Half an hour later.

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

In the short time just now, he had found more than twenty games or movies with similar items, and the settings about holy water were so diverse that he was dazzled.

Just when he was distressed, the properties of the holy water appeared in his field of vision due to long gaze:

——Liquid gold

"Liquid gold...?"

Zhang Xiaoman slapped his forehead: "That's right! Liquid gold!"

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

Sure enough, the next second, when a series of search results were displayed, Zhang Xiaoman's eyes suddenly lit up.

As he slid his mouse, he clicked on one of the links.

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

Zhang Xiaoman stared at the article on the screen and read softly.

"A bottle of real holy water must be taken from the clearest mountain spring, and then led back to the holy land by the purest and pious people. Finally, it will have to go through thousands of days of prayer to gain divine power..."

Zhang Xiaoman paused and looked at the inconspicuous little bottle at hand with some surprise.

"Holy water can not only bring blessings to people, but can also be used to fight against evil spirits. All evil things that are touched by holy water will melt into nothingness in an instant..."

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

"..."

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoman flipped through many other web pages and got similar opinions. This time, he felt that he was almost confident.

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

"Can you drive away evil spirits? It's interesting..."

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

After dealing with this addiction in his heart, a feeling of sleepiness suddenly came over him, but before going to bed, he still had one more thing to solve.

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

"Beep...beep..."

The phone didn't ring a few times before it was answered.

"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 said quickly: "Brother! Fortunately, you didn't sleep. Listen to me, don't go to the company tomorrow!"

"What? Why?"

"There is a ghost in the company!"

Zhang Xiaoman said directly that he actually wanted to say that there was a monster at first, but suddenly felt that it would be less credible to say so, so he simply changed his words temporarily and changed his name to a name that was easier for the other party to understand.

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly heard these words and 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 call me specifically at night to tell me a ghost story...?"

Zhang Xiaoman said quickly: "Tell me a woolen ghost story, it's true! When I got off the night shift just now, the elevator was broken, so I took the stairs...and then I met that thing.

!If I hadn’t run so fast at that time, I might have had to explain where I was!”

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

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

However, he thought about it again and felt that if he said it so directly, the other party would definitely not believe it. Just when he was about to make up a story, someone on the other end of the phone suddenly spoke.

"Come on, you must not have seen it, right? Hehe, don't even think about it. Let me tell you, there is actually a little girl from a company on the fifth floor who brings her own puppy every time she works the night shift.

with her."

"So, you were chased by a dog today! Hahahaha!"

"..."

Zhang Xiaoman scratched his hair, feeling that it was getting messier as he talked.

He knew very well that there was absolutely no way it was a dog!

The palpitations and terror I felt when I encountered the monster, as well as the sounds coming from behind, were definitely not something a dog could do!

But then he thought about it, and if it had been before, he would never have believed that these things existed in the world.

At that moment, he had an idea and immediately changed his explanation: "No, good man. Can you take a day off tomorrow? Come to my house. I have something to ask you for help..."

Unexpectedly, the good man suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Zhang Xiaoman, who of us is following whom? You are trying to fool me with your tricks. Let me tell you, you are really overthinking this.

Where in the world did this ghost come from?"

As he said that, he changed his tone again: "Actually, if it were another day, I would have asked for leave and asked for it. Who said we are brothers? I would treat you as a fool for nothing. But tomorrow is really not possible! Tomorrow is

In the promotion assessment in our company, I have been waiting for the position of team leader for more than a year, do you think I can not go?"

Zhang Xiaoman was silent. He knew what Brother Haohan said was true. Ever since he had his son, this guy didn't even play games on weekdays. He also worked hard and performed outstandingly at work. He had been eyeing the position of team leader for a long time.

, and the hope of success is great.

"Let me see, when I become the team leader in the future, you might as well join our company. We are all in the same building anyway..."

On the other end of the phone, Brother Haohan was still looking forward to the beautiful picture of the future.

Zhang Xiaoman was helpless at this time. He knew that this was a dead end. It was impossible for the good guy to believe his ghosts and gods, let alone give up his chance to get ahead just for this reason.

"Ha~ I won't say it anymore, I'm too sleepy, I'll go to sleep first..."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly spoke with a solemn tone.

"Good man, listen to me. When you go to and from get off work tomorrow, you must not take the stairs alone, okay?"

"Ah? Okay, okay, I promise you..."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and waited until the other party hung up the phone before putting down his phone.

He didn't know if the good man really listened to what he said, but he said everything that needed to be said. If it had been someone else, he wouldn't have bothered to waste more words.

Brother Haohan is Zhang Xiaoman’s buddy since childhood.

His name is a relatively rare four-letter name. Since his father's surname is Lu and his mother's surname is Lin, and the two elders gave him Hao Han as his name, this kid has been called Hao Han a lot since he was a child.

People laugh - his name is Lu Linhaohan.

"Brother Haohan" is his nickname.

The two have a deep friendship with each other, but unlike Zhang Xiaoman, who plays games carelessly all day long, Haohan got married early and has two sons.

Zhang Xiaoman knew the situation of this boy and how difficult it was for him. In addition to working, he also had to work part-time to deliver food every day after work. Even so, he never complained and often took out the money he saved after quitting smoking.

Use a little bit of your own money to treat yourself to a barbecue.

For such a brother, he naturally couldn't just watch him jump into the pit of fire, which is why the scene just happened.

After patting the pillow and getting ready to go to sleep, Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and picked up his phone to send a message to the company's group chat.

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

"Hey, I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope you can listen..."
