Half an hour later, in the living room.

My mother sat on the sofa, her face full of fear and solemnity.

"According to you, there really are monsters in this world? And right in your company? ”

Zhang Xiaoman had also recovered at this time, and in the time just now, he told his mother everything that happened before.

And for the fact that she has the system, my mother is also aware.

There is no way, this is not Zhang Xiaoman who took the initiative to say it, but his mother saw it herself.

Because the fish he ate was made by his mother, and when the system was bound, his whole body was full of special effects, and his mother witnessed the whole process directly on the side, and he couldn't hide it.

"yes, I'm sure it's definitely not human!" Zhang Xiaoman promised, "Mom, I now suspect that the boiling incident in our community in the past two days is also related to these monsters!" ”

The incident he was talking about was the haunting of the island in the lake.

I heard that in the past few days, there are always cats and dogs near the island in the lake, and there is an uncle who saw a strange black shadow with his own eyes when he passed by at night, and even frightened to delirious and sent to the hospital, and he is still shouting monsters in a daze.

And that small island has also become a forbidden area that no one wants to approach.

"This ...... Not really......" Mom was stunned.

"Quite possibly, after all, there is no reason...... Anyway, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, don't leave that piece in the future. ”

Mom listened to what he said reasonably, and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't dwell on this issue too much, and continued the previous topic:

"Mom, I just thought about it, why did these weird things appear when I just got the system? It can't really be the setting of the protagonist's aura, right? ”

"Uh, what do you mean?" Mom wondered.

Zhang Xiaoman sighed: "When did you say we had seen these monsters before?" Even if you've heard it, it's just a ghost story full of loopholes. Even the sixth grandfather, who has calculated his life for half his life, has never really seen a ghost. It can't be that as soon as I get the system, they all jump out one by one, right? ”

"So, I have an idea...... This shouldn't be a problem with the protagonist's aura......"

"Rather...... The problem of this world! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, these monsters are likely to have just appeared!"

Mom then reacted: "You mean, Reiki is revived!?" ”

Zhang Xiaoman was a little surprised that she still knew this, but after thinking about it, she was usually the same as herself, she would read novels with a starting point when she was okay all day long, and even her reading level had reached the top "Reading Saint", one level higher than herself, so it was not surprising that she could know this routine.

"This is just my speculation, if there is a lot of news about monsters in the future, then I really have to consider that this is indeed the case......" Zhang Xiaoman said his analysis.

My mother also groaned for a while, and then said, "I look at your company, don't go tomorrow, it's too dangerous." ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, he also planned to do so, it's a big deal that he doesn't want this month's salary.

Compared to small lives, these are not even a drop in the bucket.

And now that I have the system, of course it is impossible to go to work again.

"Okay, it's not too early, you're quite tired from duty today, so let's go to bed early." After saying that, my mother yawned and went back to her room.

……

Midnight.

Inside the bedroom.

Zhang Xiaoman was lying on the bed at this time, holding his watch, counting the time second by second.

"11:55:36, 11:55:37, 11:55:38......"

He is now waiting for a new day to arrive and then conduct a draw.

"11:58:48...... It's coming, it's coming! ”

Zhang Xiaoman felt that time was passing so slowly, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pull it.

"It's almost 12 o'clock, if this number of draws is really refreshed according to time, then many of my conjectures can be realized!"

Zhang Xiaoman watched the pointer getting closer and closer to 12 o'clock on the hour, and his heart felt like a fire was burning, and he was anxious.

Regarding the draw, he has already conducted it twice, the first time was the white prop he got yesterday - Hearthstone; The second time was today's gray prop - a bone that had been gnawed by a dog.

According to his guess, the number of draws in the system should increase every day.

And after the lottery, Zhang Xiaoman will add 1 point.

Points can be used to buy props in the system mall, but what makes him more depressed is that there is only one item sold in the system mall -

【Extractor】

- Essence can be extracted.

Yes, this prop is so confusing. Zhang Xiaoman is also very helpless about this, who said that his system does not have a system elf, and everything can only be explored by himself.

I spread out my right hand and looked at it, and in the palm of my hand, there was a complicated pattern.

The overall motif is a seven-pointed star, with a shield in the background and an open eye in the center.

This is what he got after he bought and used the extractor in the mall.

As mysterious as it may seem, he never figured out how to use it.

Looking at the time, it's already 12 o'clock! Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised his head and set his eyes on the system interface that had been opened in advance.

The interface of the system is very simple, there are only three functions, they are - mall, lottery, upgrade.

At this moment, the originally gray lottery button lit up again, indicating that he could conduct a new day's lottery.

Zhang Xiaoman breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and muttered a lot of prayers that no one could understand, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the lottery button.

"Congratulations, you've got a white item, Holy Water."

As a prompt pops up on the system interface, a spatial warp appears, and a transparent vial emerges from it and falls on the bed.

"What is this?"

Zhang Xiaoman picked up the bottle and looked at it, a little curious about what the reward given by the system was used for.

The bottle in my hand is about the size of an egg, and the workmanship looks very rough. The top of the bottle is covered with an oak stopper, and a white silk thread is wrapped around it.

Zhang Xiaoman pinched it and shook it, the bottle contained a transparent liquid, about an ounce in size, and there was nothing strange about it.

"This is holy water?" Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself, "But what's the use of this?" ”

He stared, and a panel of the object's attributes already appeared in his eyes.

【Holy Water】

- Liquid gold.

"This ......"

Zhang Xiaoman rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, the annotations of the system are really concise, which makes people wonder.

"But this time, it's not gray garbage anyway, so it should still be a little useful."

Zhang Xiaoman remembered that he was also a white-level prop, Hearthstone, and couldn't help but feel a little comforted, but he still decided to look online to see if he would find any useful clues.
