Story Role / Major Arcs
Body Tempering Fluid Investigation
Qin Bing enters Tianhai Third High School while investigating stolen Body Tempering Fluid. She singles out Lin Xiao after observing him ingest a full bottle without suffering the expected consequences, then warns him that the Ninth Division will continue monitoring him. 17 18
Factory Rescue and Detention
She arrives with the Ninth Division after the abandoned-factory explosion and finds Lin Xiao barely alive. Qin Bing orders immediate life-saving treatment, recognizes the Shadow Alliance’s involvement, and has Lin Xiao held at a Ninth Division safe house while his connection to the incident is investigated. 20 21
Escalating Suspicion
After Lin Xiao’s rapid recovery, Qin Bing confronts him over the factory explosion and another Body Tempering Fluid theft. She outlines the suspicious events surrounding him but cannot produce direct evidence, so she continues her investigation. 28
Lin Xiao later notices an encrypted signal from Qin Bing’s wrist device whose energy characteristics show a faint, incomplete similarity to residual Shadow Alliance markings. This raises his suspicion of a possible connection, though the communication’s content cannot be analyzed. 28 29
Viper Incident and Safe-House Interrogation
Qin Bing saves Lin Xiao from Viper’s poisoned attack, identifies the toxin as Viper’s Kiss, and orders treatment while coordinating a hunt for the assassin. 32 She subsequently interrogates Lin Xiao using surveillance evidence, while the Ninth Division’s “safe house” functions as a tightly monitored observation room. 33
World-Erosion Contamination Response
When World-Erosion Contaminated beings approach the safe house, Qin Bing interrupts her interrogation of Lin Xiao to command the response. She deploys with a specialized short sword and directs the containment operation. 34
Conflict with the Ye Family
Qin Bing later traces Lin Xiao to a Ye family medical facility and aggressively questions him about a violent old-city incident. Ye Qingyan blocks the interrogation, while Su Qingxue’s presence prevents Qin Bing from forcibly taking Lin Xiao; Qin Bing leaves after warning that the Ninth Division remains on his case. 46
