Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Damn it, what went wrong?" Pang Carter's face was heavy.

Sean didn't understand when he fell under the illusion.

Both of them were very confused. Illusion was not easy to use, and it was even more impossible for the other party to fall prey to it without their knowledge.

The scary thing about illusions is that it's hard to tell the difference between true and false.

It's like seeing a person swinging a knife at you in an illusion. Intellectually you know it's fake.

But can you completely ignore this attack?

Sean covered his head and leaned in the corner in pain.

Poncart suddenly saw a strange smile appear on Sean's face.

I saw Sean's body melting into the wall.

"Hallucination! Hallucination! This is an hallucination..." Pangkat kept telling himself that this was an hallucination.

"Do you still think this is an illusion? My stupid disciple." Sean's smile suddenly became weird: "I have wanted to kill you for a long time, but I never had the chance. Now, the opportunity has come, and finally Let me wait for this opportunity.”

"Kill me? Why?" Pangkat suddenly lost control of his emotions.

"Why? Because I am your teacher, but you are better than me. I hate people who are better than me, especially this person is my disciple."

"Fake...this is fake..." Pangkat kept telling himself in his heart, but his consciousness began to become confused.

At the same time, opposite Poncart, Sean, who was leaning against the wall and panting, the Poncart in front of him also became weird. That cold and weird smile made his disciple strange and scary.

"Teacher, do you really think it's because I was under the illusion? That's just an excuse. I attacked you deliberately and then blamed the illusion." A smile appeared on Pangkat's face.

"Why? You... are wrong... this is an illusion, damn it." Sean closed his eyes immediately.

"Illusion? Do you really think that someone's illusion can be applied to them at the same time without knowing it?" Poncart looked at Sean with a sneer.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because you hide something from me. Every time you teach me magic, you always hide it, you damn bastard. And every time I ask you for help, you always take a cut. You greedy bastard. This time I finally don’t have to whip you anymore,” Poncart said with a laugh.

Sean hid his hands behind his back and quietly pulled out an enchanted dagger.

Reason tells Sean that this is all fake and an illusion.

But Sean's thinking was confused at this moment, and Poncart seemed to really want to kill him.

Poncart rushed towards Sean, and Sean whipped out his dagger and stabbed it directly into Poncart's chest.

Poncart's eyes widened, he looked at his chest, and then looked up at Sean in shock.

Finally, Ponkart's body collapsed to the ground.

Sean stood up unsteadily, and the next moment he lost all his strength and fell forward.

Suddenly, Poncart, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly pulled out his dagger and deliberately spilled blood.

The last bit of his magical phosphorus was scattered along with the blood.

At the moment when the magic phosphorus exploded, Poncart struck the dagger heavily on the wooden comb on the dressing table.

The wooden comb was split in half.

Everything has returned to calm.

Pangkat picked up the phone with difficulty: "Here...we need an ambulance here...the address...the address is..."

After all, your teacher is your own teacher.

The reason was found so quickly.

The moment Sean stabbed Poncart with his dagger, he told him why.

All the reasons lie in that wooden comb.

This is also the most suspicious thing they have come into contact with today.

It's not that evil spirits are causing trouble, but this wooden comb is a magic item.

They had made the mistake of exploring the wooden comb before.

They discovered that the wooden comb had an aura of magic, and no trace of evil spirits should have been detected.

This wooden comb causes hallucinations in those who come in contact with it.

There are no evil spirits in this house. The so-called scorching evil spirits are just a figment of their imagination.

When Sean stabbed Poncart in the chest with the dagger, he deliberately missed the target and said something about comb at the same time.

Sean realized there was a problem with the comb, but at that time he was trapped in an illusion and it was impossible to destroy the comb.

Only by waking up Poncart from the illusion can it be possible to destroy the wooden comb.

I have to say, this is a very risky move.

Fortunately, they succeeded.

"Sean, teacher, are you okay?" Poncart sat on the ground with difficulty.

Sean closed his eyes and lay on the ground: "I'm fine...but I don't dare to open my eyes, I'm afraid of being hit by another illusion."

"I've destroyed the comb," Poncart said. "What's going on with this comb?"

…

The ringing of the phone woke up Xia La. Xia La looked at the time, it was now after two in the morning.

Shala reluctantly picked up the phone.

"Hello, are you Miss Shara?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Excuse me, do you know Poncart and Sean?"

"I know."

"They are in the hospital now."

"Hospital? What happened?" Xia La was startled, and her sleepiness receded a lot.

"They're in your home and they turn on each other."

"Is this what happened?"

"This is also what our police want to know. Where are you now? Is it convenient for us to chat?"

"I'm not in downtown Los Angeles. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Los Angeles until tomorrow."

"Well, I hope you can come to the police station tomorrow."

Xia La's thinking was a little confused, and she vaguely realized that it was possible that Poncart and Sean had hallucinations like herself, and then killed each other.

The next day, Shara hurried to the police station and communicated with the police.

Of course, just a simple transcript.

After all, she was not at the scene and there was no suspicion.

In the transcript, she claimed that she only temporarily lent her house to Poncart and Sean, allowing them to live in her home.

Although the police were puzzled that Poncart and Sean were fighting each other, they did not embarrass Shaila too much.

Shayla went to the hospital again to see Poncart and Sean.

"Mr. Poncart, what is going on?"

"We miscalculated, it was your comb, it was an evil magic item." Pangkart was very weak now because he was stabbed in the chest. Although it did not hit the vital point, he lost too much blood.

Although he was rescued, he was still weak.

"Teacher Sean and I were both under the illusion, and then we started fighting each other."

"Then...that comb? I'm going to destroy that comb now."

"The comb has been cut off by me, but magic props are not that easy to destroy. In order to prevent you from being hurt again, you cannot touch the comb. It is best to wear completely isolated gloves and then burn the comb. , and then bury the ashes.”
