Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

It seems that after being followed last time, Vermouth became more cautious, abandoned her fake identity as the school doctor, disguised herself as a cleaner, and infiltrated the school to continue her investigation.

I finally get to meet Vermouth again! Don't miss this opportunity!

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Boss-level Vermouth Dungeon activated]

[Instance scenario under construction...]

As the notification sound rang, the light on the first floor of the teaching building gradually dimmed and became colorful.

Shoe cabinets originally used to store students' personal belongings have been transformed into shelves filled with various types of liquor or long bar counters.

Two bartenders stood behind the bar, their cocktail shakers flashing as they mixed colorful cocktails for the chatting guests.

This is a cocktail party.

In the open space, the guests were dressed in a variety of styles, some formal, some casual, and some even in swimwear. They sat in groups of three or five or alone at a table.

This made Chu Zhong's attire seem quite normal.

[Mission Objective: Locate the three people disguised by Vermouth within 20 minutes]

[Current remaining number of identification attempts: 3]

Chu Zhong glanced at the people present; there were at least forty or fifty of them.

There were not only customers, but also bartenders, waiters, security guards, cleaning staff...

As for Vermouth? Her whereabouts are unknown; perhaps she disguised herself and blended in with the guests.

Chu Zhong didn't know anything about disguise techniques.

Finding three disguised individuals among so many people within 20 minutes is no easy task.

There is no room for error; only three opportunities are given to identify the wrong person.

It's easy to imagine that the more errors are pointed out, the lower the rating will be in the settlement.

Last time, Chu Zhong made three mistakes in a row and was kicked out by the security guards on the grounds of causing trouble. He didn't even pass the first level, and the instance automatically closed.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong came up with a solution.

Having finally caught Vermouth again, I finally have a chance to try and see if my method works!

At that moment, Chu Zhong took out a "Bewitching Cigarette" from his inventory.

"Bewitching Incense": Boosts the morale and concentration of allies, while reducing the concentration of enemies.

He then went to the bar and borrowed a lighter from a customer.

After lighting it, walk to a corner and take a puff.

Compared to cigarettes that cause lung burn, the taste of Mixian cigarettes is not as strong.

But it can still exhale a large amount of pungent, eye-irritating white smoke.

Chu Zhong slowly took a deep breath and exhaled—

"Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—"

Suddenly, as if a smoke bomb had been thrown, thick white smoke began to spread everywhere, causing the guests nearby to cough repeatedly.

This effect applies to 'non-teammates'.

Surrounded by smoke, Chu Zhong felt invigorated, and his thoughts seemed clearer.

Continue to produce smoke.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough—"

Within two minutes, the entire cocktail party venue was enveloped in white smoke, and coughing filled the air...

Chapter 127 Moonlit Gunfight, Crushing the Witch

"Cough cough cough..."

Everyone inside the party venue was choked by the thick, pungent white smoke, coughing incessantly and unable to even see what was around them.

The security guard quickly opened the gate to ventilate and disperse the white smoke.

Two minutes later, the white smoke gradually dissipated.

Chu Zhong immediately observed everyone present one by one.

Three prime suspects were quickly identified.

Due to the pungent and eye-irritating properties of white smoke, even normal people will experience redness in their eyes and nose, and may even cough and tear up.

These three people, despite crying and coughing, looked completely unaffected.

This exposes the biggest problem with disguise: facial expressions cannot be influenced by emotions.

Redness around the eyes and nose requires mobilizing a large number of capillaries under the skin, while a disguise mask is just a layer of dead skin and cannot be changed at any time.

[Identification successful! Item obtained: Disposable Disguise Mask]

[Identification successful! Item obtained: Disposable Disguise Mask]

[Identification successful! Item obtained: Disposable Disguise Mask]

Chu Zhong seized the opportunity and quickly identified three people. For each successful identification, he received a disguise mask.

When Chu Zhong pointed out the last woman in a swimsuit who was in disguise, she tore off her mask, revealing her true face, and jumped back:

"You've got some skill, actually managing to see through my disguise using this method!"

Vermouth smiled knowingly: "Since you've ruined the lady's secret, you'll stay here forever..."

boom--!

As she spoke, Vermouth pulled a revolver from her pocket, flashed the health bar, and fired a shot at the ceiling.

[Current stage time: 5 minutes, rating: SSS]

[Experience gained: 2000, Spiritual Energy: 2200]

Accompanied by system notification sounds and Vermouth's threats, the people at the party scattered in terror at the sound of gunfire.

The ceiling and the surrounding walls also disappeared quickly.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its cool light and silencing the once bustling city.

[Obtained temporary item: "Revolver"]

"Revolver": Starts with six bullets, and replenishes one bullet every 30 seconds.

Mission Objective: Defeat Vermouth.

Chu Zhong was not surprised by the sudden gunfight.

This is a boss-level dungeon, after all; how could it only have a simple disguise level?

but……

Chu Zhong glanced at the number on Vermouth's health bar: 50000

Now let's look at the lethality of the revolver in my hand: 50

Revolvers are generally police sidearms, mainly used to control criminals, and have relatively low lethality.

But with a difference of a thousand times and extremely limited bullets, can this thing really defeat Vermouth?

Fortunately, Chu Zhong's main purpose in coming to this instance was to obtain the Disguise Mask, and he has already obtained three.

Even if you can't complete the later levels, you won't lose anything!

boom--!

Before he could think any further, Vermouth had already raised her gun and aimed. Chu Zhong immediately jumped over the bar and crouched down to avoid the bullets.

“Sake! (Sake)”

Suddenly, Vermouth shouted, and the bullet that had been flying straight past the bar suddenly turned ninety degrees.

This absurd scene caught Chu Zhong completely off guard, and he was struck in the thigh by a bullet that had curved around the corner.

Chu Zhong felt a sharp pain in his thigh.

-10

The damage number that appeared was much lower than expected.

It turns out that the Golden Body Leggings provided 40 defense, and the bullets barely managed to penetrate them.

【"Golden Body Leggings" Durability: 95%】

After absorbing the bullets, the golden gaiters inevitably sustained some damage.

boom--! boom--! boom--!

Chu Zhong didn't have time to think too much before gunshots rang out one after another.

"Soju! Baijiu!! Sorrel!!!"

The names of the drinks Vermouth shouted out were like death knells, causing the bullets to veer off course one after another.

Chu Zhong quickly moved behind the bar, but his dodge route seemed to be predicted. He only dodged two bullets before being hit by another.

-1

Fortunately, this time the bullet hit the arm, but the golden embroidered shirt, with its 100% defense, completely blocked it.

【"Golden Embroidered Robe" Durability: 99%】

Da da da.

The crisp sound of high heels approaching the bar counter grew louder.

"Making a woman angry is a very dangerous thing."

Vermouth's tone carried a hint of disdainful languor, "Little mouse~ hiding in the back is just waiting to die~"

Waiting to die?

Upon hearing this word, Chu Zhong almost burst out laughing.

Who is the mouse and who is the cat? It's not necessarily true!

Chu Zhong has already figured out a way to defeat Vermouth!

"Don't they even have the courage to resist?"

Vermouth's footsteps grew closer, her tone increasingly disdainful: "What a boring game..."

Before she could even utter the word 'play,' Vermouth, who had stepped into the range of the immobilization spell, was instantly frozen in place.

Current mana: 125

Chu Zhong, who had been waiting patiently for his prey, stood up from behind the bar, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

The maximum level of the Immobilize spell lasts for 20 seconds against boss-level enemies.

Chu Zhong strode forward, snatched the gun from Vermouth's hand, and quickly removed all her equipment.

What appeared to be a thin piece of swimwear, once dropped on the ground, suddenly revealed a host of dangerous items: smoke grenades, tear gas, hand grenades, stun guns, poison...

I don't know how a swimsuit that's already bulging can fit so many things in.

It's like a fourth-dimensional space.

However, Chu Zhong was already used to the abnormal phenomena in the instance.

With ten seconds left, Chu Zhong used his clothes as ropes to tie Vermouth's hands behind her back and her feet as well. He then pressed down on her back, causing her to lie face down on the bar.

"W-what's going on?!"

Once the immobilization ended, Vermouth shouted incredulously, "What did you do?!"

But soon, Vermouth's tone became somewhat panicked: "What do you want to do? Stop!!!"

Seeing her so flustered, Chu Zhong became even more certain that the only thing Vermouth in this instance had was a long health bar; her physical attributes were based on reality.

In other words, with her strength, she could not forcibly break free of her bound hands.

Chu Zhong has already summoned the "Green Wood Stick," which has an attack power of 50. Judging from the numbers alone, it is comparable to a revolver.
