Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"There is a small island ahead. If you don't want to die, swim faster."

Raisa's voice echoed in Ophis' ears.

Fios remained awake.

Looking from a distance, there is indeed the shadow of an island in front of it.

It's just that the island seems to be at the center of the storm.

She knew very well that if she fell into a coma at this time, Raisa would definitely leave her alone.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Raisa seemed completely unafraid of wind and waves, or even the cold.

Every time a wave hit, Fios felt like she was sinking into the deep sea.

But every time Raisa would pull her out of the sea.

When she resurfaced, suddenly she found that the storm had calmed down.

Even the sun became brighter and brighter, and a warmth filled my heart.

It was only a few hundred meters away from the small island.

Compared with the violent wind and waves just now, the distance of several hundred meters seemed to be no longer a problem.

Fios swam hard and finally reached the shore.

Fios lay on the soft sand, enjoying the warm sunshine and the fine gravel.

Enjoying the long-lost peace and the beautiful wind and sunshine.

Fios suddenly thought of Raisa and sat up suddenly.

I saw Raisa walking slowly from the sea, dragging a big fish as big as herself in her hand.

"You...how..."

"are you not hungry?"

"But...we don't have fire."

"Go gather firewood."

"do what?"

"Make a fire."

"But, how do we make a fire?"

"Thank you for your IQ of 158." Raisa glanced at Fios.

Fios was a little annoyed: "I just want to see how you make a fire."

Fios picked up firewood on the beach.

Then they piled up in front of Raisa, and then it was time to watch the show.

She wanted to see how Raisa made the fire.

Raisa came to the pile of firewood, snapped her fingers, and the firewood suddenly ignited.

Pheos's eyes almost popped out.

"how did you do it?"

"Want to know?"

Fios nodded.

"I won't tell you." Raisa grilled the fish proudly.

Fios discovered that Raisa was not sad at all because of the shipwreck.

"Are you not worried about your situation at all?"

"Why worry?"

"Then you are not worried about the life or death of your companions?"

"do not worry."

"You have no feelings for them at all?"

"There is a little affection, but it's not too deep. What's more, if I can't die, they can't die either." Raisa said matter-of-factly.

"You are really confident in them, but here is the vast ocean, and there is a super storm outside. We are lucky to be able to survive. Do you think your companions are also so lucky?"

Raisa glanced at Fios, are you sure this is because of good luck?

"Before... I saw a ghost ship... Isn't that true? It's just my hallucination, right?" Fios has always been worried about this.

She thought it was probably because she was near death that she had hallucinations.

In fact, some experts and scholars have analyzed that so-called ghost ships are hallucinations that people have when facing huge waves.

Fios didn't know whether what she saw was real or an illusion.

But that scene was really, really clear.

It was so clear that even now, Fios was still impressed.

"It's true." Raisa said calmly.

"You're lying, there is no such thing as a ghost ship."

"Okay, you're right." Raisa looked at Fios and didn't argue with her.

…

Alger is floating on the sea.

At this time, a modified armed ship appeared in front of him.

Drop down a ladder from the armed ship.

Alger immediately climbed onto the armed boat.

"Uncle." Alger saw a majestic man standing in front of him.

His uncle Channing Layton actually came.

"Who asked you to act without permission?"

"Uncle, our Layton family has been hunting the black witch for three centuries. This is the only time we have been so close to her."

"You shouldn't let ordinary people get involved." Channing Layton's eyes were blazing, and he carried a cold aura.

"Domingo is with me too."

"I am even more worried when he is here. That kid has too many thoughts." Channing Layton said.

"Domingo is my friend."

"Your friends will not lead you to death."

"We discovered the whereabouts of the black witch, so after notifying you, we followed her immediately."

"Are you sure the Black Witch is heading towards the center of the storm?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I saw her ship enter here with my own eyes, and she still used magic to sink the pirate ship carrying me."

"Pirate Ship?"

"Yes, the ship we rented encountered a storm and sank, and was rescued by a group of pirates. Of course, those pirates were not good people either."

At this moment, a crew member hurried over with a telescope.

"Boss, there's a drowning person ahead."

Channing Layton took a look at the telescope and saw a man lying on a swimming ring in the roaring sea, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a barbecue in the other.

Channing Layton put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes, and looked again...

That's right, that person was actually enjoying good food and wine in the middle of the storm.

"Is there an Asian on that pirate ship?" Channing Layton asked.

Alger was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "There is one, but the Asian doesn't seem to be a member of the pirates. He is also a person in distress. He jumped into the sea and committed suicide."

Channing Layton handed the binoculars to Alger: "Is he that man?"

"Yes, it's that person."

"Pull that man up." Channing Layton said.

After a while, Chen Zhao was pulled onto the boat.

"Who are you?" Chen Zhao really had no impression of Alger.

On the Conqueror, Alger met Chen Zhao several times.

But every time, Chen Zhao was in a state of confusion and didn't notice Alger at all.

"Don't you recognize me?" Alger looked at Chen Zhao and said.

Chen Zhao smoothed his hair and poured the water out of his ears.

"Can you please wash me down? I need to return a set of clothes now." Chen Zhao said.

After being immersed in seawater for a long time, the seawater becomes salty and stays on the skin, which makes it feel very uncomfortable.

"You can take a shower and change clothes if you want. I can also provide you with food, but you have to answer my questions first."

"No comment." Chen Zhao didn't even know who Alger was.

Channing Layton stood silently beside him, frowning and staring at Chen Zhao.

This man is extremely calm, whether at sea or on a boat.

Channing Layton walked up: "I only ask one question, who are you?"
