Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"Even if they weren't police officers, these are still two lives lost! You..."

Akemi Miyano's pupils trembled slightly. Unable to accept such indiscriminate killing, she took two steps back, distancing herself from Chu Zhong.

Then he saw Chu Zhong sitting on the ground, using his hands to pry out the bullet embedded in his leg, and bright red blood gushed out.

Miyano Akemi couldn't help but recall Chu Zhong's actions of shielding her earlier, and her heart softened: he had been injured protecting her...

"I...I'll go find the first-aid kit..."

"No need." Chu Zhong called out to Miyano Akemi, took out a "healing bandage" and wrapped it around the two injured areas, quickly stopping the bleeding.

+1……+1……

Health points are slowly recovering.

Although the golden leg guards were pierced, they also absorbed most of the impact of the bullet, ultimately embedding themselves in the outermost layer of flesh.

Otherwise, Chu Zhong wouldn't have been able to pry the bullet out with his bare hands.

"I have a reason why I must kill them..."

Chu Zhong gave a vague explanation.

Now that their true faces have been seen, Chu Zhong must kill them and erase their memories.

The instance's message reads: 'The target character's death will be synchronized with reality.'

In this instance, the only 'target character' is Akemi Miyano.

In other words, in this instance, only Akemi Miyano will actually die; everyone else is 'fake dead'.

The fact that the bodies of the two 'police officers' who were shot did not emit the white light that only appears when someone is truly dead further supports this conclusion.

"Besides..."

Chu Zhong looked at Miyano Akemi, "If I weren't here, would you be willing to surrender to these two?"

These words immediately silenced Akemi Miyano.

Undoubtedly, Akemi Miyano, who firmly believed that she could rescue her sister as long as she got the money, had already made certain mental preparations after planning and carrying out the robbery...

"There's no need to kill anyone..."

Akemi Miyano whispered in her defense, "Just make them incapable of resisting..."

It seems to be emphasizing that she still has a bottom line.

Chu Zhong shook his head. "If you don't kill them, you won't be able to escape when your accomplices arrive."

After saying that, Chu Zhong stood up, put on a disguise mask, and pulled Miyano Akemi to the corridor outside the door, looking down along the corridor railing.

They saw three suspicious men standing downstairs at the apartment building, looking around and then looking up... their eyes met those of the two men.

After pausing for two seconds, the three quickly walked into the apartment... clearly intending to come up to find them.

"Whether you like it or not, the shots have been fired, and you can't stay here any longer."

Chu Zhong pointed to the bag in Miyano Akemi's hand, "The important things should all be inside?"

After Miyano Akemi nodded, Chu Zhong immediately hugged her tightly.

He then stepped onto the railing and jumped from the ninth floor.

"You...ah—!!!"

Before Miyano Akemi could even reprimand the offensive behavior, she was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.

Just before the two were about to crash into the hard concrete, two giant pink hands joined together, catching them steadily and placing them on the ground.

It is a summoning creature synthesized by Chu Zhong using "love chocolate".

In dungeons without item restrictions, you should naturally make good use of what's in your inventory.

"That was terrifying... They didn't even warn me beforehand..."

Akemi Miyano gently pushed Chu Zhong away, uttering a slight complaint.

As for the suddenly appearing pink chocolate summon, Akemi Miyano didn't notice anything unusual.

Just like witnessing those two people who were frozen in place.

Chu Zhong knew that this was because the dungeon was working its magic, causing normal people to subconsciously ignore the 'unreasonable' phenomena.

call out--!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out without warning.

-80!

Before Chu Zhong could react, his health dropped again, followed by a sharp pain in his back. He watched helplessly as a bullet pierced his abdomen and struck the concrete ground in front of him.

[The durability of the "Golden Embroidered Robe" has been reduced by 10%, current durability: 79%]

There's a sniper?!

Fortunately, they wanted to capture him alive, and weren't aiming for his head...

Even the Golden Embroidered Robe, which has the highest defense, was pierced, and the remaining damage still dealt a critical hit.

The power of the sniper rifle is truly outrageous!

Chu Zhong's heart sank, and the sharp pain in his abdomen made him dizzy, weak in the limbs, and he fell forward helplessly.

Fortunately, in his last moments before collapsing, Chu Zhong used his mind to control two summoned creatures, grabbing himself and Miyano Akemi in the chocolate's hand and leaving the residential area as quickly as possible.

-5, -5, -5...

The penetrating wound in my abdomen was still bleeding, as if it were drawing away my body heat, making me feel chilled.

Seeing that his blood volume was about to run out, Chu Zhong hurriedly took out the gourd with his trembling hands from the pain, took a sip, and immediately felt a warm sensation throughout his body.

+37……+5、+5……

The wine he drank initially restored about 20% of his health, and then the infused ingredients took effect, continuously restoring his health and barely offsetting the rate at which he was losing blood from the wound.

Chu Zhong then took out a "healing bandage" and used it to stop the bleeding.

Next, synthesize four chocolate summons and place them next to each other to form a barrier, blocking any possible sniper line of sight.

A short while later, Chu Zhong and Miyano Akemi left the residential area unharmed, disappearing into the alleyways of the commercial street...

The rooftop of an apartment building in a residential area.

As Cohen disassembled the sniper rifle and put it back in his briefcase, he took out his phone and made a call to report: "That guy is quite skilled. The two people we sent up were both shot in the head with one shot. He's most likely a member of the Special Operations Agency."

"The man has been shot through the abdomen, so he shouldn't have gone far."

Gin's cold laugh came through the phone receiver: "It's better if you run far away, otherwise how will you find your hideout?"

"That man must be an FBI spies, and that woman is a couple with Shuichi Akai, who defected back then. I suspected she was up to something."

"This time, we'll wipe them all out!"

Chapter 169 Not refusing is agreeing

Using chocolate summons as mounts, Chu Zhong and Miyano Akemi traveled from the residential area to a nearby commercial street.

With the altered perception of the copy, pedestrians on the street were indifferent to the two-meter-tall chocolate, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Once they reached the deserted alley, no longer in an open area where they were easily targeted by snipers, and with no crows lurking around, Chu Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The summoned creature was immediately canceled to reduce the chance of it being discovered later.

"hiss--!"

However, after landing, Chu Zhong was still in excruciating abdominal pain and could only stand by holding onto the wall; he was unable to walk at all.

Thanks to the continued restorative effects of the medicinal wine, Chu Zhong's blood volume has now basically returned to full, and the wounds have stopped bleeding... However, the damaged internal organs are difficult to repair.

Despite being at full health, Chu Zhong had a feeling that he was not far from death...

As expected, we still have to use that thing...

"Hang in there, I'll call an ambulance right away!"

Akemi Miyano quickly took out her phone.

"No need..." Chu Zhong stopped him, "I'm fine..."

"How could you be alright?!" Miyano Akemi's voice rose unconsciously. "If you don't go to the hospital, you'll die!"

Then he immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Chu Zhong sit down against the wall.

Even though her voice was weak and her body was trembling from the pain, she still stubbornly insisted that she was fine!

The sight of that thick sniper bullet piercing Chu Zhong's abdomen sent a chill down Miyano Akemi's spine.

"Hospitals...are not safe..."

Chu Zhong gritted his teeth and explained, "They know I'm injured, so they'll definitely keep a close eye on the hospital..."

After saying that, he could no longer hold on, and with trembling hands, he took out a drop of "Revival Juice" from his inventory and swallowed it.

"Resuscitation Juice": Significantly accelerates wound healing, promotes disease recovery, and has a certain regenerative effect.

The "Revival Juice" was indeed miraculous. Just a few seconds after taking it, Chu Zhong felt the pain from his internal organs rapidly diminishing, and the weakness slowly dissipating, as if he had come back to life.

"If you don't go to the hospital, your injury..."

Unable to see any changes within Chu Zhong's body, Miyano Akemi remained worried about his injuries, especially the bandages wrapped around Chu Zhong's abdomen, which were almost entirely stained red with blood.

"It's alright, I'm tough..."

Chu Zhong slowly stood up, took out a disguise mask with his backhand, and with a thought, the mask transformed into the appearance of an ordinary woman.

Akemi Miyano, whose real identity is bank employee Masami Hirota, is wanted for robbing an armored truck.

With this disguise mask, one can avoid being arrested by the police and also avoid being discovered by the distillery's informants.

"Now you should believe me, right? Gin really intends to kill you." Chu Zhong reminded her as he put the mask on Miyano Akemi.

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't confronted the brewery directly on the surface, but instead used 'Shinichi Kudo' as a covert deterrent.

Otherwise, who can defend against being suddenly targeted like this?

"But that sniper rifle... was aimed at you..."

Akemi Miyano whispered.

"What do you mean?" Chu Zhong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Akemi Miyano's voice was even softer: "Your sudden appearance will naturally raise suspicion, and... you might even be a member of the police..."

Chu Zhong suddenly felt a wave of weakness.

Even at this point, Miyano Akemi still clung to wishful thinking, refusing to believe that it was a trap set by Gin or someone he had sent.

"That's all..."

Chu Zhong sighed and stopped arguing with Miyano Akemi. He simply took out a few bills and told her to go to the clothing store next door to buy a clean set of clothes and a coat.

After putting on his coat to cover the bloodstains on his shirt, Chu Zhong led Miyano Akemi to a nearby coffee shop. In the restroom, they removed the bandages and changed into clean clothes.

"So, tell me, what are you planning to do next?"

It was six o'clock in the evening, and night was just beginning to fall. In a corner of the coffee shop, Chu Zhong looked at Miyano Akemi, who was sitting opposite him and wearing a disguise mask, and asked her a question.

Akemi Miyano paused, "Your injury..."

“My injuries are healed now. Tell me your plan,” Chu Zhong reminded him. “You don’t have any money right now, how are you going to make a deal with Gin?”

"Of course, we need to find the guy who ran off with the money!"

"The other party must be hiding. How are you going to find them?"

"...Find a detective for help?"

"Alright, go ahead and find a detective," Chu Zhong said calmly. "I'll go with you."

Since Miyano Akemi is so stubborn and doesn't believe Gin is lying to her, then there's no point in trying to persuade her.

Anyway, the mission is to ensure that Miyano Akemi survives. All he needs to do is keep a close eye on her for the next 48 hours and prevent her from doing anything foolish.

As for what happens 48 hours from now, we'll talk about that then.
