Was the Villainess Given an Evil Villain's Script?
A higher-level monster might be slightly defeated by another higher-level monster, but death? That's unthinkable!
In fact, the deaths of those two high-level monsters remain an unsolved mystery in the Monster Realm to this day. How could high-level monsters be killed? It's as if, as if a monster of a higher level than high-level monsters was quietly born in a place unknown to them.
The Monster Realm generally believed that only the one in the Sky was superior to all other high-level monsters, and there was only one. However, the appearance of the Slaughter God shattered the monsters' conventional wisdom.
Thinking of this, Shi Li's eyes darkened, and her wariness of that Slaughter God slowly resurfaced. Although Ye Jiang had strongly asserted that the monster was not violent and ferocious, an existence beyond comprehension was itself a danger.
Ye Jiang was very surprised to hear Shi Li's introduction, because she had encountered too many high-level monsters. Shi Li was a high-level monster, Dong Zhen a high-level monster, No. 3 was a high-level monster, and her newly hired teacher, Luo Manyu, was also a high-level monster. She had thought there were many high-level monsters.
Shi Li noticed her confusion and explained, "Descending to the human world by fulfilling human wishes is actually a method that was only researched in the last two or three hundred years. It only circulates among high-level monsters. The fact that mid- to low-level monsters know about it is due to their good luck."
Ye Jiang realized that this explained why, despite the fact that the Surface World was not the main base of monsters, high-level monsters were swarming here, causing her misunderstanding.
Ye Jiang hadn't forgotten her embarrassing blunder of forcibly becoming a mother, and feeling subtly awkward, she took advantage of Shi Li and Dong Zhen's presence to ask curiously, "How are monsters born?"
Aside from special cases like the group of little Coal Ball lumps upstairs, how is life passed down in this vast Monster Realm?
Ye Jiang thought she had just asked a fairly ordinary question for a monster, but as soon as she said it, Shi Li and Dong Zhen were both speechless.
Ye Jiang: "?"
Is this a difficult question?
That's a real problem.
Dong Zhen tilted her head, her dimples filled with confusion. "Huh? How are monsters born?"
Shi Li tapped her forehead with her tentacles. "It feels like I was born the moment I opened my eyes."
Dong Zhen nodded. "When I opened my eyes, I was deep inside the Eye of the Abyss, and the corpses of monsters were falling like rain. It was so romantic."
The Eye of the Abyss is located at the far end of the Inner World. It is a demonic cave that has pierced through the earth's core, infamous for being the most fiercely contested place in the Monster Realm, where monsters fight and perish every moment.
Shi Li glanced at him disdainfully. "So you're just a country bumpkin."
She proudly declared, "I was born in Central City!"
Dong Zhen scoffed, "Central City? Is that even a city? It's just a bunch of weak monsters huddled together, barely surviving. As monsters, instead of improving themselves, they're busy building city walls. What's the point? They make it sound so nice, but I remember that so-called Central City gets wiped out by outsiders on average every three years."
Shi Li: "..."
This is true.
Enraged, she reached out to poke a hole in the boy, but he dodged with a grin, and the two quickly began fighting. Ye Jiang reached out to pull them apart, but the fight was so intense that they ended up on another floor. Her hand hung empty in mid-air, and she stared blankly into space.
Her two encyclopedias left her to fight, and after waiting a while without them returning, she sat expressionlessly on the railing to watch the humans training below.
After Ye Jiang went to the mall and came back, her supermarket business started to pick up slowly. Human ability users started it, and more and more ability users would come downstairs to patronize her supermarket whenever they had free time... and under the guise of patronizing the supermarket, they would chat with Ye Jiang, trying to coax her upstairs to teach them a few moves. Oh, this was completely unnecessary.
After too much of this unnecessary small talk, Ye Jiang lost interest in the supermarket. She called back the Invisible Man she had sent to watch the warehouse to work at the cashier, and then retreated back to her room on the 100th floor for some peace and quiet.
By now, she had completely transformed the room on the 100th floor. It featured a soft cloud-shaped bed, a matching cloud sofa set, and a small cloud garden blooming with pure white flowers. Most importantly, above the room, a square, transparent box floated in the air, containing 26 shimmering crimson moons, like a beautiful square lamp.
lamp.
Without Dong Zhen's illusionary decorations, Ye Jiang transformed the room into the way she liked.
Sometimes Ye Jiang would stare blankly at the "square lamp," trying to catch the blurry fragments of memory that floated out like fireflies. She wanted to find her memories, but she didn't want to directly confirm the ones about Rong Yin with him. The only memories she wanted to recall were theirs. The latter probably felt the same way. After they recognized each other, they never brought up their past. This became an unspoken understanding between them.
The shopping mall wasn't stationary in City A. Since Ye Jiang regained control, she had it move randomly around the world. Because the mall was covered by a spatial concealment spell, it was invisible to the outside world, but new scenery could be seen every day from the windows of the rooms.
Ye Jiang discovered that she was a person who could endure loneliness. She could stay in her room all day looking at the scenery. From this point of view, she was indeed a long-lived life form monster with a weak sense of the passage of time and an instinctive habit.
She had been staying in her room the whole time, so she didn't know that something minor had actually happened at the supermarket downstairs. Zhao Yi went to the supermarket to buy something and saw the invisible Invisible Man. He was stunned on the spot, feeling that the face looked extremely familiar but he just couldn't remember it. When he got back, he thought about it carefully and finally remembered. Wasn't that the face of the supermarket cashier the illegitimate son of the Zhou Family who was wiped out in the Class A Invisible Man Incident?!
When Zhao Yi investigated nurse Ding Xuan, he also investigated the Zhou family. The A-level transparent man incident was definitely a major event in the history of A City. Nurse Ding Xuan, the head of the Zhou family, and the young head of the family were all active protagonists in this incident. However, the Zhou family's illegitimate son had disappeared long before the incident and could only be considered an insignificant side story in this incident. They thought he was dead, but it turned out he was still alive.
As one of the executors of that incident, Zhao Yi was happy to see that there were still survivors. So he ran back to the supermarket that day and stared at the Invisible Man for a long time with satisfaction. The Invisible Man almost miscalculated and thought that his identity as Polluted had been discovered by the Ability Control Bureau. If Zhao Yi hadn't returned to normal later, the Invisible Man would have wanted to run away.
Ye Jiang went to the supermarket again because she happened to see the little monsters shopping there when she left her room. Thinking they had reverted to their old ways and were up to robbery again, she went to catch them. However, she discovered she had wronged them this time; the money they had was from their legitimate earnings.
The little monsters started going downstairs to be sparring partners for humans, earning money that way.
The first time "toys" went down to the human floor, it startled a group of human superhumans, but they soon discovered that these "toys" were not barbaric; they were just observing.
Later, somehow, the human ability users started communicating with "Toys." Eventually, "Toys" became close with the ability users and even became their sparring partners. The human team leaders were initially worried and even considered asking Ye Jiang, the owner of the shopping mall, to manage the "Toys" from the upper echelons. However, after interacting with "Toys," they gradually accepted this situation.
Now, combinations of "toys" and superhumans are everywhere in shopping malls, as if racial barriers do not exist.
It doesn't exist, at least not in this shopping mall.
The shopping mall created a unique environment that, to some extent, blurred the perceptions of its patrons, making them feel that there was a mall owner who could completely control everything here. Even if there was a significant difference in strength between the two races, some interaction could still be established. This was because they subconsciously trusted the mall owner; even if things got out of control, the mall owner could immediately stop it. The mall owner would be able to guarantee the smooth operation of both sides. Such a thing would be difficult to achieve outside the mall.
In short, the interaction between humans and the monsters inside the toys began.
After learning about the matter, Ye Jiang's eyes flickered, but she did not intervene to separate the "toys" from the human ability users.
Chapter 140 The Villain: Is She Playing the Evil Villain?
Ye Jiang left the mall again because the Ability Control Bureau had invited her to attend Song Cen's funeral.
Half a month has passed since the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau's exploration team was forced to evacuate the mall due to the termination of their mission, and half a month has also passed since the remains of the heroes from the Disaster Day returned to the world. During these two weeks, the Ability Control Bureau has been busy. Now, the training at the mall is basically on track, and the Ability Control Bureau can finally take a breather and arrange for the former heroes to rest in peace.
Each city where a branch of the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau Ability Control Bureau is located has a cemetery, the final resting place for most of the Ability Control Bureau personnel. Those who have dedicated their lives to serving humanity will eventually find rest there. Song Cen's life has long since ended; the hero's soul should return to peace.
Song Cen was a staff member of the Special Affairs Office's City A Branch Bureau three hundred years ago. Although City A three hundred years ago is very different from the City A of today, his hometown remains the same, which should allow him to feel a bit of the tenderness of his hometown.
Holding funerals for the fallen members of the Ability Control Bureau is never an act of publicizing the achievements of the deceased; it is only for the Ability Control Bureau's internal remembrance of their comrades, so it is not publicized extensively. Only some leaders and a few executive members of the Ability Control Bureau, as well as some headquarters personnel who are still here in City A, attended the funeral, totaling only about twenty people.
Ye Jiang was the only external person invited by the Ability Control Bureau. She was invited because she returned Song Cen's testing bead, so the Ability Control Bureau did not exclude her from the list of those involved and notified her.
Ye Jiang hadn't originally planned to attend a human funeral, but as she lay idly in bed, bored to the point of staring at the cloud garden in her room, her soul was unexpectedly struck by the loneliness of the room, and she remembered the moment she was moved by the story of the hero and the Polluted from three hundred years ago.
She sat up abruptly, and after a long while, got out of bed.
