Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Inside Qingshan Hospital.

Cao Mingliang walked through the parking lot and finally met Yang Ning.

That white outfit was too conspicuous in the darkness.

From Cao Mingliang's perspective, Yang Ning was looking down and talking to someone, but he couldn't see anyone opposite Yang Ning at all.

So he crept closer.

As they drew closer, Yang Ning's words became clearer and clearer to Cao Mingliang: "Tonight, she will definitely experience the pain of death."

"The exact same pain as yours."

"Hmm, perhaps she'll suffer even more."

Cao Mingliang peeked over and saw that in the darkness, Yang Ning seemed to be talking to thin air.

Standing in this eerie Qingshan Hospital, the scene before him gave Cao Mingliang goosebumps all over.

Clang—

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out from behind Cao Mingliang!

The sound was extremely jarring in the quiet night, startling Cao Mingliang!

He quickly hid and looked toward the source of the sound. He saw a silver bowl roll across the ground and roll all the way to Yang Ning!

Then a bizarre scene unfolded!

The bowl was placed flat in front of Yang Ning as if someone had picked it up!

Yang Ning now has a sharp dagger in his hand!

Upon seeing this, Cao Mingliang immediately took out his phone, turned on the night mode, and captured the moment when Yang Ning held the knife!

In his view, that dagger was very likely the tool Yang Ning used to commit the crime tonight!

However, the reality is always unexpected.

Yang Ning used a dagger to make a cut on his hand and dripped a full bowl of blood into the silver bowl!

As blood dripped, he whispered, "If the torso is intact, I can breathe on it within seven days."

"Seven days later, or within a year, a single drop of blood will suffice."

"For something that's been going on for decades, I'd have to spend a fortune..."

"But your old man did me a great service, so it's nothing to let him rest in peace."

"Speaking of which, Liu Xiao is quite the filial son. He actually managed to preserve this thing perfectly for decades. Tsk, but how could he have imagined..."

Yang Ning finished speaking, and then, right across from him, from beneath the silver bowl that had seemingly "floated" into the air, came a clear, cheerful laugh: "Hehe!"

The laughter made Cao Mingliang tense, because he had heard it before, right before Liu Xiao died!

Soon, the sounds ahead disappeared. Cao Mingliang peeked out and found that Yang Ning had already left.

He quietly stepped forward, passed through an iron gate with a small open door, and saw that the place where Yang Ning had just been standing was in front of a building that resembled a hospital ward.

This place is both a mental hospital and a prison, so it's not surprising that it has iron gates and such ward buildings.

What surprised Cao Mingliang was that the security here was so lax.

The guards at the main gate were sleeping, the security booth in the parking lot was empty, and the iron gate connecting the inside and outside of the prison allowed people to come and go as they pleased.

Is there no one guarding it?

Suspicious, Cao Mingliang tried to use his five senses to perceive his surroundings, but to no avail.

After crossing the sea bridge, he discovered that his five senses were the same as those of ordinary people, or even worse, because he was not used to having such dulled senses.

Just as Cao Mingliang was wondering, he heard footsteps behind him.

The two guards passed through the iron gate and looked around. Cao Mingliang immediately shrank into a dark corner to the side.

Soon, a clearer sound of footsteps came from outside the iron gate, accompanied by a cold, sharp voice: "This one's yours!"

A person wearing a white short-sleeved shirt was brought in from the outside through the iron gate.

Cao Mingliang was shocked to see that the man was the white-clad man who had been smashed in the head with a beer bottle on Jianhai Road at dusk!

He immediately recalled that he had only noticed Yang Ning and the man in black rolling their eyes at him like ghosts, while ignoring the man in white!

Later, it was from the photos sent by Captain Li that I noticed the white-clad man had the exact same expression as Yang Ning!

If it weren't for Captain Li, I would have completely overlooked this person!

At this moment, the two guards exchanged questions: "Which ward is this?"

"0421".

"Okay, let's go. Let's register first, then send it over!"

After the two guards left, Cao Mingliang immediately got up and headed straight for room 0421 in the ward building ahead!

He could already guess that the person Yang Ning wanted to kill was in that ward!

And this man in white is the murder weapon that Yang Ning hypnotized!

Cao Mingliang ran up to the fourth floor in one breath and arrived at the door of 0421!

Because it functions as a prison, all the room doors in this ward building are made of thick iron. Just as Cao Mingliang was wondering what to do next, he heard footsteps coming from the direction he came from!

Someone's coming!

Cao Mingliang instinctively tried to dodge, but then— *snap*—

The door to room 0421 in front of him opened from the inside.

Without thinking twice, Cao Mingliang slipped inside!

He found himself in a ward that resembled a dormitory, housing twelve people, with three bunk beds on each side of the walls.

The upper bunk in the middle to his right was empty, while the other beds were occupied!

But it seems no one noticed him!

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the door, Cao Mingliang gritted his teeth, climbed onto the empty bed, and lay down facing the wall.

He then pulled the blanket over himself.

Soon, a rustling sound came from behind, and Cao Mingliang realized that someone had climbed onto his bed.

But the person didn't seem to notice him; he simply lay down beside him, burrowed into the blanket, and didn't react too violently.

Cao Mingliang suddenly remembered that this was a mental hospital.

The people inside all have some degree of mental health issues.

Soon, the footsteps outside stopped in front of room 0421, click-click-click—

The iron gate opened, and judging from the sound, someone had come in.

It seems there's more than one person?

Two footsteps, one light and one heavy, stopped in front of his bed. Cao Mingliang involuntarily moved closer to the wall. At the same time, he felt the person huddled in the blanket behind him also move closer to the wall.

The next second, upon hearing the sound coming from under the bed, Cao Mingliang felt as if he were being pricked by needles!

"Hehe! Chengcheng, is it her?! Is it her? Is it her?!"

Cao Mingliang heard that eerie little girl's laughter again!

And he also heard "Chengcheng"!

Yang Ning's nickname!

What does this mean?!

This means Yang Ning is also in this room!

What will happen next?!

Cao Mingliang's breathing became rapid. Perhaps, he would successfully obtain evidence of Yang Ning's murder tonight!

Immediately, he heard Yang Ning's voice!

"Yes, that's right, it's her. You have to call her...Grandma Zhao."

"Grandma Zhao! Chengcheng and I have come to play with you!"

A brief silence followed in the room.

Cao Mingliang heard the sound of some kind of liquid being poured onto something.

Then, a frail, aged woman's voice rang out: "Spare me, spare me, spare me!"

"I...I know I was wrong, please let me go, please, I beg you!"

The girl giggled, "Hehe! Grandma Zhao, what nonsense are you talking about?! Chengcheng and I came to play with you!"

Yang Ning's voice: "Yes, we came to visit you."

The elderly woman asked, "Play...play what?"

Yang Ning: "Ya Mei, what do you like to play?"

The giggling girl exclaimed, "Grandma Zhao! Look at me, I'll show you something funny!"

Next, the old woman let out a series of terrified screams!

"Ah, ah?! Ah, ah!! No, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I was wrong! Don't look for me anymore!"

"Please! I'll kowtow to you! Waaah!"

The old woman started to cry as she spoke.

Listening to the noises coming from the lower bunk, Cao Mingliang was completely confused. He slowly turned over, took out his phone, placed it by the bedside, and pointed the camera at the lower bunk, revealing a corner of it.

At that moment, a pale, cold, and trembling hand suddenly reached out from under the blanket and snatched his phone, which was lying on the side of the bed, back under the blanket.

Cao Mingliang was suddenly startled and quickly pulled back the blanket—

He saw a cold, dead body huddled under the blanket covering him, trembling uncontrollably.

......

Coastal highway leading out of the city.

The scarred man was still on the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "How did you help that kid?"

The scarred man chuckled, "I've shielded his five senses, so even if he sees something terrifying tonight, he won't suffer any real harm."

"Yes, that's fine. You have my style; you never abandon your teammates in times of crisis, just like I never abandoned you."

"Of course! Don't you know who I'm with?!"

Just as the scarred man was about to say something more, suddenly, *whoosh*—

He slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a firm stop on the side of the road!

His whole body began to tremble violently, his face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely!

On the phone: "What's wrong? What happened on your end?"

The scarred man wiped the sweat from his face and said in a panic, "Boss, boss, something terrible seems to be happening..."

"Don't panic! What's wrong?! Don't hang up, I want to see what's scaring you like this!"

The scarred man tensed up, took his hands off the steering wheel, hugged himself tightly, and choked out, "Boss, Yang Ning, he... he found me, he broke through my cover..."

For a moment, both sides of the phone fell silent.

The next second, *smack!*

"Beep beep beep—"

The phone went dead; the call was disconnected.

Scarred man: "..."
