Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Ruan Kaiyuan thought Yang Ning would be in the car.

But when he got closer, he found the car was empty, and...

drop!

This rickety car, leaking from all eight sides, is still making noise.

This startled Ruan Kai!

He limped aside with a start, dragging his lame leg, and took out the soul plate, only to be utterly astonished to discover—

"Damn, are cars haunted now?!"

As if in response to Ruan Kai's words, the black hearse shook its body and beeped three times in a row.

Not seeing Yang Ning, Ruan Kai was unsure whether he should get on the bus.

click!

The car doors opened automatically.

At the same time, Yang Ning's voice rang in Ruan Kai's ears: "Get in the car! Stop dawdling. Two silver corpses have made things so difficult for you. It's shameful!"

Hearing that incredibly familiar voice, Ruan Kai didn't hesitate at all and quickly climbed into the black hearse.

After thinking for a moment, he crawled to the side, avoiding the seat that Yang Ning had previously sat in.

"drop!"

With a siren, the black hearse closed its doors and drove off into the downpour.

Looking at the automatically turning steering wheel and the automatically pressing accelerator, Ruan Kai in the car didn't dare to say a word.

He had just defeated the Silver Corpse, and now he had no idea that he would be so easily defeated by this hearse.

There were hardly any cars on the road at night due to the heavy rain. The black hearse gradually accelerated and soon left Leyu County.

Looking at the dwindling number of buildings and the gradually appearing farmland in the night, Ruan Kai asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

Kaka-

The car radio blared: "On the beautiful shores of Chenhu Lake lies a tranquil town, named after the lake. Chenhu Town may seem ordinary, but it is actually the largest coffin wholesale market in southern Hunan."

The broadcast only played that one sentence before stopping.

This is likely a segment from a radio news broadcast, which is now being used by the hearse to answer Ruan Kai's questions.

Ruan Kai: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Kai still couldn't suppress his doubts: "That thing... can it be sold wholesale?"

"Who is the buyer?"

The vehicle's radio broadcast: "Chenhu Town's coffins are renowned far and wide, with buyers all over the world. This small town can generate hundreds of millions, or even tens of millions, of economic benefits every year just from coffins."

Ruan Kai: "..."

Ruan Kai was no longer interested in Chenhu Town; he stared at the broadcast in the hearse for a long time.

As if guided by some strange force, he suddenly asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

A melodious background music played from the car radio: "Hello everyone! Welcome to this episode of 'Approaching Science'!"

Ruan Kai nodded and muttered to himself, "Hmm, science, science..."

......

About ten kilometers southeast of Leyu County, Chenhu Lake sits quietly in this place.

For Leyu County, Chenhu Lake holds a special sentimental value.

Since ancient times, people from this county have been buried in Chenhu Lake after they die.

Therefore, the people of Leyu County also regard Chenhu Lake as their closest lake.

But even Zhiqin Lake is still a lake, and as such, it inevitably attracts a certain group of people: anglers.

Even on a rainy day like this, even in the early hours of the morning.

Several brightly lit fish floated on the lake surface as the rain poured down. Three or five anglers sat on makeshift fishing platforms they had built themselves on the shore, yawning and watching their fishing rods.

They were either holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats, standing tens to hundreds of meters apart, not speaking to each other, focused only on fishing.

So even with these anglers around, the lakeside was very quiet during the downpour, except for the sound of raindrops hitting the lake surface.

But this tranquility was soon broken.

Whoosh!

The sound of ripples on the water was barely noticeable on the lake's surface, but the next second—

"ah!!"

A fisherman let out a sharp scream, attracting the attention of several other fishermen nearby.

Someone laughed and said, "What's wrong, Lao Zhou? Did you run into a snake?"

"I guess it's because a fisherman is afraid of snakes? I'm speechless..."

"Don't even mention it, I'd be content to see even a snake! I'm afraid I'll be firing nothing all night!"

"Empty shot" means not catching a single fish.

For anglers, missing a shot is a great disgrace.

Upon hearing that someone was going to fire a shot without firing, the attention of several fishermen was immediately drawn to it.

The group chatted amongst themselves from a distance, completely forgetting the fisherman who had just let out a scream.

But soon, "Ah, ah!!"

Two screams rang out in quick succession; it was the same fisherman from before!

"What's going on?!"

"Even a snake wouldn't need to react this strongly, would it?"

"Old Zhou! What's going on? Speak up!"

There was no response.

The anglers immediately realized something was wrong, put down their fishing rods, and went to see what was going on.

Several fishermen walked over and found that the fisherman named "Old Zhou" was slumped in the shallow water by the lake, staring straight at the water in front of him, looking extremely frightened!

From a distance, the other fishermen couldn't clearly see what Lao Zhou was seeing.

Someone stepped forward and tried to grab Lao Zhou's arm.

Before the arm could even be grabbed, the person first saw the lake water in front of them—

A deathly pale face was submerged beneath the surface of the water.

The man was startled at first, then laughed and said, "Hey, what do we have here?"

"Old Zhou, this is Dust Lake. I guess someone didn't put the wooden stakes in properly, which caused the big one to float to the surface."

"Da Zhe" is a local honorific for deceased relatives.

As the man pulled Old Zhou towards the shore, he said, "You're scared of this?"

"Look at your cowardice! You coward!"

He turned to the other fishermen behind him, "Come lend a hand! Old Zhou is too heavy! You guys—"

"What are you looking at?"

The fisherman who was pulling Lao Zhou suddenly noticed that the other fishermen who had come with him to help Lao Zhou were all standing there, pale-faced and trembling!

He immediately laughed, "Look at all you cowards! What, haven't you ever seen a dead body floating up from a lake before?"

"I saw it when I was five years old!"

A fisherman swallowed hard, stammering, "Then you, you, you..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean?!' Come and help!"

The fisherman was having some trouble pulling the person, after all, he was pulling a living person weighing one or two hundred pounds.

But then, the person in front of him said something that sent a chill down his spine: "Have you ever seen a dead person that can move?"

Whoosh!

The person pulling him didn't hold on tight enough and threw Lao Zhou back into the water.

At the same time, "Ah, ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out from Old Zhou once again.

"Dead man! Dead man! That dead man is moving! Moving!"

"So many dead people!"

The fisherman who was pulling the person back looked back into the lake!

One after another, dead faces rose from the bottom of the lake, floating on the surface, and then...

The dead bodies slowly walked towards the shore.

The number of dead was very large, extremely large.

At first glance, the lake surface during the downpour was covered with countless dead faces!

At that moment, a local saying from Chenhu suddenly echoed in the minds of all the anglers—

There are more dead people in Dust Lake than living people.

The previous "Dust Lake" refers to this lake.

The second Dust Lake refers to this area.
