"Chu Jun is really something, choosing such an angle..."

"Yeah, it looks so embarrassing..."

Group photos and landscape photos were fine, but when it came to swimsuit photos, Ran and Sonoko became increasingly shy and whispered among themselves.

I don't realize it when I'm wearing a swimsuit, but it's a different feeling when it's photographed.

Taking advantage of his position, Chu Zhong was able to take photos up close, and he chose the parts that best showcased the girl's graceful figure, resulting in photos that were extremely impactful.

As the three looked at the photos and whispered among themselves, the taxi began its ascent up the mountain road, winding and turning, getting closer and closer to the cliffside restaurant at the summit.

Completely unaware, the driver in the driver's seat pulled his hat down further, the cold smile he had been hiding at the corner of his mouth becoming increasingly impossible to conceal...

"Lord Chu, let's delete this one."

Ran Mouri pointed to a photo that was accidentally taken while she was adjusting her swimsuit.

In the photo, the skin peeking out from the seam of the school swimsuit is faintly visible, especially near the thigh.

"Delete this one too..."

Sonoko then spoke up as well.

In this photo, Sonoko's face is flushed from the sun, and she is eating a popsicle to cool off with her head tilted back, looking very comfortable... but Chu Zhong took the photo from a bird's-eye view, which looks too strange.

Holding his camera, Chu Zhong declared righteously, "These photos are memories of our trip. How can you delete them? Not a single one!"

This is a beautiful scene that he finally managed to capture!

"Lord Chu~~~"

Then Sonoko and Ran used a combination of soft and hard tactics, coaxing him softly while placing their fingers on his waist as if ready to pinch him at any moment.

"I mean……"

Chu Zhong quickly corrected him, saying, "At least let me enjoy it for two more days. It's not too late to delete it on the way back."

Seeing that he took the initiative to compromise, Sonoko and Ran Mori also agreed to this compromise.

Click——!

Inside the moving taxi, the sound of a door being opened was suddenly heard.

The three people in the back seat were so engrossed in looking at the photos that they were a beat slow to react to the unusual sound.

When Chu Zhong looked up, he saw the driver's side door open and the driver jump out of the car.

The taxi, without a driver, not only didn't slow down, but actually sped up, bursting through the highway guardrail in the blink of an eye, about to plunge off a cliff tens of meters high...

"!!!"

The sudden predicament caused Ran and Sonoko to stare wide-eyed in terror, forgetting even to scream, and instinctively clinging to Chu Zhong beside them.

After losing its forward momentum, the taxi plunged off the cliff in a parabolic arc, carrying the three people inside.

Meanwhile, the 'driver' who had jumped out of the car beforehand quickly disappeared into the forest, sneering as he removed his disguise:

"They really are asking for trouble, what a waste of those two beauties..."

"You can only blame yourselves for being so impulsive, taking photos and not even giving me a chance..."

at the same time,

Chu Zhong, who is in freefall, discovers that he has overestimated the kindness in the world of science fiction.

Chu Zhong believed he hadn't provoked anyone during this trip.

If I had to name one, Masahiko Shibata would barely qualify.

That taxi driver was most likely Masahiko Dokyo in disguise.

Did he really commit murder just because he was rejected and mocked after trying to flirt with her?

As expected, most criminals in the world of Detective Conan are not entirely mentally stable...

"Ugh……"

Chu Zhong shrugged helplessly and began to deal with the predicament before him.

There was not a trace of panic on his face.

Because Chu Zhong had already used a freezing spell just as the taxi was about to crash into the sea.

Current mana: 155

The taxi was suspended above the sea.

Under the special effects of the new root, not only the taxi, but also all the objects inside the car, including Sonoko and Ran, are frozen in place.

The problem now is that there is at least a 30-meter drop from the cliff to the sea.

A free fall of this height, hitting the water's surface, is no different from hitting a concrete floor; a normal person would undoubtedly die.

Even if Ran is a demon king and Sonoko is a leader, they wouldn't be able to withstand this level of impact.

The duration of the immobilization spell on them is also limited, at 10 seconds and 20 seconds respectively.

In short, once the immobilization is lifted, Ran and Sonoko will continue their fall due to inertia and will most likely be seriously injured, or even...

Fortunately, Chu Zhong had already come up with a solution...

Chapter 150 I must repay you properly afterward.

This height, which could be deadly, was nothing to Chu Zhong.

With the high defense provided by the Golden Body Set, it can completely withstand the impact of a fall.

In fact, the moment the car came to a stop, Chu Zhong was already falling downwards due to inertia, crashing into the seat and facing the impact ahead of time.

-0

The golden embroidered robe, after its final enhancement, boasts a defense of up to 160, meaning this level of impact wouldn't even be able to break through its defenses.

Ran and Sonoko, who were clinging to him before he was immobilized, were also dragged and slammed into the seats. However, the immobilization had not yet ended, and the damage could not be calculated in time.

However, the equipment's excellent protective capabilities also made Chu Zhong instantly think of ways to protect Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi.

[Deducting 80000 Spirit Essence, successfully purchased "Immortal Grade - Golden Wrathful Face", "Immortal Grade - Golden Embroidered Robe", "Immortal Grade - Golden Arm Guards", and "Immortal Grade - Golden Leg Guards"]

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 108000]

Just last night, Chu Zhong made a fortune in spirit essence in Kyogoku Makoto's demon-level dungeon, and once again spent 8 spirit essence to buy a complete set of golden body equipment.

Currently, Chu Zhong possesses a total of three sets of golden body armor.

With a thought, General Chu put on the Golden Body Set, which was almost completely enhanced to the extreme and had the highest defense, and then equipped it on Sonoko, whose resistance to attacks was relatively the weakest.

The remaining two sets of ordinary outfits were one for him and one for Xiaolan.

Wearing the system equipment takes almost no time; Chu Zhong can simply transfer it via his thoughts through the control panel.

boom--!

Chu Zhong even had time to take out his Beretta pistol and shoot the rear windshield.

At this point, ten seconds had passed, and the immobilization spell on Xiaolan was about to dissipate.

Certainly!

Current mana: 130

Chu Zhong cast another immobilization spell, then adjusted the positions of himself, Xiao Lan, and Yuan Zi inside the taxi.

Ten seconds later, Chu Zhong moved his mind and simultaneously released all the other immobilization effects, including Xiao Lan's.

Bang-!

The taxi continued to fall, nose down, and crashed directly into the sea.

The immense kinetic energy from the tens of meters drop caused the front of the car to deform instantly, the steel bars to twist, and the windshield to shatter instantly.

Seawater rushed into the car in the blink of an eye, submerging the three people.

Fortunately, the bullets fired earlier had already shattered the rear windshield.

Chu Zhong, having adjusted his posture beforehand, led Xiao Lan and Yuanzi out of the taxi from the back to avoid being dragged to the bottom of the sea.

However, being held tightly by Xiaolan and Yuanzi, Chu Zhong was unable to swim to the surface. Fortunately, the two girls, in their fear, buried their heads in his arms and even forgot to breathe.

Forgetting to breathe in the sea helps prevent drowning.

The intense impact that should have been felt was silently dissipated by the invisible golden armor.

Having not experienced pain or drowning, Ran and Sonoko were still reeling from their fear and unaware of their current situation.

Chu Zhong then covered their mouths and noses, gently bumping his forehead against theirs to silently remind them to open their eyes.

"?!!!"

When Ran and Sonoko regained their senses, they instinctively tried to breathe again, only to find their noses and mouths covered, causing them to panic briefly.

However, they soon realized they were in the sea, and it was Chu Zhong who covered their mouths and noses.

Out of their subconscious trust in Chu, Ran and Sonoko quickly calmed down.

Noticing that they had stopped struggling, Chu Zhong slowly released his grip and pointed upwards.

"..."

Having received the meaning, Ran and Sonoko quickly loosened their grip and followed Chu Zhong to the surface.

"call--!"

Ran and Sonoko, who had regained their breathing, gasped for air, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Chu Zhong asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"without……"

Ran and Sonoko both shook their heads, their voices trembling slightly, clearly not yet fully recovered from the fear of falling off the cliff.

Chu Zhong chuckled and said, "We weren't injured in such a dangerous situation. It seems that heaven is on our side and doesn't want to ruin today's good thing."

Ran Mouri and Sonoko were both slightly taken aback.

They soon discovered that although Chu Zhong's words were somewhat unserious, luck was indeed on their side.

The two best friends thought they were going to die the moment they fell off the cliff, but they never expected that they wouldn't even have a scratch.

However, compared to their fleeting luck, what both Ran and Sonoko felt more deeply was Chu Zhong's protective action of covering their mouths and noses to prevent them from drowning when they regained their senses in the sea.

"Lord Chu is too strong!"

Sonoko's eyes were filled with admiration, "They actually rescued us from the falling car in one go."

Ran Mouri's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. "King Chu, thank goodness you're here!"

Although the specific details are unknown, there is no doubt that they were rescued by Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong chuckled, "No need to thank me. You can repay me properly once you're free."

This prompted the two best friends to let out a soft snort.

Ran Mouri: "Chu-kun, we won't let you off so easily then!"

Sonoko: "I will definitely repay you 'properly'~"

After some playful banter, Ran and Sonoko were visibly more relaxed.

Chu Zhong then advised them to swim along one side of the mountain in order to escape as quickly as possible.

But the mountain wall stretches for countless kilometers, and the side facing the sea is all cliffs, with nowhere to put one's feet.

After swimming for twenty minutes, the three of them could vaguely see the sandy beach where they had sunbathed earlier, about the size of a mung bean.

Even a mountain can be incredibly long to climb, and being in the sea, swimming with only your hands is much slower than on land. It's uncertain how long it will take to get back to the beach.

Chu Zhong possessed boundless stamina and didn't feel tired at all.
