Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

When Chen Zhao entered the village, a dozen demons had already gathered.

They are all strange demons, with all kinds of looks.

"Honorable living being, can you accept my demonic weapon? I am willing to sacrifice my life for you. Even if I am fighting God, I will not retreat."

"Great living being, this is my demonic weapon. I have infinite power. I can be your best warrior."

There are already demons who shamelessly call Chen Zhao great, but this demon who claims to be extremely powerful is just a dwarf, not more than 1.4 meters tall, but quite stout.

"You must be a sage from the human world. Please accept my demonic weapon..."

"I seem to see Satan's blessing lingering on you, please accept my demonic weapon..."

Chen Zhao was forcefully stuffed with more than a dozen demonic weapons, all of them belonging to strange demons.

Of course, all the people living in the village are strange monsters.

No one with noble blood would live in a place like this.

Basically, all the demons with demonic artifacts stuffed Chen Zhao with a demonic artifact.

Demonic weapons are infused by demons with their own power. Demons with status are naturally made of expensive materials. For example, Beelzebub's black blade looks very exquisite in workmanship.

The strange demon has no identity and no property, so the materials used are very common. It may be a luminous stone, a demonic plant, or even made of hell soil.

Demonic artifacts contain part of the demon's power and can also serve as a summons for the demon.

In hell, a demon dedicating his demonic weapon to a superior demon signifies his allegiance to the superior demon.

A superior demon can summon the demon to his side anytime and anywhere through a demonic weapon.

These strange demons gave their demonic weapons to Chen Zhao, which of course was considered loyal to Chen Zhao.

It's just that Chen Zhao can't enslave these strange demons like the upper-level demons, because these lower-level demons can't stay in the world for too long, maybe an hour, maybe a day, but it won't be too long anyway.

The main reason why they are so enthusiastic is because the items in the world are very precious to hell.

Even a potted plant may be able to earn a lot of money, provided that the potted plant can survive in hell.

To put it bluntly, to Chen Zhao, they are foreign workers.

Compared to these strange demons with demonic weapons, there is a lower level category. They don't even have the power to make a demonic weapon. Their bodies are weak and may be about the same as humans, or even worse than humans.

Although they also hope to be appreciated by Chen Zhao, they also know that their hope is slim.

If the former belongs to the poor, then these strange demons belong to the refugee level.

But they are also curious about the difference between the legendary living people and the incomplete souls they can occasionally obtain.

"Beelzebub, am I entering hell now as a soul or as a body?"

"Body."

"Can humans adapt to the environment of hell?"

"No, you are only protected by the rules. If you have the ability to open the door to hell one day, you will not be able to survive in hell. Just like me as a devil, when I enter the human world, I need to transform into the form of a certain species in the human world. The same, and this change is passive, not the form I choose. If I enter the human world in the true form of a devil, I will be like a dehydrated fish and will die in the human world soon."

"So in human movies and TV dramas, the scenes where someone wants to open the door to hell, let demons enter the human world, and create chaos are all fake?"

"If someone can really open the door to hell for a long time, it will indeed create chaos to a certain extent. The breath of demons will flow into the world and create a hell-like environment within a certain range. But if you want to destabilize the entire country, or even the entire In this world, that is obviously impossible, not even the Demon King can do it.”

At this time, a thin green-skinned demon walked up to Chen Zhao and Beelzebub.

"Dear Lord Vito, noble living being, I am the humble Raz, can I make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"He is a demon goblin. He likes to collect some weird things and then trade them around."

"What do you have?"

"This is my treasured treasure, a talking mirror. I heard that there is a story in the world, it seems to be called Snow White, and there is a talking mirror in it. My mirror is not so magical, it can just talk."

"Don't be fooled. This talking mirror actually traps a soul in the mirror. It is worthless, and who knows when the soul will dissipate."

"Well...if you don't like the talking mirror, I also have a wish ring. You see...there is a powerful demon spirit in this ring, and he can fulfill many wishes."

Chen Zhao looked at Beelzebub: "Is this true?"

"Of course it's fake. It's actually a demon spirit that knows how to perform illusions. Besides, regardless of whether the demon spirit in this wish ring can really fulfill your wish, as long as you bring it back to the human world, and then summon the demon spirit , the demon spirit will die immediately. After all, there are not many demons that can survive in the human world, unless they are at the level of a big demon or a demon king, or a demon like the Soul Seducer."

Chen Zhao looked at the green-skinned demon Raz: "Are you kidding me? There is nothing practical about it?"

"Well... yes, of course there is, but I don't know, dear living person, what price will you pay?"

"Take out whatever you have first. I don't even know what it is, so you just negotiate the price with me?"

"I have a substitute gold coin here. Please take a look at it. Lord Vito, please take a look at it too."

"Oh! It's really a substitute gold coin." Beelzebub took the substitute gold coin in surprise.

"What's the use?"

"It can withstand a fatal injury for you."

"Huh? This seems good. Are there any flaws?"

"There are restrictions on users. Creatures that are too powerful are useless. For example, I am very suitable for you."

Chen Zhao took the substitute gold coin: "Then what price do you plan to offer?"

"As a humble person, I hope to get a demon crystal that is at least one year old."

"Um..." Chen Zhao looked at Beelzebub: "Have you ever told him that I have a demon crystal?"

"I bought something from him last time, and I bought it with devil crystals, so he may have judged it based on this. He is a profiteer."

"Do you think the price is suitable?"

"It's okay, everyone gets what they need. Demon crystals are extremely valuable to us demons, but you have a lot of them, and the substitute gold coins are also of great significance to you, so I think this deal is acceptable. Everyone gets what they need."

"Okay, I accept this deal, but I don't have the demon crystal with me now, so you can help me advance the payment first."

"Is there interest?"

"No."
