Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Chen Tao is ready.

He also made a point of observing the distance between his colleague and the ground.

He's a police officer, after all, and he's young. He probably won't be seriously injured if he falls from that height.

So Chen Tao wasn't in a hurry and leisurely stood there waiting.

But after waiting for a while, he found that his young police officer colleague was like a gecko, clinging to the wall without moving.

Chen Tao gradually realized that something was wrong.

He wanted to go forward and see what was going on, but then he saw the two sentences Yang Ning had left for him on the ground, and hesitated for a moment.

Just then, right before Chen Tao's eyes, the words in the snow changed.

"Pull your ears and stay away from walls, and you'll be fine."

Chen Tao: "..."

Clearing his slightly hoarse throat, Chen Tao said to Xue, "Thank you."

On the snow—

"You're welcome."

A snowflake landed on Chen Tao's neck, and he suddenly shivered.

He tore two wads of paper and stuffed them tightly into his ears. Following the tracks left by the truck that had driven by, Chen Tao quietly approached the brickyard.

Even with his ears plugged, Chen Tao could still hear the shouts coming from inside the factory when he was close enough.

Because the sound coming from inside the courtyard was indeed very loud.

"I refuse to believe your luck will be this good tonight! I'm betting!"

Click!

"Haha, Mr. Sun, you're so generous! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Click!

"This actually works? Did you invite the God of Wealth tonight? Here you go!"

Pfft!

Judging from the sounds, the people inside seem to be playing different things, but everyone sounds really into it.

In the gaps between these people's conversations, Chen Tao could always hear some sounds that sent chills down his spine.

Soon, Chen Tao walked to the corner of the wall and whispered to his colleague who was leaning against it, "Liu Cong? Liu Cong!"

Liu Cong ignored him.

Chen Tao stepped forward and carefully observed his young colleague from the side. He found that the young man's hands and face were already purple from the cold, and he was shivering as if he were clinging to the wall.

What surprised Chen Tao the most was his eyes, a look that Chen Tao found somewhat familiar.

At some murder scenes, many eyewitnesses have this kind of look in their eyes.

But Liu Cong is different. He is a criminal investigation officer, not an ordinary police officer. If it were just a simple murder case, he shouldn't have such an expression.

Chen Tao looked around, moved a stone, stepped on it, and carefully helped Liu Cong down.

During this process, Chen Tao could feel that his colleague's stomach was like it had a motor inside him, and his whole body was trembling violently.

Carrying his colleague back to the car, Chen Tao removed the crumpled paper from his ear and finally heard Liu Cong muttering under his breath, "I...I...I...I..."

Seeing that Liu Cong looked like he was about to freeze, Chen Tao immediately turned the car heater to the maximum and put his own clothes on him, but even so, it still didn't work.

"I...I...I...I..."

Chen Tao lit a cigarette for Liu Cong, but he couldn't hold it; he simply couldn't hold it.

He could only silently take the cigarette back and smoke it himself, then make a phone call to the bureau.

"Xiao Wu, tell everyone that it's past 1 a.m., so there's no need to work overtime tonight. Everyone should go home and get some rest, and we'll all gather at the office as soon as it gets light."

"Hmm, five o'clock, I guess."

"Really? Everyone says they don't need to rest? They'll have to stay up all night at work? Hmm, having colleagues like you is really my luck, Chen Tao."

"Love you guys! I'll take Liu Cong back first. What do you want to eat? I'll bring you some late-night snacks!"

"Don't be shy—"

Hearing the busy tone of the call ending on his phone, Chen Tao frowned and muttered to himself, "Why does it feel like there's a hint of resentment in that tone?"

He put down his phone, started the police car, and drove away.

......

The next morning, the snow that had fallen all night finally stopped.

In fact, it had been less than five hours since Chen Tao left the brick kiln.

Several police cars, along with special police vehicles, roared through the snow and arrived at the gate of the brick kiln.

Chen Tao spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Special police officers, let me warn you, the scene inside might be a bit gruesome, so be prepared!"

"Come on, Captain Chen! We've seen it all in this line of work!"

After Chen Tao was contacted, the SWAT team leader gave the order, "Go!"

Immediately, experienced SWAT officers, armed with batters and winches, easily broke down the dilapidated gate of the pharmaceutical factory, and the SWAT officers behind them, holding riot shields, rushed in!

"Don't move! Hands—"

The lead SWAT officer abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

He looked at the scene before him and immediately took a deep breath.

He wasn't the only one; another SWAT officer next to him with a riot shield also had a very strange change in expression. First, he was stunned, then he froze, and then his eyeballs gradually bulged out...

Clang!

The riot shield in the SWAT officer's hand fell to the ground.

"vomit!!"

The sound of vomiting seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and several of the special police officers who rushed into the brickyard couldn't hold back on the spot.

Having anticipated this, Chen Tao covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, carefully stepped forward, and cast his gaze over the special police officers in front of him into the courtyard of the brick kiln.

In the spacious courtyard of the brick kiln, about a dozen or so rectangular gambling tables were set up in the open space between two brick-producing workshops.

On the table were various chips frozen into ice cubes, and a sharp knife covered in red frost.

There were also severed limbs, broken bones, whole internal organs, and even things that looked like tendons...

Dark red icicles extended from the gambling table to the ground, forming a small pool of blood-red ice.

What's most shocking isn't these things, but the people sitting next to the gambling tables.

There were over a dozen gambling tables, filled with hundreds of people. These people were frozen solid like ice sculptures, some of them holding knives, excitedly preparing to take something from themselves.

Some handed over the parts they had just removed from their bodies with disgust, while the recipients looked on with greed and delight, completely unaware that they too had been disemboweled...

Chen Tao suppressed his discomfort and looked around. He couldn't find a single person who was intact.

"Search, search..."

Chen Tao barely managed to say those words before quickly finding a well-ventilated spot, taking off his handkerchief, and breathing in the fresh air.

He finally understood what the sounds were in the conversations he overheard last night.

Actually, he had guessed it before, but he didn't dare to believe it at the time.

"So, these people were using their own body parts to gamble..."

After sighing, Chen Tao's mind drifted to Yang Ning's refined appearance in his white robes—

"Young Master Yang, your methods are truly ruthless!"

"He's ruthless!"
