Just as Jiang Ye was mulling things over, he saw Lin Ling—also visibly surprised—suddenly turn to Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao and say:

“You’re saying—you have AIDS Blood?”

The moment she said that, the previously chaotic Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao suddenly froze.

Clearly, Wan Xin had just realized too late that in his desperation to save himself,

he had blurted out something as taboo as having AIDS Blood in front of everyone…

But he quickly seemed to notice—

This intimidating big sister in front of him… actually seemed interested in AIDS Blood.

He immediately responded,

“Yes! I—”

He didn’t even finish the word “I” before Yang Wenchao took control of the body again.

The statement abruptly changed to:

“He has AIDS, I don’t! This body is mine, fair and square—obviously I wouldn’t have something like AIDS!”

His tone was firm and resolute.

But then, his whole body suddenly went rigid.

Clearly, the tiger that was Lin Ling had finally bared her fangs.

Just a single look from her sent chills down Yang Wenchao’s spine—his scalp tingled, and his legs turned to jelly!

Terrified, he immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Seeing him finally get the message, Lin Ling coldly ordered:

“If you don’t want to die, let the one with AIDS answer me now.”

Of course, Yang Wenchao didn’t want to die.

So the next second, Wan Xin took over the body again.

And all that ran through Wan Xin’s mind was: For f**k’s sake, I’m not “the one with AIDS”! My name is Wan Xin!

He was completely numb.

It felt like the entire world now knew he had AIDS…

This woman didn’t even care what his name was—she just straight-up labeled him AIDS.

Wan Xin’s soul was absolutely crushed.

And facing Lin Ling now, he could only parrot what Yang Wenchao had just said:

“Well, I think Yang Wenchao’s got a point…”

“I mean, maybe now, I…”

Before he could finish, Lin Ling shot him a look. “You did have AIDS before, right?”

Wan Xin, even more of a coward than Yang Wenchao, nodded obediently.

Satisfied with that, Lin Ling calmly took action—first drawing a tube of blood from Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao.

Then she pulled out a glass bottle and said kindly,

“A Multi-Souled Body… with bonus AIDS Blood…”

“ Tsk tsk, a perfect test subject.”

“Well then, welcome to my experiment jar!”

And with a flash—

So fast that no one else could even see it happen—she sealed Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao inside the bottle.

Watching from the side, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Great. The Light-type players were saved, but they lost two teammates in the process…

What made it funnier was—

Earlier, Yang Wenchao had jokingly “guessed” that Wan Xin had AIDS.

And now, judging by Lin Ling’s words, it seemed like this new version of Yang Wenchao… actually did end up infected!

What a cruel joke fate played ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Jiang Ye was purely in “spectator mode” at this point—just another curious onlooker in the crowd.

And right after Lin Ling sealed away the high-profile Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao,

Jiang Ye’s Replica No. 1 suddenly realized something—

The red and green stones he’d obtained in the Secret Graveyard…

Were gone!

Nowhere to be found on him—as if they’d vanished into thin air!

What the h*ll?

Could it be that the coffin transmission mechanism between the two graveyards only brought back bodies, but not items?

If so… then where the heck did those two stones go?

Jiang Ye puzzled over it for just a moment.

Then—he discovered something shocking!

On the Data Panel of his first-born Replica—the one who only had a C-tier Gold Element Affinity—

There were now two new Abilities and two new Glyph Pattern Abilities!

The two Abilities were:

S-tier Fire Element Affinity

S-tier Wood Element Affinity

The two Glyph Pattern Abilities were:

Fleshweaving

Flesh Devouring

The Glyph Pattern Abilities were pretty common.

But two new S-tier Abilities?

And—Fire and Wood??

Did that… correspond to the red and green stones?!

So those vanished stones had transformed into new Abilities?!

What the—?!

This kind of effect would be completely game-breaking for any regular player!

Gaining additional Abilities was normally insanely difficult!

But now, just by using graveyard stones, Jiang Ye had acquired two new Abilities and more Glyph Pattern powers—for free!

Of course, for someone like Jiang Ye, who had Infinite Replication,

The value of extra Abilities wasn’t as high as it might be for others.

But still—this effect was absolutely insane!

More importantly—

Buying Little Eeries from the mysterious Eerie Nurturer cost money.

Awakening Glyph Pattern Abilities through regular methods came with risks.

But these extra Glyph Pattern Abilities…

Seemed to be stone-granted—with zero cost!

What the actual f**k?! Jiang Ye was now even more reluctant to trade the Secret Graveyard to the Apartment Trader!

The place was huge—so many grave mounds…

Who knew how many stones like those were still buried?!

If he could turn all of them into his assets…

How many more Abilities? How many more Glyph Pattern powers?!

And more importantly—

Each of these new S-tier Abilities came with multiple built-in S-tier Skills! They looked luxurious!

They directly turned his previously mediocre Replica No. 1 into an absolute powerhouse!

Among all his S-tier Replicas, Replica No. 1 had now probably climbed to the very top in terms of power!

He couldn’t help but wonder—how would this revived version of Replica No. 1 stack up against his S-tier Spatial-Type Replica?

While reeling from the shock of Replica No. 1’s upgraded Data Panel, Jiang Ye also had a new theory:

What if those red and green stones from the Secret Graveyard… were actually the “parked” accounts of game players?

Back when he learned that Yang Wenchao and Wan Xin had been able to resurrect in the Underground Graveyard because they’d parked their accounts in the Secret Graveyard during the game,

Jiang Ye had already been pondering:

If a player parks their account in the game—like Yang Wenchao and Wan Xin—and then enters the Beginner Apartment without dying…

That parked status should already be in place.

Only when they die would the resurrection effect trigger.

So from this angle, the effect is essentially like a resurrection item.

And any such effect should logically depend on some kind of medium.

Previously, Jiang Ye thought maybe the graveyard had pre-prepared physical bodies.

That the moment the player died, their body would activate and complete the resurrection.

But now…

It looked like the resurrection effect was actually tied to those red and green stones—resurrection artifacts.

While the parked player remained alive in the Beginner Apartment,

The red and green stones stayed dormant, buried quietly under the mounds.

Only when the parked player died would the resurrection stone activate and bring them back in the Underground Graveyard.

And now, Jiang Ye—who had taken control of the Secret Graveyard—

Was basically in possession of all the parked players’ resurrection items!

And just now, he had unknowingly used two of them—other people’s resurrection items!

Those two S-tier Abilities?

They likely belonged to the original players who had parked their accounts.

As for the Glyph Pattern Abilities, they seemed to be the default bonus upon resurrection.

Both Wan Xin and Yang Wenchao had gotten them the same way…

This explanation cleared up a lot for Jiang Ye.

And made him all the more convinced—

The 4444 Administrator identity probably hid secrets far beyond what players currently understood!

Not just because of the Reincarnation Seal that even the Apartment Trader coveted…

But because the Secret Graveyard itself might be the only part of the real-world Doomsday Apartment that was directly influenced by the game.

Game players had no real advantage in the Apartments—

Except if they had parked an account in the Graveyard.

This connection between the virtual and the real made the Secret Graveyard incredibly unique.

Jiang Ye was now even more determined to dig into what other hidden aspects the 4444 Administrator identity might contain.

And the Graveyard…

He even wondered—if he brought a Raven Egg into a coffin…

What would happen when he came out the other side in the Underground Graveyard?

As Jiang Ye’s mind churned with possibilities,

Lin Ling—having safely stowed away the experiment bottle containing Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao—swept her gaze over the others who had emerged from the same batch of coffins.

Yes, there had been three coffins.

One produced Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao.

One produced Replica No. 1 of Jiang Ye.

The third… revealed an unfamiliar face.

No doubt another player who had resurrected from a parked game account.

He was a young man, average-looking, with single eyelids and a cold, indifferent expression.

When he first emerged from the coffin, he looked completely bewildered and disoriented.

But his attention was quickly drawn by the chaos surrounding Yang-Wan-Wen-Xin-Chao, and he became just another bystander watching the drama unfold.

Now that the “main event” was over and Lin Ling had stowed away the fusion freak,

The young man seemed ready to quietly take his leave.

Apparently, he hadn’t realized just how dangerous Lin Ling really was.

Jiang Ye was waiting to see her snatch the guy back in one move…

But to his surprise, Lin Ling didn’t move.

She acted like she hadn’t even noticed the guy walking away.

That left Jiang Ye wondering—

Should he try pulling the same clueless move and just walk away too?

…But the thought passed in a flash.

What he actually did was have his Eye of True Sight Replica merge into Replica No. 1 and scan the guy’s info.

And that one scan—

Left Jiang Ye completely stunned.
