Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"I'm not coming." Chen Zhao refused.

To be honest, Gaia really can't beat Chen Zhao now.

Skills are indeed very important, but when the power gap reaches a certain level, no skills are of use.

Now Chen Zhao is an out-and-out monster, one that cannot be resisted by humans.

"Are you really not coming?" Gaia asked.

"In addition to bringing Tago, I also want to ask you for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"I need a special batch of fitness equipment myself."

"What's special?"

Chen Zhao leaned into Gaia's ear and whispered a few words.

Gaia looked hesitant after hearing this: "Do you use it yourself?"

"Um."

"Are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?"

"I know what I'm talking about and I know what I need."

"Tago, you should familiarize yourself with the venue here first. Chen and I have something to do."

Gaia took Chen Zhao to an isolated gym again: "Pick up that barbell."

Chen Zhao shrugged and lifted the barbell with seven or eight barbell rings with one hand.

Gaia frowned, Chen Zhao's power became more and more terrifying.

The barbell in his hand weighed two hundred kilograms, but in Chen Zhao's hand, it was more like an ordinary dumbbell.

"Monster." Gaia shook her head.

No wonder Chen Zhao refused the request to fight with her.

If she really goes to the ring, she really has no chance of winning.

The power gap is so great that not even technology can make up for it.

"How is Mowgli?" Gaia suddenly asked.

"He has been killed by you." Chen Zhao was still unsure of Gaia's thoughts, so his first reaction was to deny it.

After leaving the gym, Chen Zhao went to Ethan's hotel to visit Li Qing.

Li Qing recovered well, mainly due to his good mental state.

"Mr. Chen, have you read the classics of our Qingyi Sect?"

"Um... I haven't had time to read it yet. I'll read it when I get home." Chen Zhao felt that Li Qing was forcing him to read the classics.

"You must remember to read it. Many of our Tsing Yi Sect's spells have the effect of treating diseases. They are really useful."

Li Qing was saying that Mrs. Wang was selling her own melons and boasting, but Chen Zhao could only nod.

After leaving the hotel, Chen Zhao received a call from Sienna.

"Chen, something happened again. A witch was killed today and another one was seriously injured."

"Did that Yiwen Jielin do it again?"

"Yes." Sienna replied: "Chen, do you want to think about it again? You Yiwen Jielin is too scary. There is no need for us to take the initiative to find her."

Chen Zhao has already determined that this incident was his fault in the first place, so he has no reason to escape.

No matter what, you must be responsible for cleaning up the mess.

The longer that Yiwen Jielin wanders outside, the more people will be harmed.

"Don't the witches in Los Angeles take any precautions?"

"What do you think we can do to prevent it? It's just to build a few defensive barriers for our address, but this kind of barrier can't prevent Yiwen Jielin at all."

"Then there's nothing we can do?" Chen Zhao was more worried about the safety of Sienna, Chris and Cheryl.

"Either we have several witches living together, but this is almost impossible."

"How about you hide in my house for a few days and wait until I resolve the matter?" Chen Zhao asked.

"No, we are fine as we are now."

"Is there any news from your teacher?"

"Not yet. If there is any news, I will inform you."

…

"Mr. Steven, you look very tired these past two days. Do you really need a rest?" James stood in front of Steven.

"I don't feel anything is wrong. How is the set up?" Steven asked.

"80% of the construction has been completed, and filming is expected to officially start in the next two days."

"Also, I need a new assistant. Please help me get this news out." Steven added, "Now, come with me to see the set."

Steven rubbed his eyebrows. He did feel that his physical strength had dropped a lot in the past two days.

However, he went to the hospital twice in succession and concluded that his physical condition was normal and there was nothing abnormal at all.

After walking a few steps, Steven already felt tired.

This is an obvious decrease in physical strength. You must know that some time ago, even if he spent a crazy night with two women, Steven would not be so tired.

But now, he finds it difficult to even take two steps.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, and Steven slowed down, sweating on his forehead.

James saw Steven's state and quickly stepped forward to support Steven.

"Okay, go away, I'm not old enough yet to need help."

Steven steeled himself, inspected the set, and then hurried home to rest.

But he was woken up by the ringing of the phone again: "Hey, James, what's the matter?"

No one will feel happy if their sleep is disturbed.

"Mr. Steven, I have sent out the notice for you. I wonder when you will be free to interview those applicants?"

Steven's name is still very useful. Once a notice is sent out, there are hundreds of job seekers.

Then James conducted a round of screening first, and there were about ten people left.

"Let's hang up tomorrow morning if there's nothing else to do."

"It's okay. Sorry to disturb your rest."

After James hung up the phone, Steven wanted to lie on the bed and sleep again, but he couldn't fall asleep.

When he stood up, Steven felt that his body bones had become weak, and he could barely hold himself up.

However, when he saw himself in the mirror, his expression changed instantly.

Her hair, which was originally mixed with brown and white, turned completely white.

At the same time, there were countless wrinkles on his face, and Steven felt as if he had aged ten years.

Steven kept rubbing his eyes, refusing to believe that this was true.

At this time, Steven ignored the pain all over his body and went directly to the hospital for a check-up.

Waiting for the inspection report was very painful. Steven had been waiting for three hours, and his mental state became even worse.

"Mr. Steven, we have detected that your cells are dividing rapidly, which is a very bad sign." A doctor handed the examination report to Steven.

"What do you mean?" Steven asked confused.

"It's a disease of aging, and you probably have it."

"Can you be more straightforward?"

"You are aging dozens of times faster than normal," the doctor said.

Steven's mind suddenly froze and he fainted.

Aging dozens of times faster than normal?

"Is there a cure for my aging syndrome?"

"No, according to current medicine, aging disease cannot be treated, and it cannot even be suppressed."

"What should I do?" Steven asked.

"Sorry, I can't give you much advice. Please stay optimistic."
