Li Yang never thought that Guiyi would like shopping so much. He would leave in the morning and return home in the evening.
She looked at Mo Qing happily carrying the things back to the bedroom, and a string of swear words popped up in her mind.
She had originally planned to deal with this guy in the morning and then go to the Xuanshu shop in the afternoon! In the end, she only had time to transfer the money from the customs clearance bank card and the card Mo Qing gave her to her own card.
"Forget it, I can only go tomorrow." Li Yang sighed and soon figured it out. Anyway, he had enough money in his pocket and was not in a hurry to buy materials.
Instead of thinking about those things, it's better to think about what kind of magic weapon to forge now.
There are many types of magical weapons, but generally speaking they can be divided into three categories: offensive, defensive, and luck-transforming.
Compared with their functions, there are more diverse appearances, from the compass and peach wood sword that look very magical at first glance, to the more low-key pendants, bracelets, and rings, or the serious long swords, short swords, daggers, long knives, short knives, etc. These are all very common appearances of magical instruments.
Experienced weapon refiners can also forge more styles of magical weapons. If they are powerful enough, they can even make it into the shape of a pen or a hairpin.
But generally speaking, magical instruments that are too big or too small are not strong, because the materials and treasures that can be integrated into them are limited. One is likely to lead to uneven distribution of abilities, while the other is too full, which is equivalent to asking one worker to do seven or eight jobs, and in the end, none of them can be done well.
After all, not every material can grow into just the right shape, so most magical weapons only use the most powerful treasure as the main body, such as the gems inlaid on swords.
Li Yang thought for a while and had a rough idea in his mind. He went back to his room to find paper and pen to draw a rough sketch.
But before she could reach the bedroom door, there was a knock on the door from the entrance.
"Who is it?"
"Property."
Li Yang was a little surprised, but still went forward and opened the door.
Outside the door were two men in uniform, one looked to be in his forties or fifties, the other younger.
The older one stood at the back, wishing he could get as far away from her house as possible. When he saw her, he looked as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Apparently, the strange incident that happened in this house is known to everyone in the community.
"What's the matter?" Li Yang actually hoped that others would not dare to come. She didn't like being disturbed, not to mention that there was a strange person with red eye disease living in her house.
The younger property manager poked his head into the house and asked, "Has anything strange happened at your house?"
"ah?"
"Look, we were on patrol today when we found an auntie who had fallen from the building. While we were waiting for the ambulance, she said your place is haunted... Should we call the Ghost Hunters to take a look?"
Li Yang looked puzzled. "What does her falling downstairs have to do with the haunting in my house?"
The property manager shook his head. "We don't know either. She fainted after she finished speaking. We came to ask for the owner's safety."
Hearing this, Li Yang smiled slightly and glanced at the property manager standing behind him with a frightened look on his face. "Is that so? Then you're not afraid of ghosts?"
"I'm afraid, but isn't it true that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat?" The young man admitted it directly.
Don't be fooled by his normal appearance. In fact, he was so panicked that he didn't know what he was saying. He just wanted to confirm it quickly and leave.
"I'm fine, nothing unusual. If there's any problem, I'll call the Conspiracy Bureau myself. Thank you."
After hearing this, the property manager couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered quietly: "If there is a problem, you probably won't even have the chance to call the police."
The young man pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Okay, you can call the property management if you need help, then we won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he left a business card, turned around and took the uncle away.
Both of them walked very quickly, and it was obvious that they didn't want to stay here.
Li Yang stood at the door, looking at their hurried backs, deep in thought.
Why does it feel like the people in the neighborhood are so scared of this house, as if they are absolutely certain that it is haunted?
Everything was normal in the house during the few days she went to the dungeon, and she hadn't encountered any strange things during her time living there, except for Mo Qing who showed up yesterday.
But when they talk about an auntie who fell from the upstairs, they say it was because her house was haunted...
Li Yang suddenly remembered something, closed the door and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
Sure enough, the talisman paper stuck on the window here was forgotten to be taken down, and the traces of the spell on it became lighter.
Some talisman papers are disposable and turn into a ball of ash after use, while some can be used multiple times, such as the electric shock talisman in front of you.
How many times it can be used depends on the spell and the strength of the spiritual power infused.
The amulet that saved Xiaobai's life is a disposable item. It is difficult to modify it to be used multiple times. It requires a very high level of understanding and cultivation of runes, which is not something that any mystic can do.
After all, from a more mysterious perspective, this is no different from defying fate and changing one's destiny.
"Isn't this the third floor???"
Li Yang stepped on the edge of the bathtub, opened the window and looked down.
There was a cement floor downstairs outside the bathroom window, with some deodorizing plants planted next to it. Now there was a pool of bright red blood on the floor.
She tiptoed to look further outside and found a few incomplete and shallow shoe prints on the water pipe outside the building.
"...I'm a flying thief."
Does that mean that the auntie climbed up the water pipe and tried to open her window to get into the house?!
I don't know whether to say that she has such a fine figure at such an old age, or to sigh at her courage.
Anyway, Li Yang was shocked. She returned to the living room and took out several other electric shock talismans from the drawer of the coffee table.
I didn't notice it when I put it away this morning, but now I find that the spells on every sheet seem to have become lighter. One sheet that is lighter than the others should be the one on the door. It was electrocuted by Mo Qing this morning, so the signs of use are more obvious.
So, during the days she was away, someone tried all the doors and windows of her house?
Fortunately, she had the foresight to take some anti-theft measures before entering the dungeon.
I just don't know if it was done by one person or several people?
The electric shock talisman left by Li Yang has little killing power and cannot kill people, but it can temporarily paralyze people's limbs.
If every piece of talisman paper has been triggered, the other party should not be able to pull open the bathroom window, right?
"It's hard to say... What if she only comes once a day? A day would be enough time for her to rest."
"But, is there really a thief so persistent that he still wants to break into a house even after being electrocuted multiple times???"
Li Yang couldn't figure it out, so he took out the business card left by the property management guy and dialed the number on it.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hello, property manager."
"Hello, I live on the third floor of Unit 9. I'd like to ask who the auntie who fell is."
"Oh, that auntie, she's also a resident of the complex, I think she lives in Unit 12."
"Besides her, has anyone else fallen near Unit 9 recently?"
"I don't think so. I haven't heard from other colleagues. Are you asking if you've discovered anything unusual? Do you need to call the police?"
"It's indeed necessary, but I can report it myself. Please save the surveillance footage around Unit 9 from seven days ago to today."
"Ah? Ok, alright."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he hung up the phone, Li Yang seemed to hear a very small voice on the other end, as if saying something like "trouble" or "it won't be good if it gets out".
