Demons Beside You Chapter 675

By now, the water on the second floor was already past one's knees.

Chen Zhao still didn't figure out who these four people were.

But from their conversations, he figured out their relations.h.i.+ps.

The man in his thirties with an unshaven face was the leader. His name was Warrencom.

The other two men and one woman were respectively Hawkinson, Hatcher, and Youna.

“Hey, Asian.” Warrencom looked at Chen Zhao. “You really not running?”

“Can you please enlighten me where I can run to?” Chen Zhao asked helplessly.

“Oh yeah, there's nowhere to run to.”

“But this place might get really dangerous later.”

“It's okay,” Chen Zhao said. “I'm not a good swimmer. I need to eat and drink my fill so I have the strength to swim.”

Youna studied him. “Didn't your swim teacher tell you that you can't drink before swimming?”

“Don't you know? My swimming pool is always filled with beer. I swim in beer every day.”

You didn't have to pay to bullsh*t, so Chen Zhao would say whatever he wanted.

“The dangers won't only be this downpour,” Warrencom said.

“By the way, do you work for the government?” Chen Zhao asked curiously.

To be honest, he couldn't figure out the background of these four people.

They were dressed like soldiers, but they seemed to know what would happen next.

Some of their equipment seemed like magic tools too.

Take the Star Compa.s.s that they mentioned for example. Wasn't that the compa.s.s that Chinese people used to check the fengshui?

“We're private forces,” Warrencom said.

Why isn't it here yet? Chen Zhao thought.

Didn't that thing attack him earlier? How come it wasn't coming again?

He didn't have anything to talk to with these four people.

Sitting in the water wasn't comfortable either. Ugh, let's go sit on the roof.

Chen Zhao climbed onto the roof, but it was even worse.

The rain poured down and the wind blew crazily.

As expected, coming to New York for vacation was a complete mistake.

Chen Zhao was extremely bored. He held onto the key.

Perhaps the rain could help clear his mind.

Indeed, he thought of a solution.

I'll try my blood. Maybe it's like those story plots where it only responds to blood.

He dripped a drop of blood onto the key but…it was useless.

As expected, he'd thought too much.

Could it be edible?

Chen Zhao stuck his tongue out and licked it.

No reaction? He put it in his mouth and chewed.

Boom!

Thunder and lightning struck close to him.

He had a fright.

Cough, cough—

And he swallowed the key.

Oh, no. The rain really messed up his brain.

What did he even do?

Why did he do something that only idiots did?

He wanted to spit out the key, but it was already in his stomach.

F*ck. How did he do something so stupid?

Would the key get eaten away by his stomach acid?

Or would it last until he went to a hospital and did surgery on himself?

He wasn't really sure what the key was for, but it was definitely important.

Oh, drink alcohol. Drink more alcohol.

And vomit it out.

Chen Zhao took out a lot of alcohol and started pouring it into his mouth.

This was just regular alcohol.

If it was Daydream, then he'd probably be dead before he could even throw up.

Right then, the four people climbed up too.

“Wow, you have so many drinks up here.”

The four didn't act mannered and came over to share with Chen Zhao.

“Where did you hide it?”

“Yeah, where did you get all this alcohol?”

“Your hands were empty when you climbed up here.”

“Did you hide it on the roof?”

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. “It floated over and I just fished it out.”

“Ah, I see.”

Chen Zhao studied the four. “Are you guys going to fight someone? Is it really okay to drink so much?”

“Totally fine,” Warrencom said. “You know, when I was little, my mom put beer inside my milk bottle.”

“We use liquor to water our fields,” Hawkinson said.

Each of them was completely shameless when bragging.

All of them had great appet.i.tes, including Youna.

They all finished a can of beer in one breath, crumpled up the can, and tossed it into the water.

After drinking a dozen cans, Chen Zhao didn't feel like throwing up, but he got a different feeling.

He glanced at Youna. “Lady, please look away.”

“I think I need it too,” Warrencom said, getting up.

The four men stood in a row and p.i.s.sed down the roof.

Youna didn't get shy at all. She probably spent too much time with guys.

“Oh…” The four men shook and felt much better.

Suddenly, a beam of water suddenly exploded before them.

Warrencom, Hawkinson, and Hatcher reacted lightning fast. A fancy laser s.h.i.+eld rose up before them immediately.

Chen Zhao also reacted, but he had nothing to s.h.i.+eld with other than his hands.

The water pillar was very strong. It hit Chen Zhao square in the chest.

He was forced more than 20 meters into the air and landed on the roof with a plop.

The roof was smashed through and he fell into the water inside the house.

He didn't really get injured from the crash.

But it still hurt to fall from more than 20 meters above.

He felt something break inside him when the water hit him.

The key? Did it just break inside his stomach?

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.

It was like something was brewing inside him.

On the roof, Warrencom and the others had uncomfortable expressions.

Chen Zhao wasn't their friend, but they were at least drinking buddies.

No one thought the attack would be so sudden.

They didn't even have a chance to help and Chen Zhao was already killed.

Through the rain, they saw a figure walk on the water. It was a woman.

Hair frazzled, she stared at the four people on the roof.

Cindy! She was here.

Warrencom took out a device and scanned Cindy.

“Ident.i.ty confirmed. Original name, Cindy. Nineteen years old, Fallen. The target is extremely dangerous and her magic has mutated. May be water elemental.”

“There's water everywhere,” Youna said. “If we have to fight a water witch, it'll be so problematic.”

“Change the bullets to penetration bombs,” Warrencom said.

The four changed their bullets and aimed at Cindy.

“Fire!” Red dots shot out of their weapons.

When the red dots landed on the water, waves sprayed immediately.

But then Cindy suddenly sank into the water.

All of the bullets missed the target.

The next moment, a huge wave lifted over the sea.

The four widened their eyes, watching the overwhelming wave crash down at them.

“F*ck, how can we even fight?”
