Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

While comforting her, Chu Zhong continued to use his chopsticks to pick up food and feed it to Fei Yingli, maintaining a relatively slow pace.

Gradually, Eri Kisaki seemed to get used to the spiciness, and her furrowed brows relaxed, but she still kept opening her mouth, exhaling hot air and saying that she couldn't take it.

During this time, Chu Zhong was not idle either, but as he ate, he found that the spiciness was quite challenging.

Unlike the spicy food you get in regular dungeons, Eri's dish is like being enveloped in chili flames after you eat it.

The chili peppers are constantly squeezed and burst in the confined space, making people feel hot all over, yet they are also addictive, and you keep eating them bite by bite.

"call--!"

About ten minutes later, Chu Zhong's body temperature soared from the spiciness, and he became unsteady on his feet, so he sat down in a chair to rest for the time being.

"You're full already?"

Eri Kisaki's gaze swept over them, still lingering with interest.

Chu Zhong quickly explained, "It's just a break; we'll continue eating later."

I never expected this. I thought I had already honed my skills in the regular dungeons and become a master of eating spicy food.

Unexpectedly, I was stumped by Eri Kisaki's dish in this dungeon.

Indeed, the difference between fake food and real food is enormous.

"I will definitely eat it all up later, so as not to let Eri's kindness go to waste."

Chu Zhong is full of confidence.

Still wanting more, Eri Kisaki started packing up her things, wrapping the unfinished food in wrappers again.

"Let's eat later. Lunch time is almost over, don't let it interfere with work."

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the office door, and Inspector Megure's voice came from outside, "Chu-san, remember to hurry up, it's working hours now."

Looking at the time again, there were less than ten minutes left.

Chu Zhong understood that this must be some kind of signal released by the instance, reminding him that the main event was about to begin, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

With five minutes left before the end of the lunch break, Chu Zhong came out of his office.

“Wow—!”

Little Lan suddenly jumped out from the wall, seemingly to be mischievous and scare people.

"Whose little monster is this? So cute~ Watch me fling you up in the air~"

Chu Zhong smiled and hugged Xiao Xiao Lan's arms, spinning her around a few times with the lively little cutie.

Amidst Xiao Xiao Lan's silvery laughter, Chu Zhong patted her head again, then asked her to go to the office to stay with Fei Yingli.

Eri had just eaten such spicy food for the first time, and she wasn't used to it so quickly, so she obviously needed to rest for a while.

"Calm down! Don't act impulsively!"

"Assaulting a police officer is a serious crime!"

Just as Chu Zhong reached the door of the interrogation room, a sudden commotion came from inside.

"Damn it! He got the gun!"

Megure Juzo's tense voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in prison clothes retreated out of the interrogation room.

Chu Zhong, standing in the corridor, could clearly see that the prisoner who had been in the interrogation room was now holding a revolver and holding a police officer hostage.

There was enough time to react and to stop it immediately... but the body wouldn't obey, and it couldn't move, as if it had been forcibly immobilized.

He could only watch helplessly as the prisoners pushed him aside.

The surrounding police officers noticed the commotion and moved in, blocking the prisoner's path to escape.

"Put your gun down now! If you don't harm the hostages, we can drop the charge of assaulting a police officer!"

Megure shouted his pleas, already gripping his service pistol, as he confronted the armed prisoner.

"Don't come here! Don't even come here!"

The prisoner's face was contorted with rage, and the gun in his hand kept turning left and right, as if he was afraid that a policeman would pounce on him.

Being surrounded by police in the Metropolitan Police Department is like a mouse falling into a cat's den.

"Get the rest of the people out of here right now! Give me a car and 500 million yen in cash... Don't you dare make any more moves!"

The prisoner suddenly yelled at the police officers who were holding him hostage.

boom--!

Gunshots rang out, and a police officer was shot in the arm; the smell of blood filled the air.

"ah--!!!"

Then came the innocent scream of a child—Little Lan!

Chu Zhong, still frozen in place, immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, Xiao Xiao Lan's shout immediately attracted the prisoner's attention, and she dragged the screaming, shot officer into the office.

Police officers immediately rushed forward and blocked the entrance.

"Don't even think about taking my daughter away!"

Then, Eri Kisaki's angry shouts could be heard coming from the office.

Soon, the police officers blocking the doorway retreated in unison, and the hostage held by the prisoner became Eri Kisaki.

Only then did Chu Zhong recover from his stiffness.

"Everyone, scatter! Don't provoke this guy!"

Mumu Shisan shouted an order.

Most of the police officers withdrew from the corridor, leaving only a few armed officers.

"Hurry up and get it ready for me..."

The prisoner again demanded the car and money, threatening Eri Kisaki's life.

Inspector Megure negotiated, "Don't be impulsive! Give us some time to prepare!"

Little Lan was terrified and burst into tears, shouting at Chu Zhong, "Daddy! Save Mommy!"

Seeing Eri Kisaki being taken hostage,

Chu Zhong remained completely calm.

Just as he had predicted.

The hidden mode of Xiaolan's storyline is her biggest childhood trauma - her mother was taken hostage by criminals, but her father shot her!

Now, it is Chu Zhong's turn to face this problem.

Chu Zhong suddenly felt like laughing.

For him, this 'problem' was far too simple.

Eri Kisaki remained equally calm: "Don't worry about me, just grab this guy!"

"You bitch!" The prisoner was immediately provoked, raising his gun as if to point it at Eri's head: "How dare you look down on me—!"

The prisoner froze the next second.

Current mana: 125

Chu Zhong stepped forward.

He hadn't taken two steps when Inspector Megure suddenly grabbed his arm: "Chu Sang, calm down! Get any closer and provoke him! You'll get your wife killed!"

Chu Zhong curled his lip, too lazy to explain, and raised his hand to freeze Inspector Megure as well.

Current mana: 100

The prisoners were immobilized and unable to move at all.

Chu Zhong strode forward, easily snatched back the police gun, then kicked the prisoner to the ground and pinned him down.

First, remove the immobilization spell from Inspector Megure's body.

"Megure, what are you daydreaming about? Come here and tie him up."

Chu Zhong gave the order: "And those over there, quickly call an ambulance and send the shot-stricken people to the emergency room."

A dangerous hostage situation involving gunmanship was resolved by Chu Zhong with ease.

Once they came to their senses, Inspector Megure and the other officers quickly got to work, while simultaneously giving Chu Zhong a look of amazement.

"Dad is so awesome!"

Little Lan burst into laughter through her tears and rushed over to hug Chu Zhong's trouser leg.

Chu Zhong picked up Xiao Xiao Lan and sat her in his arms, intending to wipe away the tears on her little face.

As a result, Xiao Xiaolan buried her head in his shoulder and wiped her tears directly onto her clothes.

Chu Zhong could only smile helplessly.

He immediately noticed that Eri Kisaki was smiling gently, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, unwavering.

"Eri, you were really calm just now."

Chu Zhong couldn't help but speak up.

He remained calm because of his immobilization technique, which gave him complete confidence that he could easily deal with the armed prisoner.

Eri, who was being held hostage, was unaware of all this. Her life and death hung in the balance, yet she remained completely calm.

"Because I believe..."

Eri Kisaki parted her lips slightly: "If it's you, there's absolutely no problem."

As if she had thought of something, Eri Kisaki's gaze was full of fervent affection and trust.

Chu Zhong's heart trembled as he watched, pounding rapidly, wishing he could...

"Chu Sang, I'm so sorry about that."

Megure's voice rang out as he approached with an apologetic expression, "That guy suddenly attacked while someone was bringing him food and snatched the gun..."

"Megure, no need to say more." Chu Zhong waved his hand. "I want to requisition another office to appease Eri and Ran."

Inspector Megure readily agreed.

[Dungeon objective achieved, rating...]

[Do you want to exit the instance immediately?]

Chu Zhong was too lazy to check the rewards, nor was he willing to leave the instance so soon.

Holding little Ran in one arm and holding Eri's hand in the other, they walked into another clean office.

[Countdown to instance closing: 30 minutes]

Perhaps because it's a special instance, even the automatic shutdown countdown is much longer than the usual 5 minutes.

"Xiao Lan, you can read a book, eat something, and smell the flowers here... Dad and Mom have something to talk about over there."

Chu Zhong placed Xiao Xiao Lan on the sofa, picked up a book from the table, and took out chocolates and a bouquet of flowers from the props, stuffing them all into her hands.

Eri Kisaki drew the curtains and locked the doors and windows.

Then, the two of them walked behind the desk in tacit agreement.

"Yingli..."

"husband……"

"Right, let's drink this first." Chu Zhong took out the Xiangfei gourd.

Eri Kisaki gulped it down before asking, "What is this? It tastes... a bit like alcohol?"

Chu Zhong smiled without saying a word and quickly began to discuss serious matters with Eri.

On the sofa,

Little Lan listened intently to the occasional laughter coming from behind the desk, while engrossed in reading a book of everyday recipes filled with illustrations…
