Background / History

Qi Lin served as a patrol officer in Juxia City’s Feiliu District. During the initial alien incident, she encountered Long Qian after his building appeared and vanished on the ring road. She pulled him from danger, urged him to flee toward the city, and later shielded him from a Taotie attack, suffering a severe laser wound herself. 1 2

She woke in Juxia City People’s Hospital after surviving the injury. Lianfeng identified her as the previously unlisted inheritor of the Divine River Civilization’s first-generation Shenhe Sniper Super Gene. Grieving the loss of her fellow officers, Qi Lin nevertheless recounted the incident, sketched Long Qian from memory, and withheld only the details he had told her because she wanted to verify them herself. 7 8

When invited to join the Super Seminary’s classified unit under the National Security Bureau, Qi Lin accepted immediately, regarding protection of the country and its people as her duty. She later joined Xiong Bing Lian and received Dark Alloy Black Armor. 8 25
