Demons Beside You - Chapter 341

Chapter 341: Dead People Are Covered With White Sheets

"Chen, how come you're here?" Faur asked.

"I came to see the patient in the vegetative state," Chen Zhao said.

"Let me bring you there."

Wate Leeders was still lying in bed, his cheekbones visible. After all, he had been living on nutrient injections and had not been exercising. He had lost almost all of his body functions.

Even if he could wake up, he would need a long period of rehabilitation.

His daughter, Suma Leeders, was not present. Chen Zhao heard that Suma had been working for more than 14 hours a day to pay for her father's hospitalization and treatment.

"This human's soul is damaged," Samuel said. "If you can't restore his soul, he'll sleep forever."

Chen Zhao was surprised. "Damaged soul?"

"That's right. There are traces of magic where his soul is damaged. It's probably caused by a spell."

Spell? Was it Blackie?

Blackie might have damaged Wate's soul while practicing sorcery on him. This could explain why Blackie had asked Chen Zhao to treat Wate.

"Do you know Blackie?"

"You mean the Soulbringer at home?"

"Yes. What will happen when a Soulbringer harms a human?"

"If a Soulbringer kills a living soul, the Soulbringer will lose the number of lives that is equal to the amount he has taken away. A Soulbringer typically lives for no more than 500 years, so normally they will never harm a life on purpose."

Chen Zhao gave it some thought and asked, "What if Blackie caused this? Will Blackie receive any punishment?"

"No, at least not before the man dies."

"Damaged soul. Is there a way to heal him?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Heal his soul."

"How?"

"Use soul fragments and then cast Soul Heal, but you can't restore his lost memories."

"Teach me Soul Heal."

"I don't know it myself."

"What? You're a demon king. Why don't you know it?"

"Why would I know such an inferior spell? Do you think I even have a target to cast the spell on? I only kill."

"Then what's your use here?"

"I don't know it, but my subordinates do," Samuel said.

"Fine, at least you're slightly useful," Chen Zhao said, twitching his mouth. "Summon me to Hell, for I need to learn the spell."

"I want ten chicken drumsticks and ten pots of catnip."

"Deal, when will you summon me?"

"My true form in Hell doesn't even have a token from you. Can't summon you yet."

"What can I give you as a token?"

"Just something that you use frequently. Let me bring it back to Hell."

"I'll find one when I get home," Chen Zhao said.

Chen Zhao left the ward. Faur was waiting for him outside.
