Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 477: See the truth in 2 hours (Leisure new book content)
The palm glowed with a faint green light, continuously flowing into his ears, alleviating more than half of the intense stabbing pain.
After casting four Level 0 "Repairing Minor Injuries" magic spells in succession, and confirming that his ears could now hear sounds normally, he finally let out a long breath.
This Level 0 "Repairing Minor Injuries" magic is truly convenient. At least the rather cautious Li Qing had no hesitation in learning it after seeing it, and only succeeded in installing it into his system three days ago.
How exactly can I deal with this thing...
Li Qing pondered. The main issue just now was his physical reaction ability wasn’t quite enough, and his strength was lacking; otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have been able to break free so easily.
If he were a First-Ring Mage, dealing with such a Resentful Ghost would have been a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t.
After thinking for a while, Li Qing knocked on his neighbor’s door.
It took quite a while before a wary voice quietly sounded.
"Who is it?"
"It’s me, your neighbor."
There was silence for a while. The other person unlocked the anti-theft chain and opened the door a crack, revealing an eye full of suspicion looking at him.
"What do you want?"
Li Qing said helplessly, "There’s something in my room, and I can’t go back temporarily."
Seeing how calm and composed Li Qing was, the girl curiously said, "Aren’t you scared?"
The girl knew something strange was going on next door, and if circumstances allowed, she definitely wouldn’t be living here.
Li Qing smiled mysteriously, "What do you think I bought this apartment for?"
"So, you really can catch ghosts?"
When mentioning "ghost," the girl pronounced it very lightly, not even making a sound, fearing something was nearby listening to their conversation.
"I can manage a bit, but I’m a little unprepared."
Li Qing didn’t expect that female ghost to be truly fierce. If he hadn’t reacted quickly, he’d be lying inside by now.
The girl asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Uh, although it’s a bit abrupt, could you possibly put me up for a night?"
Mainly because next door’s position is too advantageous, Li Qing wanted to find another chance to go in and give that thing a hard hit. He hadn’t yet used quite a few spells. Breaking into his territory was frightening enough; now that he’s calmed down, he feels unsatisfied not retaliating.
"Ha? Uncle, what age are we in now, and you’re pulling this trick? If I let you in, you’ll probably show your true colors, won’t you!"
Seeing the girl with a look of "I understand your intentions," Li Qing laughed, "Come on, this is the new century, and do I look like a bad guy?"
"Yeesh, you can never know a person fully."
Li Qing shrugged helplessly, "Alright, sorry for bothering your rest."
Since the other party was unwilling, Li Qing wouldn’t force her, even though the "Switching Technique" magic made her security door as good as unguarded.
But Li Qing was a good person.
Seeing Li Qing turn to leave, the girl called out to him.
"Is your ear bleeding?"
Li Qing instinctively touched it, looked at his hand, and indeed, he hadn’t noticed it much before; only after calming down did he realize.
"Not a big deal."
Seeing Li Qing’s nonchalant demeanor, the girl pondered for a moment, then said, "Wait a moment." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The girl closed the door, and after the sound of unlocking the security chain, she slowly opened the door.
She held a phone in her left hand, glancing at the screen, where the emergency call button was, and her right hand was behind her, likely holding either a stun gun or a fruit knife, as she slightly sidestepped, nodding her head.
"Come in."
Li Qing didn’t immediately go in, asking, "Are you alone at home?"
The girl impatiently said, "Uncle, you checking household registers before making a move? Are you coming in or not?"
Today’s young girls are really too mature!
Sighing inwardly, Li Qing entered the girl’s home.
"You’ll sleep on the sofa tonight."
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Seeing the girl bring him a quilt, Li Qing took it and smiled, "I’m Li Qing."
"I’m Li Nianwei."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, "Did your dad name you?"
"Seems you’re quite the smart one."
Evidently, Li Nianwei found Li Qing’s silly question quite perfunctory.
Li Nianwei wasn’t surprised; clearly, many people had asked her name.
Seeing Li Nianwei not leaving, Li Qing said, "Thank you."
"Mm, no problem."
Seeing Li Nianwei still standing there watching him, Li Qing pointed at his ear.
"This little Li Nianwei, since you let me in, could you give me a towel to wipe the blood?"
"Go wash it off in the bathroom yourself."
"Alright, I’ll just borrow your bathroom for a bit; I’ll clean it up, don’t worry. It’s late, you should be going to school tomorrow, right?"
"I know."
Hearing Li Nianwei’s response, Li Qing nodded slightly, got up, went to the bathroom to wash, and after coming out, seeing Li Nianwei still hadn’t returned to her room to rest, he couldn’t help but say, "Go on, what do you want to ask?"
Li Qing knew the other party had allowed him in after some hesitation, clearly having a request.
Li Qing didn’t feel annoyed about it; it’s human nature. Li Nianwei helped him, and he should repay her. Reciprocity is proper.
Hearing Li Qing taking the initiative to speak, Li Nianwei had no hesitation.
"How do you catch ghosts, talismans, Taoist skills, or a Copper Coin Sword?"
Seeing Li Nianwei so enthusiastic, Li Qing poured cold water on her, "Sorry, you’ve watched too many movies; there’s no such thing."
"Then what do you rely on?"
"Actually, strictly speaking, ghosts are a kind of magnetic energy, formed from the residual magnetic field of a person after death. Many ghosts dissolve completely after a short period. So, using demagnetizing items is a good way to exorcise them."
There’s some truth to it. The human body does have a magnetic field, and disruptions in this can lead to various diseases.
"Demagnetizing items?"
"Catch ghosts with cling wrap, defeat them with chocolate; if you can locate a ghost’s position, a single hit and it’s happily resolved."
"Huh?"
Li Nianwei looked dumbfounded at the earnest and serious Li Qing, and gradually, her face turned solemn.
"You think I haven’t watched movies? Leave early tomorrow."
Having finished, she stormed into her room, slammed the door, and locked it securely.
Li Qing looked wryly at the closed door, chuckling quietly. Should he tell her that he’s actually a Mage, capable of using Telekinesis Attack?
Only then did he take a look around the room’s layout.
The furniture seemed to have some age but was quite tidy.
However, Li Qing didn’t find any adult items, it seemed Li Nianwei lived alone.
Lying on the sofa, he engaged in meditation for two hours; Li Qing opened his eyes and carefully listened, confirming Li Nianwei was asleep, before quickly getting up and approaching the front wall.
