Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

"Ah, ah!"

"Master, spare me! Spare me!"

"Spare me—"

The old sea ghost only uttered one word in his third sentence before his entire ghostly body transformed into a foul-smelling sea breeze, which was then inhaled by the painted-face man in red.

At the same time, the melodious music emanating from the music box on the painted-face red-clad figure became even clearer.

Afterwards, Yang Ning ate skewers by himself. Apart from Mingming and Honghong who grilled the skewers for him, the other kids and the little boy Hai Gui ran to the beach to play.

In the middle of the night, a dozen or so kids got tired of playing and came over to sit in a semi-circle around Yang Ning.

Yang Ning also started eating his second meal. He doesn't usually get to eat such fresh seafood, so he's eating as much as he can this time.

The little devils watched from the sidelines.

As Sun Dapang watched Yang Ning eat oysters, he frowned and said, "Strange..."

Why do I feel satisfied just watching him eat?

The other little devils nodded in agreement.

A large, real tortoise was crawling on the back of a little tortoise whose limbs had been cut off. As it crawled, it cheerfully exclaimed, "Isn't that how it always is? That's why we never need to eat!"

The other little devils nodded in agreement.

But Sun Dapang looked puzzled and said, "But why don't I feel satisfied when he poops? That doesn't make sense!"

The little devils: "..."

Yang Ning, who was enjoying his oysters, put them down and said, "Sun Da Pang, the sea is fun, could you please go a little further away?"

Sun Dapang pursed his lips, turned his back, and looked up at the stars and moon in the night sky, pondering scientific questions.

Yang Ning looked at the little sea monster, "From now on, you'll be all alone in this sea. No one will want to eat you anymore. Are you happy?"

The little sea ghost looked at the other little ghosts around it and said reluctantly, "Are you all leaving?"

"I can spend another night with you tomorrow, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow."

Yang Ning asked him, "How long have you been in the water?"

The boy, a sea monster, held up four fingers and said, "I don't remember exactly how long ago, but I've seen it snow four times. Yeah, it was just now when that old man in the big red coat who ate me dragged me into the water, and he even bit me..."

"It hurt so much at the time that I fell asleep immediately. Since I woke up, I have been living in the sea."

Yang Ning was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "What about your parents? Haven't they tried to contact you?"

The little sea monster lowered its head and said in a low voice, "They came looking for me once..."

"They kept calling my name, but when I ran towards them, they just... stopped looking for me."

"They ran very fast, and I couldn't stay away from the sea for too long, otherwise I would feel very uncomfortable, so I couldn't catch up with them and could only watch them leave. After that, I didn't have a father or mother."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and said happily, "But during the day, many children come here to play, and I can secretly watch them from the sea!"

Yang Ning smiled. "Haven't you thought about hanging out with them?"

"I've thought about it!"

The little sea monster lowered its head again. "But as soon as I appeared, they started crying and screaming, saying there was a ghost!"

"I've looked several times but I still can't find the ghost. Maybe they're talking about that old man, but when I went to visit them, the old man wasn't around..."

"After that, I stopped playing with them and just hid in the sea to watch them play. Hehe, it was quite fun!"

As he spoke, he boasted to Yang Ning, as if to take credit: "I've saved several children from drowning a few times! I've also saved adults from drowning! But there are those I can't save. That old man always looks fierce, and I don't dare to rescue the people he's harassing..."

Yang Ning roughly understood what the little sea ghost meant. Just like Chen Yamei, this little ghost was completely unaware that he was already a ghost and still thought he was alive.

He stared at the waves in front of him in silence for a moment, then asked, "What's your name?"

My parents always call me Xiaobao.

"Xiao Bao, if you'd like, I can take you with me. Don't worry about leaving the sea, I'll take care of that. That way, you won't lack playmates in the future."

The little sea ghost looked at the other little ghosts with great surprise, and they all nodded in agreement. "Little sea ghost, come with us!"

"Yes, Chengcheng will keep your life very fulfilling every day!"

"Yes, yes! It's so boring for you to just stay carefree in the ocean every day. Come and help Chengcheng with some chores! It'll be so much fun!"

"You can witness firsthand how he turns living people into vengeful ghosts!"

"You can also watch how he turns wandering ghosts into vengeful spirits!"

"There are even free jobs!"

The little sea ghost could tell from the tone of the little devils' voices that they were very happy.

But......

The little sea monster looked back at the ocean and asked Yang Ning, "I... I can play with them for another night, right?"

Yang Ning understood what the little sea ghost meant. He nodded and said, "Yes, are you sure? If you stay here, you'll eventually disappear. What I mean is that you'll die in the sea."

The little sea monster smiled and said, "I love the sea very much. I loved it before, I love it now, and I will definitely love it in the future!"

"I want to stay here, with my sea."

Yang Ning smiled slightly, his hand brushing over the little sea ghost's wrist. A red string appeared on the little sea ghost's swollen and white arm. "Alright, whatever makes you happy. Go have fun."

"Yay! Let's go play!"

A dozen or so kids cheered and ran off. Yang Ning lay on the beach and took out the Book of Fate.

When he left Qingshan Hospital, he had four good connections. After seeing Wen Tiantian off, he had three left.

Prior to this, Yang Ning had also given away two red ropes that could ensure safety, one to Chen Tao's son and the other to the police officer who persuaded him on the cross-sea bridge.

These two red threads have not yet been redeemed, and they may never be redeemed, so a good connection has not yet been formed.

But after giving the little sea ghost the red string, Yang Ning immediately gained two more acts of kindness.

Compared to the varied lives of Chen Tao's son and the police officer, Xiao Haigui's ghost life was not so complicated.

The addition of two auspicious connections in the Book of Fate indicates that the red rope Yang Ning gave to the little sea ghost will definitely enable the little sea ghost to save two more lives. It also means that after saving those two more lives, the little sea ghost will disappear for various reasons.

This time could be a day later, a year later, or a hundred years later.

Yang Ning knew exactly when it would happen by using a turtle shell to calculate, but he didn't bother to do so.

For the little sea monster, dispersing might not be a bad outcome.

Putting aside the little sea ghost, what left Yang Ning speechless the most was Zhao Mingxue's good karma. He resurrected Zhao Mingxue, but gave up a bowl of blood for nothing and didn't get any good karma.

But killing Zhao Mingxue actually deducted a good deed.

"Heh, maybe that's just life. Where is there absolute fairness?"

Day breaks, night falls, then day breaks again.

It's been three days already, and Yang Ning should leave.

At dawn that day, Yang Ning and a dozen or so little devils waved to the little sea monsters in the ocean and turned to leave.

He held a sea-blue jade stone in his hand, a gift from the little sea ghost.

......

Cao Mingliang has been ill recently.

He was very ill.

The kind of person who can't get out of bed.

He lay in the Special Administration's safe house all day long, neither eating nor drinking.

That morning, just after Yang Ning boarded the high-speed train leaving Binhai, a man with a scar near his eye appeared at Cao Mingliang's noodle shop.

He tossed a car key to Cao Mingliang, saying, "The organization has orders for you."

"Go to the mountains to pick someone up."

"The address has been sent to your phone. This person can save you."

Extremely weak, Cao Mingliang turned to look at the man. "I've seen you before, the night before last, by the roadside in Binhai Brigade."

The scarred man didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Cao Mingliang took out his phone and looked at an address that had been sent to him.

Xishan Province, Baiyun Temple on Qingyu Mountain, Li Bai.

"Li Bai?"

Cao Mingliang's withered lips curled up slightly as he weakly smiled and said, "What a romantic name..."
