The materials really were fine materials.

Ye Jiang suspected that even if she was the manufacturer of these toys, she wouldn't be able to obtain the relevant information from them as the Mirror Woman wished.

This group of mentally challenged people doesn't seem like they can communicate with her.

Her expression tightened, and she showed a hint of disdain for the toy she had made herself.

The pelican toy tried to open its mouth again, but Ye Jiang manually closed it.

Ye Jiang looked at the Mirror Woman with a blank expression, her eyes conveying a message: "Look."

See, how is she going to get information from toys like these?

Mirror Woman: "..."

A crack appeared in her expression; this was a problem she had never imagined. Seeing the Mirror Woman's reaction, Ye Jiang felt inexplicably better. The pelican toy kept opening its mouth in front of her, refusing to give up even when Ye Jiang tried to stop it. It seemed as if the toy had a rebellious streak and was determined to give her a nudge.

Ye Jiang was at odds with the toy. She grabbed the toy's long beak, preventing it from opening its jaws again, and casually said to the Mirror Woman, "You've been with toys for three hundred years, haven't you noticed that their intelligence is a little off?"

The Mirror Woman's eye twitched.

She said expressionlessly, "My impression of these toys is that they are very aggressive. They often sneak up and tease me, and if they piss me off, they'll fight me. If they win, they'll dance around me; if they lose, they'll run away."

At first, she wasn't as powerful as she is now, so the toys would come out one by one to fight her. When she got stronger, they would switch to two, and eventually, they would come out in groups.

Three hundred years have passed, and she has continued to improve, growing from a weakling to the powerful woman she is today.

Unlike the fear that the humans who later entered the mall had of toys, Mirror Woman never felt that these toys were evil or terrifying, because over the years, they had countless opportunities to kill her, but the fact is, they spared her countless times.

She used to think that these toys were just looking for people to play with and were safe and harmless, until she saw them swallow some humans, which changed her mind.

The Mirror Woman gathered her scattered thoughts and continued, "I sense that they are conscious, but all my interactions with them have been fighting, so..."

Therefore, their intelligence issues were not addressed.

Ye Jiang: "..."

Ye Jiang locked the pelican's beak, and then another toy came along, its big mouth opening to bite Ye Jiang's head.

Ye Jiang didn't feel that the toy was going to eat her; she thought it might just be the toy's way of showing affection.

She turned her head away and declined.

The toy, having bitten empty air, stood there blankly, looking a little sad.

It stood there stubbornly, Ye Jiang's gaze fixed on it with a chilling intensity. It seemed to sense Ye Jiang's cold indifference, so it turned around... and went to bite Rong Yin.

Biting reluctantly.

Rong Yin dodged it with a slight shift of his body; the toy bit him, missed, and then bit him again, and he dodged again.

The Mirror Woman glanced at the young man as the toy moved, and that glance made her frown, sensing a hint of danger. Her gaze had been fixed on Ye Jiang Ye Jiang ever since she entered the mall, and she hadn't really looked at the young man beside her. Now she realized he was as dangerous as an abyss, so dangerous that it made her hair stand on end. How could this be? She knew how powerful she had become after three hundred years of growth; why did this young man make her feel like a mere pebble before a towering mountain?

Rong Yin naturally knew he was being watched, and he lifted his eyelids to glance at her. In that instant eye contact, the Mirror Woman was terrified; half of her body was on the verge of collapse, and slivers of silver light shone through the crack. She had uncontrollably launched an attack because of that one glance!

Rong Yin glanced at her once before looking away, then looked down at the toy that was opening its mouth wide and biting at him.

The Mirror Woman felt the needle-like fear that had been pricking her body dissipate like smoke. She felt as if she had survived a life-or-death ordeal, covered in a cold sweat, her heart filled with trepidation, her face filled with disbelief. What was this young man all about?

Rong Yin ignored other people's speculations about him. When the toy came crashing down on his head again, he turned his head to dodge it and, annoyed, shoved his hand into the toy's mouth.

The toy got stuck for a moment, and then, realizing what had happened, spat it out as if it had eaten something disgusting. Rong Yin calmly withdrew his hand and looked down at it.

"Were you bitten?" Ye Jiang asked.

Rong Yin looked at his palm, then flipped it over to look at the back of his hand. "Nothing."

Ye Jiang didn't notice the strange expression on his face when he said that. He just said "Oh" and stopped paying attention to it after hearing that he hadn't been bitten. At this moment, Rong Yin suddenly raised his hand and slapped the head of the toy that was biting him. Ye Jiang heard the sound and looked over, just in time to see that the toy's belly had been slapped open. He paused for a moment, leaned slightly, and looked at the toy's belly.

"What?" Ye Jiang glanced at it; from her perspective, she could only see that the toy's belly was empty, but the young man's expression was focused, and his gaze lingered on the toy's belly for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" she couldn't help but ask.

Rong Yin straightened up.

"Found it," he said.

Ye Jiang: "?"

What was found?

Rong Yin looked at Ye Jiang and uttered a single word. "Door."

He saw a door symbol on the top of the toy's belly.

Ye Jiang's eyes widened slightly. Ignoring the fear the young man instilled in her, the Mirror Woman, still bewildered, urgently asked him, "What?!"

She was anxious, but her sense of danger kept her in place, preventing her from rushing forward recklessly.

Rong Yin ignored her and simply told Ye Jiang, "It's inside the toy's belly."

Ye Jiang: "..."

She looked in surprise at the toy with its exposed belly, then at the pelican she had captured. The two toys looked blank and lifeless, and only then did she see in their blank expressions their eagerness to offer her an outlet.

Rong Yin voiced her conjecture. "The toy's mouth is a huge alternate dimension, connected to the toy's belly."

As soon as he put his hand into the toy's mouth, he immediately felt the presence of space.

So, the toy-like creature chasing and biting Ye Jiang was because it heard her searching for the door and wanted to tell her the secret.

Ye Jiang released the pelican's beak, and the pelican didn't mind at all, happily flapping its wings around Ye Jiang.

It's a bit windy.

Ye Jiang: "."

She grabbed the pelican's wing, stopping its magical attack. The pelican obediently rubbed the tips of its wings against her palm.

Ye Jiang felt a strange unease creeping into her palms.

She pursed her lips and gently patted the pelican's head. The pelican's belly was wide open to her, and she leaned forward slightly to see the door sign on the upper wall.

The door was indeed inside the toy. Ye Jiang had opened the toy's belly once before when she retrieved the mirror shards, but at that time her attention was focused on the mirror shards, and the memories that flooded her mind also distracted her, causing her to miss the small mark hidden on the upper side—the mark of the door.

Upon seeing the sign, Ye Jiang felt an inexplicable certainty that it was the exit sign for the shopping mall.

She remembered that the tag was supposed to be placed on the elevator button, but the toys had hidden it inside their bellies.

The mall's exits were controlled by the toys themselves.

The Mirror Woman searched for an exit for three hundred years, and humanity searched for an exit for over twenty years, all because Ye Jiang wanted to know, and the toys were easily exposed.

Ye Jiang's face was expressionless. She straightened up, looked at the anxious Mirror Woman, and said, "The transaction is complete."

She said, "I've found the door for you."

Thump!

Suddenly, a crashing sound came from below. Ye Jiang and Rong Yin looked over and saw the captain of the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau's exploration team. He had intended to sneak up to the 99th floor, but unexpectedly, he heard these words as soon as he arrived—

"I've found the door for you."

He slipped and fell to the 98th floor.

Chapter 127 The materials are really good materials.

A mass evacuation is unfolding at the Toy Mall. The wood-type ability users from the Ability Control Bureau have constructed eight passageways using vines, leading to floors 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The crowd gathered on the first floor moves in batches, stepping onto the passageways to go to each floor to "feed" the toys that are already waiting there. The toys have big mouths and swallow one by one.

This is the only way to leave the mall.

The Ability Control Bureau said the mall's exit was inside the toys.

The long lines of people waiting to be swallowed by toys were filled with mixed emotions. Being swallowed by toys had been a nightmare that had haunted them for decades, and now they were leaving the mall in this way. It was a strange feeling.

Anxiety, urgency, and bewilderment filled the air as people lined up.

As for why the toys weren't placed on the first floor, but rather the public was directed to other floors, this was due to a previous incident that caused everyone to gather on the first floor, making it too crowded to fit the toys. To avoid chaos, this relocation was decided upon.

The operation was very successful, and the evacuation proceeded in an orderly manner throughout.

The Ability Control Bureau has located the Logistics Team members who were unable to leave. They are currently helping to maintain order and reassure the public. Yes, even with the Ability Control Bureau's assurances, it is not easy to get people to willingly walk into the mouths of these toys, especially those who have been trapped in the mall for a long time and whose fear of toys has penetrated to the bone. Their resistance to toys is understandable.

An elderly man walked shakily to the vine-covered walkway. Just before he raised his foot to step onto it, he suddenly pulled it back, as if he had thought of something. His sudden movement caused him to bump into a young man behind him, eliciting a chorus of curses from the young man. The old man hastily apologized, and the young man gave him a few unfriendly glances, but ultimately just clicked his tongue and turned away.

The young man understood his feelings; he himself was also filled with anxiety.

A hand reached out to the old man and firmly supported his arm. Logistics Team member from the Ability Control Bureau had helped him up. The old man opened his mouth, his lips trembling as he tried to say he didn't want to go up. He was afraid; he wanted to say it but was afraid of displeasing the logistics staff, so his lips just kept trembling. Seeing this, the logistics staff member smiled gently at him, said nothing, and simply helped him to the side.
