Chapter 617: Leadership Comes to Visit, Rebellion! Rebellion! The Xu Family’s Live-In Son-in-Law Rebels!
The dorm room was very dark, but that didn't affect Xu Lang's ability to see everything clearly.
Moreover, when he reached the bedroom, light appeared.
A young girl lay collapsed at the bedroom entrance. She wore thin white clothes, and her skin was extraordinarily fair, glowing like moonlight.
What's more, she had a shimmering snake tail exposed outside her clothing.
"Damn, is she a half-human? No wait, maybe she's a monster girl!"
Did this type of creature have a fixed term? Forgive Xu Lang for not watching enough anime—he really didn't know how to address this.
Although Xu Lang didn't understand, he was utterly astonished.
His eyes bulged like brass bells~
Xu Lang stood motionless, activating Nightmare Eye at full power.
[Nightmare Eye - Bai Ling: Bloodline power awakening, currently in a weakened state, severely lacking in nutrients...]
Suddenly, Bai Ling's snake tail twitched, and her pale fingers trembled briefly before going limp again.
Xu Lang stepped forward, took out the Minor Holy Spring Water, and helped her drink it.
Minor Holy Spring Water restored a percentage of health. The moment Bai Ling drank it, her condition improved. Her brush-like lashes quivered slightly, then she abruptly opened her eyes.
In truth, her consciousness had already recovered, and she had sensed Xu Lang's presence. She just hadn't been able to control her body.
"You are..."
"Xu Lang." Xu Lang's voice was calm, extremely magnetic.
"Thank you. But how did you get in?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.
"Broke down the door." Xu Lang said this, noticed Bai Ling's expression shift slightly, and then continued, "I'm the Dorm Owner of Mad King Building. I can sense every player's physical condition."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling said gratefully, "Thank you for coming to save me!"
She believed that just like that?
Xu Lang was secretly amazed. His Nightmare Eye took a detour to probe Bai Ling's personality and found that she was genuinely grateful and believed he had sensed she was in danger and came specifically to rescue her.
She was way too naive and easy to fool.
"I didn't come specifically to save you." Xu Lang said as he reached out to help Bai Ling up, supporting her to the bed.
When Bai Ling's hand was touched, it quickly turned red, followed by her ears, which flushed like pink jade.
She noticed something.
Her clothes were completely soaked through, like gauze.
The Dorm Owner probably hadn't seen anything, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm.
The girl judged others by herself, naturally unaware of what the world of an experienced veteran was like. Such beauty wasn't enough to move Xu Lang.
"Thank you..." Bai Ling instinctively thanked him, then asked, "Then what are you here for?"
When she was awake, she would read the Chat Room and knew that the Dorm Owner was the highest administrator of Mad King Building, so she respected him greatly.
In the Chat Room, it was all Rainbow Farts, describing Xu Lang like the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer. Although the girl found it exaggerated, she somewhat believed it.
"Your brother is dead." Xu Lang stated this matter-of-factly, then thought about taking out the frozen head—the killer of the Snake Lord.
However, seeing Bai Ling's timid expression, he decided against it.
This girl had been too well-protected. Suddenly pulling such a move might cause her mental problems.
What Mad King Building players considered a gratifying act might be psychological terror to her.
So Xu Lang didn't even take out the Snake Lord's corpse, to avoid scaring the girl too much. The "big heroine" Lu Zhi had turned Consort Qi into a "human pig" and shown it to her son, which drove the son mentally unstable.
A pure lunatic like that would be perfect for Mad King Building.
"I know..." Bai Ling's tears streamed down. "So you came to comfort me?"
Xu Lang's mouth twitched.
How long had it been since he'd held such a "good guy" card? Ordinary players either kept their distance from him or were terrified.
Xu Lang didn't want to play the domineering CEO act and had no interest in it. He just wanted to spend more time with Bai Ling to let his Nightmare Eye see everything clearly.
"He was killed by rebels within Mad King Building, working with players from Hunter Building. I've already killed those people."
In the eyes of Mad King Building, Snake Lord and Bai Ling were definitely priority targets now.
To avoid seeming too abrupt, Xu Lang could only take this roundabout approach.
On one hand, he needed to use Nightmare Eye to probe Bai Ling's limits. On the other, he needed to maintain contact with Bai Ling. Simulation could also simulate other people—the closer the person, the less Nightmare Essence the simulation required.
He still had fifty thousand Nightmare Coins left. When the time came, he could directly simulate Bai Ling.
"Th-thank you!" Bai Ling sobbed uncontrollably.
Xu Lang stepped forward to support Bai Ling, offering her a shoulder to lean on.
At the same time, he pushed Nightmare Eye to its absolute limit, nearly smoking it out, until he finally grasped some threads.
[Nightmare Eye - Bai Ling——]
[The last remnant of the Golden Boa clan, bloodline purity extremely high. Has now atavistically reverted to Spirit Clan bloodline. Can communicate directly with the divine beast "Vengeful Dragon." Can use the Vengeful Dragon's power to decompose and disintegrate all things.]
[The Spirit Clan can be traced back to the "Wa" clan. This race has extremely high compatibility with the mysterious domain. Their blood can communicate with and channel high-ranking mysteries. Their bodies serve as high-quality anchor points and vessels for high-ranking mysteries descending into reality.]
[Spirit Clan... an ancient race from the Primordial Continent.]
[Bai Ling doesn't know what the Spirit Clan is, nor does she have any related bloodline memories.]
[Not long ago, Bai Ling accepted a mission called "Underground Palace Spirit." This is her deepest secret—it can revive the Snake Lord. Mission content... Mission rewards...]
When Xu Lang read further, he became extremely interested in the so-called Spirit Clan. Unfortunately, the information contained within Bai Ling as a medium was limited.
At the same time, he couldn't help secretly sending another warm blessing to Mad King Building.
How long had this Building been setting up this scheme?!
It couldn't be that it had made vinegar just to have dumplings with it, right?
The thought that Mad King Building had silently stuffed a big eyeball into Gluttony Purgatory and arranged for such a special existence as Bai Ling still sent a chill down his spine.
If Mad King Building truly completed its plan, it would be riding high—not only getting rid of him but also winning Building Wars.
