Not an escape? Then what was it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was… Erasure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw it clearly—just now, Zhang Hao was erased on the spot by some god-tier method!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under night vision, his face looked especially grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brash young man was stunned, eyes filled with disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erasure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But! Who erased him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the Kill-on-Sight reward?! Who does it go to?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was the sharp-eyed Lu Shen who replied quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Kill-on-Sight Order is still active. Huang Bo’s not dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man looked even more dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged couple echoed Lu Shen’s analysis:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This really is strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the whole Doomsday Apartment, items with the power to erase are incredibly rare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And based on how Erasure works—Zhang Hao is definitely dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if he’s dead and the Kill-on-Sight Order is still in effect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that proves—he wasn’t Huang Bo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what doesn’t make sense is—if he wasn’t Huang Bo, why was he erased?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen, quick-witted, asked the middle-aged man for confirmation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you be certain—Erasure means guaranteed death? Could it be...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.” The man cut him off firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not just in the Newbie Apartment—in the entire Doomsday Apartment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>aside from the Divine Bird, no one can come back from Erasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Zhang Hao’s death is unquestionable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And since he died, but the Kill-on-Sight Order remains—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s basically confirmed he wasn’t Huang Bo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Lu Shen speculated further:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I suspect—Zhang Hao wasn’t lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Bo really did implant some broken item on him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that item must’ve had a side effect when switching positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hao’s Erasure was likely one such side effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huang Bo himself might be weakened right now from using it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged couple’s eyes lit up at Lu Shen’s reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, side effects from overpowered items were a common thing in the Doomsday Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that they thought back—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he was erased, Zhang Hao had shown zero signs he expected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which made sense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Jiang Ye himself hadn’t seen it coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 【Dice of Fate】 had actually landed on the 【Skull】 symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Light-type Replica was frozen in fear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really felt the arrival of the Grim Reaper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a split second, 【Replica Substitution】 triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who died wasn’t the Light-type Replica,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Replica No. 7—Zhang Hao—far away in Apartment 9669.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manner of death matched exactly with 【Skull】: Instant Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only experienced the terror of dying—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual death process lasted less than 0.1 seconds, so there wasn’t even much pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was a shame—a Replica had been wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, now that Replica No. 7 was gone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’d lost his window into Room 6996 completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew how those top players would interpret his sudden death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually—did they even realize he was dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe, since his body had vanished, they’d just assume he escaped?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t matter. As long as Jiang Ye never generated a new “Zhang Hao,” then that identity was as good as dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light-type Replica still hoped to roll a 【Crown】 from the Dice of Fate, to create higher-quality Replicas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he threw the Dice of Fate once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back in Apartment 1010, Replica No. 1 quickly opened the apartment group chat, which was made up almost entirely of his former classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he noticed was that 1010’s group chat had grown eerily quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, a classmate would say something—but the messages were immediately met with dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, Jiang Ye guessed the reason—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably because Wang Lingling, after forming her Mutual Aid Group, had shifted communication to another platform,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaving out anyone who hadn’t joined the group and no longer sharing any info with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the vibe he got when Wang Lingling first announced the formation of the Mutual Aid Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye then checked the member list—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Lu Shen’s name had gone dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he noticed several unfamiliar names were also grayed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, one name especially caught his eye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very likely the brash young man from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t know much about Lu Shen’s family background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d only heard vaguely that Lu Shen came from a well-off family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his clothes and behavior were pretty average, there was that one parent-teacher meeting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People said his family showed up in a luxury car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had led to a lot of girls in school admiring Lu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was probably the real reason he became such a popular figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grades, likable personality, and a mysterious but seemingly wealthy background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, family status didn’t mean squat in the Doomsday Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in games, whales—players who drop loads of cash—usually come from well-off families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had heard of people spending casually in games—enough to buy a whole house for the average person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Lu Fang was very likely one of those whales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, when did he join 1010?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why hadn’t he caused a bloodbath in the apartment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Shen had followed Lu Fang out of 1010, could it be that he already knew the name Jiang Ye of Apartment 9999?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Ye mulled this over, he suddenly posted in the group chat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sister Ling?
