Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

This item cannot be used in dungeons.

It seems we'll only find out what the quest is after this multiplayer instance ends.

Afterwards, Chu Zhong returned to the villa.

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...] *4

From the system records, Chu Zhong knew that while he was struggling with Gin, a new wave of bandaged men had already attacked.

The attack occurred at 2 PM, and there were a total of five people wearing bandages.

Someone who happened to encounter him pretending to be dead on the way here was dealt with by Gin.

The other four entered the villa, where they were easily dealt with by the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

The weather in the mountains grew increasingly gloomy, with dark clouds gathering and a fine drizzle beginning to fall with a rumble of thunder.

Chu Zhong felt the cool raindrops falling on the back of his hand, lost in thought...

"Lord Chu! Why are you only just getting back?"

As soon as they returned to the villa, Yuanzi quickly approached Chu Zhong, her voice full of worry: "I was gone for a whole hour. I thought you had run into some trouble. I was just about to go out and look for you."

Chu Zhong chuckled and pinched Yuanzi's cheek. "You know I'm even better than Xiaolan, so why are you worried about me?"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko looked at her best friend.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan bluntly stated: "Chu Jun's skills are very strong, but his body is very weak... and he is also sick."

They didn't give me any face at all.

What they said were all true, and Chu Zhong couldn't refute them.

"By the way, nothing happened when I left, right?"

I had to change the subject.

It was later learned that everyone had obediently stayed on the second floor for the past hour.

It was Ota Katsumi who 'cursed' him, saying something like 'If he doesn't come back soon, something might have happened,' which made Sonoko worried.

Chu Zhong glanced at Ota Katsumi, too lazy to bother with him.

If it weren't for his and the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan's help, Ota and the others would have been killed by the bandaged man long ago.

As a result, Ota Katsumi still harbored resentment because he had been taught a lesson for taking advantage of others before.

Chu Zhong felt disgusted even speaking to someone who didn't know how to repay kindness.

"Everyone is fine."

Chu Zhong glanced at everyone, said something meaningless, and then only invited Yuanzi and the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan to his room to talk and share their true discoveries.

"Tracking into the bandaged people's headquarters?" Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "That's too dangerous!"

Since this is the main base, there must be many bandaged men. Even if they know Chu Zhong is skilled, they'd still be at risk if they were surrounded...

Chu Zhong said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm just trying. I might not be able to find it. If we really encounter danger, I'll act according to the situation."

I just went out, and besides dealing with the crows that were stealing monsters, Chu Zhong also discovered an important piece of information:

—The bandaged men came to the villa in different places!

It's very likely to conceal the true location of the main base!

Based on game dungeon calculations, the main base usually contains good items... Of course, it's also possible that the bandaged man just spawns out of thin air.

"I want to go too!" Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan suddenly grabbed Chu Zhong's arm.

That's impossible, of course.

"Xiao Lan, you stay."

Chu Zhong needs the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan to protect Sonoko and Ayako at the villa, and also help with the bandage-wearing.

"..." Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, didn't say anything, but her face betrayed her thoughts as she pouted, clearly unhappy.

She acts like a child who throws a tantrum if she's not taken out to play.

Chu Zhong patted her head and couldn't help but laugh, "Sweetie, if we really find the base camp, I'll come back immediately and take you to fight monsters, okay?"

"Okay!" Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan immediately showed a bright smile, and then directly bumped into Chu Zhong's arms.

The force struck suddenly, catching Chu Zhong off guard. He was knocked onto the bed and then tasted a warm, fragrant sensation.

"Well!"

Chu Zhong glared at the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

I've told you so many times, but this little girl still loves to use sneak attacks!

He tried to use the tickling technique, but his hands were pinned down by the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan beforehand, leaving him unable to resist.

Fortunately, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan did not make any further moves. Since he could not resist, Chu Zhong decided to savor the experience.

Beside her, Sonoko looked on in astonishment: Why is Ran doing this again... forcing herself on a man...?

Could it be that you're planning to do this here...?

The thought of what she was about to witness made Sonoko's face inexplicably flush. She knew she should avoid the scene, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.

Fortunately, a little over a minute later, neither Chu Zhong nor the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had lost a single piece of clothing.

A faint smile appeared on Xiaolan's lips as she released her grip with satisfaction, like a child who had successfully stolen a piece of candy.

Chu Zhong, now free, immediately grabbed Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, who was about to get up, and whispered, somewhat annoyed:

"I told you not to sneak attack! But you wouldn't listen!"

"And the garden is right next door, you..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the garden isn't an outsider, so what's the big deal?"

"At worst, we can go together..."

Chu Zhong covered up what was to come.

Although this kind of thing has happened a lot in dungeons, the problem is that the dungeon garden is not the same as this garden!

If Chi Xiaolan didn't control her volume, Sonoko would naturally hear it.

This immediately left Sonoko somewhat flustered. "Little Ran, what do you mean?!"

"Ahem..." Chu Zhong hurriedly explained, "Xiao Lan means... if you get bored later, we can play cards together."

Of course, Sonoko isn't stupid; she's unlikely to be fooled by such an excuse. In fact, she's very good at making connections to these kinds of things.

Chu Zhong only hoped that the memory residue from the multiplayer dungeon would be minimal, so that Sonoko wouldn't realize the existence of 'Martial Arts Fanatic Ran'... or be scared away.

"..." Sonoko's face turned even redder, her temperature rising as if it were about to bleed. Her fists clenched tightly and trembled slightly, as if she was trying to endure something.

Chu Zhong sensed that the garden was somewhat agitated, so he quickly said, "Ahem, I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."

After all, a girl like Sonoko, who is obsessed with romance and is experiencing love for the first time, must yearn for a lifelong, monogamous love.

Not just Sonoko, Ran must feel the same way.

Revealing the plan too quickly will definitely cause problems...

Chu Zhong hurriedly pulled the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan away.

Chapter 97 Sonoko really did force herself on the king!

"Xiaolan, if you keep disobeying me, don't blame me for canceling our agreement!"

After General Chu dragged the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan back to her room, he put on a stern face.

"But that... feels so good..." Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, said innocently, "I just think about it when I'm happy... Besides, you didn't resist!"

Chu Zhong was speechless. Was he trying not to resist? His hands were being held down, and he simply didn't have the strength!

It's impossible to waste magic power to freeze the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

"Stop bringing up other things, disobedience is disobedience!"

Chu Zhong seized on the key point of the topic, "If there's a next time... I'll never let you near me again!"

He also knew that Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, would become a gluttonous child who would think of sneaking snacks whenever she had the chance, and he was partly responsible for that.

"..." Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, couldn't hide her feelings at all. When she learned that she could no longer feel that pleasant, warm and comfortable contact, she immediately became a little unhappy.

Chu Zhong held Xiao Lan's hand and said softly, "But as long as you listen to me, tell me before you do anything. I won't refuse contact like we just had."

"do you understand?"

As he spoke, Chu Zhong lowered his head and moved closer.

"Mmm!" Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan suddenly became full of energy, responded, and stood on tiptoe to greet him eagerly.

After a skilled and passionate deep kiss, Chu Zhong released the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

As a result, she hugged him instead, and he couldn't distance himself from her.

"Husband~ I want to..." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"No!" Chu Zhong said without hesitation.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan said discontentedly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't refuse? You're lying!"

"I never said I would agree to research weapons!"

"That……"

"Neither!"

"I haven't even said what it is yet!"

"In short, that's enough for today!" Chu Zhong gave the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan no room for negotiation. "We can talk about other things next time."

After all, real-life contact is far more attractive than in-game interactions. Kissing and hugging is one thing, but if you do anything else, you might unknowingly be devoured by the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

Before fully understanding the extent of the lingering effects of the multiplayer dungeon mode, Chu Zhong should refrain from taking any rash actions to avoid harming the real Xiao Lan.

"Alright, you stay with Sonoko, I need to rest for a while."

As Chu Zhong spoke, he pulled the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan towards the door, repeatedly instructing her, "Remember, you must never reveal anything about the research..."

As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by that familiar soft fragrance.

Sonoko, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was caught red-handed once again.

"Xiao Lan and I just exchanged a few words." Chu Zhong immediately guessed that Yuanzi must have misunderstood something because of what the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had said earlier.

Then, holding one in each hand, he shoved the two best friends into the next room.

After that, Chu Zhong found Ota, Kakutani, Chikako, and Takahashi.

Have them form pairs and take turns guarding the second-floor stairwell and observing the situation before the bandaged man arrives.

"The bandaged man only arrives on the hour, what's the point of doing this?!"

Ota Masaru was the first to raise a question.

This time, Chu Zhong spoke frankly: "I'm afraid that some people have ulterior motives and will deliberately make trouble, causing everyone to be buried with them."

"What do you mean?!" Ota Masaru shouted in response.

Chu Zhong didn't reply, but looked at the remaining three people. "Xiao Lan is in charge of dealing with the dangerous bandaged man. You all take turns keeping watch."

"It's all for everyone's safety. This request shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Kakutani, Chikako, and Takahashi immediately nodded.

Unlike Ota Masaru, the three of them had no grudges against Chu Zhong, and they weren't fools either. They knew that they would still have to rely on Mouri Ran for protection.

As long as the bandages are cleaned up every hour on the hour, there will be no other dangers.

Seeing that the other three agreed, Chu Zhong said no more.
