Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Mr. Chen, I want to know why my daughter has super powers."

Chen Zhao originally hoped that it was other problems and that he was overthinking everything.

As a result, Amy had no intention of beating around the bush with Chen Zhao.

When they met, they went straight to the topic, leaving Chen Zhao not knowing how to resist.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"What do you think?" Amy looked at Chen Zhao aggressively.

Amy's sudden attack gave Chen Zhao no chance to make a detour.

"Actually, this is not a superpower. Of course, it's okay if you regard this as a superpower. It's of similar nature anyway." Chen Zhao said helplessly.

"I want to know the details, Silan, Kelan, and Yingjilit."

"Amy, you must first know that there are ghosts and demons in this world." Chen Zhao said.

"Ghost? I thought this was the plot of "X-Men", but what you said now reminds me of the plot of "Hell Detective"." Amy was still able to joke, which showed that she was not in a very bad mood.

This is also true. Amy is angry because she is the last person in the family to know about it.

"Haha...Amy, you are very humorous."

"Do you think I'm kidding?" Amy looked at Chen Zhao with a cold face.

"Is this a problem?"

"Of course, DC comics have always been darker."

"Um..." Chen Zhao suddenly didn't know how to answer: "But reality has nothing to do with comics."

"Okay, you continue." Amy said.

"There are souls and demons in this world, and of course there are people who fight with them. Psychics are this kind of people. Of course, they have different names in different countries." Chen Zhao said: "Your daughter is a witch. It is more likely that her bloodline is inherited from you."

"Me? But I'm an ordinary person."

"There is a category of people who are hidden psychics. In fact, every witch is a hidden psychic before awakening. The only difference is that they are awakened or not."

"You mean, it's possible that I can master magic?"

"This is a very dangerous process." Chen Zhao said: "Amy, do you remember that last time after you and English had a fight, Silan was in a coma and was admitted to the hospital? If it was under normal circumstances, she would die."

Amy's heart trembled. She had no idea that the situation at that time would be so dangerous.

"I can solve most problems, but I can't guarantee that I can save people every time." Chen Zhao said.

"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I shouldn't have said that to you." Amy suddenly felt grateful to Chen Zhao.

"This is not a problem." Chen Zhao shook his head: "Kelan's bloodline comes from his father. Their ancestors may be demons, or some kind of special beings, so they inherited certain abilities from their ancestors, but men Awakening is relatively common and not very dangerous. Of course, what happens in movies, TV shows or horror movies will not appear in reality. There is no pursuit of superpowers, and there is no so-called discrimination or bias."

Amy looked at Coran: "Kelan, what super powers do you have?"

"Mom, Mr. Chen said, that's not a super power."

"Stop talking nonsense and show me."

"But..." Kelan looked at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao had already turned his head and turned a blind eye to Kelan's doubts.

How to decide is his business and has nothing to do with him.

"It's too small here," Curran said.

"Let's go to a remote place." Chen Zhao said.

There happens to be a relatively remote park nearby.

After everyone arrived at the park, Coran began to show off his abilities.

Speed, when Colan ran the entire park at extreme speed, Amy was still shocked.

It's different from Silan's, who just lights a fire with his fingers, which looks very close to magic.

But Coran's speed already shocked Amy.

"Mr. Chen, what about you? What are your abilities?"

"I'm a strength-enhanced type, I'm very strong."

"How big is it?"

"It's very big anyway." Chen Zhao said, "It's no problem to lift a car."

Looking at Amy's expectant eyes, Chen Zhao was not sure whether he wanted to perform a show of picking up the car with his bare hands.

"Is England's job dangerous?" Amy asked.

"There is a certain degree of danger, but I will try my best to ensure the safety of everyone in the team, and of course, the safety of the members' families."

Now that he has spoken out, Chen Zhao can no longer hide it.

Is it possible to tell Amy that nothing is dangerous at all?

This is irresponsible to their family.

"Last time Coran was unconscious, was there any attack?"

"No, no..." Chen Zhao quickly said before Kelan: "Actually, Kelan has just gained the ability of blood, and his physique has not caught up, so he is malnourished."

After hearing this, Amy breathed a sigh of relief.

"What does English do in his daily tasks?"

"To deal with some supernatural incidents, such as certain haunted houses, you need English or others to deal with them."

"What about his business trip to Norway this time?"

"Something like this, I will try to reduce the number of his business trips in the future." Chen Zhao said.

"No, I don't want to be the person who hinders his work. I can see that he likes this job. If that is the case, then I will support him."

Amy's eyes were gentle, after English had eliminated the final barrier.

Amy became more rational.

"Mom, can I join the Supernatural Association? I also want to..."

"No." Chen Zhao said first, "Family members cannot join without Yingjilit's permission. After all, this kind of thing is risky."

"Mr. Chen...you..."

"What are you doing?" Chen Zhao glared at Ke Lan, not settling the score with you yet.

"Mr. Chen, does Silan have any problems?"

"The main thing is to let Silan understand one thing. Although this ability is not unique, it should not be used in front of ordinary people. As for the problems in her school, I will solve them." Chen Zhao said.

"But Silan is different from ordinary children after all."

Chen Zhao thought for a while and said: "It depends on the choice of you and Yingjilit. If you want Silan to be an ordinary person, then maintain the status quo. If you want her to enter the supernatural world, then start teaching her now. She has magic, to be honest, Silan’s talent is very outstanding, not even one among 10 million people can have it.”

"Is it so outstanding?" Amy asked in surprise: "More outstanding than Coran."

Chen Zhao glanced at Kelan: "His level is considered the lowest level. If Silan is taught and guided systematically, she will probably become one of the most powerful people in the world in the future."

Of course, Chen Zhao didn't say enough. After all, talent is one thing, but lagging behind is another.
