Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao has never been the kind of person who knows how to comfort others.

Chen Zhao only sympathized with Maiev and did not have much personal feelings with her.

So there was only so much he could say.

Besides, he and Maiev didn't really know each other that well.

After listening to Chen Zhao's words, Maiev nodded slightly.

Neri Wen Lansi didn’t know what happened.

But looking at the injuries on Maiev's body, one can probably understand Maiev's hurt.

"Jiggs, I will prescribe some medicine for Maiev, both internally and externally. You will give it to Maiev at that time. In addition, if Maiev's condition changes, you can also give it to me. Call up."

"Ok, I know."

"If I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first." Chen Zhao said.

"Miss Neri, Maiev's condition has just recovered. Can you stay with Maiev for a while?"

"Uh... ok, no problem."

"Oh, by the way, Miss Wen Lansi, your trouble has been solved. Those people will go to jail soon, and the money you were defrauded should be back soon."

Neri Wen Lansi was a little surprised that Chen Zhao resolved the matter so quickly.

Neri Wen Lansi could see that none of them were bad people.

Erdos helped Maiev find a wheelchair.

Neri Wenlansi pushed Maiev for a walk by the artificial lake.

"The scenery here is really beautiful, but the weather has been a bit bad these two days." Neri Wen Lansi said regretfully: "If the weather was good, this place would be even more beautiful."

"It's never nice here," Maiev said.

"Maev, let the past be bygones." Neri Wenlansi thought that Maiev was hinting at her feelings.

"I mean seriously, the weather is always like this here."

"You're not always here..."

"I have been sober for more than ten days. Every day Giggs opens the curtains and opens the windows to let in fresh air."

"It seems that it hasn't rained in the past ten days, right? I don't remember that there have been more than ten consecutive days of cloudy weather in Los Angeles."

"That's all I'm talking about on cloudy days."

Neri Wenlansi looked up and found that the dark clouds in the sky were indeed only covering the nearby area, and the coverage area was not very large.

"Strange." Neri Wen Lansi murmured in confusion: "What is this phenomenon?"

"This is not a natural phenomenon."

"what is that?"

"If I said this was controlled, would you believe it?"

"Miss Maiev." Neri Wenlansi felt that Maiev was mentally unstable.

Otherwise, why would he say such unreasonable things?

"Do you think I'm mentally disturbed?"

"Um...no, no." Neri Wenlansi quickly denied.

"It's natural for you to think so. No normal person would take my words seriously."

Neri Wenlansi looked at Maiev in confusion. Maiev's logic was not confusing, but very clear.

"Although I was in a coma during this period, I was actually not sleeping." Maiev said.

Neri Wen Lansi was even more puzzled. Maiev's words always had a mysterious air.

"Aren't you sleeping? What are you doing?"

"I'm listening to all the sounds here, there are a lot of secrets hidden here."

"I still don't understand."

"I didn't understand it at the beginning either," Maiev said.

"Mr. Chen said that there are many secrets here."

"Go back to the headquarters, the wind here is a bit cold."

"okay."

Back at the headquarters, Maiev suddenly said: "There is an elevator over there, go to that elevator."

Although Neri Wen Lansi didn't understand what Maiev meant, he still obeyed Maiev's request and pushed her to the elevator.

"What's wrong with this elevator?"

"This is the elevator to the basement."

"basement?"

"Um."

Neri Wen Lansi pushed Maiev into the elevator with some curiosity.

"Then what?"

"The next three floors."

When we arrived at the third floor below, the elevator door opened.

Neri Wen Lansi discovered that there was someone down here.

There are also many glass houses here, and a person is locked in a dozen of them.

Neri Wenlansi was startled: "What's going on? Who are they?"

"Prisoners, Mr. Chen's prisoners."

Neri Wen Lansi swallowed. Will he encounter any danger if he enters here?

If Chen Zhao knew that he had come here, would he also lock himself up?

Or was he silenced directly?

"Are you scared?" Maiev asked softly.

"Is this... illegal detention?" Neri Wen Lansi asked uncertainly.

"These people are not protected by the law," Maiev said.

Neri Wenlansi pushed Maiev to a glass house and looked at the prisoners inside.

The prisoner inside was an old man. He glanced at the two women outside, then calmly lay back on the bed and watched TV.

The conditions in the glass room cannot be said to be very bad. Although the space is not large, only a dozen square meters, there is also a separate bathroom.

There is also a single bed, a single sofa, a table, and a TV hanging on the wall.

Neri Wen Lansi also found that the text on the cover of the book above the table was very strange. She actually didn't recognize which country the text on the book came from.

Every prisoner here is very calm, and some prisoners don't even bother to look at the two women outside.

"Who are they?" Neri Wen Lansi asked.

When Neri Wen Lansi pushed Maiev through a room, suddenly, there was a man standing in the floor-to-ceiling window.

The man's eyes were dull, with black circles around his eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept for decades, but his eyes were always staring at Neri Wenlansi and Maiev outside.

Neri Wen Lansi was a little absent-minded and stared blankly at the man inside.

"Ah..." Neri Wenlansi suddenly felt pain on the back of her hand. It turned out that Maiev had pinched the back of her hand.

"Don't stare into his eyes." At this moment, in the next room, a gray-haired old man said, "Are you new?"

"What happened to me just now?" Neri Wen Lansi was a little confused.

But she also felt something strange just now. She actually stared into the eyes of a strange man for so long.

"Offit, you are so troublesome, but I almost succeeded." The man who almost bewitched Neri Wen Lansi with his eyes said dissatisfied: "Don't you want to escape from here?"

"I'm different from you. We will only be locked up here for three years. It's been half a year now, and if you escape from here privately, then you will have to face that man. Do you think you really Can you escape from here?"

"I can't beat him, but as long as I leave this room, no one can stop me wherever I go."
