the only savior

Chapter 3

After half an hour.

Zhang Xiaoman stretched and reluctantly closed a bunch of web pages he had just opened.

In the short time just now, he has found more than 20 games or movies with similar items.

The settings for holy water are even more varied, making him dazzled.

Just when he was distressed, the attributes of holy water appeared in his field of vision due to the long-term gaze:
- liquid gold

"Liquid gold...?"

Zhang Xiaoman slapped his forehead: "Right! Liquid gold!"

He quickly reopened the web page and quickly entered the prompt given by the system in the search engine-liquid gold.

Sure enough, in the next second, when a series of search results appeared, his eyes suddenly lit up.

When he swiped with the mouse, he had already clicked on one of the links.

"Liquid gold - born in Western mythology, usually refers to holy water that has been blessed by the gods..."

Zhang Xiao stared at the article on the screen intently, and said softly in his mouth.

"A bottle of real holy water must come from the clearest mountain spring, and then be led back to the Holy Land by the most pure and devout people. In the end, it takes thousands of days of prayers to obtain divine power..."

After a pause, he glanced at the inconspicuous little bottle beside him with some surprise.

"Holy water can not only bring blessings to people, but can also be used to fight against demons. All evil things, if they are stained with holy water, will melt into nothingness in an instant..."

"The production of holy water is extremely difficult, coupled with its special abilities, it is extremely precious, so it was called 'liquid gold' at that time."

"..."

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoman flipped through many other web pages, and the statements he got were similar.

This time, he felt that his heart was almost at the bottom.

Putting down the mouse, he picked up the small bottle containing holy water again.

"Can disperse demons? It's interesting..."

He couldn't help but think of the horror and strangeness he had encountered before.

After dealing with this addiction in his heart, a drowsiness hit him, but before he went to sleep, he still had one thing to solve.

Picking up the phone, Zhang Xiaoman quickly dialed a number.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone didn't ring a few times, and was answered there.

"Hello? Zhang Xiaoman? Why are you calling me at this time?"

A man's voice came from the other side.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't expect to be connected so quickly, and hurriedly said:
"Good man! Fortunately, you didn't sleep. Listen to me, don't go to the company tomorrow!"

"What? Why?"

"There are ghosts in the company!"

he said directly.

Zhang Xiaoman actually wanted to say that there was a monster coming, but suddenly felt that it would be less credible to say so, so he changed his mouth temporarily and changed to a more understandable name for the other party.

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly heard such a sentence, and the whole person was stunned.

He removed the phone and looked at the number on the caller ID. After confirming that it was Zhang Xiaoman, he put it back to his ear.

"Zhang Xiaoman? You... Did you make a special call at night to tell me a ghost story...?"

Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly said:

"Tell a ghost story about wool, it's true! When I got off the night shift just now, wasn't the elevator broken, so I took the stairs... Then I encountered that thing! If it wasn't for me at the time Run fast, I'm afraid you have to explain where it is!"

"Then do you see what that thing looks like?"

Zhang Xiaoman paused, but he didn't see the monster's appearance, because he didn't dare to look back at that time.

However, he thought about it again, and felt that if he said it directly, the other party would definitely not believe it.

When I was about to make up a random look, the other end of the phone suddenly spoke.

"Come on, you mustn't have seen it, right? Hey, don't even think about it, let me tell you, there's actually a little girl from a company on the fifth floor who takes her puppy over there every time she's on night shift. with her."

"So, you were kicked out by a dog today! Hahahaha!"

"..."

Zhang Xiaoman scratched his hair, he felt that the more he talked, the more confused he became.

He knew very well that it could never be a dog!
The heart palpitations and terror when encountering monsters, as well as the sound coming from behind, is definitely not something a dog can do!

But he thought about it, too.

If it were before, he would never believe that such things would exist in the world.

At the moment, he had an idea and immediately changed his words:

"No, bro. Can you take a day off tomorrow? Come to my house, I have something to ask you to help me..."

Who knew that the good man suddenly laughed:

"Hahaha, Zhang Xiaoman, who are the two of us with whom? You are still trying to fool me. Let me tell you, you really think too much, what the hell are you in this world?"

After speaking, he changed his tone again:

"Actually, if it were another day, I would just ask for a leave of absence. Whoever made us brothers, I'll take it for nothing. But tomorrow is really not good! Tomorrow is the promotion assessment in our company. After waiting for more than a year for the position of team leader, do you think I can not go?"

Zhang Xiaoman was silent, he knew what Brother Hero said was true.

Since this guy has a son, he doesn't even play games on weekdays, and he works hard and has outstanding performance.

He has been staring at the position of the team leader for a long time, and the hope of success is also very high.

"I see, when I become the team leader in the future, why don't you come to our company to hang out, anyway, they are all in the same building..."

On the other end of the phone, Brother Hero is still looking forward to a better picture of the future.

Zhang Xiaoman was helpless at this time, he knew this was a dead end.

It is impossible for the heroic brother to believe his own ghosts and gods, and it is even more impossible for him to give up the chance that he finally succeeded because of this reason.

"Ha~ I won't talk anymore, I'm too sleepy, I'm going to sleep first..."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly spoke with a very solemn tone.

"Brother, listen to me, when you commute to get off work tomorrow, you must not walk up the stairs alone, okay?"

"Ah? Okay, okay, I promise you that's it..."

He shook his head and put down the phone after hanging up over there.

He didn't know if Brother Hero really listened to what he said, but he said everything that should have been said. If it was someone else, he would be too lazy to talk.

Brother Hero is Zhang Xiaoman's buddy who played from childhood to adulthood.

His name is a relatively rare four-letter name.

Since his father's surname is Lu, his mother's surname is Lin, and the second old man named him Haohan, this kid has been laughed at for this reason since he was a child. His name is Lu Lin Haohan.

"Brother" is his nickname.

The two had a deep friendship with each other, but unlike Zhang Xiaoman, who played games without heart and soul all day, the hero got married early and had two sons.

Zhang Xiaoman knows the situation of this kid and how difficult it is for him. In addition to work, he also has to deliver food part-time after get off work every day.

Even so, he never complained, and often took out the little private money he saved after quitting smoking to treat himself to barbecue.

For such a brother, he naturally couldn't watch him jump into the fire pit, which was the scene just now.

Just as he was about to go to sleep after patting the pillow, Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, then picked up his phone and sent a message in the company's group chat.

"I saw something dirty in the corridor after get off work yesterday! It's true! The company's building is not clean! Don't walk alone in the corridor!"

"Hey, I have already said what I have to say, I hope you can listen to it..."

Zhang Xiaoman sent another resignation text message to the leader, then put down his phone and got into the bed, and fell asleep.
