Demons Beside You

Chapter 38: Beelzebub Killed Someone

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Beelzebub had already appeared behind Phil. Chen Zhao’s expression was cold.

This was his first time facing a cruel criminal like this. The criminal had brutally murdered three innocent people in the blink of an eye.

Compared to Chen Zhao, who was a doctor, he was the complete opposite type of person.

As a doctor, Chen Zhao had always been trying his hardest to save his patients. But now, he felt like not everyone deserved to be saved. Not everyone deserved his full efforts.

“Kill him!”

Zula stared at Chen Zhao in confusion. Kill whom?

Beelzebub had already pounced on Phil’s back. A pained cry sounded. Chen Zhao hurriedly tackled Zula onto the ground. In immense pain, Phil was firing randomly.

Beelzebub was a true demon. Once he received the command that unleashed his instincts, he would show his most violent side. He tore off a chunk of flesh and then bit down on Phil’s neck.

Crack.

Phil died. This was a cruel and fatal move.

Phil’s evil life had come to an end, but his pain had just started. A Grim Reaper was watching predatorily from the side.

“Blackie, I hope he goes through more torture.”

“I’ll be glad to help.”

Chen Zhao didn’t have time to chat with Blackie. He quickly moved up to check on the wounded…or rather, the dead.

The nurse seemed to still be alive. However, she’d been shot in the chest and the bullet might have hit her artery, so her bleeding wouldn’t stop.

Even if she was given emergency treatment, she might not be saved. Chen Zhao had no choice but to use a demonic crystal.

Next was the nurse’s aide. He was also heavily wounded and Chen Zhao fed him a demonic crystal too.

Then there was the policeman. His soul was already standing there. It seemed that he’d died.

Thinking for a bit, Chen Zhao still tried feeding him a demonic crystal. “Go back to your body. You shouldn’t die yet.”

He wasn’t sure if this would work. Demonic crystals could save people, but it couldn’t bring people back to life.

When Chen Zhao entered the patient’s room, he saw two other victims: a policeman and a doctor.

They’d both been shot, but they surprisingly hadn’t died yet. Chen Zhao used demonic crystals again.

As long as it was within his abilities and they weren’t cruel people like the criminal, Chen Zhao didn’t mind doing everything to save someone.

When Chen Zhao walked out of the room, a gun was suddenly pointed at him.

“Don’t move… Raise your hands!”

“Sir, he’s not the criminal.” Faur had come to explain. “The criminal’s on the ground. I think his dog killed him. We must treat the wounded now. Please don’t get in the way.”

The group of police officers looked at Phil, lying in a puddle of blood. Beside him was Beelzebub with a bloody mouth.

“That’s…his dog? That bastard…He was killed by that tiny dog?”

“Yes.”

“Sir, can you explain this?”

“My dog is kind of aggressive. When he saw that man pointing a gun to my head, my dog attacked him from behind.”

Kind of aggressive? The officers were all confused. They’d seen many aggressive dogs, but they’d all been large dogs.

Beelzebub was just a small Shar Pei. How aggressive could Shar Peis be? And to the point of killing someone?

“Chen, no need to say all that to them. If needed, I’ll have my lawyer talk for you. Beelzebub is a hero. He saved us and the entire hospital.”

The officers didn’t want to make it hard for Chen Zhao either. They just found it incredible that this Shar Pei that couldn’t even reach their knees had actually killed that evil criminal.

“Sir, the hospital is understaffed. Can you help us treat the victims?”

“I don’t have a license. I’m afraid these officers will just toss me into jail.”

The officer that had pointed a gun at Chen Zhao felt awkward. “I’m sorry, sir. It was my fault earlier. Let me apologize.”

“Can you give me some clothes?”

If he participated in the emergency treatment, he needed a disinfected doctor’s coat. Chen Zhao’s clothes obviously weren’t suitable for the surgery room. Some nurses quickly brought a coat over.

“Zula…”

“Go, Chen. Go save everyone who deserves it. May God be with you.”

Chen Zhao was responsible for saving the officer whose soul had already come out. It finished quickly.

As someone who was shot, the officer’s wounds were very grave, but the surgery was simple. He was just still in danger.

Chen Zhao wasn’t needed for the other victims. There were other doctors who were performing emergency treatment.

When Chen Zhao walked out of the surgery room, he received good news. The other victims were all saved.

“Chen, how many times have we met because of work?” Melson walked over to Chen Zhao. He and the previous officers were from the same station but different departments.

Chen Zhao felt helpless. “You won’t do anything to my dog, right?”

“No way. It’s a hero, and a hero should be treated like one.”

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over. His hair was combed carefully and he looked like someone important.

“You’re Chen?”

“Yes, and you?”

“I’m the deputy chief of LA’s sub-bureau. You can call me Grant.”

“Mr. Grant, how can I help you?”

“No, you and your dog saved two of my men. I’m coming to tell you that you won’t run into any trouble on these streets.”

Grant had clearly learned of Chen Zhao’s job from Melson and he’d come to express his stance.

“Thanks.”

The hospital shooting caused a huge commotion. The hospital was surrounded by the media, but the police had sealed it off with security lines.

This was also a mistake on the police’s side. After all, Phil was a captured criminal, but because of the police’s mishap, he got a gun and caused this shooting.

Thankfully, no one had died, so the police could push the scandal as low as possible.

What Grant had just told Chen Zhao was also to ensure that Chen Zhao wouldn’t blab about this scandal.

Unfortunately, Daniel’s legs couldn’t be saved. His muscles had been damaged too heavily and could barely be preserved.

Chen Zhao was helpless too. He wasn’t all-powerful. He couldn’t regrow the leg that had been sliced off biologically.

Zula was heartbroken while Daniel looked lifeless in bed.

Chen Zhao stayed in the hospital and didn’t leave until the next day.
