I just set up a simple defense to keep our conversation from being overheard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t the least bit comforted, his expression only grew more grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light isn’t your primary ability, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not even your second or third...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then which number is it? Should I keep guessing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s expression barely changed, but his pupils trembled slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which number ability...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did that mean?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ghost thing—did it know his secret?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he had the X-tier ability Infinite Replication??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! That wasn’t right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had gone out of his way to set up a defensive measure just to reveal his secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant the so-called “secret” he was sharing should be unfiltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he really knew everything about Jiang Ye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he wouldn’t be asking “which number ability”—he’d be asking “which number replica”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secret he knew was only that Jiang Ye had multiple abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not necessarily that he had the X-tier ability Infinite Replication!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought it through and quickly steadied himself, calming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his face remained unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That aged voice then leisurely tried to reassure him again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax. There’s no need to be tense with me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, in my eyes, there’s no such thing as strength or weakness—only life and death...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if you’re powerful? So what if you’ve got a bunch of abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe it or not—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once possessed over a dozen SSS-tier abilities, and more than a dozen ninth-tier Glyph Pattern Abilities...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve even experienced absurd things you wouldn’t believe—multiple souls in one body, light and dark fused as one...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once stood at the pinnacle of the entire Doomsday Apartment, above the Moon Phase Clock...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I looked across the whole Doomsday Apartment and found no equal opponent...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But so what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only when you walk that path yourself will you understand—there is no strength or weakness, only life and death...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only then will you grasp the sorrow in Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu’s hearts—what does uniting the world mean? Being above all others? In the end, it’s just a mound of dirt in the ground...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only in the moment of death did I realize... heh, none of it mattered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the world really is just a game...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the only true currency is time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without time, the game ends...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice—whether touched by some memory or already a bit unhinged—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had started out sounding normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the longer he talked, the more he sounded like a madman rambling to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone wasn’t even particularly hysterical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it absolutely resembled those patients in psychiatric wards who talk to themselves all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yes, Jiang Ye had dealt with mental patients before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This second half of the voice’s ramble matched them perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were real life, Jiang Ye would’ve stayed far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this bizarre Doomsday Apartment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually listened to that possibly-insane voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If what this thing said was true...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye sharply picked up on something:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to you, you once stood atop the Moon Phase Clock, unmatched in the entire Doomsday Apartment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But then, you still died?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me—you actually lived through the grand cycle of the Doomsday Apartment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this entire Doomsday Apartment really does go through destruction and rebirth?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the voice in his head seemed to snap out of its crazed state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It returned to a slow, heavy rhythm, with a calm and peaceful tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to know? Do you want to survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go kill the Apartment 4444 Administrator first...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have plenty of information I can share with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ghost thing... trying to bait him with promises?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t falling for it, and was about to reply coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then the voice continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also... aren’t you looking for the Raven Egg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you kill him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Raven Egg will be yours...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was growing weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was practically incoherent, broken up into just a few words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him... kill... him... kill...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, the black mist surrounding Jiang Ye slowly dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything returned to normal—the underground Graveyard looked the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What frustrated Jiang Ye was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea where the owner of that voice in his head actually was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no way to lock onto the source, he couldn’t even toss a Dice of Fate just to test the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made him wonder—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could that mysterious voice belong to someone also in a state like Existence Denied?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither dead nor alive, neither truly living nor fully gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be another Observer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or something else like an Observer-type special existence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts spun through Jiang Ye’s mind, but he couldn’t come to any clear conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So with a shift of his gaze, he returned the Entropy Scythe and Madman Mask to the Replica Shared Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, over on Replica No. 2’s end, after gathering some intel from Lin Jing and Ouyang, he left the Duel Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Jing and Ouyang didn’t know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether killing the Administrator would offer hidden benefits to clearing a Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when players in the game usually fought Apartment Administrators, they’d already cleared their instances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Jiang Ye had made up his mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, go take out the Administrator of Apartment 1010.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, continue assigning more replicas to assist the main body in the Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Replica No. 2 was specifically tasked with killing the Administrator in 1010 was mainly because—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission from the White-Clad Woman had originally been accepted by Replica No. 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So having him complete it now reduced the chance of errors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Vow mission triggered when killing an Administrator...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just use Replica Fusion to fuse in Li Zhi, and it would still work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Zhi Replica and Comprehension Replica unfused, Jiang Ye discovered another bug!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Comprehension Replica who had become an Observer, had gained an SSS-tier Ability called Lofty Ambition, which clearly originated from Li Zhi’s ability getting upgraded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Jiang Ye had been entirely focused on the wonder that was the Observer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that he overlooked one crucial detail—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the Observer in the Existence Denied state wasn’t in a fused state at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhi and Fu Xi weren’t merged into the Observer at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Observer was completely unmerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Observer still had the SSS-tier Ability Lofty Ambition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant that this ability didn’t come from fusing with Li Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It belonged directly to the Observer—a permanently effective ability, no fusion needed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Jiang Ye also noticed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Li Zhi Replica’s panel, Lofty Ambition was still just SS-tier, not upgraded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was seriously bizarre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking more about it, it wasn’t hard to understand the trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Jiang Ye had encountered this kind of thing before when leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when Replica No. 1 fused with Replica No. 3 to grind for XP,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he used all of No. 3’s abilities, but when the fusion ended, the level-up was attributed to No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All benefits from Replica Fusion were automatically assigned to the fused-into replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more specific—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Replica A fused with Li Zhi, then any rewards from completing the Vow mission post-fusion wouldn’t go to Li Zhi, but to Replica A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more specifically—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Replica A, while fused with Li Zhi, completed an SSS-tier Vow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the final reward—Lofty Ambition as an SSS-tier Ability—would go to Replica A, not Li Zhi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That might seem ordinary at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on closer look, it was a total bug!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because by this logic...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye could have all his replicas complete an SSS-tier mission, and they’d all get Lofty Ambition as an SSS-tier Ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that might be fine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here’s the problem—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Jiang Ye, at 0:00, fused a massive number of Lofty Ambition SSS-tier replicas together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds, even thousands fused at once...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would it still just be the base version of Lofty Ambition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But honestly, Jiang Ye wasn’t confident either...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how many SSS-tier Lofty Ambitions it would take to evolve into an X-tier Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe abilities could indeed grow stronger, but just never surpass the SSS-tier threshold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That mysterious voice earlier had bragged about having more than a dozen SSS-tier Abilities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet never mentioned anything about X-tier Abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the White-Clad Woman had always assumed Jiang Ye’s ability was just SSS-tier...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So maybe this X-tier stuff didn’t belong to the Doomsday Apartment at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that mysterious voice said Jiang Ye was “the same kind,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye, like him, had experienced the grand reincarnation cycle of the Doomsday Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was that really the case?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his situation was definitely unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering that, Replica No. 2 immediately used Replica Swap and returned to Apartment 1010.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left behind in 1010 was the Blackened Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Jiang Ye swapped in, he habitually checked the apartment’s Chat Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, due to the Mutual Aid Group going independent, the whole chat had gone dead quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only posts were from the occasional solo player trying to join the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the group was lively again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players were chatting harmoniously, constantly sharing insights and experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this point, there wasn’t much time left before Day One ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like most classmates had earned enough Rent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were resting, others were still grinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those still grinding were either doing Errands for money,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or training in the Training Room or Dojo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hoping to boost attributes through workouts, or comprehend new skills via meditation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the chat messages, it was clear—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Likun had become a hot commodity among low-ability, no-skill players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he’d used his Comprehension Ability to help an E-tier player comprehend an E-tier skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, tons of classmates were seeking him out for skill guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, the whole chat seemed very harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye quickly and sharply picked up—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>",2236,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","659fdaf61df4d3ac60fb831176953554d0a760f4d9592bbdd1f9fb92d38e78ee","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-143","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-141",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
