If you gamble and lose, you will pay the price with your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of alarmist talk naturally couldn't frighten Li Ku, who had weathered great storms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained silent for a moment, only asking, \"Besides Erasure, are there any other drawbacks to this watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4444 was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku asked again, \"What I'm more curious about is, how do you recognize this watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen it on other players? Or is there some other reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrator 4444, having failed to achieve his goal, appeared gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he stated bluntly, \"If you are willing to lend me the watch, then I am willing to answer all your questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was negotiating terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku's darkened hand rubbed the Prison watch on his left wrist, sometimes touching it, sometimes not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was originally just considering whether to agree to this administrator minor BOSS's conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this rubbing actually allowed him to discover something different...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Moon People players are in the Land of Exile, unless they die, the Prison watch will vanish along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or with a [Time-Limited Instant Kill], the Prison watch will detach for 3 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under other circumstances, Moon People players cannot remove the Prison watch no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like a brand of sin stamped upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this instance space as understood by Li Ku...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually felt that the Prison watch here seemed like it could be directly taken off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brand of sin could actually be removed in this hidden space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku looked again at \"Ji Zixuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players in this hidden space clearly did not have Prison watches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lived freely...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bizarre thing was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The watch the Moon People players wanted to remove had, here, seemingly become a treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku quickly figured it out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this watch allows players to move freely through the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because this hidden space does not contain Sun People players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the most fatal risk of being arbitrarily Erased, the Prison watch had actually become a good thing in this hidden space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, if he could completely escape the control of the Prison watch, Li Ku would naturally be willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had two concerns in his heart—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, he would inevitably have to leave this hidden space sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the mist-filled Land of Exile, he would still need the Prison watch, otherwise he would be unable to move an inch within the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other concern was that mechanical eyeballs could directly copy the corresponding player information by wearing a Prison watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was equivalent to: taking someone else's Prison watch allows you to copy their identity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really lent out his Prison watch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't this administrator be able to directly copy him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just copying his Glyph Pattern Ability would already be powerful enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his Death State was also copied...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what was left for him to play with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this Prison watch thing, much like an ID card in modern society, clearly could not be casually lent to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it can't be lent to strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But someone trustworthy, perhaps the effect could be tested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku himself had already been seized by the Witch Gui Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So compared to body seizure, lending a Prison watch was actually not a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after a bit of consideration, Li Ku deliberately glanced at \"Ji Zixuan,\" then said to Administrator 4444:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lending the watch is possible, but I want to test the specific effects of lending the watch on one of my own people first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4444 was silent for a moment, his eyes coldly sweeping over \"Ji Zixuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his gaze returned to Li Ku, he resumed an agreeable posture: \"Fine, I'm also curious about the watch's effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after a brief discussion among the three, Administrator 4444 retreated behind the front desk in the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles threatening \"Ji Zixuan\" quickly dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Li Ku and \"Ji Zixuan\" standing about ten meters away from the front desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku slowly, carefully attempted to remove the Prison watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the watch lay flat in his palm, he himself was almost unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Data Panel was still there, his Glyph Pattern Ability was still there, his Death State was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the Prison watch was placed on \"Ji Zixuan's\" wrist, \"Ji Zixuan's\" entire person instantly changed appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like putting on a [mimic mask]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly transforming from one person into the person recorded by the [mimic mask].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, \"Ji Zixuan\" became Li Ku!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not the Li Ku covered in scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a normal Li Ku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Li Ku without scars, without the Death State, with normal eyeballs for eyes, his entire body presenting as normal flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately... like an initialized Li Ku?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That face, that appearance, might already be so distant and unfamiliar to Li Ku himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even in his Death State, which lacked facial features, he seemed to be staring dumbfounded at this \"self\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Jiang Ye, the moment he transformed into Li Ku, felt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another real Li Ku had become his clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in this apartment era, Jiang Ye's Clone Skills were actually usable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this mean his main body was still in this era??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye pondered slightly, then suddenly asked Li Ku, \"Do you have a mirror?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku created a water curtain for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye looked at his current \"self's\" image in the water curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but be inwardly startled—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the Prison watch in this era...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did it seem to have been weakened into a [mimic mask]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really did seem like the effect of a [mimic mask]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from this face looking exactly like Li Ku's, his current Data Panel still displayed Ji Zixuan's Data Panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had simply put on a [mimic mask] made from Li Ku's face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this effect, Jiang Ye even began to doubt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he really move freely through the mist while wearing this watch now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncertain, so naturally he couldn't take the risk himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results of this \"lending the watch\" experiment were clearly apparent immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrator 4444 spoke up again: \"You've seen the effect now. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This watch is essentially a [mimic mask] with the function of traversing the mist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you agree to lend me the watch, I can promise you—for however much time you lend me the watch, I will later recharge double that amount of time into your watch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even after confirming that in this \"hidden space,\" the watch wouldn't take away his abilities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku was still not very willing to lend the watch to a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since this administrator was clearly not a benevolent type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fusing apartments at the slightest disagreement...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including throwing out a [Time-Limited Instant Kill] upon meeting...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person clearly had no principles or credibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as conditions favored him, would he really keep his promise, return the watch, and even recharge double the consumed watch time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku didn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just thinking about how to negotiate with this administrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw Jiang Ye take off the watch, transforming back into Ji Zixuan's appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this Ji Zixuan identity, he addressed Administrator 4444:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreeing to lend you the watch is possible, but I have one additional condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrator 4444 was first surprised, then frowned: \"Can you decide this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye casually gave Li Ku a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku understood and chose to believe: \"He can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrator 4444's eyes flickered, and his tone toward Jiang Ye became much more polite: \"Then what is your condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want a deputy work badge for Administrator 4444, a [mimic mask] of Administrator 4444's appearance, and an additional Skin Sand prop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deputy work badge for an administrator, plus a disguise mask of an administrator's appearance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administrator 4444's first reaction was: \"You want to impersonate me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought to himself: Think bigger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he deliberately made this request to let the other party misunderstand his purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if he only asked for Skin Sand and a disguise mask, the other party couldn't guess his purpose, and with all sorts of divergent thoughts, complications would inevitably arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as long as Administrator 4444 could accept being impersonated, he should be able to agree to this condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, calling it impersonation was really just an appearance impersonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the deputy work badge would lend a bit more credibility to this impersonation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But could he really do anything bad by taking advantage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4444 thought for a long time and felt that even if the other party impersonated him, they couldn't really cause any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his mind was relaxing, Jiang Ye deliberately added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you put on the watch, it's equivalent to being able to impersonate Li Ku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then as an equivalent exchange, isn't it fair for Li Ku to impersonate you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4444 pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: \"Fine! I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since it's an equivalent exchange, then when I return the watch, you must also return my deputy work badge and disguise mask to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye smiled and nodded: \"Of course :)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku actually didn't know what Jiang Ye was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still chose to trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the transaction between the two sides was about to be finalized, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask Administrator 4444:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I'm very curious—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't administrators unable to leave the range of their own apartment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By wearing this watch, can you not only traverse the mist but also leave the apartment's range?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4444 was silent for a moment, only saying: \"I have my own methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he put on the watch, transformed into Li Ku's appearance, and flashed toward the direction of the apartment's main door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he really did have a prop that allowed him to leave the apartment's range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye also remembered that [Carefree Dao Stone] Lin Ling had shown him before, which was a prop that allowed an administrator to leave their assigned apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Administrator 4444 left did Li Ku look at Jiang Ye again, tentatively asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will that administrator really keep his promise and return the watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye shook his head with a light laugh: \"Not important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Apartment 4869 and Apartment 4444 had already achieved fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire fused version of the apartment automatically operated using Apartment 4444's template.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this situation clearly contradicted one of Jiang Ye's conjectures—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against the backdrop of the entire Doomsday Apartment, it seemed neither administrators nor the apartment boss considered Apartment 4869's number to have any special significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4869, this was just an ordinary, random number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including when fusing with Apartment 4444, it directly defaulted to the fused apartment continuing everything from Apartment 4444.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, Apartment 4869 simply ceased to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replaced by Apartment 4444.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But earlier, Jiang Ye had clearly deduced that the number 4869 might also have special meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the current apartment system seemed not to acknowledge this special meaning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after thinking more carefully, Jiang Ye quickly discovered the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, the \"special\" recognized by the apartment system and the \"special\" recognized by the behind-the-scenes organization he envisioned were not based on the same criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the apartment system, 4869 truly was not special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that behind-the-scenes chess player moving pieces across the entire world had additionally defined 4869 as a special apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a number that has no meaning in mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after being defined by humans, it gains a meaning detached from mathematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment system's standard for \"special\" is the mathematical sense of special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an organization composed of people can naturally define a special number detached from mathematical meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4869 is such a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, perhaps we can deduce—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the 49th floor of the Blood Pool Elevator in the prison era, arriving at Apartment 4869 in the apartment era...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it's Apartment 4869 is because this passage was also artificially created, separate from the apartment system?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under artificial creation, did they consider the possibility of Apartment 4869 disappearing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Li Ku, he also had thoughts on this aspect: \"After the apartment fusion, has the difficulty of us returning increased?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn't answer, instead asking Li Ku: \"What image did you see of the apartment within the mist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the apartment fusion period, did the image of the apartment you saw change?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ku stated directly: \"My vision is severely obstructed within the mist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I can only see that standing apartment main door within a 3-meter range of the apartment entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the mist, this apartment door has a kind of luminous quality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But other than the door, everywhere else is deep black, just like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment, finding an accurate description: \"Just like the Black Mist at the roots of the World Tree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he became more certain of his earlier guess: \"So this world is indeed an underground world similar to the 'underworld'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Jiang Ye didn't argue with him either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly put on the administrator's mask, bound the deputy administrator work badge to Ji Zixuan's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, using the deputy administrator identity, he opened Apartment 4444's... underground Burial Ground...\u003C\u002Fp>",2327,"2026-06-03T07:17:57.310Z","2026-06-03T07:18:01.092Z",1,"novelbin.me","f54a0282d5dc3775c01f159f5f4d91a5952eace768342281136a43bba19d2097","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-547","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-545",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
