Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

It started snowing again on the pedestrian street, with the cold wind howling and blowing snowflakes.

The Lingwa store remains as warm as ever.

Only the wind chimes on the door were tinkling softly.

Inside the store, you could hear the sound of howling wind, which was created by the small mechanical sphere floating behind the doctor.

After the doctor said, "That's when the problem arose," he considered his statement complete.

The little ball turned around and looked at the world outside the shop. It felt that its life was completely over.

Seeing that the doctor was silent, Yang Ning took a sip of tea and gestured for the doctor to moisten his throat.

After the doctor finished his tea, Yang Ning said, "Doctor, it will probably be a long time before I and my civilization develop into incurable cells."

"Very long." The doctor nodded in agreement. "So long that I can completely ignore it, since I'll probably be dust by then."

The doctor's expression became complicated. "But, Chengcheng, if we compare that huge ecosystem to a person, what would that person do if they discovered they had a potential terminal illness?"

"Any normal person would immediately try to eliminate this potential terminal illness factor."

Yang Ning sniffed. "So, has this person discovered the cell in his body that could be the cause of his terminal illness?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "No."

Then he pointed to himself, "However, the immune system in this person has detected the abnormality."

"As an advanced intelligent civilization that can exist stably and continuously within an ecosystem according to a fixed cycle of old and new, we have a responsibility to clear away those potentially dangerous cells from this great living space."

"So, Chengcheng can think of us as the immune system of the ecosystem that I just compared to 'humans'."

"Now, the immune system has been identified as having potential dangers."

"Of course, this anomaly was discovered very by chance."

The doctor pointed to the evil rabbit on the wall, "Originally, I thought it was just a small germ, but I didn't expect it to be a... well, Orange's description was very apt, a terminally ill cell."

Yang Ning thought for a moment, blinked, and said, "I think I understand what the doctor means. So, what does the doctor want me to do?"

After saying that, he looked at his Spirit Doll Shop in front of him and joked, "I never thought that my little Spirit Doll Shop would one day be able to discuss the future of the entire Earth-Moon Civilization."

The doctor took a deep breath and looked down at the table again.

This time, he took a little longer to think.

His gaze lingered on the pen as it rolled back and forth slightly for a long time. Suddenly, the professor felt that the pen was somewhat like an intelligent person, leisurely swaying itself.

He shook his head vigorously and closed his eyes.

A few minutes later.

During this process, the doctor's eyelids would twitch every now and then.

Opening his eyes again, the doctor looked at Yang Ning and said, "I was just thinking about His Holiness the Pope's methods, Chengcheng..."

"I have no other requests, I just hope that you..."

"If I lose the second bet, then I'd like to accept my defeat, okay?"

Yang Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. "Does the doctor think I'll lose?"

The doctor smiled, pointed to the floor, and said, "I don't think this civilization is worthy of your trust."

"Just like I said before, there's nothing wrong with this civilization, and there's nothing wrong with you, but when you come together, there's a big problem."

"If I had to choose, even if you weren't as strong as you are now, even if you were just an ordinary life form, between you and this civilization, I would definitely choose to destroy this civilization, not you."

Yang Ning: "Oh? Why?"

The doctor's smile remained, but his voice softened considerably: "Because you are Chengcheng."

"Chengcheng is not wrong; the world around Chengcheng is wrong."

"Chengcheng is so kind, I don't want to see him suffer even the slightest harm."

Yang Ning remained silent.

The doctor paused for a moment, then extended his hand to him. "Chengcheng, I really don't need you to do anything."

"As long as you keep the oath you made with the gods, honor your promise, and accept the consequences of your gamble, okay?"

Yang Ning remained silent.

A flicker of panic crossed the doctor's eyes. "Chengcheng, t-say something!"

Yang Ning raised her hand, which was wrapped in gauze, but did not shake hands with the doctor.

"Chengcheng, are you hesitating?"

The doctor shook his head, his face filled with intense worry and fear, his eyes reddening. "Chengcheng, it's not worth it, it's not worth it! This world isn't worth it!"

"Think about the kids around you, what did they do wrong?"

"Think about yourself, what did you do wrong? Why do you have to go through this suffering? Let's just leave it at that, Chengcheng, we're honored to accept the consequences, okay?"

"Let the world go where it belongs, okay?"

Yang Ning slowly took a sip of tea, placed her hand beside the doctor's, and asked with a smile, "Doctor, what are you afraid of?"

The doctor turned his head away, tears rolling down his cheeks. "I'm afraid you'll be reduced to ashes."

"I just said, I'd rather this world perish than see you suffer even the slightest harm. This world..."

"I'm not good enough for you."

As he spoke, tears streamed down the doctor's face.

Seeing this, Yang Ning handed him a few tissues with her other hand, then hooked her little finger, which was wrapped in gauze, around the doctor's finger, "Doctor..."

"Is it possible, just what if, I win?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "It's impossible. You can't win. I understand the Pope's methods. I know what he's going to do. Even if I told you his methods directly, you still couldn't win."

"Because this is a matter of humanity."

The doctor's voice gradually took on a hint of disgust: "Chengcheng, you can kill everyone in this world, but you can't change the baseness ingrained in the bones of humanity."

"And you, of all people, choose to believe in humanity."

"So, you absolutely cannot win."

He lowered his head again, panting heavily, and said, "I've seen too many chaotic civilizations, but I've never hated a civilization as much as I do now."

"I can't wait to—"

Yang Ning's bandaged hand finally clasped the doctor's hand, and his voice still sounded as calm and serene as ever.

"Doctor, I mean, what if I win?"

The doctor was startled; this time, he understood what Yang Ning meant.

What if, instead of me, it's me who vanishes into thin air?

A helpless smile appeared on the doctor's tear-streaked face. "I knew it... I knew it..."

"But, Chengcheng, if that's the case, then..."

Yang Ning picked up where he left off, saying, "Terminal disease cells? It seems there's no cure..."

......

Snowflakes were falling heavily on the pedestrian street, and the whole world was covered in a blanket of white.

Inside the Lingwa shop, the doctor burst into tears.

"Chengcheng, do you really have to do this?"

"You once said that a person has to bear the responsibilities of their life, and I also have my own responsibilities in this life, but unfortunately..."

"Chengcheng, since that's the case, then..."

"Let's start the war."

The doctor stood up, took two steps back, and showed Yang Ning a gold emblem engraved with irregular symbols.

"I, Dr. Yang Chen of the Star River Alliance, in my capacity as the Commander-in-Chief of the Star River Alliance Allied Forces, the Chief Deacon of the Alliance, and the Alliance's Security Whistleblower, hereby declare that the dimensional coordinates of the Star River System—**,**,**—have undergone abnormal evolution, revealing the early-stage technological civilization, the Earth-Moon Civilization..."

"death penalty."

......

Behind the doctor.

"Doctor, I admit, you do look incredibly handsome right now, but do you really have to do this in front of him?"

The small mechanical ball trembled.

......

After sitting at the desk on the floor, Yang Ning stood up and softly replied to the professor, "Professor, I'm sorry."

"To meet you in this way."

"Everyone has their own responsibilities in life. I'm sorry, but I also have my own things to do."

"As for whether it will become a terminal illness cell in the future, that's a matter for the future."

"If you want to destroy me and my kind now because of things in the future, then..."

See you on the battlefield.

......

Outside Lingwa's shop, two snowmen stood frozen in place.

Chen Tao: "Mouse, we...we just heard a dialogue that will determine the future of all human civilization?"

Qin Hao: "Brother, it seems so."

Chen Tao: "Mouse, I don't think the person that shop owner Xiao Yang invited is a scammer."

Qin Hao: "Brother, it seems so."

Chen Tao: "Rat, I think you're a bit of an idiot right now."

Qin Hao: "Brother, it doesn't seem like that. I think you're the idiot."

Chen Tao: "..."

The door to the Spirit Doll shop opened, and the doctor, his face streaked with tears and looking utterly dejected, slowly walked out.

Chen Tao and Qin Hao quickly made way for them.

After the doctor had walked a few steps, Chen Tao suddenly called out to him, "Um, um, that doctor!"

The doctor turned around listlessly. "Hmm?"

Chen Tao took out his phone, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "From what you just said, it seems like you and we are in the same industry?"

"Well, even though we might be on opposing sides, that's okay, we don't mind that..."

The doctor frowned and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Chen Tao: "I want to say, I want to say..."

Qin Hao: "He said he has a group, do you want to join?"

Chen Tao: "..."

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
