Yang Wenchao, Wan Xin, and Wang Lingling also found it rare to agree with Liu Re's opinion.

In their view, that Du Yuheng who could use [Mind Reading] was simply too great a threat!

Not only should they not go find Du Yuheng to clutch his thighs right now, but even after returning to the School later, they would have to find ways to guard against this person.

If only they could find a way to eliminate him...

Ahem.

Lin Jing, of course, also didn't want to have excessive contact with Du Yuheng and He Yuliang.

But the situations of these two were simply too special!

One possessed a "previous life," the other possessed "reincarnation dreams."

Lin Jing was very curious—in He Yuliang's "previous life," in Du Yuheng's "reincarnation dreams"...

Did the five existences who emerged from the Giant Pot also appear?

They probably did appear, right?

However, at least in He Yuliang's "previous life," they likely didn't appear in the form of these five youths.

After all, according to He Yuliang's account, in his "previous life," these five youths died in the auditorium explosion.

So, in He Yuliang's previous life, did the five of them occupy someone else's identity? Or did they have some other experience?

He Yuliang's [Luck] talent wasn't an investigative type.

So even though he possessed a "previous life," he probably hadn't grasped too many secrets.

But Du Yuheng was different.

An existence possessing an SSS-grade [Mind Reading] talent, who had also experienced so many reincarnation dreams!

In his 11th reincarnation dream...

Could he have already used [Mind Reading] methods on the five of them, uncovering the secrets on their bodies?

Furthermore, Lin Jing couldn't help but harbor some suspicion—

In the Glasses-wearing Youth's memories, when these five newbie youths entered the Forest of Oddities, they "got separated" from Du Yuheng and He Yuliang.

But was this "separation" merely a simple accident, or was it a deliberate action orchestrated by Du Yuheng?

In short, this Du Yuheng was too dangerous!

Even if they deliberately avoided him...

That guy might have already grasped their secrets!

Lin Jing even couldn't help but indulge in further conspiracy theories—

Could the information he obtained from the Glasses-wearing Youth's memories have been intentionally leaked by Du Yuheng?

Sigh...

Time travel is not easy, Lin Jing sighed.

He didn't share these worries with the other four.

Confirming everyone was in agreement and prepared to rely on themselves to clear the dungeon, he waved his hand and retrieved the shrunken mini Jade Flask.

Tossing the small jade flask into the air, it automatically hovered over a meter high, its Kettle Spout swinging left and right like a compass needle.

After swinging for a few seconds, it settled on a direction, and the small jade flask began floating in that direction.

Lin Jing then beckoned to the four, saying, "Follow."

The four naturally obediently followed, with Wan Xin unable to hold back his surprise and curiosity, asking, "This small jade flask... will it take us to a specific dungeon?"

Lin Jing shook his head, "Not certain. But according to the senior from the Burial Ground, the dungeons it guides us to should be more conducive to our rapid growth."

Hearing this, a flash of delight passed through Liu Re's eyes.

In contrast, Wang Lingling and Yang Wenchao looked at the automatically flying small jade flask, their eyes flickering with doubt and suspicion.

However, neither of them said much more.

The group of five followed the Jade Flask's guidance, eventually stopping before a thick, sturdy "black hair."

The Forest of Oddities was filled with these vertical, thick black hairs, forming a dense black forest.

Each giant black hair led to a dungeon space.

Players only needed to drip blood onto the hair root to enter the dungeon space.

These five also had no other means to judge dungeon spaces, so they accepted the small Jade Flask's guidance and each dripped a drop of blood onto the hair root indicated by the Kettle Spout.

As the blood was absorbed by the hair root, a bloody teleportation array automatically formed on the ground resembling a giant scalp, centered around that hair root.

The five located within the teleportation range soon vanished from before the hair root.

On the other side...

The clone whose identity was displayed as "Cheng Lin," Jiang Ye, also had quite a bizarre experience.

This clone named "Cheng Lin" was sent by Jiang Ye to monitor those cross-region seniors operating the Array Disks.

And this clone initially followed the clone of Li Zhi, who possessed the [Vow] talent, fighting monsters and leveling up in Apartment 9999.

During those monster-fighting leveling processes, the monsters this clone killed were all monsters.

And from beginning to end, he had never killed a person.

Therefore, his initial execution time in the initial Prison was a full three hundred plus days!

Because time was ample, this clone wasn't in a hurry to use empty prison cells to trigger events to obtain the "Probation" effect.

Instead, following the instructions from "comrades" in the chat group at the time, he chose to study those mechanical eyeballs patrolling the prison corridor.

So this clone, from the very start, followed the mechanical eyeballs, walking continuously in one direction along the corridor.

He kept walking and walking, for nearly four hours straight!

Along the way, he encountered who knows how many empty prison cells, but he resisted the urge to explore them.

Instead, he was incredibly determined to figure out the patrol routes of those mechanical eyeballs!

Thus, after a full four hours of persistence...

He seemed to have reached the end of the prison corridor!

And the end of the prison corridor was somewhat similar to the end of an apartment corridor.

In the Novice Apartment, there was a spatial passage at the end of each floor's corridor.

And the end of the prison corridor was also a spatial passage!

Jiang Ye, in the identity of "Cheng Lin," personally watched those patrolling mechanical eyeballs directly vanish into that spatial passage.

At that time, Jiang Ye was actually somewhat hesitant—

Should he continue tracking the mechanical eyeballs, rashly charging into a spatial passage filled with unknowns?

Or should he turn back directly, walk another four hours, or even spend more time, to explore what was at the other end of the prison?

He even considered that perhaps by walking from one end to the other, thoroughly traversing the entire prison corridor, he might discover something similar to the red-lit elevator?

If these different players were actually on different prison floors...

Then after finding something like the red-lit elevator, he might be able to go to other floors, encounter other players, or even other clones?

However, these were all just Concepts.

The actual Jiang Ye, having experienced four hours of tracking, really didn't want to continue wasting time walking the corridor.

Mainly, what if the end of the corridor had nothing, or was simply the same spatial passage...

Wouldn't he just be wasting time for nothing?

So in the end, Jiang Ye simply mustered his courage and charged into that spatial passage.

The facts proved that he was indeed outrageously bold, and he soon paid the price for his boldness!

Almost the instant he stepped into the spatial passage and was teleported to a brand new space...

He didn't even have time to see what the new space looked like.

His entire person seemed to be locked onto by something, exploding on the spot, turning into a mist of blood!

However, what was rather miraculous was...

At that time, having turned into a blood mist, he actually, like the "Blood Person clone" within the Blood Pool, still retained his self-awareness!

Even more, he actually managed to see some scenes after his "death" through the blood mist's perspective!

He saw that after his physical body exploded into blood mist, the Prison watch he was wearing fell to the ground.

But soon, two mechanical eyeballs, in a strange posture, jointly put on the mechanical watch he had dropped!

Then, something miraculous happened—

Jiang Ye, from the blood mist perspective, was actually sucked toward the Prison watch as if drawn in!

Immediately after, the Prison watch absorbed the blood mist and actually generated a new physical body for him!

And his entire person was directly "resurrected"!

However, the "resurrected" body was a purely mechanical version.

And the pair of eyeballs within the mechanical body were exactly those patrolling mechanical eyeballs!

Jiang Ye, resurrected like this, looked just like a robot!

Just as he thought that after resurrection, he could only appear in this mechanical form...

With a mere thought, the entire mechanical body actually automatically transformed into the original "Cheng Lin" appearance!

Looking like this, Jiang Ye seemed to have been completely resurrected...

But he was very clear that the resurrected him was different from the previous him!

The physical body was different, the eyes were different!

Very likely...

Even his identity was different?

At that time, Jiang Ye's heart gave rise to many doubts.

But before he could even think, he received a system instruction in his vision: "Proceed to the Heaven Earth Sun Moon River to assemble."

Accompanied by the system instruction, he quickly discovered—

Having obtained the mechanical eyeballs, he seemed to have gained quite a few permissions!

After quickly understanding the permissions of the mechanical eyeballs, he directly gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of the entire "Doomsday Prison" era's structure!

First, the entire "Doomsday Prison" era world was divided into the "Land of Exile" and the "Heaven Earth Realm."

The entire "Land of Exile" was submerged in mist, not covered by the sun and moon, and was primarily the activity area for "sinners."

Conversely, the "Heaven Earth Realm" was illuminated by the sun and moon, thus it was a "pure land" without mist.

The "Heaven Earth Realm" was dotted with normal cities, inhabited by normal humans.

"Sinners" viewed those normal city humans as "Superior People."

Because "Superior People," using [Mechanical Eyeballs] and [Prison watches], could directly dictate the fate of "sinners"!

All sinners must wear Prison watches.

And the benefit of the Prison watch was that it allowed the player wearing it to survive within the mist.

And Mechanical Eyeballs could directly execute players wearing Prison watches.

This execution was essentially equivalent to Erasure!

All Superior People wore Mechanical Eyeballs.

Therefore, Superior People wearing Mechanical Eyeballs were practically like gods to sinners wearing Prison watches!

However, what sinners didn't know was...

The very [Mechanical Eyeballs] and [Prison watches] that directly divided the people of this world into two categories...

Were actually produced by the sun and moon of the "Heaven Earth Realm"!

[Mechanical Eyeballs] were produced by the sun;

[Prison watches] were produced by the moon.

The Superior People and sinners respectively wearing [Mechanical Eyeballs] and [Prison watches]...

Were essentially representing the sun and moon respectively.

So from this perspective, Superior People could also be called "Sun People," while sinners could be called "Moon People."

Additionally, Superior People also created a special type of existence, calling them "Sun Moon People."

As the name suggests, "Sun Moon People" could simultaneously represent the sun and moon.

That is to say... "Sun Moon People" simultaneously wore both [Mechanical Eyeballs] and [Prison watches].

Correct!

The robot Jiang Ye became after "resurrection"...

Was essentially a "Sun Moon Person"!

Sun Moon People used mechanical bodies to wear Prison watches, carrying Mechanical Eyeballs.

They could perfectly disguise themselves as sinners (Moon People) while in the identity of Enforcers (Sun People).

But no matter how perfect the disguise as Moon People...

In essence, Sun Moon People had no thoughts, no soul!

They would only act according to the instructions generated by the [Mechanical Eyeballs].

Like automated puppets controlled by AI!

So...

This Jiang Ye clone "Cheng Lin" should have truly died after stepping into that spatial passage!

Then an automated Sun Moon Person would take over this identity.

For any other Moon Person player, they should have truly died, then been replaced by a Sun Moon Person assuming their identity.

However, in Jiang Ye's case, an anomaly occurred!

Logically, he should have died directly too.

But by coincidence, his consciousness actually occupied the soulless body of the Sun Moon Person!

But by chance, his consciousness actually occupied the soulless body of the Sun Moon Person!

Thus, he became a Sun Moon Person who possessed his own thoughts, truly alive!

This anomalous situation was indeed a bit outrageous within the "Sun Moon People" cognition.

But from Jiang Ye's perspective, he could discern a familiar flavor from this anomaly!

This was simply a familiar recipe!

His clone kills clone, then clone seizes the body of clone, wasn't that exactly this same set?!

This resurrected Sun Moon Person was essentially impersonating "Cheng Lin," wasn't it?

And this "Cheng Lin" was Jiang Ye's clone!

Then wasn't this Sun Moon Person impersonating Jiang Ye?

Impersonating Jiang Ye, becoming Jiang Ye...

Wasn't this the familiar flavor, the familiar recipe?!

So...

Even though Jiang Ye's individual clone's Data Panel no longer displayed clone abilities.

And even temporarily, there was no situation of clones sharing consciousness with clones.

But some previously possessed clone rules were still in effect in this era!

So...

Couldn't Jiang Ye utilize the clone rules to manufacture large numbers of Sun Moon People?

Of course, the prerequisite was that he could find a large number of his clones who had time-traveled to this era.

Or could find a method to generate new clones in this era.

But even just having this one Sun Moon Person identity could make his actions more convenient.

And to avoid being discovered that this Sun Moon Person had gained a soul...

Jiang Ye didn't dare delay and immediately took action.

That is, he headed in the direction of the "Heaven Earth Sun Moon River" according to the system instruction just provided by the Mechanical Eyeballs.

Speaking of which, this "Heaven Earth Sun Moon River" mentioned in the instruction was also a rather special place.

In essence, it was the dividing line between the "Land of Exile" and the "Heaven Earth Realm."

That is to say, the entire Heaven Earth Sun Moon River had one half belonging to the Land of Exile, shrouded in mist;

The other half was illuminated by the sun and moon, belonging to the Heaven Earth Realm.

It was also a long river that "Moon People" from the Land of Exile must pass through when going to the Heaven Earth Realm.

For the sake of convenient and intuitive understanding, subsequent text will use unified terms for the three types of people mentioned earlier—

Sinners will be called: Moon People;(wear Prison watches)

Superior People will be called: Sun People;(wear Mechanical Eyeballs)

Robots will be called: Sun Moon People. (simultaneously wear Prison watches and Mechanical Eyeballs)
