Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Bai Ling stared in disbelief, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lip again:

"Then... what are you planning to do, Sister Youyou? Please don't tell me that you and Sister Youyou are just ordinary best friends, or I will really look down on you."

"Youyou is mine too, of course!"

Qin Huanyu chuckled twice more, appearing quite smug.

"Isn't common sense for adults to want both?"

"All...all of it?"

Bai Ling's expression suddenly became complicated, seemingly tinged with hope, but she quickly composed herself and unceremoniously gave Qin Huanyu the middle finger, making a gesture of disgust:

"You scumbag! So you're this kind of bad woman, Sister Yu!"

"So, Ling'er, you like bad women... oh, really?"

Qin Huanyu suddenly touched Bai Ling's face in a somewhat flirtatious manner. Although someone immediately poked her back hard with their finger like an electric drill, she remained unfazed.

"I'd rather see a bad woman get killed with a machete after she's been having affairs!"

Bai Ling slapped Qin Huanyu's hand away, rolled her eyes in annoyance, stuffed several bottles of painkillers and wound-healing medicine into Qin Huanyu's arms, and left.

Qin Huanyu and Yi Youyou remained on the mountaintop, waiting for the second batch of reinforcements to arrive.

It's still unclear what the Wild Hunt's conspiracy is this time. Although the Wild Hunt has been defeated and its Ghost Realm has collapsed, the surrounding area still needs to be searched carefully. Perhaps we can find some important clues. Qin Huanyu needs to be on-site to direct this search.

After watching the medic's helicopter leave, Yi Youyou raised her handcuffed hands and grumbled irritably:

"Hurry up and untie me! I'm not going to run away..."

"...Are you really not going to run away, Youyou?"

Qin Huanyu showed no intention of removing the handcuffs, only offering a half-smile:

"If I hadn't decisively used this method to keep you here, you would have used taking care of Lao Guo as an excuse to leave with them, right? And then found a chance to run away halfway through, right?"

"……snort!"

Yi Youyou didn't deny it, but snorted defiantly:

"It's all that idiot Lao Guo's fault for being fooled by you. Otherwise, you would never, ever, ever have caught me so easily. I would have teased you a few more times... Waaah!?"

Qin Huanyu completely ignored Yi Youyou's defiant grumbling. She simply and violently silenced Yi Youyou by silencing her with a kiss, until both of their bodies went limp and their eyes became glazed.

Chapter 139 The Interrogation Game Begins

"...You shameless, incompetent cop, you've pulled another surprise attack!"

Beside a large rock on the mountaintop, Yi Youyou sat on the ground with her back against the rock. Her free hand was adjusting the mask that was about to fall off her face, while her handcuffed hand was pinching Qin Huanyu hard.

"hey-hey."

Qin Huanyu neither dodged nor fought back, she just smiled, and as she smiled, she moved her mouth closer to Yi Youyou's face again, as if she wanted to continue.

"Are you out of your mind, getting all worked up? Aren't you going to stop yet?"

Yi Youyou quickly pushed Qin Huanyu's face to the side and said irritably:

"I know I'm beautiful and you're infatuated with me, but don't you think about the occasion? People will be searching the mountain later, what if we get seen?"

"So what if you see it?"

Qin Huanyu didn't care at all:

"What era are we living in? Some daring couples even dare to be together in public. What's so special about us kissing on the mountaintop?"

"You even know that kissing is something only couples do?"

Yi Youyou snorted in annoyance, then gave a half-smile:

"Or could I take this as Ayu, you're confessing your feelings to me?"

"How could that be? You're just being delusional again, Youyou."

Qin Huanyu made a very innocent expression:

"It's just a kiss... Isn't it normal for a girl to kiss something pretty? Many girls kiss cats and dogs too."

"You still call me a cat or a dog, huh?" Yi Youyou gritted her teeth.

"No, I mean, Youyou, your beauty is like the cuteness of a small animal, making it hard to control my behavior. If I stare at you for just a few seconds, I can't help but want to hug you and kiss you. This is a normal physiological reaction when humans see beautiful things, and it may not necessarily be love."

Qin Huanyu gave a serious explanation, then changed the subject with a mischievous smile:

"Of course, if it's someone you like so much, Youyou, considering how good our relationship is, I might give you a chance to pursue me... Ouch, you really bite me?"

"I'm biting you, you shameless bastard!"

Yi Youyou no longer wanted to talk to Qin Huanyu; she just wanted to pinch her with her fingers, bite her with her mouth, and kick her hard with her feet!

The two of them continued to fool around on the mountain for a while until they could hear the roar of military truck engines in the distance. They then quickly stopped and tidied up their disheveled clothes.

The second wave of support finally arrived. This time it was the military, the same military that often cooperated with the Investigation Bureau in handling supernatural cases. Among them were many familiar faces to Qin Huanyu, all of whom had fought alongside her and Cheng Hai against the "Latex Monkey" in the case of the carriage disappearance.

Therefore, the two sides cooperated very well this time. Under Qin Huanyu's command, the well-trained elite soldiers began to inspect the mountain where the Wild Hunt had been lurking for who knows how long.

Qin Huanyu used her Mathematical Magic Eye to continuously observe the scientific data of various parts of the mountain, and also used the Spirit Element Detector to check those places with abnormal Spirit Element concentrations. These were the key targets of the investigation.

Yi Youyou joined in for a while, but seemed too embarrassed to just slack off, so she also took out her family's secret weapon to help with the search.

The multi-pronged investigative approach, coupled with the elite soldiers' meticulous execution of orders, led to a discovery very quickly.

The Wild Hunt dug a very hidden tunnel into the mountain, leading to the center of the mountain. At the end of the tunnel is a hollow space of about 300 square meters. On the ground of the hollow space is a strange pattern drawn with human blood mixed with the juice of various herbs. The pattern also contains many strange animal organs.

"This is a black magic circle from the Western Continent."

Yi Youyou glanced at the pattern a few times and then made a judgment:

"Keep asking for support, Ayu. I don't understand this stuff, and you probably can't either... But your investigation bureau has theoretical experts in this area, so let them handle it."

"Row."

Qin Huanyu made the same judgment. She quickly took out her phone and contacted the investigation bureau again to explain the situation at the scene. Afterwards, she ordered the army to cordon off the area around the mountain to prevent civilians from accidentally entering and causing an accident.

After receiving Qin Huanyu's report, the Investigation Bureau first asked Qin Huanyu to take photos of the magic circle from different angles and upload them. Then, they seemed to take it quite seriously and said they would send experts over immediately.

More than an hour later, the sound of the helicopter engine could be heard again, and the experts who came from the capital to provide support had finally arrived.

There were three experts, all middle-aged men carrying backpacks, unkempt and even somewhat slovenly. Their steps were unsteady, and they possessed no extraordinary power. Compared to the magic array experts Qin Huanyu had anticipated, these three seemed more like delusional paranormal enthusiasts.

However, since they were experts sent by the Investigation Bureau and came from the capital, Qin Huanyu had some doubts about them, but she didn't say anything and patiently waited for their investigation results.

The three men circled the magic circle inside the cave repeatedly, using magnifying glasses and other tools to observe it. They also applied several kinds of pungent-smelling medicines to their eyes and even pulled out old-looking books to compare.

After nearly four hours of research, when it was already completely dark and Qin Huanyu was about to take a nap with Yi Youyou, the three experts finally came up with a preliminary result.

"We're about 80% sure about our predictions..."

Under Qin Huanyu's watchful gaze, the leading expert nervously swallowed.

"We haven't figured out the specific function of this magic circle yet, but we can tell that it's actually part of a larger magic circle. This part is at most one-fifth of it. It's the command input and interaction module of the entire magic circle system, roughly equivalent to the control panel on an appliance... Do you have a detailed map of the nearby mountains? We suspect that the other magic circles are in the nearby mountains, forming a whole with this magic circle."

Of course, there was a map. Qin Huanyu gave the map to the three experts, who then gathered together to study it for a while. They marked the seven most suspicious mountains in the vicinity and suggested that Qin Huanyu lead the army to search them carefully again.

Qin Huanyu really wanted to go home and get some sleep before coming back tomorrow, but seeing the three experts' enthusiastic eyes and the soldiers' high-spirited expressions, she couldn't bring herself to slack off. She could only force herself to endure her fatigue and lead the team to continue working overtime.

This busy period lasted until the afternoon of the next day.

Although the three experts from the capital weren't exactly handsome, they were genuinely quite capable. Their judgment was spot on: there were six more mountains nearby with similar magic arrays hidden within their bodies, forming a complete system with the initially discovered magic array.

"...This is an irreversible cluster-type transformation array."

After studying all the magic arrays, the three experts, who had also worked through the night, came to this conclusion with somewhat grim expressions:

"Their radiation range is about 30 kilometers, which is just enough to cover White Light City. The effect is to gradually turn the humans within the range into demons, and the process takes about a month."

"Were these magic circles successfully activated?"

Qin Huanyu's face instantly turned very ugly, and she asked nervously.

"not at all."

Fortunately, the experts gave a not-too-bad answer:

“These magic circles are complete, but they don’t seem to have collected enough energy and there’s no sign of them being activated… If these magic circles had been activated, the materials on those array patterns would have been consumed long ago, and they wouldn’t still be intact.”

"Sufficient energy... should be used to gather people's fear of tigers and support for hunting by exploiting the series of tiger attacks, right? Given the bizarre nature of the Wild Hunt, she should be able to convert these into magic."

Qin Huanyu quickly made a deduction, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt somewhat smug:

"Looks like I've done something again... If I had just waited for Gu Hao to make his move before trying to capture him, Wild Hunt might have already gathered enough power to activate the magic array, and the consequences would have been terrible... Many of my family and friends are in White Light City."

"but……"

After a brief moment of relief and smugness, Qin Huanyu frowned slightly again:

"How did Wild Hunt manage to pull off such a massive project without being discovered? Digging these caves in the mountains isn't easy... whether using technology or supernatural powers, it shouldn't have gone unnoticed at all, right? Unless..."

Qin Huanyu thought of a possibility and quickly took out her phone to search for the specific development time of Shuanglongtan Scenic Area.

The most likely reason why the Wild Hunt could secretly set up these magic circles without attracting attention is that she was hiding her actions under another operation, which is also a common tactic used by the Truth Society.

The only major project that these mountains have undergone in recent years was the development of the Shuanglongtan Scenic Area.

What Qin Huanyu wanted to investigate was the development time of the Shuanglongtan Scenic Area and the construction company.

This is not difficult to find; it doesn't even require the authority of the police or investigators. You can find it directly on a search engine.

Shuanglongtan, a scenic spot that many people in Baiguang City have played in since childhood, was developed 31 years ago, and the construction was carried out by a local company in Baiguang City.

This timing is quite interesting, because the Truth Society's large-scale invasion and defeat of Saint Zhou happened almost 30 years ago. To be precise, the Black Tortoise of Chesno was defeated and sealed 28 years ago.

If these magic arrays within the Shuanglongtan Scenic Area were one of the hidden schemes planted by the Truth Society before their invasion of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, it would be quite reasonable.

There is a lot of information about the Truth Society in the Bureau of Investigation's study materials. Qin Huanyu also talked about this organization with Yi Youyou yesterday when they were playing on the mountaintop.

This organization was established more than 70 years ago after the end of the Great Patriotic War.

To avoid the destruction of civilization, the leaders of the two major factions in the human world chose to put aside their hatred and work together to eliminate the many evil creatures, monsters, and cults that had been born from the war. They also used methods to block supernatural beings to guide the thoughts of ordinary people, preventing those monsters and evil creatures from absorbing more human thoughts and continuing to grow stronger.

This method was very effective. At that time, many monsters, evil creatures and cults were destroyed, and several kingdoms that had been completely occupied by non-human beings were reclaimed by humans.

However, those non-human creatures are also intelligent beings. They will also band together and unite to resist the joint extermination efforts of human civilization.

This organization, gathered around the most powerful supernatural beings, is the Truth Society. Its leader and deputy leader are two of the four most powerful supernatural beings—Maxwell's Enchantress and Cheese's Tortoise. The Truth Society also has several high-ranking members like the Wild Hunt, who possess the strength of a demon lord. It is an extremely powerful non-human supernatural organization… Of course, there are also a small number of human traitors within the Truth Society.

Besides uniting to fight against humanity's encirclement, another major goal of the Truth Society is to reveal the existence of extraordinary power to ordinary people and let them understand the truth of the world. This is also the origin of the name Truth Society.

Over the decades, the Truth Society has successfully caused many major incidents and created numerous significant supernatural disasters around the world. Although these incidents were eventually managed to be covered up by various government agencies through various means of media manipulation, they still had some effect. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in black magic and witchcraft enthusiasts in foreign countries, and paranormal clubs in schools have become very popular.

The only country that hasn't been significantly affected by the Truth Society is the Holy Zhou Kingdom. This is because the Holy Zhou Kingdom has been managing supernatural disasters and related intelligence for 1300 years, making them experienced and always able to resolve matters before they escalate.

The failure of several high-ranking cadres prompted the Truth Society to plan a major operation. Thus, the deputy leader, Cheese No Xuan Gui, personally led a large-scale invasion of the Holy Zhou Kingdom nearly 30 years ago, along with many key members.

Fortunately, although the various extraordinary forces within the Holy Zhou Kingdom had some minor frictions and ideological differences, they were still able to unite and cooperate when fighting against external enemies... After a series of fierce battles, the Holy Zhou Kingdom emerged victorious in what could be considered the largest extraordinary war in modern times. Most of the Truth Society members who entered the Holy Zhou Kingdom were killed, and the deputy leader, Cheese No Xuan Turtle, was sealed away. For nearly 30 years afterward, the Truth Society dared not operate within the territory of the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Although the Truth Society lost that extraordinary war, they made a lot of preparations and infiltrations before the war... The cluster magic array in the Twin Dragon Pool Scenic Area is very likely one of the secret pieces that the Truth Society secretly laid out back then. It was probably defeated before it could be activated, and this time the Wild Hunt secretly infiltrated to try to reactivate it.

The process of verifying this matter was very simple. Qin Huanyu only needed to check the construction company that was responsible for developing the Shuanglongtan Scenic Area back then, and she understood.

The company was deregistered 27 years ago. The reason listed online was that the owner and his family were involved in a car accident while traveling in a campervan, and none of them survived. As a result, the company had to be dissolved.

That's the official story. The truth is definitely not like that, and it's easy to guess... That company was probably secretly infiltrated by the Truth Society, and after the Truth Society was defeated, it was discovered and purged. The boss and his family then met with a car accident, which is considered a relatively dignified way to die.

However, the company's boss was quite capable; he managed to keep the secret of the Twin Dragon Pool magic array even after it was exposed, and it wasn't discovered until today.

Such a dangerous magic circle cannot be left standing; it must be destroyed.

Under the guidance of the three experts, Qin Huanyu personally led the soldiers to first clear away the magical materials, then use electrolyte to clean off the blood-red paint used to draw the magic circle, and finally blast the cave open and then backfill it with soil.

By the time all these matters were finished, it was already two days after the Wild Hunt had been defeated. Qin Huanyu, who hadn't rested for a moment, was almost exhausted and didn't even want to ride her own motorcycle anymore. She asked the soldiers to help her get back by truck, and she herself also took a car back.

"Finally home! Time to get some rest!"

When Duanmu Ling returned to the villa in Baibo Huafu, it was morning. She was still at work in the cybersecurity department of the police station, and no one else was home.

So Qin Huanyu, who had been listless like an overtime worker, suddenly became excited and ran upstairs to the master bedroom with Yi Youyou in her arms.

With her work finished, Qin Huanyu could finally do the private things she had been wanting to do for a long time... such as properly interrogating a certain beautiful female thief.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time and had made thorough preparations.

Yi Youyou had also anticipated this day and basically understood what she would likely encounter next. So, when faced with Qin Huanyu's gaze that seemed to want to devour her, her heart raced and she felt a little scared.

"Why...why did you bring me here, Ayu? This is your room, right? My room is next door. You've worked so hard these past few days, you deserve a good rest...I'll go back to my room now and not bother you, okay?"

As Yi Youyou spoke, she deftly flipped her wrist, and the handcuffs that had kept her locked next to Qin Huanyu for almost three days fell off.
