Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao thought for a while: "Be patient."

"Wow..." Alas cried very sadly and desperately.

"Forget it, take your time, get me a book first."

Alas cut off another lock of hair and lit it on fire in front of Chen Zhao just like last time.

Then a magic book appeared from the ashes.

The members of the association have all seen this magic of Arras.

Alas's own fighting ability is very weak, but she is of extraordinary significance to the association.

Chen Zhao felt a little disgusted when he saw this small magic book.

The more body parts Alas removes, the more important the magic book that can be summoned becomes.

Even now most magic books cannot be taken out.

If Alas had to summon the magic book, Alas himself would probably have to be sacrificed.

Alas looked at Chen Zhao timidly, and then covered his hair lovingly.

She was afraid that Chen Zhao would be dissatisfied with the summoned magic book and would cut off more of her hair.

"What are you looking at? Do I look like such a cruel person?"

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes, took the magic book and waved his hand: "Kneel down."

As if granted amnesty, Alas retreated timidly.

Chen Zhao looked through the magic book and found the record about the key.

This magic book is a self-narrated diary.

Chen Zhao is very lucky. This magic book contains such a piece of information.

…

Vian:

I met Amy again and she stole my golden key.

And she figured out how to use it before I did.

She began to become different, she was able to sense more elements, and her adaptability to the environment became extremely strong.

Although I defeated her again and threw her into the abyss.

I thought I killed her, but one night fifteen years later, she crawled out of the abyss again.

She became somewhat unfamiliar with her, and her eyes became blind, but her sense of smell and hearing became extremely sharp.

She found me, and I don't know how she survived in that dark abyss.

But I know that this must be related to the golden key.

She has become stronger than before, but she is still no match for me.

Because in fifteen years, I also found a key, the silver key.

And I also figured out how to use the key. This time I killed her and got the golden key from her.

…

Chen Zhao finished reading this brief self-narration.

All content is from the first perspective of this person named Wei An.

From his autobiography, he also mentioned the person who once owned and used the golden key, Amy.

After using the golden key, Amy gained strong ability to adapt to the environment.

Chen Zhao's heart moved, judging from the literal meaning.

The real purpose of the golden key is not that it can only breathe in water as I initially thought.

It is about adaptability to the environment. In different environments, the body will instinctively produce certain characteristics to adapt to changes brought about by the environment.

There is also the induction of elements, and elements are auras.

In other words, he can sense more spiritual energy.

This is good news, he can speed up his cultivation.

However, the golden key does not make a person unkillable, it just improves certain aspects.

Moreover, if you are imprisoned in certain special and extreme environments for a long time, your body will undergo more extreme mutations.

Chen Zhao felt that this might be the true purpose of the golden key.

But he still hesitated, maybe what was recorded here was not comprehensive.

Perhaps even the author Wei An himself has not discovered the use of the golden key.

He only found out from Amy about the purpose of the golden key, but he hasn't completely figured it out yet.

At the same time, in this self-report, Wei An also said that he also got a key, a silver key.

The silver key also has different abilities.

But the record ends here, and only this paragraph appears in the entire magic book.

There are no more records about the keys.

Although not all gains are achieved, the gains are limited.

Chen Zhao wanted to ask Alas for another magic book.

However, Alas hid far away when he saw Chen Zhao.

Looking at Alas' hair of different lengths, Chen Zhao was embarrassed to ask her for it again.

Forget it, wait until her hair grows a little longer, then ask her for the magic book.

"Aras, don't run away, I don't want your hair."

Alas was relieved when he heard Chen Zhao's words.

"President, what's the matter?"

"Keep this bottle of hair growth hormone for use and take good care of your hair."

"..."

what do you mean?

After talking for a long time, you still want my hair.

Alas was so anxious that he almost burst into tears.

If I couldn't defeat you, I would really like to die with you.

Psychological Counseling Center——

"Hello, ladies, it's your turn, which one of you two will go in first?" the female nurse came to Charlotte and Cindy.

"We went in together and we both had the same question," Charlotte replied.

"Two ladies, according to our regulations here, our attending physician can only accept psychological consultation and treatment from one person at a time."

Charlotte just looked at the female nurse coldly, and the female nurse's research suddenly lost its luster.

"Let's go in." Charlotte said to Cindy beside her.

Margaret was waiting for the next patient to come in, but when the door opened, she found two people coming in.

"You two ladies, is there anything I can help you with?"

Margaret didn't understand why her assistant let the two of them in.

But now that she had come in, she quickly corrected her attitude.

She did not shut the two people out, but took the attitude of accepting them as they came.

"Doctor, there is a voice that keeps lingering in our minds. Is there any way to make this voice disappear? Or is there any medicine that can make us fall asleep quickly?"

Charlotte and Cindy were both in bad spirits and looked like they hadn't slept in a long time.

"Are you talking about auditory hallucinations?"

"No, it's not an auditory hallucination, it's a real voice."

Margaret didn't care. Every patient who experienced auditory hallucinations thought that what they heard were real voices.

"You all have the same symptoms?"

"Yes, we are haunted by that voice, that voice that keeps calling us."

"What is your job?"

"Witch," Cindy replied.

"Forehead……"

"Just kidding." Charlotte smiled: "Our working environment is relatively complex, so we have been tortured by noise for a long time, and we need calming drugs."

"I can prescribe you some stabilizing drugs, but I first need to know the reason for your auditory hallucinations."
