Killed the “lucky one”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he have that kind of strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most players there had some means of investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the information they uncovered about Jiang Ye was even worse than that of Wu Ying, who used the Phantom Parasite skill to replicate Jiang Ye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such trash, killing an old player?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really a joke?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zhou Yuling’s demeanor clearly didn’t suggest she was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More likely, this version of Jiang Ye was fake too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was a disguise by some strong veteran Defender player?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, since Zhou Yuling dared to say so boldly, this Jiang Ye must indeed have considerable strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many even couldn’t help but imagine—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Xu Gou’s attack on the White Tower, he went from confident at the start, to disheveled midway, to crazily inflated after empowering the steam mutant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players initially thought Xu Gou might succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, Xu Gou disappeared, and Zhou Yuling entered safely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with her came this “Jiang Ye” who looked just like the newly mutated steam mutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they suspected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Xu Gou’s downfall and Zhou Yuling’s safety both be thanks to this “Jiang Ye”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jiang Ye’s strength was absolutely not to be underestimated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even be stronger than Xu Gou and Zhou Yuling?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, just because Zhou Yuling casually said she arranged for Jiang Ye to kill the lucky one, the players present had all kinds of speculation about Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among these 9,999 players, the theoretical probability of becoming the “lucky one” was nearly one in ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So unless someone was extremely unlucky, nothing would really happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking deeper, there was also an extreme possibility—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if, in that 10,000 to 9,999 probability,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Zhou Yuling herself became the lucky one and didn’t enter the Court of Disorder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be freaking hilarious, wouldn’t it??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the players who thought this couldn’t understand why Zhou Yuling would propose such a method at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling could have just killed Peng Gu right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, during the earlier incident, Peng Gu clearly acted like a reactionary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Xu Gou were probably on the same side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Xu Gou was missing, so kicking Peng Gu out would make perfect sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Zhou Yuling couldn’t kill Peng Gu herself due to the previously signed contract...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then just let this “Jiang Ye” do it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some unlucky players, worried about becoming that one in ten thousand unfortunate soul, secretly hoped Zhou Yuling would kill Peng Gu on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those unlucky souls mostly had self-awareness and wouldn’t willingly become the first to be targeted by gunfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for a time, the entire White Tower fell into a somewhat silent calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye also pondered deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that with Zhou Yuling’s preparation and emphasis on exploring the Court of Disorder, she wouldn’t gamble on that one-in-ten-thousand chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she herself could become the “lucky one” who didn’t get the 9,999 slots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this “kill the lucky one” claim was most likely a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, this woman probably wanted to kill Peng Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she said the limit was 99,999, Jiang Ye asked if she would remove one clone or one follower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling clearly said she would kick someone out from the followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she must have already decided on a death candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That candidate was very likely Peng Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was still thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the Defender youth who had been thrown in together with Zhang Minghan spoke up amidst the silence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the ‘lucky one’ slot should be decided by Sister Zhou beforehand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To avoid that one-in-ten-thousand chance falling on Sister Zhou...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If our leader can’t enter the Court of Disorder, then what are the rest of us playing for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, Zhou Yuling’s brows suddenly knitted as if she had just realized this, and she instinctively nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her reaction, Peng Gu’s expression subtly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Defender youth, whether he was a mind reader of Zhou Yuling or had received a private message from her, quickly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard there were two main culprits during the disturbance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Sister Zhou has been too kind in handling this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were me, I would directly kill the other main culprit who caused trouble alongside Xu Gou to serve as a warning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His last words were spoken with firm authority as his gaze flicked toward Peng Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn’t know what the others thought, but he immediately saw that Zhou Yuling and this Defender youth were just putting on a show!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling had long decided she wanted to kill Peng Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staging this act before killing him would make her seem “merciful”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk, Jiang Ye was extremely disdainful inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what surprised him was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This show suddenly focused on him, the bystander!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some contemplation, Zhou Yuling’s aura darkened more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it reached its lowest, the tension in the air almost overflowed with gunpowder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a great battle was about to erupt at any moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling’s purple veil lightly fluttered without wind, and a sharp murderous aura seemed to pierce through the veil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she shouted sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Ye! Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack what??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell does this have to do with me??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt a burning sensation on his neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Gu flashed and suddenly appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand, rotted and reddened from radiation, fiercely grabbed Jiang Ye’s neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Ye suddenly realized...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling and the Defender youth were indeed acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren’t acting for Peng Gu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were acting for me!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they trying to expose his strength by having him kill Peng Gu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to see what would happen if this worthless clone got killed by Peng Gu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t afraid of death, after all, his clone would take the hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the lowest-quality puppet clone would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the way Zhou Yuling tested him this time was unbearable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was way worse than a simple verbal test!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had already decided to enter the Court of Disorder, yet this stunt still came out...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, anger surged in Jiang Ye’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, fine, playing like this, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He silently activated Clone Swap twice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, his discarded clone and the mirror clone of the discarded clone swapped. Because they looked exactly the same, even Peng Gu, standing close, didn’t notice anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the mirror clone of the discarded clone swapped with Lin Ling’s mirror clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clone swap was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Gu immediately felt the presence choking his neck change shape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it wasn’t just a change in shape...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it! It was a completely different person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this woman...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was obviously the terrifying existence who had stuck talismans on their heads, sealing all these followers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peng Gu instantly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Jiang Ye” Zhou Yuling brought in was indeed an imposter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the imposter was the one who sealed the followers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Peng Gu thought so, but the other players naturally thought the same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just thought this “Jiang Ye” was a disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they naturally believed “Jiang Ye” had dropped the disguise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, all the follower players had one thought flash in their minds—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling’s grandiose words were fake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and that crazy woman who sealed them were definitely working together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger rose fiercely in their hearts, but they had to suppress it and pretend to be clueless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling and the Defender youth, witnessing this change, were stunned as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the swapped-in mirror clone of Lin Ling was stunned too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the mirror clone inherited Lin Ling’s disposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it fully understood the situation, it immediately filled its aura to the max.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the overwhelming pressure, it slapped Peng Gu hard, sending him flying...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it swept its gaze across the crowd, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the giant chessboard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirror clone that originally looked like Lin Ling suddenly turned into Jiang Ye’s appearance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden change naturally attracted everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling, whose mirror clone had been swapped, looked especially obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed already in a bad mood, immediately frowning as she looked at Jiang Ye’s mirror clone, speaking coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell are you doing??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You promised my mirror clone would only supervise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was using a mirror clone, so even if it died, survival points and puppet clones wouldn’t be consumed. Naturally, he was fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His frown was deeper than Lin Ling’s as he boldly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What am I doing? You might as well ask what Zhou Yuling is doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our deal only requires me to cooperate in exploring the Court of Disorder, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why does Zhou Yuling pull the hatred of an old player onto me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to die, so I can only choose to protect myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling frowned, her gaze briefly hollow, clearly chatting privately with Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling in the White Tower clearly felt the subtle change in the followers’ gazes toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she realize...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people seemed to think she and Lin Ling were on the same side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though what they thought was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was very different from her original plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then received Lin Ling’s inquiry and immediately explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling on the chessboard twitched her lips slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chubby Guy on the chessboard suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the Court of Disorder has an extra slot, why not hand Peng Gu over to me to explore the Abyss Restricted Zone together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chubby Guy with a hint of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation inside the White Tower was privately communicated between Zhou Yuling and Lin Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling had just learned about the extra slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Chubby Guy had quietly gotten this information too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with Chubby Guy’s previous behavior...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling thought for a moment, then suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want this person, then just capture him directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke casually, and Chubby Guy smiled lightly too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With almost a casual snap of his fingers, another card was shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Peng Gu’s figure appeared on the card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Peng Gu bounced out of the card, looking confused on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after seeing another Jiang Ye and another Lin Ling, he was even more suspicious and puzzled...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, here he saw Xu Gou and Yu Mo sealed inside the Square Mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he learned Xu Gou’s whereabouts but couldn’t figure out the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was certain—if even Xu Gou could be sealed, he was no match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he obediently stood there, not daring to act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling glanced at Peng Gu, then looked at Jiang Ye’s mirror clone, speaking solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s nothing wrong now. Can you swap the mirror clones back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Ye shook his head with a bit of mockery:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing wrong? Are we going to pretend the fact that Zhou Yuling set me up and forcibly dragged hatred onto me never happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling’s expression was blank, her eyes numb:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you also transfer the hatred Zhou Yuling brought to you back onto me and her through the mirror swap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow and said boldly: “This is justifiable defense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just because I successfully defended myself, does that mean your plans to harm me don’t count anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling’s forehead vein twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Ye almost thought she was about to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, at that moment, Chubby Guy actually spoke up for him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter, indeed, the Defenders’ Alliance didn’t handle well...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he spoke with the honest and simple attitude of an old man casually commenting on a quarrel by the roadside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the power he showed, almost no one dared to ignore his seemingly offhand remark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Ling’s faintly irritated demeanor immediately dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes flickered, obviously thinking about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was the second big shot to speak up for Jiang Ye, after the Nomadic Merchant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regardless of her inner turmoil, Lin Ling quickly composed herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Jiang Ye again with a calm gaze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Yuling’s unilateral actions were indeed improper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She will apologize to you face to face before we enter the Court of Disorder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides that, if you want any other compensation, feel free to propose it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the right attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s anger from being set up and tested was barely subsiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t thought about compensation yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around this time, the other clones sensed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously lost clone in the red-lit elevator had actually “returned”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just like before in the Return Soul Abyss’s Soul Resting Mound—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone that “returned” after being lost...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had changed from an original Generated Clone into a Fake Clone without shared consciousness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apartment 9999.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-lit elevator dinged on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “discarded clone” who had gone missing after being swapped into the elevator by Jiang Ye stepped out...\u003C\u002Fp>",2213,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfaf634e0cb2f63ae216ef1e8999e6b12fdfb95f45c2f9297596668ac1a85bc1","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-326","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-324",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
