Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Hi, David." A woman walked into the office.

David was reading the case files and looked up at the viewer.

"You are...Miss Sienna." David stood up immediately: "Hello, hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Your captain asked me to come."

"The captain is on duty and won't be back until noon. Let me call the captain."

Sienna is a counselor in their West Side Los Angeles office, and she's a bona fide psychic.

Although David has never worked with Sienna, he heard their captain talk about it.

All of the several cases Sienna had intervened in were solved.

It is said that Sienna can communicate with the dead, which reminds David of Chen Zhao.

I was thinking in my mind, I don’t know whether Sienna is more powerful or that Chen is more powerful.

"Miss Sienna, you are a psychic, right?"

"Haha..." Sienna smiled and did not answer David's question directly.

Although this was no longer a secret in the police station, she had never communicated with the soul of the deceased in front of any police officer.

One reason is that not everyone wants to believe that there is a soul in this world.

And she couldn't make the soul appear and let everyone see the soul.

Even in the police station she works with, there are still many people who secretly say that she is faking it.

"Miss Sienna, are the souls the same as those of us living people?"

Sienna glanced at David: "Do you believe there are souls in this world?"

"I believe, and I also believe that your psychics can see and communicate with souls, and yesterday another psychic came to our police station, but he claimed to be an amateur psychic, and he can communicate with souls. "

"Haha... do you believe what he said?"

Sienna sneered and said that she had met many peers, but most of them were liars.

Those people usually talk a lot and even boast about it on some TV shows, but in Sienna's eyes, those people are all liars.

Of course, Sienna can't prove that they are liars, just like she can't prove that she is not a liar.

"It's true. My colleague and I saw the cup flying in front of us, and he even led us to save a mother and daughter."

"Huh? The souls he saw belonged to the mother and daughter?" Sienna was surprised and immediately asked.

"Yes, the souls of the mother and daughter found him and asked him to save them. Now the mother has woken up, but she doesn't seem to remember her out-of-body experience, but her daughter is still in a severe coma. "The doctor said that the girl's brain was starved of oxygen and she would probably be in a coma forever."

Sienna frowned: “Which hospital is that girl in now?”

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Tell me which hospital that girl is in now." Sienna asked.

"In..." David told Sienna the hospital where the girl was staying.

"I'm leaving. Tell your captain that I have something urgent." Sienna left without looking back.

David chased after him: "Miss Sienna, can you tell me what's going on?"

"That girl is in danger."

"What? Is someone going to do something bad to her?" David was startled. There was no police protection there.

"It's not a human being." Sienna said, "It's useless to tell you. Your police can't help anyway."

"Miss Sienna, we rescued that girl, and we have the obligation to protect her. Please tell me who wants to harm her."

"It's useless." Sienna walked out of the police station, but David still chased after her relentlessly: "Miss Sienna, we can definitely protect the girl. Please tell me what we are going to do."

"You can't do anything. You can only make trouble."

"We can apply for more powerful fire support. Los Angeles has a counter-terrorism department."

"That cannot be defeated by humans. What threatens that girl's life is the evil spirits. Do you understand? In the eyes of those evil spirits, she is like a delicious cake... Forget it, you won't believe it anyway. "

David stood there dumbly: "Evil spirit?"

Sienna was gone, and David was still in a daze.

Suddenly, David thought of a person, Chen Zhao.

Maybe he could help, maybe he could protect the woman.

No, he definitely can!

David immediately found Chen Zhao's phone number.

…

"Hello, I'm Chen Zhao."

"Mr. Chen, I am Mowgli. You should still remember me. I need your help."

"Mowgli? I remember, it was the first time in my life that someone pointed a gun at my head, and it was you, right!?" Chen Zhao was immediately furious, really furious.

That experience almost made him pee.

Now he was talking to the phone, so Chen Zhao poured out all his anger.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for what happened that time...I'm really sorry. I need your help now."

"Help? Sorry, I won't help you anymore."

"Ten thousand dollars!" Mowgli gritted his teeth and said, "I promise that I will not offend you again. I guarantee it with my personality."

Ten thousand dollars is not a small sum.

Chen Zhao pondered for a moment: "Tell me first if there is something wrong with you or someone around you."

"My boss, I, and two companions are being chased. We are all slightly injured. One of our companions is seriously injured. I can't think of anyone who can help us."

"If I go there, can my safety be ensured? At least I need to make sure that I won't be silenced by you."

"Yes, yes, I promise, I promise with my life."

"Okay, tell me where I need to go."

"I'm at your doorstep," said Mowgli.

Chen Zhao opened the curtains and looked outside. Sure enough, there was a car parked on the road.

Chen Zhao walked out with Beelzebub and the toolbox. After getting in the car, Chen Zhao saw that Mowgli's abdomen was dyed red and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Mr. Chen, I guarantee your safety, but before that, can you turn off your phone? I believe you, but I don't want anyone to find us through you."

"Okay, but you need therapy."

"We'd better get out of here first." Mowgli drove away.

"Let me check your injuries first." Chen Zhao opened Mowgli's clothes and said, "Fortunately, the bullet did not stay in your body. It penetrated from your right abdomen and you lost a lot of blood."

"Drink this, and I'll stitch up your wound." Chen Zhao handed a diluted demon crystal potion to Mogli: "Endure the pain, and by the way, don't drive the car into the ditch. "

Mowgli endured severe pain while driving.

"Chen, if there is another time, could I trouble you to bring some anesthetic? Not everyone can bear this kind of pain."

"No, I don't have a medical license, so it's impossible to get anesthetics."

"I have a way," said Mowgli.

"Tell me what's going on with you, why are you being hunted?"

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, our current situation is no secret in terms of black and white. There was a police informant in our team. We were betrayed, and then our business was taken away by the FBI, and our enemies Then he started hunting us down.”

"You are all in trouble now, how else can you help me get controlled drugs?"

"Those are two different things."

"You really have the skills to help me buy some medicine?"

To be honest, Chen Zhao really needs such a way now.

That's the problem with being an illegal doctor. It's hard to get medicines.

For example, analgesics and narcotics are impossible to buy without a prescription from a regular doctor.

Chen Zhao needed some medicine very much, so he asked Mowgli again.

"Of course, but the prices are different from those on the market. The cheapest ones are twice as expensive as regular pharmacies. Some medicines are even ridiculously expensive. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Of course, I understand."
