The Slaughter God who stirred up storms.

He said desperately, "That's why I told you from the beginning to stay inside the building. This mall is an in-and-out place."

For those on the second floor and above, there's still a chance to get out, but for those on the first floor, there's no such opportunity. So it's better not to have any expectations and just stay put; that way, life will be easier.

Wu Si had some bad intentions, but not entirely. He didn't want to see Ye Jiang and the other person who had helped him complete the toy task do anything foolish, so he asked a question out of curiosity.

"Honestly, what a mess! I heard the Pollution started shortly before I came in!" Wu Si muttered angrily. "If it weren't for this damn Pollution, I'd be up on the second floor by now, one step closer to home!"

He's so unlucky!

Although he had completed one toy task, as long as he stayed on one floor, he might encounter a second or even a third toy task. The tasks didn't end once one was completed; the scythe of death always hung over his head.

If he could, he would like to go upstairs; if he could, he would like to... go home.

Looking back on the days outside, although only ten days have passed, it feels like a lifetime has gone by.

The outside world is dilapidated, but with the Ability Control Bureau protecting us, it's better than being trapped in a cramped building.

Thinking of the Ability Control Bureau, Wu Si stole another glance at the man beside her. Was this person actually from the Ability Control Bureau...?

Yu Hai noticed him

Ignoring his gaze, he discussed the matter with Ye Jiang and finally decided to stick to the original plan and continue climbing the building. After all, wasn't the point of an exploration mission to venture into unusual places?

However, the plan needs to be adjusted slightly. Yu Hai wants to wait until he finishes his task on the first floor before going upstairs with Ye Jiang.

This is what Yu Hai thought.

But Ye Jiang didn't listen.

She didn't want to wait and wanted to go upstairs first.

Yu Hai was in a dilemma.

Although Yu Hai was from the General Bureau, he had heard of Ye Jiang's heroic feat of tearing apart S-Rank Polluted, and knew that this Healer was probably more adept at dealing with Polluted than with toys. However, one question remained: was the Pollution on the second floor from Polluted or a monster? If it was the latter...

Healer are, after all, human.

There is a power gap between humans and monsters.

Yu Hai licked his lips, deciding it still wouldn't work. The situation on the second floor was unclear, and he couldn't let Healer esteemed Healer go upstairs alone. He practically coaxed Healer into it. He hadn't known her long, but he'd already sensed her capriciousness. However, for Healer safety, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go. "Healer, we..."

Ye Jiang interrupted him, "I'm just going to take a look, and I'll come down if something seems wrong."

Knowing there was terrifying Pollution on the second floor, she was even more eager to go see it. If there were any strange monsters, she could ask one of her kind how to escape from its host's body. What if the other person was a wise and experienced individual? What if?

She said, "Wu Si only said that Pollution drove people away from going upstairs."

Not dead people, not a dead end.

"Yeah, I haven't heard of anyone dying, but we can't go up to the second floor anymore." Wu Si was a little taken aback when she suddenly heard her own name.

Yu Hai's expression softened slightly, but Ye Jiang's face remained expressionless, her eyes fixed on the elevator, her gaze conveying that if he continued to obstruct her, she would not discuss it with him and would simply leave.

Yu Hai: "..."

He looked up at the sky, where the circular buildings seemed to stack up in his eyes, brightly lit and exceptionally beautiful.

But each floor isn't very high; even he should be able to climb them easily.

Just as he was about to speak, a cool voice came from the side. "There's more than one fool who stubbornly tries to rush up, but they've all been stopped. There's a barrier, and it even causes the toys to move strangely."

Wu Si said he didn't want to say that he had also considered it.

He said, "Otherwise, why do you think everyone is obediently climbing the stairs?"

Yu Hai stopped himself from doing so. Since more than one person had verified it, he really didn't need to. He looked at Ye Jiang and sighed, "In that case, please be careful..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Jiang was already gone.

Yu Hai: "."

The Healer is really capricious.

Yu Hai watched the Healer enter the elevator, his heart pounding with worry like a concerned father. Wu Si also watched, her expression incredulous—he had been so blunt, why were these people still going to stubbornly persist? Were they just being obstinate?

Tsk, do these people really think that if they can control a B-Rank ability user like me, they can control the Pollution on the second floor?

You should know that there are A-Rank ability users in the building, such as Chen Hong. He often goes downstairs to share his experience in making toy tasks with the people below. But even Chen Hong is said to be afraid to go to the second floor!

Ye Jiang stood in the elevator waiting for the doors to close. Seeing the two people outside looking at her, and noticing Yu Hai's obvious worry, she had a sudden inspiration. With a blank expression, she nodded at Yu Hai as a gesture of reassurance, feeling a little smug afterward, thinking she had shown some humanity. Then, looking at the woman named Wu Si, she raised her cold, indifferent eyes and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

Mr. Wu immediately turned his head, decisively and without any hesitation.

He's dreaming!

He's not stubborn!

He was about to slip away when Yu Hai's chilling voice grabbed him. "Why are you running? You still haven't told me if you have any other information you're hiding from us?"

This thing is like a sponge; it just keeps coming out when you squeeze it.

Wu Haimian cried out in protest, "There's really none left! I really shook it all out! Not a single bit!"

With Wu's shouts, the elevator doors closed, and Ye Jiang could no longer see the two people.

Inside the elevator, Ye Jiang glanced at the elevator buttons next to the elevator door: 100.

This shopping mall does indeed have 100 floors.

But it doesn't matter.

bite.

With a soft click, the elevator arrived.

The elevator doors opened, and a strong stench of Pollution rushed out. Ye Jiang looked ahead and saw a thin "Noodle" wrapped around the carved railing of the second-floor corridor bridge. It was black and ethereal, seemingly existing between illusion and reality. Ye Jiang lowered her eyes and met the "Noodle's " gaze. Although the "Noodle" had no eyes, she could feel its gaze. Silence spread between them.

In the silence, a chaotic voice came from the "Noodle," without a mouth, but the sound was clear, "Big brother, a human has come to the second floor."

The voice echoed, and a few seconds later, another muffled voice came from somewhere on the second floor. "Has she passed out? If she's unconscious, just throw her out."

The "Noodle" moved slightly, Ye Jiang noticed that it was Noodle long, winding back and forth around the railing, its length unknown.

Ye Jiang stared at the creature in astonishment. She recognized it; it was clearly different from humans and superhumans, existing between reality and illusion, ethereal as smoke—this was the monster's true form. Dong Zhen and Shi Li had shown it to her before, but no matter how hard she studied it, she couldn't reveal its true form as smoothly as they had.

Yes, although she has fulfilled the host Tang Su's wish, she cannot completely detach herself from the human body, nor can she even partially display herself. She cannot.

It really is a monster.

They are of the same kind.

Ye Jiang thought to herself, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes as she looked at the "Noodle" before her; she hoped he was a wise man.

But it doesn't seem so.

Under Ye Jiang's gaze, the "Noodle" wriggled, as if complaining to someone inside the building behind it:

"Brother, no, I can't throw her away. She's very alert; she's watching me."

Chapter 113 The Slaughter God, the Slaughter God Who Stirs Up Turbulent Times.

The air rippled, and two wisps of something rushed towards them. Ye Jiang looked closely and saw that they were two monsters composed of ethereal, black smoke-like matter. One floated in mid-air, topped with an umbrella-shaped structure. Below the umbrella were floating tentacles, somewhat like Jellyfish in the deep sea, only more twisted and abstract. The other stood, with a humanoid body, its body covered with holes of varying sizes, and its head was completely pierced through. Those holes could move, and an indescribable terror emanated from them.

The Jellyfish and the Hole Man stared silently at Ye Jiang, as if fear and calamity themselves were staring at her.

"Human, you are not welcome here. Leave."

A chaotic voice emanated from the "Hole Man," echoing throughout the building with an unusually majestic air.

This is intimidation.

The monster was threatening her.

However, the person being threatened did not leave; instead, she stared straight at them.

These two monsters seem to have a bit of a wise air about them. The novice monster impolitely evaluates his monster seniors in his mind, thinking that compared to "Noodle," "Jellyfish" and "Hole Man" clearly have a more wise feel.

Are these two monsters the guiding lights she's searching for?

Ye Jiang slightly salvaged the expectation that had plummeted upon seeing the rather unintelligent "Noodle," a subtle glint flashing in her eyes. Ignoring the attempts to shoo her away, she raised her head and addressed the wise men she regarded. "Do you know a way to permanently detach from a human body?"

She's still as direct as ever. She's a direct person when she's human, and a direct monster when she's a monster.

Silence.

Thick, black Pollution swirled through the mall's floors, reaching the ceiling and flowing down to the floor. It was so thick it resembled a fluid, frantically Pollution everything on the second floor, as if it wanted to drag the lifeless decorations of that floor into its mad abyss.

Perhaps because they were monsters, Ye Jiang didn't sense any mental disturbances and adapted very well to this terrifying Pollution. She stared intently at the "wise men," her head slightly raised, waiting wholeheartedly for an answer, hoping that the wise men would point her in the right direction.

rustling sounds.

The "Noodle" wrapped around the covered bridge started to move, their slender bodies rubbing against the railings, making soft, rustling sounds.

"Noodle" lifted its thin body slightly, placing it in front of "Jellyfish" and "Hole Man," and asked, "Big brother, second brother, what is this human saying?"

The Jellyfish snapped out of its reverie at the sound, tilting its umbrella-shaped body towards the Hole Man beside it, and asked, "Brother, what is this human saying?"
