Since I'm the bravest, let me set an example for everyone and test whether this 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 card can really help us get rid of the Prison watches!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked his intent on the Glasses-wearing Youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the heat transmitted from the card, he directly stuck the card onto the back of the Glasses-wearing Youth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden backstab sneak attack. He shouted with a chuunibyou-like fury: \"【Time-Limited Instant Kill】!

Could he still revive?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearts of the four youths tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These 3 seconds felt exceptionally long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the 3 seconds passed, right where the Glasses-wearing Youth had disappeared, the light points scattered in the dust indeed coalesced again, reforming the figure of the Glasses-wearing Youth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the glasses resting on the bridge of his nose were perfectly intact, as if they had never disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He… he really revived! You… you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rebellious Youth stammered, suddenly taking a step back, suspicious: \"Are you still Yi Min?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Glasses-wearing Youth picked up the Prison watch that belonged to him, thoughtfully holding it in his hand, and incidentally shot the Rebellious Youth a disdainful glance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't actually think I got my body seized by some monster in just 3 seconds, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh…\" The Rebellious Youth gave an awkward laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three youths couldn't help but crowd around the Glasses-wearing Youth, asking questions with faces full of astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you really die for three seconds just now? Did you feel any discomfort after reviving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when you died, did you feel nothing at all? Or was there some terrifying near-death experience?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too incredible!

However, actually, the more crucial reason I'm willing to take out five precious cards to help you remove your Prison watches is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only after you remove your Prison watches will the quality of your blood become purer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I hope that before dripping blood onto those three stones, you can first use 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 to take off your Prison watches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This request was, of course, not excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even more reasonably explained why the \"Female Ghost\" was willing to directly give them such precious items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the Glasses-wearing Youth had already tested it;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he successfully removed his Prison watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining four youths…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at each other, they prepared to use 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 on each other to also remove their Prison watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that Rebellious Youth, looking at his own 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 card, his expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly said to the Glasses-wearing Youth: \"You used up one of my card's charges to remove your watch. So let's swap cards back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Glasses-wearing Youth shot him another disdainful glance: \"That's unnecessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he used one hand to stick his own card onto the Rebellious Youth's body and with the other hand snatched the card from the Rebellious Youth's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he now held two 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each had 2 uses remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With extreme speed, the Glasses-wearing Youth used those two 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 cards, totaling 4 uses, on the remaining three youths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Rebellious Youth unexpectedly transform into light points…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then immediately seeing the Glasses-wearing Youth act swiftly against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three youths actually had a faint feeling that something was wrong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Glasses-wearing Youth was too fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no time to react before, like the Rebellious Youth, they rapidly turned into light points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, four youths, in less than 3 seconds, were successively hit by 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】, successively turning into light points…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Glasses-wearing Youth's expression was cold and detached as he picked up the Prison watches they dropped after turning into light points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And 3 seconds after the Rebellious Youth was \"instantly killed\"…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He indeed revived back as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his revived state was completely different from the Glasses-wearing Youth who had revived earlier without any abnormality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no Prison watch on his hand…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Forest of Oddities filled with mist, the mist gas rapidly eroded his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even manage to let out a single sharp scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before instantly turning into a mass of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area where he existed, the milky-white mist, momentarily looked like a blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, this small patch of blood mist was diluted by the seemingly endless mist of the entire Forest of Oddities until no trace of blood color remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the remaining three youths revived from the 【Time-Limited Instant Kill】 state, they were also instantly devoured by the mist due to losing their Prison watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the process of turning into blood mist, and then the blood mist being completely diluted by the mist, didn't even take 3 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, in less than 6 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four youths permanently vanished into the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of death, they didn't even know why they died…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they might have vaguely thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the \"Female Ghost\" in the kettle who deceived them and took their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they probably would never have thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly caused their deaths wasn't the Female Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather, losing the protection of the Prison watch…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Glasses-wearing Youth who orchestrated all this and picked up the 4 Prison watches maintained a cold, detached expression throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until from within the kettle, the \"Female Ghost's\" voice, still weak but now seeming somewhat ethereal, sounded again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you all… taken off your watches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Glasses-wearing Youth replied: \"All taken off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his voice was undisguisedly cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the youth made a jumping motion and leaped up onto the Kettle Spout, seven or eight meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw the four watches from the Kettle Spout into the kettle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Giant Kettle was a world isolated from the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mist enveloped it, yet it was a pitch-black darkness impervious to light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch black, four invisible hands reached out from somewhere, each catching one of the four watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Prison watches belonging to the four youths were placed onto four invisible hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then immediately after, four human figures crawled out from the kettle mouth at the top of the Giant Kettle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were exactly the appearances of the four youths who had previously been devoured by the mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the \"Rebellious Youth\" looked astonished, rubbing his face and hands, exclaiming in shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This… this Prison watch is just too awesome! Not only does it let players move freely through the mist, it actually perfectly suppresses the Lightburn effect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When that black cloth suppresses Lightburn, the parts covered directly lose sensation…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this Prison watch on, my whole body feels comfortable, no discomfort at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So why on earth did the 'ancient players' of this era have a death wish, actually wanting to get rid of the Prison watches??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another youth who appeared timid also rubbed his face, then shouted out excitedly and joyfully as if having survived a disaster:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! It wasn't easy! I finally have a body that belongs only to me again! I'm free!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid this rather unimpressive shouting, the timid youth noticed a familiar disdainful glance directed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately addressed that youth, initiating recognition: \"Brother Chao? Is that you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never thought a small Calamities like me, plagued by bad luck, could have such an incredible experience as traveling through time after clinging to your thigh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth called \"Brother Chao\" shot him another disdainful glance, looking like he didn't really want to engage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Glasses-wearing Youth on the Kettle Spout leaped down again, landing steadily among the four youths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said solemnly: \"Since everyone has a new identity, let's briefly introduce both the old and new identities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he directly pointed at the youth who looked somewhat cold and aloof: \"You, you should be Yang Wenchao, right? What's your current identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Wenchao didn't answer but directly displayed the data on his Prison watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed the name: Tu Tianyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the timid youth immediately chimed in: \"I'm Wan Xin. Now I'm Gao Xiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rebellious Youth fell silent for a moment, then also introduced himself: \"Previously Liu Re. Now Zheng Yiming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining youth with a stiff expression introduced himself in an equally stiff voice: \"Wang Lingling. Now Kong Xingyu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Glasses-wearing Youth nodded slightly and finally introduced himself: \"Lin Jing. This current body is named Yi Min.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly made a gentle waving motion toward the direction of the entire Giant Kettle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Giant Kettle rapidly shrank to the size of a palm and fell into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing's face was expressionless. His gaze, passing through the lenses of his glasses, directly fell upon this new version of Yang Wenchao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he said solemnly: \"Shall we first compare the information each of us received from the mysterious existence at the burial ground?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2397,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.056Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","09e8845239515a1a417961ce9240be5fc444f3e9275de802b46758b4490e023e","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-470","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-468",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
