Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

The violent cough caused Chu Zhong's neck to turn visibly red.

However, from his chin to his forehead, his complexion remained normal.

This single suspicious point alone would easily be noticed by someone with a discerning eye, who would discover that 'Chu Zhong' was actually someone else in disguise.

But Chu Zhong did the opposite of what was expected, molding the disposable disguise mask to resemble himself and wearing an identical mask on his face.

While coughing, Chu Zhong quickly lowered his head, pretending to be worried about being exposed.

But 'inadvertently', her reddened ears and neck were revealed, contrasting sharply with her normal skin tone on the side.

This detail was also noticed by the observant Ran Mouri, whose eyes lit up immediately.

"Lord Chu, are you alright?"

'Ran Mouri' immediately got up, sat down next to Chu Zhong, and gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.

Chu Zhongqi had calmed down and stopped coughing. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and kept his head down.

"About watching the movie later..."

Ran Mouri pressed for an answer.

"Um……"

Chu Zhong nodded in agreement.

"So, what movie would you like to watch later, Mr. Chu?"

'Ran Mouri' continued to ask questions.

Chu Zhong, with his head down, understood that Vermouth was simply trying to entice him to speak in order to reveal his 'true' voice.

Chu Zhong also wanted to 'show his true colors'.

But it can't be done so directly and easily.

So he hooked his right hand to his side, encircling Ran Mouri's waist, and his fingers began to climb up along her waistline.

"Lord Chu~"

Ran Mouri called out shyly, immediately blocking the large hand, "Don't tease me in a place like this~"

Chu Zhong ignored him, his large hand still moving up and down restlessly.

However, she was quickly pinned down by Ran Mouri with both hands.

Ran Mouri said in a slightly reproachful whisper, "Honestly, Chu Jun, we could have gone to the movie theater later..."

She wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite willing to accept it.

"Which movie theater would you like to go to, Lord Chu?"

Faced with Ran Mouri's repeated inquiries...

Chu Zhong still didn't answer, but freed his other hand and made a move to hug her.

Ran Mouri, however, deftly twisted her body and stood up immediately, trying to escape his embrace in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, the golden light that only Chu Zhong could see instantly enveloped Ran Mouri, causing her to fall into a state of complete stillness.

As the golden light dissipated, Chu Zhong had already firmly wrapped his arms around the slender waist of 'Ran Mouri' who had almost escaped, pulling her back into his embrace, their chests pressed against each other's backs.

Two large hands jumped up and down impatiently, eager to fully appreciate 'Ran Mouri's' beautiful figure.

"Lord Chu! If you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry!"

'Ran Mouri' warned in embarrassment and anger, raising her voice a few decibels, and repeatedly trying to stop the large hands with both hands.

However, no matter how much you try to prevent it, there will always be times when you are not prepared in time.

Compared to feeling taken advantage of, Ran Mouri, who had her back to Chu Zhong, did not show any anger in her eyes, but rather a faint fear.

A fear of wanting to escape but being unable to, of being caught in the blink of an eye, and of being treated like prey.

The last time I felt this kind of fear was when I was facing the completely transformed 'Shinichi Kudo'...

Meanwhile, some of the restaurant's customers, having heard Ran Mouri's warning, turned to look at her one after another.

This immediately forced Chu Zhong to pause, and he reluctantly let go.

Then, in a slightly hoarse voice, still hoarse from coughing, he said, "Don't...don't be angry..."

Chu Zhong stared at the back of Vermouth's head, suppressing a laugh as he brought his left hand, which held the transformation device, to his mouth, feigning panic in his voice:

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

"I lost control for a moment..."

Upon hearing him speak, Ran Mouri immediately stood up and turned to leave.

"Xiaolan!"

Chu Zhong quickly grabbed Ran Mouri's wrist with his right hand, pretending to be anxious to make amends after making a mistake.

This time, his voice was no longer so hoarse, and the vocal quality that belonged to 'Shinichi Kudo' was clearer.

"Chu-kun~" Ran Mouri's face still didn't show any anger, but rather a hint of shyness, "Of course I like you too."

"They were thinking of booking a room at the hotel next door... Chu Jun, you stay here and finish your meal so you'll have the energy later~"

Chu Zhong pretended to believe this nonsense and reluctantly let go of her hand.

After watching 'Ran Mouri' leave.

Chu Zhong could no longer hide the smile on his lips.

After this meeting, Vermouth will definitely think that he is Shinichi Kudo in disguise!

This will further confirm that Shinichi Kudo intends to use the organization to eliminate 'Chu Zhong'.

At the same time, one might wonder why Shinichi Kudo, who is so powerful, elusive, and could easily defeat Gin, didn't personally deal with Chu Zhong.

Faced with this bizarre situation, the Raven Organization would certainly not act rashly.

Even if they really intend to do something, the worst-case scenario would be that they're targeting 'Chu Zhong'.

They dared not approach the incredibly dangerous 'Shinichi Kudo,' nor dared to touch the person 'Shinichi Kudo' was protecting.

However, if you're going to put on an act, you should go all the way.

After finishing his meal, Chu Zhong paid the bill and sat by the window, waiting for what seemed like forever.

I waited for a full half hour before leaving, feeling quite annoyed.

And this scene,

She was also observed by Vermouth, who was hiding in an empty room on the fourth floor of the building across the street, using binoculars.

"Wearing a mask, revealing one's true voice..."

"Plus, he looked like a monkey who'd never eaten meat before..."

"I don't even dare to call a real Angel to verify."

Vermouth gritted her teeth: "It must be Shinichi Kudo in disguise!"

“That kid Chu Zhong has been with Angel for a long time… how could he possibly cause trouble like this in public?”

Vermouth grew increasingly ashamed and angry: "If I hadn't been cautious this time and hadn't used extra padding, I wouldn't have suffered this loss..."
