Chapter 341: Chapter 341
It must be said that Jiang Ye's heart truly wavered for a moment—
After all, they were all people about to die anyway.
Why not satisfy her small request and let her fuse with the light clone? Thɪs chapter is updated by noⅴelfire.net
With the Light and Shadow Escape enhancement, actions would indeed be more efficient.
He even couldn't help entertaining a twisted thought—
Zhou Yuling was currently disguised as him!
If he could kill her with one strike…
Wouldn't that directly achieve the [clone kills clone] effect, gaining Zhou Yuling as a powerful clone?
However, Jiang Ye ultimately restrained this idea.
Having Zhou Yuling herself complete the task of luring away the strong experts around the Formless Tree would yield higher efficiency and success rate.
Moreover, he currently didn't have absolute confidence in killing Zhou Yuling with one hundred percent certainty.
Rash action would instead easily expose more information!
And Zhou Yuling at this moment clearly wanted to probe for more of his information!
Thinking this way, Jiang Ye directly shook his head:
"No matter how efficient it is, it's useless! Such an absurd thing, I truly cannot accomplish it!"
"A clone is a clone, you are you! Just because you disguise yourself as me, does that make you my clone? Nothing so ridiculous exists in this world!"
He spoke as if it were perfectly natural, his tone decisive and unwavering.
Zhou Yuling was almost convinced by his argument.
After pondering briefly, she raised an eyebrow and asked:
"So, it must use [Phantom Parasite] to completely replicate everything about you to be judged as your clone?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye instantly understood how she had guessed these things.
Clearly, what happened to Wu Ying before had attracted the attention of the big shots.
At that time, Wu Ying was confused and didn't understand what was happening.
But as those high-level big shots investigated and learned about Jiang Ye's information, they would naturally develop various speculations.
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, then simply nodded directly:
"Indeed. Using glyph pattern abilities like [Phantom Parasite] to replicate everything about me will be judged as my clone. So I can use clone abilities on Wu Ying who bears my identity."
This kind of half-truth, half-false information disclosure wasn't bad.
On one hand, it explained the abnormal situation that occurred with Wu Ying before;
On the other hand, it didn't expose all his trump cards.
After all, the glyph pattern ability [Phantom Parasite] itself was quite rare.
Using this rare ability to be judged as his clone was more acceptable than simply using a disguise mask to be judged as his clone.
This was what Jiang Ye thought.
But honestly, this truth mixed with falsehood had already shocked Zhou Yuling quite a bit!
Mirrored clones being judged as his clones…
Phantom Parasite replicating him also being judged as his clones…
Such a high judgment level was extremely rare throughout the entire Doomsday Apartment!
Such talent ability must be at least SSS-level!
And among SSS-level talents, it was probably quite top-tier!
Thinking this, a complex, contemplative look flashed in Zhou Yuling's eyes.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly blurted out:
"Your clone talent, could it be SSSS-level?"
"……" Jiang Ye paused briefly, then said with a straight face: "No."
"Actually, my talent is SSSSSSSSS-level!"
"……" Such obvious nonsense naturally wasn't believed by Zhou Yuling.
Since Jiang Ye refused to say, she naturally couldn't press further.
However, after a moment of silence, Zhou Yuling suddenly took out a [Raven Feather] emitting glyph patterns.
The effect of [Raven Feather] was to absorb the glyph pattern abilities of dark-type creatures.
Thus it was practically the natural enemy of all dark-type creatures.
Simultaneously, it was also an important item that allowed Defender players to use glyph pattern abilities.
The [Raven Feather] Zhou Yuling took out clearly had strange patterns floating on it.
Indicating that this [Raven Feather] already stored some glyph pattern ability.
"Coincidentally, this Raven Feather stores the glyph pattern ability [Phantom Parasite]."
"So, how about you simply kill me once now, let me parasitize you, achieving phantom replication of your identity?"
"This way, if I use [Phantom Parasite] to replicate you again, I should be able to fuse with this light clone, right?"
Zhou Yuling said this lightly.
However, Jiang Ye heard this and felt his entire chest go numb!
Holy motherfucking shit!
How could he have forgotten about this!
The glyph pattern ability [Phantom Parasite] was indeed special.
To obtain replication of someone's identity, one must first be killed by that "someone" once.
After being killed, the player possessing [Phantom Parasite] would revive by parasitizing the other's shadow!
This was the process Wu Ying went through back then.
Originally an ordinary parasitic process…
But if combined with the [clone kills clone] effect, it would be an absolute game-changer!
Jiang Ye was almost certain!
If he let Zhou Yuling maintain his appearance and kill her…
Then, the [clone kills clone] effect would definitely trigger before the [Phantom Parasite] effect!
Then, Zhou Yuling would directly become his clone!
Holy fucking shit! Happiness came too suddenly, Jiang Ye almost couldn't hold back from laughing out loud!
No no, need to restrain a bit.
Calm down! Calm down!
This kind of initiative to deliver kills wasn't happening for the first time!
Don't act like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world!
Composure! Must maintain composure!
Jiang Ye forcibly suppressed his smile that was harder to control than an AK-47.
Just as he was about to put on a composed face and agree to Zhou Yuling's brilliant idea.
However, before he could speak…
He saw Zhou Yuling, having thought of something, withdraw that [Raven Feather].
Then, she changed back to her own appearance while taking out a [Carefree Dao Stone] with floating light and shadow, changing her tune:
"I don't understand your clone abilities well enough. Becoming your clone rashly carries too high a risk."
The corners of Jiang Ye's mouth that he had forcibly suppressed twitched slightly.
He screamed hysterically in his heart: Don't just forget it!
Becoming my clone is so great!
The benefits and treatment are excellent!!
At that time, all clone skills would be available for your free use!
Even practically equivalent to having an immortal body!!
Such heaven-defying opportunity…
If you miss this one, who knows when the next will come!
In his heart, Jiang Ye desperately wanted to grab Zhou Yuling by the ear and give her a thorough scolding.
However, he understood even more clearly that he couldn't reveal too much information to Zhou Yuling.
Thus, that intense feeling of regret was forcibly suppressed by him.
On the surface, he pretended to be completely unfazed:
"Alright. Since you have the [Carefree Dao Stone], movement should be quite convenient."
"Then let's take action directly. I can't wait to go bind the [Formless Leaf]!"
Zhou Yuling nodded, then holding the [Carefree Dao Stone], she flashed away toward the direction of the Formless Tree together with the light clone.
Left behind, Jiang Ye worked hard to calm his regret over missing a free kill, then began designing the experiments he wanted to conduct in his mind.
Right now, both the Little Red Snake and the White Snake were with him.
He also had a total of 6 tubes of [Blood Poison Corpse Water].
There were quite many experiments he could conduct.
Experiment 1: Have the Little Red Snake drain a clone's blood again;
Experiment 2: Have the White Snake drain a clone's blood;
Experiment 3: Attempt to generate clones within the blood mist transformed by the Little Red Snake;
Experiment 4: Select a clone to use [Blood Poison Corpse Water];
Experiment 5: Use [Blood Poison Corpse Water] on the Little Red Snake?
Experiment 6: Use [Blood Poison Corpse Water] on the White Snake?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind.
At times , he regretted that his knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology was limited to rote memorization and test-taking.
When it came to designing controlled variables and control groups for experiments, he wasn't very skilled.
No wonder Mendel is called the father of genetics.
The peas he planted required time to yield results.
Without that patience, one probably isn't cut out for experimentation.
Among Jiang Ye's experimental ideas, numbers 2 and 6 were immediately rejected.
After all, the White Snake didn't belong to him yet.
And it concerned the binding of the [Formless Leaf].
If it got mutated during the experiment, the consequences would be beyond Jiang Ye's ability to handle.
For him, the more acceptable losses were the [Blood Poison Corpse Water] and clones.
These two experimental materials were relatively abundant in quantity.
So, first create a clone and inject it with [Blood Poison Corpse Water] to test the waters?
Jiang · Scientist · Ye wrapped the Little Red Snake around like glasses, then pretentiously pushed up his red snake-brand glasses, feeling like he was the embodiment of wisdom…
In the underground graveyard of Apartment 4444.
Yang Wenchao watched as Jiang Ye played with the Little Red Snake a few times before urgently arranging for a clone to take the Little Red Snake away.
Throughout the process, he couldn't interject and was completely clueless about the situation.
He could only wait until Jiang Ye's tense spirit relaxed somewhat before curiously asking:
"Is that red snake some very special monster?"
"I feel its state when transforming into blood mist is almost identical to the blood mist transformed by your blackened clone?"
The blood mist transformed by Xiao Hei was a glyph pattern ability.
So much so that Jiang Ye hadn't paid special attention to it before.
Only when secretly infecting Chen Cang with his blood did he use Xiao Hei's blood mist as cover.
Jiang Ye pondered slightly in his heart.
Although he still didn't understand the situation within the [Court of Disorder]…
But if the Little Red Snake didn't bring back news…
Then most likely, Clone No. 1 would bring the Little Red Snake to participate in the court session.
Then, everything about the Court of Disorder could only be left to Clone No. 1.
His clones outside could only worry uselessly.
Therefore, Jiang Ye's arrangement for these external clones mainly focused on developing 4 branch lines aside from the main mission of rescuing his main body.
The two relatively important branch lines were exploring the Reincarnation Mirror Palace and the Abyss Restricted Zone.
The remaining two branch lines were exploring the black ice domain and bringing Lin Ling to re-explore the red-lit elevator in Apartment 9999.
Of course, there were also some relatively minor branch lines.
Such as killing administrators, the fake clone in the Return Soul Abyss's [Soul Resting Mound], Yang Wenchao's meeting with the mysterious big shot…
However, these minor branch lines didn't require much of his attention.
They could be left to develop slowly.
His focus still needed to be on the cycle grid and the Abyssal Depths.
After all, these two places, like the Court of Disorder, likely hid many secrets.
Because he already had plans for what he needed to do.
Jiang Ye didn't have much patience when facing Yang Wenchao.
He didn't explain about the Little Red Snake either, only briefly asking about Yang Wenchao's situation.
The information he obtained was—
Yang Wenchao and the mysterious big shot had already essentially met in the tombstone area.
However, this kind of "meeting" was only the big shot's voice transmitting into his mind.
Essentially, he didn't obtain any important information.
The mysterious big shot's voice prompted him to die once.
Afterward, the big shot would conduct a secret meeting with him in the reincarnation coffin.
Of course, Jiang Ye already knew the meeting result…
Yang Wenchao entered the reincarnation coffin.
Only to be dug out by Jiang Ye again…
Regarding this, Yang Wenchao even complained:
"I remember you gave me a lucky bracelet before…"
"Could it be that thing made me as unlucky as I am now?"
It was that lucky bracelet that made him kick the bucket directly.
Later, after reviving in the graveyard, nothing good happened either…
Dug out by Jiang Ye, accompanying Jiang Ye in experiments, resulting in him and Wan Xin having dual-soul fusion!
Later, he was even imprisoned by Lin Ling for a while.
Now finally about to embrace a golden thigh…
Only to be dug out by Jiang Ye again…
This is fucking ridiculous! Too unlucky!
That lucky bracelet is too absurd!!
Yang Wenchao now strongly suspected that the lucky bracelet was actually an unlucky bracelet, and Jiang Ye had intentionally tricked him!
However, Jiang Ye's acting skills had reached perfection.
Without any change in expression, he said with a straight face:
"This problem, you should blame Wan Xin."
"If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. Wan Xin said himself that he has an unlucky constitution with a misfortune god attached."
"Now that you have dual-soul fusion with him, this constitution naturally parasitized onto you too!"
Yang Wenchao thought: Do I look very easy to fool?
I was already quite unlucky before dual-soul fusion with Wan Xin!
Originally had hope to rise to become a first-class powerhouse!
This unlucky constitution directly made him a marginal nobody, without any strength…
However, circumstances were stronger than people.
He didn't dare question Jiang Ye further, only sighing:
"Hope that dying once more will allow a successful meeting…"
Jiang Ye also expressed blessings, incidentally sending him to die once more.
On the chessboard within the black ice domain.
Yu Mo, who was placed into the Square Mirror by the chubby guy, gradually completed the mutation process.
This guy's luck was really quite good.
Reportedly, the mutation had quite high mortality rate, yet he ultimately survived.
Who knows if the Square Mirror the chubby guy used assisted his mutation.
Anyway, after continuously emitting steam, then gradually merging with some steam…
Yu Mo's body initially became terrifyingly red all over, like an infrared thermal imaging picture!
Especially as it appeared within the Square Mirror, looking exactly like a flat infrared thermal imaging picture.
However, not long after, that bizarre heat-red color all over his body gradually faded into blood-colored patterns covering his entire body.
Looking quite similar to Xu Gou.
However, there were clear differences in the patterns' direction and details.
Jiang Ye at this moment didn't avoid the topic either, proactively asking:
"Are these pattern differences unique to each individual, or are there only two types of differences between Heavenly Net mutation methods and shadow phantom mutation methods?"
The chubby guy was quite patient with him, directly answering:
"The patterns should be determined by individual circumstances and mutation conditions."
"Anyway, all mutated people have different patterns."
"If you want to experiment, you could have two clones undergo mutation to see if identical clones ultimately generate the same patterns?"
