The next day
“Chen, I think I should go open a restaurant.”
“Why? Isn’t the motel good? At least the inco is steady and there aren’t many risks.”
“I must make nice food if there’s a Chinese freeloader here every day.”
Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. “That’s your illusion. I co get free food from you because it’s free.”
“You should at least give so money.”
“I think paying is an insult to our friendship, so I refuse.”
“I don’t mind you insulting .”
“But I mind. I get this free food with my skills. Why should I pay?”
“You know you’re making Chinese people lose face? You know how much Chinese people spent in Arica last year? More than three billion dollars! But you’re not even willing to pay one dollar.”
“I think that our relationship shouldn’t have conflicts because of one dollar.”
“With our relationship, you shouldn’t be so petty about one dollar.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about one dollar. Are you going to pay for that woman’s room last night?”
“I’m not even willing to pay one dollar and you think I’ll pay ten?”
“Fine... You didn’t have sex with her last night, right?”
“No. She’s not single right now.”
“Smart.” Vincent was satisfied with Chen Zhao’s reply.
At that ti, Chris ca down. She looked very downspirited. It seed that she didn’t have a good night’s sleep.
“Good morning, Chris. Co eat breakfast. My treat.”
Ethan was speechless.
“Thanks...” Chris sat beside Chen Zhao as if nothing had happened last night.
That was the truth. Nothing had happened.
The two made distracted small talk. After breakfast, Chris stood up. “Chen, I should go now.”
“I’ll drive you.”
“No need. I just need to change and then go to work.”
“Okay then. Be careful on the road.”
Studying Chris’ back, Ethan said, “That woman is top quality. If I can have sex with her, I’ll probably squeeze everything out of her.”
“Get rid of your dirty thoughts.”
“So you’re not thinking anything?”
“I’m leaving.”
“To where?”
“Ho.”
After getting ho, Chen Zhao started lazing on the sofa again. He’d played around for two whole days. It was actually more tiring than work.
In China, Chen Zhao had never had such a ssy private life.
“Blackie, you here?”
Blackie’s head erged from the wall. He would occasionally follow Chen Zhao, but if he sensed anything, he would leave and go “hunt.”
“Blackie, I have a question. Are there evil spirits in the world?”
“Yes. There were many in this house before.”
“Are there any that affect a person’s mind?”
“Yes. An evil spirit is produced by negative emotions after a person dies and the soul disperses. Most evil spirits can affect human emotions.”
“I have a friend. You saw her two days ago. It’s Chris from the dress shop. She seems to have run into trouble...”
Chen Zhao recounted Chris’ situation and Blackie thought for a while. “It seems to be a Reflection Demon, not a dead spirit.”
“Reflection Demon? Beelzebub, didn’t you that there are no demons in this world, other than you?”
Beelzebub was eating dog food. Yes, a demon was eating dog food.
“I’m not wrong. There aren’t any demons in this world other than us. That Reflection Demon hasn’t actually appeared on this world. He used a mirror to reflect his image here. He didn’t co.”
“So that ans that Chris and I only saw the reflection?”
“No, what you two saw weren’t the sa thing at all. You saw the Reflection Demon’s true form, while that female human is the one that saw the reflection.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Humans aren’t able to see Reflection Demons directly. They have to look through a mirror. You’re clearly not a normal human though, so what you saw was most likely the true form.”
“Do you have any solutions?”
“Find the Reflection Demon’s dium and destroy it. Then it won’t be able to affect regular people anymore.” After a pause, Beelzebub added, “But I’m warning you. It’s already crowded here. I don’t want another demon.”
Beelzebub was obviously unwilling to have another demon to compete with for demonic crystals. He had a sense of crisis, because he realized that his ability wasn’t very useful to Chen Zhao. Even Raymond was more useful.
As Chen Zhao’s first demon subordinate, he didn’t want to be pushed to the side.
Chen Zhao thought for a mont. Chris had said that her boyfriend Nance often talks to a mirror.
That mirror was probably the dium, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhao picked up his phone to call Chris.
“Hey, Chris.”
“Chen, is sothing wrong?” Chris’ spirits were low.
“I talked to my friend about you. I want to ask you when your boyfriend started acting weirdly.”
“Chen, I’ve thought about it. I was probably overthinking before, but I’ve broken up with him now. We won’t have anything to do with each other in the future. I don’t want to talk about him either.”
“Uh...okay.”
It seed that Chen Zhao was being a busy body. He felt wronged. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m great.”
“Okay, that’s good. Co get coffee when you’re free.”
“Okay. I’m busy. Goodbye.”
“Bye.”
Since Chris said she didn’t need help, Chen Zhao didn’t intend to force himself into her business either.
He brought all his demons into Blackie’s space crevice. When the three Hellhounds saw Chen Zhao and his friends, they were all ecstatic.
As always, Chen Zhao went to the research lab, studying the notes and demonic dicine that the last Grim Reaper had left behind.
Whether it was Chinese, Western, or demonic dicine, they all had similarities between each other.
Demonic dicine was mostly about treating demons. Demons could get sick and hurt too. It was obviously difficult to treat them with human dicine. However, the research about demonic illnesses wasn’t very complete either.
Chen Zhao had another idea. If he combined Chinese and Western dicine with demonic dicine, would it be more effective?
This was only an idea now. He still had to experint.
He obviously couldn’t do it in the human world, unless he dissected Beelzebub and the others. This made Chen Zhao want to visit Hell again.
He walked out of the lab and looked at the epts who were playing with the three Hellhounds.
“Beelzebub, co here...”
