Who cares who it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, I’m just a pawn...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When it’s time to die, I’ll die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried a hint of sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, his eyes suddenly snapped toward Jiang Ye, and his tone shifted sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just said, ‘let’s talk somewhere else,’ right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can get the 4444 Administrator to take us to his Secret Graveyard...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye really didn’t want to deal with Zhou Qiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that madwoman’s methods were beyond insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly asked Zhou Qiming to confirm, “That madwoman—she can’t get into the Secret Graveyard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming rolled his eyes. “Obviously!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even the Apartment Bosses can’t get in! I’d guess that place can only be accessed by the 4444 Administrator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the 4444 Administrator can enter?” Jiang Ye deliberately repeated it, then pretended to consider, muttering, “That might not be entirely true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In any case, let’s go somewhere else first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Head to the far end of the 3rd-floor hallway, I’ll tell you how to access the Secret Graveyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you trust me, hurry up. You’re running out of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was, of course, nothing but verbal bait. Jiang Ye could easily be trying to lure Zhou Qiming away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this had been the pre-death Zhou Qiming, there was no way he’d trust Jiang Ye so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming stared into Jiang Ye’s eyes for half a second, then replied in a low voice, “Fine, I’ll trust you—just this once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he vanished into the Red Light Elevator and quickly descended to the 3rd floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye also appeared at the far end of the 3rd-floor hallway shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, he wasn’t lying to Zhou Qiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they regrouped, Jiang Ye looked around to ensure no one else was nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to speak when Zhou Qiming—ever the wealthy one—pulled out a compass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few quick adjustments, a cloud of black mist rose around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can speak freely now. No one’s eavesdropping.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of Zhou Qiming—he really did have all sorts of top-tier gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was slightly envious but kept a neutral expression as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to enter the Secret Graveyard, right? First, try turning into me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming frowned. “Disguise as you? I don’t have that kind of skill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye reminded him with mild irritation, “You don’t have to be an exact copy. Just make your face look like mine—it’s enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he urged again, “Don’t waste time. Hurry up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhou Qiming said no more and transformed his face to look like Jiang Ye’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he felt a spatial force wrap around him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam! He was transported directly into a bizarre graveyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d spoken of the “Secret Graveyard” with familiarity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now that he was actually here, it seemed like it was his first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were full of disbelief as he instinctively looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in a heartbeat, his gaze landed on the eerie black cross headstone standing in the Tombstone Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one glance—and Zhou Qiming’s pupils contracted. He quickly averted his eyes, clutching his chest with lingering fear, his breathing ragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he’d calmed down a bit, he turned to stare at Jiang Ye—who had also entered the graveyard—with sheer shock on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one word—“you”—nearly came out as a shout!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who would’ve thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place the top veteran players had tried so hard to enter and failed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d actually gotten in just by changing his face to Jiang Ye’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What... what kind of logic was this??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this Secret Graveyard have a facial recognition system specifically set up for Jiang Ye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So as long as you had Jiang Ye’s face, you could pass the check and enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you make some kind of deal with the 4444 Administrator? Like, as long as it’s you—or your Replicas—you get access to this Secret Graveyard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But using just facial recognition to differentiate between you and your Replicas—isn’t that a bit careless?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I mean, facial recognition in an apartment full of Eerie Beings? Isn’t that kind of ridiculous?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With a disguise this crude, and the system still couldn’t tell the difference?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doesn’t that mean anyone who mimics your face could stroll right in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye gave it some serious thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he was debating whether to turn Zhou Qiming into a Replica right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he didn’t make a move—instead, he replied earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In theory... that seems to be the case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……” Zhou Qiming’s mouth twitched, his expression utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he seriously suspected the new 4444 Administrator was a complete idiot...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had someone like that even become the Administrator of Apartment 4444?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a brain like that, even with the special privileges of a 4444 Administrator, how could he possibly hold onto the position?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ease Zhou Qiming’s doubts, Jiang Ye deliberately added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, the 4444 Administrator seems like he’s planning to give this Secret Graveyard away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much do you know about the Apartment Trader? This Secret Graveyard might soon be handed over to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the 4444 Administrator? He’s just in ‘screw it’ mode now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the place is about to be handed over, he’s not managing it too carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explanation made Zhou Qiming uneasy. His eyes darted around constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wasn’t sure whether, if he turned back into his own appearance, he’d be ejected or suffer some other malfunction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for now, he kept Jiang Ye’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really looked like it was Jiang Ye’s eyes darting around, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he was thinking, just as Zhou Qiming was about to speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he caught something out of the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Grave Mound Zone, there appeared to be three figures?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Graveyard was huge, and those figures were very far away—only about the size of ants from his perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were definitely there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming immediately cried out in alarm in their direction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Why are there other people in this Secret Graveyard besides us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three figures Zhou Qiming saw were, of course, Jiang Ye’s Replica No. 1, along with Yang Wenchao and Wan Xin in their Mecha Undead Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replica No. 1 had been studying the red stone he’d unearthed, but still hadn’t figured anything out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the grave mounds they dug up turned out to be empty coffins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else significant had been found afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhou Qiming was already trapped and couldn’t escape, Jiang Ye didn’t bother hiding the truth and explained bluntly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are three players who entered the Secret Graveyard in Mecha Undead Mode.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve been digging since they arrived—no idea what they’re trying to find.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mecha Undead Mode...” Zhou Qiming was startled. “You mean the state achieved after dying while using a Mechanical Core?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming seemed to have connected something upon hearing “Mecha Undead Mode.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye immediately pressed, “No wonder what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You were also planning to use some method to get into the Secret Graveyard? And it just happened to be related to Mecha Undead Mode?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To that, Zhou Qiming nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that I was figuring it out myself, trying to find a way into the Graveyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was all prearranged for me by the Apartment Boss. I just had to follow the plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye stared at Zhou Qiming for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking a bit, he suddenly changed the subject and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your resurrection was a gift from the Apartment Boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And all your past achievements were thanks to the Apartment Boss’s support.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, hearing your tone, it sounds like you’ve built up quite a bit of resentment toward the Apartment Boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the other hand, I was the one who killed you in the arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And yet, you don’t seem to hold much of a grudge against me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming gave him a calm look and replied honestly: “If I didn’t resent you, would I have knocked on your door just now, trying to drag you down with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But after entering this Secret Graveyard so easily, my mindset changed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he asked Jiang Ye, “You know that the madwoman is targeting me, but do you also know about the hidden housing? About Yu Hu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he’d tried to ask using Ge Ge’s Replica, he couldn’t get a single answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he was using his main identity, Zhou Qiming was volunteering information without even being asked...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, in Zhou Qiming’s eyes, his followers weren’t qualified to know his secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone like Jiang Ye—a powerful player—was worthy of full transparency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the harsh reality of a world where strength rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jiang Ye was thinking that—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming dropped a bombshell:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know the madwoman is looking for Lin Yu Hu...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I bet you didn’t know—Lin Yu Hu is already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And it was under my guidance, during a failed possession attempt, that she became my most powerful Glyph Pattern Ability...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! My most prized Glyph Pattern Ability! And now, it’s become my death sentence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Apartment Boss brought me back to life? Heh! No! He didn’t revive me at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He just wants me to die again—at the hands of that madwoman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right now... heh! I’m alive, just to die again! Resurrected, just for a better death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qiming was once again filled with bitter self-mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye, however, immediately pieced everything together—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean to say—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was the Apartment Boss who guided you into turning Yu Hu into your Glyph Pattern Ability...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And now that madwoman is coming for you. It’s only a matter of time before she finds out Yu Hu died at your hands...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the Apartment Boss wants you dead at her hands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why? What is the Apartment Boss really after?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Ye spoke, he continued to speculate, then suddenly switched tracks again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. Wait! No, this doesn’t add up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m thinking... if a Glyph Pattern Ability could be extracted...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then could the extracted ability be revived into an Eerie Being again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened as he said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Qiming’s mouth twitched. “What? What are you even talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Extract a Glyph Pattern Ability? That’s impossible, isn’t it??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t explain right away and instead circled back to the earlier topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t answered my earlier question—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much do you know about the Apartment Trader?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I said the 4444 Administrator was handing over this Graveyard to the Trader, you looked like something clicked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, during your dealings with the Apartment Boss, did you also learn anything about the Trader?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1812,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","f6d9d22c1c680efc6c0781a66148f4e616a043cf4555399766134298a0c8095f","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-194","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-192",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
