Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"It's only eight o'clock now, Detective Mori probably hasn't gotten up yet."

Chu Zhong spoke up.

Before Miyano Akemi even knocked on the door, Chu Zhong had already frozen her in place, opened the office door with his key, and unplugged the telephone line.

As for Kogoro, he was fast asleep on the sofa in the office, with beer cans scattered around him.

Clearly, Kogoro got completely drunk again last night after waking up yesterday.

After unplugging the phone line, Chu Zhong stopped Kogoro, walked out of the office, and locked the door from the inside.

Finally, he released Miyano Akemi from her immobilization and pretended that he knew nothing.

Kogoro, frozen in place, couldn't perceive any external sounds, so naturally he couldn't hear the knocking.

"You have the key to the third floor, go up and wake up Detective Mori."

Miyano Akemi remembered that Chu Zhong had led her into the Mori family's house yesterday.

"Okay." Chu Zhong agreed, took Miyano Akemi's hand and went upstairs together. After opening the door, they went straight to Kogoro's bedroom.

Of course, there was no one inside.

"He's not home... He might have gone out for breakfast. Should we wait for him in the living room?"

Chu Zhong made a suggestion.

Completely oblivious to anything amiss, Akemi Miyano could only nod.

"Mingmei..."

Just as he was about to sit on the sofa, Chu Zhong took the opportunity to pull Miyano Akemi into his arms.

"Stop fooling around..." Miyano Akemi snorted softly, her tone somewhat reproachful.

Chu Zhong didn't care about all that; he had just expended a lot of his magic power and needed to replenish it before he could feel at ease.

Certainly!

Current mana: 115

Immediately freeze Miyano Akemi, who is only at the Lesser Demon level, and give her a good massage during the 110-second immobilization period.

The immobilization period has ended.

"Not even a single kiss?"

Chu Zhong loosened his grip, requesting only a brief touch.

"no!"

Miyano Akemi refused decisively; she dared not give Chu Zhong another chance.

The pleasure that came from burning away reason was so profound that, without realizing it, he became the only person in her mind, and she even began to have thoughts of spending her life with him...

When Miyano Akemi woke up in the morning, she realized that those thoughts were a complete betrayal of her sister!

If this continues, the resolve we've already made will definitely be shaken!

"Then... just holding him is alright, isn't it?"

Chu Zhong conceded again, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.

"Do not……"

Just as Miyano Akemi was about to refuse, her heart suddenly warmed, as if being teased by a gentle hand, and she couldn't help but recall the scenes from last night.

"no!"

Akemi Miyano gritted her teeth and refused.

Then close your eyes, take a deep breath, and try to clear your mind of the jumbled thoughts.

"Then... holding hands, that should be okay, right?"

Chu Zhong verbally conceded again, but in reality, he still held onto Miyano Akemi and did not let go.

Meanwhile, Miyano Akemi, who was trying to calm down, was affected by the delayed effects of the massage after being immobilized and was unable to answer. She was worried that if she opened her mouth, she would send a signal that Chu Zhong would misunderstand.

As memories of last night kept replaying in her mind, Akemi Miyano not only failed to calm down, but her body temperature also rose, and a minute later, her cheeks were already flushed.

"Mingmei, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Zhong, feigning ignorance, pressed his forehead against Miyano Akemi's forehead to check her temperature, and exclaimed in surprise, "Have you caught a cold and have a fever?"

Then I was pushed.

Akemi Miyano suddenly stood up and said, "I...I'm going to the restroom." Then she hurriedly ran away.

Chu Zhong watched her departing figure, smiling without saying a word.

In the restroom.

"Why……"

Akemi Miyano sat on the toilet seat, murmuring softly, "Have I been suppressing this for too long? Why do I keep thinking about..."

At the same time, her fair hands kept calming her emotions, trying to calm herself down quickly.

But the memories of last night kept replaying in her mind, like sticks stirring up her heart.

"I wouldn't say I like him..."

Miyano Akemi muttered to herself, somewhat bewildered, "I'm just happier...that's all..."

To be precise, it was the happiest experience Miyano Akemi had since her parents' passing... a brief period of forgetting everything, whether forced or voluntary, she ultimately immersed herself completely in it...

Akemi Miyano recalled those heartfelt declarations of love, each one warming her heart.

Without a doubt, he truly loved her.

And she...

Gradually, Akemi Miyano's movements slowed down, and her mood calmed down.

However, the emotions that were about to be vented were also affected by this calmness, getting stuck in the heart and unable to be released.

"Ugh……"

Akemi Miyano sighed, straightened her clothes, washed her hands, and walked out of the bathroom.

"what happened?"

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Chu Zhong sensed something was wrong and hugged Miyano Akemi in his arms.

Based on Chu Zhong's observations, it's normal for women to become more clingy when they don't have a "wise man's time."

"Nothing, just..."

Miyano Akemi turned to the side and hugged Chu Zhong, resting her head on his shoulder, "I just suddenly missed you so much..."

“Then…” Chu Zhong’s hand gently stroked the hem of her dress.

It seems I was mistaken just now; Akemi has indeed become more clingy.

"Hmm~" Miyano Akemi responded.

So, Chu Zhong took Mingmei to the room he rented next door, took off his mask, drew the curtains, and had her sit at the clean dining table.

But even more pristine was her fair and delicate skin, spotless and carrying a familiar, subtle fragrance…

[Triggered the Golden Body set effect, Mana +1... Mana +1...]

Soon, Chu Zhong's mana began to recover at a steady, moderate pace.

Akemi Miyano's pent-up emotions were quickly released, and a smile returned to her face.

However, just over ten minutes later, under the intense influence of magic, Miyano Akemi released the pressure twice more.

As her strength waned, Miyano Akemi's hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, but the magic showed no signs of stopping and continued to unleash its power.

In the blink of an eye, it was 9:10.

"Lord Chu~"

Akemi Miyano's originally cheerful call gradually became more pleading.

Chu Zhong knew when to stop, since his magic power had already been fully restored and he had already bought some time.

Perhaps to replenish her energy, Akemi Miyano asked for a serving of jelly at the end.

After the temporary pause, at Miyano Akemi's request, Chu Zhong took her back to the third floor of the Mori family home to continue waiting.

The two sat on the sofa, snuggling together.

At this moment, Miyano Akemi completely transformed into a clingy kitten, hugging Chu Zhong's neck tightly with both hands.

Chu Zhong gently stroked Mingmei's back, letting her head rest against his chest.

In that moment of utter relaxation, coupled with the fatigue from the magical impact, Miyano Akemi's breathing gradually calmed down within two minutes, and she unknowingly fell asleep...

A triumphant smile appeared on Chu Zhong's lips.

The transaction with Gin will take place at 6 PM.

As long as time is stalled, Miyano Akemi, who cannot find the 1 billion yen, will naturally have no chance to see Gin.

Jingle Bell--!

Unfortunately, at 10 a.m., a phone call woke Miyano Akemi up.

To make matters worse, the call came from one of Miyano Akemi's 'accomplices' who robbed the armored truck.

"Hirota Masami, come over here and get your share of the money..."

Chapter 173 An Unsolvable Overt Scheme

Unexpectedly, without the detectives' involvement, the '1 billion yen' actually jumped out on its own.

Is there such a good thing?

"This is definitely a trap!"

Chu Zhong watched as Miyano Akemi wrote down the address and was about to leave, and stopped her.

The accomplice who robbed the armored truck with Akemi Miyano, and was responsible for driving it, actually called her to ask for a share of the loot after running off with all the money and losing contact for a day.

Something is obviously wrong.

"I need that money!"

Akemi Miyano was resolute, a stark contrast to her clingy, kitten-like demeanor before falling asleep.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Chu Zhong had no choice but to go to the meeting place with her.

On the way, Chu Zhong suddenly sensed something was wrong and whispered, "Since it's a joint operation, there will definitely be a division of spoils. Even if everything goes smoothly, you won't get more than a billion yen..."

unless……

Akemi Miyano's gaze was calm as she said indifferently, "With your help, whether they like it or not, each person can only take 10%!"

As expected, he intended to break the contract and betray his accomplice.

Chu Zhong wasn't surprised. After all, there was only so much money, and if they honestly divided the spoils, they definitely wouldn't be able to raise the amount Gin wanted.

Even Miyano Akemi was too kind-hearted and actually planned to share the money.

However, since the other two each took 10%, Akemi Miyano only received 800 million yen, leaving her short 200 million yen...

Akemi Miyano continued, "Over the years, I've invested my salary in stocks and made some money based on tips from some bank clients..."

With that, Miyano Akemi said with a grin, "Adding the 80 million yen you gave me, Chu-kun, it's just enough."

deliver???

Chu Zhong was both amused and exasperated. He never expected that Miyano Akemi would betray him.

As if worried he was angry, Miyano Akemi leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, coquettishly saying, "You said it yourself at breakfast this morning, that I'm more expensive than a billion yen..."

"At this rate, it's only 80 million yen, which is a great deal, right?"

Chu Zhong couldn't help but chuckle: "It is indeed very affordable..."

That money was originally stolen from Gin by him through a double-cross, so it's not a big deal that it's gone.
