Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

For example, Chu Zhong's previous behavior of escaping by relying on chocolate summons after being hit by a sniper rifle has been revised to him enduring the gunshot wound and carrying Miyano Akemi away.

The original plan to attack the Metropolitan Police Department and block the stairs with chocolate summoning objects was modified to block the stairs and the main entrance with various office desks, chairs, and cabinets, making it difficult for the police to break in.

What remains are the "resurrection" of some unspecified individuals.

In the revised memory, Chu Zhong did not kill Gin, Vermouth, and the others; he merely knocked them unconscious, leaving them with injuries that were not fatal.

In short, no one died in this instance... including the driver of the vehicle that was blown up by a rocket on the highway.

As for the remaining memories of encounters and confrontations, they all remain.

"Lord Chu, I'm sorry..."

In the back seat of the taxi, Miyano Akemi sat next to Chu Zhong, feeling extremely guilty.

Especially when he thought of the string of names Vermouth recited, he realized that those who could be used as threats were definitely people that Chu Jun cared about.

But because of her, he trusted his fake sister, exposing Chu Jun's true identity and putting those people in danger, facing pursuit by the organization...

Chu Zhong held Mingmei's soft and lovely little hand and chuckled, "There's no point in saying sorry at a time like this."

"Don't worry, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet."

Based on the information Vermouth revealed before her 'death,' her true identity has not yet been reported.

There are essentially two reasons.

Firstly, Vermouth was already a traitor, harboring a secret intention to overthrow the brewery.

Secondly, this news was only learned from Akemi Miyano and has not been fully confirmed.

Last time, Shinichi Kudo warned the brewery not to mess with Ran Mouri and the others.

Without solid evidence, Vermouth would not, and dare not, act rashly.

"So... what are your plans next, Lord Chu?"

Akemi Miyano asked in a low voice.

"after……"

Chu Zhong leaned close to Mingmei's ear and told her his plan.

Now that Akemi is in this state, it's difficult for her to live independently. She definitely can't go back to her previous rented apartment, and she can no longer use her 'Hirota Masami' identity. She's completely unregistered.

Therefore, Chu Zhong plans to...

"Huh?" Miyano Akemi was taken aback and asked in confusion, "But if I'm like this, what if the organization recognizes me in the future? It will only bring danger, won't it?"

Miyano Akemi never expected that Chu Zhong would actually plan to let her stay at the home of the famous lawyer, Kisaki Eri.

"Don't worry, Akemi, I'll take care of everything."

Chu Zhong gently rubbed her little head.

Indeed, even if Miyano Akemi shrinks, it will be difficult for her to escape the Black Organization's investigation; they only need to find photos of her as a child for comparison.

But this is contingent on the people at the distillery realizing that drug A can shrink people... at the very least, Vermouth needs to realize it.

Now that 'Shinichi Kudo' is still alive, there is no precedent for him shrinking, so even Vermouth wouldn't think that way.

In the worst-case scenario, even if Vermouth discovers the truth, as long as Chu Zhong is still alive, she will not dare to act rashly.

Not to mention that she is Vermouth, and there is a great deal of maneuvering between different places.

Chu Zhong planned to use some more smokescreens in a couple of days to further confuse Vermouth's judgment and complicate the situation.

"By the way, Akemi, I don't want to hide anything from you, so there are some things I need to explain in advance..."

Chu Zhong leaned close to Ming Mei's ear and told her about some of his relationships, such as with Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi.

There's no point in hiding something like this.

To be precise, since Akemi will be living with Eri from now on, it's impossible to hide it from her now, so it's better to be open and honest and make it clear beforehand.

As for whether Akemi will be angry?

Chu Zhong wasn't too worried.

In Japan, male chauvinism is rampant, with a worship of the strong, a disregard for etiquette and law, and a fear of power rather than virtue.

Leaving aside history, even now, there are instances of governments organizing women to provide assistance to foreign troops stationed in their countries.

This kind of education that idolizes the strong has deeply brainwashed generations of people in Japan, making them worship the strong and money.

Akemi Miyano, who received her education in Japan from a young age, must have been greatly influenced by it.

Furthermore, Japan has an open social atmosphere and a thriving related industry, so people are somewhat used to it by what they see and hear.

Otherwise, Ran and Sonoko wouldn't have been able to cooperate and act together so smoothly.

Even Eri Kisaki, whether openly or subtly, hinted at the special menu items available at Chu Zhong...

"Mingmei, I truly love you..."

Of course, Chu Zhong also knew that, in addition to cultural influence, sincerity and strength were even more important.

After conveying her feelings, Akemi Miyano felt a little shy, "Actually... there's nothing wrong with this..."

Miyano Akemi would never doubt Chu Zhong's affection for her, as he had proven it many times through his actions during the past few days.

In fact, when she learned the situation, Akemi Miyano secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even under normal circumstances, she would have a hard time processing Chu Zhong's overwhelming affection, let alone in this state.

If no one helps her, she's afraid she'll...

"It's normal for girls to like someone as outstanding as Chu Jun."

Akemi Miyano continued, "As long as you remember your sister, that's enough."

I didn't expect Akemi to accept it so quickly.

"Shiho's matter can't be rushed..."

Chu Zhong was secretly pleased and reminded Mei Mei to be patient.

6 pm.

Chu Zhong led Miyano Akemi back to Eri Kisaki's apartment and opened the door with a key.

dong dong dong-

As I was changing my shoes in the entryway, I heard footsteps approaching. I looked up slightly and saw that it was Eri Kisaki.

"Lord Chu...and who is this?"

Eri called out softly and tenderly, and was about to get closer when she noticed a short figure next to Chu Zhong. She immediately stopped and looked him up and down.

"She is the younger sister of a friend of mine. She was transferred to another country for work and asked me to take care of her for a while."

Chu Zhong had already prepared his reason: "It's not really appropriate for me, a man, to take care of a little girl. I think it's better to stay here..."

Secondly, he's basically staying with Eri now, and Ran is too... staying elsewhere isn't as convenient for farming dungeons.

As they were talking, Ran Mouri also came to the entrance and heard what Chu Zhong said.

"The little girl is so cute! How old is she? What's her name?"

Ran Mouri, with a gentle smile, half-squatted in front of Akemi Miyano, their eyes level, radiating friendliness.

"My name is..." Miyano Akemi answered in a somewhat unaccustomed, childish voice, "My name is Haibara Shizuka, and I am nine years old."

“It’s Shizuka, what a lovely name~” Ran Mouri said, noticing her mother’s expression, and quickly led ’Shizuka Haibara’ into the living room.

Only Chu Zhong and Fei Yingli remained in the entryway.

"Eri, Jing is a very well-behaved and sensible child..."

Chu Zhong also noticed that Fei Yingli's complexion was not good, but assumed that she did not like children.

Before he could even explain two sentences, Eri grabbed his collar.

"Lord Chu!"

Eri Kisaki's eyes were sharp as she interrogated him like a criminal, demanding, "Is that Shizuka Haibara related to you by blood?!"

"Huh? Blood relation? How is that possible!"

Chu Zhong was completely taken aback that Eri Kisaki would think such a twisted thing: "How old am I? How could I possibly be related to Xiao Jing by blood?"

"Even if there is one, it could only be a sibling relationship... Eri, why are you so angry?"

Eri Kisaki snorted coldly and released her grip. "You'd better really not... What are you doing!"

Eri Kisaki scolded in a low voice.

Because Chu Zhong just stole a kiss from her!

This is the entrance hall; what if Xiaolan sees this...?

Chu Zhong grinned mischievously, "If we don't get intimate now, who knows when we'll have to wait?"

"Eri, I've missed you so much these past few days..."

During their last phone call, Chu Zhong sensed that Fei Yingli was somewhat resentful and even suspected that he was seeing other women.

My current unhappiness is most likely related to this matter.

Reasoning with people won't work in this situation; you can only coax them.

Chu Zhong grasped Eri's hand, "Eri, how about we... tonight..."

The previously agreed-upon agreement has been delayed for quite some time.

As a result, Chu Zhong's hand was shaken off.

"Today is not a good day!"

After uttering a somewhat cold remark, Eri Kisaki turned and walked towards the living room.

Oh no! I didn't expect Eri Kisaki to dislike children so much!

Chu Zhong sensed something was wrong and quickly followed. He found that after Fei Yingli entered the living room, she sat directly next to 'Xiao Jing' and asked Xiao Lan to continue preparing dinner.

Knowing that Eri was upset, Chu Zhong could only sit on the sofa next to her and observe.

It turned out that Eri Kisaki cared a lot about Shizuka, and when checking household registrations, she would usually ask about her family situation.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong had already rehearsed his statement with 'Haibara Shizuka' beforehand and made some modifications based on the actual situation of the Miyano family:

—After the death of her parents, Shizuka Haibara and her older sister depended on each other for survival from a young age.

Then, Eri Kisaki asked about the details of Shizuka's mother.

"?"

What Chu Zhong didn't understand was that when 'Shizuka Haibara' said that her mother was British, Eri Kisaki turned her head and glared at him.

Feeling inexplicably glared at, Chu Zhong couldn't help but glance back.

[Leader-level - Eri Kisaki]

That's right, it's the real Eri Kisaki, not Vermouth in disguise.

After Eri asked about Haibara Shizuka's family situation, dinner was prepared.

The four of them sat around the dining table and ate dinner together.

During this time, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri frequently served food to Shizuka Haibara and showed concern for her well-being.

This only made Chu Zhong more confused.

Xiao Lan is easy to talk to. She's been used to taking care of people since she was little, so she's prone to overflowing maternal love. It's normal for her to care about the seemingly young 'Xiao Jing'.

Why is Eri Kagi like this too?

Doesn't she hate children?

After dinner, it's time to take a shower.

Eri Kisaki soaked in the bathtub, her face filled with resentment, muttering to herself, "That bastard, I wonder which era he's traveled to these past few days..."

"They actually brought back such a grown daughter."

"And yet, she's so cute... Damn it..."
