The self-destructing lucky toy: She touched me, she touched me!...

"Naughty."

"..."

"..."

The crowd fell silent.

Hmm, how should I put it?

Something seems off.

Ye Jiang and Rong Yin looked at Chen Hong, a thoughtful expression on their faces.

bite.

The elevator connecting to the covered walkway opened, and three human children appeared inside.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Accompanied by maniacal laughter, the three monster brothers appeared, "Finally, an interesting quest! We'll take on this quest...!"

The maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, and the three brothers stared ahead—

Were they mistaken? Why did they feel like they were seeing Slaughter God? The mission target locked by the toy seemed to be...

The young man turned his head and calmly met the gaze of the three monstrous brothers in the elevator.

"!!!"

Wow, he really is Slaughter God!

The three monster brothers frantically pressed the elevator close button. A split second before the doors closed, they saw a blinding laser beam shoot towards the Slaughter God. Someone shouted, "Watch out!" A black hole appeared out of nowhere, and the deadly laser beam struck it without a sound, disappearing into the black hole.

Even they dared not provoke this Slaughter God; what foolish human would dare to ambush him?

A slender figure flashed into the crowd—it was the monster who had asked them to find someone. She lifted a skinny, monkey-like human man like a chick. The man was alert enough to retaliate in a panic, but just as he raised his hand, his supernatural power still gathering at his fingertips, the wind-up toys in the building suddenly changed direction in unison. Anger gathered on the toys' faces, and streaks of blood appeared on the task boxes above their heads.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

The toys' task remained the same, but their objective had changed. Bloodstains appeared all over the skinny monkey man's body, densely packed, like target markers.

The same task, upon comparison, revealed that the previous task seemed merely bluffing, while this one was for real.

The elevator doors closed, and the monsters disappeared.

Chapter 118 Self-Destructing Lucky Toy: She Touched Me, She Touched Me!...

Let's rewind a few seconds.

"Careful!!"

Ye Jiang was looking at the three monstrous brothers in the elevator when a blinding light blazed in her vision. Someone shouted in alarm, and she turned her head at the sound. The beam of light had already arrived, striking the young man in front of her.

Danger was imminent, yet her heart beat normally, as if she were certain that the young man would not be hit by the laser. Sure enough, the next second, the familiar black hole appeared out of thin air, silently swallowing the murderous laser.

Don't worry about the young man. She slipped into the crowd and grabbed a skinny man. She realized that the laser beam came from this man.

The human in his hand had a gaunt, thin face, and a pair of triangular eyes that were sunken deep beneath his brow bone, gleaming with calculating light.

Zhang Fan hadn't expected his sneak attack to fail. He had clearly chosen the best position to attack, and the target was distracted by the noise from the elevator, seemingly completely oblivious. No wonder he was such a clueless newbie, chatting idly with people without any sense of propriety!

However, his attack failed.

That black

The cave effortlessly swallowed his full-force attack without even a sound. What kind of supernatural ability was this?

And this woman in front of me, when did she get here?!

His collar was being grabbed, and Zhang Fan looked confused. Wait, had he been captured? Had a high-ranking superhuman been so easily captured?

The sharp glint in his eyes was replaced by confusion, but in the blink of an eye, alertness returned, and he raised his hand to retaliate, with a hint of ruthlessness!

The tips of his raised fingers glowed faintly, his supernatural power poised to be unleashed.

Swish!

Suddenly, all the wind-up toys in the building changed direction and turned towards this side, their faces contorted with rage, and streaks of blood appeared on their task icons.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

Countless crimson markers appeared on his body!

The terrifying situation unfolded in the blink of an eye. Zhang Fan was startled, and the supernatural power that had been gathered at his fingertips was extinguished in fright. He looked up, his face full of panic.

What's going on?! Why is the toy suddenly pointing at him?!

The toys were furious, enraged, as if their most sensitive spot had been touched.

Zhang Fan:!!!

He forgot to retaliate.

The plan changed, and he couldn't stay here any longer! He hadn't been in the building for long, but he already knew from various sources how terrifying the toys inside were. Being targeted by all the toys—he wasn't some naive young man; he knew all too well how frightening that was!

Moreover, he could become a target for the people in the building, used as a stepping stone to the exit, just like the toy missions pointing to the abacuses they had made in their youth.

So, we have to go.

He was about to break free and escape when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the woman grabbing him by the back of his collar. He stared straight at her.

Ye Jiang was unaware that the man in her hand had turned his gaze to her; she was looking at the wind-up toys.

She had just noticed the triangular-eyed man was about to attack her. She glanced at him indifferently and was about to break his finger, which was imbued with supernatural power, when an unexpected situation arose. The toys suddenly became enraged and turned their attacks on the triangular-eyed man.

Ye Jiang didn't know what made the toys angry, but this time she clearly sensed that these toys possessed the emotion of anger.

Like vibrant, living organisms.

A glint flashed in Ye Jiang's eyes. At that moment, her hand felt lighter. The skinny man had broken free from her grasp while she wasn't paying attention. The skinny man, covered in markings, raised his hand and clenched it into a fist as soon as he broke free. A layer of blue light suddenly appeared, enveloping the man's fist in a cluster. Ye Jiang only raised her eyes slightly before the fist came hurtling towards her.

That was a desperate, all-or-nothing punch, its power evident, creating a fierce gust of wind!

However, it was facing Ye Jiang, Ye Jiang expression was calm. She simply dodged slightly, and her fist missed its mark.

A beam of blue light, like a curved blade, grazed Ye Jiang's face and landed in the air behind her, causing a momentary ripple. Just as Ye Jiang thought the attack had failed and awaited the next strike, the man gave her a malicious smile, turned, and ran. Ye Jiang was about to grab him when she heard a sound, and the nearest wind-up toy suddenly vibrated abnormally, enveloped in a faint blue light, and charged towards her!

The man's punch wasn't aimed at Ye Jiang, but at the surrounding toys! The punch wasn't a direct attack, but rather a form of control!

Ye Jiang paused in her pursuit of the man, glancing at the controlled toy. At the same time, the controlled toy arrived in the blink of an eye, throwing a fierce punch at Ye Jiang. Ye Jiang reflexively blocked it, and bang—the toy's thick arm exploded, sending fragments flying in all directions.

Silence.

After running some distance, Zhang Fan looked back and his smile froze on his lips.

As a high-ranking A-Rank ability user, escaping from an unknown, suspected speed-type ability user would be a piece of cake. But he wasn't willing to just leave like that and wanted to teach her a lesson, since she was so ignorant as to grab his collar.

So he struck and controlled a wind-up toy. His ability could control any living or inanimate object within ten meters, but only for five seconds.

Because the toy was stronger than him, he estimated that he could probably control it for two or three seconds.

That's enough.

With the power of the toys in the building, they could obliterate any superhuman in two seconds. I've heard toys can eat people; I wonder if this woman will be...

Zhang Fan thought maliciously, and without daring to linger, he turned and ran. Hearing the sounds of fighting, he turned back, thinking he would witness a satisfying scene, but...

"Hiss."

Hiss.

Gasps rose and fell from the crowd. What had they seen? Someone... had smashed the toy's body?

Is this... is this really happening?

Everyone knows that the toys in the building are faster, stronger, and more defensive than the top-tier superhumans. Their seemingly plastic bodies are ridiculously hard!

This was the first time they had ever seen a wind-up toy destroyed.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the woman who had set this record. She stood there, head bowed, looking at her hands.

What is she looking at?

Are they also surprised by their own strength?

Doesn't she realize the terrifying power she possesses?

Click.

A soft sound broke the silence. The sound was all too familiar, and the people in the building reflexively tensed up.

That's the sound of a toy's clockwork mechanism turning.

Click click.

Click click click.

The toys all started spinning their springs at high speed, creating echoes throughout the building, making the whole building rumble.

The wind-up toys have acted strangely again.

"... Run!"

Someone whispered a reminder to Ye Jiang, suggesting that this unusual movement was likely caused by Ye Jiang destroying the toy. However, she didn't move; she remained looking down at her hands. At that moment, a blood-red toy task box shattered from the top of the toy's head, followed by a second and a third. Soon after, all the task boxes disappeared.

On the other side, Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief; all the markings on his body had disappeared.

Although the fact that the woman had defeated the toy in their fight gave him a moment of heartache, and he couldn't understand why it had turned out this way, things took an unexpected turn. The toys stopped targeting him and began to move again; this time, their target was likely that woman...

Bang!

A kick, accompanied by the whoosh of the wind, struck Zhang Fan in the face, sending him flying without him even having a chance to react!

A toy.

The toy, which looks hard and rigid, becomes fluid and flexible when it attacks!

Zhang Fan, still showing surprise as he flew out, flew precisely towards another toy, only to be kicked in the head by that toy. Bang! He flew out again, this time to the next toy, only to be kicked away by that toy once more.
