Chapter 111: Changes To The Gate Of Hell

In the end, Chen Zhao still managed to change the topic completely.

Nevertheless, Fali was still quite angry. She sat down on the sofa in frustration and started drinking alone.

After showering, Chen Zhao casually sat down beside Fali.

“This beer is expensive and horrible. Why would you buy this brand?”

“I like it. If you don’t like it, don’t ask me to buy beer next time.”

“Ah!” Chen Zhao suddenly screamed.

Blackie had made an abrupt entrance from the wall. Although it was not the first time he appeared like this, Chen Zhao was still unable to get used to it.

“What? You saw a ghost? Wait… Is there really something?”

“Nothing. It’s none of your business.” Chen Zhao waved his hand, after which he began communicating with Blackie using his mind. “Blackie, can you please appear in a normal way?”

“It’s very normal to me.”

“I mean the human definition of normal.”

“Now is not the time for this. I just came back from hunting and passed by that Gate of Hell. I realized that it’s somewhat unusual.”

Chen Zhao recalled that Blackie had indeed told him there was a Gate of Hell in the mountain beside the town.

He had originally intended to go and take a look with Blackie when he was free. However, he had been busy all this while and almost forgot about it entirely.

“What’s with the Gate of Hell?”

“I feel someone’s activating it.”

“How? Can the gate still be used?”

“I don’t know. I also thought that it’s already deserted, but the huge catfish you caught in the lake last time had clearly been affected by Hell. And now the gate feels weird too. So I think perhaps it can still be used.”

“Could it be a madman planning to summon a demon army and destroy the world?”

“No way. That Gate of Hell can’t even completely summon demons like Beelzebub. It effect is somewhat similar to the demonic ritual implements you have. It’s almost impossible to destroy the world with that.”

“Why is the Gate of Hell even there if it can only summon one or two inferior demons? I thought it can summon large demon kings or something.”

“That Gate of Hell was built by humans. As a human, you should know this better.”

Chen Zhao stood up. “Fali, I need to go out for a while.”

“Where are you going? You going to exorcize evil spirits? Or did some mysterious event happen somewhere?”

“Stop imagining things. I’m taking my dogs for a walk.”

“Walking your dogs?” Fali squinted and stared at Chen Zhao. “I’m going with you. I haven’t had a stroll with Walter for quite long as well.”

“I don’t think so. It’s not safe at night.”

“So you’re going to leave me in this haunted house? I’ve no idea how many evil spirits there are in this house, and there’s also a terrifying monster sealed beneath the house. I feel that the roads are much safer than here.”

“How about I leave Walter here to accompany you?”

“Alright then.”

Chen Zhao heaved a long sign. It would be really inconvenient for him to visit the Gate of Hell if Fali followed him.

However, shortly after Chen Zhao left home, Blackie said, “Your housemate is behind you.”

“What?” Chen Zhao turned his head around and did not discover anything. The sky was already dark and the sides of the road were filled with grass. “Fali, come here, I already saw you.”

There was no movement. Chen Zhao called again, “Walter, come out.”

Woof!

Walter charged towards Chen Zhao, dragging Fali along.

“Traitor! You traitor!” Fali slapped Walter’s head in anger.

“Go home.”

“No.”

“If you insist on not going back, I’ll use magic and let you stand here alone for the whole night.”

“Do you believe I’ll call the police now and say that you’ve molested me?”

“As you wish.” Chen Zhao was not scared at all.

Not every accusation of molestation would be put on record.

After all, no one could win a case with just words and no evidence.

“What are you going… Are you going to cast another spell on me?”

Chen Zhao only raised his hand and Fali immediately took a few steps back. Then, she took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket. “Luckily I’m prepared.”

“Please, it’s already dark. Are you really planning to become blind with your sunglasses?”

“You promise you won’t cast a spell on me?”

“Do you think I’ll cast a spell on you now and then carry you home?”

“I don’t care. I’m going wherever you’re going.”

“Forget it. I’m not going anymore. Let’s go home.” Chen Zhao gave up. Unable to lose Fali, he could only go back.

He planned to go to the Gate of Hell in the morning when Fali was working.

“Not going anymore? How can you do that?”

“Why not?”

Chen Zhao already started walking back. “Are you coming or not? If not, you can wander around yourself. I’m going home.”

“Aren’t you going to exorcize evil spirits? If you don’t go, will people die?”

“If anyone dies, it’s all your fault. You keep following me and I can’t go.”

Fali started hesitating. However, when she lifted her head and saw Chen Zhao’s relaxed face, she suddenly realized something.

“You’re lying to me?”

Fali knew that if there was really an urgent matter, Chen Zhao would surely not stand here and argue with her.

Although she had only stayed with Chen Zhao for a short while, she had still managed to find out about his character.

Chen Zhao was not the kind of person who could sit back and watch a disaster happen.

He could not remain idle if he knew that a tragedy was imminent.

She had only stayed with Chen Zhao for a few days, but their neighbors Bant and Mary had been giving him stuff everyday. Most of the time, she had helped Chen Zhao to take their gifts.

She knew that it was because of the winery fire ten days ago, where Chen Zhao and Walter had charged into the burning building and saved nine lives.

One of them was the son of Bant and Mary. Therefore, they were both extremely grateful towards Chen Zhao.

All in all, Fali managed to guess that the matter Chen Zhao was originally going to settle was either not serious or not urgent.

Just then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang.

“Hi.”

“Chen, it’s me, Morgery… Err… I need you.”

“F**k, what do you mean by you need me?”

“I’m in my car, right at your door. Still the same price; ten thousand dollars.”

“Huh, give me ten minutes. I’m not at home. Going back now.”

“Okay. Be quick.”

“What is it? Did something happen?”

“Nope. It’s just work.”

“Work?”

“Of course it’s my patient. What else do you think it is?”

Chen Zhao and Fali walked back to their house and saw a car parked before the door.

Chen Zhao recognized it as Morgery’s car. Turning his head, he said to Fali, “You should go back.”

“Are you bringing Walter away again?”

“You can keep Walter. Oh yeah, go and help me take my toolbox out,” Chen Zhao said. Although he had purchased the spatial ring from Raz, he would certainly not put his toolbox in the ring. After all, what would his patient think if he were to suddenly pull out a scalpel out of nowhere?
