Surviving the Doomsday Apartment—With Infinite Clones!-Chapter 124: Symbiotic Reincarnated Eerie

This guy...
He definitely understood his own SS-tier ability, Divine Favor, better than Jiang Ye did.
Right now, he was clearly relying on that ability to remain fearless.
As if, if Jiang Ye attacked him, the one who’d suffer would only be Jiang Ye.
But for Jiang Ye, rather than just taking this guy out, what he really wondered was—
Did this guy’s blood also have some special property?
Even more, if this guy got some of Jiang Ye’s blood on him, would Divine Favor mutate somehow?
He actually wanted to try it.
But spilling blood directly... wouldn’t that be too weird?
Could he mix his blood into the Blood Mist using the Glyph Pattern Ability of the Blackened Replica?
That way, he could infect this lucky guy with his blood more discreetly?
Thinking that, Jiang Ye really did start sneakily trying to mix his blood into the Blood Mist.
His fingernails had gotten a bit long.
Just enough to quietly scratch a cut from beneath the nail.
In an instant, the blood dyed the skin between his fingers red, and silently dispersed into the Blood Mist.
However, his blood and this eerie Blood Mist didn’t seem to fuse easily.
Still, because the Blood Mist was there, this faint trace of blood was nearly invisible to the naked eye.
Under cover of the mist, he subtly manipulated the trace of blood to drift toward Chen Cang.
But with so little blood—what part of Chen Cang’s body should he aim for?
Jiang Ye considered two options: the eyes, or the nostrils.
Near the eyes, he might be noticed.
Toward the nose—who knew if it would actually get inhaled?
Jiang Ye tried both.
But just as a trace of blood neared Chen Cang’s nostrils,
a voice suddenly broke the tense silence.
“Then how about I cover his 2 Survival Points instead?”
It was Guan He who spoke.
Chen Cang immediately turned to glance at her, frowning slightly.
Jiang Ye took the opportunity to let the blood thread drift into Chen Cang’s breath.
Of course, he didn’t show anything on his face, and also turned to look at Guan He.
Guan He gave him a faint smile, waved her Survival Jade Token.
Jiang Ye frowned again and looked at Chen Cang.
Taking advantage of this eye contact, his aura surged suddenly.
Even the Blood Mist seemed to erupt explosively.
It really looked like he was about to attack Chen Cang.
But in reality—
Jiang Ye used this bluff to push another trace of blood toward Chen Cang’s pupil.
With the Blood Mist density spiking so suddenly, Chen Cang didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
In fact, he seemed excited by Jiang Ye’s sudden move!
But just as the bluff ended, Jiang Ye suddenly dispersed the Blood Mist.
Then he turned to Guan He, raised an eyebrow, and smiled: “Alright. As long as the Survival Points arrive.”
And just like that, Guan He transferred 2 Survival Points for Chen Cang.
After the transfer, she even gave Chen Cang a slight smile.
Chen Cang’s expression turned a little dark. He gave her a meaningful look, then vanished from the spot.
Seeing him disappear, He Yuliang wanted to bolt too.
He’d asked Jiang Ye earlier, but with no response, he hadn’t dared run.
But now, even the Blood Mist was gone...
His attributes were back to normal.
He Yuliang was just about to make a break for it when Guan He’s voice rang out.
She wasn’t speaking to him, but looking at Jiang Ye—
“You came here specifically to go on a killing spree — it must’ve been for Huang Bo, who’s trapped in the Void Mirror Palace, right?”
“With the Dark Spirit Barrier gone, Huang Bo can now escape easily.”
Hearing that, He Yuliang’s urge to run stalled.
Because if that were true...
Then Jiang Ye’s real target was Wang Hai and Wang Lin.
No wonder he let the rest of them off so easily.
But why help a Light-type?
Must be aiming for the Kill-on-Sight Order Reward, right?
Actually, He Yuliang wasn’t like the others.
He wanted the reward too.
But he knew very well...
That kind of high-profile prize isn’t something you can get just by wanting it.
Luck plays a big part.
And he didn’t trust his luck much.
Still, he was curious...
Maybe he could seize the Light-type's corpse while he had the chance?
If Jiang Ye was also aiming for the Light-type...
Then by staying put, maybe he had a shot at it too?
So He Yuliang stayed where he was.
But what Guan He said next crushed his hopes.
Seeing Jiang Ye silent, she continued:
“With your power, you probably can’t kill the Light-type.”
“But at the same time, you’re not really afraid of the Light-type either.”
“And we’re the same in that regard.”
He Yuliang frowned.
With Jiang Ye’s strength, even Wang Hai and Wang Lin had to flee—how could he not be able to kill the Light-type?
Was it because the Dark Spirit Barrier was gone and couldn’t trap the Light-type anymore?
But if that were it, why scare off Wang Hai and Wang Lin?
Wait!
He Yuliang suddenly realized—
The Blood Mist Jiang Ye had just used clearly had a Dark-type aura!
He...
He must be a Dark-type Being!
But then why did Guan He say he wasn’t really afraid of Light-type??
How could a Dark-type not fear Light-type?
And that “we’re the same” — what did she mean by that??
He Yuliang was totally confused.
But Lu Shen, whose head was sharper, had started to put some pieces together.
Jiang Ye, more than anyone, understood his own condition. He naturally understood what Guan He’s three sentences meant.
From Guan He’s perspective—
With his current ability, he couldn’t kill the Light-type.
Because in combat mode, his abilities clearly had a Dark-type aura!
In other words, even though he overwhelmed Wang Hai and Wang Lin enough to make them run,
that power was still countered by Light-type.
So he couldn’t use it to fight the Light-type directly.
But at the same time, he wasn’t that afraid of Light-type.
Because in his normal state, he wasn’t a Dark-type Being, and not subject to Light-type suppression.
As for “we’re the same” — that meant—
We’re both able to switch between Dark-type and non-Dark-type forms.
Right.
That’s what Guan He seemed to mean.
And also, a hint at her secret.
No wonder Jiang Ye had found her strange before—
Based on what he knew, she had a high chance of being a Dark-type Being.
Now it made sense.
She could be a Dark-type.
But she could also switch between Dark-type and non-Dark-type!
That kind of bizarre situation was honestly amazing.
Just like how during her duel with Lin Jing, spectators compared her to Blue Dragon Kui and Red Dragon Kui.
Which meant—when in Red Dragon Kui state, she was a Dark-type.
And in Blue Dragon Kui state, she was not.
Aside from that, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander—
Could she actually be some kind of Light-Dark hybrid?
When she’s not in Dark-type mode, could she possibly be Light-type...?
No way, no way! Absolutely not!
Aside from his own Replica Fusion, no one should be able to be both Light and Dark-type.
He quickly shut down that unrealistic train of thought and refocused on the girl in front of him.
“We’re the same...”
Jiang Ye repeated Guan He’s last words, then raised an eyebrow slightly and said:
“So, you’re also looking to cooperate with the Light-type?”
Guan He nodded and said directly: “I want to find the Light-type and join forces to kill the Apartment Boss.”
As soon as she said that, He Yuliang, Lu Shen, and Lu Fang were all utterly shocked.
Especially He Yuliang and Lu Fang, who’d played games before—when they looked at Guan He, it was like seeing a ghost.
Even Jiang Ye himself was somewhat surprised.
He stayed silent, but Guan He offered an explanation on her own:
“You should’ve seen me in the spectator stands when Lin Jing fought, right?”
“Like I said in the arena, I’ve been through Midnight Ring.”
“What I didn’t say is that Midnight Ring also brought me something... unusual.”
She paused here, sweeping her gaze over He Yuliang and the other onlookers. After thinking for a moment, she continued:
“There’s a Reincarnated Eerie coexisting inside my body.”
Symbiotic Reincarnated Eerie??!
He Yuliang and the others were still stunned by the idea.
But Jiang Ye stayed rather calm.
That’s what he had suspected too—
He could switch between Dark-type and non-Dark-type thanks to Replica Fusion.
This woman must also have a special reason for switching forms.
And now it seemed that special reason was the Symbiotic Reincarnated Eerie inside her.
According to what the Blackened Replica had said earlier—
Reincarnated Eerie in the Beginner Apartment kept reincarnating because it refused to invade players.
So the one inside Guan He...
should’ve also refused to invade players.
Yet, somehow, it had invaded Guan He.
But not completely—it had formed some kind of symbiotic relationship.
That caused Guan He to have a dual-soul state, with both red and blue forms.
Still, for a Reincarnated Eerie to break its own principles and enter her...
then her body before being invaded must’ve been something special too, otherwise the Reincarnated Eerie wouldn’t have taken interest.
And this idea of killing the Apartment Boss clearly didn’t originate from Guan He.
It must’ve come from the Symbiotic Reincarnated Eerie inside her...
Which meant—they might even know the White-Clad Woman.
But isn’t that too much of a coincidence?
What, two Reincarnated Eeries in the same reincarnation cycle both planning a revolt?
Was it just that they’d reincarnated too many times, and the risk of continuing was too high?
Or was there... some other reason?
Jiang Ye suddenly thought—
How many days had passed on the Moon Phase Clock in Doomsday Apartment?
In this perilous moment,
maybe not just the Reincarnated Eeries, but even Light-type Reincarnated Players wanted to kill the Apartment Boss!
Man, being an Apartment Boss really was a high-risk profession...
Still, actually pulling off the kill probably wouldn’t be so easy.
Jiang Ye’s thoughts shifted.
The Light-type Replica in the Void Mirror Palace transformed again via Light and Shadow Escape, fleeing toward Apartment 9669.
Meanwhile, during the time the Replica No. 3 (ice-type) had driven off Wang Hai and Wang Lin,
Replica No. 2 had returned to the Duel Machine, continuing his Win Streak.
Replica No. 1 had swapped places with the Blackened Replica that had reached Apartment 4444, arriving there without any cost.
The Eye of True Sight Replica, which had exited fusion, entered the Personal Instance.
At the same time, the F-tier Trash Replica in the Void Mirror Palace rolled the Dice of Fate five times.
It was the results of those five rolls that made Jiang Ye form a new theory about the repeated rolls of the Skull symbol.
In those five rolls, the first three landed on Scepter, Sword, and Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail effect was nothing new—just healed some nonexistent injuries again.
The Sword summoned a weapon—Scythe of Entropy Erasure.
The weapon looked like a black scythe.
But its material didn’t seem to be metal—it felt like some eerie kind of energy.
The dark energy made the blade look like a twisted space rift to the naked eye.
To Jiang Ye, it felt very similar to the Dark Spirit Barrier created by Wang Hai’s compass.
And the Scythe of Entropy Erasure was absolutely broken in power!
It had three main effects—
[Entropy Slash]: Targets struck by the scythe will disintegrate at the molecular level, the wound will not heal, and the disintegration spreads until total destruction.
[Entropy Drain]: Each enemy killed causes the scythe to absorb some “life entropy.” The wielder can extract it to temporarily boost their stats.
[Void Entropy State]: Consumes large amounts of life entropy, letting the user enter an entropy state immune to all attacks for a short time.
The Scythe of Entropy Erasure was clearly a concept-level item, absurdly overpowered.
Unfortunately, weapons summoned by the Dice of Fate came with time limits.
No matter how strong, Jiang Ye didn’t get to keep it—it only lasted one hour.
A one-in-six chance of death, traded for an hour with an insane item.
Guess it was kinda worth it.
As for the Scepter, it gave a flat attribute boost.
After the F-tier Replica rolled the Scepter, both Stamina and Energy went up by 10 points each!
These boosts were permanent—not timed!
So the effect? Insane!
The first time you eat a Silver-Tier Attribute Fruit, you only get +5 points!
Only the Golden-Tier Attribute Fruit gives +10 per stat.
Which meant the Scepter was equivalent to eating a Golden-Tier Stamina Fruit and a Golden-Tier Energy Fruit.
Even the Exchange List on the Golden-Tier Duel Machine didn’t offer Golden-Tier Attribute Fruits!
You had to find the Traveling Merchant and trade Survival Points for them.
And they likely weren’t cheap!
Plus, there were limits on how many Attribute Fruits you could consume!
Those limits meant top players couldn’t just widen the gap endlessly through Attribute Fruits.
But if you could roll the Scepter several times...
Wouldn’t that mean skyrocketing attributes and crushing top-tier players?
Too bad—after five rolls of the Dice of Fate, Jiang Ye finally noticed a pattern.
Because the last two rolls both came up as Skull.
Just like the Light-type before.
Now Jiang Ye suspected—
Rolling a Skull wasn’t about the Light-type.
It was about the player rolling the dice.
He figured the Dice of Fate considered the Light-type dead after the first Skull roll.
Even though the Light-type had survived thanks to Replica Substitution,
from the dice’s perspective, the Light-type was already a Skull.
A skull rolling dice... gets a Skull result.
Simply put—
Even if his Replica avoided death through Replica Substitution,
once a Skull was rolled once,
that Replica would always roll Skull from then on.
A single Replica couldn’t use Replica Substitution to endlessly roll the Dice of Fate.
So the idea of one Replica rolling the Scepter a hundred times and stacking infinite stats?
Not gonna happen.
But that was fine.
He could still fuse Replicas.
By having multiple Replicas roll multiple Scepters, then fusing them into the Main Body,
he could still raise his Main Body’s stats high!
To generate more Replicas, his Main Body needed high base attributes!
And the Dice of Fate—was another shortcut to power, aside from Attribute Fruits!
