Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Hearing the door open, Ran Mouri went to the entryway to greet her mother, only to find her being hugged from behind by a man. Her pupils constricted instantly, and her voice rose sharply, "Who is this person?!?"

The man rested his head directly on Eri Kisaki's shoulder, his head lowered so his face couldn't be seen, but his hands were wrapped around her neck and buried deep in Eri Kisaki's broad chest, their intimacy going beyond bounds!

"It's Chu Jun!" Eri explained, "He has a bad cold, Ran, come and lend a hand!"

Ran Mouri was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and quickly went to help. Together with Eri Kisaki, they helped Chu Zhong lie down on the sofa.

"His forehead is burning hot! Mom, shouldn't we take Chu Jun to the hospital?"

"I just got back from the hospital. I had an IV drip, and I also picked up my medication."

"Where did Chu Jun go? And why are your clothes in such a mess?"

Ran Mouri looked at Chu Zhong's Teitan school uniform covered in mud and his somewhat messy hair, full of doubt.

After meeting at the dessert shop yesterday afternoon, Chu Zhong, who said he was going to the restroom, suddenly disappeared and has not returned. He cannot be reached by phone.

He didn't even return to his residence next to the office at night; he couldn't be found anywhere, as if he had suddenly vanished.

“I don’t know the details either,” Eri Kisaki shook her head. “He appeared in the underground parking lot of the firm’s office building, and I happened to run into him on my way home from get off work.”

After saying that, Eri asked Ran Mouri for help, intending to move Chu Zhong to the bathroom.

Ran Mouri asked in confusion, "Chu Jun is unconscious right now, so he can't take a bath yet, right?"

"I can just watch over him."

"what?!"

"He had a severe cold, and his hands and feet were cold. Taking a hot bath made him feel better and also helped improve his blood circulation."

Eri explained for a moment, then teased, "What, are you worried about your mother? Afraid that Chu Jun will be taken advantage of?"

“How could that be…” Ran Mouri quickly shook her head, “I just feel that Mom is like this…”

After thinking for a long time, Ran Mouri still couldn't come up with a suitable word. She might have thought of one, but she couldn't say it because the other person was Eri Kisaki.

"You think this is inappropriate?"

Eri Kisaki saw through Ran Mouri's thoughts and smiled, "Silly girl, what haven't I seen? Now that you're dating Chu Jun, I see you as my son."

"If you're worried about Mom, Xiaolan, you can stay in the bathroom and make sure he doesn't sink into the water."

Ran quickly shook her head and hugged her mother's arm: "No, it's just that I feel like Mom will be at a disadvantage if we do this... I'll take care of Chu Jun."

The girl wouldn't doubt her mother's motives, no matter who she suspected; she just didn't want her mother to be too close to any man other than her father... even if that man was Chu Zhong.

Eri joked, "Ran, don't you dare do anything naughty while Chu Jun is not in his right mind!"

"How could someone possibly..." Ran Mouri blushed slightly.

Then, Ran Mouri lifted her upper body and Eri Kisaki lifted her legs, moving Chu Zhong to the side of the bathtub.

While filling the bathtub with hot water, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri together removed Chu Zhong's extra clothes, leaving him with only a piece of clothing to cover his private parts.

Several large, faint bruises were particularly noticeable on his waist, legs, and arms.

After putting Chu Zhong into the bathtub, Eri Kisaki left the bathroom, leaving only Ran Mouri behind.

However, before leaving the bathroom, Eri Kisaki turned back and said:

"If you're planning to do something naughty... Xiaolan, remember to lock the bathroom door so Mom won't bother you."

"Mom!" Ran Mouri's cheeks turned bright red. "Don't say such weird things!"

Eri Kisaki quickly walked away with a smile, returned to her bedroom, unbuttoned her women's office uniform coat, and threw it onto a chair.

despair--

A small notebook slipped out of the pocket and fell to the ground.

Pick up the notebook and lock the door.

Eri Kisaki placed the notebook on the dressing table, took out a pen, turned to a new page, and wrote on it:

'Chu Jun = Chu Zhong'

After writing it down, draw a circle around the words and add a small question mark.

They quickly crossed out the question mark.

'Time travel'

It was crossed out immediately after I finished writing it, as if they thought the word was too absurd.

After a moment of silence, he added the same four words again, this time with a question mark.

It also adds 'age' and 'memory', connecting them with 'time travel'.

Finally, write two words: 'Xiao Lan' and 'the truth'.

Eri Kisaki stroked her wedding ring on her ring finger, her expression complex as she looked at the words in the notebook.

goo~

After a while, her hungry stomach protested, and Eri tore up the page and left the bedroom.

I walked quietly to the bathroom door.

The bathroom door wasn't locked; it was left ajar.

Meanwhile, Ran Mouri, sitting on a small stool next to the bathtub, was about to put her hand into the hot water.

Eri took a few steps back, deliberately making her footsteps, and said, "Ran, when cooking a single serving of vegetable porridge, how much rice and which vegetables should we use?"

When the bathroom door was opened again, Ran Mouri was already sitting obediently on a small stool, her eyes fixed on the floor.

Ran Mouri quickly got up. "I...I'll go prepare some vegetable porridge...and heat up the other dishes while I'm at it..."

"Mom, please come and look after Chu Jun..."

With that, Ran Mouri, blushing, fled the bathroom.

Eri had just left, and there had been no sound for a long time, while Chu Zhong appeared to be unconscious.

Ran couldn't help but recall what Sonoko had said before, and driven by curiosity, she decided to find out for herself and see for herself.

Just as she was about to make her move, she was almost caught by her mother, and Ran Mouri, who had almost done something wrong, felt extremely guilty.

Furthermore, her mother's cooking skills were truly indescribable, so Ran Mouri used this as an excuse to leave, lest her observant mother notice anything amiss.

Click——

After Ran Mouri left the bathroom, Eri Kisaki immediately closed and locked the glass door.

Then she sat on a small stool next to the bathtub, dipped her left hand into the hot water, and grasped... Chu Zhong's hand.

His right hand reached forward and gently stroked Chu Zhong's face.

At this moment, a large hand gently grasped Chu Zhong's, who was burning with fever, and his head rested against the edge of the bathtub. His eyes were half-open, as if he noticed the confusion in the gaze of the person in front of him, and he murmured as if in a dream:

"Eri...it's okay...don't cry..."

After saying that, he closed his eyelids weakly again.

Eri froze, old memories flooding her mind, and unconsciously clenched her large hand.

About ten minutes later.

dong dong dong-

"Mom, why did you lock the door?"

Outside the bathroom, along with the knocking, came Ran Mouri's somewhat anxious voice asking questions.

Soon, the bathroom door opened from the inside, carrying the scent of shampoo.

With some foam on her hands, Eri said, "I'll wash his hair right away, and he'll be done with his bath. I'm about to drain the water and dry him off, but I locked the door because I was worried you'd be embarrassed if you saw me."

After saying that, Eri Kisaki chuckled and teased, "Ran, why don't you help him handle the rest of the matter... it'll be a good opportunity for you to get familiar with things beforehand?"

Ran Mouri blushed instantly: "No... Mom, you should do it..."

Even if the girl thought it in her heart, she couldn't admit it to her mother.

However, before leaving the bathroom, Ran Mouri went up to her again and asked, "Mom, are you really... not bothered?"

After all, this is a member of the opposite sex other than her father.

The girl was more concerned about whether it would pollute her mother's eyes.

Eri Kisaki retorted, "We'll all be family from now on, what's there to be bothered about? Mom isn't some little girl, what hasn't she seen?"

He then added, "Xiao Lan, it's normal to be curious. If you want to see but are too embarrassed to say so, then..."

As she spoke, Eri Kisaki made a move to leave the bathroom.

But soon, Ran Mouri, her face flushed, escaped from the bathroom and closed the door, saying, "I... I'll wait outside."

A few minutes later, when the bathroom door opened again, Chu Zhong was wrapped in a bath towel in the bathtub.

Perhaps because of the hot water, the bruises on Chu Zhong's body had disappeared.

The two of them then helped Chu Zhong to the guest room to lie down, and then went to the dining table in the living room to eat the dinner that had been heated up...

"Chu Jun, wake up, it's time for breakfast~"

Chu Zhong woke up to Xiao Lan's familiar, gentle voice. His memory was still stuck on meeting Eri Kisaki in the garage last night. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning.

Although my body is still sore and weak, the symptoms of dizziness and headache have been greatly reduced, and I am no longer so afraid of the cold.

Chu Zhong sat up with some difficulty, leaning against the headboard, and received breakfast porridge from Xiao Lan, learning about his sudden disappearance.

'It seems that really is a special instance...'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

"Chu Jun, where did you go? You didn't even say goodbye, making everyone worry..."

Ran Mouri's gaze was filled with resentment.

"Xiaolan, you might not believe it, but when I went to the restroom, I noticed someone acting suspiciously. I followed them for a while, and then I was suddenly attacked..."

Chu Zhong adapted the story of a washing machine: "When I woke up, I had been thrown into some remote, desolate place, and there was no cell phone signal, so I had to walk all the way back..."

"I didn't eat or drink anything that night, and I caught a chill, so I caught a cold... Who would have thought that something like this would happen in a bustling downtown area?"

Hearing this explanation, Ran Mouri didn't doubt it and nodded, "I see... There have indeed been many more crime cases in the newspapers recently, supposedly a 'crime boom'."

"Although Chu Jun is very skilled, he is still in great danger if attacked. He should be more careful in the future and try not to act alone..."

Amid Xiaolan's constant nagging and concern, Chu Zhong finished the breakfast that was fed to him.

Then I prepared to get out of bed and go to the bathroom.

As a result, they found that their legs were weak and they could not stand up at all.

Helpless, he had to ask Xiaolan to help him to the restroom.

As I left the room and passed through the living room,

She even received a direct criticism from Eri Kisaki, who was eating breakfast at the time:

"Remember to take care of your health next time, and don't get yourself into this state again."

"How old are you? You're still such a worry."

"Lord Chu! Did you remember that?!"

It felt like I was being criticized by a teacher.

Faced with the queen who had 'picked him up' last night, Chu Zhong could only nod in agreement.

He inwardly complained that the lousy system didn't give him any hints.

If he had known that the cold from that special instance would carry over into reality, he wouldn't have eaten chocolate, drunk alcohol, been exposed to the cold wind, and gone skiing—recklessly courting death and causing his condition to deteriorate rapidly.

This snowfield survival and rescue mission is so difficult, I wonder what good rewards it gives out.

Chu Zhong vaguely remembered that after returning to reality, the system popped up a few notifications, but he was too confused from being sick last night and forgot whether he had read them or not.

I immediately opened the system log...
