The Mage's Hand, with two hands inflated to a size of one meter, firmly gripped the invisible Resentful Ghost, while the other two hands, connected by finger bones, transformed as if in a boxing stance, and then fiercely struck the air in front.

Resistance encountered! Effective!

Li Qing quickly scrambled up and retreated to the doorway, continuously controlling the Mage's Hand to attack.

Then, Li Qing couldn't help but change color; the Mage's Hand was somewhat uncontrollable against the opponent, the magic was gradually failing, and the opponent's Soul Power was too formidable for Li Qing to maintain the Mage's Hand at this stage.

He decisively turned and yanked open the room door, only to find it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"Switching Technique."

"Dispel Illusion."

Seeing the handle turning under his control, Li Qing's expression lifted, it worked. He violently pulled the door open, watching as the Mage's Hand disintegrated, and a blurry human figure abruptly appeared in the living room, shooting towards him like an arrow. Without hesitation, Li Qing slammed the door shut.

'Bang!'

With the door closed, all returned to tranquility, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Confirming that the opponent seemed unable to leave the house, Li Qing's tight nerves finally relaxed somewhat.

Once the adrenaline faded, Li Qing felt a severe stabbing pain in his ears.

He raised his hand to cover his ears.

"Repairing Minor Injuries!"

His palm glowed with a faint green light, continually pouring into his ears, alleviating most of the severe stabbing pain.

After casting four Repairing Minor Injuries Level 0 Magic consecutively, and confirming that his ears could hear normally, he finally breathed a Long Qi.

This Level 0 'Repairing Minor Injuries' Magic was truly convenient; at least the self-preserving Li Qing did not hesitate to start studying it after witnessing it, only successfully integrating it into his system three days ago.

How can I deal with this thing...

Li Qing pondered; the main issue was his physical reaction capacity was not great and his Power inadequate; otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have escaped so easily.

If he were a First-Ring Mage, dealing with such a Resentful Ghost would have been effortless.

Unfortunately, he's not.

Thinking about it, Li Qing knocked on the neighbor's door.

After a while, a cautious voice quietly sounded.

"Who?"

"It's me, your neighbor next door."

After a long silence, the neighbor opened a door gap secured with a chain, revealing an eye staring at him warily.

"What do you want?"

With some helplessness, Li Qing replied, "There's something in my room, I can't go back for now."

Seeing Li Qing's calm demeanor, the girl was surprised: "You're not afraid?"

The girl knows there's something strange next door; if conditions allowed, she would never live here.

Li Qing gave a mysterious smile: "Why else would I buy this apartment."

"So, you really know how to catch ghosts?"

Upon mentioning 'ghost,' the girl uttered it lightly, even without sound, fearing something might be watching their conversation.

"I know a little, but I'm a bit unprepared."

Li Qing hadn't anticipated the female ghost would be so fierce; had he not reacted quickly, he'd be lying in there now.

The girl asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Uh, though it's a bit abrupt, could you put me up for the night?"

Mainly, the neighbor's place is too convenient. Li Qing wants to find another chance to go in and hit it hard; he has several more magics unused, daring to cause trouble on his turf, just wait and see, although it scared him enough, now he's calm, not retaliating doesn't sit right with him.

"Ha? Uncle, what era is this? Are you really pulling this stunt? If I let you in, won't you reveal your beastly nature?"

Seeing the girl giving him a knowing look, Li Qing chuckled: "Come on, it's the new century, and do I really look like a bad guy?"

"Eh, you know someone's face, not their heart."

Li Qing shrugged helplessly: "Fine, sorry for disturbing your rest."

Not wanting to force her, Li Qing respects her wishes, although with the 'Switching Technique,' even with her security door, it is just an illusion.

Yet, Li Qing is a good person.

Seeing Li Qing ready to leave, the girl called out to him.

"Your ears are bleeding?"

Instinctively feeling, Li Qing took a look; surely enough, he hadn't noticed much just now, only realizing now in peace.

"It's not a big deal."

Seeing Li Qing's nonchalant demeanor, the girl pondered before speaking, "Wait a moment."

The girl closed the door, and after the sound of a chain sliding, slowly opened the door.

Holding her phone in her left hand, she glanced at the screen showing an emergency alert button, while her right hand stayed behind, either holding a stun gun or a fruit knife, slightly turning sideways, gesturing with her mouth.

"Come in."

Li Qing didn't enter immediately, asking, "Are you alone at home?"

The girl impatiently replied: "Uncle, are you querying household info before making a move, entering or not!"

Today's girls mature so early!

Marveling internally, Li Qing entered the girl's home.

"You'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

Taking the blanket the girl offered, Li Qing smiled: "My name is Li Qing."

"My name is Li Nianwei."

Li Qing raised an eyebrow: "Did your dad give you this name?"

"Seems like you're quite smart."

Clearly, Li Nianwei is quite dismissive of Li Qing's silly question.

Apparently, many have asked her about her name.

Noticing Li Nianwei hasn't left, Li Qing said: "Thanks."

"Mm, no need."

Seeing Li Nianwei still standing there, watching him, Li Qing pointed at his ear.

"Miss Li Nianwei, since you've let me in, could I have a cloth to wipe the blood?"

"Clean up in the bathroom yourself."

"Alright, I'll temporarily borrow your bathroom; I'll clean it up, don't worry. It's late, you probably have school tomorrow."

"I know."

Upon hearing Li Nianwei's response, Li Qing nodded slightly, went to clean up in the bathroom, and after coming out, saw Li Nianwei hadn't gone back to her room to rest, and said helplessly: "Speak your mind, what do you want to ask?"

Li Qing knew she had some requests, helping naturally deserves gratitude, it's just human nature; Li Nianwei helped him, and he should reciprocate, that's fair.

Without hesitation, Li Nianwei asked.

"How do you capture ghosts, Talisman, Taoist Skill, or Copper Coin Sword?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing Li Nianwei's eager look, Li Qing unhesitatingly poured cold water: "Sorry, you've watched too many movies; those things don't exist."

"Then what do you rely on?"
