Demons Beside You

“Chris, call Chen.” Cheryl looked out of the window and located Sienna, after which she jumped out.

Chris could not stop Cheryl. When she rushed to the window, Cheryl had already made her way down the wall.

Chris would love to learn from Cheryl and jump down from the tenth floor, but considering her strength, she gave up.

She would probably end up paralyzed.

Can’t get through! Chris could not reach Chen Zhao… Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

Damn, Chen, where are you?!

Just pick up already!

When Chris ran downstairs, Sienna and Cheryl were nowhere to be seen.

“Chen, please, pick up! Pick up…”

Sorry, the number you have dialed…

It was the same response. Chris almost went insane in her panic.

At the moment, Chen Zhao was training a few underlings.

Chen Zhao showed the ten underlings a photo on his phone. “Remember, this is the madam. If you can’t even remember this, I’ll twist your heads off and kick them like football.”

The ten underlings fought to look at the phone.

They could hardly recognize humans, so they were trying their best to memorize the face in the photo.

In fact, it was a common characteristic of most demons in Hell. It was just like how Chen Zhao could not differentiate the ten underlings.

Nevertheless, the underlings could distinguish people based on smell. Chen Zhao took some of Fali’s common items and asked the underlings to remember her smell.

“Right, now let me test you,” Chen Zhao said as he picked a few photos. “Which one is the madam?”

“This…”

“This one…”

The ten underlings gave very different answers. They could not even tell the gender of a person.

One of them got it right, but Chen Zhao really suspected that it was just because of probability, not that the underling actually recognized Fali.

After all, even if the underlings had randomly selected a photo each, one or two of them would probably get it correct.

Indeed, Chen Zhao tested the underling alone and this time he was wrong.

Next, Chen Zhao took out a few pieces of clothing. Some of them had been worn by Fali, while others had not.

“Which of them belong to the madam?”

This time, all the ten underlings got it right. They managed to pick out precisely all the items that Fali had worn.

“Great, follow me now,” Chen Zhao said. “It’s internship time.”

Chen Zhao brought the ten underlings and left through the magic door. Just then, his phone suddenly notified him of over ten missed calls from Chris.

Stunned, Chen Zhao called back, “Hey, Chris, what happened?”

“Chen, we have a big problem! Sienna is now being hunted by that monster, and Cheryl went to find her. I’ve been trying to reach you all this while. What should we do?!” Chris said anxiously.

“When did this happen?”

“About two hours ago.”

Chen Zhao’s face darkened. He did not expect there to be an emergency right when he was in the space crevice.

“Do you know where they are now?”

“No… How? Can you find them?” Chris asked, lost and panicked.

Chen Zhao gave it some thought. “Find something that Sienna or Cheryl uses. Black-Ma and White-Ma should be able to locate them.”

Chen Zhao was actually unsure, but apart from the Silly Twins, the underlings could help to track them via smell as well.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Although Black-Ma and White-Ma would be able to find the two, Chen Zhao did not plan to bring them along. After all, they had entered the human world in their true forms. If there was danger, they might die immediately.

The other demons were of little use, too. To be honest, Chen Zhao was probably stronger than them at the moment.

Therefore, Chen Zhao only planned to bring a few underlings with him. He sent the rest back into the crevice.

Even if the few underlings died, Chen Zhao would not regret it.

There were more than a thousand underlings in the crevice, after all. If they were allowed to reproduce, they could cause a population explosion.

Chris sped to Chen Zhao’s house. After she alighted, she sprinted toward Chen Zhao.

“Chen, this is Sienna’s razor… Is it alright?”

“…” Chen Zhao took the razor. “Yes… What does this shave?”

“Leg hair.”

“Watch my house for me. I’m going now.” Chen Zhao left in his car.

…

“Sienna, where are you?” Rupert called Sienna. “I received news that Evangeline has appeared. Three witches have already been attacked.”

“I’m escaping from this place,” Sienna said.

“Come to my place. If we team up, we might be able to fight her.”

“Stop being unrealistic. You can’t defeat her,” Sienna said.

“But where can you even hide? You stand less chance alone.”

“I can’t fight her, but I have a way to hide myself,” Sienna said.

“What?”

“I’ve made myself an Invisibility Potion. I’ve hidden my smell,” Sienna said.

“You sure it’ll work?”

“Probably. It’s not my first time making an Invisibility Potion.”

Sienna was actually not very confident. After all, she was being hunted by a monster, not an ordinary witch.

“Can you tell me your bank details?”

“Why?”

“In case you die, we shouldn’t let the bank gain everything.”

“Go and die!” Sienna hung up in anger.

Sienna’s father, Yiberg, had been controlling the car.

“Dad, where are we?” Sienna looked out of the window. The sky had already darkened, and Sienna was starting to feel increasingly uneasy.

“National Park.”

“Why are we here?” Sienna complained.

“I control the car based on my feelings,” Yiberg said. He had a special ability which would guide him to the correct path.

The ability had been very useful. Indeed, Sienna had escaped from life-threatening situations many times with Yiberg’s ability.

Just then, the car suddenly stopped.

“Why did you stop?”

“It’s out of gas…”

“…”

Bang, bang…

Suddenly, Sienna heard a noise from the trunk.

“What’s in the trunk?”

“The little weregirl.”

“What? Cheryl? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“You didn’t ask.”
