……

After leveling up, Ghost Child's appearance didn't change much, but its expression became more dignified and solemn.

"Tong Bao, Tong Bao, congratulations! You finally leveled up!" Tong Qi was extremely happy, standing before the shrine, her joy almost becoming tangible.

Tong Qi's affection for Ghost Child wasn't without reason. She had grown up with her grandmother since childhood, lacking parental love.

After meeting Ghost Child, she projected her childhood self onto it.

Both had "Tong" in their names—wasn't that fate?

In any case, to Tong Qi, Ghost Child was someone who needed to be cared for. Many times when monsters tried to harm Ghost Child, she had operated the turret to eliminate them in advance.

"Hah~"

Ghost Child opened its mouth, a black flame swirling within, the corners of its eyes relaxing as if showing off.

"Here, try it on him." Xu Lang summoned the veteran actor.

A stream of black fire spewed from Ghost Child's mouth, like a black flame dragon, instantly setting the zombie ablaze.

Within a few breaths, the zombie turned to charcoal.

【Yin Fire: The five aggregates blazing intensely, igniting into fierce flames, burning yin and destroying souls】

After the dormitory building's iteration, much information display had become more interesting and free.

From the description, it could be understood that this Yin Fire still had special lethal effects against ghosts and spiritual entities.

Ghost Child was somewhat too extreme, practically the bane of ghostly creatures.

"Wow, Tong Bao, you're so amazing!" Tong Qi exclaimed in surprise.

Ghost Child's mouth corners lifted, finally breaking into hearty laughter, though it had form without sound.

Xu Lang's pupils contracted sharply—he actually couldn't see Ghost Child's tongue.

The tongue didn't seem to have been cut off, but more like it had been pulled out!?

Xu Lang remained calm and patted Tong Qi's shoulder. "Little Tong, do you have any more Soul Fragments? Feed Ghost Child a bit more."

"I still have a little." Tong Qi reluctantly took out three portions of Soul Fragments.

She blamed herself for feeding too enthusiastically at first—once these Soul Fragments were used up, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the pleasure of feeding Tong Bao anymore.

Just then, Xu Lang glanced outside unintentionally and noticed large numbers of players outside the dormitory building all heading in one direction.

Immediately, he skillfully opened the chat room and found the key information.

This was the instinct and sharpness expected of an excellent player.

【98 Wang Han: Brothers, come quickly! I found a mother and daughter who came out of the blood mist!】

【49 Zhu Yan: @Wang Han, are you joking? People can come from the blood mist?】

【98 Wang Han: (Picture)】

Xu Lang opened the picture to look.

The people in the photo might indeed be a mother and daughter.

The woman appeared to be around thirty years old, wearing a dirty white coat, with a tall and slender but thin figure. Her resolute face was covered with signs of exhaustion, and she wore black-framed glasses on her slender, straight nose bridge, lending her an intellectual, scholarly air.

The little girl was at most eight years old, wearing a dirty floral dress, shrinking timidly behind the woman's legs with a frightened expression. Yet her large eyes shone with brightness, as if seeing hope.

【98 Wang Han: This woman says she's a researcher from the National Academy of Sciences. Could this be some special monster? Brothers, come quickly! I'm getting nervous!】

Xu Lang had excellent eyesight, and even from such a distance, he could see the scene over there.

He saw numerous players surrounding the mother and daughter.

"The Dorm Survival Game really has all kinds of bizarre things happening," Xu Lang remarked.

Although he was also curious about the identities of the mother and daughter, he didn't want to join the crowd at this moment.

He could ask Rainy Night Blade during the assembly.

"Lang Ge, what's wrong?" Tong Qi asked.

Xu Lang explained the situation to Tong Qi, and then Tong Qi also expressed her amazement.

……

"These are people from the Blood Mist World? I thought the Blood Mist World only had monsters."

"What exactly is your background? Why did you come to Mad King Dormitory Building?!"

"I heard you're from the Blood Mist World?"

Luo Lin looked at the people surrounding her, pressing her slender lips into a tight line, not bothering to respond to these overly chaotic questions one by one.

These people held great wariness toward her, and she felt the same toward them.

The players wore all kinds of clothing, many accustomed to displaying their equipment outwardly—partly to show off, partly to intimidate others.

Just then, the crowd grew noisy and parted to create a pathway.

The player from dorm 49 had arrived.

Zhu Yan and Li Wenwen walked side by side, with their other two tenants guarding them left and right, maintaining a position that wasn't too crowded.

"Are you the administrator here?" Luo Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Her biggest fear earlier was that others would attack without asking questions.

"No, I'm just a tenant here." Li Shuwen shook his head calmly, staring into Luo Lin's eyes. "I heard you come from outside the dormitory?"

At this moment, almost all the notable figures in the dormitory had arrived, including Yun Yun, Zhou Shen, and other nominal floor leaders.

Hearing Li Shuwen's inquiry, everyone focused intently, listening to this conversation.

"Yes, I'm Luo Lin, and this is my daughter Tao Tao." Luo Lin nodded, then added, "Aren't you locals from Star City?"

Star City?

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded faintly. "Tell us about your background."

Luo Lin replied, "I'm a researcher from Star City's National Academy of Sciences... Is this a refuge set up by a civilian organization? Are there any government personnel here?"

Li Shuwen pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Sorry, we don't understand what you're talking about."

Luo Lin said incredulously, "Haven't you seen zombies? Didn't you gather here to escape the biochemical disaster?!"

In just a few words, Li Shuwen realized they were operating on completely different levels of understanding.

Deception was pointless because it would be exposed as soon as they talked further.

Immediately, he spoke slowly, "I think you need to understand what the Dorm Survival Game is."

As he spoke, he kept an eye on the other players' reactions to avoid gaining a reputation for arrogance.

Seeing that none of the other players objected, he then began explaining to Luo Lin what the Dorm Survival Game was.
