Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Even ordinary members of the Special Administration Bureau, such as those under Cao Mingliang, are outstanding individuals with excellent overall qualities.

But this is still within the scope of ordinary people.

Even without talent, many people can meet the requirements of the Special Administration through hard training.

However, those at the third level of special operations need to have extraordinary talent in certain areas.

To become a Level 2 Special Agent, one not only needs extraordinary talent, but also requires opportunities and personal effort, especially the nurturing from elders from a young age.

In fact, a Level 3 Special Agent could be described as a "chosen one," so it's not an exaggeration for Yang Ning to use this term to describe Li Bai at this time.

Looking at the text on the photo, Li Bai casually put the photo away, looked at Cao Mingliang, and asked, "You're just admitting defeat like that?"

Cao Mingliang touched the handprint on his face and slowly shook his head: "It's pointless now. The person I'm looking for doesn't want to see me..."

Then, Cao Mingliang changed the subject, "But I won't admit defeat!"

He looked at Li Bai and said, "You are better than me in every way. You go and confront him directly to stop him from committing further atrocities. I'll investigate from behind the scenes!"

"Investigate his teacher, what he learned, and why he's so skilled!"

"We'll divide the work! One will be in the open, the other in the shadows! We'll look after each other!"

Li Bai hesitated before saying, "I really want to test my skills against a master. Ever since I can remember, I've been assigned by the Special Administration Bureau to guard this Taoist temple on the mountain. I've been lonely for far too long!"

"But now that the spirit is gone, I need to go back to the station to report it."

Cao Mingliang immediately shook his head and said, "No need! I'll just pass on the message for you!"

"I've been handling this case anyway, and if you're willing, you can take over right now! Our department always values ​​efficiency!"

Seeing Cao Mingliang's very sincere tone, Li Bai frowned even more deeply. "Logically speaking, with such a formidable target, shouldn't the bureau have sent someone as lowly as a Level 3 Special Agent like you?"

"Where are the others? What are the top-level agents doing? Why was this case assigned to you alone?"

Cao Mingliang raised his head slightly and said with great pride, "Because the bureau values ​​me!"

"So, not long after I joined, the department gave me a very challenging case! Anyone could do a simple ghost-catching or dealing with a zombie apocalypse, but how would that highlight my abilities?"

Li Bai retorted without hesitation, "You're talking nonsense! Are you trying to fool me like a donkey?!"

"Just by looking at you, I can tell you're a complete idiot! And you call that taking you seriously?"

"If you can get the bureau's attention, then I can become the chief!"

Cao Mingliang: "..."

Cao Mingliang was surprised that Li Bai would speak so directly, and the atmosphere between the two became awkward.

"Brother, your name is Li Bai, for goodness' sake! Can't you at least speak a little bit more politely?"

"Refined my foot!"

Li Bai pointed down the mountain and said, "There's a man named Li Qing at the Qingyun Temple across the street! He's not blind, is he?"

Qingyun Temple, Li Qing.

Baiyun Temple, Li Bai.

Cao Mingliang nodded, "Yes, it has to be the seniors in the Taoist temple, they are so casual in naming their children."

......

Two hours later, inside Baiyun Temple.

In the past two hours, Cao Mingliang wrote down all the information he had obtained about Yang Ning and handed it to Li Bai.

He also gave Li Bai the contact information for his own team.

The two packed their things and prepared to go down the mountain together.

After leaving the Taoist temple, Li Bai knelt and kowtowed several times before the closed gate of Baiyun Temple. Cao Mingliang asked, "That woman when I first came here?"

"That's my aunt, she won't leave here."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for letting your wife stay with my aunt!"

Cao Mingliang: "..."

Li Bai stood up, walked to the opposite side of the bluestone steps, and shouted towards the Qingyun Temple across the way, "I'm going down the mountain! Are you coming too?!"

Li Bai was met with the sound of an erhu being played, which sounded somewhat melancholic.

Li Bai shouted, "Leave the erhu to your father! Can't you make it a little more cheerful for me?! Who knows when we'll see each other again!"

The erhu music stopped, and was replaced by a melodious piano tune.

Li Bai laughed heartily, "Yes! I still prefer your style! Let's go!"

After they finished speaking, the two of them walked down the mountain. They were initially having a happy time, but as they passed the blood-stained path left by the people of Qianzhi Village, their faces gradually turned increasingly pale.

Cao Mingliang added a friendly reminder: "Brother Li Bai, from now on you'll be facing off against the person who created this horrific scene. Exciting, isn't it?"

Actually, this is nothing.

When the two walked through the mountains and forests and arrived at the former site of Qianzhi Village, Li Bai was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!

He covered his mouth with both hands, trembling all over, shaking his head incessantly, and taking repeated steps backward!

Cao Mingliang couldn't understand him at all. Wasn't it just a platform in the mountains in front of him?

Although nothing grows there and it's completely bare, it looks rather out of place among these mountains, but is there any reason to be so afraid?

Seeing Cao Mingliang's puzzled look, Li Bai let out a long breath and asked, "You...can't you sense any traces of human presence here?"

Cao Mingliang shook his head: "I can't feel it."

Li Bai gave a very helpless smile. "He's right, you're a complete novice! Let me tell you, yesterday, this was still a village!"

"Now, this place has been leveled."

Cao Mingliang didn't react immediately. "W-what do you mean?"

Li Bai didn't speak; he was adjusting his breathing.

Two seconds later, Cao Mingliang finally understood—

"Holy crap?! You mean... him... him! He razed that Chizuru Village to the ground?!"

"Raze it to the ground?!"

Li Bai nodded slowly, "Yes, he completely wiped out this mountain village, leaving not a trace."

His voice trembled: "I used to only see people in TV dramas talking about razing places to the ground, and now, damn it, I've actually seen it with my own eyes..."

Even though Cao Mingliang already knew how powerful Yang Ning was, he still trembled all over once again.

Because he discovered that whenever he thought he knew how powerful Yang Ning was, in reality, Yang Ning was always even more powerful than he thought.

At this moment, from the direction down the mountain, the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple, who had attacked Cao Mingliang before, led several police officers up the mountain.

Standing on that bare platform, the Taoist priest, trembling, said to the police officers behind him, "Gentlemen, look..."

"This is the place you've been looking for, cough, Chizunao Village."

The officers were stunned when they heard this.

A technician took out a tablet, pulled up a screenshot of a satellite view, and said to the Taoist priest, "How is that possible? We're going to a village!"

"Look, this satellite image clearly shows it's just a mountain village—"

The police officer stopped midway through his sentence because he realized, by comparing the surrounding mountains, that he was standing right in front of the village entrance shown on the satellite view!

However, the place shown on the satellite view was a small mountain village, while the place where he was was a flat area in the mountains.

The technicians exclaimed in disbelief, "That's impossible! These images were taken by satellite this morning. Could it be that an earthquake this morning altered the landscape? But that doesn't make sense either..."

The only person present who could answer the technician's questions was the Taoist priest.

However, at this moment, the Taoist priest stared at the white-clad figure slowly descending the mountain, his eyes filled with tears, and dared not utter a single word.
