Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Ota Katsumi still let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Although his head was saved, part of the axe blade still hit his shoulder. The fear and pain made Ota Masaru's screams particularly pitiful.

At this moment, the second bandaged man arrived and was about to attack with his axe.

Conan immediately knelt down on one knee, touched his ankle, and his expression changed: "Oh no! I took off my sneakers when I changed my pants..."

Fortunately, before the second bandaged man's axe could fall, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan rushed back from the doorway and quickly dealt with both bandaged men.

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

Chu Zhong listened to the system notification and narrowed his eyes slightly.

They even know how to lure the tiger away from the mountain... These bandaged people seem to have brains.

It's also possible that... someone is directing the bandaged people!

Chu Zhong glanced out of the corner of his eye at the short, chubby, and seemingly harmless Takahashi Ryoichi.

As the culprit in the case in the original work, Ryoichi Takahashi is undoubtedly the prime suspect.

However, Ryoichi Takahashi stayed with the others almost the entire time...

Where did the bandaged man come from?

Is it a random refresh, or is there a monster lair?

Chapter 94 Mutual Self-Destruction, the More the Merrier

The bandaged man was eliminated once again.

"Ah! Help me! Pull this axe out!"

The living room was filled with Ota Masaru's screams.

Everyone rushed forward to help the fallen Chikako Ikeda to her feet and check on Masaru Ota's condition.

It was discovered that only a small portion of the axe blade had struck Ota Masaru, leaving a cut less than one centimeter deep beside his shoulder.

After the axe was removed, the amount of blood flowing was quite frightening.

A faint smell of blood spread.

"Hurry! Stop the bleeding!"

Ota Katsu shouted in a high-pitched, almost screaming tone, "Where's the first-aid kit? Why didn't you look for the first-aid kit before pulling out the axe!"

He was the one who urged people to pull out the axe, and he was also the one who blamed others for pulling out the axe too quickly.

"If this keeps up, I'm going to bleed to death!" Ota Masaru's shouts were ear-piercing.

Ayako frantically searched for a first-aid kit in the villa.

Chu Zhong then pointed to something on the floor, “A ready-made bandage.”

It was left behind after the bandaged person disappeared.

"That thing is filthy! It's trying to kill me?!"

Ota Katsu covered his wound with his hand, his eyes fierce.

“The bandage looks clean, so we don’t need to use it,” Chu Zhong said casually.

Mainly out of curiosity, this bandage looks exactly the same as the fallen "healing bandage".

I wonder if it also has the effect of accelerating wound healing.

"Ayako! Why haven't we found the first-aid kit yet! Hurry up!!!"

Ota Masaru urged him loudly every few seconds, while the blood on his shoulder flowed more and more, staining half of his shirt red.

"I can't take it anymore! My head is so dizzy!!"

Less than half a minute later, Ota Masaru could no longer bear the fear of continuous bleeding. He picked up a green bandage next to him, chose the cleanest-looking section, overlapped it, and pressed it onto the wound.

The green bandage quickly absorbed some of the blood, and the bleeding stopped in less than half a minute.

Seeing this, Chu Zhong got the result he had guessed.

The bandage was surprisingly effective without the aid of hemostatic drugs.

Clearly, the bandages left by the green-bandaged man have the same effect as "healing bandages".

Unfortunately, I can't put it into my inventory.

"The first aid kit has been found!"

At this moment, Ayako returned to the living room and saw that the bleeding had stopped. The green bandage was stuck to the wound and could not be forcibly torn off, so she used a regular white bandage to help bandage the wound.

"Chika! Who have you messed with?!"

While receiving bandages, Ota Katsumi shouted resentfully, "Being chased is bad enough, but I almost got killed!"

All eyes turned to Chikako Ikeda.

"What does this have to do with me?!"

Chikako Ikeda was so frightened by what she had just experienced that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up properly after being helped up. She is now sitting in a chair.

"They chased after you and tried to kill you, and you still say it's okay!"

"Ota, are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that the bandaged man targeted children first?!"

"You idiot who's been ridden by a thousand men! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"Bitch? You scumbag who eats, drinks, gambles, and whores, what right do you have to talk to me like that?!"

Ota Masaru and Ikeda Chikako started hurling insults at each other.

But soon, Ota Masaru ended the verbal battle due to blood loss, lack of energy, and dizziness.

However, the brief war of words still provided everyone with a lot of gossip.

For example, the pet names that Masaru Ota and Chikako Ikeda use for each other.

"Indiscriminate killing? But there were two before, now three... There are just too many attackers..."

Conan spoke up, steer the conversation back to the bandaged man, and asked everyone if they had any enemies.

Everyone shook their heads, then wondered if it was a kidnapping and murder plot targeting the two daughters of the Suzuki Group.

But how could the copy mechanism be understood by the average detective?

Chu Zhong did not participate in the discussion, but secretly pondered how to clear this instance.

Ideally, we should hold on until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

Chu Zhong didn't want the instance to end too quickly.

On the one hand, just opening a multiplayer dungeon consumes 3000 spirit essence.

It is now almost certain that there will be attacks by bandaged men every hour on the hour, and the number of them is increasing.

Each time you defeat a bandaged man, you'll receive a reward of 240 experience points and 260 spirit essence points, so naturally, the more the better.

On the other hand, the bandaged man was clearly not a monster whose mind was only filled with killing. He split into two groups, lured the enemy away from the mountain, and launched a sneak attack from behind.

As the number of people wearing bandages increases and night approaches, it will likely take some effort to tough it out...

And... where did that bandaged man he saw when he crossed the bridge with the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan go?

"Lord Chu, what do you think?"

Sonoko's voice suddenly rang out beside Chu Zhong, pulling him back to reality.

“I think…” Chu Zhong thought for a moment, “No matter what, everyone should go back to the second floor, it’s safer there.”

He then explained the pattern that the first two attacks both occurred on the hour.

It is noon now.

Based on this, the next wave is expected to be at 1 PM, consisting of four people wearing bandages.

"If we retreat to the second floor, the monster will block our doorway, leaving us with no way to escape. Aren't we just waiting to die?!"

Ota Katsu immediately objected.

Chu Zhong ignored him and simply said, "Xiao Lan and I will guard the stairs; they won't be able to get to the second floor."

What a joke! A bandaged person is equivalent to experience, spiritual energy, and items. Even if others wanted to help, Chu Zhong wouldn't be willing.

“Mr. Ota,” Sonoko said mockingly, “if you’re so unwilling, you can stay on the first floor… or come up with a better solution?”

The others also turned their gazes toward Ota Katsumi.

"..."

The latter naturally couldn't utter a single word, gritted his teeth, lowered his head, looked at the floor, and clenched his fists tightly.

Kakutani then spoke up, "Ota, go back to your room and rest to recover."

Ayako added, "That's right, Ota just lost a lot of blood, so it's better for him to lie down."

Everyone could see that Ota Masaru's deliberately provocative words were nothing short of humiliating in the face of Chu Zhong's goodwill.

It's important to know that Chu Zhong and Xiao Lan will be the main force in resisting the bandaged men's attacks.

Leaving an injured Ota Masaru on the first floor would not only be of no help, but might also undermine unity.

"Tch..." Ota Masaru snorted lightly, but didn't argue back. He took the steps that were offered to him and went back to the second floor.

The rest of the people set about moving food, water, and any other useful supplies to a specific room on the second floor.

Before planning their visit to the villa, both Sonoko and Ayako had their housekeeper send people to deliver supplies in advance.

Therefore, there is plenty of food in the villa now, and everyone can eat as much as they want for three or four days without any problem.

What Chu Zhong found outrageous was that this villa, located deep in the mountains, actually had running water and electricity.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to marvel at how outrageous the world of Detective Conan was, or at how incredibly wealthy the Suzuki Foundation was.

At 12:40, almost everything useful on the first floor was moved to the second floor.

Everyone returned to their rooms and waited for 1 p.m.

Chu Zhong then called the martial arts fanatics Xiao Lan, Yuanzi, and Aya to the same room to talk and remind them of some things.

Chapter 95: Stealing monsters comes at a price.

"Try not to stay with Ota, Chikako, Kakutani, and Takahashi?"

Ayako's expression was somewhat complicated. "Ku-kun, I know you and Ota have had some minor disagreements, but..."

Chu Zhong waved his hand to interrupt, "This has nothing to do with personal grudges, it's just that I feel they have some issues with their character and conduct."

As for Masaru Ota and Chikako Ikeda, they've already exposed each other during their arguments.

As the original culprit, Takahashi is the most suspicious character.

As for Kakutani, he seems normal enough, but he's definitely unreliable if something really happens, as you can see from his reaction when he was attacked by the bandaged man.

When the dungeon opens, the system specifically reminds players that if a 'specific character' dies in the dungeon, they will actually die.

Chu Zhong didn't care whether Ota and the others would die, since death was something that happened every day in the world of Detective Conan.

Ayako is Sonoko's older sister, so she should be taken care of.

"Miss Ayako, if you're going anywhere, try to travel with Sonoko and Ran."

Chu Zhong repeatedly gave instructions.

The safest method would be to cut down the stairs, completely cutting off the bandaged person's way upstairs.

Unfortunately, the bathroom was only built on the first floor of the villa.

In Chu Zhong's view, the bandaged man was not particularly dangerous, far from the point where it was necessary to cut down the stairs and make the second floor stink.
