Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"The Dutch alchemist Punk is best at refining various magic potions. The South African voodoo master Wago is actually a witch doctor. He is the leader of the tribe. He treats diseases and refines voodoo for the people of his tribe. Antidote, he is also the most resolute person to refuse our invitation."

From West's explanation, Chen Zhao probably understood one thing.

All three of them have their own areas of expertise.

But it's not comprehensive enough.

These three aspects are areas that associations have needs for.

If there was one person who could be good at everything these three people are good at, then he would be the most perfect alchemist.

But obviously, with the current reputation and authority of the association, it is not that attractive.

What the association can do now is to attract other psychics with benefits and benefits.

"Did they make any demands?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Punk's demands were unlimited funding for experiments and that we couldn't force him to work."

"Fake, we are not looking for a grandpa to worship and cut off contact with him directly." Chen Zhao despises people who think highly of themselves. Maybe this punk is very capable, but Chen Zhao will not ask for help.

West came to beg Chen Zhao, but what was the Supernatural Association like at that time?

At that time, they couldn't even deal with the evil spirit group in Maple Leaf Community, and there was all kinds of chaos within the association, and there was also a big borer that had been torn into pieces by Chen Zhao.

But what is it like now?

Now the people of the Supernatural Association have built up their confidence and pride.

Maybe it's not perfect yet, but they can already say no to anyone.

The Paranormal Society is willing to recruit more capable psychics.

But it is definitely not a groveling request.

The most intuitive manifestation is the gap in strength.

If there were another haunted community like Maple Leaf Community, there would be five people in the association who could solve the problem alone.

Or three or four people can work together to solve the problem.

There is no such thing as a haunted community that cannot be solved in a few years.

And their strength continues to grow.

The strongest in the past was Jolene Nash, and her pride was far from matching her strength.

But now, Jolene Nash is no longer as proud as she used to be. She knows that there are many people in this world who are better and stronger than her.

Even within the association, there are many people who can defeat her.

West can also bravely say no to the Anti-Terrorist Association and directly negotiate with the other party in a tough manner.

"Where are the other two?" Chen Zhao asked.

"That Japanese Higashino Tenki asked us to help him subdue a ghost king."

"What Ghost King? Do you want us to go to Japan?"

"No, that ghost king was sealed in his family's demon sword, and that demon sword was left behind when he came to the United States."

"Besides this condition, are there any other requirements?"

"No," West said.

"So, are there any clues to the whereabouts of that demon knife?"

"In the past month, four people have been injured by sharp objects in the Los Angeles area, and one of them died. According to the investigation, the blood of the deceased person was drained from his body. We suspect that it is related to the demon knife."

"Regarding this matter, the association has sent people to continue investigating. After all, even if no one has entrusted this matter, it is still within the scope of our duties. In addition, what is the character of this Higashino Tianxi?"

"They are very similar to the Japanese people I know, humble and proud."

"Then the last African witch doctor, Wago, did he put forward any conditions?"

"I mentioned it, but it's basically impossible for us to do it."

"What conditions?"

"Protecting his tribal people and lifting them out of poverty and war."

"So, only the Japanese has some chance, right?"

"Actually, there are still some names on the list, but they are either too weak in ability or have no chance at all and have already pledged their allegiance to other forces."

"Make an appointment with that Japanese guy." Chen Zhao said.

"good."

Chen Zhao wanted to see if the Japanese could get along with him.

If they get along well, then recruit them; if they don't get along, then stop the idea.

For well-known reasons, the relationship between China and Japan has always been very complicated.

What Chen Zhao wants to recruit is a subordinate, not someone who will cause trouble for him.

Therefore, Chen Zhao must make sure that on issues of principle, the Japanese has no conflict with him.

If this Dongye Tianxi was a *****, Chen Zhao would probably kill him directly.

Chen Zhao went to the association headquarters in the afternoon.

When he arrived at the headquarters, Chen Zhao found several unfamiliar cars parked in the parking lot.

When Chen Zhao entered the hall, he saw several uninvited guests.

Chen Zhao's expression changed instantly.

Because it was no one else but people from the Magic Palace.

The first ones are Rococo and Mass.

There were three other guardian knights including Arthur, and one who surprised Chen Zhao was actually Bolton, the San Diego police officer.

"Is it you?" Chen Zhao's face immediately darkened, and he was already planning to take action.

"Hi, Mr. Chen, we meet again." Luo Keke looked at Chen Zhao with a smile.

"Are you here to die?" Chen Zhao said with a dark face.

"Mr. Chen, don't take action yet, we are here to clear up the misunderstanding." said Hibiscus.

"I don't think we had any misunderstanding and you attacked me."

"President, I think there is indeed a misunderstanding between you." West took the initiative to act as a peacemaker and mediate.

"They have actively attacked me."

"Mr. Chen, we are here specifically to apologize to you." said Bian Mashi, "We understand. We originally thought that Mr. Chen deliberately created the Thousand Faced Demon Spirit, so he caused the massacre."

Chen Zhao's face was still gloomy, and he looked at the people in front of him coldly.

"It turned out that we were indeed wrong."

Humble Mass has already learned from West's mouth the reason why Chen Zhao caused the killing.

Although she couldn't accept Chen Zhao's bloody methods, at least Chen Zhao was not the crazy evil wizard she initially thought.

To be honest, Chen Zhao was actually not as angry as he was that day.

Anger was a momentary impulse, and there was no deep hatred between Chen Zhao and them.

Chen Zhao no longer had any killing intention towards them.

But it was still impossible for him to resolve the conflict with them.

"Mr. Chen, regardless of whether you forgive us or not, please accept our apology. In addition, we come here this time and hope to cooperate with the Supernatural Association."

"Cooperation for what? I don't think we need to cooperate."

"It's about Rupert, the demon spirit inside her."

"Any questions?"

"I wish you could hand Rupert over to us."
