A typical salted fish? A master!

How come it's suddenly back to normal?

The people in the building who were secretly watching this scene were very puzzled.

They watched nervously, afraid of another disturbance, but nothing happened. The toys gradually dispersed, their departing figures appearing inexplicably lost and lonely.

"..."

It's just a toy.

call--

The two men let out a heavy sigh of relief; the terrifying encirclement had finally dissipated!

They didn't dare delay for a moment and quickly left to hide.

Ye Jiang glanced at the two humans who had left, then at the scattered toys, her expression calm.

"Healer!"

Yu Hai strode up to Ye Jiang Ye Jiang asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Something happened?

A hint of doubt appeared in Ye Jiang's eyes. Why did something happen to her?

She only found one room that perfectly suited her taste, and there was nothing dangerous about it. What could possibly happen in this building?

Seeing her reaction, Yu Hai guessed that she had had a smooth journey and breathed a sigh of relief. He calmed himself down, changed his expression, and seriously recounted the information he had obtained, from the fact that the door had been active for several years and had devoured tens of thousands of people, to the abundant energy in the shopping mall, and then to the toys in the building that were eating people.

When the toys in the building were mentioned, Yu Hai's expression changed slightly.

"Welcome to be a toy's toy."

The welcoming words the people in the building had said to him echoed in Yu Hai's mind.

A toy that becomes a toy?

Why are the people in the building saying that?

Yu Hai pondered, a man hurriedly emerged from a hidden corner, cautiously approaching the two men.

"Tsk, I must say, you newbies are really bold. Didn't you notice the toys had just suspiciously circled the elevator, and you were just standing here chatting like that?"

Ye Jiang was processing the information Yu Hai had given her while glancing at the pigeon toy on Yu Hai's shoulder. When she saw the man approaching, she looked at him. The man didn't look at her, but instead, while cautiously surveying their surroundings, he muttered to himself, "This is too abnormal, too abnormal. The toys in the building are always strange, but today they're especially weird..."

"Who are you?" Ye Jiang interrupted him.

The man stopped rambling and looked at her. Seeing this, Yu Hai interjected, "He's an old-timer in this building. He's been here for ten years. The information I'm telling you is what he gave me."

The man gave a sly smile and raised his chin, "I just couldn't stand how stupid the newbies were, so I couldn't help but offer a few pointers... If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'm not much else to boast about, but I've been here long enough and know a lot enough that people call me Know-It-All..."

"Are people who enter the door thrown to different floors?" Ye Jiang, oblivious to politeness, actually asked, interrupting the man's self-aggrandizing boast.

The man stared at her with displeasure for a moment, then finally replied, "That's right."

So that's how it is.

Yu Hai pressed on, "Why can't I see the elevator buttons?"

How can I go upstairs to find someone if I can't see the buttons?

He had already searched the first floor, but neither his exploration team nor the Logistics Team members were there.

Yu Hai waited for the man to answer his questions, unaware of the slight fluctuation that appeared in Ye Jiang's eyes.

Ye Jiang looked at the elevator behind her and could clearly see the up button on the elevator.

Yu Hai can't see the elevator buttons?

The man taught the two newlyweds a lesson. "Some people can see, and some people can't."

Yu Hai: "..."

Ye Jiang: "..."

Is that even possible?

Who can see and who cannot?

The man said impatiently, "Those who were thrown upstairs when we came in can see it, but those on the first floor can't!"

Ye Jiang and Yu Hai were both speechless. What kind of strange differential treatment was this?

The man looked at Yu Hai: "You want to go upstairs?"

Yu Hai didn't speak; he really wanted to go upstairs to find someone.

He pondered the possibility of following the Healer could see the elevator buttons upstairs, but the man seemed to read his mind and said in a strange tone, "Don't even think about it. People who can't see the elevator buttons can't follow people who can. Why don't you try it yourselves?"

The man changed the subject, "I know how to get upstairs."

Ye Jiang and Yu Hai both looked at him at the same time.

The man said smugly, "Come with me."

The man turned and walked away, insisting that the two newlyweds would follow him.

But there wasn't any.

Ye Jiang pressed the elevator button to go upstairs and went in first. Yu Hai followed closely behind, but was stopped by an invisible barrier.

The man noticed no movement behind him, turned around, and saw two people conducting an experiment.

man. "..."

"It really can't be," Ye Jiang and Yu Hai said nonchalantly, following the man as if they had never done an experiment.

man. "..."

His eye twitched.

Not wanting to bother with the two newcomers, he turned and walked in one direction.

The man weaved through the mall to avoid directly encountering the toys moving around, and then he came to a shop where a wind-up toy with coiled ram horns was counting. "860510, 860511, 860512..."

The man went straight into the shop and headed straight for the goat toys in the display case Ye Jiang tried to follow him in, but Yu Hai stopped her. The man noticed they hadn't come in and turned back to call out, "Come on in! The way upstairs is right here!"

Yu Hai stood outside the door without moving, while the toy goats in the shop counted themselves: 860522, 860523...

The shop lights flickered, and the man's face momentarily disappeared into the shadows, making his smile appear somewhat distorted. He smiled and asked softly, "Newcomers, why don't you come in?"

Ye Jiang looked at Yu Hai, Yu Hai was still blocking her way, his face full of wariness towards the man. She noticed that this man had been unusually vigilant towards the toys in the building, constantly avoiding direct contact with them. However, now he was walking directly in front of one of the toys. What was the reason for this?

Yu Hai refused to go in and also prevented Ye Jiang from entering. The man in the shop stared at them. He stopped greeting them, and after a long while, he showed a disappointed expression and sighed softly, "Aren't you coming in either?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the shop snapped off. In the instant darkness descended, Yu Hai immediately attacked, unleashing a barrage of fine, resilient silver needles at the man. The needles exploded upon landing, creating deep craters in the floor. The man narrowly dodged them, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. His expression darkened, and the lights in the shop suddenly blazed back on. Before Yu Hai could adjust, the attack was directed at... Ye Jiang beside him.

The moment they engaged, the man realized the difference in skill between himself and Yu Hai. He was a B-Rank ability user, capable of manipulating circuits and possessing decent fighting skills, but he seemed no match for Yu Hai. Therefore, he turned his attack on the woman being protected by Yu Hai! This woman was thin and frail, and being protected by Yu Hai, she was likely quite vulnerable!

A ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes. He turned off the lights again, lunged forward, and clawed at the woman's shoulder, trying to grab her away.

While doing this, he was also wary of Yu Hai and had thought of a countermeasure. However... however, after Yu Hai discovered his purpose, he did not intervene to protect him. The man who used the needle rain seemed to twitch his face. He inexplicably stopped and watched as he reached his claws towards the woman.

What's going on?

As the man was pondering, a pale, thin hand suddenly appeared in his field of vision. It was the woman's hand; she raised her hand and offered it to his claws that were attacking her.

Why was she letting him grab her? But the hand quickly darted away and grabbed his wrist!

The man was taken aback.

The next second, a tremendous force came from his hand, and he was thrown to the ground by the force.

Bang!!!

"860588, 860589..."

The toy goat was engrossed in counting its numbers, oblivious to the human disputes.

The man opened his eyes with a sharp pain. Two heads, a man and a woman, hung above him, looking down at him. The woman's face was expressionless. She asked the man, "Why did he attack us?"

The man said, "He has ulterior motives."

The woman exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked, "Should we kill him?"

The man said, "Keep him for now, I'll interrogate him."

The woman said, "Oh."

Ye Jiang had no interest in interrogating humans, so upon hearing this, she straightened up and walked to the side. Yu Hai glanced at her, and seeing that she didn't go to the goats, he looked away and returned his gaze to the man on the ground.

"I have something to ask you," he said coldly to the injured man. "Don't lie to us again, or else..."

He didn't say what came next, but it was full of threats.

Yu Hai never fully trusted this man.

In such a place, it's impossible to easily place your trust in a stranger.

The man on the ground had more than one broken bone. He lay there blankly, somewhat bewildered by his situation. Hearing Yu Hai's words, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Fine." He accepted his fate; he had lost, and he conceded defeat.

but--

"But can I ask first?" The man glanced in a certain direction at someone, his lips twitching. "That woman, what's her situation?"

How could her paper-thin frame possibly take down someone as strong as an ox?

Yu Hai: "."

Chapter 111 Standard Salted Fish? Master!

The man spilled everything he knew. The information he had previously given Yu Hai, acting like a helpful guide, was indeed partially false, but not much. The false part was that he was indeed an ordinary office worker before entering the house, but he hadn't come ten years ago, but ten days ago. The man's name was Wu Si, from T City. Ten days ago, he had worked overtime and taken a walk at night, which unfortunately led to him being dragged in.
