Chapter 356: Li Yuning's Personal Belongings

Li Yuning, who had been "defending" Lin Ling, suddenly realized something was wrong as she spoke. She raised her brows, her eyes bright. "Wait, the Chaos Demon absolutely cannot peer into the future regarding Brother Boss. We have entered the Forest Cabin many times; it is very likely that a situation has already emerged that falls outside the Chaos Demon's calculations. It might not have absolute certainty about the development of events now."

"So that's why, on the way here, that group of Children of Cruelty wanted to stop us from heading to the location of the Socialite Gathering." Wang Hanyi realized this afterward, his voice slightly excited.

When people in desperate straits realize that hope exists, they will grasp it at all costs and use it as motivation to climb back up; this is a quality that other intelligent races in the mad universe, besides the human race, do not possess.

"Let's treat a dead horse as a living one and give it a try, stopping them from resurrecting the Bloody Empress." Li Yuning's expression was bright and vivid, her tone no longer dejected.

Wang Han nodded. "First, we have to find a way to get rid of that guy outside the door, then return to the room where the singing came from earlier. We need to know what they did before we arrived."

"Mm." Li Yuning took out some of the items she carried with her to share information with Wang Han. Under Wang Han's dumbfounded gaze, Li Yuning shook a pile of odds and ends onto the ground like a stray dog shaking off fleas.

"Did you rob Lin Laoban?" Wang Han blurted out, mocking her.

"Tsk, a small portion are things Brother Boss left in the warehouse to gather dust that he didn't want, but most of the rest were bought for me by my dear father because he dotes on me!" Li Yuning pouted in dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Wang Han's expression turned strange; he couldn't judge whether the Lin Laoban and the dear daddy she spoke of actually doted on her or not.

The things in the Forest Cabin must all come with a Curse. With so many Abnormal items on her person, if another person with high inspiration who could observe Blessing magnetic fields were present, that person would surely be frightened by the monstrous Blessing on Li Yuning.

Li Yuning introduced the Abnormal items to Wang Han one by one. She picked up a very small stainless steel Hammer with indelible bloodstains and said, "This is a Bone Hammer. Yes, it's the common surgical tool you're thinking of from a dental clinic. Using it to hammer teeth is top-notch. Brother Boss said a crazy dentist once used it to actively attack the Tooth Fairy, and he actually managed to hammer out the Tooth Fairy's teeth. But unfortunately, hammering them out doesn't mean killing the Tooth Fairy, and he was eventually killed by the Tooth Fairy in return. The blood on the Hammer is his and the Tooth Fairy's. After the crazy dentist died, his resentment was sensed by a Blessing and lodged within the Hammer, giving the Hammer some Abnormal abilities; its destructive power against teeth is visibly powerful.

But you must be vigilant: don't hold this thing for too long, because you will very likely be infected by the madness inside the Hammer and eventually assimilated into the former crazy dentist. You should know that the dentist didn't just hammer the Tooth Fairy; he had always used this thing to hammer humans to death, it's just that he was unlucky enough to hit a hard target that day."

After introducing one, she picked up the metal Marbles scattered on the ground. "These are Marbles, but they are wrapped around human eye lenses inside. However, they aren't just any human eyes; they are eyes that possessed spirit-vision during their lifetime. When you carry them with you, you will gain the ability of spirit-vision, but if your inspiration isn't high, you must be vigilant at all times about whether the Marbles you carry are missing. Otherwise, you will find it hard to discover that one is missing, and you will find a bloody eyeball in your pocket.

Don't be afraid, and don't throw them away, because that is your own eye. It's just that you unknowingly thought the Marble was your eye; you unknowingly swapped your own eye with the Marble."

Listening to Li Yuning's introduction, Wang Han's face grew paler and paler. What kind of twisted things was this little girl carrying around? And were her Brother Boss and old father really doting on her? Was it really okay to let a little girl carry these dangerous things around?

Wang Han was a bit scared, but he was still listening carefully. While examining the pile of objects Li Yuning had poured out, he quickly discovered two familiar items.

One was an ancient token used to summon criminals, and the other was a pair of Shackles. Weren't these the same style of items as those on Wei Jiang, the clerk of the Forest Cabin?

"Aren't these..." Wang Han picked up the token and the Shackles, looking at Li Yuning, his gaze revealing surprise and questions.

Li Yuning nodded in response: "Yes, these were given to me by Uncle Wei for protection. With them, I can use a portion of Uncle Wei's power."

"What kind of existence is Mr. Wei exactly?" Wang Han couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"He is a trusted aide by Brother Boss's side, he watches the shop, and occasionally goes out on field missions, but very rarely. Dad said he once protected us father and daughter, and told me to repay him well if I have the chance in the future." Li Yuning blushed with embarrassment as she spoke, saying shamefully, "It's a pity I can't repay him yet; my ability is insufficient. He is so powerful that he doesn't even need my help."

Wang Han was speechless. He knew Li Yuning had intentionally not answered the question he really wanted to ask, but he chose to accept this explanation. He looked at the token, which was marked with the character "Fire," meaning it was a Fire Token.

It was a token used by ancient officials in Shenzhou to summon criminals for questioning. The commonly used ones, in order of urgency from low to high, were the Wind, Fire, and Thunder tokens. The Wind Token had average urgency and was a commonly used token; the Fire Token was already considered very urgent and would attract high attention to summon the criminal quickly, while the Thunder Token meant extreme urgency.

However, Wang Han was a bit puzzled: how could a token used to summon criminals play a role, and what could it do?

As for these Shackles, Wang Han had some impression of them. He had seen Wei Jiang use them earlier today to shackle the soul of Zhao Qian, who was detained in the Wan Hun Lake. That is to say, these Shackles possessed the power to restrain Abnormal creatures.

But could this thing restrain an Avatar of an Alien God? And Li Yuning had described that Alien God as so powerful—something like the offspring of the origin of all things—which sounded much more terrifying in origin than an ordinary Alien God.

Li Yuning saw Wang Han's misgivings. She smiled, took the Fire Token and Shackles from his hand, and said, "Don't worry, this pair of items is the best magical treasure I have here. I will use them as a trump card. Whenever one of us two encounters a great danger that is hard to resist, I will use them up."

Afterward, she thought for a moment and handed the Shackles to Wang Han. "This is for you. You can use it to lock the movements of Abnormal creatures. When using it, just smear your own blood onto the Shackles and you can drive them with your mind."

"Are there any precautions?" Wang Han was happy to receive a powerful protective item, but he was still more concerned about the side effects.

Li Yuning's eyes drooped slightly, and she slowly raised the corners of her mouth, saying: "It shortens your life. Of course, for people like us whose lives are thinner than paper, our natural lifespan is very short; we might die after using it once."

Wang Han was instantly dazed, his eyes confused, but he still gripped the Shackles tightly and put them away.
