Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The two entered the depths of the cave and saw a safe weighing about a ton.

There is no doubt that this is the purpose of their trip.

"Safe? Do you know the password?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I don't know...how I could possibly know the password."

"Then pry it open." Chen Zhao suggested.

"Is an iron pick okay?"

Chen Zhao reached out to take the pickaxe, tried it, and broke the handle of the pickaxe.

It would be too fanciful to use a pickaxe to open a safe.

But it was even more impossible to move it back. This safe weighed at least one thousand kilograms. Even if Chen Zhao dragged it out of the cave, it would not be possible to cross the mountain road of more than ten or twenty kilometers.

Unless it is transported by helicopter, this is even less likely.

So we can only try to open the safe here and everyone will divide the spoils on the spot.

Chen Zhao tried it and confirmed that the safe was of good quality.

This safe was also indifferent to his strange power.

This is not an ordinary iron block, but alloy steel. Even if you take a bomb, it may not explode.

"Do you have any idea?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure it will work."

Pierce Nan came forward and pressed his palm on the safe.

From the back of Pierce Nan's palm, white fluorescent tentacles began to extend.

These fluorescent tentacles are not physical, and the tentacles penetrate into the safe.

After half a minute, Pierce Nan's tentacles dissipated and his hand returned to his palm.

Chen Zhao asked: "Is it okay?"

Pierce Nan shook his head: "The mechanism of this safe is too complicated. Before I could figure it out, my magic 'inspiration tentacles' disappeared."

Suddenly, Chen Zhao's right side began to act like a monster again.

Chen Zhao felt that the Gluttonous Mouth opened its mouth again. Generally speaking, if something was going to harm Chen Zhao, the Gluttonous Mouth would appear on its own initiative, or there would be something delicious.

Chen Zhao is not in any danger this time, so there is only one possibility.

In this safe, there is something that a glutton would like to eat.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhao's arm suddenly raised. It was not Chen Zhao who wanted to raise it, but the Gluttonous Mouth controlling Chen Zhao's arm.

"Chen, what are you going to do?"

Pierce Nan was still confused when Chen Zhao's palm suddenly became larger, and then he saw Chen Zhao's palm open and bite a corner of the safe.

With a click, one of the safe's bells was bitten off, and then the mouth on Chen Zhao's palm began to chew the alloy steel.

"What kind of magic is this?" With Pierce Nan's understanding of magic, he obviously didn't understand what it was.

In his opinion, this should also be some kind of magic.

However, this kind of magic seems to be very lethal. The amount of alloy steel bitten by the glutton's mouth weighs at least dozens of kilograms.

Chen Zhao felt depressed, and when he turned around to say anything, he would have to train himself to control the glutton's mouth.

Lest it be so willful every time, come out whenever it wants, and act willfully at all.

It's okay in front of Pierce Nan. At least Pierce Nan is also a wizard. Although he is a war scumbag, at least he has been exposed to supernatural powers.

If the mouth of the glutton is exposed in public next time, it will be in trouble.

You can’t say you’re performing magic, right?

Pierce Nan was amazed by Chen Zhao's magic, but Chen Zhao felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it.

At this moment, the glutton who had chewed up the alloy steel and swallowed it opened his mouth and took another big bite of the safe.

Chen Zhao felt that his right arm was a little heavier, but only a little.

Doesn’t the glutton’s mouth want to eat something inside?

Does it want to eat the safe itself?

Chen Zhao reached out and touched his right arm, feeling like it was touching metal.

Mouth of the Glutton Is this integrating the properties of alloy steel?

After two bites, the glutton's mouth was full, and then Chen Zhao's right hand returned to normal.

After eating these two bites, the glutton had chewed away at least more than a hundred kilograms of alloy steel.

But the safe was already open, and a third of the door was missing.

Pierce Nan took out all the contents of the safe.

To be honest, there are quite a lot of things.

A very special scroll caught Chen Zhao's attention. This scroll was stored in the style of an ancient Chinese painting scroll. The head and tail were framed by redwood and rolled into a roll.

It was also covered with a layer of plastic cover to prevent it from getting wet. Chen Zhao opened the plastic cover and opened the scroll inside. It was a splash-ink landscape painting, with the last inscription Wenlan Mountain View.

Vinland Mountain View? Is this the name of a place or the name of the painter?

Chen Zhao had never heard of such a painter, and he didn't know if it was worth anything.

However, judging from the texture of the scroll, this scroll must be quite old.

"Did you choose this painting?" Pierce South asked.

Chen Zhao thought for a while: "Okay, let's just use this picture."

"Then I'll pick one too. I want this." Pierce Nan picked out a pocket watch, which was probably quite old.

"I want this." Chen Zhao picked up another book. There was some kind of diary written on the cover of the book, and the pages were yellow and black.

Chen Zhao has one standard when choosing things. Whatever looks shabby is what he wants.

You two take one piece, I take one piece, no one says a word.

There were more than thirty pieces in the collection, and both of them took more than a dozen pieces. However, there was only one piece left. The two decided by guessing, and Chen Zhao won the ownership of the last piece of the collection.

As for who wins and who loses in the end, it’s really hard to say.

Because Chen Zhao was not sure how much the collection he chose was worth.

The two of them put their chosen collections into their carry-on backpacks and set off home.

After several more hours of walking on the mountain road, Chen Zhao and Pierce Nan finally left the mountain forest area.

"Chen, it's a pleasure to work with you." Pierce Nan finally felt relieved. Chen Zhao did not intend to take advantage of others.

If Chen Zhao really wanted to take advantage of others, he would probably become his pet Yoneda Kou.

In fact, Chen Zhao was also on guard against him, after all, it was their first time working together.

When she returned home, Fali saw Chen Zhao coming home slovenly.

"Chen, are you back from treasure hunting?" Fali knew that Chen Zhao went treasure hunting yesterday.

"Well, it's all here." Chen Zhao put down his backpack.

"What are all these things?" Fali also knew nothing about these collections.

"Today I will take these things to ask professionals."

"Why don't you take a rest? You haven't slept all night, have you?"

"You're in good condition. Are you going to work?"

"Well, clean up Wanda and the others. They are all dirty and bloody... You didn't want them to swallow that Pierce Nan, right?"

Fali also knew that Chen Zhao was not that kind of person, so she joked casually.

"I'm afraid they'll have bad stomachs."

It seems that it will be difficult to update ten times today. I’m sorry for everyone. I slept too much last night.
