Chu Zhong said calmly, "If a dislocated arm is not set in time, there is a risk of disability."

“After a dislocation, blood clots will gradually accumulate in the bone cavity, leading to nerve and muscle necrosis... and may even require surgical removal of the entire arm.”

Of course, all of this is just nonsense from Chu Zhong.

But it's enough to fool Ota Masaru, who has no relevant knowledge.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word 'disabled,' Ota Katsumi immediately panicked, hurriedly pulled out his phone to make a call, and then screamed, "Why is there no signal?!"

He then ran straight out of the kitchen.

Chu Zhong then took the hand of the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan and followed her into the living room.

Ayako and Kakutani followed closely behind.

Then Ota Katsumi tried to make a call using the living room landline, but the result was the same: he couldn't get through.

When Chu Zhong went downstairs to check just now, he discovered that the telephone line had been cut at some point.

Japan's infrastructure is poor, and in these remote mountains, cell phone signals are extremely weak.

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!"

In a fit of rage, Ota Masaru grabbed the microphone and slammed it against the landline, screaming at the top of his lungs, "My hand! My hand!!"

Then, as if in despair, he slumped to the ground, his resentful gaze fixed on the martial arts fanatic, Xiaolan.

The commotion in the living room attracted the attention of the others, who all gathered around.

The situation was very simple. Ayako explained it to Sonoko, Takahashi, and Chikako Ikeda in just a few words, and they roughly understood what had happened.

However, none of the members of the film studies club could help with the dislocated shoulder. They also knew a little about Ota Masaru's style; in college, he had changed girlfriends quite a few times just because of his good looks.

Sonoko, needless to say, knew that her best friend had almost been bullied, and she didn't give Ota Masaru a kind look at all.

If Ota Katsumi hadn't looked so miserable, he might have cursed him out.

"Lord Chu," Ayako suddenly spoke up, "is there really no other way?"

Chu Zhong said leisurely, "Yes, Xiao Lan has been practicing martial arts for many years and is very experienced in dislocations...right?"

He had just noticed that the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan seemed to intentionally step forward to help Ota Masaru reattach his arm.

At that time, Ota Katsuhiro hid behind Kakutani.

"Mm." Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan nodded.

Ota Masaru immediately jumped up from the ground and roared as if giving a command: "Then hurry up and connect it for me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan, a martial arts enthusiast, actually considered offering her help.

This simple-minded guy...

Chu Zhong felt a wave of helplessness.

But it's also known that it's highly unlikely that Xiaolan, who's obsessed with martial arts, will understand that 'unconditional kindness will only encourage others to take advantage'.

So Chu Zhong tugged at the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan, interrupting her movements.

He then gave Ota Katsu a mocking smile: "Is this how you ask for help?"

Ota Katsu said angrily, "She took my hand..."

"What evidence do you have?" Chu Zhong interrupted, "Who saw Xiao Lan dislocate your arm?"

Ota Katsu pointed at the camera and shouted, "She just admitted it herself..."

“Xiao Lan only said ‘she was knocked down in one move,’” Chu Zhong interrupted again. “Being knocked down is being knocked down, and dislocating the joint is dislocating the joint. They are two different things.”

As he spoke, Chu Zhong waved his hand to interrupt Ota Masaru, who was about to speak again: "No need for nonsense. Either honestly confess what you've done and obediently apologize to Xiaolan."

"Either wait a few days, until your arm is cut off, then see you in court!"

The message has been made very clear: either admit your mistake or lose an arm.

For Ota Masaru, this choice clearly required no hesitation; he immediately knelt down on both knees.

"It was my fault. I was so infatuated with Miss Ran's beauty that I tried to take advantage of her while Kakutani and Ayako were away..."

As he spoke, Ota Katsumi slapped himself across the face with one hand, the sound echoing loudly: "I'm not human, I deserve to die, I deserve to be hit... Please, Miss Ran, forgive me!"

After saying that, he even did a full dogeza (a deep bow).

He seemed to be very sincere and thorough in admitting his mistake.

Chu Zhong sneered inwardly.

No wonder he's a car salesman, he's got a thick skin.

He's so skilled at it; he probably uses it a lot when trying to woo girls and apologize.

However, it must be said that in most cases, playing the victim and begging for mercy is effective.

Seeing Ota Katsu kneeling and begging like this, the other members of the Film Studies Club were somewhat moved.

Ayako also spoke up: "Ran, Ota has also been punished, look..."

This time, the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan didn't speak, but looked at Chu Zhong, seemingly waiting for instructions.

Chu Zhong knew the importance of knowing when to stop, so he nodded.

"what--!"

Soon, with another scream from Ota Katsu, Ran cleanly and efficiently put his dislocated arm back in place.

The arm, which was originally limp, crippled, and without feeling, can move again.

"thanks, thanks……"

Ota Masaru was in so much pain that tears were almost streaming down his face, but he still had to keep thanking her.

Then, Ota Masaru seemed to remember something and hurriedly looked at Kakutani, who was holding the camera, "No..."

But before Ota Masaru could finish speaking...

"Help me—!"

Outside the villa, a child's innocent voice cried out for help: "Sister Ran! Help! It's me, Conan! Please come save me!!!"

Everyone immediately ran out of the villa and saw Conan clinging tightly to one side of the rope bridge in the middle of the bridge, swaying back and forth in the strong wind.

But what's even more striking is that two green-clad 'people' are wielding axe-like objects and chopping at the large wooden stakes that hold the rope bridge in place.

Thump—thump—thump—!

The wooden stakes were chopped into pieces, leaving a large gap. Once the stakes were no longer in place, the rope bridge, along with Conan, would fall into the deep valley.

"It's a monster!"

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan shouted excitedly and rushed towards the bridge like lightning.

The speed was so fast that Chu Zhong didn't have time to call a halt, and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had already engaged in combat with one of the green monsters.

As for the outcome of the match...

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan easily dodged the incoming axe and kicked the strange man in the stomach.

-335!

A critical hit damage number floated above the monster's head.

[Teammate successfully defeated the dungeon enemy, gaining 240 experience and 260 spirit essence.]

[Item Obtained: Healing Bandage]

"Healing bandage": can accelerate wound healing and recovery to a certain extent.

A system notification sounded in Chu Zhong's mind.

The green monster seemed to deflate, shrinking rapidly until only a pile of green things and an axe remained.

'Faced with the strength of a demon king, the mobs in boss-level dungeons are simply no match for them...'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

They were also happy to acquire new items.

“So weak…”

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan muttered something to herself, then rushed toward another green monster.

Before the green monster could be taken down, the large wooden stake on the left side of the rope bridge had already been cut down.

With one wooden stake missing for support, the left side of the rope bridge, along with the wooden ladder on it, overturned. Although it didn't plunge directly into the deep valley, it still looked dangerous and frightening.

Conan, who was clinging tightly to the rope on his right, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

[Teammates successfully defeated the dungeon enemy...]

Soon, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan took care of the remaining green monsters.

The group quickly ran to the bridge.

Sonoko said anxiously, "How did this brat get here?! Lord Chu, how can we save him?"

Chu Zhong glanced at it and said indifferently, "Just let him move over slowly on his own."

"Huh?" Sonoko and Ayako were both stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Chu Zhong explained, "Since Conan was able to climb to the middle of the bridge using only the rope, he can definitely continue climbing over. Don't worry."

Chu Zhong wouldn't worry about Conan; that kid's too tough.

As Chu Zhong had predicted, without the interference of the green monster, Conan clung tightly to the rope and moved forward little by little like a caterpillar, arriving in front of everyone in less than two minutes.

Conan was clearly terrified, collapsing to the ground as soon as he landed.

Sonoko looked surprised: "I never expected you brat to be able to climb ropes!"

"I learned this while rock climbing with my dad on vacation in Hawaii," Conan gave his standard, universal answer.

Chu Zhong commented, "If you practice your courage a bit more, you'll be even more amazing."

"What do you mean?" Conan was clearly confused. Then, following Chu Zhong's gaze downwards, he noticed a dark stain on his pants.

He was clearly startled just now, and didn't even realize it...

Conan immediately looked ashamed.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on the little kid who wet his pants.

"This is... a bandage?"

Ayako picked up the green object left behind by the green monster and examined it closely, discovering it was a green bandage.

The axe is made entirely of wood, with a wide blade that appears to have been hardened and has a certain degree of sharpness, making it very suitable as a murder weapon.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan slightly raised her chin: "I told you there was a green monster!"

Chikako Ikeda frowned: "But why did those two bandaged men attack us for no reason?"

Kakutani's camera lens swung: "It could be a serial killer hiding in the mountains!"

Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief: "The bandaged man has been dealt with, we should be safe now."

Everyone was talking about it,

Chu Zhong remained silent, realizing that everyone had overlooked a certain illogical phenomenon:

How did the 'person' wrapped in bandages disappear?!

'It seems the copy interfered with the participants' cognition...'

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

But this is for the best, so that these people won't be frightened by paranormal phenomena.

Subsequently, the group discovered that their cell phones had no signal, the villa's telephone lines had been cut, and the bridge had been destroyed, leaving them stranded in the mountains.

The sky was still overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.
