Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Click——

A short while later, the door opened a little from the inside, and Eri Kisaki, dressed in a business suit with her long hair tied back, appeared before them:

"Excuse me, is it ..."

When Eri saw the two people, one big and one small, who suddenly appeared, she was stunned for a few seconds.

Chu Zhong glanced into the office through the half-open door.

At this time, Eri Kisaki's office was very cramped, only half the size of Mori's office.

In the cramped space, a woman sat on a single sofa, her face full of worry... clearly Eri Kisaki's client.

"Mom~!"

Little Ran cheered and hugged Eri's leg, bringing the latter back to her senses.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming..."

Eri gently stroked Ran's head, said something tenderly, and walked out of the office, leaving the half-open door slightly ajar. Facing Chu Zhong, she asked in a cold tone, "What do you want?"

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Chu Zhong, filled with undisguised dissatisfaction.

Chu Zhong immediately sensed that the situation was not good, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Eri, I came here... I brought you a gift."

He pretended to grab something from behind his back with his right hand and took out a "heart-shaped chocolate" from his inventory.

This chocolate tastes about 80% similar to the one Eri Kisaki likes, so it should be able to fool her.

"It's a heart!" Little Lan chimed in from the side, "It represents Daddy's love for Mommy!"

Unexpectedly, upon seeing the chocolate, Eri's expression darkened further, and she scoffed, "You only remember now?"

This really surprised Chu Zhong, who couldn't understand why the real-life Eri Kisaki liked chocolate, but the one in the alternate universe hated it.

and……

"Remember...what?" Chu Zhong asked cautiously, not understanding what 'he' had forgotten.

Eri Kisaki immediately snorted coldly, "Looks like you still haven't remembered!"

"I'm still working, I don't have time to waste with you... Xiaolan, let's go play somewhere else with Daddy."

As she spoke, Eri gently pushed Ran's hands away.

"Mom!" Sensing that something was wrong, Xiao Lan said anxiously, "Daddy came to apologize, Mommy, please don't be angry, okay?"

As she spoke, Xiao Xiaolan turned around and frantically gave Chu Zhong meaningful glances.

Even though Chu Zhong had no idea what he had done wrong, he could only go along with Xiao Xiao Lan's words and say, "Eri, I was wrong..."

"Stop pretending!" Eri interrupted bluntly. "I don't think you know where you went wrong at all, otherwise you wouldn't have left the ring on!"

Ah this...

Chu Zhong hurriedly looked at Fei Yingli's hand and saw that she did indeed have a ring, while his own hand was empty.

He did have a ring before, and after the Ice and Snow instance, the ring's description changed, clearly stating that it was the thing Eri Kisaki cared about most.

However, the ring was already consumed when Xiaolan's hidden dungeon was opened last time.

I didn't expect to need it in this dungeon...

"Dad just... just hid the ring!"

Little Lan quickly explained, "The more precious something is, the more afraid you are of losing it. Dad must have thought the same thing, so he kept it at home~"

Now Chu Zhong understood why the addition of 'Xiao Lan' actually increased the difficulty of the dungeon.

It's obvious that Little Ran is here to help, and she has some of the mature thinking of the real Ran, so what she says is more useful and can ease the conflict.

"Precious? Ha~"

Eri chuckled, seemingly mocking Chu Zhong, but also herself, "I was such a fool to think you were him..."

Without saying anything more, he turned and walked into the firm.

"and many more!"

Chu Zhong grabbed Fei Yingli's hand.

Eri Kisaki turned around, her expression full of impatience: "I don't have time for you..."

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because in Chu Zhong's palm, a ring lay quietly.

“Eri, I’m afraid I’ll lose this ring, so I’ve been keeping it in my wallet…”

Chu Zhong quickly made up an excuse.

The situation was urgent, and Chu Zhong subconsciously checked his inventory, hoping to find something that could help.

Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, I discovered the ring that should have been 'used up'.

"Wedding rings": The items that Eri Kisaki cares about most.

The description about unlocking the hidden dungeon has disappeared, leaving only a simple yet significant line of explanation.

"So what...?"

Eri Kisaki's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained cold. "You still haven't remembered."

"I'll remember!" Chu Zhong seized the opportunity to ask, "Eri, please give me a hint."

Chu Zhong realized that in this scenario, he wasn't playing 'Kogoro Mouri', but rather Eri Kisaki's 'husband' and Ran's 'father'.

So the reason for Eri's separation changed because he joined the story... It seems he forgot something very important.

Since this instance is related to his experiences and memories, as long as Eri Kisaki gives him a hint, there is a chance!

"..."

Eri Kisaki was silent for a few seconds before finally saying coldly, "Snow Mountain, car accident. Go back and think about it slowly. I'm very busy with work today..."

After saying that, Eri Kisaki turned around and headed back to her office.

But she was pulled back again.

"let go!"

Eri Kisaki turned around, her brows furrowing slightly.

Chu Zhong couldn't help but reveal a confident smile, "Eri, I remember now!"

"Don't even think about lying to me again!" Eri Kisaki said, somewhat annoyed. "You said the same thing before!"

At the same time, Chu Zhong's clothes were tugged by Xiao Xiao Lan.

Little Lan pointed to her own lips, her eyes flashing with a frantic hint that 'Dad' should take action instead of explaining.

Little did they know, Chu Zhong already had victory in his grasp and had no need to take such a risky step.

If it's really as he thinks, then this hellish difficulty level doesn't seem so hard after all...

"Eri, I really remember now."

Chu Zhong said softly, "It was that severe cold and fever that caused me to lose some of my memory after I regained consciousness..."

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki's expression froze instantly, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Chu Zhong knew that this one sentence alone was not enough to completely convince Eri, so he continued:

"On the night of the car accident, we were sitting in the back seat, in complete darkness. When you woke up, Eri, you doubted that everything was real, and even said that I was just a figment of your imagination..."

Before Chu Zhong could finish speaking, Fei Yingli's surprise and doubt turned into joy, and she threw herself into his arms.

"Great! You finally, finally remembered!"

Eri hugged him tightly, her voice trembling, "You really are Chu Jun! I knew it..."

As they spoke, they eagerly moved closer.

Chu Zhong understood, lowered his head slightly, and kissed Eri passionately.

He secretly rejoiced:

I never imagined that Eri Kisaki in this hidden instance would share the same memories as Eri Kisaki in the Ice and Snow instance...

Thankfully, there was that wedding ring. With just a 'memory', Eri Kisaki immediately forgave him, turning the hellish difficulty into a beginner's level.

"That's great!"

Little Lan, seeing this, beamed with joy and clapped her hands, exclaiming, "Mommy and Daddy are together again!"

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chu Zhong's mind:

[One of the mission objectives has been achieved: Obtain Eri's forgiveness]

Current task progress: 50%

Looking at the mission countdown again, there are still two hours and forty minutes left.

It seems that this time, I can finally have some sweet moments with Eri in the dungeon!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhong's hand climbed up Fei Yingli's waist and slipped inside her clothes...

Then Eri gently pushed her away, "Ran's still here... Let's go home..."

"Xiaolan, you and Dad wait at the door for a while, Mom will take care of a client... soon."

After saying that, Eri Kisaki hurriedly turned around and went into the office.

With more than two hours to go, Chu Zhong wasn't in a hurry.

While waiting at the door, he began to think about how to complete the remaining task—'gaining Ran Mouri's approval'.

So Chu Zhong half-squatted down in front of Xiao Lan and said with a smile, "Xiao Lan, Daddy has already coaxed Mommy. Do you have any other wishes?"

"Yes!" Little Lan jumped into Chu Zhong's arms, resting her head on his shoulder, and let out a silvery laugh: "Little Lan wants to be with Mommy and Daddy forever!"

Ah this...

Chu Zhong was caught off guard by the answer.

With only two hours left in the instance, how could it possibly last 'forever'?

Chapter 123 A big meal is needed to satisfy my craving.

Chu Zhong continued to ponder.

Children speak without thinking; the "forever" that little Lan speaks of may simply be her longing for a happy and harmonious family...

In other words, as long as he shows a good enough relationship with Eri Kisaki, he should be able to gain Ran's 'approval'.

Chu Zhong and Xiao Xiao Lan waited at the door for less than two minutes.

The office door was pushed open, and the woman who had been sitting on the sofa just moments before came out with a worried expression.

Eri Kisaki said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, please contact Attorney Nishimoto. She's very knowledgeable about divorce cases..."

The woman glanced at Chu and Xiao Lan standing in the doorway, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. She said in a 'regretful' tone, "Attorney Fei, for a lawyer as excellent as you to give up your career and return to family life is truly..."

Eri Kisaki interrupted coldly, "This is my family matter! There's no need to say more."

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly left in a huff.

"Is Mom really coming home?!"

Little Lan exclaimed with delight, "Does that mean I can see my mom every day?!"

“Yes~” Eri looked at Ran with affection and gently stroked her cute little head.

Chu Zhong couldn't help but say, "Actually, Yingli, you don't have to give up your career."

A hint of confusion flashed in Eri's eyes: "Does Chu-kun... dislike that I'm not good at housework?"

The listener even felt a little aggrieved.

She completely transformed into a demure, feminine woman.

“What I mean is…” Chu Zhong smiled and gently put his arm around Fei Yingli’s waist: “From now on, I will take care of Xiao Lan and do the housework. Yingli, you can continue to develop your legal career.”
