Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Since the goal is to defeat Vermouth anyway, why not use a safer and more efficient weapon?

It has to be said that Vermouth in the dungeon has a very attractive figure, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and big waves.

Vermouth's naturally fair skin is as white as snow, even fairer than Ran and Eri, making the flowers around her appear even more delicate and beautiful.

"Please, please, let me go..."

Vermouth hurriedly said, "I'm willing to admit defeat..."

His face, turned away from Chu Zhong, was filled with anger and hatred.

"rest assured……"

Chu Zhong flipped Vermouth over, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I will make sure you die without pain."

Although Vermouth's exact age is unknown, she appears to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old in the dungeon.

Her exquisite and beautiful appearance, fair and delicate skin, alluring figure, and the pitiful expression she wore while pleading for mercy...

If Chu Zhong hadn't been experienced in combat and hadn't been so familiar with the world, he might have been bewitched by her beauty and spared her life.

I took a sniff and found that there was indeed no fragrance.

In terms of realism, regular dungeons simply can't compare to hidden dungeons, let alone in terms of realism.

The advantage is that in the dungeon, Chu Zhong doesn't need to care about Vermouth's age; he just needs to defeat her with all his might!

-196!

-50, -50, -50...

A single hit inflicts bleeding damage directly on Vermouth.

Chu Zhong was used to the dungeon's repair mechanism and continued to swing his weapon to deal damage.

-256! -300! -340!

As the attacks continued, Vermouth's health steadily decreased, and Chu Zhong attacked the same spot repeatedly, quickly inflicting a 'vulnerable' status and increasing the damage dealt.

"I...I didn't expect you to be so amazing..."

Unable to resist, Vermouth's tone quickly softened, "Being tied up is so uncomfortable... could you help me loosen it up a bit, okay?"

Chu Zhong understood that Vermouth possessed acting skills worthy of an Oscar, and this was definitely an attempt to deliberately lower his guard so that he could launch a sneak attack.

But I like it this way~

Chu Zhong's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Besides, even if you try to flatter me, I won't let you off the hook."

Upon closer observation, Chu Zhong quickly noticed the hatred hidden in Vermouth's eyes.

"I will definitely kill you!!!"

Vermouth, unable to change the situation by begging or acting, uttered a curse.

Such verbal threats could not sway Chu Zhong in the slightest.

Even this verbal resistance, coupled with the constant display of positive feedback, only fueled Chu Zhong's aggression.

-500! -500! -500!

A few minutes later, as the 'Vulnerable' status was fully stacked, Chu Zhong's every attack could deal damage ten times the weapon's base attack power.

Vermouth's health is also about to be depleted.

But Chu Zhong hadn't had enough of seeing Vermouth being teased.

The attack mode is now switched to 'safe mode'.

-0! -0! -0!

In this mode, even if an attack hits, it will not cause damage.

Chu Zhong had previously used the safe mode when he sparred with Eri in the hidden instance.

Twenty minutes later, under the moonlight, Chu Zhong showed no mercy and inflicted four negative statuses on Vermouth: 'Vulnerable', 'Dehydrated', 'Weak', and 'Confused', all of which were fully stacked.

After all, the Vermouth in this instance is only a boss-level character, and doesn't have the same strong resistance as the Demon King-level martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

In addition, Chu Zhong's "Green Wood Staff" had been enhanced, significantly increasing its magical attack power, making it naturally easier to inflict negative status effects.

"You...you...ooh...damn it..."

At this moment, Vermouth was rolling her eyes, speaking weakly and incoherently, looking like she was on her deathbed.

Chu Zhong was now satisfied and switched back to normal combat mode, intending to deplete Vermouth's health and send her away.

Even though Vermouth is now powerless to resist, the memories of the bosses in the dungeon will be inherited.

We must forcibly erase Vermouth's memories to prevent her from coming back and to be on guard against her methods.

Especially Vermouth's hateful gaze just now...

After the instance ends, Vermouth in the real world will have very few memories remaining.

Chu Zhong didn't want Vermouth's hatred for him in the game to extend and affect his reality.

Just as Chu Zhong was about to ruthlessly destroy the flower,

Changes occurred suddenly...

Chapter 128 The Item: The Elixir of Immortality

Snapped--

Suddenly, a cylinder the size of a palm fell from the sky and stopped right next to Chu Zhong.

With a hiss, a large amount of thick white smoke began to billow out.

Chu Zhong only smelled a tiny bit, but found it unbearably pungent—it was tear gas!

He immediately distanced himself from Vermouth, who was left with only a sliver of health.

But then, a beam of light swept down from above, and the sound of helicopter blades filled my ears.

Looking up, I saw two helicopters that had appeared in the sky at some point, and the light was from the searchlights on the helicopters.

The helicopter's side door was open, and a sniper on each side was holding a sniper rifle, clearly aiming for his head.

Chu Zhong had no doubt that if he dared to make any rash moves, he would be instantly killed by a headshot in the dungeon.

The lethality of a sniper rifle is far superior to that of a pistol; defensive equipment simply cannot withstand it.

"Ha! You really think I have no help?!"

Accompanied by Vermouth's somewhat annoyed voice, she, now back in her swimsuit, emerged from the white smoke of the tear gas canisters.

"Little mouse, I'll give you a chance to live!"

Vermouth walked straight up to Chu Zhong and sneered, "Beg for mercy! Maybe I'll spare your life!"

"Otherwise, with just a wave of my hand, you will be torn to pieces!"

Chu Zhong remained remarkably calm in the face of the threat.

[Current stage: Number of hits taken: 2, Number of bullets consumed: 0, Rating: SSS]

[Experience gained: 2000, Spiritual Energy: 2200]

Hearing the system notification, Chu Zhong became even more certain that Vermouth had activated a health lock cheat, transitioning to a new phase when her health was low!

That awful dungeon system!!!

Fortunately, the mechanisms are reciprocal; they not only restricted him, but also Vermouth…

[Mission Objective: Answer Vermouth's three questions correctly]

The notification sound from the instance has already revealed the mechanics of the third phase.

Chu Zhong knew that even if he didn't beg for mercy, he wouldn't be instantly killed.

Moreover, begging for mercy is clearly Vermouth's perverse sense of humor, and he won't fall for it.

"Death under the peonies, even being a ghost is romantic."

Chu Zhong immediately retorted, "Anyway, I've already had my fun, so kill me if you want."

Upon hearing this, a flash of hatred appeared in Vermouth's eyes, followed by a cold laugh: "Want to die? It's not that simple!"

"How dare you treat me like that! I'll torture you to death slowly!"

Chu Zhong raised an eyebrow. "Torture? You were almost tortured to death just now, and you still want to torture me?"

Vermouth was so angry that she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and her body trembled slightly.

"What, still savoring the memory? Reluctant to make a move?" Chu Zhong continued to tease.

Now we're in a new phase. Even dungeon bosses have to follow the 'rules,' and Vermouth can't take action on her own, no matter how angry she is.

"Humph!"

Sure enough, Vermouth snorted coldly, then leaned close to his ear and said in a voice only they could hear, "Consider yourself lucky, you're the first one... I'll give you a chance to live."

"Three questions. If you answer just one correctly, I'll spare your life!"

Seeing that she got straight to the point, Chu Zhong didn't waste any words, "Ask away."

Vermouth parted her lips slightly, "Should we kill the organization's mole, or save the crying little girl?"

It's such a simple question?

"Save the little girl," Chu Zhong answered without hesitation.

"Reason?" Vermouth pressed.

"Do I need a reason?" Chu Zhong retorted.

Gin was the one who always caught and killed undercover agents, so he subconsciously chose the second option.

I didn't expect I'd have to explain this in detail; it's such a hassle...

Just as Chu Zhong was pondering how to make up a load of nonsense,

"That's right... You don't need a reason to save someone."

Vermouth reluctantly accepted the answer.

Ah this...

Chu Zhong paused for a moment, then recalled.

It seems that in the original work, when Vermouth was rescued by Ran Mouri, the answer she received was also "Saving people doesn't need a reason."

I never expected that my casual answer would actually be correct!

"second question."

Vermouth continued, "Does the silver bullet refer to Shuichi Akai or Shinichi Kudo?"

Unexpectedly, the second question was simpler than the first.

Chu Zhong even suspected that Vermouth had already considered him one of her own, which was why she asked such a question.

However, from another perspective, these are all Vermouth's most private thoughts.

If he hadn't had some understanding of the characters and experiences in the original work, he might not even know who 'Shuichi Akai' was, let alone what 'Silver Bullet' was.

In other words, these are actually Vermouth's biggest secrets!

"Kudo Shinichi!"

"reason."

"Because he has shown the potential to threaten the organization."

In reality, Chu Zhong didn't understand why Conan in the original work was regarded as a 'silver bullet capable of destroying the organization' simply because of his naive reasoning.

Perhaps that's the protagonist's halo.

In any case, in this dimension, Chu Zhong's performance as Shinichi Kudo last time must have left a deep impression on Vermouth.

"You actually... got it right again..." Vermouth's face was full of surprise, and even the anger and hatred in her eyes seemed to have faded a bit.
