Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

The guest who appeared before Yang Ning at this moment was somewhat special.

He could tell at a glance that the person didn't seem like someone who could afford to hire a spirit child.

It was a boy, who looked a few years younger than Yang Ning. He was carrying a schoolbag, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes held an innocent look of naivety.

He stood at the shop entrance, somewhat hesitantly asking the vengeful woman kneeling before him, "Um, how much does a spirit doll for protection cost here?"

The evil woman greeted all other guests with a slight bow, saying, "We offer free red ropes for protection and good fortune here. Please come in."

"free?"

The boy seemed a little uneasy. "Free spirit? I want one that's been blessed."

The shrew pondered for a moment and said, "Well, so far, we haven't received any negative reviews for our products."

"Since it's free, why don't you give it a try?"

The boy nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

He entered the store, and the shrew led him to Yang Ning's desk, gesturing to the carpet: "Please take off your shoes."

The boy said somewhat embarrassedly, "My feet smell."

At this moment, Yang Ning spoke up, "Don't worry, it won't smell bad."

The boy hesitated and said, "You said it yourself, so don't blame me if you get choked by the smell."

Yang Ning nodded: "It's not your fault, take it off!"

The boy had a "I don't believe I can't smother you" look on his face. He took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the carpet.

A gentle breeze swept through, and there was no unpleasant smell in the store.

Yang Ning: "?"

"How is it?"

The boy sniffed, and asked doubtfully, "It doesn't really smell that bad?"

Yang Ning didn't want to discuss this sensitive topic with him. He looked at the boy's backpack and asked, "What's the meaning of you carrying a backpack? Aren't you on summer vacation?"

"In the final year of high school, the school held extra classes, making every second count."

Yang Ning placed the three small red ropes on the table and said, "So you skipped class to come here?"

The boy lowered his head slightly and said, "My parents are taking the train tonight to work in the south. I want to buy them something to keep them safe."

Yang Ning waved his hand and said, "You can't say 'buy' for this; you have to say 'please'."

He pushed three red ropes in front of the boy, saying, "Since you've come all this way, it proves we're destined to meet. Here, take these peace ropes; they're free. Just wear them on your wrist."

"Really free? Thank you! Is it blessed?" The boy picked up the red string and asked, "I don't want it if it's not blessed, it won't work."

Yang Ning nodded: "You can think of it as having been blessed, so it should be quite effective. We haven't received any negative reviews for anything in our store so far."

The boy nodded, looking at Yang Ning who seemed hesitant to speak, before finally asking, "So, can you tell fortunes?"

"Yeah, a tiny bit."

The boy immediately became excited, "Then, then please see if I can get into university next year! If I can, I'll go back and study hard; if I can't, I'll go work with my parents!"

Yang Ning raised her hand and gestured to the boy, "Come a little closer."

The boy bowed forward, and Yang Ning placed his hand on the top of his head. After a moment, Yang Ning saw five different colored halos above the boy's head.

The five-colored halos were all rather dim, which meant that the boy's fortune was average.

The Five Elements refer to five aspects of a person's fortune: career, romance, marriage, wealth, and longevity.

Yang Ning withdrew his hand and said, "You can get into an average university, but getting into a really good one might require you to put in a lot of hard work."

The boy said thoughtfully, "So that means I don't need to work hard? I can get into university anyway?"

Yang Ning: "..."

"Sorry, I misread it. You won't pass the exam."

boy:"???"

Yang Ning continued, "But there's still a sliver of hope, fifty percent, it all depends on how hard you try."

The boy was speechless. He wanted to say something more, but then Yang Ning saw two familiar figures across the pedestrian street from the shop and said to the side, "Tongtong, see the guests out."

"good!"

A pair of red lights suddenly appeared, and the boy's eyes glazed over for a moment. He stood up automatically, put away the red rope, and walked out of the store with his shoes in his hand.

Standing across the street from the door were Li Bai, who had just finished a meeting, and Brother Chen, who had visited Yang Ning's place before.

Brother Chen is the one who came to get the paper lantern when Cao Mingliang died. He is also a Level 2 Special Agent of the Special Administration Bureau and one of the eight Level 2 Special Agents at today's meeting.

At this moment, looking at Yang Ning's small shop across the street, Brother Chen's legs started to tremble again.

Li Bai, who wasn't initially that scared, was slightly disturbed by Chen Ge's emotional state.

"Damn it, that woman with the hairy tail who looked so arrogant, but... but..."

"Her first tactic was to have the two of us beg Yang Ning to let those forty-odd foreigners go?!"

Chen Ge, looking terrified and indignant, said, "If we could get this done, I'd go up there and rip that woman's tail off!"

Meanwhile, Li Bai took a slurp of his milk tea, smacked his lips, and said, "This stuff is actually pretty good. It's a shame I never had any of this when I lived in the mountains for so many years."

Chen turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with extreme resentment, "Why did you report that? Originally..."

Li Bai acted nonchalantly, "It's bound to happen sooner or later, Brother Chen. There's no escaping it!"

"Shall we go? The child inside has come out, shall we go over there?"

As Li Bai spoke, he walked across the street. Behind him, Brother Chen followed with a long face and his legs wobbling.

As Chen Ge passed the child who had just come out of Yang Ning's shop, he almost vomited. "Ugh!"

He said to the boy, "Brother, even a dead man's body doesn't smell as bad as your stinky feet!"

The boy walked straight past as if he hadn't heard anything.

Upon seeing this, Brother Chen shuddered, glancing at Yang Ning in the shop in front of him—he only dared to glance at him briefly—and whispered, "With that one skill of controlling people, the security forces at this expo wouldn't be enough to kill him!"

In the shop.

Li Bai and Chen Ge sat down cross-legged in front of Yang Ning.

Yang Ning didn't put on any pretense in front of these two people.

He reached out, and the gentle little ghost girl Shiwen, covered in shards and icy cold, came over with a tea tray and gently brewed tea for the three of them.

Seeing this, Li Bai and Brother Chen swallowed hard.

Why send the little ghost girl to make tea instead of the evil woman next to her?

Li Bai and Chen Ge both realized that this was Yang Ning's way of putting them in a tough spot!

Common tactics used before negotiations!

But at this moment—

"Don't overthink it, it's just that Shiwen likes to make tea for me, so I asked her to make it."

"You two think you can intimidate me? Don't you even know if you're a good match? Bah!"

Yang Ning spat out a tea leaf and said calmly, "Well, the way I put it might be a bit rough, but that's the gist of it. Figure it out yourself."

The two from the Special Administration Bureau fell silent for a moment. Brother Chen was trembling so much that he seemed to have a motor inside him. It was Li Bai who spoke up: "Master Yang, the main reason we're here today is to discuss something with you."

Yang Ning sipped his tea and said calmly, "Yes, let's discuss it."

Li Bai said cautiously, "Well, after all, they are all foreign guests, and there are more than forty of them, what do you think?"

Yang Ning nodded: "Yes, I think you have a point."

Brother Chen was immediately delighted, "I knew it! Master Yang is a reasonable person!"

Beside him, Li Bai cautiously probed Yang Ning, "You...you mean to say?"

Yang Ning held up two fingers and said, "If you accomplish these two things, then we can discuss it."

Immediately, both Li Bai and Brother Chen showed excitement!

Neither of them expected that there was actually room for negotiation on this matter!
