Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Sonoko, however, became even more enthusiastic. "Ran, your face is suddenly so red. Do you have someone in mind?"

Finding the right person is not easy. You need to know each other well, have a good relationship, and also have someone you like.

"No!" Ran Mouri denied shyly.

"Could it be..." Sonoko thought and thought, then suddenly a name that fit all the criteria came to mind, "Could it be that I'm thinking of Princess Hibiki? Ran, what's wrong with you?!"

"The people I'm referring to are those around the same age!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri was so embarrassed that she hid her head under the water in the bathtub.

Such a strong reaction clearly meant that Sonoko had guessed correctly.

After a long pause, Ran Mouri surfaced and began to explain, "It's all because of that ridiculous dream I had earlier, and the misunderstanding just now, that's why..."

"Alright, alright, I know," Sonoko waved her hand to interrupt.

As her best friend of so many years, Sonoko naturally understands Ran Mouri's longing for family reunion.

It was definitely not Ran Mouri's intention to have such a strange thought.

Even after they finished bathing and came out of the bathroom, the two best friends did not discuss the 'suggestion' again.

However, Sonoko's persuasion worked, and Ran Mouri didn't rush to give Chu Zhong a grand thank you that night.

Tonight, there will be four groups taking turns to take a bath: Eri Kisaki, Chu Zhong, Shizuka Haibara, and finally Ran Mouri and Sonoko.

Each batch of baths takes about half an hour.

So by the time the two best friends returned to their room, it was already 10:30 p.m.

But Chu Zhong was nowhere to be seen in the room.

Logically speaking, Chu Zhong should be sharing a room with Xiao Lan starting tonight, and now that it's late, he should be back by now.

The two best friends thought for a moment, walked to the door of Shizuka Haibara's room, gently pushed it, and found that the door was ajar, so they opened it easily.

Sure enough, they found Chu Zhong in the room, already lying in bed asleep.

In Chu Zhong's arms was Haibara Shizuka, dressed in cat-themed pajamas, already fast asleep. Her little hands clutched Chu Zhong's robe, her small body curled up, a contented smile on her face…

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Sonoko quipped softly, "Kids are really good at being affectionate."

As she spoke, she nudged her best friend with her elbow, "That's good, we can get a good rest tonight."

11pm.

Om-!

When Chu Zhong was awakened by his phone's vibrating alarm, he found himself in complete darkness, surrounded by a fragrant aroma, and his head was covered by a warm, soft covering.

After careful observation, I realized it was Xiaolan's embrace.

Xiao Lan lay on her right side, sleeping with her head in her arms.

On his left is Sonoko, who is holding his other arm.

There was also a kitten in my arms.

Originally, after admiring Haibara Shizuka's adorable appearance, Chu Zhong thought he should stay with her a little longer and watch her fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, while keeping her company, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

What was even more unexpected was that Ran and Sonoko also came to join in the fun.

Thankfully, it was a double bed, and Ran and Sonoko even slept on their sides, otherwise it would have been really cramped.

As for why Chu Zhong changed the alarm clock, it was obviously to farm dungeons! Farming Haibara Shizuka's promotion dungeon!

[Consume the item "Toddler Photo" and 10000 Spirit Essence to activate the Lesser Demon Level - Miyano Akemi Advancement Dungeon?]

[Instance scenario under construction...]

Chu Zhong was very curious about what kind of changes Haibara Shizuka would experience if the monster successfully advanced in level.

[Players available for team play. Shall we team up to challenge the dungeon?]

[Selectable Team Members: Demon King-level Ran Mouri, Boss-level Sonoko Suzuki, Boss-level Eri Kisaki]

[Successfully formed a team with Demon King-level Ran Mouri, Boss-level Sonoko Suzuki, and Boss-level Eri Kisaki! A total of 3750 Spirit Essence was deducted.]

Chu Zhong immediately selected all three of them as teammates.

In terms of combat, there's the martial arts fanatic Ran; in terms of intelligence, there's the guild leader Sonoko; and if you encounter a logic puzzle, that's when the guild leader Eri comes to the rescue.

With such well-rounded teammates, Chu Zhong is confident that he can handle both the mechanics and combat in the dungeon.

Once the instance scene was completed, Chu Zhong found himself in an amusement park, with not a single tourist in sight.

Beside her were Ran, the martial arts fanatic, Sonoko, and Eri, who had already formed a team.

"Sister Fei!"

Martial arts fanatic Ran and Sonoko greeted Eri with smiles and friendly greetings.

Eri, the copycat, patted the two girls on the head with a loving smile.

Because of Chu Zhong, the three people in the instance are even closer than their real-life counterparts.

"What are your orders, Lord Chu?"

Eri Kisaki took the lead in asking questions, her eyes filled with love.

The same goes for the garden.

Needless to say, Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, had long been captivated by the profound realm of martial arts, and her gaze had turned into admiration and love.

Mission Objective: Protect Akemi Miyano as she leaves the amusement park.

Chu Zhong looked around but couldn't find Miyano Akemi.

The amusement park is quite large; finding Akemi Miyano will probably take some effort.

Furthermore, the mission prompt includes the word 'protect,' indicating that enemies will appear.

We need to find Akemi's location as soon as possible...

As he was pondering, Chu Zhong sensed a faint aura of crows within his perception range.

There were quite a few of them, scattered and constantly moving, seemingly searching for something.

So... the enemy is a member of the brewery?

"follow me!"

After glancing at the amusement park map by the roadside, Chu Zhong immediately headed towards a crow's aura that he had sensed.

The three women followed closely behind.

Soon, the four caught up with a member of the distillery who smelled of crows.

Strangely, the member of the distillery was a humanoid figure completely black, resembling the 'Blackie' used to refer to the murderer in the world of Detective Conan.

However, the 'crow' in front of us was even blacker, without any facial features, making it incredibly eerie.

[Leader-level member of the Raven Organization]

This member is a boss-level being with a full 3 HP.

"Ho-"

The members of the Raven organization also noticed Chu Zhong and his group, and immediately drew their black pistols from their waists.

boom--

The bullet that was fired was enveloped and bound by golden light in the next instant, and came to a standstill in mid-air.

Without Chu Zhong's instructions, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan rushed forward in the blink of an eye, and the words above her head changed from [Demon King Level] to [Quasi-Demon Immortal Level].

Although both her cultivation levels are unstable, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, can immediately increase her strength as soon as she enters combat mode.

-3000! -4200! -5600! ...

Once inside, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, generating ever-increasing damage numbers.

When a leader faces a half-step demon immortal, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

Within seconds, the [Boss-level Raven Organization Member] was defeated, leaving only a thin layer of black sand-like substance on the ground.

[Teammate successfully defeated the dungeon enemy, gaining 1400 experience and 1500 spirit essence] (+40% experience and spirit essence bonus for teammates, +10% spirit essence bonus for rare items)

After defeating one enemy, Chu Zhong continued without stopping, leading the other three to the next location of the crow's aura.

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

When Si arrived at the amusement park's broadcasting room, he had already dealt with four bosses and one leader-level enemy along the way.

With the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan taking action, coupled with Chu Zhong's immobilization technique, the problem was naturally solved with ease.

However, Chu Zhong also realized that the difficulty of this advancement dungeon was extraordinary, as even the lowest-level monsters were boss-level.

The higher the difficulty, the easier it is to fail.

We must find Mingmei as soon as possible and protect her!

Chapter 196 A Way to Express Love

The amusement park, which is part of the dungeon, is quite large and very spacious. Chu Zhong and his teammates make up a total of only four people.

With no clues at all, finding Miyano Akemi, who is hiding somewhere, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Splitting up is even more impossible, as the amusement park is filled with a large number of jet-black 'crows,' at least of which are leaders.

Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan are alright, but Eri and Sonoko have limited combat abilities and are likely to be in danger if they act alone.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong has already activated the dungeon garden skill and obtained detailed information about a very important dungeon-exclusive item.

The broadcast room has a "missing person notice" function; once activated, the exact location of the specified target will be immediately known.

Although it can only be used once, it is enough for Chu Zhong.

That's why I brought the other three people and rushed to the broadcasting room without stopping.

"Akami Miyano is located on the west side of the amusement park, inside the ball pit..."

After the "Missing Person Notice" was activated, announcements were broadcast throughout the entire amusement park.

This is also the biggest drawback of exclusive items; not only Chu Zhong, but also those 'crows' will know Miyano Akemi's exact location.

However, the information about the garden's exclusive items is very detailed, and Chu Zhong already knew about this issue.

So after obtaining the exact location, he immediately handed over the amusement park map he found along the way to Eri Kisaki.

"Eri, please find the shortest route."

Eri nodded and focused intently on examining the map.

In less than half a minute, two optimal routes were provided.

The first option is the shortest walking distance, but crows will likely rush there after hearing the broadcast.

If you choose this route, you are very likely to encounter a large number of crows.

The second route is more than three times the distance of the first route on paper. Its advantage is that it can utilize some amusement facilities for rapid movement, thereby indirectly shortening the time.

It can also reduce the probability of encountering crows on the road.

"Lord Chu, I believe the second route is more secure."

Chu Zhong nodded, agreeing with Eri's opinion.

"Eri, Sonoko, you two stay here."

Chu Zhong instructed, "Xiao Lan, let's go find someone together."

Two people traveling together is naturally faster and more convenient than four people.

If you encounter crows on the road, you can quickly get rid of them.

Forcing Sonoko and Eri to come along will only slow things down.

Now that the crows have gathered in the direction of Akemi, they will no longer search for unrelated facilities in the amusement park.
