Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Chapter 88 Only by Sacrificing One's Appearance

"cough……"

Chu Zhong withdrew his gaze from the orchids, stood up, and said, "It's time to continue up the mountain."

He immediately helped tidy up Xiao Lan's clothes, especially her skirt which was covered in mud.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Chu Zhong felt a mixture of joy and worry.

The good news is that in this multiplayer instance, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan directly takes over the body of the real-life Xiao Lan.

The worry is that it's uncertain how much of Xiaolan's memory will remain after the multiplayer instance ends, and how much impact it will have if she gets injured.

If you remember what he just did...

Although their relationship was practically on the verge of becoming intimate, he acted without their consent...

"Ok?"

As Chu Zhong was thinking, a soft, fragrant kiss suddenly pressed close to him.

His thoughts were suddenly disrupted, which made him a little annoyed. Chu Zhong caught up with the cherry lips that were pulling away and tasted them fiercely.

"I told you not to use sneak attacks, and here you are again!"

Half a minute later, Chu Zhong glared at the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

If it weren't for the concern that Xiao Lan might get hurt, Chu Zhong would have definitely taught this little girl a lesson.

"What? You were clearly happy too." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan muttered like a victim, "It was just a light touch, and you hugged me so tightly... But it felt quite comfortable."

As she spoke, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, tried to come closer again.

Chu Zhong quickly distanced himself, too lazy to explain how attractive she was now, and besides, even if he did explain, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan might not understand.

"In short, no more unauthorized sneak attacks!"

Chu Zhong warned again, "Otherwise... otherwise when we fight the enemy later, I'll just freeze you in place and prevent you from making a move!"

After thinking it over and over, I couldn't find any threatening excuse, so I had to resort to this.

"There are enemies?!"

Martial arts enthusiast Xiaolan's eyes lit up, eager to try: "Where is it? How strong is it?"

Sure enough, apart from weapons research, only fighting could pique her interest.

However, the ultimate goal of researching weapons is also to defeat him; in the end, it's all the same thing.

You'll see when we meet.

Chu Zhong, who had no idea what the enemy was like, continued to deceive them, and then pulled the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan along, intending to continue forward.

Before they had taken two steps, a loud whooshing sound suddenly came from behind them, rapidly approaching and becoming clearer.

Chu Zhong was already on guard, and had prepared a freezing spell in his hand, about to use it... but was suddenly pulled and his back was directly against the arms of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan.

call out--!

A black and white object flew past me at high speed like a meteor, eventually crashing into a thick tree trunk a dozen meters away.

boom--!

The tree trunk shook violently from the impact, and withered leaves fell with a whoosh. The black and white object, due to its speed and force, became embedded directly in the tree trunk.

It's a football!

Chu Zhong recognized it at a glance—it was Conan's killer soccer ball!

Conan must have used some method to follow him over, and when he saw him kissing the martial arts fanatic Ran, he was enraged, lost his temper, and kicked her in anger.

It's also a combination technique invented by Professor Agasa, where a temporary inflatable soccer ball pops out from his belt, and combined with his powerful sneakers and Conan's incredible aiming ability, he attacks targets from a distance.

Chu Zhong vaguely remembered that at its most incredible, Conan's soccer ball could even reach satellites...

Too much of a scientific approach, even with all their efforts, the satellite couldn't defeat it.

However, Conan is probably not yet fully grown.

"It's the enemy!" Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan exclaimed excitedly, "Watch me go..."

"Don't go, getting up the mountain is the priority." Chu Zhong immediately stopped her. "By the time you get there, they'll have already run far away."

Even if we caught Conan, it wouldn't be of any use; it would be a complete waste of time.

"..." Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, pouted. Although she stopped, there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was full of resentment about not being able to fight.

Thinking of Xiaolan, who is obsessed with martial arts, and has a personality that is more responsive to gentle persuasion than force,

Chu Zhong simply stroked her hair and coaxed, "If you behave this time, you can study me however you want next time we meet, okay?"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan's eyes lit up instantly: "Can we do it like we did on the rooftop?"

"...If you perform well." Chu Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

To have an obedient teammate and to successfully clear multiplayer dungeons, sacrificing a little bit of beauty is nothing!

"You can't go back on your word then!" Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan immediately made a pinky promise.

five minutes later,

"Come back, you've gone the wrong way!"

Chu Zhong called out to stop Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, who was running very fast ahead.

Perhaps eager to go up the mountain to fight, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan started jogging earlier and ran faster and faster.

Although Chu Zhong's stamina is almost limitless, he is still weak. Even if he recovers, he won't be able to run as fast as her.

"It's because you're too slow." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan ran back like the wind. "As expected, you're still weak and frail, only your magic is powerful."

There was even a hint of disdain in his voice.

Chu Zhong's eye twitched. He was about to retort when he remembered how the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had helped him in the Gin dungeon, and how she had just helped him dodge the killer soccer ball. So he held back for the time being.

In terms of physical strength alone, he is not as strong as Xiaolan, which is the truth.

Then he saw the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan with her back to him, half-squatting.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

Faced with this 'care', Chu Zhong remained silent for two seconds, ignored it, and chose to continue walking forward.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan caught up and chattered beside her, "Wouldn't it be better to go up the mountain and defeat the enemy sooner?"

Chu Zhong rolled his eyes.

The mountain path was already quite rugged, and if the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan were to carry her while running, given her reckless personality, she would probably be shaken so badly by the excessive movement that her brain would be jolted to its limit.

His cold hadn't fully healed, and after a short run, his head felt throbbing and he was a little dizzy. He didn't dare to be bothered with anything else.

After that run, the crow's scent was beyond his perception range, so he temporarily shook it off. As for Conan with his short legs, it goes without saying.

The mountains are covered with trees that obstruct the view, so there's no need to worry about being sniped from a distance. There's no need to rush.

"Listen to me, walk slowly." Chu Zhong adjusted his breathing and moved forward at a normal walking pace.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan muttered, "Walking like this is too slow..."

Chu Zhong glanced sideways: "Disobedient? Then what about the next research project..."

Martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan immediately covered her mouth with her hand and said no more.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Zhong and the martial arts enthusiast Xiao Lan finally arrived at a place not far from the villa, following the map's guidance.

Ahead lies a large canyon, more than ten meters wide and tens of meters high, with a river flowing below and a rope bridge covered with wooden planks above.

To get to the villa, you have to cross the rope bridge.

"The wind is so strong..."

Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, frowned.

At this moment, the rope bridge connecting the two sides of the canyon is being blown violently by the gale, with an amplitude of more than ninety degrees, making it impossible for a person to walk on.

Unfortunately, the gale only passed over the canyon, and Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, standing beside it, only felt a slight breeze.

'It's probably because the instance is deliberately making things difficult for people...'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

It's always right to blame all the unreasonable situations on the dungeon settings.

Then he raised his hand and said "Freeze!"

The rope bridge, which was swinging wildly, suddenly came to a stop.

"It has to be a freeze spell!"

Xiao Lan, a martial arts fanatic, looked on with envy.

The two easily crossed the bridge and finally arrived at the villa.

[We have entered the core area of ​​the multiplayer dungeon; the dungeon is now officially activated!]

[Objective: Eliminate the evil leader, or survive for 20 hours]

Chu Zhong checked the time; it was exactly 10:00 AM.

If I survive for 20 hours, that means until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

Just thinking,

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan suddenly shouted, "There's a monster over there!" and pointed to the woods on one side of the villa.

"Chase!" Chu Zhong gave the order, and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan took the lead, rushing into the woods like an arrow released from a bow.

When Chu Zhong caught up with her and reached the woods, he saw the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan standing there, looking around.

"The monster got away?"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan thought for a moment: "...It's more like he suddenly disappeared."

"What does it look like? Could it have climbed up a tree and hidden itself?"

"I couldn't see it clearly, it was something green...and it wasn't on the tree."

Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan searched the surrounding area but found nothing.

If Chu Zhong hadn't known that anything could happen in the dungeon, he might have suspected that the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan was seeing things.

"Let's ignore that monster for now; sooner or later it will come looking for trouble."

After Chu Zhong finished speaking, he and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan returned to the main entrance of the villa hand in hand.

After the two had walked a distance apart,

A nearby tree opened its eyes, and the outline of a human figure emerged from its brown trunk.

Like a chameleon mimicking its way out of a predator, the brown figure quickly reverted to its original green color, still holding an axe wrapped in branches...

Chapters 8 and 9: The Two Best Friends Declaring Sovereignty

Chu Zhong couldn't understand how a small villa could be built in this remote mountain area, far from any village or shop, with only a rope ladder connecting the two sides of the canyon.

Fortunately, this is the world of Detective Conan, so there's no use thinking about it.

"You are……"

After knocking on the villa's front door, a woman in her early twenties came out. She had fair skin and squinty eyes that always seemed to be smiling.

The woman's delicate features, when pieced together, resulted in an ordinary appearance.

Before the two could explain their purpose, the woman seemed to remember something, "Are you a friend of Sonoko?" Then her gaze lingered on the face of the martial arts fanatic, Xiaolan, for a few more seconds.

After Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan nodded, the woman led them into the villa's hall, where they found Sonoko on the sofa in the living room.

"Xiao Lan, Chu Jun, you've finally arrived!"

"Let me introduce you. This is my older sister, Ayako Suzuki."
