“Our Holy Zhou Kingdom has strictly controlled supernatural powers since the era of photo studios a thousand years ago. Those few evil sorcerers who hide are all cowardly as mice. As soon as the authorities catch even the slightest clue, they will immediately cut their tails and flee far away... If I’m not mistaken, the little devil you encountered has most likely been abandoned by its master.”
"That's alright, at least I don't have to deal with dangerous and unpredictable sorcerers anymore... But that brat's abilities are still quite troublesome, do you have any suggestions, Zero-neechan?"
Qin Huanyu asked again:
"How did you resolve the encounter with the powerful monster?"
"You can't learn my methods; you don't have the talent for them."
Zero chuckled softly:
"I was using the true essence of martial arts at the time. I didn't need to lock onto a target; I just threw the punch based on my intuition. Then that weirdo just ran into my full-force punch and was instantly killed by me... It's hard for me to describe that feeling to you because you've never practiced martial arts, so you wouldn't understand."
"The true essence of martial arts... tsk, it's indeed a technique I can't imitate."
Qin Huanyu immediately looked worried:
"I thought I could copy some homework from you, Sister Ling, but I didn't expect I still have to do the problems myself."
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you, little sister Ayu... but I can offer some advice."
Zero thought for a while longer:
"Let's approach that brat from two angles. Since it can't be locked onto, you can try attacking it randomly to see if you get lucky, or you can simply use a wide-range attack."
"Let's forget about large-scale attacks."
Qin Huanyu sighed:
"I've thought about that too, but the place where that latex-clad monkey is is a tunnel. A big explosion could cause a landslide and block the road, which would result in huge losses. As for randomly firing and hoping for the best... I think that's a bit too risky, isn't it?"
"Then you should start by considering the fact that it's a kid."
Zero said again:
“A child raised by a human is still a ghost. Ghosts can be purified by holy light and saved by Buddhist teachings. Don’t you have Cheng Hai, the current top disciple of Shilin Temple, in your group? His Buddhist cultivation should be enough to save that little ghost.”
"Use Buddhist scriptures for salvation? Oh right, that's another way! I've got an idea!"
Qin Huanyu's eyes immediately lit up:
"I can set up a super-high volume loudspeaker on each side of the tunnel, amplify Cheng Hai's chanting amplified, and pour it into the tunnel from both ends simultaneously! The sound waves are an absolutely wide-range attack, so the latex monkey's ability is ineffective! I've also destroyed the sealed hut where it could hide, and as long as we don't enter the tunnel, we don't have to worry about it throwing us out with its boundary ability!"
"It seems that Sister Ayu has already thought of a good solution."
Zero laughed:
"Then I wish you good luck in your martial arts career and that you will solve cases and make meritorious contributions again."
"Okay, Zero-neechan, just wait for my good news!"
Qin Huanyu hung up the phone with Ling and immediately dialed Cheng Hai again:
"Flowery Monk? Have you finished your mission of subduing demons? If you have, come and help me. The enemy I encountered urgently needs your Buddhist teachings to deliver them from suffering."
"Uh……"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai's voice was quite weak; he took two breaths before answering:
"Hey, don't even mention it. I almost got killed by a monster while I was exorcising demons this time... That monster's abilities were quite effective against me. If it weren't for the soldiers who risked their lives to save me, I might have been eaten by the monster."
"Hey? Monk Hua, you're working so... hard?"
Qin Huanyu originally wanted to mock her by saying how weak she was, but then she remembered that she was about to ask Cheng Hai for help, so she changed her mind.
However, Cheng Hai had known Qin Huanyu for almost a year and understood her personality quite well, so he chuckled and recited a Buddhist chant:
"Amitabha... Female Bodhisattva, are you trying to say I'm a loser? Change your tune in time, it's because your case is in trouble and you need my help."
"...Tch, you wretched monk, is it fun to expose people?"
Qin Huanyu, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, made a blunt remark:
"That's right, my case has also run into trouble. The enemy is a bit tricky, and I need your Buddhist cultivation to help it pass on... Help me first. The higher-ups have given me a deadline to solve the case, and then I'll help you exorcise the demon. How about that?"
"Row."
Cheng Hai agreed very readily:
"It just so happens that your Dragon-Slaying Mace should be able to subdue that monster. I was planning to ask for your help after my failure this time, so I'll help you deal with the enemy first... However, I need to rest for a day. I used the Vajra Indestructible Body before, and I'm currently in a weakened state."
"Sure, I have three days to solve the case anyway, and I also need to make some preparations."
Qin Huanyu readily agreed.
After the plan was finalized, Qin Huanyu immediately began preparations.
She first found two of those large loudspeakers that are mounted on the back of trucks, and made some modifications to the loudspeakers to make them louder, so that they could travel more than 10 kilometers in open areas, enough to give someone a heart attack.
That wasn't all. Qin Huanyu then bought a large number of small speakers from the market and added a chassis shaped like a remote-controlled car to each of them, so that the small speakers could be remotely controlled to move.
After working overtime for almost the entire day to complete the preparations, Cheng Hai also recovered after a long period of meditation and recuperation, and was ready to participate in the battle.
This time, it was a serious case of solving a supernatural case, and local armed forces had to cooperate. Cheng Hai borrowed a military helicopter to travel from Shanbei City to Baiguang City to meet up with Qin Huanyu.
Later, with the help of a team of soldiers, they brought two super-large speakers and more than 130 remote-controlled car speakers to the vicinity of the Jin Tong Ling Tunnel.
Two extra-large speakers, one on each side, were positioned with their speakers facing the tunnel entrance. The remote-controlled car's audio system was also fully prepared and ready to drive into the tunnel at any time.
Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai each led dozens of fully armed soldiers to guard the entrances and exits on both sides of the tunnel. Each soldier wore earplugs with excellent sound insulation to prevent being harmed by the noise.
Once everything was ready, Qin Huanyu used the alloy tentacles to connect to the control panel and control the more than 130 remote-controlled car stereos to start driving into the tunnel. At the same time, she gave hand signals to Cheng Hai via video call:
[Read it to me! Read it hard! Read it until that latex-suited monkey dies!]
Chenghai began chanting the sutra.
Two enormous loudspeakers immediately blared deafening sounds, causing even soldiers wearing earplugs to frown and clearly find it unbearable.
Not only did two huge sound waves pour in from both ends of the tunnel at the same time, but Qin Huanyu's remote-controlled car stereo had also driven into the depths of the tunnel, also humming out Buddhist chants.
Zero's judgment was indeed correct; regardless of whether the latex-clad monkey was a little devil or not, the Buddhist scriptures had a strong damaging effect on it.
Almost five seconds after the Buddhist chant began, the glue-clad monkey appeared, rolling around on the ground like another monkey under a spell, its abilities being released haphazardly.
Of the more than 130 remote-controlled car stereos that entered the tunnel, more than half were quickly thrown away by the power of the boundary to an unknown location.
However, the limitations of the power of the realm are also obvious. It only works on moving objects inside the tunnel. Not to mention affecting the super-large loudspeakers at the tunnel entrances on both sides, even those remote-controlled car stereos, Qin Huanyu can stop them and no longer be afraid of being thrown out by the power of the realm.
The rubber-clad monkey is also unable to leave the tunnel, and the seal that allowed it to hide has been completely destroyed. Currently, it seems to have no other option but to wail in pain.
Qin Huanyu watched this scene with pleasure through the camera on the remote-controlled car's audio system, patiently waiting for Chenghai's Buddhist ritual to succeed.
Just when everyone thought the enemy was about to be eliminated, Qin Huanyu's spirit element detector sensed another large-scale spirit element fluctuation, indicating that the power of her realm had been activated again.
But at this moment, all the remote-controlled car speakers in the tunnel had already stopped, so they wouldn't be thrown out by the power of the realm. So why did the glue-clothed monkey forcefully activate the power of the realm at this time?
The answer came quickly.
This time, the power of the boundary didn't throw the things out of the tunnel, but instead pulled other things from who-knows-where into the tunnel. The latex-clad monkey had found reinforcements!
The reinforcements were familiar faces to Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai; they were eight cannibals. As soon as they landed, they split into two groups and rushed towards the two tunnel entrances. They not only destroyed the remote-controlled car's speakers along the way, but also clearly intended to destroy the two super-large speakers.
"Prepare to engage the enemy! Use heavy machine guns!"
Qin Huanyu quickly gave the order and stood at the forefront, holding the Kanglong Mace, its alloy tentacles raised high like scorpion tails, ready for battle.
The battle began soon.
Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai are no longer rookies who just joined the Investigation Bureau. Back then, two cannibals could make their three-person team panic. Now, Qin Huanyu dares to take on four opponents by herself, and she also has the support of the soldiers' firepower.
Few living beings with physical flesh and blood can withstand heavy machine gun fire.
With Qin Huanyu at the forefront, the soldiers could confidently concentrate their fire on the ogres with their heavy machine guns and automatic rifles, quickly riddling the two ogres with bullets.
The two cannibals that Qin Huanyu herself had summoned were also killed by her. One of them had its head smashed like a watermelon with the Kanglong Mace, while the other was strangled to death by her alloy tentacles.
However, things didn't go smoothly for Cheng Hai. He needed to keep chanting scriptures and couldn't take action, so the soldiers had to deal with the four ogres.
The soldiers' long-range firepower was fierce, but they still couldn't suppress all the ogres. They only managed to kill two ogres within the optimal firing range before the remaining two ogres rushed in front of them.
In close combat, the soldiers were no match for the ogres.
Seeing that the soldiers were about to suffer casualties, Cheng Hai had no choice but to stop chanting and join the battle. He unleashed a barrage of Buddhist martial arts techniques, roared twice to subdue demons with Vajra, and with the soldiers firing in unison after they had spread out, he soon killed all the ogres.
But Cheng Hai's chanting stopped for a few minutes, and all the remote-controlled car speakers in the tunnel were destroyed by the cannibal, and the situation of the rubber-clothed monkey was completely unknown.
"I'll go in and check first. If I'm teleported away by the power of the realm, then you can keep chanting sutras until it dies!"
Qin Huanyu had a brief exchange with Cheng Hai and they reached a consensus. She instructed the soldiers to find cover and prepare to face the cannibals' charge once again, and then she walked into the tunnel herself.
She remained on guard, but the spiritual energy within the tunnel remained stable. The monkey in the latex suit neither used its power to throw Qin Huanyu out again nor called for reinforcements.
Soon, Qin Huanyu found the rubber-clad monkey in the tunnel and understood the answer.
The rubber-clad monkey is dead.
It lay quietly in the center of the tunnel, bleeding from its seven orifices, its body turned stone gray, and the spiritual energy fluctuations on its body were extremely weak, merely remnants of a corpse.
Qin Huanyu remained vigilant, first firing two more powerful arc shots with the arc rifle, then smashing the head of the rubber-clad monkey with the Kanglong Mace.
All the attacks hit their targets this time. The ability to be locked on is gone, so the latex-clad monkey must be really dead.
Qin Huanyu breathed a sigh of relief. She invited Cheng Hai in to take a look with her, and ordered the soldiers to clean up the scene and take away all the damaged remote-controlled car stereos.
Qin Huanyu didn't see anything special about the corpse of the glue-clad monkey. She wasn't from the ancient magic school and didn't know much about evil arts.
But Cheng Hai was the current head disciple of Shilin Temple, and he knew a bit about evil magic. He squatted down and studied it for a while, even grabbing a handful of the blood paste from the latex-clad monkey and smelling it, his brows furrowing slightly:
“It was not saved by my Buddhist teachings, nor was it killed by you. It should have been dead before you entered the tunnel, and was silenced by someone.”
"Quiet?"
Qin Huanyu frowned:
"Was it killed by those ogres? But weren't the ogres reinforcements it called? If the ogres were just there to silence us, one would have been enough. There was no need for them to break through our blockade."
"No, the cannibal was just buying time. The real culprit was the master who created this brat."
Cheng Hai shook his head:
"This kind of evil magic that creates imps usually allows the sorcerer to use the imp's abilities to some extent... If I'm not mistaken, the ogres that were just sent over were the owner of this imp. He didn't want me to release this imp, because then he would have nothing left, so he sent over a few ogres to buy time, and took the opportunity to use an evil magic contract to remotely drain everything from this imp."
"That's it..."
Qin Huanyu nodded, then thought for a moment and said:
"The fact that the sorcerer is so reluctant to let the little ghost be saved by your Buddhist scriptures means that the little ghost possesses something very important to him... Could it be the little ghost's ability? Can the sorcerer still use the power of realms after the little ghost dies?"
"Power of realm should be impossible, as this ability is bound to the tunnel."
Cheng Hai rested his chin on his hand and thought about it carefully:
"In my humble opinion, this little ghost was probably a monkey with a special constitution in its previous life. It was brought into this tunnel by a sorcerer and killed in a very cruel way, and then refined into a little ghost. Afterwards, the little ghost became a bound spirit and was bound to this tunnel, and unexpectedly gained the power of realms... The power of realms is too random and uncontrollable. So the other ability on the little ghost should be the ability that sorcerer really wanted."
"That ability that can't be locked on? Tsk, if it's combined with all sorts of dangerous evil magic, it's really going to be very troublesome... I wonder if that sorcerer will ever reappear."
Qin Huanyu sighed:
"What do we do now? Close the case or continue investigating that sorcerer?"
"My opinion is to close the case first. Since that sorcerer chose to silence the little ghost, he should not appear in this case again, and it will be very difficult to investigate."
Cheng Hai offered the following advice:
"Of course, the female bodhisattva can also submit a report to ask what the higher-ups think."
"Then I'll go back and write a report to ask my superiors."
Qin Huanyu quickly made a decision:
"I'll examine those cannibal corpses again when I get back. If undigested human remains are found inside them, then the people who disappeared in the carriage were most likely killed by them... Although the abilities of this latex monkey are strange, its direct combat strength is really weak. I've always doubted how it managed to kill all those people on its own. If those people were just ordinary passengers, it would be fine, but they were all vicious criminals, and most likely they were carrying weapons. It would be absurd for the latex monkey to wipe them all out... But the fact that cannibals were also involved is another matter."
"I understand. As for helping this humble monk subdue demons and monsters?"
Cheng Hai clasped his hands together and said sincerely:
"That monster is also very dangerous; it has already eaten seven villagers. Although the villagers in its area have been evacuated, there is no guarantee that it won't expand its range. If we wait even a day to eliminate it, there is a high possibility that new victims will appear."
"Tomorrow."
Qin Huanyu thought for a moment and said:
"If I get a reply after I finish writing the report, and if they don't assign me any other tasks, I'll go to Shanbei City to find you first thing tomorrow morning."
"can."
