During that period, Huang Bo might change apartments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounded reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemed logical enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye grew even more suspicious deep down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he switch apartments so easily in a short time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what Wan Xin said, it takes at least a full day for an ordinary player to get through the Void Mirror Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Ouyang and Lin Jing knew that the effect of Light and Shadow Escape allowed free movement within the Void Mirror Palace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had a strong feeling something was off, so he asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, and you said Huang Bo might change apartments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what if he runs off during the White-Clad Woman’s attack on the Apartment Administrator? Wouldn’t sealing the apartment be useless then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang quickly explained this too:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that’s where luck comes in—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Best-case scenario, she kills the Administrator quickly and quietly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hopefully we’re not unlucky enough for Huang Bo to make his escape at that exact moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, we can have a few people stationed at the rooftop to stop him in case he tries to flee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sounded like another reasonable explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye became even more convinced something was wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were putting in all this effort, and then leaving it up to luck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was way too careless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for guarding the rooftop to prevent escape—that made even less sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the Light-type Player escaped from Apartment 9999, weren’t Wang Chengjin, Li Junqi, Jiang Wenhan, and Sha Bo—the so-called Four Heavenly Kings—already guarding the rooftop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Light and Shadow Escape was so fast that none of them could stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If guarding the rooftop actually worked, why bother sealing the apartment at all? Just have people watch the top floor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So clearly, both of Ouyang’s explanations were flawed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s mind was full of speculation and doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t ask anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the only reason he was this suspicious…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was because he himself was the Light-type Player. He knew which apartment he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he asked too much, it would only arouse Ouyang’s suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, the contract was finalized by Ouyang right under Jiang Ye’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides reviewed it multiple times and added some final details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything checked out, Ouyang signed and pressed his palm seal first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he handed it over to Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye didn’t take it immediately. He just watched him quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang let out an “oh” and took out his Survival Jade Token, operating it for a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, there was a knock at Jiang Ye’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang went to open it himself, and this time, Lin Jing walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he welcomed Lin Jing inside, Ouyang smiled at Jiang Ye and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A three-party contract needs all three of us to sign, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t respond, just locked eyes with Lin Jing as he walked in slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing was still wearing that black tactical coat, exuding an upright, commanding aura, like a real big shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked at Jiang Ye, his eyes were somewhat conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds of eye contact, he spoke first: “You killed Wang Chengjin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, his tone casual: “Didn’t you see it in the hallway?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing was silent for a moment, then frowned and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did. That ability looked like Fleshweaving… but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Jiang Ye another complicated look. “But I don’t sense that energy from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s not that it’s absent—it’s there, but only sometimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had a good idea what he was puzzled about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The method used to kill Wang Chengjin was indeed the Blackened Replica’s Fleshweaving skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a Glyph Pattern Ability Lin Jing also possessed, so it made sense he recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye hadn’t fused with the Blackened Replica at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his body didn’t carry the Blackened Replica’s energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s probably what Lin Jing was confused about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye had no obligation to explain anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled and brushed it off, “What aura? Light-type aura? Dark-type aura? What, do I look like Ultraman with transformation powers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing also knew that in a lawless place like this, probing other people’s secrets was taboo, so he dropped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally shifted his attention to the contract, skimmed through it quickly, and agreed to sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, all three of them completed the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lin Jing handed Jiang Ye a black ribbon. “This is the deposit. Tie it around your forehead for two minutes to activate two hours of S-tier Skill use.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t trust it, you can have the White-Clad Woman inspect it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye accepted the ribbon and found it wasn’t pure black—it was a deep crimson, so dark it looked nearly black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately stored it in the Replica Shared Space, and had Replica No. 5, located with his Main Body, retrieve it from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it was out, he first had the Blackened Replica verify the item. Once confirmed, Jiang Ye put it on his main body’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the S-tier Skill only lasted two hours, best saved for a critical moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, Jiang Ye didn’t want to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already made up his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the S-tier Skill was strong enough, he’d go claim his Personal Instance right away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But honestly, there was no way to predict what S-tier Skill it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d previously used a Skill Scroll and ended up with something as basic as Detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was clearly a generic skill—not something derived from his X-tier Infinite Replication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, S-tier Skills probably wouldn’t be that basic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was still a chance it might be something not very useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in those two minutes while waiting for the ribbon to activate, Jiang Ye was pretty nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his Replica No. 2 continued dealing with Lin Jing and Ouyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had already been settled in the contract, so the two simply reminded him to act quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They added Jiang Ye as a friend via Survival Jade Token to stay in contact, then left his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them headed straight back to the rooftop of Apartment 9999.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they arrived, they bumped into a poor sap crossing over from another apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Fan’s eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly checked the member list in the Apartment Group Chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then leaned over to whisper in Lin Jing’s ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Aoliang, Level 8.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing instinctively frowned but hadn’t even had time to say anything before—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That poor sap swaggered over with a cocky grin and said to the two of them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you whispering about behind Grandpa’s back, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re trying to find my name on the member list, you might as well just check the Apartment Ranking Board. I’m right at the top—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That arrogant attitude instantly vanished, replaced by sheer terror. He even blurted out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy sht?! Lin Jing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And wait—Jiang Wenhan, Li Junqi, and Sha Bo too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hll?? What the hell is this?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t these guys all top dogs from the War God Ranking?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what’s up with this ranking board? Everyone’s Level 10?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—wait, after me there’s that Level 8 Wan Xin, and then Level 3 Jiang Ye…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Li Aoliang, already shaken to the core by the stacked lineup of Apartment 9999,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>slowly turned back toward the two people he’d just been trash-talking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but gulp hard, then stammered, “You two…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not… Wan Xin and Jiang Ye, the ones at the bottom of the rankings, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right? Right??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang was frantically praying in his heart: Please, I’m begging you—please let the two of you be Wan Xin and Jiang Ye QAQ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve just taken my first step on the road to godhood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t just randomly jump into a lucky-numbered apartment for fun and get myself killed, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing’s frown twitched slightly. He’d already figured it out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was just an unlucky fool who blindly crossed into another apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among ordinary players, his strength could be considered top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But among the top-tier players of Apartment 9999, he was firmly at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing couldn’t be bothered with someone like that and was about to take him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ouyang grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, “Taking out a cross-apartment player right now might make Jiang Ye suspicious…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing had indeed come into contact with the Duoe Organization through a previous cross-apartment move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling guilty himself, he agreed with Ouyang’s reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d just left Jiang Ye’s place, and if they killed a cross-apartment player immediately afterward, it might make Jiang Ye suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Li Aoliang—he was obviously just a comic relief character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he posted something in the group chat and gave away a bit of info, Jiang Ye would quickly realize this clown had nothing to do with them and was just an unlucky guy who stumbled into Apartment 9999.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Lin Jing decided not to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Aoliang had no idea what these two were whispering about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured the odds of these two being weaker than him—like Wan Xin and Jiang Ye—were just too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, he’d heard the names Wan Xin and Jiang Ye before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xin used to be ranked 96th on the War God Ranking before being replaced by Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though everyone knew their match was rigged, Wan Xin’s earlier ranking was likely real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, being the same Level 8, Wan Xin would still be stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang quickly grasped the reality and began backing toward the console, changing his attitude like a Sichuan Opera face-change, and nervously stammered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to say anything, masters! I—I’ll show myself out! I’ll leave! No need to see me off, really!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned to flee across apartments—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That lack of information drop would still raise Jiang Ye’s suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Lin Jing and Ouyang couldn’t let him leave just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang flashed in front of him, blocking his way with an easygoing smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the rush, bro? We’re not monsters or anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang was exactly the kind of guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, in a place like the Doomsday Apartment, strong players had to flex on the weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these two were stronger than him, how could they not be monsters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blocking him like this—it had to be for his money or his life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he was trapped, he couldn’t run!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What to do, what to do?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang was panicking inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang more or less guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, we’re not here to rob you or kill you. I’m just about to leave Apartment 9999 and want to ask you to take care of something for me while I’m gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Li Aoliang finally relaxed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just an errand…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then maybe he still had a chance to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he stiffened his neck and asked, “What do you want me to do? I’m probably bottom-tier in this apartment, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang grinned easily: “I’ve got a friend named Wan Xin—the second-to-last guy on the Level Ranking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to keep an eye on him. See if he does anything unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially if he leaves Apartment 9999, let me know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Aoliang still hesitated: “But I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Lin Jing stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No ‘but.’ You don’t have a choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura intensified, and a single glance from him was enough to make Li Aoliang feel like he was facing death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing the bad cop, Ouyang switched to good cop and gave Li Aoliang more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then used an item to bind him to the task. Only then did the two of them leave the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Li Aoliang alone on the rooftop, ready to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F**k! If I’d known, I never would’ve crossed apartments!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did I waste Survival Points for nothing—I walked right into a den of wolves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, Li Aoliang soon discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the bigshots in the group were all teasing him and probing his background, none of them seemed to harbor lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was because they weren’t sure how strong he was, and didn’t want to make the first move and risk backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These top-tier players were actually more cautious than someone like him, a semi-competent strong player…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Li Aoliang felt more and more like he’d been acting like a nouveau riche idiot earlier—thinking he was invincible with just a little bit of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave himself a good internal scolding, then continued lurking in the group chat, quietly observing, while thinking about how to respond to these bigshots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many of them… if only he could latch onto one as a patron…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this cross-apartment player, Jiang Ye naturally noticed him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment, his main focus was on his Main Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be exact, all of his replicas were completely shocked by the trial S-tier Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes after activation, Jiang Ye’s Main Body felt the ribbon seemingly merge into his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on his Data Panel, a new S-tier Skill appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Soul Link (S-tier) (1 hour 59 minutes)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the skill’s effects—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made his eyes go wide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect 1: I Am My Replicas】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no distinction between the Main Body and all replicas linked by soul.
