I have a ghost diary

"It's obvious that you didn't hear the end, you left after hearing half of it; and you even gathered the Lin family members and turned them to your side."

"But I think you know perfectly well that the old man couldn't possibly not notice you eavesdropping outside."

"Then why would he deliberately let it go?"

"You should know the reason better than I do. The old master knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he simply used the fifth concubine to let you know all this."

"So, this is how you responded to him?"

“You want to protest, but you don’t dare to protest to the old master in front of him; you only dare to stop me, your guest, and try to get me to take you out.”

"You guys are just delusional!"

When Chu Jiang finished speaking, his tone was blatantly rebuking, but no one could refute him. Lin Mohua even looked at him with a complex expression.

Chu Jiang coldly swept his gaze over the crowd. "Come on! I'll stand right here. Kill me if you dare!"

Upon hearing this, the second young lady and the fifth young master became somewhat agitated. Their minds were already somewhat muddled, and they followed the actions of the Lin family.

Now, upon hearing the word "kill," their ghostly instincts begin to stir...

Seeing this, the other members of the Lin family had no choice but to appear beside the two of them and hold them down with their hands.

If the Lin family really dares to harm Chu Jiang, then the old master will definitely step in.

At that point, given the old man's personality and temper, he might very well completely destroy their minds, leaving them forever in the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall...

Fifth Concubine's face froze. She was silent for a moment, then finally mustered her courage, bypassed Chu Jiang, and walked step by step toward the side room.

"Grandpa! Come out here!"

The fifth concubine hadn't taken more than a few steps when, from the depths of darkness, came the sound of a door creaking open again, followed by the sound of a cane clicking on the ground, as if an old man with faltering steps was slowly making his way in.

Finally, when the old man's aged, solemn, and dignified face appeared before them, the Lin family members involuntarily lowered their heads slightly.

Even Lin Qingdai and Lin Xinghe, one of them transformed into a half-human, half-snake and hid behind their mother; the other also quickly transformed back into his original human form, his two fingers intertwined, waiting timidly for the old man to come, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this scene, Chu Jiang couldn't help but sigh. The impression the old master had left on them was so profound that just one meeting had brought back much of the humanity in the Lin family.

Looking at the Lin family members, and Xu Lan, the only one who held her head high and looked at him defiantly, the old man sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry to you all."

"But this is a family matter for the Lin family. Is this how you treat your guests?! Is this how I taught you?"

As soon as the old man spoke, the Lin family members instinctively made way for Chu Jiang, no longer daring to obstruct him.

Seeing this, the old man looked at Chu Jiang and said, "Go, go, let us handle this ourselves."

Chu Jiang nodded and looked at everyone in the Lin family. They were all looking at him with very complicated expressions.

Chu Jiang walked step by step toward the whirlpool, but at that moment, Lin Mohua quickly stepped forward from behind him and asked in a trembling voice, "Will you... will you come back?"

Chu Jiang paused for a moment, but he didn't turn around or respond. He simply took a step and left this bizarre and surreal ghost world.

As the man's figure disappeared, large tears streamed down Lin Mohua's face.

She had forgotten how many years it had been since she last cried. It seemed that she had never shed a tear since she became an adult, because she believed that only cowards cried.

But now, Lin Mohua's tears wouldn't stop. She began to regret what she had done, knowing full well that the other person couldn't just leave with her like this...

The old man sighed again, looking even more frail and aged.

He turned and walked back step by step. "Come with me, all of you. It's been a long time since we had a family meeting. This time I'll give you an explanation. Come on over..."

The Lin family remained silent. They stopped looking at the gradually disappearing vortex and simply followed in the footsteps of the old man.

Even Lin Mohua, who had remained where she was, was pulled away by the First Madam and followed the Old Master...

Chapter 185 Stealing My Position?

Leaving the ghost realm and returning to the quiet Lin Clan Ancestral Hall, Chu Jiang felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Looking back, he could still vaguely see black human silhouettes in the shrine.

They were eerie and inexplicable, like something out of a dream; they walked away from me, their backs turned, receding into the distance...

Once everything returned to normal and he saw the cold memorial tablets, Chu Jiang turned around and walked forward.

It seems to be morning, and it's not the day the Lin clan holds their ancestral worship ceremony, so it's very quiet here.

Before leaving Shunde Hall, Chu Jiang took out his phone and checked the time: 1:30 AM...

Goodness, it's probably due to the difference in time between the inside and outside. The brief period of time the black sun reversed wouldn't cause a huge discrepancy between the time Chu Jiang experienced and real time.

Then Chu Jiang turned around and looked around, and found that there were four or five hidden surveillance cameras in Shunde Hall.

However, a problem arose: before Chu Jiang emerged from the Ghost Realm, he used ghost transformation to avoid startling anyone outside who might be performing a ritual.

Moreover, he can choose to be photographed by modern electronic instruments or not.

He is now in the highest level of concealment, so much so that even ordinary ghost masters cannot see him, let alone surveillance cameras.

"So they really found their way here? The people at the research institute aren't stupid."

Seeing this, Chu Jiang was no longer in a hurry to leave. He activated his extrasensory perception ability, and the range kept expanding outwards: one meter, ten meters, one hundred meters...

Chu Jiang could clearly "see" everything within a radius of 100 meters.

Chu Jiang discovered that at this moment, there were at least three ghost masters and more than a dozen people operating high-tech monitoring equipment, watching this place 24 hours a day.

There was also a group of well-trained soldiers, clearly from special forces. They disguised themselves as ordinary people and hid in the crowd. Some were running pancake stalls, some were squatting under trees playing on their phones, and some were pretending to be passing by.

Finally, there was another group of people responsible for shift work, but they were still sleeping and not doing anything.

At this moment, Chu Jiang did not want to go out and greet them directly, otherwise they would pester him with questions and might not let him leave, making him wait for orders from his superiors.

Let's go back to the company first and see if the remaining employees are still alive.

Then make another call to contact headquarters.

One last trip home, perfect.

With the plan finalized, Chu Jiang silently took flight.

But as soon as he left the area of ​​the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall, he let out a soft "Eh".

Chu Jiang made a light press with his left hand, and then, in a room of a four-story building on the right side of the ancestral hall, an old alarm clock was precisely turned off by a black left hand that emerged from the shadows before it could ring.

There were two people in the room, each occupying one of the two windows, staring at the ancestral hall.

Since no one looked behind them, they didn't notice anything amiss until the left hand disappeared into the darkness.

"That's impressive, they managed to spot someone coming out." Chu Jiang commented as he flew towards the Tianfeng Building.

That alarm clock must be some kind of special sealed object. If he didn't have super-sensory perception and the ability to sense things from a distance and stop them in time, the alarm clock would probably have already rung.

On his way to the company, Chu Jiang was also carefully observing the changes in Luohe City. His previous actions should have saved a lot of people.

As it turned out, the situation in Luohe City was much better than he had imagined.

Although overall foot traffic has decreased and many shops on the streets have closed, there hasn't been a severe recession.

For a moment, Chu Jiang was confused about how long he had been missing.

Could it be six months, or even a year?

Thinking of this, he stopped, randomly entered a house and flipped through the calendar, which showed that today was November 1st.

In other words, Chu Jiang has been missing for more than half a month; to be precise, today is the nineteenth day since he disappeared.

But something's not right. Chu Jiang flew into the air again.

He made a special observation of the citizens' mental state. Although many people still looked somewhat downcast and seemed not to have emerged from their grief, overall they were alright.

It's rare to see someone become paranoid because they've experienced a ghost story.

What exactly did Research Institute No. 21 do?

Also, how did they suppress the incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School? I don't think I've seen many related reports.

Filled with doubt, Chu Jiang sped towards the Tianfeng Building.

Before officially joining the company, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something: Could it be something like modifying memories?

The old man can erase other people's memories, causing them to be reincarnated repeatedly; perhaps there are also special ghost masters with similar abilities at the research institute.

Such extensive memory alteration is truly beyond the capabilities of ordinary people...

Shaking his head, Chu Jiang stopped thinking about it; he could find out later by asking.

Chu Jiang took root and became a physical entity, opening the company's glass door with his fingerprint and walking in with dignity.

As always, there were only a few people in the company. Chu Jiang casually sensed that there were only three people on this floor. However, a certain guy actually occupied his office, which made him a little unhappy.

Chu Jiang walked straight to the office and politely knocked on the door.

At this moment, Yan Wanli, with a small tuft of blond hair on his head, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, exuding a cool and slightly arrogant air, was sitting behind his desk.

He stood with his back to the gate, looking at the distant view of the Luohe River beyond the glass curtain wall, his expression somewhat melancholy.

Hearing a knock at the door, Yan Wanli simply said nonchalantly, "Come in."

Chu Jiang opened the door, and as soon as he stepped into the office, Yan Wanli jumped up as if in a stress reaction! He almost hit the ceiling from that height.

"Who!" He turned around immediately, his face showing fear.

In that instant, Yan Wanli suddenly sensed that a terrifying presence had entered from behind.

Chu Jiang put his hands in his pockets and looked at him coldly, "I've only been gone for two days, and you're already trying to steal my place, huh?"

The moment Yan Wanli saw Chu Jiang's face, he was completely stunned.

A few seconds later, he finally reacted and asked, "You're not dead?"

"Nonsense, answer my question." Chu Jiang stepped forward.

Yan Wanli stepped back in another direction, carefully handing over the "boss's seat" behind the desk to Chu Jiang.

"It's like this, let me explain. Because an S-level incident just happened in Luohe City, and the local person in charge is missing."

"That's why headquarters asked me to stay here temporarily to guard the area for a while, in order to prevent any accidents from happening."
