Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

For a moment, Li Bai looked at the people on the screen in front of him and felt that their necks seemed a bit weak.

Those heads, of different skin colors, all hanging around the necks, seemed to be teetering on the brink of collapse, as if they might fall off at any moment.

Seeing Li Bai's look, the black woman on the screen frowned and asked, "My fellow traveler from Xia, what does that look mean?"

Li Bai leaned back in his chair, head held high, chest puffed out, legs crossed, and said, "I didn't mean anything, but what do you mean?"

"You yourselves said they're evil spirits! If they're evil spirits, it's perfectly normal for them to kill dozens of people!"

The monk, his face contorted with anger, said, "But this evil spirit is driven by humans! There are treacherous villains from your Xia Kingdom deliberately unleashing this ghost to kill people!"

Upon hearing the monk utter the words "murderous thief," Li Bai felt a chill run down his spine.

Good heavens, you call someone who doesn't even dare to mention their own name a "murderer"?!

I really don't know how to write the word "death"!

Besides this, Li Bai also discovered that he actually felt a little proud. What was going on?!

"Cough, cough!"

After clearing his throat twice, Li Bai composed himself and asked the people in the video, "Do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

The other three people in the video were startled at the same time; the white man and the black woman both looked at the monk on their screens.

The monk, already visibly angry, seemed even more enraged by Li Bai's outburst, and shouted, "Friend of Xia Kingdom, do you believe our Heavenly Oracle Monk's predictions are wrong?!"

Li Bai asked in confusion, "W-what holy monk?"

The monk angrily retorted, "Holy Monk Tianyu! One of the Seven Holy Monks of my Heavenly Elephant Buddhist Kingdom! He's on par with the First-Class Special Operations Team Leader of your Xia Kingdom's Special Administration Bureau!"

Li Bai looked enlightened. He stroked his chin and pondered, "Well, the head of our Xia Kingdom's First-Class Special Operations Oracle Team said that your Heavenly Glory Monk's deduction is wrong."

This time, the monk asked in confusion, "What group leader?"

Not only was the monk puzzled, but even Chaoge Xue, who was slurping her milk tea, turned around and looked at Li Bai with a surprised expression.

There's no such person in the Special Administration Bureau.

No, not at all!

Li Bai calmly said, "Let your holy monk go back and re-deduce. Our oracle group leader said his deduction was incorrect."

"Once you've found the right suspect, we'll discuss how to handle this."

"Wait, wait!"

The white man in the video raised his hand and said, "Um, my colleague from Xia Country, I've never heard of you having an Oracle Group Leader?"

Li Bai coldly replied, "You're the one who's ignorant and ill-informed, so why are you coming to me asking why?"

The white man retorted angrily, "There are only so many people in this line of work. The Seven Holy Monks of Celestial Phenomena, your Sixth Team Leader—anyone with a bit of ability knows who they are!"

Li Bai gave a cold laugh. "Is that so? Then let me ask you, do you know who that person was who manipulated the evil spirits to kill more than forty of their celestial beings?"

The white man was speechless.

Did he know? No, he didn't.

Before attending this video conference, he had tried to find out the specific details of the matter.

But the people he asked were basically clueless.

Only the knight commander who gave him the mission offered a subtle reminder: follow the plan and don't be reckless.

At this point, the black woman in the video stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Everyone, please don't argue. My fellow astrologers, why don't you let the Celestial Oracle Monk redo the calculations?"

The monk from the Heavenly Phenomenon Temple sneered, "Hmph, I, Senior Tianyu, foresaw that the Xia people would show this kind of face; he was prepared for it!"

After saying this, the monk unfolded a piece of white paper in front of the video camera and placed a small piece of charcoal on it.

Then he put his hands together and looked up to pray.

A few seconds later, the charcoal on the white paper started moving on its own!

A lifelike sketch appeared vividly before everyone!

The painting depicts a boy with an extraordinary air, holding the hand of a bald little devil, with flames standing beside him. Upon closer inspection, a woman can be seen within the flames.

Behind the boy, there were a dozen or so other kids!

Upon seeing the outline of this scene, Li Bai was suddenly startled!

This is definitely that one!

This celestial phenomenon suggests that the holy monk who bestowed the divine message is not merely famous for nothing!

But then, Li Bai saw the black charcoal drawing stroke by stroke on the boy's back.

His face wasn't shown at all.

Soon, the painting was finished. The last place to sign it was a simple sketch of a monk with his hands clasped together and his head raised in prayer, along with the words: Celestial Phenomenon, Divine Decree.

In the video, the monk sneered at Li Bai, saying, "Friend of Xia Kingdom, with the capabilities of your Special Administration Bureau, finding someone in Xia Kingdom who fits these characteristics shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Li Bai remained silent for a long while, then quietly said, "Does your holy monk dare to draw this person's face?"

"If you dare to draw it, we'll arrest you immediately, and we mean it!"

This time, the monk from the Heavenly Elephant Temple fell silent.

In fact, he had raised questions when he saw the first divination by the Holy Monk of the Heavenly Decree.

However, the holy monk sitting on the edge of the cliff in the raging wind only glanced at the cliff in front of him and ignored him.

Hearing Li Bai's words, the monk thought: Perhaps I can communicate with the holy monk again?

He said to the camera, "Please wait a moment! I'll go and speak with Senior Tianyu right away!"

As he spoke, the video feed of the monk changed.

It turns out that the monk was participating in the video conference via his mobile phone in the mountains, so when he got up to leave, he was essentially broadcasting his own view to the other participants.

The other three people in the video conference room fell silent as they watched the celestial monk sitting atop the cliff in the video.

"Slurp!"

Beside Li Bai, Chao Gexue, who had been drinking milk tea the whole time, also stood up.

The white man on the other side of the video saw Chaoge Xue and his eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.

He, along with the black woman and Li Bai, were all watching closely to see what was about to happen to the Celestial Monk.

Soon after, a voice came from the Celestial Monk's side: "Senior Tianyu—"

"Huh? Ahhh!!!"

The monk had barely begun speaking when the scene on the video changed rapidly.

A blurry mountain wall was rising rapidly.

Obviously, the mountain wall didn't rise on its own; it was the props used for filming that were falling rapidly.

Not long after, the screen went blank and the signal started to malfunction.

Snapped!

About a minute later, the communication signal from the Celestial Monk's side was completely cut off.

In the video conference room, the remaining three people looked at each other, speechless.

After a long silence, the black woman murmured, "This...this was thrown off the cliff by that Heavenly Oracle Monk?"

The white man's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Li Bai muttered to himself, "Sigh, I've gotten him into trouble, I feel really bad about it."

The other two: "..."

Just as everyone fell silent, the signal from the celestial phenomenon reconnected, and a younger monk appeared on the other end, saying to the camera, "Excuse me, everyone!"

"My senior brother Al just accidentally fell off a cliff, and it may take him a while to climb back up."

"Shall we adjourn the meeting here for today?"

The other three chimed in, "Okay, okay!"

Then they all logged off.

......

Heavenly Buddhist Kingdom.

Top of an unnamed cliff.

The holy monk of the Heavenly Oracle, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff, was trembling all over.

Just now, the celestial monk named Al did indeed fall off the cliff less than a meter away from him.

However, it wasn't him who did the dirty work.

Trembling all over, the Holy Monk Tianyu looked down at the ground beside him.

There, crimson blood formed a tiny ghost face, slowly revealing a smile at him.

Yes, that blood-stained ghost face is moving.

......

In the central region of the Xia Kingdom, on the road to Yundu.

Playing with the flickering flames on his precious soul lamp, Yang Ning said with displeasure, "Who are you calling a villain?"

"You're the real thief!"

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. To speak ill of me like this, it's only because I'm kind that I haven't killed you!"

"And you call me a murderer?"

"Oh!"

......

Early the next morning.

One of the Seven Holy Monks of the Celestial Buddhist Kingdom, the Celestial Edict Holy Monk announced that he would go into seclusion to study Buddhism and would not concern himself with external affairs for ten years.

Those familiar with the situation felt a mix of emotions.

This is hardly a retreat for Buddhist practice!

This is clearly a case where, before the real battle has even begun, one of the Seven Holy Monks of the Celestial Phenomenon has already been defeated!

In an instant, countless eyes, both overt and covert, converged on the Central Plains of Xia Kingdom!

It all converges on that boy who was dozing off in a small shop on the bustling pedestrian street!
