Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Chen..." Ethan broke into Chen Zhao's room again.

"Can you leave me alone?"

"There's business."

"How much?"

"Two hundred dollars."

"Is it so low?"

"Anyway, you have nothing to do now. If you don't want it, then I'll turn down this business."

"Okay, give me the address."

"I'll take you there."

"Wait...are you trying to kill someone because I discovered your secret?"

Ethan slapped his forehead: "God, can you stop talking about this? I said it, not me."

"I'd better let Vincent pick me up."

"Okay, it's up to you." Ethan left angrily.

"I'm just kidding, send me there."

Under the Morgan Building, Ethan stopped the car: "Do you want me to wait for you here?"

"Are you sure there aren't dozens of killers waiting for me up there?"

Ethan opened the tool box next to him, and there was a gun in it: "If you keep nagging, I will use this gun to blow your head to pieces, you bastard...Floor 78, No. 7802."

Chen Zhao arrived at the 78th floor, found No. 7802, and rang the doorbell.

An exquisite woman opened the door, but there seemed to be blood on her body.

"Hello, I'm a doctor. Ethan introduced me. Are you injured somewhere?"

"Come in first."

"Is it convenient for me to bring my pet?"

The woman lowered her head and glanced at Beelzebub next to Chen Zhao, and stepped aside to let Chen Zhao and Beelzebub come in.

However, when Chen Zhao entered the room, he saw another person lying on the ground.

Chen Zhao wanted to turn around on the spot, but only then did he realize that the woman was holding a bloody fruit knife in her hand.

"Help my sister stop the bleeding and don't let her die."

"Is she your sister?"

"Yes." Chen Zhao put down the tool box.

The woman on the ground was stabbed in the abdomen and seriously injured.

Chen Zhao opened the woman's eyelids, her pupils were dilated and her breathing was weak.

Chen Zhao injected a small amount of morphine into the woman. Morphine is an analgesic and has a very good effect.

Of course, morphine is also a controlled drug and can only be purchased in pharmacies with a prescription from a hospital doctor.

Chen Zhao bought it through Ethan, and he has a way to do this.

The next step is to suture the wound. I haven’t found a way to buy blood of different blood types yet.

Ethan is also helping Chen Zhao pay attention to this aspect, but there are many ways for Ethan to use illegal drugs, but this kind of medical blood requires much less. After all, each industry has its own threshold.

Chen Zhao could only use a little devil crystal to stimulate the woman's vitality. Now the woman's body was very weak and could not withstand the impact of too many devil crystals. However, as long as the weight was controlled, the devil crystal was a very good nutritional supplement.

This is also Chen Zhao's own research on the use of demon crystals.

However, the treatment fee for this trip is only two hundred US dollars.

If you look at the market price, it will definitely be a loss, but if you save one person, the metal box can also breed a demon crystal that lasts about one year.

"Wipe the sweat." The sister handed Chen Zhao a tissue.

Chen Zhao sat next to him. The exterior view of this high-rise residence was very good. The exterior walls were all floor-to-ceiling windows, and half of Los Angeles could be seen. The interior decoration and furniture were all in modern style, but the hall seemed to have been smashed with broken objects after a fight. Everywhere.

"Can you tell me what the situation is?" Chen Zhao was not sure whether he should call the police.

This woman stabbed her sister and then called a doctor to treat her sister.

And she didn't seem too panicked.

It doesn't look like someone panicking after accidentally injuring someone else. He looks very calm.

It's not that Chen Zhao is meddling in other people's business. After all, this is considered a vicious injury. If something happens to her sister after Chen Zhao leaves, then as the only person who entered the scene, Chen Zhao is likely to be investigated.

"Didn't you recognize me?"

"Uh... you are a star?" Chen Zhao was a little confused.

"That's right. I'm just a third-rate actor. It's normal that you don't recognize me."

"Then between you and your sister..."

"Would you like to hear our story?"

"All ears."

"I stole the part from her, so we got into a fight, and as you can see, I almost killed her."

The woman said in a very calm tone, and she didn't seem to blame herself at all.

"We are both from Texas, and we both have a yearning for Hollywood. After graduating from high school, we came to Los Angeles together to seek opportunities here, but my luck is obviously better than Sullivan. I have already starred in several roles. , although it is only an insignificant role, I am still quite satisfied with my current opportunities, while Sullivan can only get some roles without even lines. This time, we entered the competition for a role together. The final audition with makeup, but I was obviously more experienced, so I won. Sullivan felt that I had had so many acting opportunities, and this opportunity should be given to her, but in Hollywood, any role is She didn't get it if I gave in. We didn't have any say in the casting of the character. We argued and pulled our hair, and then I grabbed the fruit knife and gave her a knife."

Chen Zhao glanced at Sullivan on the ground. She had already woken up. She was just shedding tears silently without arguing or making a fuss.

Their stories are not unique. There are too many girls like them in Los Angeles who are chasing dreams of becoming stars.

There is no shortage of beauties in Hollywood, and they are not from the academy. They are just wild kids.

They don’t have any resources, no background, and they don’t even have an agency to help them get roles.

Maybe you're lucky and you can become famous overnight, but it's almost like winning the lottery.

It is this almost slim possibility that makes countless girls come to Los Angeles and Hollywood one after another.

However, my sister is obviously lucky. At least they can live in such a high-end residence now and obviously have some income.

Such an apartment costs at least 10,000 US dollars a month. Chen Zhao just made a fortune and couldn't bear to live in such a place.

Therefore, my sister's income must be quite high, at least for ordinary minor characters, it is definitely impossible to meet their consumption.

"Alvin, I'm sorry." Sullivan finally said, "I apologize to you for being unreasonable."

"Is your name Sullivan?" Chen Zhao looked down at the girl: "I will prescribe some medicine for you later, which are all traditional Chinese medicines. You can go to the traditional Chinese medicine store to buy them."

Chen Zhao does not have a medical license or the right to prescribe medicine.

So even if he prescribes some western medicine, they can't buy it from the pharmacy.

"Okay, if nothing happens, I'll take my leave first. By the way, the consultation fee is two hundred dollars."

"Do you have time to stay for a meal? It's right here." Alvin said.

"Well, I have time before the next client calls me."

Children's shoes, can you give me a recommendation vote?
