Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"President, we are at the exit now. Where are you?"

"I see you guys. If you go a few steps further, I'll be at the outermost entrance."

"No...where is it?"

West looked around, but still didn't see Chen Zhao.

"President, did you use some invisibility magic?"

Suddenly, West's butt was kicked hard.

West looked back and found that Chen Zhao was behind him, holding a baby in his arms.

It was precisely because Chen Zhao was holding the child that West's gaze subconsciously ignored Chen Zhao.

In fact, this is the blind spot of the visual field. The so-called blind spot of the visual field is not the kind of corners, but the visual information that is automatically ignored by the mind.

"President..."

Every member looked at Chen Zhao in confusion.

A president holding a child! ?

It can't be fake, right?

This is completely different from Chen Zhao's character.

"My daughter, my biological daughter." Chen Zhao said.

"Chen, is there any magic that can make people pregnant and give birth to children in a few days?" Gaia looked at Chen Zhao with bright eyes: "Can you also cast one on me? I also want a child, but Ten months of pregnancy is just too long.”

"There is no magic, this is not my and Fali's child."

"President, are you eating outside behind the president's wife's back?"

"Fake, I didn't eat it secretly." Chen Zhao glared at West: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off."

"Why do I feel like this is not a vacation?" West's mood suddenly became sour.

"Who said it's not a vacation? I'm here to make up for the regrets of your last trip to New York." Chen Zhao said, "Of course, besides that, there is a small task."

Everyone should have guessed that, as expected, this was not a vacation at all.

"What mission?"

"Yesterday, a cultist threw my daughter from the rooftop of the hospital."

Everyone took a breath, they were not surprised why Chen Zhao's daughter was still alive.

They were amazed that someone dared to treat Chen Zhao's daughter like this.

"Find them for me! I'm going to tear them into pieces, all of them!" Chen Zhao looked at everyone: "Can you do it?"

Everyone saw the terrifying and ferocious look on Chen Zhao's face.

You know, even when facing the source of his corruption, Chen Zhao always had a playful smile on his face.

With his own unruly BUFF, this also made them think that Chen Zhao would never be serious.

But now, they discovered that Chen Zhao was not serious.

But when he became serious, he was actually a little scary.

It was obvious that Chen Zhao was really angry this time.

But this is understandable.

Throw Chen Zhao's daughter off the rooftop.

How much heart does it take to dare to do this?

Is Chen Zhao really planning to go on a killing spree this time?

I hope there aren't too many people in this cult.

And now even West doesn't dare to say anything.

Because he really felt the anger contained in Chen Zhao's tone.

"Go find them for me."

"Yes, President."

None of them were in the mood for vacation at this time. If they didn't help Chen Zhao handle this matter, there was no telling how Chen Zhao would punish them.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. Find a hotel to stay in first. I'm not in a hurry. I'll take my time."

Haha... are you not in a hurry?

Anyone who takes Chen Zhao's words seriously is a fool.

They didn't want to wait until Chen Zhao took the initiative to ask them if they had any news.

…

After arriving at the hotel, they were not in the mood to enjoy it.

They gathered directly in West's room for a meeting.

"Which direction should we start investigating first?" Pamela asked.

She also came this time, originally thinking of going on vacation.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened.

However, she also wanted to do something about this matter.

After all, she had not contributed much in the previous actions.

As a result, her presence in the association has never been very high.

But there was nothing we could do about it. In the previous operations, the first was to hunt down the 'Family' organization, the second was the New York operation, and the third was to deal with the source of corruption. She was not suitable to participate.

This time, we finally have a chance to deal with the cult.

Everyone has no clue about investigating this kind of thing.

Even Gaia doesn't know where to start with this.

West thought for a moment and said, "The only clue now is the cultist."

"The president said that the cultist had fallen to death."

"You can investigate her interpersonal relationships, her social groups, family and friends around her."

"I went to the police station and pulled their files," West said.

"West, can we still access the police department's files?"

"Of course." West said proudly.

…

Inside an abandoned church in a suburb of San Francisco.

The church was in disarray, and the cross in front had fallen sideways.

Dozens of people gathered here, everyone wearing black robes.

The foreheads of these men in black robes all have different patterns carved with daggers.

These are Satanists.

You can tell from the name that this is a cult.

Although American imperialism is about religious freedom, it has also given rise to many weird and even evil religious groups.

That's what Satanism is like.

The doctrine of Satanism is annihilationism.

And their behavior is similar to that of terrorists.

Of course, they're not going to set off bombs or anything like that.

But what they did was no worse than terrorists.

Dozens of believers gathered in front of the magic circle in the middle, chanting demonic incantations.

This is a Satanic prayer, just like a monk chanting or a Christian prayer.

At this time, a man in black robes came out and said loudly: "Devil failed. She failed to sacrifice to my god. She was not pious enough, and her heart was not pure enough. Her soul will be punished. She will not be saved by our God before the end of time."

The man in black robe looked at the other believers: "Lord Sarelas can't wait any longer. In order to help Lord Sarelas summon him back from the void as soon as possible, you must work harder to find those babies who meet the requirements and sacrifice them. Sacrifice to His Majesty Satan."

"Master, hospitals across the city are now on alert. It's already difficult to get hold of the people we've arranged in the hospital." A cultist said.

"Excuse, this is an excuse." The man in black robe shouted loudly: "You think you can't do it even if you haven't tried it before. This only shows that you are not pious enough."

"Whoever takes the initiative to come forward to obtain the gift from His Majesty Satan." The man in black robe looked at each believer.

Those believers looked at the man in black robes with burning eyes. They knew what the so-called gift was.

That is the power they dream of, a magical power beyond ordinary people.

A dozen believers came out and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

The man in black robe looked at the believers who were standing out, and then called them by name: "You, you, you...and you...the four of you will receive His Majesty's gift. Come with me."
