Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Cao Mingliang gripped his phone tightly with both hands, sitting by the window trembling uncontrollably.

His gaze kept drifting to the window in front of him, as if afraid that another face with a terrified expression might appear there.

Actually, Zhang Donglei's expression at that time was completely understandable.

I came over to deliver the phone in the middle of the night and saw Cao Mingliang holding a photo to his ear, talking to himself. Considering what has happened recently, it must have been quite a shock.

But the psychological impact Cao Mingliang was experiencing at this moment was much stronger than that of Zhang Donglei.

Just now, after Zhang Donglei left, Cao Mingliang made a phone call to his seniors.

This time he really did call using his own phone, and the result was...

The process of making the call was exactly the same as the first time he had ever made a call using a "photo" as a cell phone!

The first senior colleague also left a message saying, "Yeah, I'm confused, don't call anymore," and hung up. When I called back, the phone was switched off!

The second senior colleague said, "Of course! It's not just those six who're afraid of him! In our entire company, apart from you, no one else dares to take this job!"

The third mentor of his own said, "Not all cases can be solved."

"Everything must be done according to the rules. Absolutely no haphazard actions are allowed. This is extremely important, understand?!"

The difference this time was that, instead of asking me to look at the window, the innkeeper added, "If you follow the rules, you'll be fine."

Afterwards, Cao Mingliang told his master about his recent experience.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone; Cao Mingliang could even hear his master's increasingly rapid and heavy breathing.

In the end, his master hung up without saying anything, and Cao Mingliang didn't call back. He completely understood how his master felt at that moment.

It was a kind of utterly dominated despair, and fear.

Lowering his head, holding the phone between his hands and pressing it against his forehead, Cao Mingliang took deep breaths, trying to calm his inner fear.

Click, click—

However, the sound of the night wind blowing against the window tugged at his highly sensitive nerves; every time the window rustled, Cao Mingliang's hand would tremble.

This was the first time since he discovered his special talent that he felt that sometimes, being different from ordinary people wasn't a good thing.

It took Cao Mingliang a long time to emerge from his negative state of despair and fear.

He stood in front of the mirror in the room, looking at himself with unwavering determination, and said, "The most effective way to overcome fear is to face it head-on."

Holding up the photograph and looking at the principal of Changqing Middle School in Binhai City, Cao Mingliang gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "It starts with him. I won't let you succeed!"

......

After leaving Cao Mingliang, Zhang Donglei took out his phone and called Lei Ming, briefly explaining what had happened that afternoon.

Lei Ming on the other end of the phone seemed to be quite ill; he only managed a few words before running out of energy.

"Okay, I got it..."

"Since that's what the higher-ups say, then let's leave it to Captain Cao."

"Old Zhang, I feel unwell all over and have no strength at all."

"Okay, that's all for now, I'm hanging up."

At this moment, Zhang Donglei said one last thing: "Team Leader Lei, Yang Ning booked a plane ticket to leave Yunnan Province today."

"..."

"Team Leader Lei?"

Lei Ming's previously weak voice suddenly became strong: "He's leaving? When?!"

Zhang Donglei: "Um, Captain Lei, you sound like you're feeling a bit better?"

"That Yang Ning is my problem! Let's get down to business, when is he leaving?"

"Two days later."

"..."

"Team Leader Lei?"

"Ouch, my head is starting to hurt again, and I still feel unwell all over. Old Zhang, I'm hanging up now. If you need anything these next couple of days, go find Captain Cao. Don't bother me unless it's important..."

"Okay, then you can rest first, huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Donglei looked up at the police station building. It was almost midnight, but the lights were still on in the criminal investigation team's office.

"Nothing's wrong. Is there anyone still in the office this late? I'll go check it out."

"Hey Lao Zhang, something's been weird lately. Why don't you just ask in the group chat? What are you going over there in the middle of the night in the dark? Do you think a thief could break into our place?"

"Anyway, I'm free. I'll go check it out. Okay, I'll hang up now!"

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Donglei walked towards the police station office, which was lit up.

It was the middle of the night, and the entire building was pitch black except for the duty room on the first floor. Zhang Donglei greeted the police officer on duty and then habitually tiptoed upstairs.

Although the police are unlikely to catch thieves under normal circumstances, it is difficult to prevent some skilled and daring thieves from playing in the dark.

The criminal investigation office was on the third floor. After Zhang Donglei arrived, he first pressed his ear against the wall and listened for a while. The howling wind at night, along with the light rain hitting the glass, created a series of "rustling" sounds from inside the criminal investigation office.

It looks like someone is writing.

Zhang Donglei frowned slightly. It's so late, are there still people working overtime?

He stepped forward slowly and looked through the window. In the criminal investigation office, under a desk lamp with a slightly yellowish glow, policewoman Yang Lan seemed to be lost in thought, holding a pen and writing something on a pile of white paper in front of her.

Seeing that it was Yang Lan, Zhang Donglei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He strode forward and knocked on the office door. "Yang Lan! What do you want?"

"ah?!"

The policewoman in the office was suddenly startled. She looked up and saw Zhang Donglei, and immediately stammered, "N-nothing!"

She hurriedly gathered the white papers on the table in front of her, stuffed them all into a drawer, locked it, grabbed her handbag, and left.

As she passed by the door, she didn't dare look at Zhang Donglei and left with her head down.

Zhang Donglei glanced at the desk lamp still on in the office and asked疑惑地问道, "Leaving in such a hurry? Didn't you even turn off the light?"

He shook his head, walked to Yang Lan's desk, and was about to press the desk lamp button when he saw a piece of white paper lying on the floor.

A sentence was written on a piece of white paper with a black pen: Is there really such a thing as love at first sight in this world?

Zhang Donglei immediately laughed. He bent down to pick up the white paper from the ground. "Well, so you're in a relationship? I knew it!"

The smile on Zhang Donglei's face vanished in an instant the next second.

On the other side of the white paper, he saw a name written densely—

Yang Ning.

......

Yang Ning's room at the Four Seasons Hotel, Caiyun.

Lying on the bed, Yang Ning reached into his white cloth bag and rummaged around for a while, taking out a small cartoon doll covered in peach blossoms. At this moment, petals were slowly growing on the cartoon doll's body.

Yang Ning said helplessly, "Um, Sister Peach Blossom, could you please stop using your supernatural powers?"

"Or could you raise the bar?"

"Isn't it a bit too easy to meet the condition that you can trigger it every time you're alone with someone for more than ten minutes?"

The cartoon doll hugged Yang Ning's fingers affectionately and then shook its head repeatedly, looking like it was saying, "I don't want to, I don't want to!"

Helpless, Yang Ning reached out and plucked off a newly grown petal from the peach blossom doll, then casually tossed it to the ground.

The petals, before they even hit the ground, had already withered completely and vanished into thin air.

The next second, the peach blossom doll in Yang Ning's hand burst into tears, patting Yang Ning's fingers repeatedly with its cute little hands.

Yang Ning, like a scumbag, casually tossed the "Peach Blossom Girl" into his white cloth bag.

At the foot of the police station building, just as Yang Ning was tearing off the petals of Peach Blossom Sister, Yang Lan, a policewoman who was coming downstairs in a panic, trembled all over!

It felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on me; I felt chilled to the bone!

She touched her face in utter surprise, muttering, "Yang Lan, are you crazy?!"

"You fell for him in just one day?!"

"Pooh!"

After saying that, she seemed relieved and left with light steps.
