This was outrageous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s first reaction was to suspect that some moron was impersonating him again, maybe even using his Replica Substitution ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very quickly, he realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two new Replicas…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Jiang Ye. Not an imposter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because almost instantly, the shared consciousness from the two new Replicas was transmitted to all the other Replicas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, Jiang Ye understood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t someone faking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that two of his Replicas had just exited from his Personal Instance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, thoughts aligned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately synced with those two Replicas and shared full consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the information those two Replicas brought back left him both thrilled and shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “thrilled” part was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the Replicas left outside had been anxious, not knowing what was happening to the main body inside the Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with Replicas exiting from inside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately gained access to all the main body’s intel from within the instance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant, the situation inside and outside the Personal Instance were no longer isolated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now connected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even better—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the shared intel, although the main body was trapped inside the second stage prison of the instance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t in any real danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had full control of all the Replicas entering the Personal Instance, allowing him to run various experiments and command the whole situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the biggest surprise of all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a Replica “dies” inside the Personal Instance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can actually leave the instance through Replica Substitution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So does that mean the main body could also escape the Personal Instance through Replica Substitution if it dies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that be... basically cheating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was the “shocking” part for Jiang Ye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Replicas that exited were one with the S-tier Eye of True Sight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other was a B-tier Replica that Jiang Ye had sent in using his Light-Type Replica’s mass-generation ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had both died inside the instance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which triggered Replica Substitution, ejecting them from the Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from the memories shared by those two Replicas—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body had used the Replicas in Stage One to try out all kinds of approaches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including but not limited to:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing as many people as possible to stack Survival Points;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waging mental warfare with the teacher who was about to call the cops, negotiating;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for the police to arrive, hoping to extract info from them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, different Replicas tried different methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far, none of them achieved high ratings upon entering the prison of Stage Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best rating came from waiting for the police, then leaving the classroom in handcuffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that rating was only a C+.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Stage One’s classroom, the main body still hadn’t found the correct clearance method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body had hoped the Replicas outside would send more help in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had no way to communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Replicas outside didn’t understand the situation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thought to send help—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But assumed only strong Replicas would be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they sent in weaklings, wouldn’t they just be dragging the team down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with shared data, he realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Personal Instance didn’t need powerful Replicas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It needed a lot of Replicas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he sent in, the more experiments the main body could conduct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the main body had already come up with multiple new experimental methods, but had no Replicas to carry them out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, now that two Replicas had come out, bringing the info back—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outside Replicas and the main body inside could finally work together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for the “death” of those two Replicas—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was another detail to watch out for when progressing through the Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Stage Two’s prison, there was a sentence timer system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body had wondered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen when time ran out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would it just transition to Stage Three like the move from Stage One to Two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or… would it be death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Replicas outside had the answer—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no transition to any “Stage Three.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was direct death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two Replicas were executed once the timer in Stage Two ran out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Replica Substitution triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the two Replicas weren’t truly dead…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had to bring this intel back to the main body inside the instance ASAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had to send in more Replicas right away to help the main body conduct further trials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had previously speculated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That even if the main body “dies” in Stage Two, he could escape via Replica Substitution...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened next made him realize—things weren’t looking good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Replicas who came out of the instance had appeared directly inside the small storage room connected to Room 2025, where the Personal Instance gateway was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were already close to the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye immediately tried sending the “useless” B-tier Replica back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it failed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replicas that had died inside the Personal Instance could not enter it again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that logic held—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then if the main body died inside the instance…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might not actually die for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never be able to re-enter the instance again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the main body could never enter the Personal Instance again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the entire Personal Instance might face other problems as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example—other Replicas might also become unable to re-enter the instance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the way the Personal Instance works is: initially, Replicas can't enter. Only after the main body enters can other Replicas follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if it really came to that point...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s very possible he’d completely lose the chance to clear the Personal Instance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, Survival Stones can be looted from other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the benefits of the Personal Instance were something Jiang Ye really didn’t want to give up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the current situation wasn’t exactly optimistic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with one more issue—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial version of the S-tier skill Soul Link was about to expire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Replicas outside had been able to act so freely precisely because of Soul Link, the S-tier skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that skill expired and the main body was still trapped inside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then all Replicas outside would find their movements severely restricted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having figured all this out, nearly all of Jiang Ye’s Replicas inhaled sharply in unison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the Void Mirror Palace had already been destroyed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he now had a new, even better secret base—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Graveyard of 4444.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having resolved to help his main body clear the Personal Instance as soon as possible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye shifted all his efforts to center around the instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately placed the Survival Jade Token containing 500 Survival Points (from the White-Clad Woman’s reward) into the Replica Shared Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Administrator Replica, who already had 108 Survival Points, resumed the great undertaking of mass-producing Replicas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did consider throwing a Dice of Fate onto the Administrator Replica’s head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, in Death-State, an Administrator couldn’t be targeted by the Dice of Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, after experiencing the benefits of “Death-State” firsthand, Jiang Ye finally understood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This so-called “Death-State” was indeed absurdly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one stayed in that state and didn’t encounter Light, they were practically unkillable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the downside was also obvious—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many items couldn’t be used in Death-State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t even extract Survival Points from a Jade Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, Jiang Ye could now understand why the 4444 Administrator had no valuables on him when he died in the PK Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t use anything in Death-State, there’s no point carrying it into battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This item restriction could be considered 4444’s biggest weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if he wanted to use an item, he had to switch out of Death-State.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once in normal state—he could be locked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone had the power to deliver an SSS-tier kill,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might be killed outright, bypassing Death-State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, SSS-tier death is rare—but not impossible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apartment Boss is incredibly powerful and well-stocked. He might really have such an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—even without using Light, there were ways to kill 4444!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, wasn’t 4444 taken down precisely by a scheme of the Apartment Boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye still hadn’t looted Zhou Qiming’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Light Replica left the White-Clad Woman, he circled around the now-fused Apartment 4444 using Light and Shadow Escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he found—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming’s few followers, including Lin Jing and Ouyang, were still hiding inside Duel Machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But curiously, Zhou Qiming’s own machine... was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the Administrator Replica produced 20 more Replicas in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, he sent them all into the Personal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those 20, one turned out to be an S-tier Replica with Dark Element Affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Dark S-tier Replica was far inferior to the previous Dark Replica \"Qu Xing,\" which had been generated alongside Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only were the stats worse, even the initial skills weren’t S-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, an S-tier talent is always promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the main body had a few experiment ideas that required Replicas with certain abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One idea was to use invisibility to evade arrest by the police and stay in the classroom, to see if more secrets could be uncovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another experiment was to use resurrection—to try and revive Teacher Zhou, whom he had previously killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhou could be revived, then maybe the act of murder would be undone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if that were the case, would he still be sent to prison?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Stage Two of the Personal Instance actually had alternate routes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the main body had been stuck in prison so long...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even started having crazier ideas, staring at the death penalty countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he had a Replica with time manipulation abilities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he rewind time to undo Zhou’s death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he even return from Stage Two to Stage One using time skills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That idea really was insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the main body actually tried it—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the flow of time in the Personal Instance was different from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been 48 days in prison already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each day, the main body could generate one new Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Replicas created in prison had to spend Survival Points daily to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they had no way to earn Survival Points inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the Replica generated on Day One wouldn't survive Day Two due to lack of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, each day, only that day’s Replica could stay with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All previous ones were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the main body fantasized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more than 400 days of prison ahead, maybe he could spawn a Replica with time powers someday...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, prison life had driven him halfway mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time powers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acquiring Wu Ying’s memories, Jiang Ye was certain—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even in the vast Doomsday Apartment world had anyone shown time-based powers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many players, and not one with time manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now his main body hoped to get one in just 400 Replicas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure delusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, complaints aside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s Replicas and the main body were essentially one and the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because communication had been cut off that their perspectives started to diverge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, as a Replica, Jiang Ye had considered the possibility—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really create a time-powered Replica someday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were possible…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the greatest chance lay in using the Observer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Observer had the SSS-tier ability Prophecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Colorless Decree, part of Prophecy, could make zero-probability events happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe time abilities didn’t currently exist in Doomsday Apartment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean Jiang Ye couldn’t get one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this realization, his first instinct was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Train the Observer in mastering all the Decrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Try to quickly unlock Prophecy, and use it to influence the creation of future Replicas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he thought again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Personal Instance had a different time flow than the outside world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then if he sent the Observer into the Personal Instance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t the Observer gain even more time to study Prophecy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, Jiang Ye would be sending in a large number of Replicas to help with the main body’s experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of those could generate new Replicas daily inside the prison of Stage Two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, those new Replicas wouldn’t survive to the next day due to lack of Survival Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every single Replica generated would give the Observer another chance to test Prophecy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Observer only had 10 days to grow in the Beginner Apartment outside...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Personal Instance, he could have hundreds of days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If judged by the main body’s prison timeline, that’s over 400 days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Jiang Ye thought about it, the more he believed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending the Observer into the Personal Instance was the best investment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as a Replica, Jiang Ye didn’t make the final call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that communication with the main body was reestablished,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first sent Replicas in to relay these thoughts to the main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And almost right after that batch of 20 Replicas entered the Personal Instance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Replica came out!\u003C\u002Fp>",2230,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","e81dbe55836e6a8a4c4223fe6487c50a6545db0328399d0f5596d3da37445d97","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-160","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-158",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
