Demons Beside You

Chapter 285: An Unkillable Man

Fali was giving Faith a shower, while Chen Zhao was in the swimming pool outside.

At the moment, Chen Zhao was surrounded by all his demons, including Blackie.

“Still the same problem. It’s not difficult to eliminate the three attached spirits, but how can I separate them from the host without harming them?”

“Kill the host,” Obitos said proudly. He was the first to come out with a solution.

“Yes, a very unique and refined solution, which we shall leave for further discussion later. Does anyone have any other solutions?” Chen Zhao asked.

Blackie was the expert here, but even he could not think of a solution, not to mention the other demons.

“Blackie, what do you think?”

“First, I can confirm that Movich was hit with Bloodline Blend. The three evil spirits are his closest family members, and they were forcibly attached to his body. Feature-wise, they have actually already become part of the host. It’s like you have five fingers, and you feel that five is too many, so you cut off a few fingers and still want them to move. It’s impossible.”

“There’s an old saying in Chinese which has the same meaning as where there’s a will there’s a way. Nothing is absolutely impossible.” Chen Zhao did not want to give up.

After all, it would affect Movich’s entire life and Chen Zhao’s payment.

“Human, can’t think of anything. The more I think, the hungrier I get.” Beelzebub had already lain on the ground and stopped thinking.

The other demons were also dawdling. No demon wanted to waste their time and brainpower on such a matter.

“I’ll give the one who can think of a solution one year worth of demonic crystals.”

All the demons were energized at once. However, they only suggested ridiculous solutions, which were even worse than Obitos’.

“Don’t you have a more reliable solution?” Chen Zhao slapped his forehead and looked at the demons.

Just then, Fali also walked out, carrying Faith who was wrapped up in a towel. Fali asked, “What are you talking about?”

“I have a troublesome patient.”

“How?”

Fali knew that Chen Zhao’s medical skills were excellent. Hence, she wanted to know what illness Chen Zhao would describe as being troublesome.

“To be accurate, the person’s not ill. There are evil spirits attached to his body.”

“Then it should be an exorcism, right? Can you not do it?”

“It won’t be a problem if they’re ordinary spirits. The thing is, he was hit by a spell. The three spirits turned out to be his father, mother, and grandmother who had raised him up.”

“Will the three spirits harm the host?”

“No.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“Oh, he just has three distorted faces on his chest. Whenever they see light, they’ll scream and cause everyone to have concussion except the host. Apart from those, he’s just fine.”

“…”

“Can you not pull the three spirits out of his body by force?”

“No, they’ve already totally fused with each other. Pulling them out will be like cutting off your fingers and still wanting them to function.”

“Forget it, I can’t help you. I’ll bring Faith to bed first. Don’t stay in the pool for too long.”

The more Chen Zhao thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He swam a few laps in the pool.

The water at night was still somewhat cold. After swimming, Chen Zhao left the pool and dried himself up.

Then, he changed to his sportswear. He informed Fali and then went out for a night run.

Chen Zhao would not usually go for night runs, but he really could not fall asleep tonight.

Normally, whenever he could not sleep, he would not let Fali sleep too.

He would spend all his energy on Fali. However, Faith was there and he could not do anything.

Therefore, he could only expend his energy by exercising. It was not too late, only just over eight, but the coastal road was already rather empty. Chen Zhao enjoyed the sea breeze as he jogged on the sidewalk.

Suddenly, a person appeared on the path. The person was still wearing a hood, hiding his face.

Chen Zhao did not notice him and collided into him directly.

The person was blown backward by a meter and collapsed on the ground.

“Sorry, are you alright?”

Chen Zhao wanted to help the person to get up, but when he touched the person’s hand, he felt a sharp burning sensation.

“Ah… What’s in your hand?” Chen Zhao withdrew his hand and realized that there was a brand.

“Chen, it’s the imprint of a demonic badge. There’s something wrong with that guy.”

Chen Zhao looked at the person before him. “Stop!”

Just then, a car on the road lost control and charged toward Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao quickly jumped away and barely dodged the car.

“Buddy, are you okay?” the driver asked, sticking his head out.

Chen Zhao was not hit. He saw the hooded man walking away and immediately gave chase.

Realizing that Chen Zhao was chasing him, the hooded man also started to run.

He was not slow at all. Chen Zhao followed him closely.

Smith sped up, but soon he was short on stamina.

“Damn, why isn’t he dead yet?!” Smith cursed as he ran.

He would find his prey using the same method every night, and it was really simple. As long as he touched the victim’s body with his hand, he would leave an imprint. Bad luck would quickly kill the victim.

Smith would obtain the victim’s luck, while the Cursed Coin would obtain the victim’s soul.

Just as Chen Zhao was chasing Smith, a lamppost by the road suddenly fell down without warning and smashed onto Chen Zhao’s body.

It was really a heavy hit. Smith stopped and looked at Chen Zhao, heaving a long sigh of relief. He’s finally dead…

Just as Smith thought that it was over, Chen Zhao got up from the ground again.

“Not dead? What’s wrong with him?”

Pushing the lamppost aside, Chen Zhao raised his head and looked at Smith.

He finally saw Smith’s face clearly. “It’s you?!”

Chen Zhao had seen Smith at the entrance of the abandoned college building when Sienna called him for help.

That time, both Chen Zhao and Blackie found Smith somewhat strange, but they did not investigate it in depth.

Now, Chen Zhao could finally confirm that there was something wrong.

Smith immediately ran away, and Chen Zhao obviously continued to chase him.

The two raced against each other. Chen Zhao followed Smith closely, not planning to let him go.

When Smith reached a car park, he could not run anymore.

Just when Chen Zhao thought Smith was going to surrender, a car hit Chen Zhao from the back.

Chen Zhao flew forward for a few meters, but the car still drove toward him. Chen Zhao made a roll and dodged the car. However, the car beside him also started its engine.

“Chen Zhao, he’s releasing evil spirits to control the cars. Don’t fight with him here.”
