He hadn’t meant to screw him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of mindset—calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy might not become the strongest, but he might survive for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, nothing in life is guaranteed. Jiang Ye thanked Wan Xin for his kindness, but didn’t say whether he’d go to Apartment 0000 or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, his eyes glazed over briefly, then he suddenly asked Wan Xin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Wan, do you know what happens to Beginner Apartments like ours after they’re destroyed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would the ruins of a destroyed apartment count as an extreme Dark-type environment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apartment ruins? That…” Wan Xin thought for a moment and shook his head. “In the game, when an apartment is destroyed, it’s basically just a line of code getting deleted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the real version, I assume it’s also completely gone? I don’t know anything about apartment ruins. Who told you that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Wan Xin truly didn’t know, Jiang Ye casually made something up: “I heard it from a friend while digging around about Dark-type environments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the truth was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Ye’s Main Body, currently inside such an apartment ruin, had unexpectedly discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruin itself seemed to be an extreme Dark-type environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replica No. 5 was here, and the nurturing speed for the Shadow Puppet was incredibly fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a vague feeling that if he moved outside the ruins, into that surrounding fog,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the nurturing might be even faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his Light-type Replica had already become godlike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his equally SS-tier Dark-type Replica, its main ability was all about nurturing Shadow Puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And nurturing those puppets was key to using Shadow Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could nurture a powerful Shadow Puppet, his chances against Lin Jing would be even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jiang Ye placed a lot of importance on his Dark-type Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key thing was, the Dark-type Replica didn’t die when exposed to light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it used Shadow Curse in front of others, it would just be seen as a strong Dark-type ability—not something forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, nurturing the Shadow Puppet aside, the fog around the apartment ruins looked especially strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White-Clad Woman had even warned him specifically: stay in the apartment ruins and don’t go into the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the Main Body couldn’t take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sending a regular Replica in was clearly not worth it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of thinking, he took out the Phantom Lantern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he used it to create a Phantom Replica for Replica No. 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Phantom Replica looked like it was condensed from the shadows of the lantern light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Mirror Replica created by the Replica Reflection Mirror, the Phantom Replica had some obvious downsides—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, its appearance—people could tell at a glance it was a fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, its duration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When first formed, the Phantom Replica was more solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over time, it gradually faded until it disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a candle slowly burning down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in terms of effect, the Phantom Lantern was far inferior to the Replica Reflection Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Jiang Ye, that wasn’t really a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He typically only used these replicas for about three minutes at a time, mainly for Replica Fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye clearly felt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Phantom Replica approached the edge of the apartment ruins and got closer to the fog,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its previously solid form seemed to instantly start fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a candle suddenly burning faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, the Main Body watched and had a vague guess—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That eerie fog might have a corrosive property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that corrosiveness was even scarier than the “Blood Mist” he’d encountered before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when he thought the Phantom Replica couldn’t last much longer and would soon disappear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he saw it, seemingly aware of the danger, suddenly activate its Dark-type S-tier skill—Shadow Form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Shadow Form, the fog’s corrosive effect seemed to be weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom Replica successfully entered the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Phantom Replicas weren’t created using Survival Points, they didn’t share consciousness with Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he still had no idea what was happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was considering whether to fuse a trash-tier Replica into it, then use that trash Replica’s vision to observe the fog…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was thinking that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the burning Phantom Lantern suddenly went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom Replica that had entered the fog had finally perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fog really was like a forbidden zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye also felt more certain than ever—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fog-shrouded area was the ultimate extreme Dark-type environment, the perfect place to nurture Shadow Puppets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering whether there was another way to get the Dark-type Replica into the fog,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he saw a wisp of black smoke slowly rise from the cracked ground of the apartment ruins, right where he was standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye sensed it and didn’t flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the black smoke took the form of the Blackened Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runaway Blackened Replica had finally returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was just thinking about discussing fog exploration strategies with the Blackened Replica,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when he saw it raise its right hand, holding a black glass bead about the size of an eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?” Jiang Ye asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Blackened Replica could answer, a voice came directly from the glass bead—it was the White-Clad Woman: “It’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye looked even more surprised. “You? Why do you look like that now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black glass bead looked perfectly ordinary, but the voice inside was clearly speechless: “I didn’t turn into this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I placed a strand of my consciousness inside the bead so I can contact you remotely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for me, I’m neither inside the bead nor back in Apartment 1010.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ohhh!” Jiang Ye nodded repeatedly. “So this is like a phone call? That’s actually pretty convenient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” The White-Clad Woman silently thought: convenient, my a*!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wisp of consciousness she split off wasn’t just for chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key thing was, if she ever died,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as long as her Death Priority wasn’t higher than A-tier,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was a chance she could resurrect through this strand of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the resurrection process was extremely complex and required a lot of resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single strand of consciousness definitely wasn’t enough on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly, she didn’t want that day to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she was being very cautious—she’d stayed far away and still hadn’t returned to Apartment 1010.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, there was no need to explain all this to Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I left you this contact method because I wanted to talk about how the appearance of a Light-type Ability user might affect the mission to kill the Apartment Boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice came again from the glass bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could get into it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye cut in first: “Funny you mention that. I actually had a question about the mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead, ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye hesitated a bit, but since it was just a contact bead and she wasn’t physically here,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he grew bolder and asked bluntly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember when I accepted the mission, the announcement said there was no penalty, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So even if I don’t do the mission, it’s not really a problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” The bead was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye kept pushing, bold as ever: “Can I just abandon the mission altogether?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” Still silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, the White-Clad Woman’s calm voice finally came through: “Of course you can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was inwardly delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, the White-Clad Woman’s voice came out of the glass bead again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This mission never had any punishment to begin with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Including killing the Apartment Administrator—even without the mission, you can still kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But do you know what the difference is between accepting the mission and not accepting it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the White-Clad Woman’s voice turned gentle inside the bead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The difference lies in—awareness and attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doomsday Apartment is, at its core, a cruel place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially those who’ve made it to the rank of Apartment Boss—they’ve weathered countless storms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People like that have ‘eliminate all threats at the root’ carved into their bones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And even without that mindset, they never need a reason to kill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can, of course, choose not to do the mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But do you think saying you won’t do it means the Apartment Boss will just let you go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soft voice carried a trace of mockery and ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, from the moment you accepted the mission, I didn’t think you’d live long enough to even meet the Apartment Boss face-to-face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The trap laid by the Apartment Administrator was just an appetizer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can tell you straight up—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it weren’t for that freak Light-type suddenly showing up, you’d probably already be dead from one of the Apartment Boss’s setups.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye believed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he understood even better than she did—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light-type’s appearance had been a cover to protect his trapped Main Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So by now, he was pretty much certain—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the Main Body had been trapped was the Apartment Boss’s doing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant, his conflict with the Apartment Boss was already at a life-or-death impasse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he died at the hands of the Apartment Boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he killed the Apartment Boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the “simple” truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye sighed inwardly but accepted it calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her line of reasoning, he speculated, “Just now, you said you wanted to tell me how the appearance of the Light-type affects the mission to kill the Apartment Boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he’d accepted the situation and dropped the idea of giving up, the White-Clad Woman returned to the topic and got straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The appearance of the Light-type has both positive and negative effects on your mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, the bad—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of the Light-type’s presence, the probability of the Apartment Boss showing up in the Beginner Apartment drops significantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Basically, if he doesn’t appear there, you won’t have a chance to kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The good part is—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely because the Boss won’t show up, your survival rate during the Light-type’s active days goes up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jiang Ye had already analyzed that much himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for her to point it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling the White-Clad Woman wasn’t done saying what she really meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he stayed quiet and waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after going through the “impact” part, she suddenly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s also a more critical effect—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s about getting the Kill-on-Sight Order reward, or teaming up with the Light-type…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your chances of killing the Apartment Boss go way up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But either option is hard to pull off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plenty of top players are eyeing that Kill-on-Sight reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Apartment 0000 opens, old players are likely to get involved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And most importantly, the Light-type himself is extremely dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trying to take down such a powerful opponent in this kind of competition? The difficulty is sky-high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teaming up with the Light-type? Even harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this point, a Light-type Ability user is like a frightened bird—probably doesn’t even dare to show their face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would he team up with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought, Because he’s my Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what really caught his attention was something else, so he asked quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just said, once Apartment 0000 opens, old players will show up?? Is that for real?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White-Clad Woman sounded uncertain: “Usually, Apartment 0000 opens on Day 8—that’s also when old players make their appearance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of early access situation, I can’t say for sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since this Light-type showed up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d say the old players are dying to show up early and take him out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that means…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bloodbath about to erupt in Apartment 0000 might be even more intense than what Wan Xin described!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xin’s choice to lay low really was a wise one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the White-Clad Woman’s voice came again from the glass bead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Between going for the Kill-on-Sight reward and teaming up with the Light-type, which option do you plan to choose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well…” Jiang Ye hesitated, “I’m not really sure yet—guess I’ll play it by ear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the White-Clad Woman replied firmly: “I came this time specifically to ask you for your decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether you choose to kill the Light-type or work with him will determine which of my ‘old friends’ I go looking for next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old friends?” Jiang Ye was surprised. “You mean other Reincarnated Eerie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, even among Reincarnated Eerie, there are factions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” The glass bead fell silent for a moment. “Not really factions—more like personal beliefs and philosophies that shape our relationships.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye sensed that she didn’t want to go deeper into the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he could tell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had accepted the mission to kill the Apartment Boss long ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the White-Clad Woman hadn’t taken it seriously before—almost as if she didn’t think he could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Light-type’s appearance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly made her take interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was even willing to help him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching out to her old friends…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… she even knew the Light-type’s Reincarnated Player identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, right? Aren’t Dark-type and Light-type supposed to be mortal enemies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t sure, and didn’t press. He just gave his answer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll choose to team up with the Light-type.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This path looks a little easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Light-type probably wants to kill the Apartment Boss too, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White-Clad Woman: “That’s true. This choice has a slightly lower difficulty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from her tone, she seemed pretty satisfied with his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, Jiang Ye asked: “By the way, if I kill the Apartment Boss with the Light-type and then betray him and kill him too… would I still get the Kill-on-Sight reward?”\u003C\u002Fp>",2406,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","70bd4c8131ebf9c3c2fc56df3c1875599edf53f3a059da9dc2612ca88726502c","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-102","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-300",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
