Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

To be honest, this price is really hard for Chen Zhao to refuse.

However, Chen Zhao did not agree immediately.

"Evelay, even I am not sure you can swim for seven minutes."

"What I want is ten million dollars for ten days of training, not that you have to help me swim seven minutes," Evelei said.

"Well, your price is really hard for me to refuse." Chen Zhao finally bowed to the evil money.

"So when do we start training?"

"The sports meeting starts on the 27th, so let's start training next week. It's just a good time to use the sports meeting to prove your results." Chen Zhao said: "By the way, why don't you switch to other swimming events?"

"I don't want to make myself too tired," Eveleigh said.

In fact, Eve Lei and Chen Zhao are very similar, both are hedonists.

If she now participates in other events, such as the 100-meter freestyle, the 200-meter, the 400-meter, or the 1,500-meter.

She is sure to win the world championship or even the world record.

But it is difficult to achieve the level of 800-meter freestyle that puts all records on the soles of your feet.

If she wins other championships, they may not be the icing on the cake, and regretting it will drag down her current reputation.

And her agent thinks so too.

Unless Evelei can significantly improve her performance in other events.

“You can try other projects before you lose interest.”

"Okay, I'll try the 400-meter and 1,500-meter freestyle events this time."

"That's right. At least it makes me feel that my training has paid off."

"Ten million dollars in ten days is one million dollars in one day. I don't think there is anything more convincing than this price."

"I still hope you can use your results to illustrate the results of my training."

"By the way, there's a party this weekend, come together."

"I want to sleep at home." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Please, I need someone to help me block some harassment." Eveleigh said.

"What kind of party?"

"It was an executive party for my endorsement company."

"Why would you accept such a party? You should at least be a student party."

"No way, the price they offered is too high, so high that even I can't refuse. And although their party is an executive party, it is actually a negotiation between their company's boss and partners. I used to be I’m supporting their company, and the appearance fee for a party is one million dollars, do I have any reason to refuse?”

Chen Zhao couldn't help but be speechless. Is it really so easy for top athletes to make money?

To attend a party, he was actually given an appearance fee of one million dollars.

Make money faster than you can.

"How about you find a bodyguard to go with you and treat him as your male companion."

"Don't you think teachers should protect students?"

"Just this once?"

"Just this once, I promise you."

"Okay, give me the address."

"As my best man, you should at least drive to pick me up."

"My cargo truck, are you sure you want me to drive to pick you up?"

"Haven't you ever driven a sports car before?"

"Although it is my girlfriend's car, it is definitely the worst purchase I have ever made. And since my girlfriend got pregnant, we have never driven that car again. It is not as comfortable as a minivan."

What sports cars pursue is perfect appearance and ultimate power.

Although the interior experience has been improved, the small amount of space still cannot allow drivers to truly experience comfort.

"Forget it, you pick me up and drive a car to my house. I don't want to go to the party in a pickup truck."

"Can I say no?"

"You already promised me."

"If I had known better, I should have refused your request outright."

…

When Chen Zhao returned home, he saw little Ge Lin playing with a skull.

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked up at Fali.

"Fali, why did you buy this kind of toy for little Gelin?" Chen Zhao asked in surprise.

"That's a real skull. It's your mail. I opened it. When little Gelin saw the skull, she snatched it to play with. If I took it away by force, she would cry."

Chen Zhao opened his mouth and turned to look at little Ge Lin. The skull was one-third the size of little Ge Lin.

To be honest, little Gelin is quite cute holding the skull.

But the key is...this thing is a skull.

Even Chen Zhao himself didn't want to hold a skull.

Of course, she didn't want little Ge Lin to hold the skull.

"What bastard sent that to me?"

"The letter is there, it's the same woman named Finetti from last time."

Chen Zhao's face turned dark. He saw the metal object that this woman mailed to him last time.

He originally thought it was a treasure map, but then he and Fali went to sea to find it.

The result is simply a big hole.

This time I mailed myself a skull again.

What is she trying to do?

Do you have to add some chaos to your life?

"Little Gelin, give this to daddy."

"No, no... Little Gelin's belongs to little Gelin." Little Gelin picked up the skull and ran away.

Chen Zhao caught up and lifted up little Ge Lin's collar.

"No, no, don't rob little Gelin."

"Bring it here." Chen Zhao grabbed it forcefully.

I don't know if there is any danger in this thing, so Chen Zhao is really worried about letting little Ge Lin hold it.

"Dad...give it to me, give it to me..." Little Gelin burst into tears.

Chen Zhao handed little Ge Lin to Fali: "Fali, in the future, as long as it is sent by this woman named Finidi, don't open it casually. Who knows what is inside, at least not if I am here." Open it again."

"Who is this Finetti?"

"An explorer. I have explored with her twice. The things she sent are definitely not ordinary things."

"Is there any magic or curse in this?" Fali also felt that she was too reckless.

She didn't think about it at first, because Chen Zhao would help her unpack the packages before, and she often helped Chen Zhao unpack the packages.

The two of them had never had anything to hide from each other.

Now hearing what Chen Zhao said, and the package contained a skull, Fali suddenly felt that she was a little rash.

"No, Finidi doesn't know magic, but she comes into contact with and studies some ancient civilizations and ruins, and occasionally encounters some supernatural creatures. It's possible that even she herself doesn't know what is being sent. "

"So we'd better err on the side of caution. If you're curious, just give me a call."

"Okay, Chen, I was wrong."

"No, you're right."

"Then what does this skull represent?"
