Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Cang'er City Police Station.

Huang Liting, a police center operator who was supposed to go home after get off work, was suddenly notified by her superiors to go to the conference room.

In the conference room, Huang Liting met with two senior police officers, Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei.

Both of them looked extremely unwell.

Zhang Donglei was holding a phone and repeatedly dialing a number, looking very anxious, but the call wouldn't go through.

"Captain Lei, we've been calling for a while and no one's answering. Why don't we just notify the local police in Zhongzhou and have them give Zhang Wen extra protection?"

Lei Ming put his hands on his hips, frowned, and rolled his eyes. "How are you going to tell the police in Zhongzhou something without any evidence?"

Zhang Donglei paused for a moment, then asked, "Captain Lei, are we currently protecting the daughter of a human trafficker?"

Lei Ming turned to Zhang Donglei and said, word by word, "Old Zhang, until we find valid evidence of Zhang Wen's crimes, she is a law-abiding citizen and falls under our protection."

Seeing Huang Liting approach, Lei Ming turned to her and said, "Hello, I'm Lei Ming, the captain of the criminal investigation team at the municipal bureau. I called you over here mainly to understand some situations."

Huang Liting immediately asked, "Is it the same emergency call we made today?"

Lei Ming nodded and said, "Yes, come and sit down to talk."

As he spoke, Lei Ming took out a file. Huang Liting glanced at it and realized that it was actually her personal file!

Huang Liting asked somewhat uneasily, "Captain Lei, why are you investigating me? Did I do something wrong?"

Lei Ming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you've done nothing wrong, it's just... um, you've been abducted before?"

Huang Liting's face immediately paled, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, I was abducted and sold to Cang'er City when I was very young."

Do you remember the human trafficker who kidnapped you?

"I don't remember, I was very young then."

"When you were abducted, did you encounter any other people your age who were also abducted?"

"Yes, there are many, probably dozens, but I don't remember them all, I only remember a few nicknames."

Tell me about it.

"The ones I remember most vividly are Honghong, who has red hair, Tianyang, and Chengcheng. Chengcheng is the nicest person, but he always cries, so he always gets beaten by human traffickers. There's also Xiaoniu. That's all. I really can't remember the others."

Lei Ming took the notebook, which he had found in the basement of the Mengdongfang villa and was covered in the marks of time. He compared it with the contents of the notebook and found that everything matched up!

At this moment, Zhang Donglei, who was making calls on a landline, turned to Huang Liting and asked, "With your background, how did you pass the political exam for the police station?"

"My adoptive parents treated me very well. They found someone to get me a local household registration. That was more than ten years ago. Back then, household registration management wasn't as strict as it is now. Besides, apart from buying me from human traffickers and breaking the law, my adoptive parents had no other blemishes."

Lei Ming nodded and asked, "Okay, Liting, we're not here to check on you today, so don't be nervous."

Next, Lei Ming explained Zhang Hui's true identity to Huang Liting.

After hearing this, Huang Liting became completely distraught. "That...that human trafficker is dead? He was the one who called me to report it today?"

She seemed to feel cold, reaching out to hug herself, muttering to herself, "No wonder, no wonder he knew my nickname; I was momentarily stunned because of it!"

Lei Ming patted Huang Liting on the shoulder to comfort her and asked, "Um, Liting, the victim's body was cut into forty-seven pieces. It might be a coincidence, but it corresponds to the forty-seven abducted children. Please think back to your past experiences. Have you ever encountered anyone who expressed curiosity about your past abduction experiences?"

"Or rather, has anyone asked you if you'd be willing to seek revenge against the human trafficker who abducted you?"

Huang Liting looked at Lei Ming with fear in her eyes, and slowly nodded. "It didn't happen in reality, but it did happen once in my dream. However, I couldn't see the person's face. I only knew that he was dressed in white and had a very simple-looking white cloth bag slung over his shoulder..."

Zhang Donglei asked, "So, you told that person you're willing to take revenge on the human traffickers?"

At this moment, Huang Liting's face suddenly turned ferocious, and she said sharply, "That human trafficker, I wish I could stab him!"

"Ahem!"

Lei Ming coughed twice and asked, "What was your answer to that person back then?"

Huang Liting's expression returned to normal. "Just like before, that's exactly how I responded to him. His exact words were—"

"I wish I could stab him!"

Lei Ming asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that your adoptive parents treated you very well?"

"It has nothing to do with my adoptive parents. Zhang Hui has a man working for him who is worse than an animal..."

As Huang Liting spoke, her eyes immediately reddened, and she lowered her head, two streams of hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei both understood. Suppressing their anger, Lei Ming lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

Zhang Donglei comforted her, "Liting, this isn't your fault—"

Suddenly, his hand holding the landline receiver trembled violently, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Captain Lei, we got through to Zhang Wen's cell phone!"

"My God, you finally answered the phone!"

......

Zhongzhou.

At 7:59, Yang Ning returned to his shop.

Compared to when he left, the shop has changed dramatically.

The shop, which faces east, is divided into north and south sides, with four neat rows of square shelves on each side.

Between the shelves on both sides, there is a long floor desk with a carpet underneath. A futon is placed on the inner seat, and two futons are placed on the outer guest seat.

Yang Ning glanced at it and nodded, saying, "Not bad."

Suddenly, a burst of cheerful jumping echoed through the empty shop except for him.

After tying the wind chimes to the shop entrance, Yang Ning sat cross-legged on the futon in the main seat. He thought for a moment and said, "Ya Mei, come here."

Across from the desk, a little girl with two pigtails sticking up on her head slowly appeared.

Yang Ning: "Straighten your head!"

The girl did as she was told, but after struggling for a while, she turned her back to Yang Ning and asked in a childish voice, "So, does this mean I'm officially his wife now?"

Yang Ning: "Is this how I've always taught you? How many times have I told you to look people in the eye?"

The girl said pitifully, "Today I just stared at someone, and it seems like I scared them..."

Yang Ning covered his forehead, somewhat helplessly, and said, "You're not allowed to take your head off your own neck again!"

The girl turned her head back and said in a childish voice, "I didn't take it, it fell down by itself."

Yang Ning: "..."

He glanced up at the shop entrance and said, "Alright, go have some fun."

"oh......"

The girl nodded, her body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely.

Yang Ning took out several items from his cloth bag and placed them on the table: two candles, a photograph, a carving knife, a wooden human figure, and several crayons.

Yang Ning lit the candle, picked up the carving knife, and casually chipped off a few wood shavings from the wood carving. A lifelike outline of a human face immediately appeared.

A few minutes later, Zhang Wen, looking haggard, appeared.

As soon as she entered Yang Ning's shop, the wind chimes hanging in the shop began to jingle.

Upon hearing the sound of the wind chimes, Zhang Wen felt slightly better.

After looking around the shop's layout, she exclaimed in surprise to Yang Ning, who was sitting cross-legged behind his desk, "Young Master Yang, you're quite efficient! It's all set up already?"

Yang Ning pointed to the two guest cushions opposite the desk in front of him and said, "Come and sit down."

Zhang Wen stepped forward, took off her shoes by the carpet, and knelt down opposite Yang Ning.

She glanced at the desk and saw a photo covered on it, as well as a doll that Yang Ning was carving.

Before she could speak, Yang Ning said, "The cell phone."

"Um?"

Zhang Wen asked in confusion, "My phone? Mine?"

Yang Ning continued carving the doll with his hands, nodding and saying, "Mm."

Zhang Wen immediately took out a cell phone from her bag, Xiao Naier, without any apparent abnormality.

Yang Ning: "Another one."

Zhang Wen's expression changed slightly. "How did you know I have two cell phones?"

Yang Ning laughed and said, "Because someone keeps calling you."

Zhang Wen was somewhat skeptical. She took out another phone and found that someone was indeed calling her, and there were already dozens of missed calls!

"Hmm? How come I didn't notice it before?"

Yang Ning sculpted the doll, a smile on his face, but said nothing.

Looking at the incoming call, Zhang Wen pressed the answer button. "Feed?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very urgent: "Captain Lei, Zhang Wen's phone is ringing!"

"My God, you finally answered the phone!"

"Who are you?"

"This is the Cang'er Police Department. My name is Zhang Donglei. I'm calling to remind you of something very important!"

"W-What is it?"

"Stay away from a man named Yang Ning. He's extremely dangerous! Remember that, extremely dangerous!"

"Stay away from him!"

"Stay away from him!"

"Stay away from him!"

Zhang Wen was startled when she saw Yang Ning in front of her. Clang!

Her hand trembled, and her phone fell onto the table between her and Yang Ning!

Meanwhile, the urgent voice on the phone continued to ring out—

"He knows everything your father Zhang Hui has done. Now your whole family is dead, and you're the only one left!"
