After searching through the shopping mall, Ye Qiyan found absolutely nothing unusual.
The mall was just a mall, the shops were just shops, and the people were just people.
Even when he deliberately touched them and used the system to appraise them.
These people shopping and eating in the mall were indeed all human.
"Is this not an anomaly-type station? What exactly is the mission..."
Inside a hot pot restaurant, Ye Qiyan frowned, completely uninterested in the food before him.
Lisette, sitting across from him, blinked and extended her hand, gently placing it between Ye Qiyan's eyebrows.
"Lisette?"
The furrow between his brows was smoothed away by her touch.
Suddenly, she spoke a sentence.
"Be at ease."
"..."
Ha, Ye Qiyan's mood instantly relaxed considerably from its previous tension.
"Did I make Level 8 stations seem too terrifying?"
"Thinking carefully, didn't I safely pass through those dangerous stations before? Even more dangerous stations weren't impossible to clear."
"No, even if there really are dangerous station worlds, it doesn't mean every place within them is dangerous."
"Thanks Lisette, let's eat, let's eat. Whatever happens later, we should fill our stomachs first."
Indeed, why worry about so many things?
The bridge will straighten when the boat reaches it, the road will appear when the cart reaches the mountain.
Everything will work out if we just let things proceed naturally.
The more urgently he sought the truth and station clearance, the further the truth and clearance method would drift from him.
Since that little girl named Fengfeng wanted them to participate in this Food Festival here.
Then he would grant her wish.
Become guests of this shopping mall.
There was no time limit for the stop.
He could afford to wait.
Picking up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks and putting it in his mouth, the fragrant spiciness exploded on his tongue.
"Hiss, this hot pot is quite delicious. Boss, pack me ten portions of the base sauce first."
Lisette watched her master, the smile on her face growing increasingly bright.
————
Wind Wind Shopping Mall.
Fourth floor.
In the office.
A figure sat in a chair watching Ye Qiyan on the monitor while slightly frowning.
"He really is a strange man, completely without fear? Or is he acting with confidence because he has something to rely on?"
The figure rubbed his chin, a box of pastries resting beside his hand.
"Confident Train Conductors are everywhere. I hope you truly have some capability."
Knock knock knock—
The office door was knocked.
Little girl Fengfeng walked in while eating cake.
"Uncle, the guest has arrived."
The man nodded.
"I know."
He took a bite of the pastry beside his hand, his gaze firmly fixed on Ye Qiyan in the monitor.
"We must properly entertain our guest. We must let him eat his fill and drink well, only then can we satisfy its tastes."
————
For an entire day, Ye Qiyan took Lisette around playing continuously through the mall's four floors.
He truly set aside the fact that this was a Level 8 station for the time being.
Eating, drinking, playing, enjoying—although it couldn't compare to a major city like the City of a Thousand Stars.
There was one thing.
Everything here was free.
Freebies bring happiness.
Probably no one could refuse free cream cakes and fried chicken with beer.
Of course, Ye Qiyan didn't gain nothing throughout this entire day.
He discovered that no matter when or where, the people in this mall always had to hold some food in their hands, and at regular intervals, they continuously ate.
Wasn't this strange?
Besides this, he also conversed with some people.
However, no matter who it was, even when Ye Qiyan used his Bewitchment power, he still couldn't hear anything from their mouths about this mall having underground spaces.
But, the Crossroads of Fate wouldn't lie.
There absolutely was some underground space here.
Perhaps there, he could find the answers he sought.
At night, Ye Qiyan didn't return to the train.
Accommodation here was also free.
He booked the most luxurious suite and stayed directly.
That feeling of being watched still didn't disappear even after entering the room.
Ye Qiyan observed the room's surroundings.
Behind a mirror directly facing the bed, he discovered a surveillance camera used for spying.
The corner of his mouth curled into a slight arc, and before crushing the camera, he revealed a provocative smile.
He had been able to feel someone watching him throughout the entire day.
But it didn't matter. Ye Qiyan opened his mouth, silently forming words with his lips.
"I will find you."
Then, after crushing the monitor and having Lisette conduct a thorough search of the area, Ye Qiyan began his plan.
Arrogance~
Bewitchment~
Two Demon Cards manifested around him.
One above, one below, intersecting with each other.
Two different powers merged into Ye Qiyan's body.
He walked out of the room, with Lisette not following.
She remained here, waiting for Ye Qiyan's return.
Next.
It was time for Ye Qiyan's show.
Under the power of Bewitchment and Arrogance.
After walking out of the room, even those surveillance monitors fundamentally couldn't detect his existence.
When these two Demon Cards were paired together, their powers intermingled to briefly achieve something approaching complete erasure of presence.
The principle of this ability was to use Bewitchment to make others believe that blurry, unobservable figure didn't exist.
This lie had to be maintained continuously, even needing to deceive Arrogance itself.
The two powers would cancel each other out to some extent.
So it couldn't be maintained indefinitely.
Everything about him was wrapped in a layer of falsehood.
Even if he walked into a crowd, no one would pay him any attention.
Ye Qiyan reached the first floor location.
This timing happened to be exactly when the Food Festival was ending for the day.
Those houses outside the mall were clearly insufficient for all these people to reside in.
Ye Qiyan wanted to know where they would go after this Food Festival.
Closely following behind one person.
People's expressions had become more wooden compared to during the daytime.
As if the souls within their bodies had been extracted by some entity.
Arriving before a door.
Everyone lined up and entered through that door one by one.
The moment they stepped through the doorway, Ye Qiyan saw.
The person entering would suddenly transform into dark green slime, collapsing to the ground, then converge toward one direction, forming a small vortex that flowed underground.
People? Transforming into slime?
During the daytime, the system hadn't appraised that they would become like this.
System error?
Not likely.
Then it was... truly transforming from humans into slime!
And, underground?
Indeed, this mall's underground space was the target he needed to find.
Not continuing to alert the enemy.
After silently memorizing this location, Ye Qiyan returned to his room.
Tomorrow, he wanted to see.
Would this mall still be like today?
With crowds surging, allowing the Food Festival to continue?
Or perhaps.
That fellow who built the locomotive Jing Guan would appear tomorrow and begin to take action?
