I can equip strange items

According to the message Lu Jiayin sent earlier, there should be many desperate criminals like Baldy outside Linjiang City.

Unfortunately, he didn't know where the other outlaws were.

Name: Li Yuan

[Realm: Ominous Sign (Quasi-Level) 3]

[Current Equipment: Jade Pendant for Health and Protection]

[Temporary keyword acquired: Equivalent Evolution (Blue)]

[Permanent fix condition: Maintain the equipment's status and perform one hundred good deeds, including but not limited to punishing evil and helping others (2/100)]

[Permanent entries: Fitness Enthusiast (Green), Night Owl Enthusiast (Green), Listening Skills (Green), Escape Expert (White)]

【Friendly Reminder 1: ……】

……

【Friendly Reminder 4: Permanent attributes can be copied by consuming essence and spirit, and bestowed upon all things.】

The number of permanent entries has increased to four.

There are three green entries and one white entry.

The only blue term is the one that is currently being solidified.

Fortunately, the fixed condition for this entry is killing evil people or doing good deeds; killing innocent people should be invalid.

"However, it would be best to complete this task by doing good deeds, otherwise I'll turn into a ruthless dragon sooner or later!"

Li Yuan secretly reminded himself that he could not go to any lengths to solidify the entries, and that he had to stick to the bottom line.

By then, it was completely dark.

After searching the vicinity for a long time without finding any other fugitives, Li Yuan took another detour and entered Linjiang City through a place without checkpoints.

Although the [murder knife] has been used up, the bamboo knife is shaped like a bamboo stick and is not conspicuous, but who knows if the military checkpoint has a scanner?

I'm not an exorcist yet, and if the true form of the bamboo sword is discovered, it might be confiscated.

Moreover, carrying 30,000 yuan in cash on him could cause trouble if discovered.

Thirty thousand yuan in cash—that's a huge stack, enough to bulge your pockets; it's far too conspicuous.

After all, under normal circumstances, what kind of good person would carry so much cash around?

I wonder if there's an entry for "storage space"?

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of that post about rice cookers from back then.

Unfortunately, the original poster blocked him.

As soon as I got back to the city, Yan Qin sent me a WeChat message: "Do you want to come over for dinner? I've cooked the food."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I'll be there around eight o'clock."

After sending the message, he immediately took a taxi back and did not continue hiking.

I wonder if there's a night market near Sanjiang Residential Area?

He decided to go out for a walk after dinner.

Although the city is very safe and bustling during the day, with nothing unusual happening.

But in today's increasingly bizarre world, the real dangers are likely to occur at night.

At 8 p.m., Li Yuan got off the car at the entrance of Sanjiang Residential Area.

As soon as I entered the residential area, the bamboo knife in my hand suddenly became sensitive.

A chilling aura appeared to the left front.

"Evil spirits?"

Li Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and walked towards that direction without making a sound.

However, when he reached the foot of a huge banyan tree, he suddenly lost sight of his target.

"They ran away?"

Li Yuan, filled with suspicion and uncertainty, carefully sensed the surroundings: 'Something's wrong. The bamboo knife's connection hasn't disappeared; that evil spirit is still nearby.'

He continued his search discreetly.

The banyan tree next to it must be very old, with a diameter of more than half a meter and a height of more than ten meters, its canopy covering a large area.

There are also several fitness facilities under the old banyan tree.

For example, single bar and double bar, and things that train waist strength.

The night view in the community is beautiful. There are green lights in many places, which illuminate the green belts and make them look lush and beautiful.

However, while there were people everywhere else, there was no one under this tree.

This is very strange.

Just as I was wondering, a vine suddenly shot out.

"puff!"

With a flash of light, the vine was split in two and burst into flames, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

In a moment of confusion, Li Yuan was astonished to find that there was no vine at all.

I was still under the old banyan tree; everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

However, the bamboo sword he had drawn was not sheathed, which meant that he had indeed been attacked.

'Psychological attack?'

His eyes turned cold, and he suddenly looked at the old banyan tree next to him, then swung his knife at it without hesitation.

The moment the bamboo knife fell, a golden pattern suddenly appeared at the point of contact.

"what……"

A scream seemed to echo in my mind.

Li Yuan felt a chill and suddenly channeled his essence, energy, and spirit into the bamboo knife to ward off evil.

The protective properties of bamboo knives are not inexhaustible; their energy is conserved, so they also require essence, energy, and spirit to transform.

The next moment, golden patterns rapidly spread where the bamboo knife touched the old banyan tree, causing golden flames to rise wherever it passed.

In the blink of an eye, the entire banyan tree was ablaze.

"Aaaaaah!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire neighborhood, startling countless people who turned to look in shock.

However, this scene lasted for less than a second before suddenly disappearing.

The golden flames that had enveloped the entire old banyan tree just moments before suddenly vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, on the equipment panel in Li Yuan's mind, the completion progress of the solidification task for the [Equivalent Evolution] attribute had directly reached three percent.

"Dead?"

He was overjoyed, quickly sheathed his sword, and hurriedly left the place.

"Is there a fire over there?"

"I think I saw that tree catch fire..."

"I saw it too, but the flames suddenly went out. What happened?"

Some people in the distance looked over with suspicion.

"Could there be something wrong with that tree? I remember now, Old Chen's child seemed to have been frightened there before."

"No way? Is there really something wrong with that tree?"

Many people were surprised and uneasy.

Someone mustered up their courage and walked over, and soon noticed something was wrong.

"The tree...the tree is bleeding!"

"My God, this tree is bleeding... Has it come to life?"

This discovery was quite significant, and many people in the vicinity were immediately frightened away.

However, there were always some daring people who continued to get closer to observe, refusing to believe in superstitions.

Li Yuan also mingled back into the crowd, looking at the bleeding old banyan tree with a strange expression.

The spot where the old banyan tree was bleeding was precisely where he had previously slashed it.

"Trees have become spirits? Could it be that so-called demons and monsters are actually spirits and monsters?"

He suddenly understood and finally realized what the so-called demons and evil spirits were.

Seeing that the bamboo knife was no longer responding, he mingled in the crowd and touched the old banyan tree. When the equipment panel showed no reaction, he turned and left.

Next, Li Yuan walked around the neighborhood again, constantly sensing with his bamboo knife.

Seeing that the bamboo knife no longer reacted, he left reluctantly.

Just as he arrived at the foot of the third building, Yan Qin sent another message: "Li Yuan, are you here yet? It seems something happened in our neighborhood."

"I'm already downstairs."

Li Yuan replied, and then took the elevator upstairs with several other residents who had "escaped" back to the community.

"Hey bro, just moved here?"

A young man looked at Li Yuan curiously: "I don't think I've seen you before."

The two women beside him also looked at Li Yuan with suspicion and wariness in their eyes.

The main reason was that strange things had just happened in the neighborhood, which made them very nervous.

"Yes," Li Yuan replied without changing his expression.

Soon, he got off the elevator on the fifth floor and took out his key to open the door.

Inside the elevator behind, the three people saw that he had a key to open the door and finally believed that he was also a resident here.

In the living room, Yan Qin heard the door open and immediately stood up nervously.

At that moment, the door opened, and Li Yuan walked in, then casually closed the door behind him.

Upon seeing that it was Li Yuan, Yan Qin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to greet him, asking, "Did you hear the screams just now?"

Clearly, she had also heard the scream earlier and was frightened.

"It's an old banyan tree that has become a spirit."

Li Yuan did not hide anything, lest Yan Qin continue to be afraid: "However, I have already killed the tree spirit, and now only an empty shell remains."

"Oh no... Could that scream just now have been made by the tree spirit?"

Yan Qin looked surprised, and the tension in her heart completely dissipated.

"That's right."

Li Yuan saw that the suite, which had been covered in dust, was now clean and tidy, and Yan Qin looked very tired, obviously having been busy all day.

He didn't mention the spirits anymore, and changed the subject, saying, "Didn't you say the food was ready? I've come to freeload."

"It's ready, the food's still in the pot, let's eat now."

Yan Qin happily went off to do her work; with Li Yuan here, she always felt at ease.

However, during the meal, Li Yuan suddenly said, "I won't stay here for long. Perhaps I will leave Linjiang City tomorrow."

He thought of the superhumans he had encountered outside the city, and the possibly more powerful supernatural beings and evil spirits that might exist.

I may be considered very strong by ordinary people, but I am not strong enough in the eyes of true experts.

However, Linjiang City is guarded by the military, and most of the strange items have been looted, so it is not a suitable place for him to develop.
