"There won't be any demons coming from the Gates of Hell, right?"
"Impossible. It's not that easy for demons to enter the human world."
"Since the Gates of Hell can summon souls with magic, it can also summon demons, right?"
"That's different. It's not summoning, it's trading. Souls are traded items, but demons can't trade themselves."
"Then why can I summon demons?"
"How would I know? I'm not an omniscient god."
"But … you're the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper is also a god."
"I'm quite happy that humans see me as a Grim Reaper, but why do I feel such deep malice when you say it?"
Walter loved water the most. He had already jumped into the lake.
Beelzebub, Raymond, and Jiffy all liked to play in water too. They weren't as active as Walter, but they still had a lot of fun.
Chen Zhao was also tempted, but he really couldn't make up his mind about such a large sum of money.
"Chen, you're really tempted?" Gerlyn realized that Chen Zhao was really tempted.
"Uh … huh? A little. "
"Do you have that much money?" Gerlyn asked again.
"I recently found a rich man and extorted some money from him."
"You really want to buy this land?"
"I don't know how much it's worth yet. I don't know if it belongs to Mountain Town or private. I also don't know if it's willing to sell. Even if it's for sale, I won't have money to build a house after I buy it."
But this wasn't the main topic today, so Chen Zhao and Gerlyn only chatted for a bit.
Chen Zhao had only just thought about it. On the other hand, Chen Zhao felt that it was far better to buy a piece of land than to keep his money in the bank.
Money in the bank would only slowly depreciate. If he used it to invest in real property, no matter how much the price of the land dropped, the actual value wouldn't decrease.
Chen Zhao had a typical Chinese way of thinking. Chinese people always had a special feeling about land.
In Chen Zhao's mind, only with a piece of land that belonged to him would he have a foundation.
Moreover, Chen Zhao felt that this piece of land was indeed valuable. It wasn't as worthless as Gerlyn said.
Actually, the natural environment was also part of the value.
If this piece of land cost ten million dollars, Chen Zhao definitely wouldn't even think about it.
But if it was only five hundred thousand, Chen Zhao felt that it was doable.
While Beelzebub played in the lake, Chen Zhao and Gerlyn set up a tent by the lake.
Gerlyn was very familiar with this and set up the tent in ten minutes.
At this time, a few young people were playing along the lakeside.
It seemed that these people were all high school students, both male and female. They were all wearing swimming trunks or swimsuits.
The young people also saw Chen Zhao and Gerlyn, so they walked over.
"Hello, I've never seen you before. Are you new here?" The one who spoke was a tall young man. He looked quite handsome, his figure was also very good, and his manner of speaking was very polite.
"You can call me Chen. I live in the famous haunted house in town."
"Chen? I got it. " At this moment, a brown-haired girl behind him shouted, "The winery caught fire yesterday. I heard that an Asian and a dog saved nine people from the fire. You saved Uncle Bernard too, right?"
When the young men heard their companions' words, they all revealed looks of surprise and respect.
"I'm Famar Ollip," the leading young man said.
The other young men also introduced themselves one by one. Famar took a box of beer from his companion. "How about we drink together?"
"Err … Are you adults? My girlfriend is a police officer. "
In America, people who bought cigarettes needed identification. It was a crime to sell cigarettes or alcohol to minors.
Of course, some places were lax, while others were strict.
"Don't be such a killjoy. Come on, Miss Police, let's drink together."
Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly. Gerlyn did not care if these kids were adults or not.
She was from the Major Crimes Division anyway, so she did not care.
The brown-haired girl, Lily, pointed at the dogs playing in the lake. "Is that the biggest German shepherd the dog that saved people in the fire?"
"Yes, his name is Walter. He's a good boy."
"He's really big. I've never seen such a big dog before."
Usually, German shepherds could reach a shoulder height of sixty centimeters and a weight of forty-five kilograms at most.
However, Walter's shoulder height was more than eighty centimeters and he weighed sixty-five kilograms.
This was almost the weight of an adult woman, and it did not seem to be his limit.
Ever since Walter had turned into a hybrid demon, he had been growing. He had slowed down recently, but he had not stopped.
Chen Zhao was not sure how big Walter could grow in the end.
Even two people with a height difference of three centimeters could clearly feel the difference, let alone a dog.
Walter was certainly a very large man, especially when he was with Beelzebub and Carrie, and the contrast was great.
German shepherds were large dogs, but Walter's body had already reached the standard of a super large dog.
Of course, Walter's weight and shoulder height were still within the range of a dog.
"Will he bite?"
"No. I told you, he's a good boy."
"Can I try him?" Famar asked.
"How do you want to try?"
"I'll pretend to drown."
"Okay."
Famar jogged into the lake and slowly swam dozens of meters away from the shore.
Suddenly, Famar felt something tug at his feet. Is there a big fish in the lake?
Famar thought, but he did not have time to think. His feet seemed to be bitten by something.
The thing's bite force was not strong, but it dragged him down.
"Oh no … Help … Help …"
Everyone on the shore looked at Famar with smiles. Lily pointed at him. "He's so good at acting."
"Is he in trouble?" Chen Zhao asked, frowning.
"Don't joke around," another boy said. "Famar is the captain of the school's swimming team. He's also participated in the high school sports and won the youth category. He warms up at school every day for a thousand meters."
Chen Zhao still felt a bit uneasy. Judging from Famar's expression, something really seemed to have happened.
"Walter … Help …"
Walter turned his head in the water and saw Famar in the distance.
Whoosh —
"God, he's really fast."
"Famar is sinking … He's not joking … Walter, faster!"
Walter was very fast. Chen Zhao's eyelids twitched. He looked at the people around him. They did not seem to realize that Walter's swimming speed was abnormal.
Everyone's attention was on Famar, who had already disappeared from the lake.
