A slacker creator? The Creator!

A smile returned to the corners of her mouth, rising higher and higher until it blossomed brilliantly.

Just as I expected.

Ye Jiang stood still, not because she hadn't reacted, but because she had seen the trajectory of the flying fragments.

Silver shards grazed her hair and flew into the wall behind her.

Chapter 125 A Creator's Salted Fish? The Creator!

17th floor of the shopping mall.

Is it him?

"It seems so."

"Yes, I think so."

Humans are so ugly and hard to recognize.

"Agreed, agreed."

The three monster brothers cornered a human man in a shop, forming a circle around him and whispering amongst themselves. The three monsters had the bodies of children, appearing innocent and cute, but in their hands they held a thin rope with six unconscious humans tied to it, strung together and dragging it along.

The three brothers huddled together, chirping softly, blocking the shop entrance. They exchanged a few words, glanced at the people inside, and discussed things amongst themselves.

Cheng Xin didn't dare to breathe loudly; he was trapped in the shop by three children.

A few minutes ago, three children came to this floor and stared at him the moment they saw him. Cheng Xin had a bad feeling, so he got up and left. He was a speed-type ability user, and he used the complicated terrain of the shopping mall to dodge left and right. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after turning into a shopping mall.

However, before he could fully exhale, the three children came into view, staring intently at him inside the shop.

He, a speed-type ability user, failed to shake them off and even misjudged the situation, thus creating this predicament for himself!

How could you not have shaken them off?!

Cheng Xin was horrified.

He had been in the mall for a while and had learned a lot about its strangeness. He knew that he couldn't judge things by outside standards. After entering the building, he climbed from the 13th to the 15th floor. In just those few floors, he encountered more than five A-Rank ability users! The abnormal energy made the mall full of powerful people, and he realized this.

But can three little kids be this strong? How old do they look? Five? Seven?

Cheng Xin was shocked. After calming himself down, he decided to talk to the three children. He had entered the building with the Ability Control Bureau' exploration team and had been doing missions and climbing the building to find his teammates ever since. He didn't think he had made any enemies or grudges with anyone, so... the three children might have mistaken him for someone else.

Just as he thought this, he saw one of the three children who were huddled together whispering to each other flick his hand, and a thin black rope appeared out of thin air in his hand, forming a string of humans.

Cheng Xin immediately shut his mouth and looked up in shock.

"!!!"

It's my teammates!

They're all here!

Like a gourd on a vine.

Cheng Xin's chest heaved as he looked at the three children.

A wary look appeared in their eyes; they hadn't mistaken him for someone else, they were after him.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he moved with lightning speed, taking advantage of the three children's momentary lapse in attention to attack.

Then a rope flew over and tied him up. The instant he was tied up, a tentacle pierced the back of his head. He didn't even have a chance to react before everything went black and he passed out, becoming the seventh human on the vine.

The three monsters stared down at Cheng Xin as he fell to the ground. After a while, the third monster tugged at the rope, causing the seven humans on it to tremble. He turned to the monster beside him and reported, "Second brother, it's tied up. This is the last one."

The second monster turned to report to the eldest, "Big brother, it's tied up. This is the last one."

The monster leader nodded solemnly. "Yes, this is the last one."

The third brother asked again, "Second brother, what do we do once we've found everyone?"

The second brother asked the eldest brother, "Big brother, what do we do once we've found everyone?"

The eldest brother glared at his two dim-witted younger brothers and said in a childish voice, "Of course it's for delivery! Do you think you're going to keep them as toys?"

He was disgusted, finding no fun in keeping humans as pets. The second and third brothers shared the same disapproval, shaking their heads in unison. "No way."

Human beings are only beautiful and interesting in the second of death; as long as they are alive, there are no fun things to do.

It's time to deliver, but--

I recalled the scene when they left the fifth floor.

The ruthless Slaughter God has come to the mall; he's on the fifth floor.

The compatriots they asked for help in finding the person were also on the fifth floor.

ah.

The three monsters silently approached the railing and looked down at the building below.

"... She's not dead, is she?"

The three monsters remained silent.

Suddenly, the building shook, and countless toys emerged from all parts of the mall, bursting through the railings and rushing towards the central atrium. There were so many, densely packed, like moths to a flame, all heading towards the same place, clicking and clacking, the sound echoing throughout the mall.

The three monsters were dumbfounded.

So many toys.

So many toys.

So many toys.

"Second brother, the barrier between the buildings seems to be broken." The third monster turned his head blankly.

"Big brother, the barrier between the buildings seems to be broken." The second monster turned his head.

The monster leader, with a stern face, snatched the rope from the third brother's hand, raised his hand high, and the rope flew out like casting a line while fishing. The rope flew into the air above the atrium, bumped into several toys rushing upwards, and then stumbled and fell down to below the 16th floor, swaying back and forth.

He nodded. "Yes, it's broken."

Huh, how did it suddenly break?

The three monsters looked at each other in bewilderment.

The toy flew out with such a loud thud that it startled everyone in the building, and they all rushed to the railing in the atrium.

News of what happened on the fifth floor had spread like wildfire throughout the building. Countless people learned that a toy had devoured a person on the fifth floor without activating the mission. In this time of widespread panic, they witnessed this scene—

Like toy locusts, they ignored the barriers between buildings and rushed towards the top floor.

The task rules are fake.

The building barriers are fake.

So, the exit on the 99th floor was fake too?

silence.

The people in the building fell silent, and then collapsed in that silence.

99 floors.

Countless toys surged menacingly towards the 99th floor. A flash of silver light, and a shard of mirror, carrying murderous intent, pierced the mall's wall. After the attack, the murderous intent slowly receded from the Mirror Woman. She stood there, watching the toys hurtling towards the floor, her lips curving into a wide smile, and laughter uncontrollably spilled from her mouth.

The charging toys paused, their blank faces showing a series of question marks.

Where's the murderous aura? Gone?

Should we continue the fight?

Toys continued to pour into this floor, their sheer number creating a cacophony of impacts as they bumped into each other, toy toppling and falling over.

Ye Jiang: "..."

After the Mirror Woman finished laughing, she wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Ye Jiang, and her eyes were full of deep meaning.

She suddenly started chatting with Ye Jiang: "Three hundred years ago, I fell into the mall with that person from the Ability Control Bureau. Only a few years later, that person from the Ability Control Bureau died, leaving me all alone in the mall. For a long time, I fought with the toys in the building every three days and every five days. The toys wouldn't let me go, and we fought like this for hundreds of years, until twenty years ago, I can't remember exactly what age, it's been too long. On that day, humans started appearing in the mall, and the toys established rules, shifting their focus to the humans in the building. Since then, the toys have stopped bothering me and fighting with me."

The Mirror Woman explained, without hiding the abnormality in herself.

Three hundred years—this is not a number that should appear in human beings.

She is not human.

Ye Jiang looked at the Mirror Woman's hand and, as expected, did not see the Blood Moon symbol.

Ye Jiang didn't ask her whether she was a monster or Polluted; it didn't matter.

The Mirror Woman noticed where her gaze fell, and her lips twitched slightly. She neither hid her hand nor explained her identity. She continued, "More than twenty years later, the toy that had lost interest in me has once again become attached to me, just to take a lens from me."

She looked at Ye Jiang's hand and clearly knew that Ye Jiang was holding a lens that belonged to her.

She stared intently at Ye Jiang: "They want to give you an energy lens."

She said, emphasizing the pronunciation of the word "send".

After speaking, Ye Jiang, who had maintained a calm demeanor, raised her eyes and met the gaze of the Mirror Woman.

The Mirror Woman the word "gift" to interpret the toy's behavior, implying that the toy harbors subjective goodwill towards Ye Jiang.

The toys established the rules of the building, deceived the humans inside, and manipulated them with lies for decades.

Yet this terrible toy showed kindness to Ye Jiang, and only to her.

This is the interpretation of the Mirror Woman.

The Mirror Woman said, "That's why I chose to make a deal with you."

Ye Jiang remained silent, and the Mirror Woman, unconcerned, continued talking to herself. She said, "I've been searching for the mall's exit for hundreds of years, but I couldn't find it. So I gave up and instead focused my attention on the building. Everywhere the mirrors are, my gaze is fixed on them. I'm watching everyone here, hoping that someone else can find it."

She gazed at Ye Jiang and said, slowly and deliberately, "More than twenty years have passed, and I have finally waited for you."

"When you stepped out of the elevator and onto the first floor, all the toys stirred and watched your arrival."

"Your first task is for a Dalmatian toy to want a hug and pet from you. Eventually, the task is changed to a handshake, and all the toys on that floor, seeing this, send similar affectionate requests to you."

90 floors

The toys sent Chen Hong to deliver a love letter to you. A superhuman wanted to attack you, so all the toys moved and issued a mission to kill the superhuman. When the superhuman controlled the toys to attack you, they chose to self-destruct. For the first time, the other toys broke the rules they had set for you and attacked the superhuman.
