So now if I refuse to cooperate, your idea is to kill the mule in advance? Burn the bridge before crossing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, both sides were quite unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both voice transmission beads were silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, just as Jiang Ye was about to have his clone army drip his own blood on the Mirror Palace “mirror surface” to create numerous Mirror Puppets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling’s voice came through 1st Jiang Ye’s transmission bead with a hint of compromise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be straightforward with you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Left Alliance has a domain space that needs manpower to maintain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before, we weren’t sure when we’d explore the Court of Disorder, so I prepared ten thousand followers, and a good portion of them were lent to the Left Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we explore the Court of Disorder early, those ten thousand followers need to enter the Court, then the Left Alliance won’t have enough manpower...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I want to borrow ten thousand clones from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since this matter caused unhappiness, I can do this—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We postpone exploring the Court of Disorder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the Left Alliance finishes their business and my ten thousand followers are free, we’ll go to the Court.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I provide ten thousand followers, you provide ninety thousand clones, and I won’t ask you to mortgage clones anymore. How about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Zhou Yuling’s concession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Jiang Ye, it was not good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhou Yuling didn’t explicitly say it, Jiang Ye almost immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Zhang Minghan’s clone, while in the Black Ice Domain, saw Lin Ling take those followers Zhou Yuling had found, sticking talismans on each one and turning them into little puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those puppets had become “pieces” on Lin Ling’s “large chessboard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Zhou Yuling meant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to explore the Court of Disorder immediately, Jiang Ye had to sacrifice part of his clones to replace those “pieces,” Zhou Yuling’s followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they had to wait for Lin Ling’s big chess game to finish before Zhou Yuling’s followers could be freed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was eager to go to the Court of Disorder now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he wait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well go alone with his one hundred thousand clones without Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe, could he turn Zhou Yuling into clones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But simply turning her into clones wouldn’t help; what he wanted was information about the Court of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whether one hundred thousand players could trigger the highest difficulty there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t respond to Zhou Yuling for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he first had two thousand Puppet Clones in the Mirror Palace secret realm drip his own blood on the “mirror surface” of the Mirror Palace grids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they left the original grids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, maybe at that moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, two thousand Mirror Puppets bearing Jiang Ye’s face should have been generated simultaneously throughout the Mirror Palace secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was because he used his own blood, or because he generated too many Mirror Puppets at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the two thousand Puppet Clones had just transferred grids and clearly felt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Mirror Palace secret realm’s grids seemed to tremble in that instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the ground beneath all the clones’ feet could feel the vibration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two thousand pairs of eyes saw with the naked eye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirror surfaces of those Mirror Palace grids all showed strange cracks amidst this unexplained trembling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracks were called strange because—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those cracks on the “mirror surface” looked like flesh and blood, with blood strands seeping out from the cracks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those blood strands didn’t flow out completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be absorbed by something and quickly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Jiang Ye soon realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those blood strands in the cracks were absorbed by the newly generated Mirror Puppets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the initial Void Mirror Puppet with Lu Renjia’s face...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of newly generated Mirror Puppets bearing Jiang Ye’s face also quickly absorbed the blood on the “mirror surface.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike before—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the “mirror surface” was drained of blood, accompanied by the trembling, it shattered completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned into scattered glass shards on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those strange Mirror Puppets with Jiang Ye’s face squatted down and picked up the mirror shards, putting them into their mouths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, they even raised the corners of their mouths, showing a bizarre smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those “mirror surfaces” that were “eaten” naturally could no longer restore themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, during this entire shaking of the Mirror Palace secret realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two thousand mirror surfaces disappeared, forming a specific “passage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This passage formed by the vanished mirror surfaces made Jiang Ye suspect—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the Void Mirror Palace, which originally looked like a maze, initially filled with mirror surfaces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only due to some reason did some mirror surfaces go missing, forming the final so-called maze passages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, could grids missing their “mirror surfaces” but no longer fully sealed still generate Mirror Puppets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to discuss this question with Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he soon discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of Mirror Puppets bearing Jiang Ye’s face seemed terrifyingly strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating the “mirror surfaces” stained with Jiang Ye’s blood, they actively destroyed other “mirror surfaces”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they ate the shards of those other mirror surfaces...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, under these Mirror Puppets’ operation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the “mirror surfaces” that originally divided the secret realm into hexagonal grids gradually shattered and were eaten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during this devouring process, if these Mirror Puppets met, they fused immediately on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon, Jiang Ye found—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirror Puppets with Zhou Yuling’s face, with Li Aoliang’s face, and even with Xing Yishan’s face from Li Aoliang’s team...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Mirror Puppets in the secret realm no longer only fused with those of identical appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they all actively merged into the Mirror Puppets with Jiang Ye’s face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in less than a few minutes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Mirror Palace secret realm underwent a drastic transformation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “mirror surfaces” originally used to separate space all disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all Mirror Puppets merged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying “almost” because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the strongest giant Mirror Puppet with Jiang Ye’s face that absorbed all others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still one Mirror Puppet with Lu Renjia’s face in the secret realm, used as a body by Guiwen, influenced by Guiwen’s consciousness, so it naturally didn’t merge into the strongest Mirror Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, the entire Mirror Palace secret realm changed from densely packed hive-like grids into two nested hexagons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The central hexagon was the reincarnation grid where Huang Bo, Guan He, and Chen Cang were trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer hexagon was the boundary of the entire Mirror Palace secret realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this large space between them, light and shadow still flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the mirror surfaces blocking sightlines, Li Aoliang and others, Zhou Yuling, and two thousand of Jiang Ye’s Puppet Clones all appeared clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While these people were still puzzled...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their stunned gazes saw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strongest Mirror Puppet with Jiang Ye’s face furrow its brow in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it flashed and instantly appeared beside the Mirror Puppet with Lu Renjia’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Jiang Ye-faced Mirror Puppet suddenly grew huge, over eight meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One giant palm directly pinched up the Lu Renjia-faced Mirror Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like throwing candy, it tossed the Guiwen-possessed Mirror Puppet into its mouth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating this last Mirror Puppet, the giant Jiang Ye-faced Mirror Puppet finally stretched its brow with satisfaction...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the Mirror Palace watched this scene and inexplicably swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Mirror Palace secret realm, 1st Jiang Ye spoke into the transmission bead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Zhou Yuling, are you still there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, are you going to fight the boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you detect the boss’s attributes and other info? I probably don’t need to help, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While 1st Jiang Ye said this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Mirror Palace secret realm, Guiwen Jiang Ye tried to see if he could seize control of this giant Mirror Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he originally thought the chance was slim...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the consciousness of the Guiwen clone easily invaded this massive Mirror Puppet boss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in this seized state, there was no discomfort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only awkward thing was controlling such an eight-meter giant body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the giant body was actually not difficult to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From others’ perspective, they saw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That ultimate Mirror Puppet boss that had eaten the smaller Mirror Puppets suddenly clumsily turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a flash, it appeared near Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it stepped on Zhou Yuling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, when it lifted its foot, Zhou Yuling was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But 1st Jiang Ye heard Zhou Yuling panting with a fearful tone through the transmission bead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This final boss is terrifying. I’m afraid I can’t handle it...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow: “So, do you need my help? Or are you going to call for backup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what to do? The clones guarding the Mirror Palace secret realm entrance found—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right when the boss spawned, the silver-white vortex symbolizing the secret realm’s entrance suddenly disappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>",2272,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b93e34ba5ae46660a2511b7158eaeaa6715e34b9a852655773e77837c39e6e8","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-314","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-312",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
