Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"What Lord Chu said makes sense."

Sonoko bluntly said, "Sis, none of your classmates are reliable. They either have character issues, conduct issues, or they're just cowards."

"If we really encounter danger, they'll definitely be the first to abandon you and run away."

"..." Even though Ayako wanted to say a few words in defense of her former classmates, recalling what had happened after arriving at the villa, she could only sigh in the end: "They weren't like this before..."

Sonoko patted her sister on the shoulder and comforted her, "People change, you know~ It's a good thing to see things clearly as soon as possible."

At 12:55,

There were only five minutes left until 1 p.m.

Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan stood at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, waiting for the bandaged man to arrive.

The rest of the people left the room and stood by the second-floor railing, looking down at the situation.

"How about... we block the stairwell on the second floor with a sofa?" Ota Masaru suddenly suggested.

Sonoko retorted irritably, "What do you mean?!"

"I'm thinking about everyone's safety!" Ota Katsumi said matter-of-factly. "If all four monsters come at once and they can't hold them off, and one of them manages to get up there, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

Sonoko scoffed, "The stairs are so narrow, only two people can stand at a time. How could there possibly be a gap for a monster to run upstairs?!"

"If we really block the stairs, Chu Jun and Xiao Lan won't have any room to retreat, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?!"

While the two were arguing.

“Ota is right,” Chikako Ikeda suddenly said, “but it’s just in case.”

Takahashi also said, "Miss Ran is highly skilled in martial arts, so there's definitely no need to worry. We're just doing this to protect ourselves."

Kakutani remained silent and offered no objection.

Sonoko was trembling with anger: "You lot! Chu Jun and Xiao Lan did all that to protect you..."

"Time is almost up." Chu Zhong walked up to the second floor and said to Ota and the others, "If you're going to move the sofas, hurry up."

After saying that, he took Yuanzi's hand and led her to the end of the second-floor corridor.

Sonoko looked resentful: "Lord Chu, listen to what they just said... um..."

The passionate kiss made Sonoko's breath hot.

“Getting angry makes you ugly.” After a long while, Chu Zhong released her and said softly, “I don’t want to ruin Miss Suzuki’s beauty because of some unnecessary people.”

"Don't worry, Ran and I will be fine. Just take good care of yourselves and Miss Ayako."

"Mmm~" Sonoko responded softly, like a cat whose fur had been soothed after being ruffled.

With one minute left until 1 p.m., the sofa in the first-floor living room was moved to the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Perhaps because their own lives were at stake, this time, Ota, Kakutani, Takahashi, and Chikako were more united than ever before, working together as one.

Ayako stood on the second-floor railing, her expression complex, scanning her former classmates and fellow film enthusiasts.

3...2...1

It arrived at exactly 1 p.m.!

But after waiting for a full minute, two minutes, three minutes, there was still no sign of the person with the bandage.

"Looks like someone guessed wrong; those monsters were dealt with just now!"

Ota Katsu said smugly, "You wasted time moving things and made yourself all nervous. You were just scaring yourself."

Chu Zhong ignored Ota Katsu, who was acting like a smug little man.

Because the bandaged man has arrived, but... he went to the crows' side.

To be precise, the crows that were originally lying in wait quietly deliberately ran around in the woods one minute before 1 p.m., and now they have returned to stillness.

Presumably, that crow possessed remarkable close-combat skills, managing to take down all four bandaged men.

"The bandaged man may have gone into hiding."

Chu Zhong instructed, "Xiao Lan, you stay here and guard the stairs. I'll go outside and search for anyone wearing bandages."

These people don't need to know about the crows.

After saying that, Chu Zhong turned and left the villa, then wandered aimlessly through the wooded area where crows hid, as if he were lost.

By chance, I discovered four wooden axes and green bandages on the muddy ground next to a large tree, which further confirmed my suspicions.

Those wretched crows... they deliberately stole my monster!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhong felt dissatisfied.

Then, less than ten meters from the crow's scent, he pretended to walk towards the villa... and then fainted.

Not far away, on a tall tree,

A black crow, hidden in the dense canopy, cast a cold glance at Chu Zhong, who had suddenly collapsed without warning.

One minute, two minutes... five minutes... ten minutes...

Chu Zhong, who had fallen to the ground, showed no intention of getting up, and the crows in the tree did not move closer.

Twenty minutes... thirty minutes...

The suspicion in the crow's cold gaze gradually dissipated.

Forty minutes... fifty minutes...

The crow seemed to be getting impatient and was about to climb down the tree, but halfway down, it went back up.

It was exactly 2 PM.

A green figure wielding an axe appeared in the woods. On the way to the villa, he accidentally discovered Chu Zhong lying on the ground not far away.

The bandaged man strode closer, raised his large axe, and brought it down fiercely.

Chu Zhong remained unresponsive as he lay on the ground.

The crows in the trees stared intently at what was happening.

If it's all an act, then this...

The next second, the bandaged man's axe struck Chu Zhong directly in the heart!

clang--!

A metallic clang rang out.

Chu Zhong lay on the ground, completely unharmed.

On the contrary, the wooden axe in the bandaged man's hand had a small chip broken off.

The bandaged man seemed bewildered by the situation, paused for a moment, but quickly raised his axe and chopped down.

Ding——! Ding——! Ding——!

But the result was still the same; several blows of the axe failed to cause any damage.

Just as the bandaged man raised his axe, ready to continue his attack.

A black figure silently appeared behind, kicked the bandaged man to the ground, caught up, and snapped the bandaged man's head off with a 'crack'.

After easily dealing with the bandaged man, the black crow immediately approached Chu Zhong, and then...

Then the crow fell still.

Current mana: 125

"It was Gin, it was actually Gin..."

Chu Zhong opened his eyes only after the immobilization technique was applied.

No wonder this crow is so patient and suspicious; it turns out it's the distillery's number one killer and workaholic.

Fortunately, he had the high defense protection of the Golden Body Set, and the wooden axe in the bandaged man's hand could not break through his defense at all.

After all, the bandaged man is just a minor monster in a boss-level difficulty dungeon.

Gin was hiding in a tree, and Chu Zhong couldn't climb the tree in front of him, so he had to resort to this strange trick of playing dead to lure him down.

The immobilization spell can only last for ten seconds against a demon king-level being.

"We don't know how much memory remains from the multiplayer instance, so we have to handle it carefully..."

Chu Zhong muttered something to himself and quickly picked up the axe from the ground.

Current mana: 100

He raised his hand and cast another immobilization spell.

He then raised the axe and struck Gin repeatedly on the back of the neck with the broad back of the axe.

After striking him about seven or eight times, Chu Zhong threw away the axe, lay back down in his original position, and closed his eyes.

The faint golden light that had bound Gin completely dissipated.

The effects of the [Damage Delay] mode have also officially taken effect.

Gin acted as if nothing had happened, continuing the actions he had before being immobilized, reaching out towards Chu Zhong as if to check why he was unharmed despite being struck by an axe.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Before the examination could reveal anything, Gin suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.

Gin nearly fainted from a violent attack on his carotid artery, and his killer instincts compelled him to bite his tongue hard.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of clarity brought on by the excruciating pain, Gin immediately rolled forward, creating distance as he drew his gun and aimed at the attacker's original position...

air.

Gin saw only air, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he realized something was wrong.

Before he could turn his head, he was struck again in the same spot on the back of his neck.

Gin struggled to stay upright, but his hands and feet were too weak to move. His eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't understand what kind of being could suddenly sneak up behind him and launch a surprise attack.

Soon, another heavy blow landed on the back of his neck.

Gin could no longer hold on and fainted. The last thing he saw was Chu Zhong still lying on the ground.

Could it be that……

He was also...

A sneak attack to knock him unconscious...

Chapter 96 The Distillery's Secret Order: Let's Play Poker

Now, Chu Zhong no longer worries about having his monsters stolen.

Even a demon king-level being is still using a physical body. If they take a few hits to their vital points, they will either die or be knocked unconscious.

Chu Zhong immediately stepped forward and gave him a severe beating.

The main purpose is to stretch the body and improve blood circulation.

It was definitely not because he was being followed and needed to be constantly vigilant and fearful, so he took the opportunity to vent his anger.

Unfortunately, Chu Zhong hadn't had his fill of beating Gin before Gin's body, along with his clothes, turned into particles and dissipated.

[Defeat Demon King-level Gin, gain 3600 experience points and 3900 spirit essence]

I didn't expect to receive experience and spiritual energy as well, which was a pleasant surprise.

Although it wasn't much, it made up for the loss of five bandaged men that Gin had eliminated.

Chu Zhong was curious about this hidden quest and immediately tried to activate it.
