Chapter 212 Monster Attack, Skills Unusable?

The players in the corridor were scared out of their wits.

The person who had applied the ox gall tears turned even paler, stumbling back and nearly falling over.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" his roommates asked urgently, every one of them on edge.

Before he could answer, a piercing "creak" echoed from the Dormitory door, sounding like nails scratching on wood or sharp metal grinding against it.

Immediately after, a scalp-numbing ghostly wail pierced through the door panel, reaching their eardrums as if coming from the depths of hell.

[main door durability -5!]

[main door durability -5!]

System notifications rang out one after another.

"This is bad! They're attacking the Dormitory door!"

Someone cried out, their voice trembling noticeably.

The others in the Dormitory also seemed to be paralyzed with fear.

Cold sweat poured down their bodies, their hands and feet grew cold, and even moving a single step became exceptionally difficult.

Fear surged like a tide, leaving their minds blank, completely unsure of how to respond.

They didn't notice that their spirit attribute was slowly decreasing at a rate barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Among them, the player who had applied the ox gall tears looked particularly ghastly, his body swaying as if he might collapse at any moment.

The same scene was unfolding in every Dormitory building of Jinghai University, specifically in the rooms closest to the ends of the corridors.

This continued until the leaders of each floor anxiously contacted these Observers via the Private Chat Channel to inquire about the situation.

[Private Chat · Xu Feng: What's the situation? What do the Supernatural Entities look like? Do they have any special abilities?]

[Private Chat · Wang Meng: Brothers on the Third Floor, report the situation quickly!]

Messages flooded in, but the Observers' reactions had become abnormally sluggish.

They stared dizzily at the private chats, their minds feeling like mush.

"Ah... it's... it's white... the eyes... the eyes are pitch black..." a player in this Dormitory stammered back, his voice thick with tears.

"They... they're scratching the door... the sound... it's horrible..."

As they replied, the continuous scratching and ghostly wails from outside the door still echoed in their ears.

[Private Chat · Xu Feng: Alright, have another player who hasn't applied ox gall tears come and report! Watch the Dormitory door's durability; if it's close to zero, repair it immediately! But don't worry too much, the Supernatural Entity won't get in that easily!]

Under Xu Feng's orders, another player summoned his courage and, with trembling hands, cautiously leaned toward the Peephole.

Just then,

the scratching and ghostly wails outside the Dormitory door suddenly stopped.

The door's durability ceased to drop.

The system notification sounds also fell silent.

"The sound stopped..." The player breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his companions blankly. "Is it... is it because they felt they couldn't break the Dormitory door quickly, so they left?"

His roommate beside him was just about to relax his tense nerves.

He took a deep breath,

seeing nothing but dim darkness.

It seemed most likely they were gone...

Just as this thought arose, in the next instant!!

"Creak—"

A scratching sound, more violent and piercing than ever before, suddenly exploded!

Following it was an even more shrill and terrifying ghostly wail, as if countless vengeful spirits were roaring outside the door!

Boom!

The six people in the Dormitory were instantly startled, their hair standing on end. They cried out in terror and scrambled backward.

However.

[main door durability -10!]

[main door durability -10!]

The durability was dropping frantically at an even faster rate!

Their faces instantly turned pale, and they seemed completely paralyzed by fear, their bodies stiff and unable to move.

Until—

[Warning! main door durability is about to reach zero!! Please repair it immediately!]

The cold notification finally made the player with the highest spirit and intelligence attributes snap back to his senses.

"Quick! Repair the door!" he almost roared.

The other two finally snapped out of it and rushed over in a panic, trying to take materials from their backpacks to repair it.

However, they seemed so flustered by fear that as they tremblingly took the materials out of their backpacks, they fumbled and dropped them on the floor...

They also didn't notice that their spirit attribute was still continuously decreasing...

...

4th Floor - 404.

Su Ze held the mirror of surveillance in his hand, his expression grim.

On the screen was the footage of the corridor outside the Dormitory.

He saw the group of Supernatural Entities dressed in white with pitch-black eye sockets, emerging group after group from the black mist...

They were using their pairs of unnervingly snow-white hands to frantically scratch and tear at the Dormitory door.

Simultaneously, they emitted shrill shrieks; even through the screen, the sound made one feel irritable.

Su Ze's brow furrowed.

He switched scenes to check the corridors on other floors.

In the footage, Supernatural Entities were attacking dormitories; without exception, the dormitories being targeted were those on the edges near the ends of the corridors.

Su Ze ordered in the Public Channel: "Their Dormitory won't last long. Initiate Kiting Tactics."

Instantly, every floor began to take action.

But Su Ze noticed something was wrong.

[Private Chat · Wang Meng: Boss, the situation is bad! Kiting Tactics are ineffective!!]

[Private Chat · Xu Feng: Boss, I had the players in the middle try to kite monsters. They opened a crack in their doors, hoping to lure the Supernatural Entities away to spread the fire, but these Supernatural Entities were completely unmoved. They're dead set on attacking just one Dormitory!]

[Private Chat · Qiao Yunfeng: Boss, at this rate, the durability is dropping too fast! They won't be able to hold out for long!]

Reports flooded into Su Ze's private chat interface one after another.

Su Ze's face darkened.

He looked at the footage in the mirror of surveillance.

These Supernatural Entities seemed to turn a blind eye to everything around them, focusing solely on attacking the Dormitory door in front of them.

They tore at the door panels with resentment and persistence, emitting sharp shrieks.

"These Supernatural Entities seem to have a characteristic: once they target a Dormitory, they will keep attacking it..."

This wasn't good news; it meant Kiting Tactics were completely ineffective, and the pressure couldn't be spread out...

Su Ze narrowed his eyes and gave an order.

"Pass down the order: all members of the attacked dormitories, immediately try using the Spirit Guarding Incantation!"

Immediately after, Su Ze handed the mirror of surveillance to Jiang Yuwan.

"Keep a constant eye on the information from each floor and watch for my messages!"

Saying this, Su Ze prepared to head out, but at that moment, more bad news arrived.

[Private Chat · Wang Meng: Boss, something's wrong! They can't use those two skills anymore!]

[Private Chat · Xu Feng: Boss, some players have found that their spirit attribute has dropped drastically, making them unable to use the Spirit Guarding Incantation. Some have even mysteriously fainted!!]
