the only savior

Chapter 22
Zhang Xiaoman didn't say anything more, his face was full of waves.

Reaching out his hand, Zhang Xiaoman did the same as the previous few times, using the seven-pointed star to absorb the corpse demon on the ground.

Immediately, the pleasant sound of the system echoed in his mind.

"Ding, absorb the essence of the corpse demon and increase the points by 5 points."

"Huh? There are only 5 points this time..."

Zhang Xiaoman was slightly surprised, it seems that even different individuals of the same type can absorb different points.

This corpse, which is obviously smaller than the previous one, is 2 points less than the previous one.

Once again, seeing the monster's body being "purified" by Zhang Xiaoman, Brother Hero is not as unbelievable as when he first saw it, but this time his face is more excited and expectant.

"Xiao, Xiaoman, can I learn these skills of yours?"

The hero brother asked a little apprehensively.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, but shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid not, I just noticed that you don't have the talent to control dark energy."

"Is that so... Is the one you used just now dark energy?"

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

"Yes, but to be honest, I haven't found a second person with a talent for dark energy other than myself for so long..."

Hearing this, the hero nodded disappointedly, but before he could be depressed for a long time, he heard Zhang Xiaoman say it again.

"But don't worry, I'm currently researching a special technique that can stimulate the inspiration hidden in the human body, so that ordinary people can also have the talent of dark energy."

"real!?"

The good man was overjoyed.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled.

"Don't worry, since you already know all this, I naturally won't let you face it empty-handed. When I finish the spell, I will help you to enlighten."

He paused, then said:

"By the way, try not to tell other people, including your relatives, about this matter. After all, under the rules of mental identification, the less they know, the safer it is for them."

The good man nodded quickly when he heard the words.

Zhang Xiaoman turned around, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

The best way to get someone to keep a secret willingly is to bring him into your camp.

Of course, he didn't do it entirely for reasons of secrecy.

What's more, it was the huge plan that gradually became clear in his mind.

"Xiaoman, shall we go back now? There shouldn't be any monsters here, right?" the hero asked.

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.

"Don't worry, the source of evil should be on the second floor of the building, I need to go over and take a look."

The so-called source of evil naturally refers to the space node. You must know that that thing is worth dozens of points.

The hero was stunned for a moment, a little scared and said: "This, will it be dangerous?"

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at him and said, "It's okay, I'll go alone. You have to go to work tomorrow, so go home early."

The hero bowed his head for a while, and then he gritted his teeth fiercely and said:
"Xiaoman, let me go with you! Although I can't do anything right now, but... but my phone volume is too loud, isn't it? It's good to play BGM for you. Besides, I will always have to face it in the future. These are just the right time to exercise! In addition, with a master like you present, I have to take advantage of the opportunity!"

When Zhang Xiaoman heard him say that he was a master, he couldn't help being a little speechless, secretly saying that his flickering this time was quite successful.

But he thought about it, what the hero said seemed to make sense. Anyway, one more person would have more eyes, and if there was still danger, it would also increase the chance of finding monsters.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded and motioned for the hero to follow, while he took out two water pistols from his pocket and walked towards the second floor lightly.

The hero brother hurriedly followed behind him, and occasionally glanced back carefully.

The two came all the way to the second floor, where the security door has been damaged, and it looks like it should have been knocked down by a monster.

It was pitch black inside the door, and nothing could be seen.

Brother Hero quickly turned on the lighting of his mobile phone and took on the task of providing vision.

Zhang Xiaoman stood at the door and listened quietly for a while, but he didn't notice any movement, so he walked in first.

After walking a few steps into the door, the two of them gradually smelled a foul stench, as if something had rotted inside, which made people feel sick for a while.

Zhang Xiaoman endured the discomfort, and cheered up twelve points.

This smell is the same as what I smelled on the corpse demon just now. It seems that this place is indeed the corpse demon's lair.

The structure of the office building is a zigzag shape. After the two went out from the safety door in the middle, they walked around the corridor, but they did not find any new monsters.

Of course, Zhang Xiaoman's main goal here was the space node, but to his disappointment, he didn't find any trace of the space node here, and that mysterious purple light did not appear here.

"It seems that not all monsters came out of the space node, maybe there are other ways... Or, these two corpse demons came from other places? The space node used when they came is not here? "

Zhang Xiaoman made a guess about the situation in front of him. He glanced ahead, but saw a little movement in a corner.

"There's something over there, let's go over and take a look, be careful..."

He quickly whispered to the hero next to him.

The hero nodded and walked behind Zhang Xiaoman.

The two slowly approached, Zhang Xiaoman only felt that the smell seemed to be heavier, and it seemed that it should have come from here.

This is an open office, and it is pitch-dark inside. After the flashlight swept past, Zhang Xiaoman found a black figure in a corner facing the door.

"what is that?"

The hero asked softly, and the light of the flashlight stayed on the shadow.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at it and said unsurely, "It should be the corpse of an animal, but it has rotted so badly that I can't tell what animal it is."

The hero took two steps forward, intending to take a closer look, but at this moment, a white figure emerged from under the black hair of the animal corpse, and roared in the direction of the hero.

"Back up! It's a corpse demon!"

Zhang Xiaoman let out a low cry, and then he lifted his gun and shot.

"Bah~"

With a slight gunshot, the holy water bomb accurately hit the corpse demon.

As the water droplets exploded, the holy water inside immediately splashed on its body, a few wisps of black smoke came out, and the wound began to spread instantly.

This corpse demon is very small, about the size of two slaps of an adult, and now it lost its ability to move immediately after being hit by this holy water bomb. .
