Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Your guards are the last supernatural organization to arrive. I'll have people arrange rooms for you. There will be a meeting in the conference hall in the evening about the first competition event."

"good."

Russell Nand really valued the guards and arranged the best rooms for them.

The members of the Guard looked enviously and jealously towards the headquarters of the North American Illuminati.

The environment here is much better than that of their guards.

Their guard team only has an office, which is used for gatherings and meetings.

However, the headquarters of the North American Illuminati has almost all facilities, including training grounds, entertainment areas, accommodation areas, office areas, etc.

"Boss, when can we have a headquarters like this?" Miss Qiao asked.

"It will never be possible for us." Jinli said: "Such a headquarters will cost at least 10 million U.S. dollars. Through our cooperation with the Hawaii state government, it would be good if we can get 1 million U.S. dollars a year, excluding the operational budget. With such a salary, how much is left?"

"And our guard only has eight people. How can we use such a large headquarters?"

Miss Qiao and others actually knew they wouldn't need it, but they still had some illusions.

It's a pity that Jinli didn't cooperate with their fantasy and just told the truth.

In fact, there are many organizations that are as envious of this North American Illuminati headquarters as they are.

However, this headquarters does make them feel the formality and authority of the North American Illuminati.

Sometimes, this is where the so-called authority comes from.

The North American Illuminati is rich and powerful, and holds various activities and competitions all year round, so most supernatural organizations also recognize the authority of the North American Illuminati.

In the evening, after dinner, Jinli went to the conference room.

When he entered the conference room, he found that it was full of people.

By visual inspection, there were at least forty people.

Some of them he knew, and without exception, the people here were the heads or decision-makers of various organizations.

"Jinli, sit here, you're here too... It seems to be even harder for Tide to win this game."

The person who greeted Jinli was a black-haired woman, dressed quite sexy.

And she is Serena, the eldest sister of the supernatural organization Tide, and Tide is a Canadian organization. Because there are fewer supernatural organizations in Canada, Tide is also considered an authoritative organization in Canada.

There are fifteen people in total, which is slightly more than the Guards, but their strength is similar.

The last North American Psychic Competition was the War between the Guard and the Tide.

In the end, Miss Qiao and Dorenko of the Guard narrowly defeated the Tide players.

Jinli sat next to Serena: "I should have a headache when I see you."

They can be regarded as mutual business bragging. Although there is a competitive relationship, they are not real enemies.

In fact, no one who can participate in this competition has a real enemy.

"Ahem...Okay, everyone is here. First of all, welcome everyone. On behalf of the North American Illuminati, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone." Russell South stood in the middle of the conference room: "About everyone gathered here I don’t need to say more about the reasons here. First, let me explain the rules of this competition. This North American Psychic Competition uses team combat. No matter how many people your organization or team has, there can be no more than ten. Of course, If you have less than ten players, then I can only say that unfortunately, you will be in a disadvantageous situation from the beginning of the game."

"If there are twenty people, can we split into two teams?" One person stood up and asked.

"No." Russell South said: "This is not fair to those organizations with smaller numbers."

"The second rule is that in this competition, every competition event will adopt an elimination mechanism. Any team that has not completed any event will be eliminated by the whole team until the fifth round. The remaining teams will compete The final contest.”

"Okay, Mr. Russell, let's get to the point quickly. What is the first competition event?"

"The first event is a test of your basic skills. I believe it won't be difficult for any of your teams. If you don't complete the first competition event, then I have to doubt your level." Russell Nande said: "The first competition event is to catch evil spirits. The time limit is forty-eight hours. You must catch ten evil spirits within forty-eight hours, and you cannot leave the city of Los Angeles. It will start at six o'clock tomorrow night. Forty-eight When the hour is up, if any team fails to finish, they will be eliminated directly.”

"It's too much trouble, why don't you just start tonight?"

"This competition is somewhat dangerous. Tomorrow I will sign a life and death agreement and insurance for you to ensure that if any accident occurs during the competition, our North American Illuminati will not be blamed. "

"It's really troublesome. Anyone who can come to participate in the competition must be well prepared. No one will blame you, the North American Illuminati."

Most people feel that the North American Illuminati is too cumbersome.

“When did Russell become such a mother-in-law?”

"So they are a formal official organization, we are not." Serena said: "To be honest, if Tide had such strong financial support and numbers as the North American Illuminati, I would definitely do the same."

“Is it really necessary to sign an insurance agreement?”

"If your men are injured or killed during the game, how much compensation can your guards provide?"

"Forehead……"

"If you have insurance, even if there is a casualty, you can get a lot of compensation, why not." Serena said.

"Well...well, it does make sense." Jinli also had to admit that the North American Illuminati's approach was correct. Just like the funding of their guard, if it was just an ordinary injury, he could still afford the medical expenses of the team members. But if there are serious casualties, the Guards really can't afford much money in compensation: "But since you have to sign insurance, I'm afraid this competition won't be that simple."

…

"Mr. Russell." A woman with the same white hair came to Russell Nand's side.

"Do the participating organizations have any objections?"

"No, most of them agree with our arrangement."

"It's a pity that the Supernatural Association won't participate, otherwise we could use this competition to humiliate them severely."

"Mr. Russell, actually there is no chance at all."

"Oh? What do you have in mind?"

"I heard that when the Supernatural Association purified Maple Leaf Community, it did not eliminate those evil spirits, but convinced them to be subordinates of the Supernatural Association and then took them away. Therefore, there must be a large number of evil spirits in the Supernatural Association."

"Tsk...this group of trash can't even completely purify the evil spirits. In the end, they must have negotiated with the evil spirits group in a shameful way." Russell Nand said disdainfully.

"We can guide some organizations to go to the headquarters of the Supernatural Association to arrest them. At that time, regardless of whether they agree to arrest the evil spirit or not, they will lose their face."
