Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Aunt Fali, I'm back."

Fali stepped forward and hugged Xinli: "Welcome home."

A group of children quickly ran to Xin Li.

Everyone warmly welcomed Xin Li back.

Everyone was very happy, after all, Xin Li had been away for more than two months.

"It's good to be back. If one person is missing at Christmas, I always feel that something is missing." Fali touched Xin Li's hair: "Xin Li, have you grown taller again?"

Two months ago, Xin Li looked like a big child.

But two months have passed, and Xin Li's face has become a bit more weathered, and there is a bit of seriousness between her eyebrows, and she looks a lot more mature.

In the evening, everyone gave Xin Li a reception feast.

Chen Zhao directly booked the entire restaurant.

To be honest, two months doesn’t seem like a long time.

But both Chen Zhao and Fali felt the difference in Xin Li.

She has really grown up.

Although she can still play with her younger siblings, her eyes are completely different.

She used to play with her younger siblings, but she was actually playing herself.

Play now is actually companionship.

At the dinner table, she knows how to pick up food for her younger brothers and sisters.

When I see my younger siblings dropping something on their clothes, I know how to take the initiative to wipe it off for my younger siblings.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Zhao found that the atmosphere in the hotel was a bit strange.

When passing through the hotel lobby, the hotel employees were all standing ready and standing straight.

Chen Zhao was a little surprised. The hotel employees didn't look at him with guarded or hostile eyes.

However, that look was really strange.

At this moment, a priest in white robes came over.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen?"

"I am, you are?"

"We are His Majesty John's entourage, and His Majesty John wants to see you."

Sent by old man John?

What did he see himself doing?

"Where? When?"

"Now, if it is convenient, please come with me now."

Chen Zhao looked back at his family.

Fali nodded: "Go ahead."

"Take care of the children."

"Um."

Chen Zhao left with these church people.

No wonder the people in the hotel looked at me differently.

Although the Vatican is only a religious country, its status here is supreme.

For Westerners, this is a sacred place.

The pope is the messenger of God.

Chen Zhao belongs to the group of non-believers.

Even though Chen Zhao has been exposed to many supernatural events.

Superhumans, demons, angels, gods, and even aliens.

But Chen Zhao still has no faith.

Even Chen Zhao still believes that gods are just more powerful humans.

Even other supernatural species are just a step ahead in evolution.

This kind of thinking is typical of atheism and lack of belief.

Of course, Chen Zhao will not deny the significance of religion.

In this era, religion has changed from worship to spiritual guidance.

God is no longer the omnipotent and supreme being in religion.

God serves as a spiritual sustenance for people.

The car stopped in front of a church in the Vatican.

This church is much more ordinary than the St. Peter's Basilica that Chen Zhao visited last time.

There was soft light from the church windows.

Chen Zhao walked into the church under the guidance of the priest.

Old John was kneeling in front of the cross, praying and chanting the Bible.

"Please wait a moment, His Majesty is doing his homework."

Chen Zhao nodded and sat on the seat next to him.

After a few minutes, Old John's prayer ended.

These church etiquette are quite complicated.

Old John also needed to wash his hands after finishing his prayers.

After a series of steps, Old John walked up to Chen Zhao.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello, Your Majesty." Chen Zhao had a very good impression of Old John.

Even better than that old man Zhang Tianyi.

However, Chen Zhao would be friends with Zhang Tianyi, but not with Old John.

Because old John would be unapproachable.

This inaccessibility is not an inaccessibility based on status.

It's the brilliance of old man John's supreme personality.

It seemed that everyone standing in front of him would feel like a bad person.

This old man rejects all evil, and those who come into contact with him can see all the human virtues in him.

And discover all the evil in yourself.

So he can be an elder, a teacher, or a guide.

But they will never become friends.

"Mr. Chen, I suddenly realized that you were lying to me."

"Uh... I don't understand." Chen Zhao responded pretending to be stupid, he just didn't intend to admit it anyway.

"Kmore Daken is dead."

"so what?"

"No, his death is deserved, because I once made a prophecy for him that he would not survive this year, but I found out that he was killed by you."

"Um...how did you find out?" Chen Zhao looked at Old John in surprise.

"He lost the bet." Old John said, "Now his ability is with you."

"Do you know what he's capable of?"

"Yes I know."

"But you never stopped him."

"I stopped him, but you don't know it. He died under his own power. In the mouths of you Easterners, this is called cause and effect."

"Then Your Majesty, did you call me here today to challenge me?"

"No, I will not avenge anyone, let alone Kemore Daken."

"Then what does Your Majesty mean by calling me here today?"

"Let's make small talk and confirm your guesses."

"Then His Majesty has decided."

"Yes, it's confirmed." Old John nodded.

Chen Zhao stared at Old John. He always felt that Old John called him here not just to confirm this matter.

There must be something else going on.

"Well, there are other things. If there is another big incident around the world next time, I hope Mr. Chen can help."

"What if I refuse? Do you want to sanction me?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Mr. Chen, I'm not threatening you. I just want to tell you that the power you obtained from Kemal Daken is very vicious. You need to use justice to neutralize his power."

"My power is not only the capture of Kemoor Daken, but also other powers also come from hell."

"The power from hell is not all evil. Even if it is evil power, if it is used by righteous people, it is not evil. I just want to tell you that some power will have a causal relationship, and Kemor Daken's Power is exactly the kind of cause-and-effect category.”

"I feel that the world now is very peaceful and safe, and major incidents are less likely to occur."

"The world is far more fragile and volatile than you think."
