Innate ability rules and innate abilities
Just when they were at their wits' end, the captain of the exploration team came out with news that the predictions of the superhumans had come true and the mall was facing a crisis of destruction. Fortunately, thanks to the Healer, the danger was averted and they were saved from disaster.
When Ye Jiang led the people from the Ability Control Bureau into the mall, she went to the Toy Graveyard. Earlier, she had left the graveyard in a hurry because she was chasing "Cheng Xin," and the toys were all over the ground and no one picked them up. Now she came back to deal with this matter.
The Toy Graveyard is a new floor opened up by the strange cat. He built it according to the layout of a graveyard, so it is cold, desolate and dark.
Ye Jiang walked into the floor, the dim light casting a shadow on her, making her appear lonely and frail.
The cemetery was severely damaged, and because it lost the energy sphere, the mall no longer repaired itself, so the collapse and dilapidation remained.
Ye Jiang watched all this, raised her hand, and a small energy ball floated in her palm. She gently lifted it, and the ball floated into the air, drifting towards a faded dinosaur toy and landing inside the toy's body.
A rich, gentle energy radiated from the toy, instantly spreading and enveloping the entire mall. This familiar, strange energy filled the mall once more, and the damaged mall began to repair itself automatically; the large hole filled itself, and the fallen lights returned to their original positions...
The newly arrived members of the Ability Control Bureau watched this scene in astonishment, exclaiming in their hearts that it was a miracle, unaware that the miracle they were marveling at had already vanished.
Ye Jiang stood there, bent down, and picked up a toy that had fallen over beside her.
The moment her hand touched the toy, a childish voice reached my ears.
[I can weave illusions now, the most beautiful illusions. I wonder if He will like them.]
Ye Jiang was startled, staring blankly at the faded toy in her hand. She hesitated, then straightened the toy, accidentally bumping into another toy next to it, and the sound came again.
[The toy I chose is a bit ugly. If it comes and sees me, it won't like me... Ugh, everyone's taken all the nice toys, boohoo.]
Ye Jiang paused.
She stared blankly at the room full of faded toys for a long time, then with a wave of her hand, all the toys that had fallen to the ground stood up as if gently lifted by an invisible hand.
At the same time, countless childish voices rang out in her mind.
[Oh, I've grown a beautiful wing. Will He like it? Too bad, by the time He comes, my beautiful wing will have already disappeared.]
[He didn't come today either.]
Where did He go?
[Waiting, waiting.]
[wait.]
[He... the Creator did not return today either.]
A series of voices rang out. The Quasi-Life inside the building were born with the illusion of being loved. From birth to death, they waited for their creator. They felt that they had been loved, so they believed that the creator would definitely return for them.
Therefore, before their consciousness dissipates, they use their remaining strength to leave their last voices to the Creator, to let them know that they have been here.
I don't hate you, I just regret that we can't meet again.
The strange cat built Toy Graveyard and set rules that death would drag all the remains into the graveyard, but there was only one skeleton in the graveyard.
Therefore, those people who were supposed to be eaten by toys did not actually die; it was just an illusion created by the toys, a prank.
They were simply sent out.
They just wanted someone to play with them. Why was Chen Hong, the first person in the building, able to win the affection of the toys Quasi-Life? Because of his carefree nature and his big heart. Only he treated the toys in the building as children and played with them. Their nascent consciousness was innocent and unaware of the consequences, but they never had any bad intentions.
They were just too lonely, waiting day after day, too disappointed, too alone.
Ye Jiang's eyelashes trembled slightly as the soft light of the lamplight fell.
She turned around, and the young man stood silently behind her, his gaze calmly fixed on her, his eyes filled with the same loneliness as the creatures in the building.
Chapter 134 Talent Rules and Talents.
In the conference room of the Ability Control Bureau City A Branch, high-ranking officials are gathered, and the atmosphere is tense.
"Cheng Xin is a monster, an unrecorded monster!"
"Cheng Xin, whom he replaced, has been confirmed missing, and it's highly likely he's dead. The search is ongoing."
"According to Captain Yu of the exploration team, this monster's malice towards humanity is extremely strong, the strongest in history. It is very dangerous, and a special task force must be formed to track and investigate it!"
"It's said that the sudden rampage of the large cats in the mall was caused by this monster."
"The monster left before the big cat went berserk, but our men guarding outside didn't find any trace of it."
"All the injured civilians from the Great Cat riot have been admitted to the hospital. Their external injuries aren't serious; the serious problem is the Pollution. And it's not ordinary Pollution; after testing and analysis, it far exceeds S-Rank. All the healing-type ability users in the city who can be mobilized have been called there, and the ' Part-Time Cat ' team is also helping. Good news has come from the hospital: these injured people can be treated, and if treated properly, they won't suffer any lasting effects. Logically, these injured people shouldn't have survived the rescue; this level of Pollution would have completely destroyed their mental state, but they all pulled through."
"... is Healer."
"The Healer used a protective artifact to preserve the last glimmer of clarity in the depths of the people's minds. When Captain Yu of the exploration team regained consciousness, the protective artifact had not yet completely deactivated. He learned from the Healer that it was the Healer's protective artifact, and that the Healer had saved these people."
"The Healer not only subdued the rampaging giant cat despite facing terrifying Pollution far exceeding S-Rank, but also cared for and protected ordinary citizens."
The spiritual sea, we... we..."
Suddenly, the room fell silent.
The responsibility that should have belonged to their Ability Control Bureau was instead borne by Healer who were just ordinary citizens, and they felt ashamed.
In the silence, at the very center of the curved conference table, an elderly man in a Tang suit with completely white hair and beard and a compassionate look in his eyes spoke gently, "Let's double the compensation for the Healer that was previously agreed upon in the contract."
The so-called reward is probably just some insignificant material possessions to a healer as powerful as Healer, but that's all they can offer. If the Healer has other requests, they will do their utmost to fulfill them.
Elder Zhu sighed and asked, "Where is the Healer now?"
Ye Jiang leaped over the city wall. A Polluted sat atop the high wall. As Ye Jiang flashed past, the corrupted being raised its head, its cold and beautiful face facing her, staring at her silently. Ye Jiang paused for a moment, then, having already gone far away, turned back upon seeing this, landing on the city wall and facing the Polluted across the distance.
"What is it?" Ye Jiang asked calmly, her tone even, but a hint of helplessness could be detected if you listened carefully.
The Polluted had been following Ye Jiang when she left the city. Because she couldn't keep up, she stopped at the city wall. She didn't expect that when she returned, the polluter was still there, seemingly waiting for her.
"It's nothing, I just want to follow you." The Polluted, with her extremely cold and beautiful face, spoke in a somewhat comical way, saying, "I'm yours now, of course I'll follow you forever."
It was supposed to be a clear and sunny day, but a strong sense of feudalism suddenly wafted over, arriving without warning and leaving Ye Jiang speechless.
The Mirror Woman walked towards her and waved in front of her. "Hey?"
Ye Jiang pushed her hand away, somewhat regretting making the deal with this Polluted. It seemed that not all deals were worthwhile; impulsive transactions made without careful consideration could easily result in something strange being earned back.
With a blank expression, she said, "Don't follow me."
Mirror Woman: "Is this an order?"
Ye Jiang: "You can take this as an order."
The Mirror Woman nodded solemnly. "Alright, I'll obey."
Ye Jiang: "."
She suspected the Polluted was playing a trick on her.
She straightened her face and turned to leave, but the Polluted called her back. Ye Jiang stopped and looked at her. In that glance, there was not a trace of humor in the Polluted. She stood on the high wall, the breeze tugged at the hem of her clothes, and her figure seemed to be tinged with a cold loneliness by the wind.
"I have something for you," the Polluted said, his voice hoarse.
As she spoke, she took something out of her bosom, her hand trembling slightly, as if she was extremely reluctant to part with it.
Please give me your hand.
Ye Jiang looked at her for a while before reaching out her hand. The Mirror Woman placed something in her palm, and a cool, refreshing touch came through. Ye Jiang looked closely and saw that it was a bead.
It is a detection bead from the Ability Control Bureau.
Ye Jiang's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had guessed something. Sure enough, the next second she heard the Mirror Woman say, "These are Song Cen's belongings."
That year, Song Cen mistakenly entered the body of a cat. When he came out, he was all white-haired and withered. He walked towards the Mirror Woman, but stopped at the pillar where she was hiding. The Mirror Woman rushed out of the pillar, but only saw a corner of his clothes and... a bead placed on the ground in front of the pillar.
"He must have discovered me behind the pillar, knew his days were numbered, and that's why he left this bead."
"But I know this bead wasn't meant for me. If he were to give me something, it would be something personal, not public. He wants me to pass this bead on to the Ability Control Bureau, so I think it must be quite important," the Mirror Woman said.
Rationally, that was true, but out of personal feelings, she didn't want to hand over this only keepsake. She also wanted to keep something to hold onto, which is why she didn't take out the detection bead when she encountered the Ability Control Bureau.
But she ultimately didn't want to let her old friend down.
She decided to give the testing beads to Ye Jiang.
She said, "Since you're familiar with the Ability Control Bureau, please pass this on for me."
As Polluted, she didn't want to have contact with those who preyed on Polluted.
Ye Jiang examined the bead. It was indeed a very important item. Yu Hai said that the detection bead from the Ability Control Bureau had a one-time storage and message function. Song Cen had left it behind, so it must contain important last words, something that Yu Hai had been searching for but could not find.
