Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chen Zhao asked Vincent to turn around and go back. Chris was still alone in the night wind, standing there shivering.

"Chris, are you okay?"

"Chen." Chrissy had already taken the initiative to throw herself into Chen Zhao's arms.

"Beast." Vincent growled through gritted teeth.

"I'm scared." Chris was really scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chen Zhao was eating tofu openly at this moment, gently patting Chris on the shoulder.

"That thing...is that thing still there?"

Chen Zhao glanced inside the car: "No more."

It is indeed gone. It seems that Chris's guess is correct, it is indeed not a human being.

Could it be a devil?

It shouldn't be a demon. At least the demons Chen Zhao has seen so far have not appeared in human form.

Furthermore, Beelzebub and Raymond both said that before them, there had been no demons in the world for more than a thousand years.

So it must be something like a ghost, right?

However, I don’t know what type that ghost belongs to.

"By the way, your friend said you are a psychic, right? Can you help me get rid of that evil spirit?"

"Um...I'm just a doctor, not a psychic." Chen Zhao smiled bitterly.

Maybe it's just the soul of a person who just died, and it won't take long for him to dissipate.

Chen Zhao does not think that Chris needs evil spirit exorcism services, and this is not within the scope of his business.

"But, what should I do? By the way...Nance...my boyfriend, he may also be haunted by evil spirits. Please help me, help me."

"Chris, I really can't help you. I can't exorcise evil spirits."

Based on Chen Zhao's understanding of evil spirits, this knowledge all came from Lao Hei.

According to Lao Hei, it is impossible for evil spirits to follow a person and usually appear in a fixed place. For example, his home is originally a haunted house.

Of course, it is still a haunted house, but this haunted house has a more sinister one living in it.

Therefore, Chen Zhao felt that Chris was just unlucky and had a recently deceased soul hitchhiking.

What's even more unfortunate is that Chris saw it.

"But, you also saw the evil spirit, right? If you don't know how to get rid of the evil spirit, how could you see the evil spirit?"

"Chen, I think you'd better call the mental hospital. This woman obviously has a mental problem."

"Shut up." Chen Zhao glared at Vincent in the car seat.

Chen Zhao held Chris's shoulders: "Chris, believe me, nothing will happen. It might just be an accident."

"But...I don't dare to drive now...can you drive me back?"

"Um...I don't have a driver's license."

In fact, Chen Zhao can't even drive. He can count on ten fingers the number of times he has touched the steering wheel.

However, in American society, the first thing most young people do when they reach adulthood is to obtain a driver's license.

"Then I'll take this car."

"What about your car?"

"I'll call a tow truck."

"All right."

Chrissy got into Vincent's car, and Vincent was mumbling something, obviously unhappy with Chrissy getting in the car.

Chrissy was obviously frightened. Chen Chen's hand kept holding Chrissy's shoulders, and her body kept shaking slightly.

Chris lives not far away, and within ten minutes, Vincent's car stopped in front of Chris's house.

However, Chrissy looked at the dark room and was still unwilling to get out of the car.

"Chen, I don't want to go home."

"It's already at your doorstep. If you don't want to go home, where can you go?"

"Can you take me to the hotel? I plan to stay there for one night."

"Okay, Vincent, find a hotel nearby."

"Um...Chen, can you lend me some more money? I don't have my credit card."

You don’t have your credit card with you, why don’t you go into the house to get it?

Forget it, you definitely don’t dare.

"Go to Ethan's motel, Ethan is the fat guy from yesterday, remember."

Chris didn't say anything, which was considered acquiescence.

"Don't you need to call your boyfriend?"

"I'm not sure if he's still my boyfriend now, Chen. I'm very scared. I've long discovered that Nance has become very strange recently. He always talks in front of the mirror in the middle of the night, and becomes neurotic. He just It’s like he’s a different person, sullen and irritable.”

"Please, miss, I'm driving, please don't tell me horror stories, okay? I'm getting goosebumps."

Chrissy shut up, obviously not wanting to anger Vincent any more and avoid being kicked out of the car.

Chen Zhao thought for a while but didn't say anything. He thought he would ask Lao Hei for details when he got back.

If Chris or his boyfriend really encounters this kind of trouble, if it can be solved, then help them solve it.

Chen Zhao was not sure. The main thing was to see whether Lao Hei could solve it.

If he can handle it, then everything is easy to say.

If Lao Hei can't handle it, there's nothing Chen Zhao can do.

The car arrived outside Ethan's hotel, and Chen Zhao took Chris out of the car.

"Chen, eh... isn't this the beauty from the store yesterday? Hello... Chen, you went out and brought back another beauty."

No wonder Ethan's tone was so sour, he was really envious of Chen Zhao's luck.

"Chris is staying here tonight. Get her a room."

"Room 301 has a big bed and a very nice environment. It's enough for you."

Chen Zhao and Chris didn't care about Ethan's joke. They were both adults, not the kind of minors who had nothing to do.

Chen Zhao took the door key directly: "I'll take you up."

"Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"Is that...appropriate?"

Chrissy looked at the dark room, she really didn't have the courage to be alone.

Even though an hour had passed, she was still in shock.

"I am afraid."

"Okay." Chen Zhao never knows how to refuse.

"You sit down for a while and I'll take a shower."

…

As expected, the married woman couldn't do it, the guilt was too strong.

Chen Zhao stood up and left the room.

Chen Zhao has never considered himself a gentleman, nor has he considered himself a good person since he came here.

And according to his taste, it has always been cold.

It's just that Chris has a fiancé after all, so Chen Zhao really can't do such a thing as ruining someone's family.

So after thinking about it, he decided to give up that tempting impulse.
