Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Chen, your student is missing." Wright dialed Chen Zhao's phone number.

When Chen Zhao received Wright's call, his first reaction was that Little Grove had gone elsewhere.

Thinking about Little Grove's character, this possibility is also possible.

"There were six other people missing with him during the spring outing and camping event he participated in," Wright said. "The police have been involved in the investigation, and the Forest Park search and rescue team is also conducting a blanket search."

"Could it be that he and a few classmates went to other places to play?" Chen Zhao asked suspiciously.

"No, he did go to Sandro National Park. It can be seen from the surveillance of the bus he took, and it is not just the students who are missing. Nicholas, the security director, is also missing, and the police said that four tourists are also missing. They disappeared in the forest, and when their camps were found, their luggage and tools were well preserved, and struggles and blood stains were found in one of the camps," Wright said.

Chen Zhao frowned: "I have friends in the police, let me help you find out."

Chen Zhao then called David's phone number. David was not responsible for the case and was not in his jurisdiction.

However, the Los Angeles Police Department files are shared, so David can still look up the information.

"David, did you find the information?"

"Information was just sent from Sandro National Park. During the search by the search and rescue team, someone was also missing."

"The search and rescue team members are also missing?"

"The fog in the forest is too heavy. It's possible that they got separated. It's only been two or three hours since the incident happened. It's still unclear whether they were lost or in danger." David said, "Do you want to intervene in this case?"

"One of my students also disappeared in this case." Chen Zhao said, "I hope he has been killed."

"This is not the answer a teacher should have." David said: "And the fact that you called me to ask about this case shows that you still care about your students."

"Haha... You seem to have made a mistake. I called to inquire. It was just my obligation as a teacher, not how much I care about him."

Just then, another call came in.

After Chen Zhao said goodbye to David, he answered the second incoming call.

"Mr. Leon, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chen, there is a case of missing people in Sangdro National Park. Your association should pay attention to it."

Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Is this case a supernatural incident?"

"Sandro National Park has been in operation for twenty years, but it was suddenly closed three years ago and has only recently reopened. Three years ago, a total of 35 disappearances occurred in Sandro National Park. So far, No one has found those missing.”

"The police didn't find anyone at all?"

"It can't be found. The search and rescue team also had many disappearances during the search process, so I suspect this is a supernatural incident."

"I know, I will pay attention to this matter."

Afterwards, Chen Zhao hung up the call with Leon and went to the association headquarters.

On the way, Chen Zhao asked West to gather the people.

After arriving at the association, everyone gathered in the conference hall.

"A missing case occurred in Sangzhuo National Park." Chen Zhao said: "We are not sure whether it is a supernatural incident at the moment. Everyone should suit up, bring search equipment, and go to the location of the incident to investigate."

Chen Zhao looked at Kaos and others: "You guys should also join in."

"Yes, President."

"Your weapons and equipment are of the highest level." Chen Zhao said.

After all, Kaos and others are ordinary people, so it is difficult for them to compete with supernatural forces.

But they are mercenaries, so they should be good at finding people.

"President, where are we?" Paine asked.

"Of course you're going too, or are you saying you don't want to go?"

"No, of course we want to go." Paine quickly expressed his position: "And my beast form can make my sense of smell sharper."

"When searching in the wild, the smell is easy to disperse, so the smell may not be able to find the target faster." Kaos said unconvinced.

"Then how about a competition?" Paine was also eager to express himself.

After all, in the association, as temporary members of the association, they are also under great pressure.

Even in terms of the attitude of internal members, they are not as good as Kaos and others.

After all, Kaos and others took the initiative to join the Supernatural Association.

And the three of them were more forced to join the Supernatural Association.

So they really need a sense of identity right now.

"Chen, aren't you going?"

"I'll go too." Chen Zhao said, "You should divide into three teams, but don't separate too much. It's very foggy in that place and there is a high chance of encountering danger. I will act alone."

Everyone had no objection to this arrangement, and it was reasonable for Chen Zhao to leave alone.

Whoever follows Chen Zhao will become a burden.

"Batilu and I made some communication equipment for you, which can still communicate even when ordinary equipment is interfered with," Jurag said.

"Okay, bring all the equipment and let's go."

…

"what do you need?"

"First of all, I need to know the environment in this corpse pit." Bona Twain said.

Professor Forsl looked at Dog: "Do you have a topographic map below?"

"No, this laboratory was built very early, and it was an underground laboratory in the early days. Later, the underground laboratory was abandoned, and another laboratory was built on top, which is the building we are standing under now. Later, Treco After the professor took over the laboratory, he reserved the entrance, threw the failed products into the mouth, and let them fend for themselves inside."

"How big is it down there?"

"It is more than ten times the building area on the ground." Dog said.

"So big? Why not just destroy those monsters?"

"Because Professor Trecco was conducting an experiment on self-adaptation of a species, he felt that the failures were not complete failures. Perhaps in a special environment, the self-improvement of those failures could be promoted."

"How many failures are there down there?"

"Many, many, many, many, many experiments were conducted by Professor Treco, which were species hybrid experiments, that is, human-animal hybrid experiments."

"However, if he wants to build a complete ecological chain, he needs a large enough site and a natural circulation system. Just having organisms is not enough, right?"

"During Professor Treco's experiments, he once obtained a special organic substance, which he named 'God's Flesh'. This organic substance can reproduce indefinitely and will grow slowly even if it is only exposed to the air. Of course , if it is placed around other organic matter, its reproduction speed will be faster. Many of Professor Treco's experiments are based on this piece of 'god's flesh and blood'."
