Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"It is said? According to who? I'm afraid no one has ever entered that place, or no one has come out at all."

Chen Zhao is not a child and will believe everything anyone says.

Not to mention such unreliable words, what kind of elixir is there?

Where is the elixir in this world?

"This... um..." Carol originally thought that Chen Zhao would at least show some interest.

But Chen Zhao didn't believe it at all, and his tone was full of doubts.

"Okay, Chen, I really hope you can seriously consider my words." Carol said helplessly.

He also knew that he couldn't force anything, so he had no choice but to leave.

At least, he didn't have the leverage to make Chen Zhao's heart flutter.

The three of them returned to the hotel, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Taylor, open the door."

Taylor opened the door, and there stood a thin, hooded man at the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Taylor asked.

"I'm looking for Professor Carroll."

"Professor, there is a person looking for you at the door. Do you know him?"

Carol looked out and said, "Let him come in."

The hooded man walked into the suite and stood in front of Carol.

"I was introduced by Sera."

Carol looked at the hooded man, thought for a moment, and asked, "What are you capable of?"

"I can kill you all."

In an instant, Finetti and Taylor simultaneously raised their guns and pointed them at the hooded man.

"Put it down, put down your guns." Carol waved his hand: "Even if you are very capable, don't say such things. They are likely to be your companions in the future. Of course, the premise is that you can show yourself Ability."

"So how do you want me to show you?"

"Let's do this. As long as you can go to the home of a person I designate and get a painting, I will accept you to join the team." Carol said.

"Okay, where is the painting you want me to get?"

"In Dashan Town, in the villa by Mirror Lake, there is a Chinese painting."

"Okay, I will bring the painting at this time tomorrow."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"Murphy." The hooded man said without looking back.

"Good luck to you then, Murphy."

Taylor closed the door and said meaningfully: "Professor, you are asking him to seek death. Chen is not easy to mess with."

"He comes from a special family. The people in this family are very strong and exceed human limits. Therefore, if he needs to prove his worth, he must at least do something beyond the capabilities of ordinary people."

"Are you sure this won't anger Chen?"

"Okay, I will return it to him when I get the painting."

…

Murphy left the hotel and took out his phone: "Dad, I have already contacted Professor Carroll, but your trick doesn't seem to work. Professor Carroll asked me to go to someone's house to steal a painting. Only They accepted me only after getting this painting.”

"Murphy, are you not cold enough?"

"No, I'm already very cold. I went to watch "Code Name 47" three times for this reason."

"Then have you changed into the suit of the protagonist of "Code Name 47"?"

"I don't have any money. I'm wearing the same hooded outfit I bought last year."

"That's the problem."

"Then what should I do now?"

"Follow Professor Carroll's request and steal the painting."

"I've never been a thief."

“There is a first time for everything.”

"But I don't want to do it."

"Then do you want to make a lot of money?"

"I think." Murphy replied instinctively.

"When you make money, return the money for that painting to that family."

"Okay...but."

"Do you have any more questions?"

"I don't have money for a ride."

…

Murphy came to the other side of Mirror Lake and looked at the luxurious villa opposite, his eyes full of envy.

"I'm really rich. I want to make a lot of money and live in a house like this." Murphy murmured to himself.

Murphy moved his body: "Okay, swim over there, we should be there just in time when it gets dark."

Murphy began to take off his clothes and then got into the water.

"The water here is really cold."

Murphy swam very fast, and the sky gradually darkened.

Murphy saw a man and a beautiful woman on the shore. They were having a barbecue and drinking in the yard.

"I really envy the life of rich people." Murphy said with envy on his face: "I also want to become a rich man, and I also want to be as successful as that man."

Suddenly, something seemed to pull Murphy's feet.

"Is it a big fish?" Murphy didn't take it seriously at first, but soon the thing wrapped around Murphy's feet and pulled him into the water.

"Save...GuluGulu...Save..."

…

Fali looked at the lake and seemed to see something splashing on the water, but because it was too dark, she couldn't see what it was clearly: "Chen, there seems to be someone on the water?"

"No, you saw it wrong. It's a big fish." Chen Zhao said, "Are you full?"

"Well, that's almost it."

Chen Zhao snapped his fingers, and three or four evil spirits rushed out, competing to clean up the front yard.

"It's a bit cold outside, let's go sit inside."

"Um."

Chen Zhao looked back at the lake. He already knew when the man entered the water.

As for who he is, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he broke into his family's territory, so he must have evil intentions.

Regardless of whether he is killed or retained, at least he must suffer enough first.

Chen Zhao waited until Fali fell asleep and then entered the second floor of the basement.

Then Chen Zhao saw a thin man with only one pair of briefs left, cowering in the corner with his hands folded.

The three-headed dog and Xiaojiu were blocking Murphy, and Chen Zhao asked, "Did you strip him naked?"

The three-headed dog and Xiaojiu both shook their heads, indicating that it had nothing to do with them.

"Forget it, no matter if he is a good person or not, what is certain is that he must be a pervert. Eat him."

"Ah... aren't you going to interrogate me? For example, who sent me here, and what is the purpose of my coming?" Murphy shouted in horror.

"No, I think you won't say it. It's getting late and I still want to sleep."

"No, if you ask, you can easily pry my mouth open."

"Do you know?"

"I will, I will."

"Okay, then you say it."

"I told you, will you let me go?"

"I said I would, do you believe it?"

"I believe it." Murphy replied seriously.

"Well, I will let you go." Chen Zhao nodded: "Then tell me who sent you here and what the purpose is."

"Professor Carroll sent me here. He asked me to help him steal a Chinese painting you hung at home."

"Professor Carroll? Are you sent by Professor Carroll?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Is there any evidence?"
