Of course, exploring couldn’t happen right now.

After all, both Zhou Yuling and Jiang Ye himself placed great importance on this exploration of the [Court of Disorder].

Zhou Yuling had specifically used a very serious tone to explain the rules of entering the court to all her followers.

So at least regarding entering the court, Jiang Ye definitely couldn’t act recklessly.

What he was truly struggling with was—

After the maximum limit of 99,999 players entered the court, if his light clone that didn’t enter the court caused trouble in this pure black waiting area, would it affect the 99,999 players already inside the court?

Thinking about this, Jiang Ye suddenly remembered something he had overlooked before—

According to Zhou Yuling, the “waiting” time for each court session was 30 minutes.

And their session with 99,999 people would start early because it reached the court’s maximum capacity.

Those players entered early…

But would the 30-minute countdown pure black waiting area undergo any changes because the court reached maximum capacity?

So…

Previously, Jiang Ye had planned to arrange two teams of clones to thoroughly explore the entire Court of Disorder.

One team of 90,000 clones would enter the Court of Disorder according to Zhou Yuling’s arrangement;

The other team of less than 10 clones would choose to enter the court for independent exploration during the blank 30-second period between waiting times;

Now it seemed he should arrange a third team of clones to stay behind and explore this pure black waiting area after the court reached maximum capacity.

Only by doing this could he comprehensively cover all three aspects related to the Court of Disorder.

So…

Jiang Ye quickly considered the clone arrangement issues regarding the entire Court of Disorder exploration.

This line of thinking naturally led him to three details.

First, the “clone disconnection” problem.

These clones entering the [Court of Disorder] had naturally lost connection with the clones remaining outside.

So, to prevent the outside clones from worrying excessively.

He needed to arrange for one clone to choose <No> in the waiting area, exit the Court of Disorder, and then synchronize the known Court of Disorder information with the outside clones.

This was the first detail that needed attention.

Second, the arrangement of Clone No. 1.

The three exploration teams would undoubtedly consist of numerous light clones.

Among this massive light clone team, Clone No. 1 who generated these clones stood out conspicuously…

Because Clone No. 1 possessed the Glyph Pattern Ability and was considered a dark-type creature.

His original plan was to have Clone No. 1 enter the Court of Disorder as the spokesperson for interactions with Zhou Yuling.

Also to serve as the commander of the numerous puppet clones, leading the exploration during the court session phase.

But now the situation was special…

According to his speculation, under the influence of the milky-white gas, the clones he generated would most likely all be light clones.

So when the court session began, it would be 89,999 light clones plus one Clone No. 1 dark clone…

This combination just felt… discordant.

Jiang Ye instinctively felt that perhaps he should completely let 90,000 light clones enter the court to participate in the session phase.

That is, Clone No. 1 wouldn’t enter the court…

Of course, since most interactions with Zhou Yuling before had been through Clone No. 1.

Including joining the ten-thousand followers group chat, it was also Clone No. 1.

If Clone No. 1 didn’t enter the court, it would inevitably cause Zhou Yuling’s dissatisfaction and suspicion.

But honestly, with 90,000 light clones, wouldn’t Zhou Yuling already suspect him?

She’d probably question her entire existence…

So compared to the sensation caused by 90,000 light clones, Clone No. 1 not entering the court wasn’t such a big deal.

Truthfully, if the earliest light clone Huang Bo hadn’t been trapped in the Reincarnation Mirror Palace, Jiang Ye would definitely have wanted Huang Bo to lead 89,999 light clones into the court…

Unfortunately, Huang Bo…

Wait!!

This feeling of “unfortunate” was something Jiang Ye had experienced before!

In this moment, while thinking about light clone Huang Bo, Jiang Ye vaguely seemed to grasp something.

A sudden inspiration struck him—

Back when Huang Bo was trapped in the cycle grid, he had conceived an “unsolvable” speculation.

Because at that time, he needed 100,000 survival points to generate 100,000 puppet clones.

So, he thought about rescuing Huang Bo to obtain 100,000 survival points through the bounty reward.

And at that time, he speculated that the key to rescuing Huang Bo lay with the [Observer] clone.

He speculated that perhaps only the [Observer] clone could break the cycle grid.

But at that time, the [Observer] clone, like the main body, was trapped in the Court of Disorder.

Thus forming an unsolvable cycle—

[Observer] clone breaks cycle grid → rescues light clone → obtains 100,000 survival points to enter Court of Disorder → rescues main body and [Observer] clone.

This cycle was broken because Jiang Ye obtained 100,000 survival points through other means.

So, the so-called “unsolvable” naturally resolved itself.

But combining this with the current situation and looking back at that previous speculation…

Jiang Ye suddenly felt—

Perhaps the positions of the light clone and [Observer] clone had been swapped?

At this moment, the one who should be in the cycle grid should be the [Observer] clone;

And the one leading the Court of Disorder exploration should be the light clone!

And the cycle grid and Court of Disorder, both capable of isolating clone senses, might also share some connection or similarity?

Through such speculation, Jiang Ye naturally became more convinced—

What should participate in the Court of Disorder session phase should be 90,000 light clones, not one Clone No. 1 dark clone leading 89,999 light clones.

Thus, the clone arrangement issue for the session phase could be decided—just 90,000 light clones, without mixing other clones!

When the time came, he could just have a conscious light clone lead the team.

The above was the second detail.

And the third detail Jiang Ye thought of…

Was understanding Zhou Yuling’s previous lie.

When Zhou Yuling explained the Court of Disorder to her followers, she said the maximum capacity was 9,999 people.

At that time, Jiang Ye didn’t quite understand why she lied.

But now, actually being in the Court of Disorder waiting area and having divided the entire Court of Disorder exploration into three phases.

Jiang Ye understood Zhou Yuling’s thinking.

Actually, he should have realized it earlier—

Could Zhou Yuling’s seemingly perfect arrangement really proceed perfectly?

Clearly, her plan had obvious flaws.

That was information blockade.

That was information blockade.

Those followers inevitably had their own connections.

And most also had their own affiliated organizations.

Like Xu Gou, who had been confirmed to be connected to the Card Grandmaster.

So among other followers, wouldn’t there be people inserted by major players?

Thus, it was very likely that after major players got the information, they would forcibly intervene in Zhou Yuling’s Court of Disorder exploration!

That is, after truly entering the Court of Disorder session phase, Zhou Yuling’s follower players might be replaced by major players.

If the court’s maximum capacity was really 9,999 people.

Then replacement of Zhou Yuling’s followers might cause some impact.

But when the maximum capacity expanded to 99,999 people.

Then those 9,999 people were only one-tenth of the maximum capacity.

So, the impact caused by replaced followers was actually not significant.

Zhou Yuling probably anticipated in advance that there might be traitors among her followers who would be replaced by major players behind them, which was why she deliberately stated the maximum capacity as 9,999.

This way, when those few replacement followers who were actually major players entered the court and saw the actual number was 99,999, they would naturally be stunned.

At that time, Zhou Yuling could use her absolute numerical advantage to negotiate with the intruding major players from a position of total control.

Of course, Zhou Yuling had good plans, but she definitely didn’t anticipate the situation with 90,000 light clones…

And why did Jiang Ye guess these things?

Because when he thought about sending a third team of clones to explore the post-session waiting area…

He naturally thought—regarding the Court of Disorder exploration, Zhou Yuling likely had concealed information from him.

He naturally thought—regarding the Court of Disorder exploration, Zhou Yuling likely had concealed information from him.

They just didn’t tell players who only participated in the session phase!

Perhaps even, the post-session waiting area might not only have players from the Defenders’ Alliance exploring, but also major players behind the followers.

After all, according to Zhou Yuling’s words—

This session Jiang Ye was participating in should be the first time the maximum capacity situation was achieved.

So this special circumstance of the waiting area triggered for the first time definitely had exploration value!

At this point, Jiang Ye formed a complete logical chain in his mind.

During the previous internal turmoil in the White Tower, wasn’t it divided into “big brother faction” and “little brother faction”?

What Jiang Ye hadn’t considered deeply was—

How could Zhou Yuling of the Defenders’ Alliance recruit so many “big brothers” from other top organizations to work for her?

The simplest example—why would Zi Sang Haoyun of the Salvation Organization help Zhou Yuling recruit people within the Salvation Organization?

Behind this, there was probably some transaction.

The real “big brothers” behind the “big brothers” in the “big brother faction” among those followers might also appear in the post-session waiting area of the Court of Disorder!

Understanding this, Jiang Ye naturally became even more tense.

He suddenly realized—

The exploration of the Abyss Restricted Zone and Court of Disorder might be major events for the entire Doomsday Apartment!

Known interveners in the Abyss Restricted Zone exploration already included Lin Ling, chubby guy, and shadow phantom—three different types of permission identity major players!

So, the post-session waiting area of the Court of Disorder might possibly see the appearance of [VIP Player] type permission identity major players?

Only at this moment did Jiang Ye finally feel that sense of impending storm…

Speaking of which, his previous “bad premonition”—could it be about this post-session waiting area of the Court of Disorder?

Under this premonition, Jiang Ye even hesitated for a moment—

Maybe he shouldn’t explore the post-session waiting area?

If his main body wasn’t most likely trapped in the Court of Disorder.

Then he probably really wouldn’t explore it.

After all, knowing there was danger yet exposing so many light clones to explore really didn’t match his cautious personality.

But, it concerned his main body.

No matter how dangerous, no matter how much exposure risk…

He had to go!

Thinking this way, the third team of clones exploring the waiting area might need to be increased.

And preferably, well equipped.

Other items might have pitfalls, couldn’t be used recklessly.

But an entire Mask Master’s Shop worth of masks could probably be utilized…

Plus, Clone No. 1’s survival points were almost depleted now.

So, Jiang Ye needed support from the outside clones.

Thus, he needed to first transmit this internal information to the outside clones.

Then, a new problem emerged—

Who should be sent to leave the Court of Disorder to synchronize information with the outside clones?

Right now in the waiting area, he only had light clones and Clone No. 1.

The light clones were freshly made and had no items to conceal their light-type aura.

They might be discovered by major players immediately upon exiting…

So, the only one who could leave was Clone No. 1.

But according to Zhou Yuling’s previous words—

Once you chose <No> to exit the Court of Disorder, you couldn’t enter again later…

While Jiang Ye was pondering and hesitating, the countdown in his vision eventually moved from over 3 minutes to the final 30 seconds.

Including the blank period’s 30 seconds, that was only one minute.

Jiang Ye felt that his thinking under this countdown pressure might still have some overlooked details…

But, time was too urgent!

But, time was too urgent!

Finally, when the countdown showed [00:22]…

Jiang Ye still decided to have his only non-light clone make a choice regarding the prompt in his mind—

<No>!

However…

According to Zhou Yuling’s words…

Including the information about the Court of Disorder that Jiang Ye himself possessed…

He should indeed exit the [Court of Disorder] after choosing <No>.

But Jiang Ye’s mind received an additional process—

<The next [Maximum Capacity Court] is about to begin, are you sure you want to force exit?>

<The next [Maximum Capacity Court] is about to begin, are you sure you want to force exit?>

<No>

This message shocked Jiang Ye once more.

Because this was a prompt Zhou Yuling hadn’t mentioned, and it wasn’t in any Court of Disorder information Jiang Ye knew!

That meant…

The prompt in his mind had already predicted the arrival of the Maximum Capacity Court in advance!

And with such a prompt existing…

Then if there were players who accidentally entered the Court of Disorder in this waiting area, couldn’t they also get this information in advance?

Then if there were players who accidentally entered the Court of Disorder in this waiting area, couldn’t they also get this information in advance?

Moreover, Jiang Ye vaguely felt—

If the [Court of Disorder] itself could anticipate the arrival of the Maximum Capacity Court…

If the [Court of Disorder] itself could anticipate the arrival of the Maximum Capacity Court…

Jiang Ye felt inexplicably nervous and panicked inside.

Jiang Ye felt inexplicably nervous and panicked inside.

That is, force exit!

That is, force exit!

Yet, the moment he chose force exit…

Clone No. 1 Jiang Ye inexplicably experienced an indescribable feeling of great terror.

Simultaneously, he witnessed with his own eyes a light clone standing beside him instantly turn into points of light!

A light clone had just died like that!

Clone Sacrifice!

That meant…

When Clone No. 1 chose force exit…

When Clone No. 1 chose force exit…

Only this could explain where the [Clone Sacrifice] came from!

Hiss…
