Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"I can pay you $30,000 to investigate a woman's identity, and I can pay $300,000 for your head."

Chen Zhao got up from the car door he was leaning on and walked past Francis.

Francis was about to cry at this moment. He originally thought that Chen Zhao was an Asian, so he felt that Chen Zhao was also helpless in Los Angeles.

Who would have thought that Chen Zhao is also a ruthless character.

If the sniper just missed his shot, his head would have been destroyed.

After Chen Zhao left Francis' sight, he gave a gesture to Kaos who was hiding in the dark.

Kaos came out carrying a sniper rifle.

"Kaos, did you do it on purpose just now?"

"That will be a deterrent." Kaos smiled.

Chen Zhao originally wanted Kaos to shoot him to intimidate Francis.

As a result, Kaos directly showed off his marksmanship.

The shot just now felt thrilling to Chen Zhao.

"By the way, President, I need to take some time off." Kaos said.

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

"Something happened to a comrade in arms, and I received a request for help from his family."

Chen Zhao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Ask everyone from the Lightning Team to follow. If there is any situation that cannot be handled, just contact me. Everyone in our association will have your backing."

"Okay." Kaos nodded: "But I have to leave tomorrow, so the private detective can't watch anymore."

"It's okay, it's just a small problem." Chen Zhao said nonchalantly: "Where are you going? Tell me in advance so that you won't be found later."

…

Does Rebecca know who attacked her just now?

That was her old enemy.

While in New York, she attacked a Mafia family.

He robbed the Mafia family of gold worth 20 million US dollars, and also killed the heir of their family.

Over the years, Rebecca has been in hiding.

And he has always acted in a low-key manner, just to avoid the gangsters.

And this is not the first time such an attack has occurred.

No matter how low-key she is, there will always be some traces.

It seemed that it was time for me to leave Los Angeles again.

Rebecca hesitated slightly.

That boy...Murphy.

Should I go and say goodbye to him?

In this cold world, maybe only that man can bring her a little warmth.

That shy big boy, just a little love talk can make him blush.

Simple and kind...

He was probably the person in Rebecca's life that she was least willing to hurt.

It's just that he and I are not the same person after all.

Rebecca sighed.

After several hesitations while holding the phone, Rebecca finally picked up the phone.

"Murphy, are you working now?"

"Well, yeah, Rebecca, haven't you rested yet?"

"I...I miss you." Rebecca said for no reason, but this sentence seemed to come from the bottom of her heart.

Even Rebecca felt shy.

She had never said this, not to anyone.

"That...me too..."

"You...you're alone in a museum, aren't you afraid of the dark?" Rebecca didn't know what to say to Murphy.

The words came to my lips and I swallowed them back, always avoiding the topic after repeated attempts.

"Rebecca...actually I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Actually, I'm not working as a security guard in a museum. I'm working as a security guard for my boss."

"Oh." Rebecca didn't care.

"I will help the boss patrol his private property tomorrow night," Murphy said.

"Um."

Rebecca originally wanted to say it on the phone, but she just couldn't.

After much thought, Rebecca decided to meet Murphy one last time.

Say what needs to be said clearly to your face.

"Murphy, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes." Murphy responded immediately.

"Then let's meet at North Shoreline Beach."

"So remote? Oh, by the way, it's not convenient for you to be exposed, so when will we meet?" Murphy asked.

"Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

North Coastline Beach, in the 1950s and 1960s, was a small fishing village. However, in the 1960s, the famous Fez tsunami hit here, and the entire fishing village almost died.

This disaster can basically be ranked in the history of the United States, because the tsunami occurred at night. The cause of the tsunami was a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 12 on the bottom of the deep sea in the Pacific Ocean.

Everyone in the fishing village was sleeping at that time, and even because of the rainy weather, all the fishermen did not go to sea.

As a result, the entire fishing village was wiped out. There were 350 people in the village. Except for four young people in school, there were no survivors.

Then the entire fishing village was abandoned. Although some developers later wanted to develop it into a commercial beach, they gave up in the end for inexplicable reasons.

Rebecca didn't like it here because it still had a strong smell of death.

Even though decades have passed, it still hasn't gone away.

Rebecca had heard that this place was haunted, but after looking around the ruins, she found no spiritual beings.

Rebecca sat on the stone slab on the beach and looked at the rather turbulent waves.

The sun gradually went down, and Rebecca heard the rumble of cars.

Rebecca turned around and saw that it was a convertible sports car.

Rebecca was a little confused and a little wary.

However, after the car stopped and saw Murphy in the car, Rebecca lowered her guard.

"Murphy, whose car does this belong to?"

"I borrowed it from my boss," Murphy said.

"Your boss actually lent you such a good car?" Rebecca looked at the black sports car and inadvertently licked her lips.

This is an occupational disease that Rebecca has committed again, she is used to grabbing.

But then I thought it was Murphy's borrowed car.

If he takes it away, Murphy will be the unlucky one.

Rebecca gave up on the idea.

"Your boss is rich, right?"

"More than just money." Murphy shuddered.

Rebecca saw the look of fear on Murphy's face.

"Are you afraid of your boss?"

"Um...yes, the boss is scary."

A murderous look flashed in Rebecca's eyes.

"Is your boss mean?"

"He is super fierce. In my eyes, he is a big devil."

"Then you have never seen the big devil." Rebecca smiled.

What he was thinking about was that before leaving, maybe he should help Murphy teach his boss a lesson.

Murphy looked at Rebecca's smile and felt a little crazy for a moment.

"Would you like me to help you teach your boss a lesson?"

"Haha... stop joking, no one in this world can teach him a lesson."

"That's not necessarily true." Rebecca said with a faint smile, "Murphy, I'm leaving Los Angeles."

"Oh, where to go? How long will it take?"
