Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

This is Gaia's first visit to the Crypt Demon Ruins.

She had not yet joined the Supernatural Society when it first fought against the 'family'.

The last time Little Grove and Bona Twain came to the rescue, she also had something to do and didn't come.

Gaia has been looking for an opportunity to come here to see it.

She had always heard how ferocious and cruel the crypt demons here were.

It's a pity that she didn't have the chance to see it.

At least there is no chance under normal circumstances.

Because when she entered the Crypt Demon ruins, she took out the association's badge.

The Crypt Demon was right in front, leading her the way.

There was no intention of attacking her.

Gaia is not the kind of person to act indiscriminately.

So I can only regretfully give up the idea of ​​​​doing it.

When they entered the depths and saw the pyramids in the ruins, Gaia was also shocked by this great and ancient building.

At this moment, Little Grove and Bona Twain were like two refugees.

In less than two days, the two of them had completely abandoned their so-called fear and disgust.

At this moment, they were sitting in front of the fire, roasting the locusts provided to them by the Crypt Demon.

In the face of hunger, any bottom line will become nonexistent.

A day ago, they were full of disgust and disgusting resistance to locusts.

But now, locusts are their food.

Although they can't eat locusts alive yet.

"You two are better than I thought."

At this moment, Gaia's voice came.

Both of them were startled, and when they took a closer look, they saw that Gaia was here.

Although the two of them were embarrassed, they did not collapse.

Gaia was quite pleased with this.

"Miss Gaia...why are you here?"

"Come and pick me up then leave."

"Huh? Really?"

"But...the president said...we haven't reached three days yet. It's still less than two days, right?"

The two of them became hesitant and hesitant again.

After all, if they disobey Chen Zhao's order again.

Then they will face Chen Zhao's thunderous wrath next.

After overcoming their initial fear, they discovered that it was not as scary as they thought.

Therefore, they would rather complete the punishment given to them by Chen Zhao honestly.

Instead of escaping here privately.

"Chen and I are friends, and I have already told him." Gaia said, "So you can leave."

"Really? That's great."

"I can finally leave this place."

"Don't be too happy, Li Te. You need to continue your work. Chen has no intention of letting you go so easily."

Little Grove was about to cry.

If only I had known that Chen Zhao was so scary.

On the first day they met, he would honestly pretend to be a grandson.

It's just that he was used to being domineering in the past.

He thought that all teachers in the world were the same.

You can bully him as much as you like.

Who would have thought that Chen Zhao is a terrifying demon king.

But now Little Grove is no longer so afraid.

Although this job is not that glorious.

But now he has experienced such horrific things.

Going to guard the morgue again, it seemed like there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Pack your things and let's go."

Gaia found that the two of them seemed to have grown a lot.

Although it was only for two days.

But they seemed to have changed.

Flint, rags of linen, and two locusts.

"What are you carrying these things for?"

"Memorial." Little Grove said.

Breathing the fresh air outside again made both of them feel their eyes moist.

This feeling is really touching.

"Don't make Chen angry anymore. He has been tolerant enough to you two. Do you know how he dealt with the last person who tried to go against him?"

"I know...he stuffed that guy into the meat grinder."

"It's good to know."

…

The next day, Little Grove had a good sleep and then went directly to the association headquarters.

It's a pity that Chen Zhao is not at the headquarters today. After asking, I found out that Chen Zhao does not come every day.

At this time, Gaia came in from outside and saw Little Grove there.

"Why are you here?"

"Miss Gaia, I'm here to see if there's anything I can do to help."

"When there is action, take part in it. If there is no action, everyone is busy doing their own thing, or practicing in actual combat."

"How to practice?" Little Grove asked.

"West has a public trial ring. Go to him to get it, and then go to the trial tower."

"Then what?"

"You'll know after you get in." At this time, Hailis walked in from the outside. She heard that Little Grove had offended Chen Zhao, so she was very unhappy with Little Grove.

If he hadn't been Chen Zhao's student, he would have been cut into pieces by now.

Even if Chen Zhao didn't take action, she wouldn't let Li Te go.

"Hailis, you happen to be here, how about we go to the second floor together?"

"Sorry, Gaia, I have to keep the save file on the fourth floor, and I just came out of it, so I won't be able to go back in for a short time."

"Okay, I'm going to find Norma."

Since Norma passed the first level, she has made no progress on the second level.

She was already very tricky on the first level, but her Nightmare Eyes were useless on the second level.

Little Grove received a ring and came to the trial tower.

Several times before, he had been hearing other members of the association mention the trial tower.

But I never knew what the specific situation was.

Every time what they said was vague, he didn't know what was in it.

At this time, Gaia and Norma came over.

"Miss Gaia, Miss Norma."

"What are you doing standing here? Since you got the ring, put it on and press it on the stone door."

Little Grove followed Gaia's instructions and pressed his palm up.

In an instant, Little Grove whispered in front of the two of them.

"How about we make a bet on how long he stays in there?" Norma said.

"Thirty seconds, one hundred dollars."

"I guess fifteen seconds."

Gaia looked at the time. Thirty seconds passed quickly, and Little Grove still didn't come out.

After waiting for forty-five seconds, Little Grove came out.

However, he looked very frightened.

"Not bad, boy. You can actually stay in there for forty-five seconds. How did you do it?"

"I'm not dead? I'm actually not dead... What happened just now? Was it an illusion?"

"That is true, but the trial tower does not kill people. At least as long as you have the ring, you will not be killed." Gaia said: "You haven't answered my question yet, how did you survive four Fifteen seconds.”

"I avoided the first wave of attacks," Little Grove said.

"Oh? How did you avoid it?"

"I don't know... I can just avoid them... At least when the number is not too large, I can see the openings for their attacks, but if there are too many, there is nothing I can do."
