Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Bourbon asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth glanced at it and asked, "Why do you care about this?"

Bourbon gave an innocent smile. "I'm mainly curious. Is the BOSS intentionally having Gin recruit Chu Zhong into the organization, since even Gin is wary of him?"

Vermouth frowned slightly: "Get Gin to do something like that? That's impossible..."

If the BOSS really intends to recruit, the task should fall to her.

"Whatever the task the BOSS assigns, Bourbon, just do your job."

Vermouth warned, "Especially when the organization is catching rats..."

Bourbon's smile froze slightly, then quickly turned into helplessness. He shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.

Chapter 140 Shirley's Delusions, a Demon Immortal-Level Being

"Who is that guy?"

Inside the moving van, Shiho Miyano suddenly spoke up, "Why didn't you chase him away earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Gin's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, stiffened almost imperceptibly in the passenger seat.

Cohen and Chianti both secretly glanced at Gin, but said nothing.

Bourbon looked up to admire the roof of the car.

After a brief and tacit silence,

"That's the kind of person who can scare Gin into hiding like a turtle!"

Vermouth spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "How dare we go up?"

An existence that even Gin fears?

A hint of doubt flashed in Shiho Miyano's eyes. Although she had only been in contact with Chu Zhong for a short time, she had not sensed any danger.

Looking again at the rearview mirror inside the car,

Gin, in the passenger seat, ignored these words, simply took a deep drag of his cigarette, looked out the window, and slowly exhaled.

Some smoke lingered inside the car, causing Shiho Miyano, who was forced to inhale secondhand smoke, to frown slightly.

"However, it seems that the kid has taken a liking to Shirley."

Vermouth continued, "Gin, if you kneel down and beg me, I might consider disguising myself as Sherry and helping you get rid of that kid."

Gin remained unresponsive, as if he hadn't heard him.

When these words reached Shiho Miyano's ears, images of them embracing and kissing inexplicably flashed through her mind, and she immediately snorted coldly: "With your disguise, you can't even fool me."

"I'm afraid I'll be tied up and humiliated."

The more she talked, the richer her imagination became. She quickly opened the window to let in fresh air and cool her face.

"Shirley! You—you dare say that again!"

Vermouth retorted angrily, saying that the situation wasn't much better, and she also opened the window to let in some fresh air.

'Bound' was a key word, and related images kept flashing through her mind, with Chu Zhong as the protagonist, incredibly powerful, which made her...

Bourbon, Chianti, and the others found it difficult to respond to the issue of 'disguise' that the two were arguing about.

Vermouth's disguise skills are superb, and her ability to easily forge a voice is truly terrifying.

But Sherry was like Vermouth's nemesis; no matter what she disguised herself as, she would be seen through at a glance.

Only Sherry has the right to say that Vermouth's disguise skills are poor.

“Vermouth,” Gin said, “you really should study your disguise skills more thoroughly… The Boss should have informed you as well.”

"Heh~" Vermouth continued to look out the window. "I have plenty of time... but you'd better hurry up."

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, hehe..."

Gin's eyes narrowed, his cold gaze intensifying. "How did you know..."

Vermouth said leisurely, "Of course it's a guess... but I have no idea what you're talking about, Gin, so..."

"Don't blame me if the mission fails."

The two exchanged cryptic remarks, leaving everyone else in the car completely baffled.

Shiho Miyano was busy cooling herself off with a fan and didn't dare to inquire about Chu Zhong again, lest her imagination run wild once more.

The van first returned to its base in downtown Beika, where Bourbon and Gin got out one after the other.

After driving for a while, Vermouth, Chianti, and Shiho Miyano got out of the car and into a smaller vehicle.

Shiho Miyano was blindfolded and sat in the back seat with Chianti.

Vermouth took the lead and drove them to the new secret laboratory.

At 2:30 pm,

Shiho Miyano appeared in the new room assigned to her at the new experimental base.

After unpacking her personal belongings and arranging the room simply, Shiho Miyano went to the bathroom to wash away the smell of smoke she had picked up on the way.

Not only Gin smokes, but Vermouth does too.

Vermouth, in particular, seemed to have a particularly strong nicotine craving today, and Shiho Miyano was exposed to secondhand smoke the whole way.

"..."

During her bath, Shiho Miyano's hand passed over the area where the writing had been done, and she paused involuntarily.

Even through a layer of clothing, the faint itch on my thigh caused by someone's fingertips seemed to resurface.

Shiho Miyano hurriedly rubbed her hands together, as if trying to stop the itch, but the moment she touched them, she inexplicably thought of Chu Zhong's large hands.

My imagination exploded once again, conjuring up images of a giant hand constantly exploring...

"Is...the pressure...too much...?"

Shiho Miyano did not forcefully suppress the images that surfaced in her mind. She simply murmured something, closed her eyes, and seemed to intend to immerse herself in them briefly to relieve the pressure.

About ten minutes later, as her imagination ran wild, Shiho Miyano's state of mind changed from tense to relaxed.

After a quick rinse, I lay down in the warm bathtub.

Shiho Miyano's cheeks were also slightly red from the hot water.

After overheating, the brain gradually regained its calm and thinking ability.

"Sister...how did he know that something was wrong with you?"

"Could it be that my sister and he already knew each other?"

"Could he really be my sister's boyfriend...?"

After a brief moment of thought, Shiho Miyano's face grew even hotter.

She actually fantasized about her sister's boyfriend...

"It shouldn't be... right..."

"My sister's previous boyfriends weren't this type, how could she suddenly be obsessed with relationships with younger men..."

Shiho Miyano muttered softly, as if trying to explain something.

Chu Zhong, who was 'named',

We have now arrived at the Izu Peninsula in eastern Shizuoka Prefecture.

After leaving the coffee shop and returning to Eri Kisaki's apartment, Chu Zhong hadn't even had time for a nap before Ran and Sonoko dragged him to Beika Station, their destination for this trip.

Fortunately, the one-and-a-half-hour train journey allowed Chu Zhong to take a nap and recover his energy.

After leaving the train station, Sonoko hailed a taxi, and the three of them got off in front of the hotel they had booked.

"Are you sure we want to stay here tonight?"

Chu Zhong glanced at the garden and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Any questions?"

Sonoko looked puzzled. "The travel magazine said that this hotel has excellent service and good food, and is highly praised by tourists."

"And this hotel is near the beach..."

Seeing her best friend still proudly introducing the product, she hadn't realized the problem.

Ran Mouri whispered a reminder, "But this hotel... is made of wood... and the soundproofing is poor..."

That's right, the hotel that Sonoko booked was actually a traditional Japanese-style two-story wooden family-run hotel.

Wooden buildings have extremely poor sound insulation; any slight noise can be heard clearly.

"Oh!"

Sonoko finally realized what was happening, blushing slightly, "Then I'll call and book a luxury hotel..."

Chu Zhong then intervened, stopping Yuanzi from making a phone call, "Since you've already booked a room, you can stay here tonight..."

"Besides, it's getting late. Finding a new hotel and rushing there will take a lot of time, and the sun will be setting soon."

It is now 3:30 pm.

"But tonight..."

Sonoko and Ran Mouri both cast ardent glances at her.

"Cough," Chu Zhong was actually feeling a bit restless, but he could only force an explanation, "We're going to the festival and watch the fireworks tonight, and I don't know what time we'll get back. I'll probably be exhausted by then, so what else could we possibly do?"

This is a completely rhetorical question.

But Chu Zhong also had reasons for having no choice but to choose this hotel.

Inside the hotel's open doors, a dark-skinned, tall young man wearing glasses stood at the front desk, head down, taking notes.

Above the young man's head was a line of golden text: [Demon Immortal Level - Kyogoku Makoto]

He is the strongest fighter in the world of Detective Conan, with ridiculously high combat power!

Chu Zhong knew his own limitations, especially his lack of skill in close combat. He struggled greatly against the Demon King-level Xiao Lan dungeon and only managed to clear it by finding a different approach.

Kyogoku Makoto, a demon-level being, is also skilled in close combat and can even dodge rifle bullets, making him a fully upgraded and enhanced version of Ran.

Even a freezing spell probably wouldn't be able to restrain Makoto Kyogoku for more than a few seconds.

Before today, Chu Zhong would not have even considered challenging this instance.

As luck would have it, Chu Zhong just obtained a Noble Phantasm that counters the dungeon boss from the Gin dungeon today!

Clearing the Demon Immortal level dungeon will definitely drop some good items!

However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Zhong plans to team up to challenge the dungeon.

So, as a must-pick teammate, Xiaolan has to stay at this hotel tonight.

"Okay, I'll stay for one night..."

Sonoko and Ran Mouri also remembered the tight schedule ahead, and although they were a little disappointed, they both agreed.

"Since we're going out, let's have some fun first."

Seeing this, Chu Zhong chuckled and said, "So that you won't be so tired that you can't stand up and won't even have a chance to play."

This immediately caused Sonoko and Ran Mouri to blush with embarrassment.

"It can't be that exaggerated..."

Yuanzi muttered something under her breath.

"Lord Chu is definitely just trying to scare people~"

Ran Mouri replied in a soft, coquettish voice.

However, considering Chu Zhong's extraordinary talent, the two best friends believed it to some extent, and their slight disappointment was instantly replaced by an even stronger curiosity and anticipation...
