Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Who are the "people" who cannot escape?

Were they problematic patients selected by the Special Administration?

Or is he from the Santana Group?

Li Bai didn't know who Yang Ning was referring to. If it was Cao Mingliang, he would probably be rushing to the medical system to conduct an internal investigation by now.

But he was Li Bai, not as straightforward as Cao Mingliang.

He would only express a hint of sympathy for what some people were about to face, and then go about his own business.

Just as Li Bai was carefully carrying the paper lantern to the Golden Eagle Hotel, the expo began the next day.

Because of the public outcry last night, Santa Group employees were surrounded by reporters as soon as they left the Golden Eagle Hotel today.

Upon arriving at the convention center, Lorraine directly addressed the reporters' questions: "Yes, it is with great regret that I inform you that our colleague, Mr. Bowman, passed away last night."

"But this matter has absolutely nothing to do with so-called terrorists."

"We believe that the organizers will ensure our personal safety in the coming days."

Lorraine's three sentences confirm Bowman's death, but do not explain the cause of Bowman's death.

While it may seem like a demonstration of trust in the organizers, it actually sows suspicion.

In just three simple sentences, he demonstrated his linguistic skills as a senior executive of a multinational corporation to the fullest!

Lorraine's words were certainly not meant for the Xia Kingdom's media; he was trying to exert greater pressure on the Central State Official Residence by creating a larger online public opinion campaign.

Sure enough, his words sparked a wave of online criticism targeting China's security environment!

News headlines such as "Security loopholes at the Expo are rampant", "The security situation in Xia Kingdom is extremely bad", and "Supernatural events occur frequently in Xia Kingdom, causing public outrage" are becoming increasingly sensational.

Of course, netizens from China were not to be outdone, and the comment section under every news article became a battlefield where Chinese netizens attacked each other!

What was originally just an ordinary medical expo between the two countries turned into a major battleground where countless netizens from Xia and Tianxiang engaged in online arguments!

The two sides were exchanging insults online, and in real life, Chaoge Xue, who was in charge of security for the expo, was also being criticized.

In a phone call from Yanjing, an elderly man, the head of the Special Administration Bureau's advisory group, cursed at Chao Gexue relentlessly for over ten minutes.

However, Chaoge Xue didn't care at all about the reprimands delivered over the phone.

After a torrent of abuse on the other end of the phone, Chao Gexue, swaying her snow-white tail, rolled her eyes and asked nonchalantly, "Since the team leader is so dissatisfied with my work, why not fire me and replace me with someone else to keep an eye on Yang Ning?"

The old man, who had just been cursing Chaoge Xue for over ten minutes, was speechless on the spot.

Chao Gexue continued, "It's fine with me. I don't need the security consultant allowance. As long as you can find someone willing to replace me, I can hand over the reins anytime."

The elderly man on the other end of the phone stammered, "How can you change people halfway through a mission?"

"Besides, none of the group leaders are going out on fieldwork, and there aren't enough people to allocate immediately..."

Chaoge Xue: "Hmm, it's okay, I can wait. I'll leave the moment you find the person, alright?"

"Well, it'll probably take a week."

Chaoge Xue laughed, "Old man, apologize to me, or I'm quitting right now."

"..."

"Didn't you just say you could wait?!"

"That was just now. Grandma's opinion has changed. An apology?"

"..."

"OK, I quit. Whoever wants to take over Yang Ning can do it."

"Fine, fine! I'm sorry! You're amazing for surviving Qingqiao! Okay?! I'm sorry! Is that enough? If not, I'll say it twice more!"

Hearing the almost frantic voice on the phone, Chao Gexue's beautiful face was filled with comfort.

She said softly, "Okay, that's fine. Hang up now, I'm pretty busy here."

On the phone: "We can't let public opinion continue like this, understand? We need to do something to salvage the situation."

"If all else fails, we can bleed a little, ask him what he needs, and give it to him! But Santa's people can't die anymore! They really can't die anymore! If they do, Xia Country will lose all face!"

Chaoge Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry, things will turn out differently."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the old man on the other end of the phone cautiously probed, "He...he's willing to bring people back to life?"

Chaoge Xue sighed, "Do you think Yang Ning is like you, talking nonsense? He always keeps his promises."

On the phone: "Can you please stop mentioning his name?! Who are you trying to scare? I'm telling you, I, I, I'm not afraid of him!"

Chaoge Xue nodded: "Yes, I believe you. That's all for now, bye!"

......

The second day of the expo ended quickly.

On this day, the Special Administration Bureau strengthened its protection of Santa and his group. Meanwhile, thanks to the presence of the soul healer Zhang Qi, very few people violated the rules of the game during the day.

Only one group of five people was punished.

Just like yesterday, Lorraine was scheduled for an interview before leaving.

At this moment, the netizens of Tianxiang and Xiaguo, who had been cursing about the celestial phenomena all day, all gathered around and watched the live broadcast through various channels.

The reporter immediately asked, "Mr. Lorraine, many netizens are very curious about the cause of your colleague Bowman's death. Could you elaborate?"

Speaking into the microphone, Lorraine said, "I am very sorry for Mr. Bo's death, but the information I have now is only the doctor's preliminary judgment. I may be able to get a more authoritative judgment after I go back tonight."

"Mr. Lorraine, did Mr. Bowman pass away due to heart problems?"

"I suggest you ask the doctor in charge of the examination; I can't say for sure."

"Hmm? Mr. Lorraine, could you please move aside? Your colleague seems to have something to say."

Hearing the reporter's words, Lorraine frowned slightly. Who was so clueless?

He turned around and was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body.

Then there stood his former colleague, Bowman, who had been lying pale on a stretcher, now looking deeply moved as he greeted the reporters, saying, "Hello everyone, hello everyone!"

"I am Bowman! I'm not dead!"

"To be precise, it was the exceptional talent on the organizer's side who pulled me back from hell!"

As the over-sixty-year-old Bowman spoke, he became increasingly emotional and burst into tears on the spot!

"I...I'm so touched!"

"Please rest assured, we are very safe in Xia Kingdom, perfectly safe!"

"In my sixty-plus years of life, this is the first time I've felt so safe, truly..."

"It's so safe!"

Bowman kept repeating those four words: "It's too safe!"

Judging from his tearful expression, all the reporters could tell that this was absolutely the truth!

However, when they saw the living Bowman, netizens from both the Xia Kingdom and the Celestial Phenomenon were dumbfounded!

Damn it, this guy spent the whole day arguing with the enemy, and it all came to nothing?!

In various news live broadcast rooms, a flood of speechless ellipses "..." filled the screen.

"Um, brothers from Xia Kingdom, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"Hey, stop your whining. To be honest, after arguing with you all day, seeing that your people are still alive makes me feel pretty uneasy."

"Wow, I've heard plenty of gossip, but this is the first time I've ever heard of a dead person coming back to life!"

"See? I told you, if this person dies in Zhongzhou, then there's still a chance for things to turn around!"

As public opinion erupted online, the Santa Group employees, who were just boarding the bus to return to their hotel, felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

After successfully overcoming the fear brought on by Bowman's resurrection, they were all filled with despair.

Because they realized that, regardless of life or death, they might have to continue playing this game.

Want to quit?

There was no road at all.

At this moment, they experienced that feeling again—

Before him, flames surged and roared, and he found himself trapped within them, with no place to hide.

On the bus, soul healer Zhang Qi looked at these people with a pale face, and he himself was also filled with despair.

He realized that today's work would be a bit easier, but...

"Ouch!! It hurts, it hurts!!"

The next second, a Santana employee hugged his arms and screamed.

......

Thousands of miles away, in Cang'er City, Yunnan Province.

It rained heavily.

This season is the rainy season in Caiyun.

Cao Mingliang, who was originally going to Qingqiao, had to postpone his departure due to the continuous heavy rain.

There are no highways over Qingqiao, only mountain roads, which are impassable on rainy days.

This is what Lei Ming told him.

At this moment, Cao Mingliang was in the hotel repeatedly watching Lorraine's several public interviews with the media.

He could observe a lot from Lorraine's facial expressions when she spoke.

Ding, ding, ding!

Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.

Upon opening the door, Cao Mingliang discovered that it was an elderly police officer with burn scars on his face.
