Demons Beside You

“I"ll have someone take you back.”

 Steven ordered one of the crew"s boat for Chen Zhao. His work with the crew wasn"t done yet, so he could only walk Chen Zhao onto the boat.

 Chen Zhao had to return to UCLA. Tiger was still in his recovery training these days. Recovery training was very important, so Chen Zhao had to try not to miss any days.

 Steven was a workaholic. He went wild during breaks, since he was old but his heart wasn"t. But once he started working, he would also work without rest. He didn"t return to the pier until nighttime.

 As soon as he got off the boat, a figure charged over and poured some liquid onto him.

 “Old *sshole, die!”

 Steven and the other staff were all shocked. They thought it was acid or something else, but Steven didn"t feel any pain. Looking up, the person was already restrained.

 It was none other than Agatha, who he"d just fired.

 “Take this crazy woman to the police!” Steven yelled angrily.

 He shook off the water on him. Had the crazy woman poured water on him to scare him?

 Steven still didn"t feel safe, so he went to the hospital to check. He also collected the liquid for a test.

 He finally felt rea.s.sured after it was confirmed that he was okay. The water that Agatha had poured on him was just normal water.

 By the time Agatha left the police station, it was already dawn.

 “That old b*stard Steven and that Chinese man, I"m gonna kill you both… You two deserve to die!” Agatha"s features were dark and had a murderous veil.

 When she got home, she saw that the light was on.

 “Who is it?” She was confused.

 She lived alone and had no one else in her house. Agatha didn"t think it was a thief either, because she"d set up a ward in her door. It would be activated if a stranger entered, but she didn"t feel that her ward had gone off. It must be someone she was familiar with.

 Agatha pushed the door open and saw someone sitting in the living room. When the person sensed Agatha, they stood up.

 “Hi, Agatha.”

 “Teacher Evangeline? How come you"re here?” Agatha gaped at her teacher.

 Evangeline had disappeared for 20 years and was now in front of her.

 “What, surprised?”

 “Teacher, where did you go these years?”

 Evangeline smiled at Agatha and opened her arms. “You grew up and matured.”

 Agatha hesitated, but she still hugged Evangeline. She felt that Evangeline was hugging her too tightly. She couldn"t breathe.

 “Teacher, not so strongly.”

 But instead of letting go, Evangeline hugged her even more tightly.

 “Teacher…Teacher.”

 It felt like Agatha"s ribs were about to snap, but Evangeline hugged tighter and tighter.

 “Teacher…”

 “Agatha.” Evangeline suddenly applied more strength.

 Crack—

 Finally, she let go. Agatha"s body turned limp. She collapsed onto the ground, blood trickling out of her mouth.

 “Agatha, don"t be mad at me.” Evangeline wriggled her body. There seemed to be something moving in her neck.

 Ethan was under house arrest by Li Qing these days. He wasn"t even allowed to take out the garbage.

 He could only sit in the motel all day. It felt like he was about to die.

 Just then, a beautiful woman walked over.

 Ethan"s eyes brightened. “Hi, do you need a room?”

 “Yes.”

 “One person?”

 “Yes.”

 Ethan studied this woman. She was honestly too pretty and her clothes looked expensive too. She didn"t look like the type to come to his c.r.a.ppy motel.

 “I"ll take you to your room.”

 “Okay.”

 Just then, Li Qing came downstairs. When she pa.s.sed by the woman, they looked at each other at the same time. They seemed to sense something.

 “Li, watch the counter. I"ll take her upstairs.”

 “Mr. Ethan, how about I take her up? You can watch the store.”

 “No, no need. I"ll do it.”

 There was no need for someone else to lead this pretty girl. He could do it himself. Maybe something l.u.s.tful could happen. Ethan grew more excited as he thought about it.

 “Mr. Ethan, your STDs haven"t healed yet,” Li Qing said without feeling shame. “Please don"t go walking around.”

 “Li, you…” Ethan"s face reddened. Okay, he would have no l.u.s.tful events.

 This pretty girl definitely wouldn"t get in bed with him anymore.

 What a pity…

 “Miss, please follow me.”

 Evangeline glanced at Li Qing and followed behind her. On the third floor, Li Qing slowed down and tensed slightly.

 Evangeline smiled faintly. “You seem scared of me, Chinese witch.”

 “What are you?” Li Qing stopped and looked at Evangeline with furrowed brows.

 “Guess.” Evangeline suddenly grabbed Li Qing"s neck.

 Li Qing reacted quickly too. She somehow had a red string in her hand. The string quickly wrapped around Evangeline"s wrist. Then there was a sizzling sound.

 Evangeline immediately pulled her arm back. She saw that there was a deep red mark on her arm.

 “Red string burns, seven stars light up!” Li Qing turned her finger. The string came back, wrapping around her finger. She pointed forward again. “Kill all evil!”

 Evangeline was pointed in the chest. There were suddenly countless screaming souls on her.

 Li Qing instantly felt dizzy and retreated hurriedly. But she couldn"t block the screams. They were about to burst her eardrums.

 “Guard the heart with the lights as guidance.”

 As soon as Li Qing cleared her mind, Evangeline grabbed her chest.

 “Ah!” Li Qing cried out. She was sent flying into the wall.

 Evangeline was about to climb the wall when Ethan came up the stairs. Seeing the strange-looking Evangeline, he yelled, “What"s that?”

 Bang!

 Evangeline"s chest was shot through, a b.l.o.o.d.y hole opening up.

 Argh! Evangeline roared at Ethan.

 Scared, Ethan fired his gun subconsciously. This time, he shot Evangeline"s neck. Only half of her neck remained.

 She touched her neck and glared at Ethan.

 Ethan was about to p.i.s.s his pants. What was this? She still wasn"t dead?
