Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Yi Youyou first replied with a string of ellipses, and then became quite annoyed:

【Ayu, are you checking up on me? Who are you to me? Hmm?】

Despite saying that, about 20 seconds later, Yi Youyou still sent Qin Huanyu a photo of herself taking a selfie while drinking coffee in her office. She was indeed dressed in a shirt, a narrow skirt, stockings, and high heels.

Oh open?

Qin Huanyu stared at the photo sent by Yi Youyou for a couple of seconds, but couldn't see any flaws.

She showed no intention of apologizing and immediately changed the subject, rambling on and on:

Oh my gosh, who's this beauty? I really want to stay and work overtime with her, ideally until we miss the last shuttle bus, and then we can get a room together at a nearby hotel...

Are you crazy? If you're really lonely, go to the supermarket and buy a fresh cucumber. Don't stand here generating electricity and disturb my overtime work... I'm ignoring you!

Yi Youyou sent one last angry puff-up face emoji and then stopped replying to the message.

Seeing this, Qin Huanyu also put away her phone, resting her chin on her hand thoughtfully.

During the archaeological excavation, she did become quite close with Yi Youyou. They would drink tea together, chat, and take selfies to post online. They were practically best friends.

But they were only pseudo-best friends; they weren't at the point where they could check up on each other. Qin Huanyu admitted that what she had said earlier was somewhat impolite, and she was prepared for Yi Youyou to be angry and ignore her for a few days.

As it turned out, Yi Youyou did show anger, but she actually sent a selfie, which made Qin Huanyu wonder what was going on.

That selfie seems a bit like a blatant attempt to cover something up. Even if Youyou and the female thief are really two different people, this behavior still seems a bit off.

'Ruling out the extremely slim possibility that Youyou really isn't a female thief and was just confused from working overtime... Could the person in the treasure vault really be her?'

If that's the case...

Qin Huanyu clenched her fist:

'Perhaps we can use this opportunity to lure her out and arrest her? It's the police's duty to catch thieves. Even if we can't detain her for too long, we can at least interrogate her for a night... and no one can say anything!'

. . . . .

Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Miss Skylark put away her phone and let out a sigh of relief.

She was startled when Qin Huanyu suddenly sent her a message, thinking that Lü Meng had told Qin Huanyu about discovering her.

After hesitating for a while, Miss [Yun Que] decided to deal with it first. So she quickly contacted her secretary and acted as an information relay, relying on the live situation at the Divine Capital Museum to deal with Qin Huanyu's questions.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huanyu did not believe her and even demanded that she post photos to prove her innocence!

Miss Lark was furious. Normally, she would have cursed at her a few times and then ignored her for the time being, but it seems that wouldn't work this time.

Since Miss Skylark was indeed lying, and she herself was not in the capital, she inevitably felt guilty and made a foolish move.

She actually asked the secretary for a selfie and sent it to Qin Huanyu to prove her innocence, and then pretended to be angry to indicate that she would no longer pay attention to Qin Huanyu for the time being.

She thought this would clear her name of suspicion to some extent, and at least provide more evidence in future confrontations... As long as Xiaoyeying's identity as a martial artist was not exposed, all this evidence would be irrefutable alibis, and even if Qin Huanyu had doubts, there would be nothing she could do.

Miss Lark felt that her response was correct and continued to lie in wait for the right opportunity.

. . . . .

More than two hours have passed, and it's already past 10 p.m.

The fully immersive gaming pod suddenly beeped and opened automatically.

it's over!

Qin Huanyu and Lü Meng, who were resting with their eyes closed, and Cheng Hai and Bai Ling, who arrived later, exchanged glances, quickly got up, and nervously looked at the game pod.

"Aaaaaaaaaa..."

The first sound coming from the gaming pod was a series of screams that sounded somewhat incoherent.

Then Xiao Jian staggered out of the game pod, looking dazed, his face covered in tears and saliva, his eyes red from crying, clearly having already broken down.

"Aaaaaah... Tauren deserve to die! They deserve to die! Die! Burn you all!"

The incredibly realistic gaming experience left Xiao Jian momentarily unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy. The overly stimulating storyline had him in a state of heightened excitement, like a lit powder keg.

He smelled flammable liquids and powders in the food court hall and saw a flamethrower used for grilling meat.

Naturally, Xiao Jian, who was almost driven mad by the agonizing Tauren game, felt an urge to burn everything.

"Die! All of you die! Burn you alive!"

Xiao Jian angrily picked up the flamethrower, his eyes almost turning red, and even several blurry afterimages appeared behind him.

It worked!

Qin Huanyu and the others were overjoyed at the sight and quietly retreated. Cheng Hai also took his game console with him as he retreated, which Xiao Jian, who was in a daze, did not notice at all.

At this moment, Xiao Jian felt as if countless pure love warriors were with him. He wanted to ignite the world with the flames of anger and burn all the minotaurs to death!

"You all die!"

Filled with anger, Xiao Jian finally pulled the trigger on the flamethrower.

boom!

The food court, which had already been sprayed with a lot of flammable liquids and powders, was ready to catch fire at any moment. The food court itself also contained many wooden tables and chairs, which were all high-quality combustible materials.

The fire quickly spiraled out of control, and the entire hall was almost engulfed in flames.

But Xiao Jian is fine.

Qin Huanyu and Bai Ling worked together seamlessly. Almost the instant the fire was ignited, Qin Huanyu, protected by Bai Ling's water magic, rushed into the flames and rescued Xiao Jian.

The act of lighting the fire must have resonated with the ghost realm in some way. That seemingly simple act took a heavy toll on Xiao Jian, and the young man has now lost consciousness and fainted.

After having the others take Xiao Jian to the hospital to rest, Qin Huanyu and Lü Meng kept a close eye on the food court, which was now completely engulfed in flames.

When Xiao Jian evoked a resonance with the God of Pure Love, Qin Huanyu knew she had succeeded, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confidence.

Sure enough, when the food court was almost reduced to ruins in the fire, a scene that looked like a mirage appeared, superimposed on the burning food court: a burning brothel.

Unlike the deserted food court, the burning brothel seems to be a recreation of the original tragic fire. You can see many customers and brothel girls struggling in the flames, but none of them could escape the fate of perishing in the fire.

This is precisely the phenomenon of the overlap between the ghost realm and the mortal world; the gate to the ghost realm is about to open.

However, Lü Meng seemed unwilling to wait even for this moment and decided to speed up.

"drink."

He took off his coat, leaving him in only a vest, which accentuated his muscular upper body, and his metal prosthetic leg made a clicking sound like a computer under heavy load.

'Is this pure, super-spirit-refining iron? It's huge! So much of it!'

This was the first time Qin Huanyu had seen Lü Meng's metal prosthetic limb, and she swallowed enviously.

This rare metal, which is strictly controlled by the state, is something she can't buy even if she makes a lot of money mining it; she can only slowly accumulate it through rewards for solving cases.

'Um? '

Soon, Qin Huanyu realized that Lü Meng's metal prosthetic limb was highly technologically advanced, and it seemed that it also utilized the technology of her father, Qin Hai.

With her Mathematical Eye activated, Qin Huanyu focused her mind and carefully observed the operation of the prosthetic limb, recording all the details and data.

Click!Click!Click!

As the metal prosthetic arm operated, three eggshells, each about a finger's length, popped out from the outside of Lü Meng's upper arm, as if fired from a revolver.

sizzle.

Then, lightning flashed, and thunder enveloped Lü Meng's fist. With a fierce shout, he punched the ghostly illusion before him.

Triple Loading. Lightning Fist!

Chapter 105 Trying to hypnotize and control Ayu? You'll lose your head!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, a silver-blue spherical lightning bolt, over half a meter in diameter, slammed into the mirage-like ghostly phantom along with Lü Meng's fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, completely severing the connection between the ghostly realm and the mortal world.

"Ugh!"

A scream followed immediately. Qin Huanyu, who was about to complain about Lü Meng's impatience, saw a person scream and fly backward. His face was burned beyond recognition, and he convulsed on the ground for a few moments before falling still.

"Huh, it's true."

Lü Meng seemed completely unsurprised. While loading three more large plasma bullets, each about the length of an index finger, into his Spirit-Extinguishing Iron Prosthetic Arm, he explained to the three rookie investigators:

"The phenomenon of the resonance between the Ghost Realm and the mortal world is not only visible here, but can also be clearly sensed in the Ghost Realm. Since we've come knocking on their door, some clever guys like to hide at the entrance and launch sneak attacks. I've already taken down quite a few of those people."

"Let's go."

After speaking, Lü Meng stepped into the Ghost Realm and kicked the enemy he had already killed:

"According to Xiao Qin's initial speculation, the monster in the Ghost Realm called the God of Pure Love or the Bull Slaughter should have been born for at least a month. The superhumans that it has recruited to act as its henchmen should be more than just the few mentioned in the case... Everyone be careful."

"Yes, Inspector (Senior Lü)!" x3

Qin Huanyu, Cheng Hai, and Bai Ling responded and made their final preparations.

Cheng Hai and Bai Ling both inhaled a few more breaths of spiritual energy to confirm that they were in good condition before following Lü Meng into the Ghost Realm.

Qin Huanyu was the last to enter the Ghost Realm. Before entering, she quickly tidied up her equipment.

In addition to the Dragon-Slaying Mace, the Arc Rifle [Jade Kirin Type 1], the Steel Cable Wristband, and the Police Pistol, Qin Huanyu brought two more items this time.

The first item was a pair of goggles that looked a bit like diving goggles. This wasn't a new gadget she had recently developed; it was an AR headset goggle that had been around for a while. Its main purpose was to wirelessly connect to a special mobile phone that could detect spiritual energy, allowing Qin Huanyu to gain a spiritual energy field of vision and directly see the flow of spiritual energy.

The second item consisted of three standard military-grade fragmentation grenades, primarily intended for killing humans. Since the enemy force included human superhumans, this type of weapon was more effective against them. Many superhumans were high-attack, low-defense, fragile attackers; a single bullet to a vital point could take them down, let alone a fragmentation grenade with its area-of-effect damage.

After confirming that all her equipment was in good condition, Qin Huanyu entered the Ghost Realm.

Unexpectedly, just a few seconds later, Lü Meng, Cheng Hai, and Bai Ling had all disappeared, and the surrounding fires had all vanished. Qin Huanyu arrived at an old-fashioned street.

Slightly surprised, Qin Huanyu remained calm, as this situation was within her expectations.

The intersection of the Ghost Realm and the mortal world is the site of the fire from back then. This does not mean that the Ghost Realm is only the size of the food court. Its actual size is likely equivalent to a city block or even a city.

Qin Huanyu calmly observed her surroundings and found that although the streets had changed drastically, she still recognized the basic layout. This was still Baiguang City, the Baiguang City of more than 60 years ago, and very likely the Baiguang City as it was on the day of that devastating fire.

During this period, small cities like Baiguang City did not have buildings that were dozens of stories high, and even buildings with more than 6 stories were very rare. The vast majority of buildings on the street were 2 to 4 stories high.

Finding the tallest three-story building nearby, Qin Huanyu quickly climbed up using steel cable braces, gaining a wider vantage point for observation.

She soon discovered that this ghostly space was about three or four city blocks in size, with a large area of ​​burning flames in the center, which was the location of Yexuan Food City, the brothel where the fire occurred years ago.

They didn't see Lü Meng, Cheng Hai, or Bai Ling, nor did they see any enemies or any ongoing battle.

After a moment's thought, Qin Huanyu decided to cautiously approach the fire scene at the center of the space, where the ghost realm and the mortal world met. It would be right to first assess the situation there and take control of it.

. . . . .

Shortly after the Investigation Bureau team entered the Ghost Realm, Miss [Hibari] also took action.

Although the Treasure Pavilion and the Investigation Bureau have ideological differences, they were both originally photo studios and both have the responsibility to combat supernatural threats and protect ordinary people. Miss Lark was also raised with this responsibility from a young age, and she cannot remain completely indifferent to the ghostly realm before her.

And another point...

'I'm going to see for myself how that idiot Ayu gets her comeuppance in the Ghost Realm! It's not that I'm worried she'll be bullied and want to help her, absolutely not!'

'I'm going to bully her too! Yes, that's it!'

. . . . .

Inside the ghost.

Similar to when Qin Huanyu entered, Lü Meng, Cheng Hai, and Bai Ling did not arrive at the scene of the brothel fire after fully entering the Ghost Realm, but were scattered in various corners of the Ghost Realm.

Lu Meng made the same judgment as Qin Huanyu, believing that no matter what, they should first go to the intersection of the brothel fire scene in the center of the ghost realm and the mortal world.

However, Lü Meng was more confident and unparalleled in fierceness. He did not dodge or hide, but instead advanced head-on into the center of the ghost realm like a human tank.

Such an arrogant attitude naturally aroused the enemy's dissatisfaction. Lü Meng was the first to be ambushed by the enemy's superhumans, which also ignited the battle within the Ghost Realm.

The first enemy to ambush Lü Meng was a superhuman who could use poison mist. The poison mist he spewed could make anyone who inhaled it fall into a coma within seconds, and their heart would stop beating in about 2 minutes.

Unfortunately, his poisonous mist was entirely generated from spiritual essence and contained no truly lethal chemical components. It was all sucked in by Lü Meng's Spirit-Absolute Iron prosthetic arm, just like a range hood sucking in cooking fumes. Then, under the effect of the Spirit-Absolute Iron, it turned into ordinary, harmless waste gas.

Not only that, but with his rich combat experience, Lü Meng also found the enemy superhuman hiding in a house on the side of the street from the direction from which the poisonous fog was coming, and punched him into a severe concussion.

Lu Meng thought his move would deter the villains and prevent them from making any rash moves, but instead it stirred up a hornet's nest and aroused the enemy's fighting spirit, leading to an encirclement and attack.

Various superhumans abandoned their ambush positions and gathered around Lü Meng to gang up on him.

Among them are some rather comical weak enemies, such as one superhuman with the ability to split up and act independently. For example, he inexplicably flew his head out like a drone, attempting to sneak up from behind and bite Lü Meng's neck.

As a result, Lü Meng grabbed his head with his Spirit-Slaying Iron Prosthetic Arm and crushed it like a ramen noodle, spilling blood and brain matter all over the ground. The headless body, which had been able to move normally after its head flew away, also became a headless corpse after its head was destroyed.

There are also enemies with strong abilities and combat skills, such as a guy in a blue construction uniform and a yellow hat who drives an excavator like a Gundam.
