I can equip strange items

"You should leave here right away. We can talk on WeChat if you need anything."

Li Yuan was too lazy to explain anything; sooner or later, someone would find out about the changes in him anyway.

After saying that, he walked directly towards a small supermarket nearby.

Behind them, Meng Jinyu watched Li Yuan depart with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Thinking back to the strange things that happened to me yesterday, and the overwhelming sense of panic I felt in the department store just now...

Even the bizarre situation just now, where one moment your legs were so weak you couldn't walk, and the next you suddenly could run and jump again—

She suddenly realized that the world had truly changed.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan bought a notebook and a pen in the supermarket and wrote down all the information he had found in the department store.

Of course, this is limited to the approximate location and quantity of the strange objects.

The only place with truly detailed information is Nightmare Castle.

He didn't mention anything related to the entry.

After all, the entries are one's own secrets, and this is something that absolutely cannot be revealed.

He was prepared to use this information to make a deal with the authorities.

Yes, a transaction.

Although I am willing to help resolve the impending disaster, I cannot allow myself to be misunderstood as a selfless and philanthropic philanthropist.

In the coming chaos, a public-spirited and righteous person is not necessarily a good persona.

After writing this, he tore off the letter paper filled with writing and threw the excess paper and pen into a roadside trash can.

He then walked back again, keeping an eye on the entrance to the department store ahead.

"The strange items here are too complicated; I have no chance of getting my hands on them at this stage."

Li Yuan was well aware of this.

Since that's the case, let's find a way to get the government to take it away first.

"Anyway, with my equipment panel, I'll have countless opportunities to acquire various good attributes in the future, but right now, this department store is starting to suffer a disaster..."

Once the disaster fully erupts, who knows how many people will die?

Will this trigger a chain reaction, disrupting my living environment and various plans?

Moreover, even if the government takes it first, I will still have a chance to get it again in the future.

On the contrary, if it were to fall into the hands of ordinary people, I might never have the chance to get my hands on it again.

Having figured this out, Li Yuan felt much more at ease.

Ahead, large numbers of people continued to rush out of the department store in a panic.

Some people simply fled the area.

However, some people astutely noticed that the eerie sense of panic suddenly disappeared after leaving the building.

As a result, some people stopped nearby and looked at the department store with suspicion, which led to more and more people gathering there.

"These people... they won't learn their lesson until they're faced with dire consequences!"

Li Yuan thought to himself, "It's a bit lively, but not so interesting."

At this point, more and more people in black trench coats arrived.

Li Yuan spotted two men in black trench coats walking together and suddenly walked over, stopping the two who were in a hurry.

Suddenly stopped by someone, Zhang Chenghao frowned slightly and looked at the person who came, puzzled.

"Are you two official members?" Li Yuan asked proactively.

"Since you've already stopped us, why ask the question you already know the answer to?" Zhang Chenghao said coldly.

"Excuse me, I just wanted to confirm your identities first."

Li Yuan did not back down: "Because what I'm about to say is very important, and it relates to what is happening inside the department store."

Zhang Chenghao, who was initially a little impatient, suddenly raised an eyebrow and then took out an ID card and threw it over.

Li Yuan took the document in surprise and looked at it—

[Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau - Seventh Team - Zhang Chenghao...]

There's a long string of numbers after that, which is probably an ID number or identity code.

At the very bottom is a very prominent stamp, signifying its official status.

"Abnormal transaction management? Just as expected from the authorities! And this Zhang Chenghao is quite open-minded; he actually showed me his credentials directly."

Li Yuan returned the documents and then said in a serious tone, "A friend asked me to make a deal with you, but he can't get away, so he can only ask me to do it."

Although, as an official, it would be easy to find out that he was the one who obtained the information on the letter—

But what he wanted to express was simply an attitude.

An attitude of "disliking to show off".

Zhang Chenghao didn't seem surprised: "What's your friend's name?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say."

Li Yuan shook his head: "This transaction involves the locations of at least ten strange items and detailed information about one strange item."

"What...?"

"The locations of at least ten strange items and detailed information about one more strange item?"

Zhang Chenghao and his companion were both taken aback.

They initially thought the panic in the department store was caused by a strange object going out of control, since there had been no casualties so far.

In addition, strange items rarely appear together.

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, neither of them could remain calm.

"Can you take responsibility for what you say?"

Zhang Chenghao said solemnly, "Now that you know our identities, you should understand even more clearly that the price of deceiving us is not something you can bear."

My friend said he would take responsibility for this.

Li Yuan replied without changing his expression: "In addition, my friend also said that the strange items involved this time are of great importance, so you need to give a strange item that is not too expensive to use but is very useful as a trade."

Zhang Chenghao hesitated slightly, then said, "I need to know some information first, and verify its authenticity."

Li Yuan was prepared and directly took out the letter containing information about Nightmare Castle and handed it to Zhang Chenghao.

Zhang Chenghao looked down and his face immediately turned ugly.

"Will all the children who have entered it have nightmares for the rest of their lives? And..."

He couldn't help but gasp: "The holder can summon a castle and be invincible inside?!"

"Really? Invincible?"

His companion looked on with suspicion and uncertainty: "It should only be invincible within specific rules, right?"

Having encountered eerie objects more than once, they naturally knew how terrifying they were.

He believed that even if the information on the letter was true, the so-called invincibility was only under specific circumstances.

Because both the eeriness itself and the eeriness of the objects are somewhat like the supernatural tales of the rules.

As long as you can avoid certain rules, you can easily dismantle that so-called invincibility.

Without hesitation, Zhang Chenghao contacted the other teams, instructing the team already inside the department store to verify the information's authenticity.

Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry and just strolled around nearby, not wasting any time.

"What are you doing walking around like that?" Zhang Chenghao's companion asked, puzzled.

"I got into trouble with something unclean before, so I need to keep walking, otherwise my legs will hurt," Li Yuan explained seriously.

Zhang Chenghao raised an eyebrow: "Need any help?"

"Thank you, but no need, my friend can handle it." Li Yuan shook his head.

Zhang Chenghao didn't say anything more. Some special organizations with considerable capabilities had already emerged in the private sector, so he wasn't surprised by this.

The attitude of the authorities towards those non-governmental organizations is to turn a blind eye as long as they don't cause trouble.

But if they dare to cause trouble, we will not tolerate it!

Meanwhile, inside the department store.

After receiving Zhang Chenghao's message, a man and a woman in black trench coats quickly went upstairs and made their way to the top floor.

They located the plastic castle immediately and then took out a device to scan it.

The place was now deserted; even the staff and the owner had all run away.

"Beep beep beep..."

A piercing alarm sounded, and the device screen displayed three large characters: Cataclysmic Level.

Immediately, the two men in black trench coats gasped.

……

"Any news?"

Zhang Chenghao picked up his phone and glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrinking: "Catastrophic level?!"

"What? Cataclysmic level?"

His companion was also taken aback, and then looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't know what a catastrophic level meant, but he had provided information about the plastic castle—

That means that a Cataclysmic level should correspond to a blue-quality Mysterious item.

"My friend, please give us the rest of the information first; this matter is of utmost importance!"

Zhang Chenghao said solemnly, "As for the transaction your friend mentioned, I hope it can be postponed. But rest assured, the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs will not let any citizen who has made a contribution feel disheartened."
