I have a ghost diary

"What's in Erjiao Alley?" Chu Jiang asked.

"It has everything. It's the busiest commercial street in our county. I'm planning to visit a few jade shops."

"Then let's go to the jade shop."

Chu Jiang didn't care about gifts; he was happy to just buy anything.

Anyway, Lin Daosheng is probably no longer alive, so what's the point of celebrating his birthday? It's all just a formality.

......

Upon arriving at a shop called "Yu Ming Xuan" in Erjiao Alley, Chu Jiang accompanied Lin Mo Hua to select several beautiful jade pieces.

Of course, the money was drawn by Lin Mo, and Chu Jiang didn't have any silver coins from that era.

After selecting the jade items, Lin Mohua took Chu Jiang to other shops, including silk shops, jewelry stores, watch shops, and some shops that specialize in selling imported goods.

Incidentally, Lin Mohua also took Chu Jiang to visit several of the businesses under her name.

As Chu Jiang strolled around, he sensed something was off. It didn't seem like he was there to pick out a congratulatory gift; rather, it seemed like he was there to accompany Miss Lin Mohua on her shopping spree.

When they arrived at a rice shop owned by the Lin family, Chu Jiang made an excuse to go for a walk and temporarily escape from Lin Mohua's place.

He wanted to go outside and see what was happening outside of Luohe County.

Chu Jiang mainly wanted to know just how big this ghost realm was.

It's impossible that Old Master Lin actually created an entire world during the Republic of China era, right? That would be too terrifying; it would be practically a world of its own.

......

Using his ghost-like abilities, Chu Jiang arrived silently outside Luohe County, but the outside was shrouded in mist, as if a thick fog had risen.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang resolutely rushed in.

But not long after, Chu Jiang walked and walked and ended up back in Luohe County.

Moreover, he had absolutely no sense of direction while inside; even if he left a mark in place, the mark would disappear after a few steps.

After experimenting for a while, Chu Jiang was certain that the old man had only constructed the scenery and characters within Luohe County.

As for those who left the county town, of course there were some. Chu Jiang personally saw a peddler driving a donkey cart drive out of Luohe County.

But soon, the peddler and his cart disappeared into the fog.

The same applies to people entering the city. After observing for a while in the fog near the main traffic artery, Chu Jiang saw four or five groups of passersby.

But they seemed to have appeared out of thin air from the fog, rather than coming from a distant place.

All of this must have been arranged by the old master, but Chu Jiang didn't understand why he would do it. Was he trying to create the illusion that his family was still alive?

With many questions in mind, Chu Jiang emerged from the mist and returned to Luohe County.

But as soon as he emerged from the fog, his body froze, because Lin Mohua had silently appeared in front of him.

At this moment, her expression was exceptionally cold. "Where are you going?"

Lin Mohua's voice was somewhat gloomy and hoarse, and her tone was completely different from before.

"It's nothing, just a stroll around. Let's go back." With that, Chu Jiang walked around her and headed straight back into Luohe County.

Lin Mohua drifted over, and after returning to the crowd with Chu Jiang, her expression softened, becoming more like a human than a ghost. "You've been gone for so long, I thought you got lost."

"If you're tired from walking around, let's go back to the Lin residence. I've already asked Xiaoyu to go back to the residence and have the servants prepare a guest room for you."

"Ah."

This time when I went back, I took a black car, and the driver from the mansion picked me up personally.

On the bus, Chu Jiang kept thinking silently. He needed to find a way to escape the Ghost Realm and see if he could see the old man when he got back.

Otherwise, Chu Jiang feared that if he stayed here too long, he would become a "character" in Luohe County, a walking corpse, never able to leave.

......

As soon as they returned to the manor, a young man dressed in a purple robe bumped into Chu Jiang and his companion.

He was with a flamboyantly dressed woman, and they looked like they were about to go out.

But upon seeing Lin Mohua and Chu Jiang, the young master appeared quite surprised. "Oh, Miss Lin, you've also started keeping a gigolo in secret, just like this good-for-nothing spendthrift son of mine?"

Chapter 168 Yandere?

Lin Mohua's face darkened. "Lin Xingfeng, watch your mouth, or don't blame me for tearing your mouth apart."

"No, big sister, I can't beat you. You can raise as many as you want, it's none of my business." As he spoke, the pale-faced young master laughed.

The woman he was holding also smiled obsequiously.

Chu Jiang had been observing the two of them. He noticed that Lin Xingfeng was very lifelike, while the woman in makeup was as stiff as the others.

Lin Xingfeng seemed quite interested in him, outwardly smiling but secretly observing him.

Lin Mohua didn't speak, but suddenly small paper figures jumped out from her body.

These were little figures cut out of red paper, each emitting eerie giggles as they hopped and skipped toward Lin Xingfeng.

The woman being held screamed, clearly terrified.

Lin Xingfeng's face also darkened immediately. "Big sister, are you really going to get serious with me for the sake of an outsider?"

As he spoke, a foul stench emanated from him, as if he were a corpse that had been rotting for many years.

However, Lin Xingfeng did not make a move, and let the little paper figures jump onto him.

"He's a member of the Chu family. If you spout nonsense here, you'll see if the old master will punish you later."

Upon hearing Lin Mohua mention the old master, Lin Xingfeng's expression changed, but he still said, "Which Chu family? There are plenty of people with the surname Chu."

"The Chu River lineage."

Lin Xingfeng was startled. He looked at Chu Jiang incredulously before his expression softened and he asked, "Isn't this branch of the Ghost Master family always based in Chu and rarely comes out? Are you here to celebrate the old master's birthday?"

"Yes," Lin Mohua replied simply.

Lin Xingfeng casually pushed away the woman in his arms, and bowed to Chu Jiang, saying, "My apologies, I am Lin Xingfeng, the second son of the Lin family. I apologize for any offense, Brother Chu."

"Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Eldest sister, please take Brother Chu inside. We can certainly have a welcome banquet tonight."

Lin Mohua frowned slightly; she seemed reluctant to let anyone know about Chu Jiang's existence.

However, if we hadn't revealed Chu Jiang's background just now, her cunning younger brother would definitely have investigated Chu Jiang's identity in secret, which would have caused more trouble.

"We'll see when the time comes." With that, Lin Mohua put away the red paper figures and led Chu Jiang deeper into the Lin residence.

Lin Xingfeng turned around, squinted as he watched the two people walk away, and then left with his woman.

......

Once inside the mansion, Chu Jiang asked, "Has he always been like this?"

Lin Mohua nodded slightly, "My good-for-nothing brother, please excuse the guests."

While chatting casually, Lin Mohua led Chu Jiang to a guest room in the east wing.

This room is much larger than the previous one, and the decorations are much more luxurious and exquisite.

That's not all. When Chu Jiang walked in, he saw maids and servants carrying things into a side room.

This puzzled Chu Jiang. "Are there guests staying in the room next door too?"

Lin Mohua shook her head, "I'll move in here temporarily for a few days to prevent any petty thieves from coming over at night to harass you."

Chu Jiang paused for a moment, "Probably not. I believe no one would dare to act recklessly at the Lin family in Luohe."

"These things are hard to say, and my Lin family is in the most dangerous place in the entire Luohe County. There are still many wandering ghosts and spirits under the ground. I would feel more at ease living here."

After chatting with Chu Jiang for a few more minutes, Lin Mohua took her leave.

Of course, they didn't go far; they were in the next room.

This gave Chu Jiang a sense of crisis. Why did he have the illusion that he had encountered a yandere young lady?

Shaking his head, Chu Jiang sat on the bed and continued to examine the changes in his body.

Actually, he was very concerned about one thing: what exactly was this "Chujiang lineage"? Could his own name really be considered a separate lineage?

Chu Jiang even had a guess: could it be that the person in charge of this family in every generation is named Chu Jiang?

But was the position of head of the family or the person in charge predetermined? You have to know that Chu Jiang was given this name when he was still an infant.

Or perhaps, by the time the story reached modern times, the family had already declined, and Chu Jiang was the last descendant.

Since there are no competitors, it's naturally his turn to call himself "Chu Jiang".

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang shook his head. Unfortunately, Lin Mohua wouldn't tell him either, so he still had to see the old master.

......

After trying it several times, Chu Jiang discovered that he now had an additional ability.

He can switch his hands into a bizarre, corpse-like state; these hands themselves are a kind of supernatural entity, independent of the Blood Hand Ghost and the Dark Left Hand's supernatural abilities.

What is currently known is that it can grant Chu Jiang extremely strong physical attack capabilities... oh no, not physical, it's supernatural, therefore it can also be effective against other ghosts.

So theoretically, if Chu Jiang were ruthless enough, he could even crush the ghosts and violently suppress them.

Moreover, it should have another function, such as being used for battles between supernatural beings. The ghost that killed people with the red thread was completely unable to kill Chu Jiang through this medium.

This ability made Chu Jiang uneasy. Only the power of a ghost could fight against a ghost. Did that mean that there was another ghost inside him that he didn't know about?

But where did this ghost come from? From the time Chu Jiang gained his memories until the incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, he had never encountered any supernatural events.

Moreover, he had always been perfectly normal before, showing no signs of being possessed by a ghost.

Could it be... that this ghost was something he brought with him from his mother's womb? That's way too terrifying!

Chu Jiang felt he knew far too little about ghosts.

Once he returns to the real world, thanks to his contribution in protecting Luohe City, his access to the research institute should be significantly enhanced. He can then review those classified documents.

......

That afternoon, Chu Jiang insisted on seeing the old master, so Lin Mohua took him to the innermost courtyard of the Lin residence.
