Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Chen, why are you here?" Farr asked.

"I'm here to visit the vegetative patient." Chen Zhao said.

"Then let me lead you there."

Wit Reeds was still lying on the hospital bed, his cheeks already showing the shape of his facial bones. After all, he could only be injected with nutrient solution every day, and he did not exercise. His body functions were almost lost.

Even if he wakes up in the future, it will take a very long time to recover.

His daughter Suma Reeds was not here today. Chen Zhao had already heard that Suma Reeds worked more than fourteen hours a day to support her father's hospitalization and treatment.

"This human soul is damaged." Samael said: "If his soul cannot be repaired, he will sleep forever."

Chen Zhao's heart moved: "Soul damaged?"

"Yes, there are traces of magic on the damaged part of his soul. It seems to be damage caused by magic."

magic? Did Lao Hei do it?

If it is said that Lao Hei's soul was damaged because he practiced magic on Wit Reeds, this would explain why Lao Hei asked him to treat Wit Reeds.

"You know Lao Hei, right?"

"Is he the seducer at home?"

"Well, what happens if the Seducer harms a human?"

"If a soul-seducing messenger kills a living being, the lifespan of the soul-seducing messenger will be reduced by how much the creature's original lifespan is. The soul-seducing messenger can only have a lifespan of about five hundred years at most, so under normal circumstances, the soul-seducing messenger will never go Actively harming a living being.”

Chen Zhao thought for a moment and then asked: "What if this person is Lao Hei? What kind of punishment will Lao Hei receive?"

"There will be no punishment, at least not until he dies."

"The soul is damaged, is there any way to heal it?" Chen Zhao asked again.

"Just repair his soul."

"How to fix it?"

"Use soul fragments and then use soul healing magic to fill it in, but the missing memory cannot be made up for."

"Teach me soul-healing magic."

"I won't."

"What? You are the Demon King, why can't you?"

"Why should I know such low-level magic? And do you think there is anyone I need to heal? I can only kill enemies."

"What do I need from you?"

"I can't, but my men can." Samael said.

"Well, you can be of some use." Chen Zhao curled his lips and said, "You can summon me to hell. I want to learn this soul healing magic."

"I want ten chicken legs and ten pots of catnip."

"Deal, when will you summon me?"

"My body in hell doesn't have your token, so I can't summon you."

"Do you think there is anything on me that can be used as a token?"

"Whatever you use often, just let me take it to hell."

"Then look for one when we get home." Chen Zhao said.

After leaving the ward, Farr was waiting for Chen Zhao at the door.

"How's it going? Have you finished reading?"

"Um."

"Is there any way?"

"This patient has nothing to do with you, why are you so concerned about it?"

"Suma Reeds is in a lot of pain. If you can revive her father, it will be a relief for her."

"I can't guarantee anything." Chen Zhao said.

"Given Suma Reeds' financial situation, she shouldn't be able to afford you, right? And she didn't seem to recognize you the last time you met. Why would you take action?"

"I have my reasons."

"Forget it, I won't ask. You won't tell me the truth anyway."

Chen Zhao and Farr came to the vending machine. Chen Zhao stuffed a few coins and said, "Want a drink?"

Farr ordered a cup of coffee and the two sat on the aisle.

"The 18th is your father's birthday, right?"

"Hey, you actually know?"

"Huinip called me yesterday. We plan to go to Sacramento for a few days. Do you want to come with us?"

"I need to check the time. I don't have as much free time as you."

At this moment, a sudden voice came.

"fraud."

Chen Zhao and Farr were both stunned for a moment. They looked up and saw a red-haired woman standing in front of the vending machine.

"Is she talking about you?" Farr asked in surprise.

Chen Zhao looked at the red-haired woman and found that she looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Who are you……"

"Have you forgotten, I used to be Mr. Rasfa's personal health consultant, and I was fired because of you."

Chen Zhao slapped his head: "Your name is Redela?"

"Hmph." Redela snorted coldly, took the drink and turned to leave.

Farr looked at Chen Zhao: "She seems to have a lot of resentment towards you."

"Maybe she thinks I stole her customers." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.

"Then why did she call you a liar?"

"How do I know? I only met her once." Chen Zhao himself was confused.

"You don't have any relationship with her, do you? This woman looks very beautiful."

"You have such a vivid imagination."

Chen Zhao smiled and shook his head: "It's time for me to go."

At this time, a cart covered with white cloth passed in front of Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao has become accustomed to this.

This is a hospital and it is normal for people to die.

"Human...Master, what is that?"

"When a person dies, a white cloth will be covered over him."

"But that person is not dead, right?" Samael said.

"Not dead?" Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I can hear that man's faint breathing, and his complete soul."

Chen Zhao paused and caught up with the cart.

Farr, who was sitting on the aisle, saw Chen Zhao chasing after him: "What's wrong?"

"I want to see this person." Chen Zhao stopped the cart and said.

At this moment, Tim Waltz and Redella came over.

"What are you doing?" Tim Waltz shouted angrily, his eyes were red and there were tears on his face.

"Mr. Tim, that's a liar," Redella said.

Tim Waltz walked up to Chen Zhao: "What are you going to do to my son's body?"

"Sir, I'm sorry, I saw he seemed to move." Chen Zhao casually made an excuse and said.

"Hoffman is dead and the doctor has confirmed it. Do you want to make a fuss about a dead person?" Redela said: "But it's normal. As a liar, as long as you can get money, you shouldn't mind. Taking advantage of a dead man.”

Farr looked at Chen Zhao: "Chen, it's better not to get too troubled."

"Sir, are you sure you don't need to check again?" Chen Zhao asked.

Tim Waltz hesitated slightly, turned to Redela and asked: "Do you know him?"

"He's just a shameless liar."

"Miss Redela, you keep calling me a liar. Who did I lie to?"

"You are an illegal doctor!" Redela said.

Chen Zhao shrugged: "I admit that I am an illegal doctor, but this does not mean that I am a liar."
