"Ah?"

In Dorm 9, Su Yuan looked completely bewildered.

Don't let them escape?

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood, breaking out in a cold sweat while also feeling an inexplicable excitement, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The door was being slammed repeatedly from outside, accompanied by curses.

"Su Yuan, get the hell out here!"

"Fuck you! Open the door quickly!"

"If you don't want your mother to die, open this door yourself!"

The situation where Su Yuan was being blocked in his dorm wasn't purely about competing interests—it involved hatred.

Sun Heng had been killed by that group outside. In the previous game round, he had revealed that he owned a down jacket, which made him a target.

Before Sun Heng and another roommate were killed, they had traded the dorm owner key to him.

Now only he and his mother remained in Dorm 9.

"Fuck your brother, still not opening the door!" A man outside picked up a large iron hammer and viciously smashed it against the door.

Su Yuan quickly repaired it and said to his mother, "Mom, step further back."

His raw materials were almost gone.

A middle-aged woman stepped back, her hands marked by years of labor, her face deeply lined with wrinkles, her eyes full of concern as she looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan's father had died early, and mother and son had always relied on each other, being each other's final support.

...

"Fuck fuck fuck!" In front of Dorm 9, a bald man kept smashing the door, his vicious nature fully revealed.

Rest periods weren't good times for killing, but they were perfect for tormenting people.

Since the first-floor leader hadn't been selected yet, they could recklessly smash doors without restraint.

If new players arrived later and the floor leader position was finalized, they wouldn't be able to act so brazenly.

When eliminating weeds, remove the roots—this was something every player knew.

Moreover, Dorm 9 definitely still had resources. Even squeezing oil from stones could yield some profit.

In the distance, many people were watching, but all looked numb, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

Just then, a figure shot forward like a cannonball!

Moving like a lightning phantom, a sinister crimson blade light instantly severed one person's head.

"Holy shit!"

The onlookers were terrified, retreating repeatedly as if they'd seen a ghost.

Only when the figure struck with a second blow did they realize this wasn't some ghostly creature—it was Dorm 200's owner, Xu Lang!

"Fuck, run! Xu Lang's going to kill again!" a player screamed.

Immediately, all players scattered like frightened birds and beasts, not even returning to their dorms, running as far as they could!

The bald man dazedly turned his head, feeling his vision becoming blurry and distorted, then thud—his head fell to the ground, declaring his death.

"You are..." As the last player began to speak, a crimson blade light swept past his waist!

"I'm the director of the Civil Anti-Black Group." Xu Lang chuckled lightly.

Three people were killed in an instant, their invisible equipment revealing itself—they had all been wearing protective gear.

However, this protective gear had all been forcibly cut through!

"Tsk, forcibly breaking armor actually made the Blood Pelican Blade's durability drop by one point." Xu Lang made a clicking sound, casually shaking the long blade but failing to shake off the blood droplets.

Because the blood was being absorbed by the Blood Pelican Blade!

Fifteen lives—the quota was full!

The Blood Pelican Blade trembled lightly, suddenly emitting a resounding long cry. A vivid, wings-spread pelican extended from the hilt, its sharp beak reaching all the way to the blade tip!

Xu Lang suddenly came to his senses. He'd been so focused on killing that he'd momentarily neglected the Blood Pelican Blade's attribute stacking—putting the cart before the horse, as they say.

Immediately, he checked the Blood Pelican Blade's attributes and actually discovered it had gained a special effect!

"It's actually spirit-awakened equipment!"

Seeing the updated information, Xu Lang was instantly overjoyed.

Spirit-awakened equipment was also called hidden equipment, only unsealed when certain conditions were met, extremely, extremely rare.

Cao Yaxuan and the others arrived at this moment.

Cao Yaxuan looked at the headless corpse and said, "Xu Lang, you've already killed them all?"

"Yeah, they were too weak." Xu Lang nodded, happily saying, "Let me show you something good."

As he spoke, he shared the Blood Pelican Blade's information.

"Gasp~ It's actually the hidden equipment that Rainy Night Blade mentioned! I think he only has one of those too!" Cao Yaxuan exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Lang nodded repeatedly, delightedly saying, "And it's low-level spirit-awakened equipment, which makes it even rarer."

Low-level spirit-awakened equipment was like level five epic equipment in online games—their rarity was even higher than high-level epic equipment.

"This blade is really beautiful." Sherry examined the Blood Pelican Blade with the gaze of someone looking at a rare treasure.

"I think so too." Xu Lang couldn't put it down, then picked up the hilt and knocked on Dorm 9's door: "Su Yuan, open up, it's safe outside now."

Not safe at all... Su Yuan opened the door, bowing as he expressed thanks: "Thank you, Lang Ge."

The door had to be opened, and opened quickly.

Su Yuan was smart enough to know that a door without even a turret couldn't stop Xu Lang.

"No need to be polite." Xu Lang waved his hand. "Do you know where there are more villains like them?"

Tong Qi had briefly mentioned Sun Heng's cause of death to him.

Although the Blood Pelican Blade's passive was now full, there was still room for Blood Grudge to develop!

Su Yuan pursed his lips, looking at the smile on Xu Lang's face, truly feeling that the latter was addicted to killing.

"I know one—Shi Dali from Dorm 17. In the last game round, he raped... and then dumped her body..." Su Yuan narrated calmly.

Actually, such things had appeared as early as the first game round, but no one had done anything about it.

...

At 6 AM, Xu Lang's group returned triumphantly.

The specific harvest was that Xu Lang had stacked Blood Grudge to 15 layers.

This meant fifteen human lives!

The Mad King Dormitory Building wasn't short on bad seeds, and killing them could be considered justified!

Xu Lang returned to his dorm, occasionally still swinging the Blood Pelican Blade.

The Blood Pelican Blade became more comfortable to use the more he wielded it. A blade without a sheath should be specially used for killing people.

It was just a pity that the passive was already fully stacked.

"Alright, alright, Xu Lang, go take a shower now." Cao Yaxuan looked at Xu Lang helplessly, feeling he was like a child who'd gotten a wooden sword.

"Okay." Xu Lang nodded, saying: "Ruyan, Little Meng, you're tired too, come shower together."

Xu Ruyan pretended to be generous and nodded, while Xu Xiaomeng instantly blushed.
