Chapter 649: The Sword City Has a Sword at the Emperor’s Throat, You Call Cao Cao a Loyal Minister?
Xu Lang witnessed the whole thing with his own eyes.
"Maybe we should slow down development a bit from now on."
"There aren't many pure-hearted people left in Demon King Castle."
"Besides me, there's only Chi Qingman."
Thinking of purity, Xu Lang suddenly associated it with Bai Ling.
This was genuine purity, a complete blank sheet of paper, someone who had never been online and hadn't even gone to school...
Yeah!
In short, very pure!
......
Infinite Purgatory, Hundred Ghosts Layer.
Bai Ling was being watched over by several female players. On the surface they laughed and chatted, but in her mind she kept switching between Xu Lang's face and her brother's face.
Resurrecting her brother might be bad for the dorm owner.
The dorm owner treated her so well, almost down to every last detail...
But not resurrecting her brother was absolutely impossible.
In a sense, her brother was her whole world; now that world had added the dorm owner, plus Sister Xiaoli and Sister Xiaowen.
Mad King Building wasn't as dangerous as her brother had described; everyone was harmonious and caring.
Bai Ling was too naive; anyone could walk into her heart.
And the Neighborhood Committee members knew Xu Lang cared for her especially, so anything she did got the green light, and they greeted her with smiles.
That was what gave her the illusion that Mad King Building was harmonious and loving.
"Bai Ling, what's wrong?" Yan Xiaoli asked.
"Hmm? I'm fine!"
"It looks like your worries are written all over your face." Jiang Xiaowen chimed in.
"Really?" Bai Ling forced calm and asked back.
"Really!" Yan Xiaoli nodded seriously. "Do you think you're the kind of person who can hide things well?"
At that question, Bai Ling's soul-body vividly showed several signs of blood rushing up.
Commonly known as blushing.
"What's up? Tell us." Yan Xiaoli pressed.
A rare sisterly heart-to-heart was about to happen, and she didn't want to miss it.
"It's just, it's just... if, I mean if, if you were to do something that might be bad for the dorm owner, but..." Bai Ling stammered, wracking her brain, and before she finished, Yan Xiaoli suddenly shouted.
"What?!" Yan Xiaoli realized she had been loud, then hurriedly lowered her voice. "You would do something bad to the dorm owner?"
Holy crap!
What exactly had Xu Lang sent her over here to do? Was this supposed to be a trap to draw things out?
Wasn't the agreement that she was to be protected?!
"No no no, I mean if!" Bai Ling almost fainted from fright.
Sister Xiaoli was so sharp — she should have known not to say anything.
Yan Xiaoli patted her chest and said, "I don't think that's possible. The dorm owner told us to protect you."
Bai Ling was instantly deeply moved.
Jiang Xiaowen stared at Bai Ling, thoughtful, then turned and repeated what Bai Ling had said to Xu Lang.
……
Xu Lang wore a strange expression.
Even without checking his private messages, he already knew roughly what Jiang Xiaowen had said.
Because he had been watching by chance.
He was thinking about one question.
What would happen if they lured Bai Ling into self-destructing, deliberately causing the mission to fail?
Most likely nothing serious.
Think about it: if Mad King Building had to show a card like Bai Ling, they probably didn't have many other options.
Mission failure? They could just trigger another at the crucial moment.
Right now Mad King Building was counting on Bai Ling's card to crush him, and he also wanted them to do exactly that, so he could reverse the situation and cripple Mad King Building in one move.
Mad King Building thought they would win, and Xu Lang also thought he would win.
This was a genius-level double win!
For now, no need to worry about Bai Ling.
Besides, this round the Dorm Survival Game had sent over a lot of advanced facilities, and he could smelt more Nightmare Essence.
Simulate again later and push the win rate to one hundred percent!
......
Time flew.
The Liquid Nitrogen Rainforest stage was quickly nearing its end.
"Time passes so fast." In Demon King Castle, Yinsha floated over to Xu Lang, her silver short gauze dress showing off long legs that reflected the light.
Women from Rakshasa Country liked to walk with their hips high.
So alluring.
"Heh, players from the other buildings probably don't agree, seven hours of bombardment..." Bai Sha leaned against Xu Lang, her tone carrying a bit of lingering fear.
If she hadn't been inside Demon King Castle, she dared not imagine what her current fate might be.
Of the four main dormitory buildings, ninety percent of dorms had already exploded, the main gate turrets all destroyed!
This stage was insane.
"Husband~" Yinsha brought a washed strawberry to Xu Lang's lips.
He ate it in one bite and immediately felt his mood lift considerably.
This was a nice thing looted from Amusement Park Building players in the first round.
In the Void battlefield, aside from bound items, everything else could be plundered.
Evil King Building players' Wicked Artifacts were all bound.
Xu Lang's Purgatory's Master was also bound.
As the Liquid Nitrogen Rainforest wound down, Cao Yaxuan and the others coincidentally came out of their rooms and gathered in the hall.
The next stage would be High Pressure World, the fifth stage of the Survival Contest!
Xu Lang flipped through the survivor counts.
Mad King Building was indisputably first, Evil King Building second, Heaven's Judgment Building third, Amusement Park Building fourth!
"Three hundred survivors from Evil King Building? Those guys are really tough!" Kui Zi toyed with a mechanical sphere and frowned.
"I agree." Zhen Lu nodded. "Heaven's Judgment Building only has a hundred plus survivors, Amusement Park Building only a few dozen, but they still have three hundred. That's above expectations."
"Indeed!" Chi Qingman echoed.
Han Zhixiu pursed her lips and said nothing.
But if anyone deserved the label "above expectations," it was Mad King Building.
And honestly, only one dorm in Demon King Castle was enough to be called above expectations.
To be precise, all they needed was Xu Lang.
It was baffling what Mad King Building was thinking — having such a strong member and still not satisfied, always targeting Demon King Castle.
Mad King Building: why don't you say Xu Lang is targeting me?
An employee trying to climb the ladder, wanting to be the boss's daddy, forcing the boss to give rewards, and impossible to fire — what kind of proper employee is that?!
The Sword City has a sword at the emperor's throat, you call Cao Cao a loyal minister?
Put into perspective, Mad King Building was also quite desperate.
