Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Qin Huanyu initially looked down on the title of "Number One Policewoman," feeling that she already was one from the moment she put on the police uniform.

But hearing this from Yi Youyou's mouth now, Qin Huanyu felt inexplicably excited, extremely happy, and even a little smug.

So she continued the conversation about beauty, engaging in a round of mutual flattery with Yi Youyou, much like Cao Cao and Liu Bei discussing heroes over wine.

Of all the beauties in the world, only you and I are truly special.

After praising each other's charm, the two became much closer and naturally began to exchange their experiences and troubles as charming women.

Beautiful women are like this: people can just look and admire them without thinking, but the beautiful women themselves have many things to consider. How to maintain their figure and skin, how to dress to better highlight their charm—these all require careful thought.

The similar conversations resonated with the two of them.

Once you start chatting, time flies by.

While Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou were still discussing whether black stockings or flesh-colored stockings better accentuated the charm of legs, the car stopped in front of the Jin Kaili Hotel, the largest hotel in Baiguang City.

The archaeological team was very dedicated. They all said they wanted to start working as soon as possible, but it was also necessary to put their luggage in their hotel rooms first, and at the same time wash up and have lunch.

Qin Huanyu didn't need to worry about checking into the room or putting away her luggage; there were staff from Jin Kaili Hotel to help. The service at the five-star hotel was quite excellent.

She arranged to meet the archaeological team at Jim Kelly's restaurant in 20 minutes, and then temporarily parted ways with them.

Watching Yi Youyou's graceful figure disappear into the elevator with the waiter, Qin Huanyu turned around, quickened her pace, and went into the hotel's first-floor restroom.

She chose an empty cubicle, went inside, took off her hot pants and black stockings, and sat down. After hesitating for a few seconds, Qin Huanyu couldn't resist taking out her phone.

She found the contact in her contact list with the nickname "Female Little Hacker," opened the chat window, and sent a photo of Yi Youyou directly. The photo was a selfie she had taken with Yi Youyou in the car earlier.

After posting the photos, he also posted a message:

"Xiaoling, I'm giving you half a day. I need all the information about this woman!"

【！！？？？？】

Duanmu Ling replied quickly, the repeated exclamation marks and question marks indicating her surprise upon receiving the message, followed by her direct complaint:

[Mom, is spring finally here for you? You've taken a fancy to this woman? Don't tell me she's just a suspect!]

[Just because we told you to investigate doesn't mean you should! Do you still want your pocket money? You can't afford to maintain and upgrade all that equipment with just the police department's salary, can you?]

[…Tsk, that wretched rich woman, fine, fine, I'll get to work now.]

Upon seeing this message, Qin Huanyu put away her phone with satisfaction. After getting up, wiping herself clean, pulling up her pantyhose, and urinating, she left the restroom.

In fact, Duanmu Ling's guess was correct.

Qin Huanyu was indeed very attracted to Yi Youyou's figure and temperament, but she also had some doubts about Yi Youyou herself.

There's no other reason than that Yi Youyou's figure and temperament are too good, but her looks can't keep up. Qin Huanyu began to suspect that there was something wrong with Yi Youyou's identity, and that her face, which only scored 80 points, might be fake!

Chapter 72 Machine Tomb Raiding

After a simple but expensive meal at the Golden Kelly Restaurant, Professor Zhang Ji declined Qin Huanyu's suggestion that the archaeological team take a nap, insisting on going to see the ancient tomb immediately.

Qin Huanyu could only lead the way.

Surprisingly, Yi Youyou chose to stay at the hotel to rest, saying she wanted to explore Baiguang City in the afternoon. She only wanted firsthand information about the ancient tomb and wouldn't go down into it herself.

Qin Huanyu was quite surprised, and after inquiring carefully, she realized that she had misunderstood before.

Although Yi Youyou also graduated from Shendu University and came with the archaeological team, she was not actually a member of the archaeological team, but rather a representative of the cooperating unit.

Yi Youyou graduated from Shendu University with a master's degree three years ago and is currently working at Shendu Museum. She was promoted to a management position six months ago.

Yi Youyou came to Baiguang City on behalf of the Shendu Museum to see if there were any suitable cultural relics in the ancient tombs that could be collected by the museum as exhibits.

She only focuses on the results of this archaeological excavation and will not participate in the excavation herself.

After learning all this, Qin Huanyu couldn't help but curse Xiao Liu in her heart. The archaeological team information that Xiao Liu gave her only said that Yi Youyou was the granddaughter of the president of Shendu University, but didn't mention a word about Yi Youyou's own details.

Now we can only hope that the little female hacker in the dorm will make more discoveries.

Leaving Yi Youyou alone at the hotel, Qin Huanyu led Professor Zhang Ji's archaeological team directly to Hongmu Town in the afternoon.

At this time, Hongmu Town was still under martial law, with armed police guarding every direction, and all people entering and leaving had to have their identities strictly verified.

The town's residents have been temporarily relocated to other places for isolation and treatment by the municipal government, so there is no need to worry too much even if there are other issues inside the ancient tomb.

At this point, more than 24 hours had passed since the corpse poison mist inside the Hongmu Town subway station was drained. To be on the safe side, Qin Huanyu did not allow anyone to enter the ancient tomb. Instead, she used instruments to monitor the data at the tomb entrance and prepared for the tomb exploration work.

Current instrument monitoring data shows that the subway station is now very safe, with no harmful substances exceeding the standard in the air, and the concentration of menthol is also below the safety line.

After learning about the situation, Professor Zhang Ji hardly hesitated before setting up the front-line support point for the archaeological work inside the subway station.

After a moment's hesitation, Qin Huanyu did not object.

Considering that there are likely other supernatural forces defending the ancient tomb, it would be dangerous to send people in directly for archaeological work. So Qin Huanyu suggested that the robot dog go into the tomb to take a look first.

This robotic dog was part of Qin Huanyu's preparations for archaeological work. She worked overnight at the research institute to modify a new type of mine exploration robotic dog, adding the same spirit element detection function as her mobile phone.

The reason why the robot dog was not used to explore the ancient tomb before the archaeological team arrived was because Qin Huanyu was not an archaeology professional. She was afraid that if she rashly let the robot dog into the tomb, it would cause some damage and she would be criticized by the archaeological experts who regarded cultural relics as their life.

In fact, there are many things to be aware of in this regard. Professor Zhang Ji was even worried about letting Qin Huanyu operate the robot dog and insisted on operating it himself.

Qin Huanyu couldn't refuse him, so after giving him some pointers on how to control the robot dog, she handed over the controller, which looked like a game controller, to Professor Zhang Ji.

Professor Zhang Ji sat in the makeshift support point inside the subway station, his eyes fixed intently on the computer screen in front of him. He swallowed hard and gently pushed the joystick of the robot dog controller with his left thumb.

The robot dog waiting at the cave entrance immediately started walking and went into the cave.

With each step the robot dog takes, various values ​​on the left and bottom of the display change, especially the concentration of pheromones, which steadily increases.

The robot dog walked about 4 meters before encountering a corner of about 70 degrees. The area beyond the corner was no longer illuminated by the subway station's lights, making it appear exceptionally dark and deep.

The concentration of spiritual essence also reached a critical point when the robot dog reached the inflection point; if it continued to move forward, it would be vulnerable to attack by supernatural forces at any time.

But no one cared or hesitated; this mechanical detector was invented to take the place of humans in venturing into dangerous paths.

Professor Zhang Ji moved the controller joystick, causing the robot dog to make a turn.

Without external light, the screen's brightness dropped significantly, leaving only a dim little light on the robot dog, making the once clearly visible stone wall impossible to see.

"I considered this situation, so I specially installed a powerful light source on the robot dog. You can turn it on by pressing and holding these two buttons at the same time."

Upon seeing this, Qin Huanyu quickly reminded Professor Zhang Ji, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"I know, you already told me that before."

Professor Zhang Ji showed no intention of turning on the powerful light source, but instead manipulated the robot dog to move closer to one of the walls:

"However, strong light cannot be used casually in ancient tombs, because many precious ancient paintings may be damaged after being exposed to strong light."

While explaining, Professor Zhang Ji had already maneuvered the robot dog to approach a wall and pointed the camera close to the wall:

"Look! There are indeed murals on these walls! These are very valuable treasures!"

Then Professor Zhang Ji had a doctoral student in the archaeological team who was skilled in computer technology zoom in on the footage captured by the camera and study it carefully.

Qin Huanyu didn't understand those cultural matters; she only focused on the various data transmitted back by the detectors on the robot dog.

About two minutes later, Qin Huanyu and Professor Zhang Ji exchanged their findings, confirming that the murals were not afraid of strong light and would not have any dangerous reaction to it.

The computer screen immediately lit up again, and the situation inside the ancient tomb was displayed more clearly to everyone.

The robot dog is currently in a passageway that is about 30 meters long and about 2 meters wide.

The passageway and the subway tracks are basically parallel. The 4-meter-wide tunnel that connects the ancient tomb passageway and the subway tunnel at an angle of about 70 degrees was directly created by the derailed train.

The walls on both sides of the subway tunnel have definitely been reinforced artificially, but the soil behind the walls is relatively soft.

The subway derailed at high speed, like a sharp spear, smashed through the artificial wall as if piercing through armor, and then smashed through the soft, fleshy soil about 4 meters behind the wall, creating the scene and triggering the zombie disaster 3 days ago.

Professor Zhang Ji controlled the robot dog to circle twice in the passageway of the ancient tomb, thus confirming the direction of the main burial chamber, and then carefully walked towards it.

The spiritual element detection device repeatedly alarmed along the way, proving that there was indeed an extraordinary power inside the ancient tomb. It might be some kind of defensive mechanism or trap, or it might be the tomb owner's burial objects.

Chapter 73 Hypnotic Soul Capture

Qin Huanyu and the archaeological team were prepared for the robot dog to be destroyed at any time, as an ancient tomb with such spiritual reactions could not possibly only have corpse poison mist as a defense mechanism.

However, no attack occurred until the robot dog had walked the entire corridor, and it successfully reached the end of the corridor.

This is the main part of the ancient tomb, which consists of three burial chambers arranged in a roughly triangular shape. The central main burial chamber should be the largest, but it is blocked by a stone door, so the interior cannot be seen.

The smaller side chambers on either side have no doors, but you can clearly see all sorts of burial objects inside, including bottles, jars, musical instruments, and jewelry—each a precious antique.

In front of the main burial chamber, there is a tomb guardian beast, a bronze-cast Qilin. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it is a seamless whole. In particular, the eyes of the bronze Qilin are so lifelike that they seem to have a life of their own.

Given the extremely high concentration of spiritual energy in the ancient tomb, it wouldn't be surprising if this bronze unicorn suddenly jumped up and bit the tomb raider to death.

Professor Zhang Ji carefully circled the bronze Qilin twice with the robot dog, even touching it to provoke it, but the bronze Qilin did not react at all.

It seemed the bronze unicorn was truly an inanimate object, but Professor Zhang Ji was not careless and earnestly reminded Qin Huanyu:

“There were no robotic dogs in ancient times. Even if there were similar mechanical beasts, they could only be driven by spiritual energy. Therefore, there are many traps and mechanisms in ancient tombs that will only be activated after detecting a person’s life force and spiritual energy fluctuations.”

“I encountered a similar situation before. When we used drones to explore the ancient tomb, there was no danger. However, when people went in, the bronze figures suddenly came to life, causing considerable casualties to the archaeological team.”

"This bronze kylin reminds me of those bronze figures from that time. The two ancient tombs may have come from the same period or used similar tomb-guarding techniques."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Qin Huanyu raised the Dragon-Slaying Mace in her hand:

"We will be on guard when we enter the ancient tomb... If any danger arises, Professor, you must cooperate with the armed police accompanying you. They will lead you to evacuate in the fastest and most correct way. I will stay behind to cover the rear."

"Then please."

Professor Zhang Ji thanked Qin Huanyu very politely, and did not look down on her because she was young and a woman.

As an archaeological expert who frequently enters ancient tombs, Professor Zhang Ji is very familiar with supernatural powers and has cooperated with many investigators and patrol officers. He is very clear about the abilities of the members of the Investigation Bureau.

Previously, when Qin Huanyu used her mobile phone to scan and detect the ancient tomb from outside, she detected two relatively powerful sources of spiritual energy fluctuations inside the tomb. One of them was the bronze kylin, and the other came from the main tomb chamber's door.

The stone gate was painted with a sky full of stars and many little people, and it lit up like fluorescent light when the robot dog approached.

Even through the screen, Qin Huanyu could see the stars and figures on the stone gate growing brighter and brighter, seemingly flashing and rotating according to some kind of pattern, silently telling a story and captivating the viewer's mind completely.

not good!

As a trained professional, Qin Huanyu snapped out of her daze after a few seconds and unhesitatingly unplugged the monitor, plunging the screen into complete darkness.

"what!"

Professor Zhang Ji then cried out as if waking from a nightmare, and several armed police officers at the scene also clutched their heads, looking as if they had been drunk and drowsy. Meanwhile, two of the younger doctoral students in the archaeological team had collapsed on the ground, sleeping soundly like babies.

"Quick! Call the medical staff to examine them!"

Qin Huanyu immediately gave the order.

There were already excellent medical staff on standby in Hongmu Town, and they arrived quickly to examine and treat the affected people.

Fortunately, none of the people who were affected earlier were seriously injured. The two doctoral students who slept like babies had simply fallen asleep, with only a very small amount of spiritual essence remaining in their bodies. They were fine after being given a few electric shocks with a pacemaker by the nurse.

“Those paintings should be the seals on the main burial chamber door, and also a means for the tomb owner to identify visitors… This is the first time I have seen such a method in person, but I have seen similar records in the archaeological notes of my predecessors.”

Professor Zhang Ji truly lives up to his reputation as a dedicated expert; having just recovered, he quickly analyzed and deduced the cause of what had just happened:

"In these ancient tombs, the truly valuable burial objects are definitely in the main burial chamber. Those things are even the wealth left by the tomb owner to his descendants, enough for them to make a comeback when they are desperate."

"Therefore, the main tomb chamber door is not sealed. There is a way to break the seal of the extraordinary power on the door, and the answer lies in the painting on the door."

"But those paintings also hold a secret. Only the descendants or inheritors of the tomb owner can find the way to break the seal in the paintings. If people who are not related to the tomb owner look at those paintings, they will be hypnotized and attacked with their souls, just like we just did."

"Fortunately, we were only looking at those paintings through a screen, and thankfully Officer Qin reacted quickly enough to cut off the screen in time. Otherwise, some of us might have had our souls taken by those paintings and would be sleeping in this ancient tomb forever."

"That's really a dangerous painting."

Qin Huanyu frowned as she listened:

"How can this seal be broken? Is it recorded in the archaeological notes the professor is reading?"

"This……"

Professor Zhang Ji's expression suddenly became somewhat awkward, followed by a wry smile:

"That ancestor didn't have a good solution either. He couldn't break the seal for a long time, and in the end, he used explosives to force the seal open."

"Explode it? That's a simple method."

Qin Huanyu immediately prepared to call on the armed police to prepare explosives and rockets.

"It's best not to blow it up if you can avoid it."

Professor Zhang Ji seemed to have seen through Qin Huanyu's plan and quickly tried to dissuade her:
