Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Soon, everyone arrived at the recreation room and started playing individual matches.

Chu Zhong noticed that Yuanzi's skill cooldown was over and was about to activate it when he discovered that the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan was staring at him with an unprecedentedly infatuated look.

It's normal for Xiaolan in real life to act this way.

The fact that Xiaolan, a martial arts fanatic, would act this way, and didn't even try to tackle him... is somewhat unusual.

"what happened?"

Chu Zhong waved and asked in a low voice.

Chapter 159: Immobilization and Clothing Removal Were Only for Collection

Ever since successfully fooling the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan in the dungeon, this little girl has gradually become obsessed with things that make her happy.

Especially when teaming up, Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic and teammate, would often think about breaking the seal and doing some research.

Chu Zhong was not surprised by this.

Previously, Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, was always a woman of action. Whenever she wanted to play, she would take the initiative to approach and ask for help.

Unlike now, they're just staring at him.

"what happened?"

Chu Zhong couldn't help but be curious, so he beckoned Xiao Lan closer and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing~" Martial arts enthusiast Xiaolan smiled sweetly, her eyes full of admiration: "I just think my husband is getting more and more amazing~"

Just now in the women's bathhouse, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had the opportunity to gain the upper hand, suppressing Chu Zhong and launching continuous attacks, attempting to recreate the dominance she exerted on Chu Zhong during the battle on the rooftop.

As a result, he was so overjoyed that he fainted from the sheer heatwave that he was completely powerless to resist it.

During her break, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan thought of Kyogoku Makoto, whom she couldn't harm in the slightest, but Chu Zhong was able to injure and defeat him.

Compared to their first meeting, Chu Zhong's current strength is far beyond hers... and he's a man even 'Mom' praises highly.

"How did my husband become so strong so quickly? Can you teach me?"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan looked on with anticipation, full of respect for the strong.

"cough……"

Chu Zhong felt that his abilities had been inexplicably overestimated, and could only vaguely say, "It depends on your performance. Be a good boy and listen to me. Maybe I'll give you some pointers when I'm in a good mood..."

"Mmm~" Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, nodded obediently.

She looks quite like the real-life Xiaolan.

The copy of the story, Yuanzi, said smugly, "I knew I wasn't wrong. Only you, Chu Jun, can keep Xiao Lan so well-behaved."

Chu Zhong was a little embarrassed by the praise.

However, in some ways, Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, was indeed tamed by him and became much more obedient.

As for whether or not to help the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan become stronger now... that remains to be seen.

There was only one ping-pong table in the recreation room. People lined up to play in turn, and those who hadn't had a turn sat on a bench and waited.

Conan, clutching his swollen and aching forehead, weaved through the crowd, completing the tasks assigned by Chu Zhong:

Four listening devices were attached to the inside of the yukatas of Kazushi Nakamichi, Jun Omura, Yukio Ayashiro, and Noriko Ayashiro, respectively.

Finally, she obediently took off her glasses and handed them to Chu Zhong, not forgetting to ask, "Why did you eavesdrop, Brother Chu..."

Chu Zhong glared at Conan, who immediately shut up.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, to find the 'perpetrator' hiding among the crowd.

The perpetrator is just too patient; he hasn't shown any sign of making a move yet.

Chu Zhong could only wait patiently.

Also, activate the garden's skill that has already cooled down:

[Deduct 100 million yen and obtain information on items exclusive to this instance...]

As the notification sound rang out, Chu Zhong immediately learned how to obtain an exclusive item and its effects.

"Onsen Yukata": Enjoy the comfort of soaking in hot springs anytime, anywhere.

How to obtain: Collect the yukatas for the following targets...

Kazushi Nakamichi, Jun Omura, Yukio Ayashiro, Noriko Ayashiro, Yumi Horikoshi, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Conan.

Chu Zhong glanced at the list and saw that everyone except himself had to have their bathrobes collected, a total of nine.

The "hot spring yukata" has an interesting effect, but it's a bit troublesome, and it's only a unique item...

But soon, Chu Zhong discovered that there was more information to come.

Hidden Mechanism: When completing a dungeon mission with an S-rank or higher, the hot spring yukata will be converted into a regular item.

Common items mean they can be taken out of the dungeon!

Chu Zhong immediately became interested.

Since it's an item that can be taken away, this "hot spring yukata" is a great thing for providing unlimited warmth.

If we encounter a cold environment similar to the previous ice and snow dungeon in the future, we will no longer be afraid!

However, right now, Kogoro and the others are playing ping-pong, so it won't be so easy to get the yukata they're wearing.

Chu Zhong whispered a few words to the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi, and then left the entertainment room temporarily under the pretext of buying drinks for everyone.

In reality, Chu Zhong asked the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and Yuanzi to go to the women's changing room to change out of their yukatas.

The yukatas provided at the hotel are unisex, with the same style, differing only in size.

The two best friends quickly changed into new yukatas and handed over the two yukatas they had worn, which still had a slight fragrance, as well as a brand new yukata to Chu Zhong.

At Chu Zhong's instruction, martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi went to the vending machine to buy drinks and brought them back to the entertainment room.

He took the two yukatas he had collected back to his room, and with the new yukata in his hand, he walked to the door of Horikoshi Yumi's room.

dong dong dong-

"Which one?"

Horikoshi Yumi's voice came from inside the room, asking a question.

dong dong dong-

Chu Zhong did not respond, but simply knocked on the door.

A moment later, Horikoshi Yumi impatiently opened the door to her room.

Certainly!

As soon as the door opened, Chu Zhong, who was hiding on the side of the wall, threw a stun throw at Horikoshi Yumi, then walked into the room and closed the door.

The immobilization effect disappeared after two minutes.

"What a pointless prank..."

Standing at the door of the room, Horikoshi Yumi frowned slightly. Seeing that the corridor was empty, she quickly closed the door.

"strangeness……"

Once she sat back down on the tatami mat, Horikoshi Yumi's expression was somewhat strange. She felt a slight itch on her skin, as if someone was undressing her and the fabric was gently brushing against her skin.

But she was wearing a yukata, and she was all alone in the room...

"Has a murder occurred in this room?"

Yumi Horikoshi shrank back, quickly stood up, and left the room.

As I was going downstairs, I ran into Chu Zhong.

"Everyone's in the recreation room, Ms. Horikoshi, would you like to join in the fun?"

Chu Zhong said with a smile.

In the original story, Yumi Horikoshi is the victim.

In this instance, Chu Zhong had the pleasure of admiring Horikoshi Yumi's figure twice, and thus gained some advantage, so he didn't want to see her die in vain.

Keeping everyone together as much as possible can also reduce the chances of the perpetrator taking action.

"Yeah, it's pretty boring being alone in the room..."

Yumi Horikoshi explained, then lowered her voice: "Also, at this age, just call me Auntie."

Chu Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, Ms. Horikoshi."

No woman dislikes being complimented on her youth... especially a beautiful woman.

His verbal agreement, coupled with his continued self-willed behavior, caused Horikoshi Yumi to let out a soft snort of dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything more.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

When Chu Zhong and Horikoshi Yumi returned to the recreation room, everyone was playing a game of ping-pong, with the crisp sound of ping-pong balls hitting the paddles echoing throughout.

Upon seeing Yumi Horikoshi appear, Jun Omura immediately gave up his seat to let her play first, while frantically gesturing to Yukio Ayashiro across the pool table.

Soon, Ayashiro Yukio lost three points in a row, which made Horikoshi Yumi, who had previously been somewhat aloof and even unsociable, smile, as if she had also become interested in table tennis.

"Lord Chu, how did you manage to persuade Yumi to come?"

Jun Omura curiously leaned over to ask.

"We just happened to run into each other, so we came together." Chu Zhong wasn't blind; he could tell that Omura Jun was pursuing Horikoshi Yumi.

However, he really didn't know why Horikoshi Yumi suddenly left the room.

Two hours later.

"Kogoro, Ran won, not you!"

Nakamichi and Shigeto stubbornly insisted.

“Exactly! We only lost to Ran.” Jun Omura and Yukio Ayashiro chimed in.

"At least it proves that I have good genes!" Kogoro held his head high, quite proud.

At this moment, under Chu Zhong's secret instructions, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan went all out, relying on her superhuman reflexes to defeat everyone with ping-pong balls.

The ball's incredible speed left everyone with little time to react, and the player's absurd stamina allowed him to take on seven opponents at once, leaving Ōmura and the others drenched in sweat.

It was already 5:30 pm, and everyone headed to the hot spring, intending to wash away the sweat and fatigue before having a barbecue in the hotel's backyard.

Chu Zhong watched the entire battle but did not enter the hot spring. Instead, he took the opportunity to collect the bathrobes that the others had changed out of.

Six, seven, eight... we're still missing one yukata!

We're still missing Conan's yukata!

Conan, being too short, couldn't play ping-pong at all, and was currently watching TV in the hotel's recreation room.

Chu Zhong was not going to hold back when it came to Conan.

He froze Conan in place, forcibly stripped him of his yukata, tossed the new yukata onto Conan's head, and left silently.

Conan, who was watching TV, suddenly realized that his yukata had been ripped off, leaving him feeling chilly: ...

Who knocked me unconscious?

Conan's expression was complicated, and he quickly put on his clothes.

They were all members of the judo club, so it was naturally easy for them to ambush a small child.

In other words, anyone could be a suspect in a crime involving knocking someone unconscious and doing something strange!

"Fortunately, the other party didn't..." Conan subconsciously used his hand to protect his lower back.

"It shouldn't be Chu Zhong... that guy is heterosexual..."

Conan, talking to himself, first eliminates one correct answer.
