Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"Almost forgot……"

Ran and Sonoko immediately shut up.

"Then keep your voices down and tell me what happened."

Eri Kisaki, however, became interested.

Chu Zhong could only nod helplessly, signaling Xiao Lan to recount the karate club's sparring session from yesterday.

Anyway, Sonoko and Ran have already revealed the main points, so now we're just going to talk about some more details.

Of course, the plot involving the infirmary will never be revealed.

"When you make a move, you should know your limits, leave room for maneuver, and not try to steal the limelight."

After hearing the whole story, Eri Kisaki's eyes showed a hint of appreciation. "It seems you are a very sensible person, much better than you... much better than some kid your age."

Upon hearing this, the same name came to mind for all three of them—Shinichi Kudo!

"Speaking of which, Shinichi is always nowhere to be seen, spending all his time getting involved in cases?"

Sure enough, Eri Kisaki's next sentence was about Shinichi Kudo.

"I heard they're going to investigate an important case..."

Ran Mouri nodded and relayed what she had heard from Professor Agasa.

"Yukiko is really easygoing, letting them grow up so freely..."

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki sighed.

The four chatted briefly before Eri Kisaki got up and left because she had work to do.

The three watched Eri Kisaki leave the dessert shop.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Chu Zhong also got up immediately and quickly chased after him to the door.

[Deduct 1000 Spirit Essence, Boss-level Eri Kisaki dungeon activated]

Having finally gotten a chance to meet with Eri, Chu Zhong remembered that he was missing an item to unlock the hidden dungeon mode, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

[Instance scenario under construction...]

This time, however, the way the dungeon unfolds is different from usual.

Standing at the entrance of the dessert shop, Chu Zhong noticed that the porcelain shards under his feet had turned as black as if they had been stained with ink.

The black liquid, like ink, fell into the pond and quickly spread outwards, engulfing the entire dessert shop.

Chu Zhong felt that everything around him was pitch black, and he was the only one left in the world, in complete silence.

Fortunately, the darkness beneath their feet soon turned snow-white and continued to spread...

Chapter 65 The Queen's Frozen Inner World

After Eri left and Chu went to the restroom.

"Xiao Lan, don't you think... Sister Fei is a little different today?"

Sonoko said, "Even when the former Consort smiled, she was very dignified, unlike today when she is so easy to talk to and even put on makeup."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri couldn't help but nod, saying somewhat uncertainly, "Perhaps... Chu Jun is just too outstanding, so he's in a good mood?"

“It’s definitely related to Lord Chu!” Sonoko pondered. “But I think… it’s more likely to be related to Lord Chu’s father!”

"Huh?" Ran Mouri was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. "Sonoko, do you mean that Mom really knows Chu Jun's father?"

After all, Eri's expression was really strange when she heard the news of Chu Zhong's father's death.

"There's no other possibility, maybe..."

Sonoko's gossipy mind wandered, "Maybe she's been in a relationship!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ran Mouri couldn't stand her mother being talked about, and her expression immediately turned cold.

Sonoko quickly raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, it wasn't a romantic relationship, just a deep and memorable friendship, is that alright?"

"That won't do either..." Ran Mouri was still unhappy, seemingly unable to accept that her mother had a close past with men other than her father.

"Perhaps it's just pure friendship?" Sonoko muttered. "Otherwise, why would Sister Fei specifically ask Chu Jun about the relics left by his father before she left?"

"Maybe... it's just pure curiosity..." Ran Mouri offered an explanation, then glared at her best friend, clenched her fist, and threatened, "Sonoko, don't you dare think of anything weird! Or I'll really beat you up!"

Sonoko mischievously stuck out her tongue, no longer daring to gossip.

A few minutes later,

"Lord Chu went to the restroom, and he's so slow..."

The two best friends couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Meanwhile, Chu Zhong, who was being thought of:

"Ah sneeze——!"

I was shivering in the midst of the heavy snow.

"This is absolutely outrageous! What's going on with this dungeon?"

"The frozen inner world of a legal queen?!"

Chu Zhong couldn't help but complain loudly.

After the dungeon in the dessert shop is activated, the entire world turns pitch black, and then turns snow white.

When I came to my senses, I found myself on an unknown mountain road in the midst of heavy snow.

It was a slightly warm early summer day before we entered the instance, but now the temperature has plummeted to below zero.

Poor Chu Zhong was only wearing the Teitan school uniform, a shirt, a thin jacket and trousers. How could he possibly withstand such a severe cold?

"Next time, I'll definitely have to wear lots and lots of extra layers beforehand..."

Chu Zhong was shivering from the biting wind as he spoke, and he was already planning his next dungeon run.

In this frigid weather, without warm clothing or shelter from the wind, one would fall into hypothermia in less than five minutes.

Thinking of clothes, Chu Zhong's mind stirred.

The full set of golden armor immediately appeared on his body, adding two layers of clothing and making him a little warmer.

It is usually invisible, intangible, and has no heat-insulating effect.

Now is the perfect time to show off and keep warm!

Unfortunately, the Golden Body Set focuses on defense rather than warmth, so you need to find a sheltered place as soon as possible, otherwise you will inevitably freeze to death and be kicked out of the dungeon.

Having spent 1000 spirit essences, Chu Zhong planned to observe the surrounding situation as much as possible before he couldn't hold on any longer, in order to prepare for the next dungeon raid.

We followed the snow path, which was mostly covered in snowflakes and could only be roughly identified as a mountain trail.

After walking a few steps, I found a fresh skid mark, covered only by a thin layer of snow, revealing a bit of dark mud.

There is a situation!

Chu Zhong immediately perked up and looked in the direction where the skid marks disappeared, discovering obvious snow tracks left by a car that had rolled over.

It appears that someone was driving up the mountain in the snow and accidentally went off the road, causing an accident.

"Could it be that the person who was involved in the accident was..."

Chu Zhong muttered to himself, and with curiosity in his heart, he walked down the sloping hillside, following the snow tracks left by the accident.

However, the mountain was large, and the snow was heavy, almost knee-deep. Chu Zhong could hardly move an inch in the snow, and his speed was comparable to that of a tortoise.

The vehicle involved in the accident rolled away an unknown distance; its roof was no longer visible.

Relying solely on two legs, they would have frozen to death long before exhausting themselves.

'We need to use some unconventional methods…'

Chu Zhong huddled up from the cold, almost squatting on the snow as he pondered.

But the commands 'So cold' and 'I'm freezing' kept popping into his mind, making Chu Zhong feel like his CPU was frozen and unable to function.

and many more?

Rotation?!

Chu Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up. He squatted down, hugged his knees, and tried to curl up into a circle.

Then, aim at the center of the snow tracks and roll directly down the slope!

Certainly--!

At the same time, Chu Zhong cast a spell on himself to ensure that he would not unconsciously let go because of the discomfort of rolling around.

And so, Chu Zhong, who was frozen in place, began to tumble downwards like a snowball, rolling faster and faster, getting covered in more and more snow...

Soon,

Bang-!

The large snowball crashed into the thick tree trunk and split open.

Chu Zhong, who had been encased in the center of the snowball, was finally able to see the light of day again.

The faint golden light covering his body gradually weakened over time until it disappeared completely.

"The snowball rolls so fast, it reached the bottom of the valley before it was frozen in place."

"Thank goodness for the immobilization spell..."

Chu Zhong regained consciousness and looked around at the enormous snowballs that, even after being cracked, were still frighteningly large.

The snowball that rolled and piled up was at least ten meters in diameter!

Without the immobilization spell, Chu Zhong wouldn't dare to do this.

Rolling around like a snowball is a very dangerous activity, and once you start, you can't stop on your own.

In the end, the snowball either crashes into a hard object, breaks apart, and the person is knocked unconscious or freezes to death from the impact.

If they don't bump into anything, it's even worse; they'll be trapped inside the snowball and suffocate or freeze to death.

'A defense of 170, that's really impressive.'

Chu Zhong was secretly pleased with himself.

With the ability to freeze his body, he can maintain a standard rolling posture as much as possible and avoid dizziness during the rolling process.

With the Golden Body Set providing 170 points of defense, the snowball only lost a dozen or so points of health after hitting a hard object, which was no big deal.

Even if it doesn't hit a hard object in the end, Chu Zhong can still use his last resort—summoning a 1.8-meter-tall willow stick to poke a few holes and break the snowball.

drop----!

Faintly, a car horn blared, seemingly from not far away.

Chu Zhong listened attentively, quickly pinpointed the direction of the sound, and stepped forward.

After walking about twenty meters, I saw the vehicle that had crashed head-on into a large tree trunk.

Through the broken car window, you could see that the driver in the driver's seat was already dead, his face was ashen, his head was slammed on the steering wheel, covered in blood, and the horn was blaring.

In the back seat was a young girl whose fate was unknown. She was secured by a seatbelt, and her complexion looked better than the driver's; she didn't seem to have completely died yet.

However, things weren't much better in Chuzhong.

Even though she was wearing the Teitan school uniform and the golden body suit, her legs were starting to go numb from the cold, and she was trembling uncontrollably, making her movements less agile.

'I need to get into the car quickly to warm up...'

Chu Zhong made a judgment subconsciously.

However, the car was hit violently, all the windows were shattered, and air was leaking out everywhere.

The situation seemed to have reached a dead end, with no other options available.

Should we... come back next time when we're ready?

Chu Zhong was so cold that he began to consider leaving.
