This?!
Doesn't this an...
The entire [Court of Disorder] has now beco a one-way entrance with no exit?!
And Clone No. 1 who just entered the [Court of Disorder], along with the over 90,000 clones generated, will appear as permanently missing to the clones outside?!
At this mont, with the urgency brought by the countdown ticking away second by second, Jiang Ye's entire being, all his nerves, were stretched taut.
And now, with only 20 seconds left on the countdown...
He had to make a decision quickly—
How to handle these missing clones at this mont;
Whether this sowhat abrupt Clone No. 1 among the nurous light clones should choose to enter the court during the blank 30 seconds, or stay in the waiting area to await a storm of bloodshed...
Whether this sowhat abrupt Clone No. 1 among the nurous light clones should choose to enter the court during the blank 30 seconds, or stay in the waiting area to await a storm of bloodshed...
In these extrely urgent monts, Jiang Ye's brain shifted into high-speed operation mode.
The clones outside certainly weren't idle either.
The mont the red-lit elevator opened on the 18th floor.
The external clones naturally sensed Clone No. 1's disappearance.
However, having been psychologically prepared beforehand, the external clones didn't panic excessively.
And were basically certain—
The missing Clone No. 1 would definitely send a clone to exit the Court of Disorder, to facilitate synchronizing the information from the missing portion with the external clones.
Of course, certainty aside.
Jiang Ye remained a cautious character by nature.
He couldn't afford not to keep a backup plan, to prepare for special circumstances in the extre court that might prevent clones from returning with ssages.
So...
He couldn't afford not to keep a backup plan, to prepare for special circumstances in the extre court that might prevent clones from returning with ssages.
Of course, unsurprisingly, Lin Ling asked her aningfully:
[During your eting, did you also arrange to et with Jiang Ye?]
Xiao Bai knew this matter couldn't be hidden from Lin Ling, so she openly admitted:
[Yes, because both Sister Yuling and I had this very uneasy feeling...]
[Even, I vaguely developed a conjecture.]
[Although the alliance's inference was—Sister Yuling should explore the Court of Disorder, while I explore the Abyss Restricted Zone.]
[Even, I vaguely developed a conjecture.]
[That is to say, Sister Yuling's and my tasks might have been swapped.]
[So I proposed a "bold idea" to exchange tasks with Sister Yuling...]
[Of course, I ultimately failed to persuade Sister Yuling.]
[I also know that the Defenders' Alliance researchers have far greater foresight than . Perhaps their inference is correct, and my premonition is just an illusion...]
[But, just to be safe, I finally proposed that Sister Yuling and I each use the replica mirror to create mirrored clones.]
[I also know that the Defenders' Alliance researchers have far greater foresight than . Perhaps their inference is correct, and my premonition is just an illusion...]
[So, I traded for the Clone Replica Mirror with Jiang Ye. As for the eting, it was proposed by Jiang Ye...]
[This way, when I explore the Abyss Restricted Zone, I'll bring Sister Yuling's mirrored clone, and when Sister Yuling explores the Court of Disorder, she'll bring my mirrored clone, which might help in so tricky situations.]
And she believed Lin Ling would accept this reasoning.
Because according to Xiao Bai's knowledge, during the initial task assignnt issue regarding the two exploration missions, Lin Ling had also preferred having Zhou Yuling explore the Abyss Restricted Zone.
It's just that, sohow, the researchers cultivated within the Defenders' Alliance presented so crucial evidence.
Because according to Xiao Bai's knowledge, during the initial task assignnt issue regarding the two exploration missions, Lin Ling had also preferred having Zhou Yuling explore the Abyss Restricted Zone.
It's just that, sohow, the researchers cultivated within the Defenders' Alliance presented so key evidence.
Indeed, Lin Ling didn't question these explanations.
However, she soon asked:
[Trading the replica mirror with Jiang Ye is fine, but what was the purpose of the isolation detection asures?]
To this question, Xiao Bai had also prepared an explanation:
[This was to gain Jiang Ye's trust.]
[Jiang Ye has a unique clone 'Xiao Hei', and based on my judgnt, 'Xiao Hei' is likely of the sa origin as the Black Snake I raised.]
[So I wanted to borrow Xiao Hei from Jiang Ye to explore the Abyss Restricted Zone together.]
[But if I asked directly, Jiang Ye definitely wouldn't agree.]
[To gain his trust, I pretended a bit, feigning intentions to betray the Defenders' Alliance, claiming borrowing Xiao Hei was for self-protection.]
[With Sister Yuling's acting cooperation, Jiang Ye believed my story, and I successfully borrowed Xiao Hei.]
Just this series of explanations...
[With Sister Yuling's acting cooperation, Jiang Ye believed my story, and I successfully borrowed Xiao Hei.]
And Lin Ling, seeing her provide such detailed account, naturally didn't suspect anything, only asking further:
[Given Jiang Ye's personality, if you wanted to borrow Xiao Hei, he must have extorted quite a bit from you?]
And Lin Ling, seeing her provide such detailed account, naturally didn't suspect anything, only asking further:
Actually, Xiao Bai and Zhou Yuling didn't possess much crucial information anyway.
And so things, as ti progressed, Jiang Ye would naturally learn.
Actually, Xiao Bai and Zhou Yuling didn't possess much key information anyway.
Lin Ling pondered for a mont, the only sowhat surprising thing being:
[It seems Jiang Ye holds quite a favorable opinion of you, exchanging Xiao Hei for just so information. When Zhou Yuling and I asked him for ten thousand puppet clones, we had to pay twelve thousand survival points...]
This statent, seemingly an exclamation, actually carried a hint of questioning.
Xiao Bai remained unflustered, directly replying: [I could tell that Jiang Ye probably also wanted Xiao Hei to explore the Abyss Restricted Zone.]
This statent, seemingly an exclamation, actually carried a hint of questioning.
After sending this ssage, Lin Ling waited almost a full minute before replying:
[So, are you confident in taming Xiao Hei?]
Xiao Bai directly replied: [About seventy to eighty percent sure, though it might take so ti.]
Lin Ling: [Okay. The chess ga here still needs to undergo several more mutations, so you should have over an hour. Use the upcoming ti to properly ta Xiao Hei on that radiation soil.]
Xiao Bai instantly replied: [Yes.]
Simultaneously, while Xiao Bai was "reporting" her eting results with Zhou Yuling to Lin Ling.
The Jiang Ye clones outside the Court of Disorder, due to the court clones' disappearance situation, directly selected clone fusion with Xiao Hei.
Then, using Xiao Hei's perspective of "Xiao Bai's hair," he transmitted a ssage to Xiao Bai:
"Right now, as I'm speaking with you, can that crazy woman detect it?"
Jiang Ye deliberately imitated Xiao Hei's sowhat stiff and wooden tone.
When Xiao Bai suddenly heard the voice, she was slightly startled for an instant.
But quickly, she stabilized her mind and also transmitted back ntally:
"No. You can speak directly if you have sothing to say."
Jiang Ye, impersonating Xiao Hei, said bluntly:
"It's not that I have sothing to say, it's that my master asked to deliver a ssage."
"Master said you should be able to guess it."
Yes, Xiao Bai had already suspected sothing.
At this point, she naturally said directly:
"Does Jiang Ye want to borrow a strand of hair from ?"
This was sothing she had thought of during Jiang Ye and Zhou Yuling's conversation when he proposed the conjecture that "Black Snake can counter the milky-white gas."
She had felt then that Jiang Ye would probably ask her for a strand of hair.
But he didn't.
This was sothing she had thought of during Jiang Ye and Zhou Yuling's conversation when he proposed the conjecture that "Black Snake can counter the milky-white gas."
It was probably because Jiang Ye thought that if Zhou Yuling were present, she definitely wouldn't agree.
So he waited until she and Zhou Yuling separated before coming to make this request.
Indeed, "Xiao Hei's" next words confird her conjecture—
"Yes, such a good thing that can counter the milky-white gas, of course Master wants it."
The White-Robed Woman calmly asked ntally:
Indeed, "Xiao Hei's" next words confird her conjecture—
"Xiao Hei's" tone was straightforward.
Though saying sothing ruthless enough, the voice wasn't forceful.
Instead, it was calm, like stating a fact—
"Master said he plans to use Zhou Yuling's life in exchange for your strand of black hair."
Though saying sothing harsh enough, the voice wasn't forceful.
Instead, it was calm, like stating a fact—
For that instant, the air fell silent, as if ti stood still.
Imdiately after, Xiao Hei continued calmly:
"Of course, Master also said—"
"If I can complete this task, he'll reward with a drop of his blood."
Imdiately after, Xiao Hei continued calmly:
The air remained silent.
Xiao Bai didn't respond for a long while.
"And he hinted not to consu this blood drop imdiately. Wait until exploring the Abyss Restricted Zone to see if there's a good timing to use it."
Because he wasn't sure how long the countdown would be after Clone No. 1 entered the Court of Disorder.
If it were over twenty minutes, then ti would still be relatively ample.
But if it were only a few minutes...
Then possibly, by the ti his later clones brought Xiao Bai's Black Snake into the Court of Disorder, they might have missed the session with the earlier entered clones.
Moreover, as ti passed, Jiang Ye outside grew increasingly uneasy.
Because he was absolutely certain—
If the Court of Disorder allowed free exit...
Then Clone No. 1 would definitely arrange for a clone to exit the court to synchronize the missing information with the external clones.
Because he was absolutely certain—
He naturally had to suspect the state of the Court of Disorder!
Mainly, this state of disappearance was really too unbearable for him!
But until now, no clone had erged to bring back ssages...
But fortunately, before his patience ran out, the White-Robed Woman finally transmitted to him again:
Mainly, this state of disappearance was really too unbearable for him!
Under such unbearable emotions, Jiang Ye even considered directly attacking the White-Robed Woman to forcibly seize her Black Snake hair.
But then, the White-Robed Woman continued:
"However, I left myself a way out—"
At this sentence, Jiang Ye almost directly took action.
"You need to pick a yellowing leaf with black spots from the treetop without touching the trunk, branches, or leaves..."
"That particular leaf connects to a secret space."
"You can obtain a dying, or already dead, Black Snake from that space..."
"Yes, I'm not sure if that Black Snake I left as a backup is still alive."
"Actually, if it's dead, you bear significant responsibility..."
Xiao Bai's words sounded sowhat weary.
But her tone also carried a sincerity that ca from being too tired to bother lying.
And as Jiang Ye listened, he felt sowhat shaken inside.
Xiao Bai's words sounded sowhat weary.
"You..."
And as Jiang Ye listened, he felt sowhat shaken inside.
But Xiao Bai directly gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
What Jiang Ye wanted to ask was—
He didn't voice his speculation.
Because during the ntal conversation with "Xiao Hei", the White-Robed Woman directly used "you"!
Not "your master"!
Her tone was completely like speaking directly with Jiang Ye himself...
So she knew that this Xiao Hei was currently occupied by Jiang Ye's consciousness...
This...
Countless thoughts rapidly flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.
Xiao Bai then continued wearily explaining:
"Because that secret space was already unstable..."
"And two instances of [Apartnt Fusion] had quite a significant impact on that little black snake..."
Xiao Bai then continued wearily explaining:
During the first apartnt fusion experience on the top floor, the White-Robed Woman's reaction had been noticeably panicked.
She disappeared for a while, and only upon returning did Jiang Ye take her strand of hair and escape across apartnts...
So the apartnt fusion back then had affected her secretly raised little black snake...
Later, the White-Robed Woman's apartnt underwent fusion with the 4444 Apartnt...
So, strictly speaking, if the little black snake was dying or dead, it sowhat made sense to bla Jiang Ye.
And Jiang Ye, pressed for ti, imdiately took action upon receiving the information from Xiao Bai.
Originally, the clones he had assigned to lead leveling in the 9999 Apartnt were now mostly mobilized.
Through clone swapping, it took only seconds for an S-grade talent level 10 clone to arrive at the White-Robed Woman's Room 2064.
Jiang Ye was also relieved that he had specifically morized the coordinates to the tree leading to the top floor, saving ti now by not needing to ask for coordinates.
While the clone in the 「Dense Forest Space」 began its action.
The clone fused within Xiao Hei's body continued asking the White-Robed Woman:
Jiang Ye was also relieved that he had specifically morized the coordinates to the tree leading to the top floor, saving ti now by not needing to ask for coordinates.
"Or, can you tell in detail what that ability of Lin Ling's, where she condenses a water screen to observe surroundings, is specifically called?"
The White-Robed Woman had actually always been quite good to Jiang Ye.
Most of the ti, she wouldn't ignore his confusion.
Now, she directly answered:
"That's an ability called 【Water Screen Eye】."
"Water vapor within fixed coordinates can automatically condense into her eyes."
Most of the ti, she wouldn't ignore his confusion.
"The Abyss Restricted Zone also has Water Screen Eyes."
"I've paid attention to the 「Dense Forest Space」, it has never had Water Screen Eyes installed."
"But if you're worried, you can also test with fire-based talents. Within firelight, Water Screen Eyes will beco clearly visible."
The clone in the Dense Forest Space had already found that tree.
And Jiang Ye, occupying Xiao Hei's body, suddenly asked the White-Robed Woman abruptly:
"If I directly set fire to this Dense Forest Space..."
"What would happen?"
