I have a ghost diary

The two talked for a long time in the coffee shop. Zhang Haoran had really changed. He was much more composed, as if he had become the eloquent and outstanding student he used to be.

He confessed to Chu Jiang that he had forced himself to believe in the existence of ghosts, hoping to gain the power to touch them, but ultimately failed.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran abandoned this path, hoping that the research institute could obtain the ultimate method to save all mankind from him.

Of course, he did not forget the tragedy at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, nor did he forget the teachers and classmates who died in front of him.

However, Zhang Haoran recognized his own powerlessness, so he placed his hopes on Chu Jiang, hoping that Chu Jiang could help him do what he was unable to accomplish.

Chu Jiang readily agreed. He had never forgotten the English teacher who died in his arms; her name was Yu Fengmei...

After saying goodbye to Zhang Haoran, Chu Jiang couldn't help but recall a saying: "Those who are enlightened are always happy."

......

There's not much else to say. The delegation members left headquarters yesterday and took a plane back home overnight.

The blonde woman was not left behind, but Chu Jiang learned her name: Jade Williams, and that she was British.

Although this may be a pseudonym, it doesn't matter, a name is just a label anyway.

In addition, Chu Jiang gave his contact information to Bruce. It wasn't that he didn't want to earn this extra money, he just didn't want to do it now. He would do it later.

Next, Chu Jiang plans to check some information, go back and investigate Yun Changfeng's whereabouts, and also investigate matters related to the River God.

Overall, things were relatively easy, after all, Luohe City was effectively wiped out by the Black Sun incident.

As long as the negative effects of Ghost Diary don't cause Chu Jiang to attract all sorts of random ghosts, it's fine.

Just then, a fat man in a suit walked into the first-class cabin, holding a cell phone and cursing, as if he were arguing with the person on the other end of the phone.

As the sound grew closer, Chu Jiang, who had originally intended to look at the documents, couldn't help but look up.

A flight attendant was seen advising the fat man to turn off his phone; however, the fat man, who wore a thick gold chain and looked like a nouveau riche, just waved his hand impatiently and eventually sat down next to Chu Jiang.

Since his phone was still on, the flight attendant followed him, saying, "Sir, the plane is about to take off..."

"Bang~!"

Suddenly, a piercing gunshot rang out, and screams erupted in the plane. The female flight attendant was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, stumbling backward in a disheveled state.

The fat man was completely stunned. He felt a buzzing in his left ear, and he was almost deaf.

The fat man was a beat slow to realize what had happened, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it..."

"Don't panic, everyone! It was that idiot who shot at my phone from somewhere else. It's okay, no one brought any guns on the plane."

The fat man was also worried that the plane would be grounded, as he was in a hurry to get back to his hometown.

In the ensuing chaos, everyone looked over and saw a fat man shouting into his phone. Next to him was a pale-faced young man who looked rather unwell and covered the fat man's phone with his hand, clearly "quite frightened."

"Are you crazy?! Why are you blasting the speakers so loud?"

"My God, that really scared me to death! I thought someone had hijacked the plane..."

In the chaos, the flight attendants quickly ran to find other staff. Whether anyone was carrying a gun needed to be checked again to confirm.

"Sorry, bro, you can let go of my hand now. That bastard shot at the phone, so the call was dropped." The fat man turned to Chu Jiang and said apologetically.

Chu Jiang simply snatched his phone with a cold face and crushed it into pieces!

The fat man was initially furious, then shocked. What kind of strength was that? He had crushed a cell phone into tiny pieces.

Chu Jiang, with a backhand motion, dumped a pile of shards of glass and scrap metal onto the fat man's lap in front of him. Among the shattered parts was a bright yellow, deformed bullet...

P.S.: I'm having some writer's block. I'll only be posting two chapters today. Let me sort things out.

Chapter 217 Big Brother, Save Me

Upon seeing the bullet, the fat man was dumbfounded. What was going on?! The two were worlds apart, and the other side was firing a gun through a cell phone, and a bullet actually came flying at them!

This bizarre situation was completely beyond the fat man's comprehension.

Before the fat man could think any further, he saw the young man stand up expressionlessly, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Wait, where are you going?" The fat man grabbed the other's hand nervously.

"Change to another plane." Chu Jiang brushed his hand aside and walked around him.

This is incredibly unlucky. Chu Jiang is certain that this wasn't directed at him, because the bullet was clearly fired directly at the fat man's head.

If he hadn't been quick to sense the supernatural power and caught the bullet, this guy would have been shot in the head by now.

Although he wasn't there for Chu Jiang, Chu Jiang suspected that it might be another ghost diary, attracting other ghosts to unconsciously approach him.

Or perhaps it influenced Chu Jiang, causing him to unconsciously choose the problematic flight.

But the person arguing with the fat man on the phone seemed to be a real person? Chu Jiang thought for a moment and decided not to cause trouble for himself, so he simply changed planes.

"Go call the police, otherwise you might not even know how you died."

"Wait!" The fat man's eyes widened. He seemed to suddenly remember something. With an unusual agility, he lunged forward and grabbed Chu Jiang's leg. "Big brother, help! We've met before."

Chu Jiang looked down at the guy speechlessly. They had met before, but Chu Jiang thought it was just a coincidence. The two had never even spoken before today.

"I don't know you, let go of my hand."

"Yes, we met about a month ago on a flight from Yuetian City to Yunjing City."

"At the time, I had a little boy with me. He was wearing a black Tang suit and had blood-red eyes. He looked really scary."

"Then go find your little boy to save your life. I don't think he's an ordinary person."

The fat man shook his head violently, "He was taken away by that long-haired woman and never came back."

She was taken away by Yuwen Ting? Chu Jiang was also a little surprised. That was the first time he had met that female captain.

At that time, the strange boy seemed to be very hostile towards Yuwen Ting.

The reason Yuwen Ting was late for the meeting later was probably because she had to deal with this troublesome matter.

"Brother, I can give you money. I'm being targeted now, and if you don't save me, I'm doomed!" The fat man was already wiping away tears, his acting skills were superb; he could cry on cue.

Just then, the flight attendant arrived with several airport security personnel.

The fat man immediately said, "Brother, it will take you time to change planes. Why don't you just not change them? Just listen to my story along the way. If you don't want to help, then don't."

When security guards came over to inquire, Chu Jiang walked back expressionlessly, and casually put the bullet away.

The fat man was very relieved. During the subsequent inspection, he patiently explained to the security personnel and actively cooperated with their body search.

After confirming that no one was carrying firearms, the flight, which had been delayed for some time, finally took off smoothly.

......

"Tell me, what happened?" Chu Jiang looked out the porthole at the scenery.

The fat man sighed. "My name is Zhang Dafu, and I'm a businessman."

"My original name was Dafu, but I spent the first half of my life doing nothing and achieving nothing. Later, I consulted a fortune teller who told my fortune, and I changed my name to what it is now. Only then did my luck start to improve..."

"Get to the point." Chu Jiang didn't have time to listen to his rambling.

Zhang Dafu quickly raised his hand, "Don't rush, don't rush. Generally speaking, I personally believe in these mystical things."

"After my business took off, I kept hearing the master say that I should do more good deeds and accumulate merit in secret; this way my business will become more and more successful, and it will also be beneficial for my reincarnation after death and can also bless my descendants."

"So about half a year ago, I invested in a newly built orphanage in Yuetian City, and I put in about half of the money."

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this guy to have done such a good deed. Although he had acted out of self-interest, Chu Jiang always judged people by what they did, not what they said.

"After the orphanage was built, I was too busy with my business to visit it. It wasn't until more than two months ago that I had some free time and drove to the orphanage to take a look and give the children a certificate and a small gift."

"Then at the orphanage, I met a strange child, the boy you saw earlier."

As he said this, Zhang Dafu's expression was complicated, a mixture of fear and a wish that he were still alive.

"The people at the orphanage said that the child has autism, and his eyes have suddenly turned red in recent days for some reason, but the tests can't find anything wrong."

“I didn’t think too much about it at first, but after that child saw me, he insisted that I take him away.”

"Moreover, he displayed ghostly abilities in front of me. Although I was scared, I had no choice but to take him with me to save my own life."

“I named him Xiao Shun. He doesn’t talk, but he follows me around all day. He goes wherever I go, and he even helped me resolve some business problems.”

"So my feelings toward his existence are quite complicated."

"The last time we met on the plane, Xiao Shun inexplicably developed hostility towards that long-haired woman. And after we got off the plane, Xiao Shun even tried to kill her."

"That was the first time I realized how dangerous this child was."

"The long-haired woman was not someone to be trifled with. In the end, Xiao Shun not only failed to kill her, but was also forcibly subdued by her."

"After the woman asked me about Xiao Shun's background, she just told me not to worry about it anymore, and that professionals would take care of the child."

“I haven’t seen Xiaoshun since then…” Zhang Dafu said with some emotion.

Chu Jiang seemed to be deep in thought. This must be a child who was possessed by a ghost and miraculously survived.

However, after becoming a demon master, he was unable to control this power well and was instead severely corrupted by demons.

When Chu Jiang first saw Xiao Shun, he almost thought he was a ghost.

As for Xiao Shun's inexplicable urge to kill Yuwen Ting, it was probably also due to the influence of the ghost within him.

Ultimately, Yuwen Ting sent him to Research Institute No. 21 for processing. If Chu Jiang were to make a phone call back now, he should be able to find out the child's whereabouts.

But hold on, Zhang Dafu obviously hasn't finished speaking yet.

Chapter 218 Relocation of Graves

“I originally thought that with Xiao Shun being taken away, my life would return to what it was before.”

"But I never expected that someone would be targeting me in the last two weeks," Zhang Dafu said with a resentful expression.

"The fact that I used to have a strange child with me somehow got out; some business partners came to my door, implying that they wanted to buy the child."

“I would never do such a thing as human trafficking, especially since Xiao Shun is no longer with me.”

"At first, I told them the truth: Xiao Shun had been taken away by a mysterious woman. But they didn't believe me and thought I was just making excuses for them."
