I can equip strange items

"Wow, wow, she's an absolute stunner..."

"Wow, this is beautiful! This is going to be awesome!"

The others also looked over in surprise.

Although Lu Jiayin's figure wasn't very noticeable because she was wearing a black trench coat, her looks were still top-notch.

Yan Qin, needless to say, exudes a strong mature woman's charm, like a ripe peach.

The group of people immediately became excited, feeling that they were in for a treat today.

However, their expressions suddenly changed when they saw Lu Jiayin and the driver's attire clearly.

"Holy crap, a black trench coat?!"

"Run!"

Several people had clearly seen the black trench coat before, and they quickly grabbed their companions and turned to run.

"What's wrong...?"

"What's wrong with you? That guy's from the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs..."

"What? Holy crap..."

The remaining people were so frightened that they turned and ran away.

One of them even dropped his machete.

Lu Jiayin, who was in the passenger seat, had already drawn her pistol. When she saw that the group of people turned and ran without hesitation, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She then got out of the car, rolled the gasoline can to the side of the road, returned to the car, and said to her companion, "Let's go."

"Just like that, you're leaving?" Li Yuan asked.

Yan Qin was also puzzled; those people were just about to rob someone.

Moreover, judging from the words of those people, if the people in the car didn't have much ability to resist, their fate would definitely be very tragic.

"These kinds of things are handled by the military or armed police; they're not within our scope of duties," Lu Jiayin replied.

Yan Qin frowned slightly, suddenly feeling very worried.

If someone is robbing people on the street outside Linjiang City, what about inside the city?

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat; those people from earlier were definitely not good people.

Since the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs isn't handling it, I might as well leave the task to myself.

At this moment, he noticed that Yan Qin was absent-minded, and comforted her, "Linjiang City is a major trading city, it's definitely not that chaotic."

"I hope so," Yan Qin said, still somewhat worried.

With Li Yuan protecting her along the way, she experienced a long-lost sense of security.

But if she gets there and Li Yuan leaves, she doesn't know what will happen.

After all, Li Yuan was just doing his job for money, and he would leave once he got her home.

"I just checked, the city is very safe."

At this moment, Lu Jiayin said, "Linjiang City is a municipality directly under the central government, and it is also a major transportation port and trading metropolis. The army has already taken over and just cleared it out a couple of days ago. Those who caused trouble were either arrested or driven out. What happened just now should just be an isolated case."

Yan Qin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Just as Lu Jiayin had predicted, no further accidents occurred on the rest of the journey.

Furthermore, before the vehicle entered the city, it was intercepted by the military, where a checkpoint had been set up.

Any vehicles in the vehicles ahead that were found to possess controlled knives had them confiscated.

However, their car was allowed to pass immediately after Lu Jiayin showed her identification.

Clearly, the identity of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs is very useful.

This made Li Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the escort from the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, he might have been stopped after arriving here.

Looking at Li Yuan's expression through the rearview mirror, Lu Jiayin smiled and said, "Old Zhang told you about the Exorcist Association, right? As long as you join the Exorcist Association, you can openly carry dangerous items, provided that the item itself does not have the characteristic of intentionally harming people."

"I'll consider it," Li Yuan nodded.

Finally, the SUV entered the city.

Along the way, they saw patrolling soldiers every few blocks.

The city appears to have fallen under military control.

However, apart from patrolling, the military does not seem to interfere with the residents' normal lives.

Therefore, vehicles are still passing normally on the streets, pedestrians are still on their way, and office workers are still going to work as usual.

There are even many breakfast carts, fruit carts, and so on.

Everything here seems to be in order, and there has been no chaos.

This scene completely put Yan Qin's mind at ease.

Another half hour later, the SUV stopped outside the Sanjiang residential area on Daxue East Road.

"Please get out of the car, both of you. Our mission is now complete."

Lu Jiayin got out of the car and personally opened the car door for the two of them. She said to Li Yuan, "The Exorcist Association probably doesn't have a dedicated venue yet. The assessment location will probably be at the City Hall or the Armed Forces Department. My suggestion is to take the assessment as soon as possible. The early assessments will be relatively easy and the procedures won't be too complicated."

"Thank you for the reminder." Li Yuan nodded, took his things, and followed Yan Qin out of the car.

However, he deliberately dropped the machete he had obtained from the Shadow Society member to avoid being misunderstood by the military and thus causing trouble.

"By the way, let's add each other on WeChat."

Lu Jiayin suddenly took out her phone: "If you can't contact that other side, you can call me."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded and added Lu Jiayin on WeChat.

Soon, the off-road vehicle restarted and left the area.

"Can you take me inside?"

Yan Qin suddenly spoke up: "I haven't been back for two years, and I don't even know how the houses here are doing."

She used to see posts online about people who went out to work for several years and then came back to find their houses occupied by their neighbors or other similar situations, which made her a little worried.

"Okay, then I'll take you in." Li Yuan did not refuse.

This residential complex looks rather upscale, because the security guards at the gate don't seem to be ordinary people.

However, it's not considered strong; it's certainly not at the level of having twice the physical attributes.

Yan Qin showed the security guard her owner's certificate and then smoothly led Li Yuan into the community.

"Which floor?" Li Yuan asked.

"Fifth floor, there's an elevator."

Yan Qin replied, "Although I haven't been back for the past two years, I've been paying the property management fees on time."

The houses here are actually very nice; she wouldn't have gone back to her hometown if it weren't for work.

However, she lost her job there and needs to find a new one here.

Li Yuan discovered that this residential area was quite upscale, as it had many fitness facilities, as well as a leisure plaza and a fountain.

In short, the area is well-greened, the scenery is beautiful, and the air quality is good.

At this moment, some elderly people are already taking their children for a walk in the community.

Before long, they arrived at the third building and took the elevator upstairs.

I also encountered two people who lived in the building, but since we weren't familiar with each other, we just nodded to each other as a greeting.

Finally, they arrived at the fifth floor, and Yan Qin took out her key and opened the door.

A thick cloud of dust rushed towards us.

Although the furniture in the living room was covered in dust, everything seemed normal.

This suite should have five bedrooms and one living room, and it's quite luxuriously furnished. Yan Qin's ex-husband must be very wealthy.

Li Yuan carefully sensed the surroundings and, finding nothing amiss, prepared to take his leave: "It seems there's nothing wrong, then I..."

"Aren't you going to take the exorcist exam? You shouldn't be leaving Linjiang City so soon, right?"

At this moment, Yan Qin spoke up again: "My house is very big, why don't you stay at my place for a while?"

Li Yuan was somewhat tempted, but he feigned reluctance and asked, "Is this...appropriate?"

Yan Qin seemed to realize something, her face slightly flushed as she warned, "I'm just letting you stay at my house temporarily, don't overthink it."

"I wasn't thinking anything."

Li Yuan replied seriously, "But it's still early. Why don't you clean up first, and I'll go familiarize myself with the neighborhood and the surrounding environment?"

To be honest, this was his first time visiting Linjiang City.

"Okay, then you take the key. If the security guard stops you, just show him the key. This kind of key has electronic sensors and can also prove the owner's identity."

Yan Qin took out a key and handed it over: "Let's add each other on WeChat first. If you can't find my house, just send me a message."

Since the house was so dirty, she wanted to do a thorough cleaning first, so that Li Yuan wouldn't laugh at her.

"OK."

Li Yuan took the keys, added Yan Qin on WeChat, and then turned and went downstairs.

He didn't take the elevator downstairs, but instead walked down the stairs.

He wanted to see if there were any unusual items in the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, after leaving the building and walking around the neighborhood, he still didn't sense anything.

So he left the residential area and headed to other places.

Because the bamboo knife was shaped like a bamboo stick, and the murder weapon was wrapped in cloth and hidden inside his clothes, the gatekeeper did not notice anything unusual.

Li Yuan took out his phone, opened the map, and discovered that the confluence of the three rivers was actually the city center.

"They must be rich to be able to buy a house in a place like this!"

He sighed, then put away his phone and wandered aimlessly, familiarizing himself with the surroundings while sensing the presence of unusual items.

His main purpose in coming to Linjiang City was to find special items that he could equip.

"Huh? There really is one..."

After walking only a few hundred meters, Li Yuan suddenly looked at a shop.

It was a clothing store, and the decor looked quite upscale.

He hesitated for a moment, then strode over.
