Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Chu Zhong wanted to go there immediately and get rid of Vermouth because Mingmei had suffered so much.

But now, my magic power is almost gone...

In a regular instance, once the main character of the instance is killed, they will not even retain any memories once they return to reality.

But what is the mechanism of this large-scale multiplayer dungeon?

Whether it was the Bandage Mountain Villa or the Hot Spring Hotel with multiple people, Chu Zhong had no opportunity to conduct experiments.

After all, those who participated and died were all 'specific figures' related to the original case.

Chu Zhong was unsure whether a 'non-specific character' like Vermouth would lose her memories in reality after dying in the copy.

If he could truly lose his copy of the memory, Vermouth wouldn't remember his true identity, thus avoiding a lot of trouble...

[Time remaining for the mission: 23 minutes]

Time is running out.

Current mana: 32

After glancing at his remaining mana, Chu Zhong quickly made a decision. He slung his bag over his shoulder, picked up his shopping bag, and headed towards the dense aura of crows.

The 'crow' was hiding in a building, less than 100 meters away from the Hilton Hotel where it had previously stayed.

After entering the building, Chu Zhong did not head straight for 'Crow', but first wandered around the first floor for a while.

Finally, they used a spell to freeze the old man at the management office, and took the key to the power distribution room and a pack of tissues.

As long as there is no problem with the power supply, basically no one will go to the power distribution room.

Chu Zhong closed the door to the power distribution room, placed his backpack on the ground, and unzipped it.

Exposing her backpack, Miyano Akemi, curled up with her hands wrapped around her knees, a sign of her degeneration.

"where is this place?"

Akemi Miyano looked around with some confusion.

Chu Zhong didn't explain much. He took Miyano Akemi out of the backpack, laid the backpack flat on the ground, and sat down.

"Akemi, you're so cute~"

Looking at the petite and adorable Miyano Akemi in his arms, and knowing what was about to happen, Chu's heart skipped a beat.

"Lord Chu..."

Miyano Akemi noticed Chu Zhong's loving and intense gaze, and her face immediately turned red.

She had only shrunk in size, but her mind hadn't changed. After spending the last two days together, she immediately guessed Chu Zhong's intentions.

“No, you can’t…” Akemi Miyano shook her head vigorously. “This… will cause problems…”

Chu Zhong also noticed that Miyano Akemi, who should have been familiar with the routine by now, was noticeably nervous after her regression, her small body tense.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Chu Zhong gently comforted Miyano Akemi, saying softly, "Akemi, I won't hurt you..."

"I just... like you too much."

With her feelings conveyed, Akemi Miyano felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

At the same time, he recalled the panic and anxiety he had caught in Chu Zhong's eyes when he was on the verge of death, and then mixed it with the affection in Chu Zhong's eyes now...

"Then you...be careful...be cautious..."

Akemi Miyano's face was flushed, and there was still some tension in her eyes.

It's not that I don't trust Chu Zhong, it's just that some things are too different and don't match up at all, so it's obvious that it's unlikely to work.

If we force it, something unexpected might happen.

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

However, Chu Zhong soon proved with his actions that Miyano Akemi's worries were unnecessary.

With his mana almost depleted, Chu Zhong naturally needed to replenish his mana to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, which would also help him better deal with Vermouth.

Since he had chosen to let Mingmei help him restore his magic power, Chu Zhong would naturally be extra careful about what he did.

Having experienced being harassed by Xiao Xiao Lan in the hidden dungeon, Chu Zhong knew what to do.

The weapon, "Good Quality Aoki Stick," which serves as a medium to trigger set effects and is used as a tool, stands at a height of 1.8 meters in its fully unleashed form.

Chu Zhong usually only uses one-tenth of the seal.

The current level of liberation is only one-twentieth.

Chu Zhong will gradually adjust the measures to a suitable range based on the actual situation, trying to maintain them at a maximum critical value that is bearable without causing harm.

For Chu Zhong, the degree of liberation does not affect the experience; as long as a critical hit is achieved, the set effect can be triggered.

The important thing is that Akemi can only withstand this level of magical energy impact at present.

By relying on Akemi Miyano to withstand the impact of magical energy and then triggering the set effect, Chu Zhong's mana is slowly recovering.

"Lord Chu~ I never knew you had such a skill..."

Akemi Miyano was stunned into silence. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed such a thing could happen.

"I have done some research on human muscle control."

Chu Zhong casually made up an excuse, "It's just that the limitations of this kind of research are obvious and not known to outsiders."

Miyano Akemi also recalled Chu Zhong's incredible ability to recover quickly after being hit by a sniper bullet, and soon she was no longer surprised.

Or rather, there was no longer any attention to surprise.

Within a few minutes.

Chu Zhong's magic power had just recovered to 137.

"No, it can't be done..."

"Lord Chu~~~~"

Akemi Miyano called out softly in a sweet, childlike voice, then nestled in his arms, panting.

Chu Zhong also knew that, due to the degeneration, Mingmei's original magic resistance had also decreased.

Magic resistance is a barrier against external magical energy. When subjected to magical impact, the barrier will slowly wear down.

Once the barrier is depleted, the user will enter a state of magical vulnerability, and magical impacts will directly affect their mind.

In fact, when Chu Zhong triggered the set effect, he had already felt that Mingmei's magic resistance had decreased by at least one-third and the inner wall of the barrier had become much thinner.

Reduced magic resistance means that the same amount of magic energy will have a stronger effect on Akemi.

To resist the effects of magical energy on her body, Akemi needs to expend physical strength to fight against it.

Unfortunately, Miyano Akemi, who has now degenerated, has had her magic resistance reduced and her stamina greatly diminished, so she naturally cannot maintain this state for long.

"Akemi, you've done a great job!"

Chu Zhong gently stroked Mingmei's beautiful hair, expressing his affection for her.

Even though it was only a few minutes, Mingmei persevered very hard during that time in order to help him recover his magical power.

The various expressions on Mingmei's lovely face stirred Chu Zhong's heart in a way he couldn't quite put into words. His affection was uncontrollable, and he could only prove it through his actions.

"Hmm~"

Akemi Miyano was clearly pleased with the praise, and responded with a soft and cute nasal tone.

Faced with something shrinking and becoming smaller, Akemi Miyano inevitably worries that her feminine charm will be greatly diminished, and that it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again.

As a result, Chu Zhong not only did not dislike her, but also loved and cherished her even more.

Holding her tightly in his arms, Akemi Miyano felt an even stronger sense of security than before.

It is said that if you like someone, no matter what they become, it will never change.

Now it seems that Lord Chu is such a person...

[Time remaining for the mission: 10 minutes]

As the dungeon was about to end, Chu Zhong was in the power distribution room, changing Miyano Akemi into the new clothes he had bought earlier.

Chu Zhong let Mingmei hide in the backpack again and then left the power distribution room.

After pinpointing Vermouth's exact location inside the building, Chu Zhong returned to the management office, returned the duplicated TV key and half a pack of tissues, and casually took another spare key.

[Time remaining for the mission: 5 minutes]

dong dong dong-

Chu Zhong quietly inserted the spare key into the door of a small office on the 13th floor, but did not turn it open.

dong dong dong-

He didn't say anything, he just knocked on the door.

The 'crow' inside the room cautiously pressed itself against the door.

If I'm not mistaken, the other side wanted to use the wall for cover so that if they forced their way in, they could launch a counterattack immediately.

Chu Zhong deliberately knocked on the door lightly, neither hurriedly nor loudly, very casually, so that it didn't sound like he intended to break in.

then……

Click——

Chu Zhong directly opened the door, raised his hand to freeze the 'crow' hiding by the door, and closed the door behind him.

Above the head of the unfamiliar 'raven', a line of text that only Chu Zhong could see appeared: [Leader-level - Vermouth]

Health: 20

"Is it her?"

Chu Zhong pulled off Vermouth's mask and asked Miyano Akemi to identify her.

"Yes, that's her disguised as the younger sister..."

Akemi Miyano peeked out of her backpack and saw the face that had brought her despair once again.

Chu Zhong immediately pushed Vermouth down, stepped on her back, making it impossible for her to get up or turn around.

Then he pulled out the Raven pistol:

Bang bang bang bang bang-!

He fired repeatedly at the back of the head.

In reality, two shots would be enough to kill someone.

However, this is a dungeon, and only the Raven Pistol's special damage effect was triggered with a 15% probability.

-6000, -5820, 5711...

After the immobilization was lifted, damage numbers appeared above Vermouth's head every second.

boom!boom!

Less than two seconds after the immobilization was lifted, two gunshots suddenly rang out.

"Sake! Bloody Mary!"

Along with the gunshot, Vermouth shouted the name of the drink twice, and she already had a gun in her hand.

The two bullets, flying close to the ground, suddenly changed direction and shot towards Chu Zhong one after the other.

Shouting out the name of an alcoholic beverage while firing a gun will cause the bullet to curve. Chu Zhong had seen this mechanism before in the Vermouth instance.

Clearly, Vermouth in this large multiplayer instance also has some of the same instance mechanics... just like Gin's fully charged bullets.

The durability of the "Golden Embroidered Robe" has been reduced...

However, the two bullets failed to cause any damage to the golden armor's high defensive capabilities.

Chu Zhong kicked the gun out of Vermouth's hand, stepped on her back to prevent her from turning over, and quietly waited for her health to drop.

"..."

As instructed, Miyano Akemi covered her mouth with her small hand and dared not make a sound until Chu Zhong asked her a question.
