Demons Beside You

Chapter 411: What The Hell Is A Nest Of Curses?

Just when everyone was worried about Chen Zhao, he punched.

Crack!

“Ah…”

The baseball bat broke into two as Jared flew backward.

“Someone, call the ambulance.” Then, Chen Zhao turned around and left.

“Wow…”

“Handsome!”

“I’m wet…”

Eveleigh caught up with Chen Zhao and tapped his shoulder.

“Chen, nice one.”

“Did you run to me just to tell me that?”

“What else do you want me to say?”

“Nothing, bye.”

…

Chen Zhao stretched. Then, he found Wright and took back all his pets.

Because of the class earlier, he had left his pets with Wright.

In her over-excitement, she rode Princess around to scare people again.

Chen Zhao thought that Wright would eventually be impeached by the college board if she kept behaving like this.

With his various pets, Chen Zhao left the staff building. Suddenly, a ball rolled toward him and stopped beside his feet.

A little girl trotted toward him. “Uncle, could you please pick up the ball for me?”

Smiling, Chen Zhao bent down, but before he could reach the ball, he felt his arm go out of control.

This had not happened in a long time. Since Chen Zhao mastered Spiritual Connection, he had been able to control his arm perfectly.

But today, his right arm went berserk again. One of the eyes on the back of his hand opened without warning.

Then, the Mouth of Glutton also opened. It grabbed the ball on the ground and swallowed it.

The little girl’s expression changed drastically. “Shit, how did you discover it… I’ll be back.”

Stunned, Chen Zhao watched as the girl ran away.

Wait… What the hell?

Rupert’s face paled. He’s too powerful.

What spell is that?

How did he devour the curse?

After all, it was the Curse of the Sacrifice, nominally the most vicious curse.

The Curse of the Sacrifice was not fatal. In fact, most curses were not.

However, it would cause the target to bleed continuously, like menstruation, regardless of the target’s gender.

Before the curse was stopped or broken, the cursed would keep bleeding.

Think about it. If a person was hit with the Curse of the Sacrifice, he or she would basically be menstruating every day. Nobody could take that.

Furthermore, the curse was very difficult to break. Rupert had originally expected it to be a simple task.

She clearly did not expect her target to break the curse.

No, not break. He devoured the curse!

She had never heard of such a spell!

Chen Zhao, who had just scared Rupert away, was now having a headache as he stared at the eye on the back of his hand.

Since the True Visioner’s six Pristine Eyeballs were embedded in his right arm, they had been inactive.

Even when he managed to control his right arm completely, he was still unable to activate the eyeballs. Chen Zhao had almost forgotten about them.

Today, for some reason, he managed to activate the first Pristine Eyeball, but he could not control it again.

Nevertheless, after the Mouth ate the ball, Chen Zhao felt a wave of satisfaction.

What’s this??

Are rubber balls really that delicious?

Should I go and buy a few more rubber balls?…

As for the girl’s words, he did not hear them clearly.

Chen Zhao thought that the girl was just too frightened.

Luckily, she was only about seven or eight years ago. He did not have to worry about her telling everyone about what she had seen.

Even if she did, people would think that it was just a child’s imagination.

On his way home, Chen Zhao kept studying his right arm.

The eye was really troublesome. He did not know how he had opened it, and now he could not close it or even control the Mouth.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao had an idea. He could not control the Mouth probably because the eye had somehow “usurped” his rights.

Instead of controlling the Mouth, could he control the eye instead?

Chen Zhao tried it out. Indeed, the eye was much easier to control.

He could feel the eye. Just then, Samuel trotted and jumped into Chen Zhao’s arms.

“Master.”

“Samuel, do you know what’s happening?”

“Pristine Eyeball. You’ve activated a Cursed Eye and gained Curse Vision.”

“What do you mean?”

“Basically it can detect the existence of curses. Most curses are inferior spells, but precisely because of that, they’re hard to detect. This eye has the ability to sense and discover curses.”

“But how did it manage to control the Mouth of Glutton?”

“Pristine Eyeballs are just organs and have no awareness. It’s just like how you see food and will subconsciously eat it.”

After thinking, Chen Zhao called Sienna, “Sienna, where are you now?”

“Chen, what a perfect moment! We’ve at Movich’s power station. Come here quickly! There’s a problem we can’t solve.”

Chen Zhao was speechless. He called Sienna for help, but Sienna asked him to help her instead.

Fine… Since Sienna had already made the request, Chen Zhao decided to go to Movich’s place.

He had no idea what they had encountered. It actually got Sienna.

When Chen Zhao reached the power station, he realized that it was empty.

“I’m at the power station. Come out and bring me in.”

Soon, Movich Tutas ran out.

“Chen, you’re finally here.”

“What’s happening? Why is there no one in such a large power station?”

“I asked everyone to go for a break. If they find out what’s inside, I think nobody will come to work ever again. I definitely don’t want to see that happen.”

“So what’s happening inside?”

“I don’t know the exact details. Today, an engineer discovered a glitch. He brought some people into the station and realized that something was attached to one of the generator sets. It looked like an enormous ant nest. In order to remove the nest, the generator set has to be stopped. So the engineer informed me, and when I saw the thing, I informed Sienna.”

“And then?”

“After Sienna came, her expression clearly changed. She asked me to empty the station first.”

“Bring me in.”

When they entered the power station, Chen Zhao saw Chris waiting at the entrance.

“Chen, you’re finally here!”

“What’s the situation now?”

“I don’t know, Sienna didn’t allow me to go in. Too dangerous, she said. Only Cheryl followed her… Chen, am I very useless?”

“Err…” Chen Zhao did not know how to reply.

Although it was an established fact, he could not say it directly.

“Actually, you’re really useful. You have just yet to discover your talents.”

“Really?”

“I think we should talk about the current situation.” Chen Zhao turned his eyes away. Of course it’s fake.

Just then, Cheryl ran out in an awkward manner. There were signs that she had transformed earlier, and her body was covered in a green liquid.

“Chen, here you are! Can you defeat a Nest of Curses?”
