Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The moment the two entered the house, the door suddenly slammed shut.

"Laurent, why did you close the door so hard? You scared me."

"No...I didn't lock it up."

Assand felt Laurent's hands shaking.

"Not you?"

"not me."

Tick ​​tock—tick tock—

Assande and Laurent both heard the sound of the second hand moving.

A figure appeared in the darkness.

"Ah...ah...ghost, ghost, ghost!" Asander suddenly shouted.

Laurent's hands and feet froze, looking at the figure coming out of the darkness.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Pamela?

"Push me away, push me away..."

"Fake... why do you two old bastards come here?" Pamela said in a tone that said she hated iron.

She was really angry with these two old bastards.

"Pamela? Are you not a ghost?"

"She...she...is really a ghost..." Laurent clearly felt that when Pamela came closer, the hair on his body stood up, like an instinctive reaction.

"Why are you here?"

"look at you……"

"You want to come, why don't you come during the day? Do you know how dangerous it is here?"

"Haha... don't be joking, Laurent, you and Pamela have already planned it together. You are just teasing me, right?"

Asander suddenly seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels, and was not afraid at all.

He often played this kind of prank in the past, but he really scared himself just now.

Assand smiled and pushed the wheelchair towards Pamela.

"Pamela, you don't seem to have changed much. Look at how old we both have become."

Assand reached out and pulled Pamela's arm.

But, it was empty.

Pamela was still standing in front of him, but he couldn't grab her hand or touch her body.

Assand's expression froze, and then he turned his neck stiffly.

"Laurent...she...she seems to be a real ghost."

Laurent's smile was also stiff: "I told you."

"Farke, I thought you were kidding me."

"You said you weren't afraid."

"..."

"You shouldn't come here." Pamela said: "It's very dangerous here."

"What kind of danger could there be? You won't hurt us." Laurent said, "Didn't I come here last time?"

"Last time it was because of that candle, which is the candlelight of the Rest. As long as the candle is lit, the evil spirits wandering outside cannot see you." Pamela said.

"Then...then...then light another one."

"No more." Pamela said: "When the clock strikes eight o'clock, the evil spirits will come out and move."

Pamela pointed to the clock hanging on the wall. There were only more than two minutes left before eight o'clock.

"Let's leave now..."

"It's too late." Pamela shook her head: "You hide in the basement and don't come out before one o'clock."

"Huh? You want to go into that basement?" Laurent was also full of fear about that basement.

"By the way, don't touch that skeleton."

Assand shuddered again: "Is there another skeleton in the basement?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go to the basement quickly."

Laurent quickly pushed Assand to the entrance of the basement.

But Assand is now in a wheelchair, and Laurent can't hold him.

I can only push the wheelchair and move down one step at a time.

"Be careful, I don't want to die here."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't disturb me..."

Suddenly, the wooden steps under Laurent's feet broke without warning.

"ah……"

Assand then jumped forward, falling out of the wheelchair and falling heavily to the ground.

Assand squeezed his hand, as if he had pinched something.

bone? Is it a bone?

Assand quickly retracted his hand.

"Laurent, I seem to have touched the skeleton. Didn't Pamela say you can't touch the skeleton? What will happen?"

"How do I know if you fell to death?"

Because it was too dark in the basement, he couldn't see clearly.

But at this moment, there was suddenly a little more light in the basement.

The bright red light, in front of them, had two more scarlet lights.

It was the red light coming out of the skull's eye sockets.

Giggle--

The hole made a crisp collision sound.

Assande and Laurent were now so scared that their hands and feet were cold.

"Giggle...I woke up again? How long have I slept?" The skeleton made a voice.

The skeleton began to look at his arms again: "It turns out that I was already dead when I fell asleep."

"You two bastards, you did wake this guy up after all."

At this time, Pamela appeared at the basement door.

"Do you need me to explain?" Laurent looked at Pamela helplessly.

"Pamela, you are actually dead too." The skeleton looked at Pamela.

"I was killed by you."

"Me? I didn't kill you." The skeleton said.

"When you died, a plague curse was released on you, killing me and more than a hundred people."

"Really, that's it." The skeleton murmured.

"Don't go anywhere, stay with me." Pamela said.

"Where is our daughter?" the skeleton suddenly asked.

Laurent and Assander looked at each other. Is this guy Pamela's husband?

"He died too, also by your hands."

"No, you lied to me. Although I only have bones left, I can feel that she is still alive and she still exists."

"So what? Do you still want to appear in front of her with such a ghost look?"

"Do you want to stop me?" Skeleton looked at Pamela.

Pamela spat lightly from her mouth, and a stream of cold air sprayed on the skeleton's body.

The skeleton found that his lower body was frozen: "You actually found a way to transform into a banshee? I didn't expect that you could really transform into a banshee."

"No, I'm not really a succubus yet."

The skeleton moved, but failed to move its lower body: "Do you think you can stop me like this? As long as you wait until the early morning, your strength will begin to weaken, but I won't. All you do is in vain."

Pamela's face was solemn, and she glanced at Laurent and Assand, who were huddled in the corner: "Laurent, call your son-in-law here."

"What?"

"Call him."

"I'm not in the mood to play tricks on him right now..." Laurent was very scared.

"I'm not trying to trick him... I just need his help."

"There's nothing he can do to help."

"No, he can help, and only he can help."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"He was able to take you out last time, so he can take you out this time."

"What?"

"I don't know who he is, but he can help," Pamela said.
