In the surveillance screen, the ghost child shook its head and wobbled, looking as though it had just tasted a supreme delicacy. Then it opened its small mouth, its chubby little arms spreading wide alongside it as if it thought this would let its mouth open even wider, its appearance oddly blank, dazed, and cute.

Yet to the wraiths, this black child possessed not even a shred of cuteness.

"Don't you come over!" one wraith screamed, instantly turning into smoke and getting sucked into the ghost child's mouth.

"Help!" a female wraith cried out, shouting toward Dormitory 200, "Cao Yaxuan, it's me, Xiao Li, I'm not dead yet!"

The next second, her body also turned into black smoke, swallowed in a single gulp by the little ghost.

"Hahahaha~" The ghost child was endlessly amused, its little body actually standing straight up, facing the ferocious ghost army, and taking a sudden, deep breath.

In an instant, more than half of the ferocious ghosts turned into a current of black smoke, pouring endlessly into the ghost child's mouth.

[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" has killed...]

[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" has killed...]

[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" has killed...]

Meanwhile, as Xu Lang listened to the ding-ding-ding system notification sounds ringing in his ears, his ears felt somewhat numb.

The three women, Cao Yaxuan included, all wore looks of pleasant surprise.

None of them had expected the ghost child to be so formidable.

The eat ghost skill seemed to be a divine skill specifically designed to counter these ghost-type monsters!

"Xu Lang, those ghosts look like they're about to run away!" Tong Qi suddenly pointed at the wraiths on the surveillance screen, saying urgently.

On the leaderboard, Xu Lang's points firmly occupied first place.

And everyone knew just how important points were.

[2 Thunder: Players on the first floor be careful, the ghost in the lead is very strong, but note that being surrounded at the door by wraiths is the most terrifying thing. First floor players can come out and use ranged attacks to draw fire if they see others surrounded]

[1 Jin Xin: @Thunder, Floor Leader save me, I'm surrounded!]

[2 Thunder: Trash!]

[49 Li Shuwen: Dormitory 40 and Dormitory 60, report your ghost information]

[164 Liu Lei: Damn! The room owner was going to open the door, good thing I grabbed him, everyone watch out for the wraiths' mental control!]

[174 Zhou Daxiong: Brothers, quick, look at the points leaderboard]

[32 Ye Fan: Holy shit defying the heavens, the game has barely started for two minutes and points are already at two hundred? Turns out it's Lang Ge, then it's fine!]

[88: @Xu Lang, Lang Ge what's wrong with you, did you take aphrodisiacs?!]

Other people were not very familiar with this person Xu Lang, but those who had experienced the previous round of the game were far too familiar with him.

Finding Xu Lang ranked first on the leaderboard, a crowd immediately began to clamor, and even Wu Huihui sent a private message to inquire.

Yet Xu Lang had no time to reply at all.

He looked at the wraiths retreating into the hallway and let out a sigh: "The ghost child has another skill, house-calming evil-repelling. These ghost entities are all too terrified of the ghost child."

The ghost child's attack range was limited, and looking at the cowering group of wraiths, it stamped its feet in anger.

"It's fine, Xu Lang... Eh, ghosts are coming from over there!" Cao Yaxuan, halfway through her comfort, suddenly changed her tune and said with a pleasant surprise.

From the hallway on the right hand side, wave after wave of swarming wraiths surged over.

Quite a few of them were shot dead by crossbow bolts along the way, allowing other room owners on the same floor to pick up some scraps.

Yet even more wraiths had already appeared within the surveillance screen, and they seemed to have no end.

The ghost child discovered this as well, its indignant expression instantly turning joyous as it opened its mouth and sucked in fiercely.

[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" has killed...]

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth lifted high, and finally he could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

It was worth it!

Everything was totally worth it!

Risking his life back then to go out and get the air drop care package was definitely worth it!

Making enemies with other players?

That little bit of a price was worth less than a fart!

The wraiths in the hallway formed a long queue, and for a moment finding it somewhat difficult to retreat, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.

At the same time, from the hallway on the left hand side, a male ghost holding a long sword suddenly rushed out, let out a fierce roar, and led the crowd of ghosts to attack Dormitory 200.

[Liu Quan]

[Type: Evil Spirit]

[Level: 3]

[Skills: Swallow's Three Dips, Water-Summoning Sword Art, Evil Spirit Screech]

Liu Quan was a level higher than Zhou Tao, and his type was an evil spirit.

The three women, Cao Yaxuan included, all saw Liu Quan's information, and their expressions inevitably tightened.

At this moment, the ghost child had already vacuumed the right side almost empty, and turning its head to find that Liu Quan and the other ghosts had arrived right at its feet, it could not help but fly into a towering rage.

When others avoided it, it grew quite angry, and when others weren't afraid of it, it grew angry just the same!

Ghosts as creatures were naturally fickle and moody.

And in the ghost child's description, one of the phrases was "ultimate evil"!

Liu Quan had already reached the ghost child's feet. The latter glared with both eyes, and Liu Quan felt as though his soul body was about to fall apart. The sword in his hand warped, and instead of hacking at the ghost child, his formidable enemy, he stabbed it toward the heavy door instead.

[Steel door durability -5]

Xu Lang had already adjusted the surveillance screen to the entryway for convenient viewing, and he himself was standing behind the door. Catching sight of the steel door's durability dropping, he unhurriedly picked up a piece of steel material from beside him and chose to repair it.

Outside the door, the ghost child's little mouth opened wide. Liu Quan persisted for around ten seconds before still turning into black smoke.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the wraiths had surrounded the door, their sharp claws scratching against the steel door and making a grating clatter.

The steel materials Xu Lang had stored were rapidly consumed.

To alleviate the pressure, Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan even turned on the bronze repeating crossbow's automatic attack mode.

A few seconds later, the ghost child, having freed up its hands, sucked the surrounding wraiths completely empty.

Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief, checked his personal points, and was startled to find that his points had already broken past a thousand!

Liu Quan, that single level-three evil spirit alone, had provided him with five hundred points!

"Xu Lang, those wraiths don't look like they're going to come over anymore." Wang Yazhi, having coasted along the entire time, looked at the numerous wraiths who did not dare to advance, and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xu Lang nodded and suddenly pushed the door open.

In that instant, those wraiths rushed over, roaring as if they had gone mad.

After exposing his head for half a second, Xu Lang closed the door.

Looking at the wraiths being devoured by the ghost child on the surveillance screen, he secretly praised them.

Blood hatred players, they really are useful!

Cao Yaxuan and the others were completely stunned, then grew joyful.

"Xu Lang, this method of yours is truly great!" Cao Yaxuan clapped her hands, feeling that those wraiths who rushed the monsters were rather cute.

"Lang Ge is simply amazing, haha." Tong Qi was endlessly amused.

Wang Yazhi smiled as well.

This round of the Dormitory Survival Game didn't seem quite that difficult after all.

Twenty minutes later, all the wraiths on the tenth floor had been completely cleared out.

Xu Lang's points held a cliff-like lead!

[Points Leaderboard--]

[Xu Lang: 3411]

[Thunder: 849]

[Xu Ruyan: 589]

[...]

On the first floor, Thunder's nose was twisted in anger.

He had always been known for a fierce personality, daring to fight and scrap, and was bound and determined to seize the top spot on the points leaderboard this time—only to be crushed by a Phase 1 Player!

Weren't these blood hatred players supposed to be the first ones who deserved to die?!
