One anomaly triggered another

The sensation flowing through his body was incredibly mysterious, as light as walking on cotton candy-like clouds. This feeling seemed familiar; where had he experienced it before?

Suddenly, his breath caught in his throat as he recalled something!

It's a training ground!

The feeling was like when he was a student and was chosen to enter the trial grounds. The Blood Moon in the Sky slowly appeared, and he was bathed in its light. His body was enveloped by a kind of energy that he could clearly feel, which felt very comfortable.

This shopping mall exudes Origin Energy like Blood Moon!

Yu Hai's eyes reddened with excitement. The Ability Control Bureau ' prediction was correct; the high gate truly was linked to a world of miracles! It was the miracle they had hoped for and longed for!

Moreover, the energy concentration is extremely high! Even higher than the energy in the Blood Moon Trial Grounds!

This may be because although the shopping mall is large, it cannot compare to the world. The energy is concentrated in this one shopping mall, making it exceptionally dense. No wonder the logistics personnel who could not awaken outside were able to awaken here!

Yu Hai couldn't help but tear up. A miracle, it really was a miracle!

but--

Is there only miracle here, and no danger?

Yu Hai restrained himself and became much calmer.

What lies behind the door is not a bizarre world, but an ordinary shopping mall, which actually makes it even more eerie. Both the Moon Tree and the Blood Moon are highly mutated beings, making the shopping mall, which is also filled with Origin Power, seem too special and a bit strange.

Yu Hai tried to contact someone outside with his phone, but there was no signal. He had expected this, so he wasn't disappointed. He put his phone away and cautiously started looking for someone.

In any case, I need to find a colleague and Healer first.

Yu Hai was positioned in the mall's atrium on the first floor. The elevator was nearby. He walked over, intending to use the elevator buttons to check the specific floors and determine the mall's size. However, as he got closer, he noticed something—

The elevator has no elevator buttons.

Yu Hai was startled. He circled the elevator, but it wasn't there!

So what's the purpose of this elevator?

Yu Hai subconsciously looked up, his eyes flashing with changing emotions.

After a moment's thought, he temporarily abandoned his investigation of the elevator and turned to search on the first floor.

Along the way, he passed by various wind-up toys. He noticed that the shops on the first floor had no merchandise on display, only various wind-up toys.

Toys, toys, toys everywhere, only toys!

At the corner ahead, a wind-up toy lay on the ground. It was a pigeon-shaped toy, and one of its wings was outstretched, pointing towards Yu Hai, as if waiting for him to pull it up.

I've fallen down, kind person, please help me up.

A voice flashed through his mind. Yu Hai, who had always been vigilant and never touched anything in the mall, walked straight to the pigeon toy and reached out to grab the pigeon's wing.

The cold touch jolted Yu Hai awake, and he suddenly realized what he was doing, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.

He jerked his hand away, but the pigeon's wings seemed glued to his hand. With a slight movement, the toy pigeon was pulled up and bumped into him.

Snap—The pigeon completely broke on him.

"Oh no, I'm broken. You're responsible."

A voice rang out in front of Yu Hai, mechanical and without any intonation, seemingly coming from the beak of the pigeon perched on him. This time, Yu Hai heard it Qingqing.

Yu Hai froze, feeling a sense of familiarity with the situation, as if...

It resembles the kind of staged accident scam that people attempt to extort money from.

"Tsk."

A gasp rang out in the mall. Yu Hai looked up warily and saw a man peeking his head out of a shop across the street. There was actually someone hiding inside this seemingly empty mall!

It at least looks like a person, not a toy.

"Haven't seen a fool who gets fooled by toys in a long time, newbie?" The man in the shop rolled his eyes at Yu Hai, muttering to himself, "No wonder the toys in the mall are so unusual today, turns out a newbie has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of clicking sounds rang out from all directions. Yu Hai was startled. In his eyes, the decorative wind-up toys all started to move. They moved, the springs were wound up, and they had a stiffness that was unique to this type of toy.

The toys ignored Yu Hai and strolled around like shoppers in a mall.

"!!!"

Yu Hai's heart was pounding. Just then, the toy pigeon dangling on him suddenly moved. It shrank several times in size, becoming the size of a palm, and jumped onto Yu Hai's shoulder, where it stood still.

Yu Hai instinctively wanted to attack the pigeon, but the man in the shop yawned and stopped him in a sleepy voice, saying, "I advise you not to. Toys that are used for staged accidents will only stick to you for a few days and then leave on their own. But if you hurt the toy, it'll be a different story."

The man let out a strange laugh.

Yu Hai abruptly stopped, glancing at the man and then at the toy pigeon on his shoulder, his expression uncertain. "May I ask who you are...?"

Yu Hai had a list of logistics personnel who had been swallowed by the door a few days ago and had not been expelled, and this man who looked like a human was obviously not on his list.

The man rubbed his eyes as he walked out of the shop. He appeared casual, but in reality, he had been keeping a close eye on the moving wind-up toys, his eyes showing a vigilance no less than Yu Hai's. Yu Hai observed his behavior and thought to himself that there was definitely something wrong with these wind-up toys. He calmly gathered information, and his gaze swept across the room, catching sight of the Blood Moon symbol on the man's hand. He was also a superhuman.

"I won't mention your name, I guess you don't really care about that," the man said as he walked away. "As for my identity... ten years ago I was an ordinary office worker, and now, like you, I'm just an unlucky guy stuck here."

Yu Hai's eyes flashed. What did those words mean?

The man noticed his expression and smirked, "Yes, just like you guessed. There's a door that swallows people everywhere, from over twenty years ago until now. And it's notoriously 'greedy,' only taking in and never letting out. There are at least ten thousand people in this mall right now."

Yu Hai looked up. Ten thousand people?!

But I've never heard of a door appearing in the world before!

At this time, Yu Hai did not know that the door had indeed only appeared in City A a week ago, but in fact it had been active for more than 20 years. It did not show itself, but lurked around the world, swallowing wave after wave of people. The people who were swallowed did not see the door, but the door appeared in their consciousness when they entered the mall.

Similarly, the man was unaware that Yu Hai and his group had indeed seen the door clearly.

Seeing Yu Hai's shock, the man glanced at him and said, "Brother, since you're already here, just stay put. There are no Polluted in this mall, and it's full of energy. Here, even without training, your superpowers will increase rapidly, several times faster than outside. Even ordinary people who aren't superpowered will likely awaken into superpowered individuals if they stay here long enough. Here, you..."

It can survive without food or water, relying solely on energy reserves.

The man shrugged. "There's just one thing, once you're in here, you can't get out, and also..."

A flicker of fear crossed the eyes of the man who had maintained a perfectly relaxed demeanor. Looking at the wind-up toys roaming around, he said, "These toys can suddenly start eating people."

"If you unfortunately run into them, remember not to fight, just run. Fighting is useless." The man said expressionlessly, "Any toy here is more powerful than A-Rank ability user."

He added, "Although it's very difficult to outrun them."

The man wiped his face, revealing a trace of weariness. "Because the toys here can run faster than even A-Rank speed-type ability user."

Yu Hai: "..."

Doesn't this mean that once you encounter someone, you're destined to be eaten?

Is it really about "eating"?

As Yu Hai was deep in thought, several people emerged from various hidden corners. Upon seeing Yu Hai, they paused, recognized his newcomer status, and gave him strange smiles. "A newcomer?"

"Welcome to be a toy's toy."

Yu Hai: "?"

become...

Toys of toys?

Chapter 109: The first strange phenomenon triggered another strange phenomenon.

Ye Jiang found herself in a peculiar room. The room was very large, about the size of a football field, with a square layout, and it was completely empty.

But the unusual thing was not its size, but the floor. The floor beneath her feet was like a cloud, a soft, white cloud like cotton candy, covering the entire room, as if an entire Sky had been cut off and used as the floor of this room.

The clouds were still, but when Ye Jiang moved, they gently moved and came to her feet.

There was a window in the room, Ye Jiang walked to the window. When she looked up, she saw the southern part of City A at night through the window.

That was a real night view of the southern part of the city, exactly as Ye Jiang remembered it, as if this room was a room in a high-rise building in the southern part of City A.

Ye Jiang lowered her head. She saw the familiar cordon and the leaders of the Ability Control Bureau who had not left outside the cordon. She could even see the worry and anxiety on their faces.

Therefore, a very obvious conclusion can be drawn: the door that Ye Jiang passed through a few minutes ago actually shares the same time and space inside and outside the door.

However, it was as if a one-way barrier stood between the inside and outside of the door, so that one could only see out from inside the door, but one could not see in from outside.

With a thought, Ye Jiang suddenly saw a soft chair made of white clouds behind her. She turned around, her eyes sparkling, and sat down on the cloud chair.

A feeling of pleasure welled up inside her. Her expression remained unchanged, but she gently wiggled her foot.

There was a very strange coincidence. She really liked this room. She liked the view from above, the feeling of being suspended in the air, and the spaciousness. She had imagined that if she asked Dong Zhen to decorate her house, she would want it decorated like this.
