Demons Beside You

Chapter 189: I Have Eyes On My Right Arm

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Noticing Chen Zhao’s anxiety, Raymond quickly comforted, “Human, relax. Gluttony subordinates can digest anything. They’re the only demons that won’t be infested.”

Hearing Raymond’s words, Chen Zhao calmed down at once. Can I digest it?

Great...

“Don’t eat me... Don’t eat me...” the parasite screamed in horror.

“I’m afraid begging now is too late already.”

The parasite had also been affected by Raymond’s venom, so its struggle was very weak.

Its tentacles attached onto Chen Zhao’s arm like an octopus, but it could not hurt Chen Zhao at all.

Parasites needed a host precisely because they could not survive in the outside world by themselves.

It was an unbreakable law of nature, whether it was in the human world or in Hell.

The Mouth of Glutton had already swallowed half of the parasite’s body. Just then, the tentacles attached to Leos’ organs and flesh also became inactive.

Chen Zhao pulled his hand and the entire parasite was drawn out of Leos’ abdomen.

The parasite struggled wildly, dragging a few of Leos’ eyeballs out at the same time.

The eyeballs were attached to the end of the tentacles. As the Mouth of Glutton finally devoured the parasite, it swallowed the eyeballs too.

However, the next moment, a few eyes opened on Chen Zhao’s arm, one after another. There were five eyes on his arm and one on the back of his hand, making a total of six.

What the actual f**k? Am I infested?!

Chen Zhao wanted to cry but had no tears.

It seemed like he would have to perform surgery to his own arm later.

The Mouth of Glutton was really too greedy and ate everything.

Anyway, it was not the time to think about all this. Chen Zhao still had to stitch Leos’ abdomen.

After the operation, Chen Zhao stared at Raymond with much resentment. “Didn’t you just say that Gluttony subordinates can’t be infested? Look at the eyes on my arm. I’ve already been infested by that parasite!”

“Do you feel anything different?”

“Huh? I don’t think so.”

“So stop scaring yourself. Gluttony subordinates have very powerful digestive systems. Those fat pigs will many a time devour other demons and obtain their abilities. Clearly, the Mouth of Glutton on your arm has eaten the parasite and obtained the eyes.”

“So I’m fine?”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Puff... I almost had a heart attack.”

Chen Zhao heaved a long sigh of relief. He tried to control the eyes, but they did not open, or rather he could not open them.

Chen Zhao felt annoyed again. How are they useful if I can’t even f**king control them?

When the Mouth of Glutton disappeared, so did the eyes.

Chen Zhao decided to ask Jessica later how to control the Mouth of Glutton.

Currently, it would appear whenever it wanted to and disappear otherwise, which Chen Zhao really hated.

After the paralytic effect of Raymond’s venom ended, Leos woke up.

Despite having lost a few eyes, Leos was clearly elated. After all, he had over a hundred eyes and losing a few was really no big deal.

He felt that he had fully recovered. The heaviness that had been bothering him for a long time was finally gone.

“Living Lord, thank you for your help. Please, take my gift.” Leos very readily gave Chen Zhao the Pristine Eyeballs that he had prepared.

He took out a bottle filled with some liquid, in which three eyeballs were floating.

Chen Zhao found this journey to Hell pretty rewarding.

The Pristine Eyeballs could be used on anyone, whether it was a demon or a human.

“Human, what do you plan to do to this witch soul?” Raymond asked.

“Do you want her?”

“I need someone to clean this place. It’s hard to meet such a complete soul, you know,” Raymond said.

“Then I’ll leave her here after questioning her.”

...

Winry Gargamel woke up slowly. She really hoped that it was but a dream.

However, her clear awareness told her that Raymond and Leos before her were real.

Chen Zhao’s mocking smile only deepened her hatred.

“Winry Gargamel, I have a few questions for you. Answer them well and I’ll forget about what happened in the human world. Otherwise...” Chen Zhao turned his head and glanced at Raymond and Leos.

Raymond opened his mouth and helped Chen Zhao to intimidate Winry.

While Leos was not as big as Raymond, as he opened all his eyes, Winry realized that she was being stared at by a dense group of eyeballs.

Winry instantly peed her pants, if she could still pee.

“What questions do you want to ask me? Let me go... I’ll tell you everything.”

“Raymond needs a servant. If you answer my questions well, you’ll stay here and help him. If not, I think Raymond won’t mind having you for dinner.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Where’s Trede Pemton? I suppose he’s in Hell too, right?”

“Trede? He’s already been sacrificed to Lord Besta. His soul is gone forever.”

“Is Besta the large octopus that appeared last time?”

“Err... Yes.”

To Winry, Sleeper Besta was the master she had served for her whole life.

Even after she died, she still held this belief.

However, Chen Zhao had easily summoned a few demons and defeated Besta.

Therefore, Chen Zhao was as formidable to Winry as a god. It seemed reasonable that Chen Zhao called Besta an octopus.

“Do you know where Trede hid his properties?”

“Yes. He changed them to gold and hid it under the Mirror Lake waterfall.”

“What about the rest? He also has some other properties in the form of artwork. Do you know where he hid them?”

“Huh? I didn’t even know that he has those.”

“Raymond, do you have a way to make her painful?”

“My corrosive venom can dissolve her soul bit by bit,” Raymond answered.

“I really didn’t know!” Winry almost burst into tears.

It was the first time in her life being so honest, but nobody seemed to believe her.

“Living Lord, I don’t think she’s lying. My Eye of Truth has been staring at her. If she’s lying, I would know.”

“I really don’t know. I only know that Trede exchanged his properties for gold. I didn’t know that he secretly hid some of his properties.”

“Which means you’re useless now, right?” Chen Zhao squinted and stared at Winry.

“Wait... I remember! A few years ago, Trede asked me to create a ward for him. Perhaps he hid the things there.”
