Chapter 132: dium
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Everyone squeezed into Fali’s car and drove to Chen Zhao’s house.
“Drink this. You’re fine.” Chen Zhao handed a cup of calming tea to Chris.
“Thanks.” Chris accepted the cup.
“Chris, after I sent you back, I went to find you again the next day, but you weren’t there already. I asked David to help find you. Where were you these days?”
“The church,” Chris replied.
“Chen, what was that thing?” Right now, Sienna was most concerned about Dagon Biros. She’d never felt so powerless and clueless before.
“Demon,” Chen Zhao replied simply. “More specifically, it’s a Reflection Demon.”
“Where’s Nance right now?” Chris asked further. “Is he controlled by that demon?”
“Yes.” Blackie had told him. Chen Zhao continued, “The Reflection Demon uses a dium to project into the human world. What we saw earlier wasn’t his true form. The demon that looks like a mountain goat is actually controlled by the Reflection Demon. Chris’ ex is the sa. The Reflection Demon can possess humans to control their souls, and then use that soul to possess past friends and family. He’ll keep receiving souls as long as the dium remains.”
“By dium, do you an the mirror?”
“Yes, but not the mirror you saw earlier. The mirror that Chris and her ex got is actually the dium’s reflection. That’s why it can never be destroyed.” Chen Zhao was only repeating Blackie’s explanation. “The dium only exists in the reflection’s world, which is where we’d entered. You can only truly destroy the dium there.”
“So you’re saying that the demon personally destroyed the dium? If he didn’t let us go... If you went in, then we’d be powerless against him?”
Chen Zhao shook his head. “The Reflection Demon isn’t as strong as you think. He was just using his own abilities to make the reflection the sa as the outside world. He could make copies of you all with the sa compatibility.”
“What’s compatibility?”
“For example, if he copies sothing, his copy can’t go against what the original does. Another example, if a loving couple enters the reflection world, he can use the copied wife to kill the actual wife, but the copied wife to kill the actual husband or the copied husband to kill the wife. This is what compatibility is. If he goes against this law, then his abilities will beco ineffective.”
Sienna understood imdiately why the copy would recover its original appearance. He didn’t know that Yiberg was her father. No matter how their relationship was, they were still family. Even the copy wouldn’t be willing to hurt his daughter. This was the so-called compatibility.
“Earlier, you said that the black mountain goat demon Dagon Biros isn’t the true Reflection Demon. Then, is the Reflection Demon still alive?”
After this paranormal event, Chris was left with trauma. She was afraid that the Reflection Demon would co back for revenge.
“He’s still alive, but he isn’t in the human world. His true form can’t enter the human world and his dium has been destroyed. As long as no one makes another dium, he’ll never be able to affect the human world, let alone take revenge on you.”
“Since the dium existed, then soone must have created it, right? What if soone else makes one?”
“That dium has a history of more than a century. Its creator is long dead. You don’t have to worry. Plus, if the Reflection Demon wants revenge, it’ll co for first.”
Hearing Chen Zhao’s reply, Chris was finally relieved.
“Then, what about them?” Sienna pointed at the playing animals. “What exactly are Beelzebub and the others?”
“My pets. Isn’t it obvious?”
“Pets? Do you think I’m blind?”
“Well, they’re my pets right now.”
“Then where did you learn your magic? Is it so oriental magic?”
“Chinese people call magic ‘fashu’ right?” David comnted. “Beelzebub must be divine beasts. I did my research.”
“Research? You?”
“Of course. Chen and I are friends. I have to understand Chen.”
“Is oriental magic really this powerful?”
Sienna had been dealt a blow. After all, she’d been helped by Chen Zhao twice. In fact, she could say that she’d been saved twice. Each ti had been more dangerous than the last, but Chen Zhao had taken care of them easily.
“Chen, where’s the gold? Are you going to take it for yourself?” Sienna stared at Chen Zhao with shining eyes.
Chen Zhao’s expression was dark. “The gold was part of the dium. It was destroyed along with the dium.”
“Hey! That gold is worth more than $10,000! How could you do that?”
“Sienna, it’s okay,” David comforted. “That gold was cursed.”
“If you give the gold, I won’t care if it’s cursed.”
Sienna was sad, but Chen Zhao was even more pained. The gold had been eaten by the mouth on his hand. More than 200 grams of gold was worth at least $10,000.
Chen Zhao still wasn’t sure what the mouth was used for. The only thing he was sure about was that Beelzebub Zofee had given it to him.
“Chen, I can go find you if I run into these things again, right?” Chris looked at him with teary eyes.
“If you need a doctor, I’m happy to help. But if you need to exorcise evil spirits or demons, please ask Sienna. I’m an amateur.”
Knock, knock—
Knocks sounded at that ti. Everyone exchanged glances. It was already two in the morning. Who would co?
After opening the door, they realized it was Leonardo.
“Leon, how co you’re here?”
“I was patrolling and saw that your light is still on, so I ca to look.”
“Co in.” Chen Zhao moved aside. “Do you usually patrol by yourself? Where’s your partner?”
“My previous partner quit and they haven’t assigned a new one. I hope it’ll be a beauty.”
When Leonardo entered the living room and saw everyone, he gaped.
“Let introduce everyone. David, he’s a cop too. This is Leonardo. He’s in charge of Mountain Town’s security.”
“Hey, co sit down. You’re Chen’s friend too?” David tossed Leonardo a can of beer.
