Chapter 480: Radio Station, Shadow Prison, Blood Disaster!

At this moment, everyone present was a little bewildered.

Seeing that, Yang Qi took the initiative and suggested,

"Let's sit down and talk."

The middle-aged policeman actually wanted to stay and listen, after all this was the legendary Anomaly Management Bureau, but he still had official duties to carry out, so he chose to leave early.

Yang Qi sat down on the sofa, and Yun Qian Yue sat beside him.

Chen Jianbin and Su Qing each brought over a chair and sat down, wanting to hear what was going on.

After listening to Yang Qi's explanation, they couldn't help but cast puzzled looks at him.

Su Qing was silent for a moment, then spoke,

"Are you saying that if someone has affection for you, then that person is very likely a non-human? Isn't that a bit too absolute..."

"That's why I said very likely. People's tastes are all over the place. It's normal for someone to like this type and fall in love at first sight.

But at least in this case, my judgment was correct, wasn't it?"

He glanced sideways at Yun Qian Yue as he finished speaking,

"Can you show me your transform device?"

Yun Qian Yue hesitated almost not at all, and pulled a pink transform device out of her small backpack.

Yang Qi looked at the device and saw the dialogue box on it:

[I'm sorry, it's my fault. If only I had made the wish earlier...]

I see.

It looked like the entity currently occupying Yun Qian Yue's body was the transform device, while the real Yun Qian Yue was inside the device.

After mulling it over for a moment, he asked,

"Can you let her out?"

For the first time, Yun Qian Yue refused his request,

"No. If she comes out, she'll break."

At first Su Qing and Chen Jianbin didn't fully understand the exchange between them, but gradually they seemed to realize something.

Pointing at the transform device, Chen Jianbin excitedly said in a tone like Conan solving a case,

"I get it. The real Yun Qian Yue is in the transform device, and the one controlling this body is actually the device. So Wish Vessels really have souls? Then my Knight's Belt..."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Su Qing complained, then suddenly smacked the back of Chen Jianbin's head,

"Alright, quiet. Listen to what Yang Qi says first."

Yang Qi had begun to suspect what Yun Qian Yue meant by "break."

From the dialogue box's content, the real Yun Qian Yue was very likely trapped in a state of intense self-blame,

perhaps regretting that she couldn't save her mother.

If she had transformed earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Under these circumstances, letting the real Yun Qian Yue come out might not be a good idea, because as a player she still had to go through the dungeon run's trials.

It's already the next day, and Yun Qian Yue can still stand here peacefully, which means the transform device must have helped her complete the Newbie Trial.

Thinking practically, keeping the real Yun Qian Yue inside the device to sort out her emotions, gradually mature, and letting the device handle the dungeon run to give her time to grow is the most rational and correct approach.

Provided the transform device is trustworthy and has no intention of supplanting Yun Qian Yue.

After all, not everyone would be willing to trust a non-human.

After Yang Qi shared his judgment with Su Qing and Chen Jianbin, the two of them fell silent at the same time.

From a rational standpoint, it's definitely better to have the transform device face the dungeon run than a fourteen-year-old girl.

But what if, over time, the real Yun Qian Yue gets stuck inside the device and can't come out?

Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help scratching her head in distress, and finally chose the smartest course of action:

call the director and ask for his opinion.

After all, the girl was brought here by the director; he surely had a solution.

The call was connected quickly.

After Su Qing explained the whole situation, Wang Hao sounded shocked,

"What do you mean the little girl I kept company with all night yesterday wasn't human?"

Hearing that, Su Qing immediately couldn't hold back,

"Director Wang, you didn't know?"

"If I had known, I would have called you in advance! Last night was too busy. After I collected Yun Qian Yue's information, I had Old Pang bring her to the bureau, and then we escorted Lin Weier on her way."

Su Qing pressed her fingers to her forehead in helplessness at that,

what kind of makeshift operation were they running here?

Well, the team had only been established for less than two months, so of course it was makeshift.

In the end, Wang Hao left a message saying he'd handle it when he returned and then hung up.

A helpless smile appeared on Su Qing's face; she really had run out of options.

Given the current situation, doing nothing might actually be the correct choice.

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Yang Qi lower his head, stare into "Yun Qian Yue"'s eyes, and then ask,

"One last question, what's your name?"

"Yun Qian Yue" cocked her head slightly, momentarily confused.

Wasn't the answer to that question already known?

After thinking for a moment, she answered,

"Yun Qian Yue."

Yang Qi shook his head when he heard that,

"No, not that. I want to know your name."

"Yun Qian Yue" didn't expect him to ask such a question. In his eyes she should be a device, so why would a human ask a device's name?

When she lifted her head, she met a pair of earnest eyes.

The instant she saw those eyes she understood.

The human before her neither regarded her as a device nor as a menace, but as a

"peer."

Strange as it was, a human actually considered a non-human to be a peer.

Newly born, she couldn't understand why he would do so, and she could only answer instinctively,

"Luluka, Magical Girl Luluka, that seems to be my name."

Hearing that, Yang Qi ruffled her head,

"That's a very good name. Luluka, could you promise me one thing?"

"What?"

"Protect the child in your care. She is my peer too."

Feeling the unwavering look in his eyes, Luluka nodded lightly and then replied,

"Okay."

Watching this, Su Qing probably understood why non-humans might be fond of Yang Qi.

.......

Because Wang Hao hadn't returned today, after the three discussed it they decided to temporarily let Luluka and Su Qing stay for a while until Wang Hao returned.

Although Luluka was quite unwilling, she accepted after Yang Qi persuaded her.

After returning home,

Yang Qi, after a long time, opened the game system.

He planned to start the next dungeon run.

    Tulu stared at the Beast-Head Swordsman, breathing heavily, but in the end he still did not strike.



    Not because he was merciful, nor because he had a good temper, but because he felt a lethal sense of danger from that Beast-Head Swordsman.



    Danger makes people calm.



    “Everyone, can we live here?” The Beast-Head Swordsman turned to look at the nearby players, his orange-yellow eyes finally locking on Zheng Kai as he spoke softly.



    Staying in this spot, he kept feeling like someone was watching him.



    There was definitely an existence here that could threaten him.



    More and more players gathered, and some had already pulled out rifles.



    Tulu and the Beast-Head Swordsman were surrounded in the middle...



    The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any second.



    If the Mad King Community Committee weren’t present, they would have started fighting already; right now the other players were waiting for the “official” action.



    Everyone’s gaze fell onto Zheng Kai.



    He was the most authoritative person here.



    “Yes...” Zheng Kai blinked in surprise, nodded slowly, and said, “Go find the dorms according to the numbers on your keys.”



    “Brother Kai!”



    Some players gasped; they didn’t understand why Zheng Kai would do that.



    These two extraordinary beings didn’t look weak, but players were best at ganging up.



    Even if people lacked private friendships, when they cooperated their tacit understanding was unparalleled—after all, everyone had been infighting for so long and knew each other’s fighting styles.



    Also, when pioneering encountered danger, hostile dorms cooperating wasn’t uncommon.



    “This is the Dorm Owner’s order.” Zheng Kai waved his hand and suppressed further discussion.



    Actually he himself wondered why Xu Lang had let these two go.



    ...



    What else could it be?



    Of course, because Zheng Kai couldn’t beat him!



    Xu Lang always appreciated powerful residents.



    They were all his troops.



    What the Mad King Building played with was real wilderness; that Gate of Ten Thousand Lies gave him an odd familiarity, some symbol traits seeming extremely similar to that Black-Clothed Jester he had met in the Netherworld.



    “The Black-Clothed Jester was made into a gate! And it became a tool the Mad King Building uses to recruit players from the Blood Mist World and even other worlds!” Xu Lang guessed boldly.



    The Twilight Building had already been devoured. The Mad King Building swallowing a Black-Clothed Jester wasn’t inconceivable.



    [Zheng Kai: Dorm Owner, why did you let those two outsiders go?]



    Zheng Kai was very sensible; since Xu Lang fully took control of the Mad King Building, he no longer called him Lang Ge, publicly or privately.



    After all, he didn’t have much personal rapport with Xu Lang. If he got too arrogant, one day Xu Lang might be in a bad mood and cut him down.



    [Xu Lang: Those two aren’t even monsters. Killing them wouldn’t drop loot, and more players like them will appear in the future.]



    [Zheng Kai: Understood, I’ll tell the others not to provoke them!]



    When Zheng Kai’s side of the chat ended, Su Yuan sent a private message again.



    [Su Yuan: Brother Lang, should we collect those two outsiders’ identities? They’ve become Dorm Owners of dorms 20 and 18.]



    [Xu Lang: No need. Just private-message them the community rules.]



    [Su Yuan: What about the move-in gift pack?]



    [Xu Lang: Handle it as you see fit.]



    [Su Yuan: Should we suppress them a bit? They probably don’t understand Dorm Survival Game rules.]



    [Xu Lang: My ambitions aren’t that petty. Besides, Lone Wanderer will probably come to join soon.]



    [Su Yuan: Brother Lang, brilliant!]



    “Xu Lang, is something happening outside?” Wang Yazhi climbed down from her bed, tying her dark hair into a ponytail with a simple ribbon as she asked.



    “Yeah, new players have arrived, and they’re monster players.” Xu Lang replied.



    New monster players?



    Wang Yazhi looked confused. Recruitment of monster players seemed something only certain special dorm buildings could do, like the Twilight Building.



    “Are they beginner monster players?” she asked uncertainly.



    “Yeah, the kind that haven’t played a single match yet, non-human.” Xu Lang explained briefly, and Wang Yazhi understood.



    The other girls woke up one after another and learned the news.



    Everyone had different opinions, and while they discussed, the radio suddenly crackled to life.



    “Ke-ke-ke-ke, new arrivals again.”



    A strange, hoarse voice came from the radio.



    Xu Xiaomeng lay next to the radio, sticking out her tongue at everyone as they looked toward the sound.



    The Blood Mist Mutual Aid Society was more low-end; Xu Lang and the others rarely went there now because with their current knowledge they weren’t gaining information so much as teaching newcomers.



    Golden Dawn was high-end, but its activation time was too late.



    Both had drawbacks, so they had been trying to find a new radio station, and that task mainly fell to homebound Xu Xiaomeng.



    [“Shadow Prison” Radio]



    [Current online: 1]



    [Fan Wujiao continuously speaking...]



    “Shadow Prison, I think I’ve heard of that building.” Xu Lang looked at the radio and said calmly.



    Fan Wujiao: “You’ve heard of us, and yet you still don’t hurry over and leave.”



    “Fine.” Xu Lang answered.



    Fan Wujiao: “Hey hey hey, you’re really leaving!”



    Letting Zero Number walk away was only to provoke the other party’s contrarian instincts; otherwise they would have been kicked outright.



    Senior Sister Red Butterfly crossed her legs and said, “We’re righteous people, we have nothing to say to you breeding-dorm players.”



    Fan Wujiao: “What a beautiful voice, decent charm value... We could exchange information. This station hasn’t seen newcomers in a long time, I squat here every day and I’m numb.”



    “You have ten seconds to hold my attention.” Xu Lang said coolly.



    So little time?!



    Fan Wujiao suddenly felt like the weaker side.



    No choice—if someone saw through you, you could only act defensively.



    Fan Wujiao: “If you can connect to our station, it means our dorm buildings aren’t far apart. We could maybe meet in person.”



    “You talk too much.” Xu Lang was about to cut off the radio.



    However, Fan Wujiao’s next sentence stopped him in his tracks.



    Fan Wujiao: “Do you know what a Blood Calamity is? A Blood Calamity is coming!”



    Hearing those two words, everyone’s expressions stiffened.



    Blood Calamity is a natural disaster that can threaten dormitory buildings. They had only heard rumors before and had never encountered one.



    Fan Wujiao: “Shadow Prison Building has a dorm trait that can reveal major disasters in advance. The Blood Calamity will arrive in seven days, and it’s very likely to be a C-level Blood Calamity!”



    Cao Yaxuan made frantic eyes at Xu Lang, wanting to speak, and he nodded.



    “Why are you telling us this?” Cao Yaxuan asked immediately.



    Fan Wujiao: “Damn, why do all your voices sound so good?”



    After that exclamation, Fan Wujiao continued.



    “Blood Calamity grows. Everything it destroys becomes its nourishment. It grows from an initial E-level up to S-level!”



    “And dormitory buildings are a huge boon for it!”



    “If other dorm buildings fall, the Blood Calamity will strengthen significantly!”



    “And we’re all on the Titan Ruins map. A C-level Blood Calamity will definitely affect all dorms within Titan Ruins. Shadow Prison Building doesn’t want to suffer bad luck along with you trash dorms!”
