Chapter 1 The World Has Changed
"Whew~Whew~"
In the corridor of an old office building, a young man is panting and going downstairs.
The young man looked to be twenty-four or five years old and was an intern at a company here.
At this time, he was holding a mobile phone in his left hand, which played a song that was used to strengthen his courage at night, but his right hand was kept in his pocket, holding something stubbornly.
"Ahh
In the mobile phone, a singing voice of unknown meaning sounded, echoing in this narrow and dark corridor, quite a strange feeling.
"Bang dang!"
There was a loud bang, and the young man slammed open the security door to the underground garage.
"What the hell is going on? What the hell has been following me!? β
He ran into the long hallway, his face undisguised with trepidation.
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
Behind him, a sound like the friction of bones and joints sounded, which made people shudder.
The young man couldn't help but shudder, his pace quickened, and his right hand, which had been holding something, subconsciously squeezed it tighter.
"Gurgling ......"
At this moment, the strange voice behind him suddenly became closer, like a whimper from the gut, and the young man felt as if it was less than a story away from him.
"! How can you go downstairs so fast! β
His heart was pounding, and he had a feeling that he was about to be overtaken.
"I don't care, just rub it here!"
The young man suddenly took out the thing he had been holding in the palm of his hand from his right pocket, and began to rub it on as he ran.
"Ten seconds! It only takes 10 seconds! β
Listening to the grunt that was getting closer, he frantically rubbed the thing with his hands as he pulled his legs and ran down the narrow corridor.
"Boom, boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
In the other pocket, the music of the mobile phone began to become intense at this moment.
"Gurgle......"
Behind him, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, as if running, accompanied by the sound of trash cans being knocked over.
Listening to the sound that was getting closer and closer, the young man felt that he was now like a year, he had never thought that ten seconds would be so long.
The tooth-aching grunt sounded again, this time almost like it came from behind a human ear.
Now he can be sure that the thing behind him is definitely not human!
It is absolutely impossible for a person to make such a sound!
The young man now felt so sorry, he should have started rubbing the stone in his hand earlier.
Wrong!
He shouldn't have walked this corridor at all!
Isn't it fragrant to rub it directly upstairs? Why hide it for fear of exposure?
Just when he felt that he was about to be overtaken, the music that had been playing in his pocket suddenly sounded a high-pitched shout.
"Yo!! Ahem!!!! β
With the piercing soprano voice in the mobile phone, the pace of the chase behind him suddenly stopped.
Then, a high-pitched, painful roar rang out from that direction, followed by an even more rapid sound of footsteps.
A strong sense of oppression struck, and the young people did not dare to look back the whole time.
Just as the terrifying aura was about to spread, the environment around him changed suddenly, and his feet were empty, and the whole person suddenly fell off the bed.
He's home.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Huhuhu~"
Zhang Xiaoman sat on the ground panting violently, his mind full of the terrifying scene he had just experienced.
In his right hand, an oval-shaped white stone slipped and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
"It's definitely not human! Definitely not! β
Zhang Xiaoman was soaked in cold sweat, and the whole person seemed to collapse.
The thought of the tooth-souring gurgling sound behind him and the last roar he heard made his heart grow colder.
took out his mobile phone and pinched off the music that was still playing, and Zhang Xiaoman sat on the bed. He glanced at the stone on the ground, looked at the blue circle that had temporarily dimmed on it, and unconsciously became distracted.
Just yesterday, while he was having lunch, a wild reed crucian carp gave him a big surprise. He unexpectedly ate a system inside!
That's right, it's the essential soulmate of the legendary protagonists.
And its name is also very simple and crude - the Ten Thousand Worlds Lottery System.
The function is, of course, a lottery.
In addition, the system has two other capabilities, namely "Mall" and "Upgrade".
There is only one item in the mall, and the upgrade function cannot be used because of the lack of points.
Even this system doesn't even have a system elf who can flirt, everything has to be explored by himself.
Suddenly got this kind of adventure, Zhang Xiaoman was naturally overjoyed. It's just tragic that before he could cover up the system, he encountered the kind of thing just now.
And the stone he kept rubbing in his hand at the last moment was the item obtained through the system's daily lottery - Hearthstone.
γHearthstoneγ
Bind
Effect: After 10 seconds of continuous rubbing, it teleports you back to your home.
Cooldown: 1 hour.
- Rub me.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the attribute panel of the item in front of him, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
This kind of attribute panel, he only needs to keep staring at the item to see, but this ability seems to be only useful for the props produced by the system, and has no effect on ordinary objects.
"Could it be that there really are those terrifying monsters in this world......
Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, and the scene just now couldn't help but resurface in front of his eyes.
Oozing grunts, terrifying roars, heavy footsteps, and cold gasps that almost spurted into the back of their heads.
All of this makes people shudder just thinking about it.
Originally, after he obtained the system, he was ready to eat and wait for death and go to the peak of life. But now, after what had just happened, he suddenly found that everything seemed to be a little different from what he had thought.
While thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoman only heard a "creak" sound, and his door was opened from the outside.
It was a woman in her fifties who came in.
"Huh? You're back. β
Pei Lingsu opened the door and saw his son's dejected expression, first froze for a moment, and then worried: "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?" How is it like losing your soul? β
Zhang Xiaoman subconsciously turned his head to look at her, and then stood up with a "swish", walked over and pulled his mother to the living room.
"What the hell is going on? What happened? β
Looking at his son's abnormal appearance, Pei Lingsu's face was full of worry.
"Gurgling ......"
Zhang Xiaoman poured a big sip of cold water and took two deep breaths of air, and then put on a serious expression and explained what happened to his mother.
"Mom, I think I just ran into a monster......"
