Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao came out again holding several cans of beer, and this time the same bizarre disappearance did not happen again.

However, this matter has always been a thorn in Chen Zhao's heart.

After all, he is also a senior supernatural person, and this is his home.

But in his own home, supernatural events happened that he couldn't understand.

Chen Zhao had to be vigilant.

After Fali went to bed, Chen Zhao ran to the living room.

"Housekeeper, help me find out the surveillance cameras in the living room and kitchen from 12:05 to 10."

Soon, surveillance footage began to play on the TV.

From the surveillance screen, you can see that you entered the kitchen at six points.

Then he came out holding the beer. The whole process only took about twenty seconds.

Chen Zhao stared at the camera.

At this moment, the surveillance screen suddenly flashed.

Then, the beer in his arms disappeared from the screen.

what?

Chen Zhao frowned, what on earth is it?

There was nothing in the surveillance, but it did happen.

Chen Zhao was just like himself in the surveillance screen, with a confused look on his face.

Chen Zhao got up and walked to the place where the incident occurred.

Chen Zhao looked around for suspicious things.

Finally, Chen Zhao's eyes fell on the ink painting hanging on the wall.

Chen Zhao stared at the ink painting.

This is an ordinary landscape painting.

The clouds, mountains and mist give it a unique flavor.

After getting this painting, Chen Zhao didn't find anything special about it.

Is there something wrong with this painting?

Chen Zhao was not sure either.

However, among the surroundings, this painting seems to be the most suspicious.

And the origin of this painting is very strange.

Among the many collections of Ted Pampton.

Most of them are valuable collectibles.

Even the voyage's diary, initially deemed worthless, has now proven valuable.

So now Chen Zhao couldn't help but wonder about the origin of this painting.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao saw something in the clouds, mountains and fog.

Chen Zhao kept staring, staring!

Moved……

That thing moved, it was not a mountain in the mist.

The next moment, Chen Zhao felt that the world was spinning.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhao found himself at the foot of a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist.

Damn, there is really a problem!

I came into the painting by myself.

I am in the painting now!

Although Chen Zhao didn't pay much attention to this painting in the past, the scenery in the painting was at least somewhat recognizable.

But at this moment, the clouds and fog began to disperse.

Chen Zhao saw a giant thing like the top of a mountain... a giant beast!

A huge turtle carrying a dozen peaks on its shell.

The turtle's head stretched out in front of Chen Zhao, and its neck was slender.

Not a turtle, but a turtle...

This is a super giant turtle.

However, this giant turtle seems to have only three legs.

Chen Zhao seemed to have something stuck in his throat.

I couldn't scream even if I wanted to.

Chen Zhao didn't know its strength.

But in terms of size, it was twenty to thirty times larger than Beelzebub Zophi's real body.

It's like the difference between the princess and Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

Anyway, it’s big, big, very big.

Chen Zhao thinks that among humans, he is basically at the monster level.

But his right arm only has about five tons of strength at best.

Compared with the super beast in front of me, there is no comparison at all.

"Um... who are you?" Chen Zhao asked in Mandarin.

It should be the bastard in China.

"Fu**, I'm your uncle."

Then, this bastard showed off some English with Chen Zhao.

"..." Chen Zhao was speechless: "Are you a foreign monster?"

"You are the monster. Your whole family is a monster. Looking at my figure, why should you call me a mythical beast?"

"Why do you know English?"

"Nonsense, I have been wandering in the world of foreigners for more than a hundred years. I am hung up on the wall every now and then. Everyone around me speaks English, and even fools have learned it."

"Then...you can hear everything we say outside?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you don't hear it, you can learn it?"

"All right."

Chen Zhao was speechless. This old bastard was a senior international student.

"Who are you always?"

"Look at my three legs, what do you think of?" The giant turtle looked at Chen Zhao expectantly.

"A three-legged turtle."

"..." The three-legged turtle was very upset: "I am the divine turtle."

"Uh... I'll go back and read the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

The three-legged turtle was even more upset: "Didn't you think of it at all? For example, the Nuwa Empress or something."

"Ah...I know, I remembered it." Chen Zhao clapped his hands.

"Haha... I knew that someone still knew about me." The three-legged turtle was very happy.

"You are Empress Nuwa's mount, right?"

"****" Three-legged Turtle's spoken English is quite fluent, even better than Chen Zhao's.

"Isn't it?"

"I am the hero of repairing the sky!!" The three-legged turtle roared: "Empress Nuwa chopped off one of my feet and used my feet to support the heaven and the earth."

"oh."

"Oh? Shouldn't you be more excited?"

"Ah...I'm so excited."

"Too perfunctory."

"Then what do you mean by nesting in the painting?"

"In order to commend my achievements, Empress Nuwa said that I could make a request to her, and then I said that I wanted to live forever."

"Then what?"

"Then you'll lock me in this river map."

"Is there something wrong with Nuwa's understanding of eternity?"

Chen Zhao clearly saw that the corner of Lao Turtle's mouth twitched: "It's a bit of a mistake."

This reminded Chen Zhao of a famous joke.

It is said that a man picked up a magic lamp, and the lamp god granted him a wish.

The person then makes a wish to learn to swim.

Then the magic lamp turned the man into a fish.

Chen Zhao originally thought this was a wish, but now seeing the way Nuwa fulfills her wish, it seems quite perfunctory.

"In this river map, the passage of time is thousands of times slower than in the outside world, so it makes sense that Nuwa is right. I am here to live forever."

"You are really generous." Chen Zhao said with emotion.

"Nonsense, if I wasn't more optimistic, I would have gone crazy."

"..."

Forget it, it’s better not to complain about Nuwa, so as not to suffer retribution.

"Then what do you mean by always calling me in?"

"I didn't call you in, you ran in on your own."

"What? I ran in by myself? Why don't I know?"

"This is Hetu. No one can enter or exit at will except Nuwa Empress."

"Then I'm going out like this now?"

"have no idea."

"Don't deal with me."

"I really don't know. If I wanted to know, I would have gone out long ago." said the old turtle.

Chen Zhao was very upset, this is what happened.

Come on, help me...

"Do you have any alcohol on you?"

"By the way, you took the wine just now?" Chen Zhao was shocked.

"Yes, I can bring things in from outside, but I can't bring people in." Lao Turtle said: "How about changing the angle of the TV in your living room? I can't see the TV, or hang the river map at another angle. .”
