Demons Beside You

“Do you feel anything now?”

“The point of injection still hurts.”

“Anything else?”

“No... Is your potion ineffective? Or do I have to wait?”

“I’m not sure either.”

“...”

David still went to the police station looking troubled, while Chen Zhao also started another day of work.

Everyone in the house had left. Chen Zhao opened the metallic box.

He realized that there were many white crystals in the box. Are these not demonic crystals?

Taking out a white crystal, Chen Zhao began to inspect it. “What’s this?”

“Human, where did you get that disgusting angelic crystal from? Take it away! Don’t come near me!” Beelzebub roared at once.

Angelic crystal? So it’s called angelic crystal.

“What are its uses?”

“Nothing, but its radiance will burn demons including me like fire.”

Since demonic crystals had special uses, so should angelic crystals.

Chen Zhao believed that angelic crystals were certainly not useless.

There were many pieces of angelic crystals in the metallic box. Some were huge, while others were much smaller.

Chen Zhao suspected that these angelic crystals were formed because he had helped to eliminate those evil spirits last night.

He kept the angelic crystals, planning to further examine them later.

“Wash your hands, or don’t touch me.”

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes at Beelzebub for his huge reaction.

Then, he called a house maintenance company, requesting a repair.

He paid another two thousand for this.

...

David was on his way to the station. He had no idea how his vice-captain would scold him after knowing that he had lost his police car.

Thinking of this, David could feel his head hurt.

Of course, David had already thought of an excuse. He would say that last night, he discovered his police car had been stolen, after which he spent the whole night looking for it.

Just then, a loud car collision was heard before him.

Lifting his head, David saw two cars which just had a head-on collision. Moreover, it seemed that both their speeds had been very fast, especially the Honda. Its front had completely retracted and even its body was deformed.

The other car, a Mercedes, was in a slightly better condition. The driver walked out of the car with his head covered in blood.

David charged forward immediately. He discovered that the Honda driver was trapped in his seat.

He quickly attempted to open the door, which was stuck.

Then, David forcefully pulled the door, tearing it away from the car.

“Sir, are you alright?”

“My leg’s stuck,” the Honda driver said in pain.

“Do you have a jack on your car?”

“No.” The Honda driver was still very conscious.

David looked at the situation and suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps he could physically move the seat away so that the driver could come out...

David entered the front passenger seat. “Sir, I’ll try to push the seat backwards. See if you can move.”

The Honda driver nodded with difficulty. David raised his legs and placed his feet on the steering wheel, after which he started to kick forward.

Clack, clack...

The sound of metal stretching was heard. The Honda driver suddenly realized that he could move. His injury was not severe and he was just stuck. Therefore, after more space was created, he immediately escaped from the car.

Soon, an ambulance arrived at the site. David knew the paramedic, Faur.

“Ms. Faur, we meet again.”

“Indeed.” Faur glanced at David. “Can you explain to me the situation?”

David explained to her what had just happened. Faur nodded, “By the way, yesterday you and that girl’s father brought the girl out. Today, her father brought her back again. She’s already awake. You’ve brought her to Chen’s place, right?”

“Err... I’m gonna be late. Bye.” David turned around, ready to leave.

“Do you still want my number?”

“Yes, we went to Chen’s place.”

“Thanks.”

“What’s your number?”

“Should we meet again, I’ll give it to you.”

“Liar! You liar!” David cursed immediately.

David stared in indignation as Faur left. However, he soon came to his senses.

Just now in the Honda, he had managed to separate the seat from the front of the car without much effort.

Of course, he was also unsure if it was due to his strength or the poor quality of the car.

“Perhaps it’s Chen’s potion?”

It was still a few kilometers away from the police station. David started running and his speed became faster and faster, but he did not feel tired at all.

He charged all the way to the station, where he started panting heavily. It was still tiring.

However, he did not feel totally exhausted, as if he could still run.

His body really did seem to be different.

Instead of heading to his office, David went to the gym directly.

It was 9a.m. at the moment. The gym was already filled with many strong policemen.

David walked in front of a barbell that weighed 50kg.

He reached out and lifted the barbell. It felt extremely light.

David added two more 20kg weights, which made the barbell 90kg.

He used a bit more strength and managed to lift it up.

It still felt quite light. He had managed to lift it without difficulty.

“David, why’re you in the gym? You don’t normally come here.”

A burly black man walked to David and saw him with the barbell.

“Huh? You’re quite strong. That’s 90kg.”

“It still feels somewhat light.”

“How about two more pieces?”

“Sure.”

The black man added two more 10kg weights onto the barbell.

“Not enough. More.”

“Still not enough.”

“Kid, I can’t add anymore. I’m afraid something will happen to you.” The black man exercised frequently. Judging by his size and muscles, he definitely knew about the endurance of the human body better than David.

“Fine.”

David shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He also did not want his performance to be too shocking.

However, he could confirm that his fitness had indeed increased drastically.

“Feels hungry.” David rubbed his stomach.

Very quickly, David realized that he was not just hungry, but rather starving...

In the police station restaurant, David spent forty dollars on breakfast.

He drank 1 gallon of milk, and ate more than a dozen sandwiches and burgers.

A gallon is about 3.7 liters, and a normal packet of milk contains 200 milliliters. So David drank about twenty packets of milk.

Many of his colleagues looked at him with their eyes widened. They had no idea that David had such a huge appetite.

Moreover, David was only barely full. Satisfied, he returned to the office.

“Looks like Chen’s potion is really working... I’ll ask him about it later.”
