Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

The squid strands that dodged the attack landed and transformed into three slender, vibrant tentacles, which hooked their arms around each other in the air, ready to entangle something at any moment.

In addition, Kogoro took out a cigarette about the thickness of a carrot, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

He took a deep breath, letting the epic sensation fill his lungs, then exhaled a large cloud of thick white smoke, pungent and eye-irritating, briefly obscuring Chu Zhong's vision.

Whoosh whoosh!

Small steel balls, like bullets, shot out from the thick smoke.

-12

-15

The pain made Chu Zhong frown involuntarily, and his health, which was only 100, instantly dropped by a significant amount.

"An alcoholic, a smoker, and a gambler..."

"Looks like this is a props race..."

Chu Zhong muttered to himself, then noticed that the floor of the izakaya was getting longer at a constant speed, and he was getting further and further away from Kogoro.

In the far left corner of the counter, a horse is chewing on its fodder.

It seems that once Kogoro gets far enough away, he will ride away on horseback, and the dungeon challenge will end in failure.

In other words, just avoid all the obstacles and catch Kogoro!

A barrage of items rained down, dealing damage, applying crowd control, obstructing vision, forcing retreat...

Without agile skills and exceptional reaction speed, it's really hard to dodge.

But things were different in Chu.

"Certainly!"

With a raised hand and a distant pointing finger, Chu Zhong intended to use a spell to immobilize the target.

As long as Kogoro is immobilized...

However, nothing happened.

No golden light flew from his fingertips, and Chu Zhong's magical power remained unchanged.

Upon closer inspection, the reason was discovered: the distance was too far! The casting range was insufficient!

The maximum effective range of the immobilization spell is only 15 meters!

The distance between her and Kogoro was at least 30 meters, and it was getting farther and farther away.

-13

-11

While he was still in a daze, Chu Zhong was hit by two more steel balls, reducing his health to half.

Its feet were also entangled by tentacles, slowing its movement speed by 30%.

Snapped--!

There was another sound of beer bottles shattering, and the smoke obscured the view, making it impossible to see where the hole was.

Chu Zhong immediately realized the situation was dire.

He currently has no armor, his defense is still 0, every time he gets injured it is real damage, and his maximum health is only 100.

If this continues, my health will be depleted in less than half a minute, and I'll be kicked out of the dungeon!

I really underestimated this boss-level dungeon...

Chu Zhong was truly unwilling to be defeated like this.

Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, I quickly scanned my inventory and was shocked to find that the names of two items had changed:

"Family Chocolate" (formerly Love Chocolate): Throw it on the ground to eliminate nearby stains and increase movement speed by 10%.

Collect three sets to summon the Family Guardian.

"Broken Mirror Chocolate" (formerly Friendship Chocolate): Throw it on the ground to create a shard trap that continuously deals damage.

Collect three sets to summon the Family Destroyer.

Without thinking twice, Chu Zhong hurriedly threw a box of family-sized chocolates on the ground.

The beer beach, with a diameter of one meter, and the squid tentacles disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if wiped away by a powerful cleaning agent.

Whizzing--!

With his steps no longer hindered, Chu Zhong quickly turned to the side to dodge the small steel ball that flew through the air.

Then, the family guardian is summoned: Ran Mouri, made of pink chocolate.

Then, the family destroyer is summoned: Kogoro Mouri, made of brown chocolate.

Both summoned creatures are of normal height and have only 500 HP.

Every ten seconds, Chocolate Ran Mouri will clean the surrounding floor.

Every ten seconds, Chocolate Kogoro takes a deep breath, sucking away the white mist that fills the air. If beer or squid shreds fly by nearby, he will randomly intercept one and eat it.

The item brought out from the Demon King-level Ran Mouri dungeon has a counter effect in the current dungeon!

Is this the bond between father and daughter?!

Chu Zhong glanced at the inventory:

"Family Chocolate"*138, "Broken Mirror Chocolate"*127

More than enough!

Then, Chu Zhong waved his hand and summoned four more 'Ran Mouri' and 'Kogoro'.

The summoned creatures neutralized the incoming projectiles one after another.

Chu Zhong stood behind the human wall formed by summoned creatures, steadily moving forward.

However, as the distance closes, Kogoro behind the counter throws out props at an increasing speed.

After walking about ten meters, three props flew over in a second.

The summoned creatures' ability to dispel attacks was clearly insufficient, resulting in situations where they were entangled, fell into holes, or had their limbs pierced by small steel beads.

Fortunately, by this time, the distance between the two sides had come within Chu Zhong's control.

"Certainly!"

The burst of golden light instantly restricted Kogoro's movements, preventing him from throwing out any obstacles that might hinder his progress.

Chu Zhong sensed the speed at which the golden light dissipated and estimated that a max-level immobilization spell could last for 28 seconds against a boss-level target.

With no obstacles in their path, Chu Zhong took the lead, guiding the remaining four summoned creatures forward.

It took only 10 seconds to reach the counter.

At this moment, there are still 18 seconds left before Kogoro's immobilization ends.

"OOLA OOLA OOLA!!!"

He instructed his summoned creatures to grab Kogoro's limbs and make him stand in a spread-eagle position.

Chu Zhong swung his fist and delivered a series of rapid, regular punches to Chu Zhong's heart.

-0, -0, -0

Since he didn't take out the "Willow Stick," he couldn't get the attack power bonus, so Chu Zhong couldn't cause any damage at all... right?

For Kogoro, who has a full 10,000 HP, this attack power isn't even enough to break through his defenses... is it?

Chu Zhong remained silent, only throwing rapid Euler punches.

With each attack, the stamina bar, which was only 50, was reduced.

When his stamina ran out, Chu Zhong had no choice but to stop and rest, and Kogoro also recovered from his immobilization.

-2850!

A conspicuous critical hit damage number suddenly appeared above Kogoro's head.

Blood gushed from Kogoro's mouth, and a negative status effect appeared next to his health bar: Heart - 3 stacks of Vulnerability, Defense reduced by 15%.

At this point, Chu Zhong smiled.

Then, he punched Kogoro in the stomach again.

-21

A damage number appeared.

In fact, this is the true damage from Chu Zhong's attacks.

Once the Immobilization skill is maxed out, it has three damage-adding modes.

The reason why all the damage dealt was zero just now is because of the first mode: instant burst!

In this mode, all damage dealt during the immobilization period will be accumulated and calculated the moment the immobilization ends!

During the ten-second immobilization, Chu Zhong threw at least fifty or sixty punches.

Each punch deals approximately 20 damage, and when accumulated, it deals at least 1000 damage.

It's equivalent to delivering a punch with 1000 attack power the instant the immobilization ends.

Keep in mind that a single punch from a Demon King-level character like Ran Mouri only deals around 300 damage.

Faced with this terrifying punch, Kogoro's defense was useless, and it struck directly at his heart, dealing massive critical damage.

Seeing that Kogoro's health had dropped by a quarter in the blink of an eye, Chu Zhong pressed his advantage and, once his stamina recovered, immobilized him once more.

28 seconds have passed.

The damage from Chu Zhong's hundreds of punches accumulated into a single blow, striking the heart's weak point once more. Furthermore, the increased damage from his vulnerable state resulted in:

-8600!

A terrifying damage number appeared, instantly depleting Kogoro's remaining health.

[Cleared the dungeon within three minutes, dungeon rating: S]

[Experience gained: 2000, Spiritual Essence gained: 2200]

Current Spiritual Energy: 60800

[Materials obtained: Cotton yarn *3, Cold Iron Leaf]

[Items obtained: 30 Old Drunkard Beer, 30 Old Drunkard Squid Strips, 10 Fried Lung Cigarettes, 30 Lucky Steel Balls, Police Handbook (unique in this instance)]

The first few props were quite ordinary and not very interesting.

Chu Zhong is particularly concerned about the last one:

"Police Handbook": A police handbook that was taken away after Kogoro Mouri resigned. Collecting the other item will trigger a unique dungeon mode in certain dungeons.

"A specific copy... could it be referring to Xiaolan?"

Recalling the changes in the chocolate props, Chu Zhong immediately guessed the answer.

Chapter 29 The strong will have great wisdom to persuade me.

The instance is closed, and everything in reality returns to its original state.

"I could tell at a glance... I could tell that guy was weird. He really was the murderer..."

In the dungeon, Kogoro Mouri suffered two powerful blows to his heart and died instantly. In reality, however, he simply clutched his heart, quickly regained his composure, and continued to boast about his crime-solving experiences.

Although Kogoro heard these details about solving the case from Conan on his way back.

Conan moved the stool to the window and looked down at the surrounding streets, seemingly waiting for something to return.

Chu Zhong sat on the sofa, pretending to listen to Kogoro's boasting, but in reality, it went in one ear and out the other, and his mind was on the matter of the dungeon.

This morning, by sheer chance, he brought Ran Mouri as an ally in the Sonoko dungeon, which unexpectedly triggered the dungeon's hidden mode. After clearing the dungeon, he received a large amount of experience rewards, as well as special costumes and items.

The police manual in his hand is likely the item that unlocks the hidden mode of the Ran Mouri storyline.
