Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Old Hei, are you there?"

Lao Hei's head came out of the wall: "Is something wrong?"

"I'm summoning a lower-level demon here, is that okay?"

"Can."

After all, this is Lao Hei's territory. Although Chen Zhao is a frequent visitor, he still has to respect Lao Hei.

Chen Zhao summoned Raz, and Raz immediately saluted Chen Zhao.

"Honorable living being, thank you for calling me. How can I help you?"

"I want the fruit of hatching and the water of the Hades Sea."

"Huh? Dear living person, are you planning to turn into a devil? Or who is going to turn into a devil?"

"It's not me, it's my pet. Is this transformation ritual common?"

"A long time ago, there was no precedent for other species to transform into demons. It was not until three hundred years ago that this method of transforming into hybrid demons appeared."

Three hundred years ago? Could it be that this seducer spread the method to hell?

"You seem to still need demon blood. I am willing to contribute demon blood. Oh, by the way, you don't seem to need mine. You have better choices."

"Better? What are the benefits of using advanced demon blood?"

"The success rate is higher, and there is a small chance of unexpected effects."

"What unexpected effect?"

"Special abilities awaken."

"Like a special ability like a demon?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand, what's the price of these two things?"

"Use ten years of demon crystals for the hatching fruit. Use one year of demon crystals for the blood sea water."

"Perfectly crystallized powder, please?"

"Perfectly crystallized powder?" Raz's expression froze when he saw Chen Zhao taking out a bag of perfectly crystallized powder: "You...you...you ground the perfect crystal into powder?"

"yes."

"Oh my god... do you understand what you are doing? You are simply trying to collect natural things. Do you know how precious the perfect crystal is in hell? That is a special offer that only the great lords and demon kings can enjoy. You actually took a perfect crystal and ground it into powder."

This was not the first time that Chen Zhao heard the devil complain like this, but he didn't take it seriously.

Because perfect crystals ground into powder can help him earn more demon crystals.

If you want to gain, you need to learn to give first.

"How about selling me the rest of the perfectly crystalline powder?"

"What do you want in exchange for it? A space ring?"

"Dear humans, this is impossible. Although the perfect crystal powder is still of high value, it cannot be compared with the complete perfect crystal."

"But the value should not be low, otherwise you wouldn't ask me for it."

"If you still have all the perfect crystal powder left, of course you can, but you have already used a lot, so I can't exchange it with you for a space ring."

"Okay...then what are you going to give in exchange for the perfect crystal powder?"

"How about the Pollution Stone? The value is about the same."

"Pollution stone? What is it used for?"

"It can make people or demons sick, and it is controllable. The pollution stone contains all the diseases in the world and hell." Raz took out a green stone.

"I'm a doctor, I don't need this."

"It is precisely because you are a doctor that you need this thing. You can make others sick, and then you can treat them, so that you can make wealth as quickly as possible."

"This is too troublesome. I can go directly to rob. Isn't it faster? There are other things that are more practical."

Raz thought for a while and said, "Spiritual container, maybe you can use this thing."

"Spiritual container?"

"Yes, this kind of spiritual container can absorb other people's spiritual power and then infuse it into the designated target."

"What is the use of this spiritual power?"

"It can make people more energetic. If you feel sleepy, you can use a little mental strength to restore your energy."

"It's not practical at all..." Chen Zhao curled his lips: "What's the price?"

"One third of perfectly crystalline powder."

"It's too expensive. I'll give you a quarter at most."

"All right."

When Chen Zhao saw Raz agreeing so readily, he felt that the price he offered was too high.

Raz took out an hourglass and handed it to Chen Zhao.

"How to use this?"

"If you place it in a crowded place, it will accumulate spiritual power on its own."

"Is it dangerous to others?"

"No, in fact, it is not swallowing, but absorbing the spiritual power emitted by other people. Only the spiritual power emitted by others will be absorbed by it. When you need it, open the lid and take a sip to restore your energy. .”

"Is there anything else good?"

Raz introduced a few more things, but Chen Zhao didn't take any notice of them.

"By the way, are there any substitute gold coins?"

"No more, I only have one substitute gold coin on hand."

"If there are any substitute gold coins next time, remember to tell me."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to hell first."

"goodbye."

Chen Zhao went out again and asked Beelzebub to contribute some demon blood.

"Wanda, come here." Chen Zhao found Wanda who was playing with the three-headed dog. Wanda stuck out her tongue and ran to Chen Zhao.

"Wanda, you don't have much time left to live. Now, I'm going to transform you into a demon. I hope you can understand that this will allow you to live longer. If you agree, just scream. If you don't agree, then scream. Twice."

Woof woof——

"Okay, you agreed twice." Chen Zhao squatted on the ground: "Drink these things, drink them all."

Wanda tilted her head and looked at Chen Zhao. She couldn't understand what Chen Zhao was saying to her.

It can only understand some simple instructions and actions in human language.

Chen Zhao made a drinking gesture: "Drink, drink."

Wanda looked at the colorful liquid in the basin and looked a little hesitant.

I guess it also thinks this is dark cuisine.

"Little one, little two, and little three, come on and drink half of it."

Three huge dog heads came down, and the three heads licked their tongues together. The demon potion that Chen Zhao had worked so hard to prepare had been reduced by half.

"Stop, stop, stop...you have eaten too much."

Ouch——

All three dog heads made happy sounds, they seemed to like the taste.

Of course, after all, it contains perfectly crystallized powder.

Wanda saw Xiaoyi, Xiaoer and Xiaosan so happy, and finally lowered her head to drink the devil's potion.

It tastes weird, but it's delicious.

However, after taking a few sips, Wanda seemed to start to feel sleepy again. She took two wobbly steps and then fell at Chen Zhao's feet.

Woo——

Xiao Yi pushed Wanda with his head, but Wanda didn't respond.

Chen Zhao checked Wanda's physical condition and breathing. It seemed that she was just asleep.

But, is this devil's potion useful?
