to investigate the case in the afternoon but then went missing were found.

They were neatly arranged in the middle of the road, still breathing, but each of them had bruises and their clothes were disheveled, as if they had been severely beaten.

"be careful."

Qin Huanyu did not order anyone to go up and rescue them immediately. Instead, she carefully observed the surroundings and then used the Spirit Element Detector to scan the area. After confirming that there were no dangers or traps, she ordered the police officers to be carried into the vehicle for examination and treatment.

The test results came back quickly, and as it appeared, none of the police officers had suffered any fatal injuries; they had simply been punched and kicked and beaten severely.

'...Just beaten up?'

This result surprised Qin Huanyu. She considered several possibilities in an instant but couldn't figure out the other party's motive. She could only go into the village to take a look.

However, trouble arose as soon as they arrived at the village entrance.

A large group of agitated villagers blocked the road.

"Get out! You despicable outsider!"

"Yes, get out! You're not welcome in our village!"

The villagers shouted and cursed as if the police had killed their family members and seized their land. They not only blocked the road but also threw stones at the police cars.

"We are police officers! We're here on a case, please cooperate... Ouch!"

A young policeman under Xiao Liu had just taken two steps forward, holding his police badge, to announce his authority when a farmer punched him hard in the face, snatched the badge, and tore it to shreds.

"You are assaulting police officers!"

The young policeman, realizing what had happened, was naturally furious and immediately drew his gun.

The villagers, however, were not afraid at all and continued to surround the young policeman, punching and kicking him. They didn't use any weapons, not even wooden sticks or other tools; it was all a bare-handed brawl.

The other police officers and armed police nearby certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch their comrades get beaten up, so they rushed over and joined the fight with the villagers.

However, since the villagers did not use any weapons, the police could not easily suppress them with guns, and they relied entirely on hand-to-hand combat skills.

Faced with this completely unexpected and chaotic scene, Qin Huanyu frowned deeply. She couldn't understand why this had happened, let alone guess the true purpose of the mastermind behind it all.

"...Anyway, let's quell the villagers' riot first...Don't fire a shot until the villagers use their weapons! You are all professional police officers trained at the police academy, don't tell us you can't even defeat a few hundred unarmed farmers!"

After a moment's thought, Qin Huanyu had no choice but to issue the order in this manner. She left more than ten technical police officers on standby in the infantry fighting vehicle, and sent the rest of the police and armed police into action.

There were more than 120 police officers and armed police involved in the battle, while the number of villagers should be over 500.

The police were outnumbered, but the trained officers should have easily subdued the villagers who were acting strangely.

Unexpectedly, the situation was completely reversed. The police were forced into retreat, and many were beaten black and blue by the villagers. The villagers, on the other hand, were in high spirits, advancing triumphantly, and their fighting power was like that of an ancient army.

"...What should we do? Should we shoot, Sister Yu?"

Somewhat embarrassed, Xiao Liu ran back to Qin Huanyu for instructions.

He had just been slapped hard by several burly peasant women, and they even snatched and tore his police uniform from the upper half of his body... If he hadn't been quick enough to run away, who knows what might have happened after those peasant women held him down.

Similar scenes were still playing out at various points around the village entrance. Qin Huanyu could see clearly that these villagers' fighting skills were completely haphazard, but their strength and speed were obviously superior to that of ordinary people, and their bodies were also more resilient to beatings... Even three or four policemen working together couldn't subdue an ordinary farm woman, clearly indicating that she had been enhanced.

Qin Huanyu remained silent, continuing to observe intently, repeatedly examining all the unusual occurrences in the village with her Mathematical Magic Eye and Spirit Element Detector.

Finally, something has been discovered.

The observations of the Mathematical Eye revealed that these villagers all had a layer of energy flowing on their skin. This energy flow was inconspicuous and weak, and at first glance it looked similar to the heat radiation of body temperature. Qin Huanyu did not pay attention to it at first, but after repeated observation, she discovered this weak and abnormal energy.

This faint, abnormal energy is transformed from spiritual energy, and all the spiritual energy channels in the entire village are currently gathered in a building in the center of the village... That place is very likely the cult that the local police mentioned when they first came to investigate, and the villagers have been bewitched by the cult and have been strengthened by its power.

Similar incidents are quite common in the many cult cases handled by the Bureau of Investigation.

Chapter 141 Be Ayu's Dog!

Although the enemy's behavior was still very abnormal and his motives were hard to guess, Qin Huanyu decided to handle the case according to the general procedures for dealing with cults.

In simple terms, this process is about taking down the leader first. Ignore the ordinary people who have been brainwashed and manipulated by the cult, and eliminate the cult's upper echelons who can use supernatural powers.

For example, the mention of foreigners in the village in the messages sent back by the local police before they went missing is quite suspicious.

"Go and call all those snipers back. Don't let them get entangled with these villagers. They have a more important mission."

Qin Huanyu quickly gave orders to Xiao Liu:

"At the same time, change your tactics against the villagers. Stop trying to subdue them. Just focus on defense and stall for time. Leave the rest to me."

"Yes, Sister Yu."

After quickly treating the injuries on his face, Xiao Liu went back to the front lines to fight the villagers, while also relaying Qin Huanyu's orders.

The armed police snipers withdrew shortly afterward. Qin Huanyu instructed them to keep an eye on the house in the village where spiritual energy gathered from the infantry fighting vehicle. They were to open fire as soon as any foreigners came out of the house, prioritizing headshots.

The snipers readily accepted the order.

After making these arrangements, Qin Huanyu took action herself. She was determined to break through the villagers' blockade and rush into the village to kill the cult members who were secretly using evil magic.

These villagers, who were under control, were all fearless and agitated. Whenever they saw police officers, they would swarm and attack them, and they did the same to Qin Huanyu.

However, Qin Huanyu's physical fitness had reached an extraordinary level after the transformation. With a light leap, she could lift her boots more than 2 meters off the ground, then step on the heads of the villagers who wanted to hit her and sprint away.

Even though they were enhanced by a very subtle energy, the villagers' reaction speed was no match for Qin Huanyu's movements. By the time those villagers whose heads had been stepped on tried to grab Qin Huanyu, she had already passed them and gone far away.

After breaking through the villagers' blockade, Qin Huanyu entered the village without any trouble.

The villagers who blocked the police at the village entrance should be all the original inhabitants of the village. Now, apart from that suspicious house, there is no sign of any living people in the village.

Qin Huanyu felt increasingly that the enemy's behavior was strange this time, and she really couldn't imagine what kind of cult would do such a thing.

The vast majority of cults aim nothing more than to swindle money and sexually exploit people. Once discovered by the police, they either flee in panic and hide in the mountains or fight their way out... It's rather absurd that they simply control the villagers to block the road. If the villagers are doing this to buy time for the cult members to escape, then the villagers and police have been fighting for ages, and no one has run away.

However, such cult-like behavior is certainly unforgivable.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu showed no mercy. Before entering the suspicious house where spiritual energy gathered, she threw three grenades into the house through the window.

These three are all offensive grenades, designed to be small and lightweight, relying mainly on the shockwave of the explosion to kill enemies, unlike defensive grenades which produce a large number of fragments.

Three explosions rang out in succession, shattering windows on several sides of the house and causing roof tiles to fall down with a crash. Through the windows, one could see that the house was in complete disarray.

But the screams that Qin Huanyu most wanted to hear did not come, nor did any alarmed enemies leave the house and run outside... as if no one was in the house.

But all the spiritual energy of the entire village is indeed gathered in this house, so even if there is no one inside, there must be something else inside.

'...We can only go in and take a look.'

Qin Huanyu took a deep breath, unsealed the Dragon-Slaying Mace, the Arc Rifle, and the Alloy Tentacles, and prepared to fight a powerful enemy before kicking open the door and rushing inside.

She wouldn't rush in shouting "Police, don't move!" Instead, she would quickly lock onto any moving objects or objects with high concentrations of spiritual energy inside the house, and shoot without hesitation if necessary.

There was no need to search much, because the enemy made no attempt to hide or conceal themselves; they were simply standing against the wall inside the house... Although it was a blind spot from the window, they were directly opposite the door, so Qin Huanyu could see them clearly as soon as she entered.

It was a humanoid figure wearing a hood and a black robe, whose aura was extremely unsettling, and whose spiritual concentration was terrifyingly high, exceeding the detection limit of the spiritual detector and causing the number on Qin Huanyu's goggles to turn into a negative number.

This was a concentration of spiritual energy that even the two Ghost Lords, Pure Love War God and Wild Hunt, did not possess. Qin Huanyu's heart immediately tightened, and she instinctively felt that she might have caught a big fish this time. Without thinking, she fired her arc rifle at the black-robed figure, and dazzling silver-blue arcs of electricity crackled and flashed incessantly.

The powerful electric arc, capable of instantly killing most ordinary ghosts, was completely ineffective this time. When it struck the black-robed man, it didn't even sink to the bottom of the sea... At least a stone falling into the sea makes a splash, but the powerful electric arc had no effect on the black-robed man. The physical values ​​and spiritual concentration around the black-robed man did not change at all.

Qin Huanyu immediately realized that she had probably not caught a big fish this time, but had unfortunately encountered a megalodon. An enemy of this level was definitely not something a mere investigator like her could handle. Even an ordinary patrol officer would have a hard time, and at least a strong person like Lü Meng would be needed to fight it.

What are you waiting for?

Let's retreat. I'll go back and gather some more people, then we'll have a proper battle!

Qin Huanyu thought so, and she planned to do so.

But the man in black robes was after her this time, so of course he wouldn't let her retreat like this.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, my saint."
