Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

To verify his suspicions, Chu Zhong quickly took a shower, put on his pajamas, and went to the third floor of the Maoli house.

Upon entering the living room, one sees Kogoro and Conan.

"Xiaolan is taking a shower. Sit down and wait."

Kogoro, who was watching TV, looked up and said something.

Chu Zhong smiled slightly, "I'm not here to see Xiao Lan."

"Not looking for Ran? Then you should look for..." Kogoro said, then suddenly widened his eyes.

As if by magic, Chu Zhong produced a bottle of wine from behind his back.

Kogoro suddenly stood up, overjoyed. "Where did you buy this sake?! It used to be my favorite drink..."

Chu Zhong quickly made a shushing gesture and pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

Kogoro lowered his voice, "...This sake was discontinued a few years ago and has been unavailable for a long time. Where did you get it?"

Actually, it's the Old Drunkard Beer that drops in the dungeon.

Chu Zhong simply said that he saw it by chance while shopping in the afternoon and bought the last bottle on a whim.

I sensed something was wrong while we were eating, so I didn't dare take it out in front of Xiaolan.

"It's such a coincidence that I can easily buy the wine I like!"

Kogoro laughed heartily, put his arm around Chu Zhong's shoulder, and immediately tried to pull him down to sit for a drink.

Chu Zhong pointed towards the bathroom again, politely declining, "It's not safe here. Detective Mouri, why don't you go to the bedroom for a drink... I have things to do tomorrow, so I won't drink."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Really not staying a little longer?" Kogoro asked in surprise, winking as he said, "Ran should be finished taking a bath soon."

Chu Zhong smiled, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

The purpose of this trip, bringing wine, was merely a pretext; the real aim was to verify my suspicions.

After some operations in the system panel, Chu Zhong discovered that gifting equipment was just like in an RPG game.

Within a certain distance, you can help your target teammate put on or take off their equipment, including setting whether the equipment can be seen.

Having obtained the answer, there's naturally no need to linger.

As for Xiaolan... we'll see her again in tonight's dungeon.

"This is bad," Kogoro muttered to himself, stroking his beer bottle. "It seems like Chu Zhong doesn't have much interest in Ran..."

"He's not proactive at all. The date we agreed on hasn't happened at all..."

Hearing this, Conan, who had been ignored the whole time, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "A date? What do you mean?!"

"None of your business, kid." Kogoro said, taking his beer back to his room, then coming out to continue watching TV, waving his fist in threat: "If you dare to say anything in front of Ran later, you'll be in big trouble!"

Conan shrank back, quickly protecting his head, and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

A short while later, Ran Mouri came out of the bathroom, and it was Kogoro's turn to take a bath.

"Is something wrong?"

Ran Mouri was drying her hair when she saw Conan standing at the door, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Sister Lan, I don't want to hide it from you... Chu Zhong just secretly gave Uncle a huge bottle of beer..."

After saying that, Conan shrank back, "Uncle told me not to say anything just now..."

Ran Mouri didn't speak, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Finally, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "I understand."

Conan paused, seemingly surprised: "Ran-neechan, Uncle is going to drink again, it's bad for his health..."

Ran Mouri scoffed, "Conan, stop gossiping all day long!"

"Aren't you just trying to sow discord between me, Chu Zhong, and Dad?"

"I hate people like you who like to tattle and think they're so smart!"

boom--!

Conan stood outside the door, his face bitter, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "It's all Chu Zhong's fault! He deliberately framed me!"

"Still trying to sweet-talk Xiaolan!"

"We need to find an opportunity to remind Xiaolan using our original identity!"

As midnight approached, the clock struck midnight.

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Demon King-level Ran Mouri dungeon activated]

Current Spiritual Energy: 56800

[A new scene, "Wedding Scene," is available in this instance. Would you like to switch?]

[The boss in this dungeon has outfits to choose from. Would you like to switch?]

[Note: Switching scenes may change some dungeon completion conditions.]

Chapter 32: The fight at the wedding is a testament to their love.

After clearing the hidden mode of the Garden dungeon, two new outfits for the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan were unlocked:

One is a formal dress, the other a wedding gown.

Unexpectedly, a new dungeon scene was unlocked.

Since it's a wedding ceremony, let's choose a wedding dress for the attire.

[The dungeon location has changed, and the boss's outfit has changed.]

[Use the default atmosphere group?]

Atmosphere group?

Chu Zhong looked at the settings panel and found that it was just like the wedding guests, not much different from the fan support group at the martial arts competition venue.

Chu Zhong just doesn't like being stared at... not even when he's asleep.

Previously, when he fought with the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, he always chose to do it at night and even used summoned creatures to act as a chocolate wall.

Seeing a 'clear' option in the atmosphere settings, Chu Zhong selected it without hesitation.

[Atmosphere setup complete, dungeon open...]

As the surrounding scenery shifted, Chu Zhong arrived at the wedding venue once again.

It was indeed the final scene from the previous garden instance:

In the spacious back garden of the Suzuki Estate, the grass is lush and green, and in the center is a temporary lectern where the priest reads the marriage vows and acts as the witness.

Behind the podium was a wedding arch made of pure white flowers.

On either side of the stage were rows of neat guest seats, with a red carpet covered with flower petals in the middle, which was particularly fragrant.

Further away, there are long tables covered with white cloth, champagne towers, and luxurious wedding cakes.

The event also featured a renowned pianist and a live band.

At this moment, only two figures were present at the wedding:

Chu Zhong, who had just entered the instance,

And Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, standing on the red carpet in her wedding dress.

"I'm definitely going to beat you this time!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan flung away the bride's bouquet and charged forward with a loud shout.

"Wait! We can talk!"

Chu Zhong quickly waved his hand, signaling a temporary truce.

At the same time, I glanced at the health bar above the head of the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan: 120 million!

A whopping 120 million! That's almost double the health it had before!

"There's nothing to talk about. We're here to fight!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan kept walking and strode after him.

However, the speed was much slower than before.

Chu Zhong quickly realized that it was her high-heeled crystal wedding shoes that were affecting her running speed.

Moreover, this area is grassy, ​​away from the red carpet area, and the heels are prone to sinking.

Perhaps because the appearance was pre-designed, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan didn't seem to have considered taking the initiative to untie the shoes.

This also gave Chu and Zhong the opportunity to negotiate.

"We're already married, there's no need to keep talking about fighting and killing each other."

Chu Zhong started using the seating area as an obstacle, running in circles with the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

"But I'll only agree to marry you if I fight you!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan said matter-of-factly, "Besides, Sonoko also said that we should have a big fight here!"

"They even say this is a way to prove their love!"

Ah this...

Chu Zhong strongly suspects that when the copy of Sonoko said that, that was not what she meant.

Regardless of the specific meaning, Chu Zhong would ultimately interpret it as the same thing.

"We can make a deal!"

Chu Zhong suggested, "If you surrender this time, I'll surrender next time. We'll each win once, it's perfectly fair, what do you say?"

The main concern is that the impact on Xiaolan in real life would be too great.

If Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, could surrender and admit defeat, that would be perfect, as it would give her a day off.

It's said that each person can surrender once, but when it's Chu Zhong's turn, he can switch back to the original three-round battle, surrendering only one round and winning two, and still get the reward.

As for not opening dungeons... of course, that's impossible!

Besides Vermouth, whom I met at Teitan High School, there are countless other members of the brewery operating in Beika City.

Chu Zhong desperately wants to become stronger, gather materials, accumulate spiritual energy, and craft equipment!

The Demon King level dungeon offers the most generous rewards.

Not running a dungeon for a day is like watching tens of thousands of experience points, spirit essence, and materials slip away.

Although Conan and Professor Agasa are both top-tier geniuses, one focuses on deduction and the other on technological invention, so it's unlikely they'll receive the highest score reward.

Ran Mouri's instance is different; it's all about fighting, simple and straightforward, without so many twists and turns.

I don't care for victories that are given to me as charity!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, paused after speaking, "Unless you stand still and let me hit you like last time! If I'm in a good mood... I'll let you have a turn."

Chu Zhong shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

Last time was a special case, when both sides' combat power was reduced to zero, which is why they dared to withstand the 'beating' from the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan.

Even with an extra piece of armor, my defense is only 70, but my health is still 100.

If the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan were to throw a punch at him, he would surely die.

"Xiao Lan, you've lost several times already, you should know you're no match for me."

Chu Zhong continued to persuade him, "If we really fight, we'll just repeat the same mistakes. There's no need to waste time."

Undeniably, Chu Zhong did want to spar with Xiao Lan, who was dressed as a bride and was obsessed with martial arts.

But considering Xiaolan's situation in reality, she still needs to be given a chance to rest.
