Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After leaving Ford's apartment, David suggested: "How about we go have a drink?"

"Okay, your treat."

David was driving in his car looking for a bar. On the way, David suddenly pointed to the roadside and said, "Look, isn't that Miss Sienna?"

Chen Zhao turned around and saw Sienna carrying large and small bags, more than a dozen boxes piled on top of each other, trudging along the road with difficulty.

Chen Zhao was originally unwilling to deal with Sienna, but David had already parked the car on the side of the road.

"Miss Sienna, do you need help?"

"Damn it, it's you guys, come here to help and put all my things in the car." Sienna was not polite to Chen Zhao and David at all.

"I alone am enough."

David stepped forward, lifted the trailer with one hand, and in a few moments, he had already placed Sienna's salute in the car.

However, the trunk was not enough, so David put the extra suitcases on the roof of the car.

"Chen, why do you bring so many pets with you every time you go out?" Sienna looked at Wanda and other demons who were crowded in the back seat with her.

"If you don't want to be in the same car as my kids, you can go down and walk now."

"Miss Sienna, are you moving?" David quickly changed the subject and asked.

"No, I was kicked out by my landlord."

"Um...then where are you going next?"

"There's nowhere to go, Chen. How about I stay at your place for a while? You still have a room available anyway."

"No, I don't like living under the same roof with strangers." Chen Zhao decisively refused.

Who knows if Sienna will discover her secret? What if she breaks into Lao Hei's space?

The three-headed dog doesn't recognize people, and it will definitely swallow Sienna's bones until the time comes.

"Would you like to stay at my place? I live alone." David asked cautiously.

"Okay." Sienna agreed directly without thinking.

She is now penniless and desperately needs a place to stay.

Even if she has no feelings for David, she is not opposed to living with David, provided that David will not harass her.

"Miss Sienna, how come you are so down and out, aren't you a psychic?"

"What's wrong with psychics? Can't psychics be in poverty? Damn it, why are the rents in Los Angeles so expensive? Also, the remuneration your police station gives me is too low. Next time your police station invites me, I will The price must be raised," Sienna said through gritted teeth.

"By the way, where are you going now? How about we go to eat, I haven't eaten lunch yet."

"..."

"I know a restaurant that tastes very good." Seeing that David and Chen Zhao were silent, Sienna said proactively again.

"What is your source of income?" David asked curiously, "You can't just rely on being a consultant to our police station, right?"

David knew that there were several consultants in his police station, but these consultants gave more symbolic money, and each consultant might not get a hundred dollars at a time.

"I also perform exorcisms on people. By the way, if you have any business in this area, you can contact me. Chen, forget it."

"I thought psychics would be rich."

"Who told you that psychics are very rich? When I came to Los Angeles, I took over two exorcism jobs. The highest one paid me two thousand dollars, and the other one only paid three hundred dollars. That was three months ago. .”

"You can send your evil servants to cause trouble in rich people's homes, and then you can step in to solve the problem." Chen Zhao suggested.

"Chen, don't talk about extortion in front of a police officer."

"Okay, I'm just kidding."

"It's useless. Under normal circumstances, my evil spirit cannot appear at all and cannot affect ordinary people."

It seems that Sienna has not thought of this method, but the plan does not work.

"Then why did we all see it last night?"

"Ask Chen, he should know better than me."

"I don't know, I'm an amateur."

"Are you laughing at me?"

"I'm telling the truth." Chen Zhao shrugged: "Give me your business card. If there are customers I know who have business needs in this area, I will introduce them to you."

"Why? Aren't you more powerful than me?"

"I told you, I'm a doctor and I don't do exorcisms."

"By the way, Miss Sienna, why don't you go on TV shows like those famous psychics."

"Those are all liars. Damn it, don't compare me with them. As far as I know, none of them who boast on TV shows are not liars."

"If liars can do it, why can't you?"

David's question was so stupid that Chen Zhao even rolled his eyes.

Of course, there is a team behind them to come up with ideas, hype, and publicity, all of which cost money.

Those so-called psychics who boast about it on TV operate in the same way as celebrities. This requires a large investment of money, and Sienna will definitely not be able to afford such a large amount of money.

Moreover, even if she can afford so much money, I'm afraid she doesn't have this talent.

A true psychic may not necessarily be eloquent.

Because of Sienna's addition, Chen Zhao and David had no choice but to change their itinerary and find a restaurant.

"David, do you want to eat so much?"

"I can't help it. Chen gave me a potion today, which greatly improved my physical fitness and increased my food intake."

Sienna looked at Chen Zhao: "Can it greatly improve physical fitness? Unless it is a magic potion, Chen, are you still an alchemist?"

"Amateur."

"..."

"Why do I feel like you are humiliating me every time you say you are an amateur?"

"Do you really think I'm humiliating you?"

Sienna nodded: "Yes."

"At least your feeling is right."

After dinner, Chen Zhao was also asked to stay and help Sienna move.

David's house is an old apartment building with no elevator and the stairs are very damp.

Although Sienna complained, she had no choice.

Fortunately, David's room was relatively clean. In addition to his own room, there was also an empty room.

"I'm warning you, if you dare to set foot in my room without my permission, I will curse you to never be able to get hard. Don't try to challenge a witch's bottom line of tolerance."

David cried sadly: "What will happen if I ask you to move out now?"

"I will change your sexual orientation."

"Chen, you will protect me, right?"

"Sorry, I can't help you, I'm an amateur."

"After a busy afternoon, I finally packed it up. David, do you have any ingredients at home? I'll make you a dinner."

"Huh? You actually took the initiative to cook dinner? Are you good at cooking?"

"No, I've only made dinner once. If you count today's time, it should be my second time."

"What? I think we should go out to eat tonight." David gave up decisively.

What can you expect from a man who has only cooked dinner once?

Dark cuisine?
