Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Looking at the woman who had previously pointed a gun at her forehead and brought her despair, she was now powerless to resist Chu Zhong.

"Lord Chu~"

Suddenly, Chu Zhong heard Miyano Akemi lean close to his ear and whisper in an extremely soft and gentle voice.

"what happened?"

Chu asked in a voice that only they could hear.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Miyano Akemi said sweetly, "It's so nice to have met Chu-kun~"

If it weren't for Chu Zhong, she probably would have died from the intense effects of the drug A, or from Gin's gun...

Chu Zhong's appearance brought her real hope... as well as joy and peace of mind she had never imagined.

"Chu Zhong, why aren't you saying anything?"

Vermouth's voice suddenly rang out, sneering, "I know it's you! You want revenge for Miyano Akemi, right?!"

"I never expected you to be so well-hidden. Let me guess, could that 'Shinichi Kudo' also be someone you're impersonating?"

Chu Zhong frowned slightly, ignored him, and continued to press down on him.

Akemi Miyano, standing behind, looked guilty.

If she hadn't been tricked into revealing information by the 'fake sister,' Chu Jun's identity wouldn't have been exposed...

"Chu Zhong, you are a smart man. You should know that my death will not do you any good."

"I have sent a text message with your real identity to another phone."

“Kill me, and your identity will be exposed. People connected to you will also die because of it: Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, Eri Kisaki, Kogoro Mouri…”

Hearing this, Akemi Miyano felt even more guilty, realizing just how much trouble she had caused.

"..." Miyano Akemi glanced at Chu Zhong cautiously, not daring to speak.

Chu Zhong remained silent and did not respond to Vermouth's words.

With one foot still pressing down on Vermouth's back, he bent his other leg, leaned forward, and pressed his knee firmly against the Thousand-Faced Witch's neck.

"Uh uh uh……"

Vermouth suddenly found it hard to breathe and couldn't speak.

Chu Zhong felt he had made a stupid mistake again, really.

Seeing those hundreds of thousands of health points, I instinctively thought that shooting was the fastest solution.

We've wasted several bullets, which is equivalent to throwing away thousands of spiritual energy.

Furthermore, the Raven Pistol's special effect damage is 3% of the 'current health' per second, so it will take quite a while for Vermouth to bleed to death.

[Time remaining for the mission: 3 minutes]

They completely forgot that, whether in reality or in a dungeon, whether at the level of a minor demon or a demon immortal, as long as one is human, one cannot live without oxygen.

They should have cut off Vermouth's oxygen supply from the beginning; it would have saved time and effort, and they wouldn't have had to listen to her rambling nonsense.

As for killing Vermouth?

Chu Zhong indeed dared not.

It's just a small punishment for Vermouth in the dungeon, to help Mingmei vent her anger.

If we could erase those memories, that would be the best outcome.

"Uh……"

Unable to breathe, Vermouth struggled wildly with her hands and feet, her body tensing and trembling uncontrollably.

The body's subconscious desire for 'survival' attempts to shake off what's weighing on its back.

But the immense force remained unmoved, clearly intending to kill her.

Vermouth, who had just been talking confidently and trying to threaten Chu Zhong with her true identity, now showed uncontrollable panic on her face and disbelief in her eyes.

Has Chu Zhong gone mad?!

For the sake of Akemi Miyano, he didn't care at all about the lives of Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and others...

He's such a heartless person...

Or rather... he wasn't Chu at all...

Overwhelmed by regret and the agony of being unable to breathe, the light in Vermouth's eyes gradually faded, and she fell into complete silence.

[Defeat Boss-level Vermouth, gain 8000 experience and 8800 spirit essence]

Upon hearing the notification sound, Chu Zhong left the office without looking back, took the elevator, and left the building.

One minute later.

[Mission complete. The large-scale multiplayer dungeon "Crimson Pursuit Order" is closing...]

[Anomalies being corrected...]

[Memory transfer complete!]

I do not know how long it has been,

In the office, Vermouth opened her eyes again, touched her neck, then the back of her head that was a little sore, her expression filled with surprise and uncertainty:

"What's going on? Are you deliberately playing a trick on me?"

Recalling what had just happened,

Hearing the knocking, she hid by the wall, only to find that the person had a key. They opened the door unexpectedly, knocked her down in the blink of an eye, and struck her hard on the back of the head.

Then his neck was pressed down, making it impossible for him to breathe...

"Is that guy really Chu Zhong?"

Vermouth frowned, completely baffled.

She was pinned to the ground and couldn't turn around or see the attacker's face. Remembering the information Miyano Akemi had given her, she subconsciously guessed it was Chu Zhong.

But the attacker completely ignored the threat, and even after hearing it, he attacked her with even greater force, clearly intending to kill her.

It was as if... their 'true identity' was about to be exposed.

When she lost consciousness, Vermouth thought she had guessed the attacker's identity wrong and was going to die there.

Surprisingly, I survived...

"Something's wrong..."

The near-death experience left Vermouth shaken and her thoughts in disarray...

Chapter 186 Luckily, there were helpers; Eri was jealous.

[Dungeon quest countdown has ended...]

As soon as Chu Zhong left the building, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[Core dungeon quest completed. Number of demons eliminated: 5, including 1 boss-level, 3 leader-level, and 1 demon king-level]

【获得经验值：5000+8000*3+10000=39000，获得灵蕴：42900】

They just gave out a reward like that?

No dungeon rating?

Chu Zhong discovered that he had already 'obtained' the experience points and spiritual essence he received as a reward once when he killed Gin and the others.

Now, after the dungeon settlement, I've received another reward. In total, from this single large-scale multiplayer dungeon, I've gained nearly 100,000 experience and spirit essence, more than from any previous dungeon.

Chu Zhong's level has been raised again.

[Costs 1 skill point, increases maximum mana: 200 → 210]

After being chased by the distillery, Chu Zhong felt increasingly that his magical power was insufficient.

[Items dropped by defeating demons: Vodka, Car Driving Guide, Volume Two, Volume Three...]

This is... a continuous drop?

I obtained the Driving Guide, Volume One, a long time ago.

Chu Zhong had never taken a driving test. Before, at the airport, he could drive Sato Miwako's car using the Driving Guide Volume 1.

Volume One consists entirely of written theoretical knowledge, and Chu Zhong's comprehension skills are already quite good; he grasped the basic driving rules in the blink of an eye.

Now that I've obtained Volumes Two and Three, if I learn them all, I'll surely become a skilled and experienced driver.

[...Disposable disguise masks *2...]

This was obviously dropped after killing Vermouth.

Chu Zhong was just about to run out of disguise masks.

But Chu Zhong also noticed that this time the drop rate was doubled... or rather, it was calculated twice, just like the experience reward.

[...Sniper Rifle Components - 1, 2, 3, 4...]

"Sniper Rifle Components": Collect 10 components to assemble the Sniper Rifle - Dark Hunter.

This should be the loot dropped by Chianti and Cohen. Both are snipers, and they dropped the same items.

[…Gin's Assassination Course, Volume 1: Tracking and Counter-tracking, Volume 2: Target Hunting]

Chu Zhong realized that the items dropped in this large-scale dungeon were all ordinary items, neither good nor bad.

However, both the driving skills and the knowledge of tracking and counter-tracking are very practical.

Moreover, the gains in experience and spiritual essence are very substantial.

Current Spiritual Energy: 185600

Chu Zhong now possesses nearly two hundred thousand spiritual resources.

[Successfully used item: Driving Guide, Volume 2, Learning progress: 0%]

Unlike when using Volume One, Volume Two requires actual driving to accumulate progress.

[Item successfully used: Assassination Course - Volume 1, Learning progress: 0%]

The same applies to assassination courses, which require completing tracking and counter-tracking training according to requirements.

It seems there's no way to get fat overnight.

[Core Quest Reward: "Toddler Photo"]

Chu Zhong glanced at the photo and found that there were two little girls in the photo, one under ten years old and the other about two or three years old.

The older little girl looks exactly like Akemi Miyano in the backpack.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the younger one is Shiho Miyano in her early childhood.

"Toddler Photo": This item can be used to activate the Little Fairy Level - Miyano Akemi - Upgrade Dungeon.

"Upgrade the dungeon" means, as the name suggests, that it refers to increasing the level of Miyano Akemi's yokai.

I never expected there to be this type of dungeon.

Chu Zhong had personally witnessed one instance of a monster's level being promoted: Kogoro, who was at the boss level, was promoted to leader level after experiencing the Gin instance.

Logically speaking, promotion should bring about changes in strength... However, Chu Zhong basically didn't have much time to spend with Kogoro, so he didn't have time to observe him.

Regardless, leveling up monsters is always a good thing. If you can level them up to boss level or higher, you can get an extra daily dungeon to farm.

However, Chu Zhong was unclear about the mechanics of the advancement dungeon. To avoid any unexpected issues, he planned to find some helpers and wait for the right time to team up and start the dungeon.

[The instance is currently closed...]

Just like when the instance opened, Chu Zhong didn't feel any change in the scene at all; the transformation had been completed silently.

[Anomalies being corrected...]

[Memory transfer complete!]

Since there was no opportunity to team up in this instance, Chu Zhong ultimately only obtained his own corrected memory.

Unlike others whose memories were overwritten, Chu Zhong, as the one who opened the instance, possessed memories both before and after the correction.

The unusual scenarios are basically related to chocolate summons and immobilization spells.
