he could recall the memories that were wiped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the【Stone of This Life】was still considered valuable, and Jiang Ye wasn’t about to let Zhou Qiming use it for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were to be used, it would be after turning Zhou Qiming into one of his clones, and then he’d use it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye pondered in his heart, but didn’t bring up the memory loss to Zhou Qiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy might even have some suspicions of his own—just hadn’t said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye couldn’t help but consider another possibility—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Zhou Qiming had sealed part of his own memory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But could this guy really have reacted that fast, and the moment he realized he was about to be questioned with the【Mask of Deceit】, he stealthily sealed away a portion of his memory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought… it was possible, but not likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of thought, he simply decided to leave the【Mask of Deceit】on Zhou Qiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, using the expendable clone that looked like Jiang Ye, he continued questioning Zhou Qiming for more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Administrator clone flickered away toward the cross-shaped tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cross-shaped tombstone still exuded a chilling and terrifying aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t so bad from a distance, but once you got close—even in death state—the Administrator couldn’t escape its influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Jiang Ye had avoided it specifically because of that ominous pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had no choice but to get closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearer he got, the stronger the sense of dread and discomfort became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him almost instinctively want to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even to collapse to the ground and crawl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Jiang Ye relied on sheer willpower to endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he had a sudden flash of inspiration and fused the light-element clone into the Administrator clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it actually worked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the fusion of light and dark was complete, he no longer felt that fear or unease!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strange phenomenon made Jiang Ye ponder—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Reincarnation Graveyard was clearly steeped in dark-element energy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the best place to nourish Shadow Puppets with the dark clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So logically, this should be paradise for dark-element beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did the aura from the cross-shaped tombstone make dark-element beings feel so repelled, so unable to approach?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the light element seemed to be tolerated by the tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So could it be that this tombstone had some connection to the light element?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing sealed beneath it had something to do with light?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would sort of make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here’s the problem—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All dark-element beings instinctively feared the light, like they were inherently beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which led to a clear conclusion: light was stronger than dark, maybe even countered it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how could a dark tombstone suppress something of the light??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that even make sense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s mind spun with possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he used【Light and Shadow Escape】and in a flash appeared right under the cross-shaped tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—under it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from far away, it had looked enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once up close, he realized it was even bigger than it had appeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its base covered a vast area as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron chains coiled all over it—no wonder they were visible from such a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, they were terrifyingly thick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the dark red color, molten lava seemed to flow, radiating an intense, horrifying energy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with【Light and Shadow Escape】, Jiang Ye didn’t dare get too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just hovered several meters away, circling around the giant tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he wasn’t right on top of it, he examined it carefully and quickly noticed something odd—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that towering tombstone, tall as a building, there was a door!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately, a door-shaped engraving right at the base, as if etched into the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like someone had drawn a door with graffiti on a wall—it wasn’t an actual door that could open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even have a door seam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And outside the “door” were the same bizarre iron chains, wrapping around and locking it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were a real door, it would be impossible to open with all those chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye focused his thoughts, and a pitch-black key appeared in the light-shadow fusion’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The【Reincarnation Key】...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d promised to hand it over to the Apartment Trader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking he probably wouldn’t get to use it for a long time anyway...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, he summoned up his courage and brought the dark key close to the door-shaped etching on the tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fiddled with it for quite a while in front of the “door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the door didn’t respond. Heck, the entire tombstone showed no reaction whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was a little annoyed and flew a few more laps around the massive tombstone, still holding the cross-shaped key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even made up a set of chants on the fly, mumbling a bunch of mumbo jumbo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, after confirming that the tombstone had zero response to the key, he finally gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So yeah, the idea of using the【Reincarnation Key】was scrapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But another thought struck him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of【Light and Shadow Escape】was that it could phase through any physical object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the apartment, he’d used this ability to casually kill tons of spectral beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even used it to bypass floors entirely, skipping the red-glow elevator and just slipping through the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he use【Light and Shadow Escape】to phase into the tombstone itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bold and risky thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t entirely reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point was that, when he approached the tombstone earlier as a pure dark-element Administrator, he couldn’t even get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once he fused with the light element—he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So maybe light really could enter the tombstone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s guts had definitely grown bigger lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing full well that this tombstone was anything but ordinary, he still charged straight at it using【Light and Shadow Escape】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in his light-shadow form, he deliberately aimed for a gap between the layers of those heavy chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it actually worked—he slipped inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, when phasing through solid objects in his Light and Shadow state, Jiang Ye didn’t feel anything special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But passing through this massive tombstone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely felt as if—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire tombstone was, in some strange sense, a kind of “apartment”…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he successfully entered the interior space of the tombstone, Jiang Ye got the uncanny impression that he’d just broken into a foreign apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the feeling vanished almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right after that, it was like someone slapped him from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Light and Shadow Escape form was abruptly forced back into its original shape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in his restored form, under that top-down pressure, he fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gravity inside this tombstone space was more than ten times stronger than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any player with weaker strength would already be collapsed on the floor by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weaker still—like some of his classmates—might’ve already coughed up blood from internal injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was starting to feel the strain himself, so he fused in his Super Stamina clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his physical stats massively boosted, the crushing pressure became barely tolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was sure he could move safely, he began surveying the inside of the tombstone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he saw made his eyes go wide in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shock—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t because the interior looked like a crystal palace carved from snow and ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t because this massive space was mostly empty, with only two small tombstones standing at opposite ends in a straight line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wasn’t because the transparent ice-like walls were faintly etched with star-map-like patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reflection in the smooth icy surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed his own face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of… “Jiang Ye”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here’s the thing—Jiang Ye was currently using the 4444 Administrator identity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant he should’ve had the face of the former 1010 Administrator, that poker-faced middle-aged man, Luo Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, fusing clones didn’t alter the main body’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever clone you fused into retained its original face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So from the outside, no one could tell a fusion had happened…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made perfect sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what didn’t make sense was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his Light and Shadow form was slapped back into human form by the eerie force, it defaulted to his own face—Jiang Ye’s face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was seriously creepy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lin Ling couldn’t detect his fusion clone ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the apartment’s system rules could tell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow, this icy crystal space inside the tombstone was like a magical mirror that revealed his true form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chill ran down Jiang Ye’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a newfound respect for this bizarre tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried using【Light and Shadow Escape】again to mask his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t work in this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even tried reshaping his features with blood and flesh—didn’t work either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even put on the bald disguise mask—and still, no disguise effect at all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this crystal space inside the tombstone must have a default rule: all must reveal their true form, with no disguises allowed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye pondered briefly, but after confirming there weren’t any immediate threats in this space, his attention quickly shifted to the only two objects inside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair of small tombstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood to the left and right, mirroring each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They too were made from that crystal-clear ice-like material—like they were carved from solid ice, yet they gave off no chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both tombstones were etched with simple yet elegant star-patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye could vaguely make out that the constellations formed two humanoid shapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outlines and features formed by the star points were nearly identical, like copy-paste duplicates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure on the left raised one hand solemnly to its mouth, covering it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure on the right raised one hand to its ear, as if swearing an oath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye fused his True Sight Eye clone to take a closer look—but in this entire tombstone space, True Sight couldn’t reveal a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left with no other option, he flickered forward and appeared before the mouth-covering tombstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be the “Wordless Tombstone” that Lin Ling once mentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye took out the【Corpse Whisper Bone Charm】, but the tombstone didn’t react at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he worked up the nerve to touch it—then suddenly, a message echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1747,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","df9ea1bb6ccd2dcf315cfd87b77fee0e9002f9d9bc8651011a77455ef15d568c","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-215","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-213",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
