Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"I'm at the gate of the community, you can come out." Chen Zhao dialed Laurent's phone: "Is anyone living here? Why is it so dark?"

"Chen, I drank a little too much, please come in and help me."

"From what I hear, your tone seems quite normal."

"It's true."

"Why is there no sound at all around you? Are all your friends drunk?"

"They are chatting next to them. They are all old men and women. Do you want to listen to their chat?"

"never mind."

Chen Zhao could only get off the car and go into the community to pick him up.

It’s just that I just entered the community.

Chen Zhao felt something was wrong here.

There is a smell of decay in the air here.

Suddenly, an evil spirit appeared without warning and rushed towards Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao raised his feet without blinking.

ah--

The evil spirit screamed and was kicked to pieces by Chen Zhao.

Another one, another one...

"Damn, must I have broken into some evil spirit's lair?"

Chen Zhao casually dealt with a few evil spirits. These were all ordinary evil spirits.

There wasn't even the slightest threat. Chen Zhao basically punched one person at a time without any nonsense.

Chen Zhao also felt that there were many eyes coveting him around.

But those eyes didn't want to come out, obviously they were very afraid of Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao didn't feel any threats around him.

It’s not just people who bully the weak and fear the strong, evil spirits are also the same.

Just kidding, just beat a few evil spirits to death, and other evil spirits will go up and die if they are not in their right mind.

Chen Zhao went straight to the address Laurent said.

When he arrived at the door, Chen Zhao glanced at the door.

There is candlelight in the room, so this should be it.

Chen Zhao knocked on the door.

Laurent, who was inside the house, heard a knock at the door.

After looking at Pamela, Pamela said calmly: "Go and open the door, your son-in-law is here."

"Coming? Didn't you say..."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by and the candle was blown out.

Laurent shuddered because he saw Pamela's body slowly disappearing.

Just like the smoke gradually dissipating from the heart of a candle.

"Pamela?"

Laurent was sweating on his forehead.

"ah……"

Laurent suddenly screamed in fright and rushed to the door.

Seeing Chen Zhao being turned towards him.

"Chen, help."

Chen Zhao turned his head, and what Laurent saw was not Chen Zhao's face, but a terrifying and strange face.

"Ah..." Laurent was frightened and fainted.

"Damn, I should have known better not to scare him." Chen Zhao looked depressed.

He took Laurent's arm and walked out.

At this time, a pendant fell out of Laurent's pocket.

Chen Zhao picked up the pendant and took a look. It was another key?

Are they together with those keys?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Forget it, take it first and talk about it later.

Chen Zhao didn't care whether it was personal to Laurent or not.

On the way, Laurent woke up in the back seat.

"Where am I?"

The scene before he fell unconscious flashed through Laurent's mind.

Suddenly, he came to his senses.

"Fake Squid, Chen, did you pretend to be a ghost to scare me just now?"

"Laurent, who were you with just now?"

Laurent suddenly turned pale and his lips began to tremble.

"Chen, I...I may have encountered a ghost."

Chen Zhao was not too surprised by this. That area was obviously a bit unusual.

There are so many evil spirits appearing just a few steps away. It's not a problem until there are ghosts.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"I made an appointment to meet a friend I haven't seen in twenty years, and then when you came, she suddenly disappeared."

"Oh, you're in hell."

"Don't you believe me?" Laurent looked at Chen Zhao who was driving angrily.

"No, I believe it."

"You just don't believe me. If you did, your reaction wouldn't be so dull."

"Then how do you think I should react?" Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.

"Didn't you encounter anything when you came?"

Laurent felt that Chen Zhao still didn't believe him.

"No."

This made Laurent even more depressed.

Obviously he wanted to scare Chen Zhao.

In the end, Chen Zhao didn't scare him, but instead scared him half to death.

Laurent's heart suddenly became heavy.

He rummaged through his pocket and took out a few old photos.

"Are you crying?" Chen Zhao glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Laurent wiping away tears.

"Chen, will the person you said died still appear in front of you?"

"Maybe." The topic suddenly became serious. Chen Zhao saw that Laurent seemed really sad: "Tell me about you and your friend."

"You don't believe it."

"Just listen to it as a story."

Along the way, Laurent became nagging and kept thinking about the past.

"She said that there was a plague there twelve years ago, and maybe she died at that time."

Laurent said seriously: "But it's good that I can meet my old friend again. No matter what she becomes, she will still be her."

"I'll tell Whinple."

"asshole!"

…

Back home, Laurent's mood was still so low, he sat by the lake and watched the night view.

Chen Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to him. It was his business to be sentimental.

Chen Zhao didn't intend to play with him.

After taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, Fali was still awake.

Chen Zhao went up and grabbed Fali.

"Chen, I saw dad sitting by the lake. Did something unhappy happen to him?"

"Maybe he encountered a ghost."

"ah?"

"It's okay, that ghost has no ill intentions towards him."

Chen Zhao slowly rubbed Fali's skin, arousing Fali's desire.

Chen Zhao didn't worry about it, and he didn't worry about Laurent anyway.

Just as he was about to do something inappropriate to Fali, Laurent's knock on the door came.

Chen Zhao suddenly became furious. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Laurent's frowning face.

"Chen, come drink with me."

"It's already one o'clock in the morning." Chen Zhao said with a dark face.

"I'm so empty right now."

"Would you like me to find a woman for you? While Whinip is away."

"..." Fali.

Chen Zhao looked back at Fali, who motioned for Chen Zhao to accompany her father.

Chen Zhao is furious, should he find someone to kill him?

That night Laurent became sentimental.

Laurent, who drank purple green wine for the first time, burst into tears.

Chen Zhao wished he could knock him unconscious.

One night was already unbearable. It would have been better if we had stayed for a few more nights.

Forget it, forget I'm afraid of you.

After drinking until about four o'clock in the morning, Laurent finally got tired.

Chen Zhao just threw him on the sofa and ran back to the room to sleep.

But early in the morning, Chen Zhao heard the knock on the door again.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still rubbing his daughter in his arms, Chen Zhao would have wanted to kill him.

Chen Zhao opened the door with a dark face and looked at the bad old man in front of him: "What are you doing?"

"Chen, I want to go there again. Can you accompany me?"

"Are you crazy? You want to go there even though you know it is haunted. Even if you want to go, don't drag me there."
