"Hu~hu~"
In the corridor of an old office building, a young man was walking downstairs out of breath.
The young man looks to be in his mid-twenties and is an intern employee of a company here.
At this time, his left hand was holding a mobile phone, which was playing a song used to boost his courage at night, but his right hand was always stuffed in his pocket, holding something tightly.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
On the phone, a singing voice of unknown meaning sounded, echoing in the small and dark corridor, giving it a strange feeling.
"Clang!"
There was a loud noise, and the young man slammed open the safety door leading to the underground garage.
"What is going on? What is following me all the time!?"
He ran into the long corridor, with unconcealable panic on his face.
"Creak... creak..."
Behind him, there was a sound like the friction of bones and joints, which made people shudder.
The young man couldn't help but shudder, his steps quickened, and his right hand that had been holding something subconsciously squeezed tighter.
"Gulu gulu..."
At this time, the strange sound from behind suddenly got closer, like a whimper coming from the throat. The young man felt that it seemed to be less than one floor away from him.
"Damn it! Why did you go downstairs so fast!"
His heart was pounding, and he felt like he was about to be overtaken.
"I don't give a damn, just rub it here!"
The young man suddenly took out the thing he had been holding in his hand from his right pocket, and started rubbing it while running.
"Ten seconds! It only takes ten seconds!"
Listening to the purring sound that was getting closer and closer, he rubbed the thing with his hands frantically while running down the long and narrow corridor.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, haha,"
In the pocket on the other side, the music on the mobile phone began to become intense at this moment.
"Think, thump, thump..."
Behind him, the sound of hurried footsteps also sounded, as if they were running, along with the sound of a trash can being knocked over.
Listening to the sound that was getting closer and closer, the young man felt that seconds seemed like years. He never thought that ten seconds would be so long.
The heart-wrenching gurgling sound sounded again, this time as if it was coming from behind a human ear.
Now he can be sure that the thing behind him is definitely not a human!
It is absolutely impossible for a human to make such a sound!
The young man feels so regretful now. He should have started rubbing the stone in his hand earlier.
wrong!
He shouldn't be walking down this corridor at all!
Wouldn’t it be delicious if you rub it directly upstairs? Why keep hiding it for fear of being exposed?
Just when he felt that he was about to be caught up, the music that had been playing in his pocket suddenly sounded a high-pitched shout.
"Yo!!! Cough!!!!"
As the harsh soprano sounded from the mobile phone, the pace of the chase behind him suddenly stopped.
Then, a sharp and painful roar sounded from that direction, followed by a burst of more rapid footsteps.
A strong sense of oppression came over him, and the young man did not dare to look back the whole time.
Just when the terrifying aura was about to spread, the environment around him suddenly changed. His feet were empty and he fell off the bed.
He's home.
…………
"Huhuhu~"
Zhang Xiaoman sat on the ground and gasped violently, his mind filled with the horrific scenes he had just experienced.
In his right hand, an oval-shaped white stone slipped and fell to the ground with a heavy sound.
"This is definitely not a human being! Absolutely not!"
Zhang Xiaoman's whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and he felt as if he was exhausted.
His heart became even colder when he thought of the tooth-aching grunt behind him and the last roar he heard.
He took out his cell phone and turned off the music that was still playing, and sat down on the bed. He glanced at the stone on the ground, looking at the temporarily dimmed blue circle on it, and unconsciously fell into a trance.
Just yesterday, when he was having lunch, a wild catfish gave him a big surprise. He accidentally ate out a system inside!
Yes, it is the necessary soul mate for the protagonists in the legend.
And its name is also very simple and crude - Ten Thousand Realms Lottery System.
The function is of course the lottery.
In addition, the system also has two other capabilities, namely "mall" and "upgrade".
There is only one item in the mall, and the upgrade function cannot be used due to insufficient points.
This system doesn't even have a flirting system elf, so he has to explore everything by himself.
Zhang Xiaoman was naturally overjoyed to suddenly get such an adventure. What's tragic is that before he could warm up the system, he encountered the same thing just now.
And the stone he kept rubbing in his hands at the last moment was the prop obtained through the system's daily lottery - the hearth stone.
【Hearthstone】
Bound
Effect of use: After rubbing continuously for ten seconds, you will be teleported back to your home.
Cooling time: 1 hour.
——Rub me.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the attribute panel of the item in front of him, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He only needs to keep staring at the item to see this kind of attribute panel. However, this ability seems to be only useful for props produced by the system, and has no effect on ordinary objects.
"Could it be that those terrifying monsters really exist in this world..."
Zhang Xiaoman murmured to himself, and the scene just now could not help but reappear in front of his eyes again.
The oozing grunts, terrifying roars, heavy footsteps, and the cold breathing that almost gushed to the back of his head.
All of this makes people shudder just thinking about it.
Originally, after he obtained the system, he was ready to wait for death and reach the peak of his life. But now, after experiencing what just happened, he suddenly found that everything seemed different from what he thought.
While he was thinking, Zhang Xiaoman heard a "squeak" sound, and his door was opened from the outside.
A woman in her fifties came in.
"Huh? You're back."
Pei Lingsu opened the door and saw his son's lost expression. He was stunned for a moment, and then worriedly asked: "Xiao Man, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
Zhang Xiaoman subconsciously turned his head to look at her, then stood up with a bang, walked over and pulled his mother to the living room.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Seeing his son's abnormal appearance, Pei Lingsu looked worried.
"Gulu gulu..."
Zhang Xiaoman took a big gulp of cold water and took two deep breaths of air. Then he put on a serious expression and explained what happened to his mother.
"Mom, I think I just met a monster..."
