The eerie pushpin, of course, came from Qu Xing’s Glyph Pattern Ability.

The pushpin was small, dark in color, and hard to notice in a dim environment.

was partly to probe the attitude of the new 4444 Administrator,

to see if there was any chance of getting into the Underground Graveyard again.

Unfortunately, this new Administrator of Apartment 4444 clearly wasn’t easy to deal with.

He wouldn’t even grant them passage to Apartment 0000.

So afterward, they didn’t dare bring up the idea of entering the Underground Graveyard again.

Zhou Qiming remained missing in action.

They had no idea what his situation really was.

But this Ge Ge… actually seemed like he’d received special orders from Zhou Qiming.

In fact, Ouyang couldn’t help but suspect—

Could this Ge Ge actually be Zhou Qiming in disguise?

Maybe, after his resurrection, to avoid being killed by Jiang Ye again,

he borrowed his follower’s identity to hide himself?

Dozens of possibilities flashed through Ouyang’s mind,

but strangely enough, not one of them was that Ge Ge was Jiang Ye in disguise...

Jiang Ye could pretty much guess the kind of mental gymnastics Ouyang was doing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

So he just acted even more calm and mysterious.

And to Ouyang’s question, he didn’t give any answer at all.

Instead, he shot Ouyang a cold warning glance and said flatly:

“None of your business. Mind your own mouth.”

Ouyang immediately fell silent and turned toward the Administrator Office on the 1st Floor of Apartment 9999.

Jiang Ye, still disguised as “Jiang Ye,” followed close behind.

And at that moment, in the Lobby on the 1st Floor,

the atmosphere inside the Administrator Office was even tenser than they had expected.

The moment they stepped into the lobby, they saw from a distance—

a woman who looked under forty, dressed in a black athletic outfit,

tapping the counter forcefully and glaring aggressively at the 9999 Administrator.

From this angle, Ouyang could only see the woman’s back.

But he had a full view of the 9999 Administrator’s face…

It was Jiang Ye!

Jiang Ye had really become the Administrator of Apartment 9999!!

Even though he had already suspected it, actually seeing it hit Ouyang like a sledgehammer.

This guy actually solo-killed the 9999 Administrator?!

How the h*ll did he pull that off?!

Could it be that he used some Rookie King privileges after leveling up?

Or did he get help from the veteran players who arrived after midnight?

But those veterans couldn’t even leave Apartment 0000 the next day!

Besides, judging from the Apartment 9999 Group Chat,

Jiang Ye must’ve become the Administrator before midnight on Day Two!

So…

He really killed the Administrator on Day One…

And not just any administrator—the strongest one: the 9999 Administrator!

This…

Ouyang took in a sharp breath, holding it for so long his heart practically went numb from shock!

But then another thought hit him—

Since Jiang Ye had gone from Rookie King to Administrator,

that Rookie King privilege must’ve turned into a Privilege Item, right?

Ouyang’s breath quickened again,

his mind spinning with possibility after possibility.

But just then, he noticed something that stunned him even more—

The once godlike, seemingly out-of-reach Jiang Ye…

Was actually looking like the weaker side in front of that aggressive woman?!

While Ouyang was still frozen in surprise,

the woman seemed to sense his presence and turned to glance at him.

The moment she turned her head, Jiang Ye’s new Ge Ge Replica

hastily removed the “Jiang Ye” disguise and reverted to Ge Ge’s face.

Even so, when the woman’s gaze swept over them, both of them instantly went rigid,

not even daring to breathe.

They looked like they might get killed just by her glare.

Ge Ge Replica’s behavior mirrored Ouyang’s—pure fear and confusion about the woman’s identity.

But Jiang Ye actually knew—

This woman had captured a veteran Light-type Player alive!

And she was very likely a Defender!

She had come to the 9999 Administrator to request a Resident Registry.

Clearly, she wanted to investigate the identities of the Eerie Beings who died in Apartment 9999.

If among those dead Eerie Beings was someone she had been waiting for…

Then it was over.

For the Light-type Replica, what awaited was a thousand cuts and slow death!

The only question was—

Would Light have any chance of escaping before being shredded to pieces?
