Demons Beside You - Chapter 666

Chapter 666: Have You Watched Alien?

Dirk stood before the thermal camera. It was different from a night vision device.

A night vision device could not see through buildings and obstacles, while a thermal camera could see through some of them.

It could even scan through most metals.

It would allow them to know not only the distribution and movement of their enemies, but also of their own people at a glance.

Just then, Linsand managed to unlock the door.

Suddenly, however, Dirk noticed the last person in their team disappeared.

His thermal image was gone without warning.

“Captain, Baker has disappeared. Repeat, Baker has disappeared.”

“What?” Everyone was filled with disbelief.

They had not felt anything.

They did not even hear a thing, but one of them had vanished?

“Who saw Baker?”

“No, wasn’t looking at him.”

“Dirk, did you not see him? Haven’t you been looking at the thermal camera?”

“His image disappeared suddenly. I have no idea how.”

Linsand vaguely felt something was wrong. “What’s happening in the house?”

“Dunno, the woman on the second floor is still lying in bed.”

“How about the man?”

“Can’t locate him.”

Linsand felt somewhat anxious. “Focus, everyone. Maybe they know we’re here.”

Splash—

Suddenly, everyone heard a muffled sound at the back of the team.

They turned around but there was nothing.

“What happened? What was that?”

“Myles is missing.”

“Captain, Myles’ image is gone too.”

“What?”

Everyone was creeped out. What was happening?

There was a sound, and then someone was gone?

They could accept it if there was an ambush behind and their enemies had dragged their people away.

But they did not see anything, except their disappearing teammates.

How could they accept this?

Suddenly, under everyone’s stares, one of them lowered without warning, as if something was pulling him into the ground.

“Hel…” The next instant, the person disappeared into the ground.

“Run!” Linsand was horrified.

It was terrifying. The person had vanished before their very eyes.

Suddenly, everyone felt themselves sinking as if they were in a swamp.

One of them lost his footing and fell on the ground. He sank even faster, disappearing very quickly.

Just then, a figure walked toward them.

“Captain, there’s someone before you.”

Linsand’s face darkened. The person was already before them. Why would they need Dirk’s reminder?

“Shh, don’t speak and disturb my girlfriend. Don’t shout.” Chen Zhao squatted down before them.

By then, Linsand and the rest already had half of their bodies submerged.

Everyone was terrified. Humans always feared the unknown.

The Dark Serum below them began to rush into their mouths.

Except for Linsand. He did not continue to sink either.

“Are you their captain?”

After thinking, Linsand nodded, “What do you want?”

“Were you sent here by Jonsonk?”

Linsand nodded again, “Yes.”

“What did he ask you to do?”

Linsand told Chen Zhao absolutely everything.

Chen Zhao was clearly not an ordinary person.

The only thing that might save Linsand now was the truth.

“Can you bring me to him?”

Without hesitation, Linsand nodded, “Yes.”

Just then, the liquid began to pour into his mouth.

“Ah…” Linsand struggled but to no avail.

Nevertheless, after the liquid entered his body, he did not feel anything unusual.

“You don’t feel anything, right?” Chen Zhao smiled gently.

But Linsand trembled in fright.

Suddenly, he felt an unbearable wave of pain in his stomach.

It was as though something was running around in his belly.

“Have you watched the Alien franchise?” Chen Zhao grinned.

Linsand nodded slightly, his forehead covered in a cold sweat.

“When I need you to die, it will break out of your body like an Alien.”

Chen Zhao pulled Linsand out of the Dark Serum. He curled up on the ground and shivered, unable to stand up.

Chen Zhao turned and looked at where Dirk had been hiding. Dirk could feel his heart skip a beat.

He was about to run when he felt a hot wave at the back of his head.

When he turned around, all he saw was a bloody mouth.

“Are you going to lie here forever?” Chen Zhao glanced at Linsand who was still on the ground.

Linsand stood up with much difficulty. Fear was the easiest way to destroy someone.

Even Linsand, an experienced soldier, could not escape being dominated by fear.

“Bring me to Mr. Jonsonk.”

Chen Zhao got into Linsand’s car. Linsand felt like he had almost forgotten how to drive.

“What movies do you like?”

“Huh?”

“My favorite ones are the Alien franchise, Deep Rising…”

“…”

“Also the Saw franchise, and It. Do you like them?” Chen Zhao continued.

Linsand turned to look at Chen Zhao. “What exactly are you?”

“Human. Look, it’s flesh.”

The car arrived outside Jonsonk’s manor.

The guard glanced into the car. “Who is he?”

“My team member,” Linsand said.

Perhaps because it was too dark, the guard could not see Linsand’s pale face.

“Go in.”

After Linsand drove the car in, the guard took out his walkie-talkie.

“Boss, Linsand is here. He brought the Asian here too, but the Asian looks uninjured. Linsand might have betrayed you.”

When Chen Zhao and Linsand alighted, they were welcomed by a few gunmen and their pistols.

Just then, Jonsonk walked out and looked at the two.

“Linsand, can you explain what’s this?” Jonsonk looked at Linsand.

“I… I was forced…” Linsand pushed himself to say it.

“Did I force you? Do I look like I’ve forced you?” Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.

“Forget it, I don’t care what happened.” Jonsonk waved his hand. “Asian, I’m very surprised that you’ve come here yourself. Do you think that I don’t dare to kill you?”

“Don’t you have any sense of humor? How uncreative. Since I’m here, shouldn’t you first torture me, and then ask me if I regret not accepting the trade back then? And finally, in my regret and despair, shoot me in the head?”
