Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger

Demon King Castle, Xu Lang looked bewildered.

The Rakshasa Incarnation lost connection, completely dead.

Such a powerful hook couldn't even catch the mysterious being, yet it still chose to kill the Rakshasa Incarnation.

Really strange.

Holding that question, Xu Lang manifested two Rakshasa Incarnations in succession and entered the Black Vortex.

Continuously releasing Rakshasa Incarnations drained some of his stamina, but fortunately his self-recovery was strong enough to handle it.

…

"Again? You're interrupting my nap!" The mysterious being sounded annoyed.

Its anger carried lethal force, causing the Rakshasa Incarnation to be killed even faster.

At the instant the Rakshasa Incarnation died, the second Rakshasa Incarnation leapt out of the hole and connected to the Nightmare Eye's probing path.

Bang!

The next moment, the second Rakshasa Incarnation exploded!

…

"Damn it, so close!" Xu Lang cursed under his breath, palms coming together. Blood Qi surged, and two Rakshasa Incarnations reappeared.

…

Bang!

Inside the Underground Palace, both Rakshasa Incarnations detonated. The mysterious being looked at their slowly vanishing corpses and realized it might have encountered a bit of trouble.

It carefully set its nap aside, placed the plane to one side, put its hands on its hips, and stared at the hole.

Sure enough, before long, another Rakshasa Incarnation burst from the opening and charged at it with a drawn blade.

The attack melted before the mysterious being like cream, completely nullified. The two were not even in the same dimension.

…

Xu Lang had used this dirty trick before.

He had died and died again when trying to obtain the Taleblade Demon Box.

After dying repeatedly, he finally grasped a bit of useful information.

[Nightmare Eye · Mysterious Being: Fate will incline toward high-ranking mysterious beings before it, causing them to instinctively make the correct choice]

Xu Lang finally understood why the mysterious being didn't kill Zhang Sanfeng and the others but insisted on killing him.

Goddamn it!

What kind of hook is this that cancels stats monsters? Mindless C?

All other tricks failed. Now he could only brute-force it!

Time flew, and night came in the blink of an eye.

After the Blood Immortal Incarnation crazily threw itself to death, Xu Lang finally obtained ten complete and useful pieces of information.

[Nightmare Eye · Mysterious Being: Name Agatha, one of the Mad King's retainers, original form female]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Dual attributes above five digits, three core skills: "Nameless Form", "Sincere Heart", "Black Goat's Apostle"]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Personality variable, hates boring things, likes interesting things, favorite activity is sleeping, dream is to sleep forever]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Guards the Mad King's bedchamber, awakened by the Mad King's decree; Mad King's decree — kill special players who disrupt the Mad King Building's game progression]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Agatha forgot why the Mad King fell asleep]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Due to Mad King Building's constraints, cannot leave the Mad King's bedchamber area]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: No malice, no benevolence, merely executing a mission; upon discovering players disrupting game progression she will inevitably kill them; the Mad King Building's normal game progression is total player annihilation]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: No specific preferences, no favored character models, no special family, romance, friendship, or archenemy plots]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Likes sleeping because she can rest continuously]

[Nightmare Eye · Agatha: Between sleep and the Mad King's decree, she will complete the Mad King's decree first]

After discovering Agatha's attributes and skills, Xu Lang felt a little numb.

Dual attributes above five digits—hit that with your head?

Unless he raised the door's attributes, then used turrets to grind it down.

That's the usual player method against bosses.

But the problem was her dual attributes were above five digits, not just five digits… head-on confrontation would be truly unwise.

So Xu Lang looked for a workaround, trying to find out why Agatha would break out of her chamber to come after him, and he felt more stunned.

No solution!

Once Agatha left the Mad King's bedchamber, she would definitely come to kill him!

Then Xu Lang shifted his thinking, considering exploiting Agatha's character flaws. After all, the Stats Monster Ghost Official that players couldn't overpower before could be bribed, maybe this would be the same.

The answer came back cold and clinical!

This was a perfect killing monster designed specifically for itself: an elder Nascent-stage cultivator awakened only to kill a Minor Qi-stage cultivator.

That was unbearable.

With such a level of mystery, Xu Lang even feared she might pull him out from the Grave Pasture.

"Let Floating Life Play go sacrifice a wave first, then simulate whether reviving the Scarlet Shepherd can dodge Agatha's pursuit. If it can, have Zhen Lu and the others temporarily move to other dorms!"

"If I die, Agatha has a chance to keep sleeping!"

"If I'm forced to die, then I can only activate Epitaph!"

"No, no, I missed something!"

"Why can Agatha come out to mess with me? Why does the Mad King Building have the right to put out such a monster!?"

Xu Lang's mind raced, and suddenly a flash of insight revealed a blind spot.

Damn it!

If the dormitory could so casually kill someone, that was unreasonable.

Hadn't his cooperation with the Building always been pretty pleasant?

Uh… the dormitory's purpose seemed to be killing players, while occasionally cultivating them. If the dormitory truly had two simultaneous wills, then in the Mad King Building the will to kill players was clearly dominant; otherwise it wouldn't repeatedly launch building-annihilation-level games.

Xu Lang felt his thoughts were in utter chaos, and since the matter touched on various Nightmare Lord sequence abilities, he couldn't easily communicate this to Cao Yaxuan and the others.

Things had gotten complicated.

Pressure off the charts, brother!

A little scraped skin and Xu Lang already felt like someone might kill him. Now, discovering this hidden gray rhino, he was genuinely anxious.

"What would other buildings do in this situation?"

"They'd have the whole building brainstorm together, then all players take on the monster together!"

"Against Agatha, that won't work. Others can at best give ideas."

After much thought, Xu Lang could only think of one possibility that avoided using Epitaph.

That was if Agatha, like the Frost Ghost King, came into battle wearing shackles—when an over-model monster appears, the dormitory would suppress it.

But that would be like entrusting fate to the enemy's mercy, which is stupid.

In the end, Xu Lang gave up thinking.

Simulation!

He had to simulate!

Why exactly did Agatha come out, and what state was she in at that time—those two points had to be clarified.

Next, Xu Lang continued sending Rakshasa Incarnations to gather intel, and he grew bolder in his approach, for example stuffing some Tales into the Rakshasa Incarnations.

The results were mixed.

Good news: the fundamental rule that Tales could not die still held true.

Bad news: being undead did not mean invincible.

Agatha kneaded the Tales like dough—she could not only knead them, she could process them into pastries and swallow them whole without so much as a speck of powder.
