I have a ghost diary

"In this way, even the last trace of psychological suggestion will be broken. When Duan Ming'en fully wakes up and realizes that he is just a pawn being used, his anger and resistance will arise spontaneously."

"By then, even if the white-haired man wanted to try a second time, he might not be able to succeed."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, "I was just about to ask if it could be recorded as a video..."

After a series of maneuvers, Chu Jiang successfully preserved crucial "evidence."

Then he looked at Zhou Wenshan, "Let's restore Duan Ming'en to his original state. By the way, won't he suffer any aftereffects from all this tormenting you've done to him?"

Zhou Wenshan didn't seem too concerned. "There will be some effects, like lethargy or nightmares. But since I've tried my best to control the ghost, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly. Sure enough, it could only be said that things involving ghosts were completely inexplicable by common sense. After being brainwashed, having their brains eaten, and having their souls absorbed, they could still be stuffed back in without "major problems".

......

After Zhou Wenshan put Duan Ming'en's soul back, wiped the blood off his head, and then put the ghost back into her own body, she restored the lights in the room.

Chu Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Did you only control one ghost?"

Chapter 227 Trampling and Humility

Faced with this question from her superior, Zhou Wenshan simply smiled and said, "What, isn't that enough?"

"I am a demon master who has chosen the path of [hypnosis], so I seem to be more powerful than you expected, but this is not without its price."

“Every now and then, I have to go back to headquarters to have them hypnotize the demon inside me to prevent it from over-reviving and taking my life.”

"Unless I never use its power again, I will always have to rely on Research Institute No. 21."

"In this way, it's as if I'm tied to the research institute's ship, and I'm never allowed to resign."

"Of course, if I can find other organizations with the ability to hypnotize ghosts, I can also choose to leave the research institute and join them."

"But those organizations are often not as reliable as research institutes, at least the people in charge of research institutes have some principles."

Chu Jiang nodded thoughtfully. Among the many ghost masters he had met before, there must have been others who chose this path. It's just that they didn't say it outright like Zhou Wenshan did; it was their own important secret.

Hypnosis is also a path that Chu Jiang abandoned in the beginning.

"Nevertheless, the ghost inside you is still very special. I'm surprised that you're just a junior psychologist."

Zhou Wenshan stood up. "Being too conspicuous isn't a good thing, just like you are now."

"I just want to be a lazy, unproductive employee; I don't want to work myself to the bone for the research institute."

"I'm only going all out this time because of our past relationship. Remember, you can't delay paying my salary afterwards."

Chu Jiang nodded, "Don't worry about that, I definitely won't delay payment."

......

When Duan Ming'en woke up, several hours had already passed.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp headache, as if his head was about to split open.

But when he touched his head, he found nothing wrong; it was as if he had just had a nightmare and was covered in a cold sweat.

With some difficulty, Duan Ming'en sat up and looked around. He found that Miss Zhou was no longer there; only Chu Jiang was sitting quietly by the bed, waiting for him to wake up.

"No, I'm sorry, Captain Chu, how long have I been asleep?" Duan Ming'en tried to get up and get out of bed.

Chu Jiang simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to get up.

"The results are in. I'll show you something interesting." Chu Jiang handed the other person a tablet computer he had prepared.

Duan Ming'en's heart skipped a beat. Something interesting? But he hadn't lied...

Duan Ming'en hurriedly took the tablet, turned on the screen, and immediately began to watch it intently after discovering that it was a video.

The video was short, only a little over a minute long, but the more Duan Ming'en watched it, the tighter his fists clenched. In the end, he even bit his lip until it bled.

Because of the voice-over, he didn't need to specifically read the white-haired man's lip movements to easily understand what had happened.

I felt like a clown, sitting numbly in a chair, receiving instructions from a stranger.

What's even more terrifying, or rather, more tragic, is that he was completely unaware of it. It wasn't until he saw the video that Duan Ming'en vaguely recalled that something like this really had happened.

Chu Jiang ignored Duan Ming'en's emotions and calmly asked, "Do you know this white-haired man? Or have you ever heard of a ghost master with similar characteristics?"

Duan Ming'en shook his head slightly and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice, "No, but I guess it must be someone from Chengyi Company. It wouldn't be so easy for other people to contact me without making me overly wary."

"Fine, I'm going to post this video online. Do you have a problem with that?"

Duan Ming'en initially didn't understand why Chu Jiang would do this.

But after a moment's thought, he realized that this was both a display of strength and a warning.

Duan Ming'en nodded, "Please do as you please, I have no objection."

After saying that, he looked up at Chu Jiang and asked, "What do you plan to do with me?"

Chu Jiang stood up. "The original plan remains unchanged. You can stay here for now. Starting tomorrow, I will conduct experiments on you."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Duan Ming'en struggled to get up, but because he had been seriously injured during the day and his head was still dizzy after waking up tonight, he accidentally fell to the ground.

Despite the aggravation of his wounds, Duan Ming'en didn't utter a sound. He just gritted his teeth and crawled behind Chu Jiang, saying, "Captain Chu, give me a chance. I'm not reconciled!"

Although Chu Jiang stopped, he still kept his back to him and did not turn around. "What are you unwilling to accept?"

"I refuse to be used by Chengyi Company, I refuse to let them play with my life and trample on my dignity!"

"I'm going to get my revenge on these bastards! I'm going to slaughter them all!"

Duan Ming'en's tone had become somewhat hysterical, and by the end, it was even choked with sobs.

He used to be so confident and arrogant. He thought he would become a superior person, but reality trampled him into the mud and made him as humble as dust.

Duan Ming'en only has a few months left to live. He doesn't want to die from the resurgence of vengeful ghosts. He vows to make those people regret it.

Faced with this hopeless plea for help, Chu Jiang simply smiled softly and said, "Opportunities are not given by others, but rather depend on whether you can seize them yourself."

"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk about it after you survive. If you're alive, you have everything..."

After saying this, Chu Jiang went straight out the door and left without ever looking back.

Watching the other person leave, Duan Ming'en took a deep breath. There was still a chance. Chu Jiang's words were an indication that he was still willing to give him a chance. He had to survive; only by living could he have a future...

On this day, around midnight, a new video appeared on both domestic paranormal forums and several large international paranormal communication websites.

This video is very short and is called "Mime".

Upon clicking, people discovered it was indeed just a silent film. A black and white background, no sound effects, no subtitles, only a white-haired man seemingly giving instructions to another man.

However, the recipient seemed abnormal; he was like a puppet being manipulated, his expression stiff and numb...

The post quickly sank to the bottom at first, and not many people paid attention to it, because not everyone has the free time to read lips.

However, as soon as the first people discovered that the video was related to [Bloody Hand Chujiang] and that the content was quite sensational, the popularity of the original posts suddenly soared.

Specifically, it seems that someone wanted to send an undercover agent to Chu Jiang's side, and the methods used were rather underhanded, such as using supernatural powers to plant psychological suggestions on the undercover agent.

That's not the key point. The key point is that this process was actually reproduced in an alternative way, recorded, and spread online.

So who recorded this silent film? And who are the two men in it?

"Enthusiastic" netizens quickly began to explore on their own...

Chapter 228 The Prisoner's Dilemma

Duan Ming'en's identity was the first to be uncovered by netizens. After all, the power of the masses is great; anyone in this paranormal circle, unless they never show their face, will always have someone who recognizes them.

Not to mention that during the day, the Cheng Yi Company was carrying out a large-scale hunt for a certain ghost master, which was actually known to quite a few people, but those in the know remained silent.

Now that relevant videos have been leaked, it's natural that some people are mentioning the incident that happened during the day.

As for the white-haired man's identity, very few people knew. And those who did either remained silent or quietly sent an anonymous email to Chu Jiang's company...

Therefore, the final version compiled by people is as follows:

Duan Ming'en, a low-ranking ghost master at Cheng Yi Company, killed his superior, stole the sealing artifact, and defected to Luohe City to seek the protection of Blood Hand Chu Jiang.

Because of the alleged past conflict between the Chengyi Company and Chu Jiang, it seems that Captain Chu really did take in Duan Ming'en.

The people from Chengyi Company also backed down and dared not pursue Chujiang into his territory to demand their return.

Then came the twist: Duan Ming'en was actually a pawn arranged by Chengyi Company.

Moreover, this pawn genuinely believed he was forced into defecting. However, in reality, his perception had already been manipulated and altered by the people at Cheng Yi Company.

Finally, it seems that Chu Jiang dug up this matter, and they even recorded a video to make it public.

It has to be said that this made some ghost masters who like to watch the show and gossip extremely happy.

Some people mocked Chengyi Company, saying that this time they lost both face and substance.

Although no one knew who the white-haired man was, he was definitely related to Chengyi Company, otherwise the two sides could not have cooperated so well.

After this incident, most ghost masters, both domestic and international, were very concerned about its aftermath. Some onlookers, however, marveled at the "courage" of Cheng Yi Company, knowing full well that this guy was not to be trifled with, yet still venturing into his territory.

Fortunately, the dialogue in this silent film didn't mention killing Chu Jiang or anything like that; it only said that they needed to gather information about him. Otherwise, the two sides might have become mortal enemies.

......

Amidst the widespread discussion, Shanghai, a top-tier first-tier city in China, is also known as the "Magic City".

The headquarters of Chengyi Company is located on an artificial island in the middle of a lake in this bustling city.

On the top floor of a high-end villa on the island, two men are watching a silent film on a huge screen embedded in the wall.

After reading it, the middle-aged man on the right said in a deep voice, "You messed up. I told you long ago to stop using such petty tricks."

"What are you planning to do next? Pretend to seek peace first, to keep the other side calm?"

The white-haired man on the left was expressionless. He crossed his arms and said calmly, "I admit that the successor of Chu Qing is indeed more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

"I'm not surprised that he could spot the problem with the chess pieces."

"But I was surprised that he could actually recreate that scene. It's true that when it comes to ghosts, there's no logic to it, especially when we don't know anything about the other party."

"As for the next course of action... it's very simple: remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
