Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

This is Chen Zhao's first visit to the witch club.

In a city like New York, it is hard to imagine such a quiet and secluded manor.

The outer walls of the manor are covered with green vines and are completely unpruned.

Although the inner paths are spooky, they don't make people feel scary.

Charlotte is Chen Zhao's leader and has been leading the way.

Chen Zhao could feel some eyes hidden in the darkness.

But from beginning to end, no one appeared in front of Chen Zhao.

Charlotte took Chen Zhao to a small domed house. The surroundings and top of the house were also covered with vines.

"Such a small house is the library of your witch club? You won't lie to me, right?"

"You'll know when you get in." Chen Zhao entered the house.

I found a pit going vertically downward in the middle of the room.

It is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen, and a circular staircase extends downward.

This is an inverted tower.

Chen Zhao walked down, and Charlotte followed behind.

"Can I read all the books here?"

"You can read any book you can open, and you can record it in any way, but you can't take the book out."

Chen Zhao nodded and asked again: "Some books can't be opened?"

"This magic library has been blessed by many magics. Magic has penetrated into every magic book, so many magic books cannot be opened unless they are directly destroyed, but the magic books will also be destroyed. "

Following the winding stairs to the bottom, Chen Zhao realized how much space there was at the bottom.

This is a circular room with a diameter about the size of a basketball court.

There are dozens of bookshelves surrounding the entire basement.

Charlotte snapped her fingers and the lights in the entire library came on.

"Mr. Chen, you can watch as you like, I won't accompany you."

Charlotte did not follow Chen Zhao. She also took down a magic book from a bookshelf and sat on the ground to read.

Each bookshelf has labels on the shelves.

Curse system, voodoo system, natural system, enhanced system, summoning system, elemental system, deathrattle system, prophecy system...

Chen Zhao picked up a book at random and opened it.

Voodoo type...well, this doesn't suit me.

Chen Zhao suddenly heard a mysterious record in front of a bookshelf.

Chen Zhao is always full of curiosity about mysterious things.

Chen Zhao picked up a book and flipped through a few pages.

There are many magic props and demon emblems recorded in it.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao's hand stopped.

key! The key to mystery, the key to the unknown.

In the text:

There are many records about keys.

The only thing that can be confirmed so far is that there are thirteen keys in total.

And keys appear in every era.

That is the legacy left by ancient civilization.

There are also people who have specially collected keys and successfully used them to open the third door.

This is the limit that humans can open.

If you can open the book and have the key, you can try to open the first door.

If you want to know more secrets, collect keys and open more doors.

Maybe you will find the final answer.

Open the door? What door is open?

Chen Zhao started with the first golden key given to her by Huinipu, and then obtained the second key from her eldest father.

The third key was obtained from Murphy's mother and the fourth key is from the Pamela Collection.

But Chen Zhao still doesn't understand what the key is going to unlock?

Currently, I have come across two books that record keys, but neither of them mentions where the key opens.

Chen Zhao took out a key. This was not the first time that Chen Zhao held a key in a daze.

But Chen Zhao still didn't understand how to use the key.

Knock knock——

At this moment, Chen Zhao heard footsteps.

Looking up, a woman walked over.

The woman was wearing a white robe and had her hair down.

It must be the witch here.

"Hello."

"Hello." Chen Zhao responded.

"Are you reading a magic book?"

"Uh..." This should be obvious.

"Is there anything you don't understand? Maybe I can help you explain."

Chen Zhao thought, maybe this woman can tell me what the key is and what it is used for.

"Do you know what this key is?"

"The key to the unknown, the key to mystery," the woman said.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes, what is written on it, I want you to say.

"The key is used to unlock the potential of the human body," the woman said.

Chen Zhao's heart moved and he asked again: "How to open it?"

"I don't know. I don't have the key. I just remember that it was recorded in a book. Maybe if I find that book, I can know how to use it."

"What about the book?"

"It seems to be down there."

"under?"

"Yes, down there."

"Under the library?"

"Don't you know, there is a secret library down there."

Chen Zhao frowned: "Then why did you tell me?"

"You asked, so I'll answer your question." The woman smiled and said, "Goodbye."

The woman turned and left, and Chen Zhao watched the woman walk around a bookshelf.

Chen Zhao walked behind the bookshelf, only to find that the woman was gone.

"What are you looking for?" Charlotte stood behind Chen Zhao.

"There was a witch just now. I chased her and found that she had disappeared."

"That's normal. You're not the only one who can come in here." Charlotte replied.

"Is there a lower library here?"

"That's right."

"Not open to the public?"

"Do you want to go? I can take you there, but you have to open the library yourself."

Chen Zhao thought for a moment, looked at Charlotte and said, "By the way, Miss Charlotte, you haven't paid me yesterday's reward yet."

Charlotte hesitated for a long time, raised her head and looked at Chen Zhao, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Sure enough, a fake." Chen Zhao went up to grab 'Charlotte', but the moment he grabbed Charlotte, her body melted like a candle.

"Chen, what are you doing?" Charlotte's voice appeared behind Chen Zhao again.

Chen Zhao turned to look at Charlotte, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"Are you real or fake?"

"What are you talking about? What is true or false?"

"There is something weird in this library. I first saw a woman in a white robe and told me that there was a secret library down here. Then I met an impostor of yours, pretending to be you, and wanted to take me Go to that secret library and let me open it.”

"Is there a library here? I don't know. Maybe I should ask the Great Witch."

Charlotte came to the library many times, but she didn't notice anything unusual here.

Why did Chen Zhao encounter such strange things when he came here?
