I have a ghost diary

If you received a diary that could predict the future

How would you use it?

Recalling this, Chu Jiang smiled. He was able to resist the temptation partly because the diary's predictive effects weren't quite as extreme as he thought.

He had watched an anime before called "Future Diary".

The diaries inside are truly bizarre; the one in the protagonist Amano Yukiteru's possession is called "The Diary of Indiscriminate Diary."

As the name suggests, his diary meticulously records everything that is about to happen around the protagonist, with each ten-minute interval serving as a marker.

However, this diary has a drawback: because it is written from the male protagonist's perspective, there are bound to be some oversights in the recording.

However, at the same time, the female protagonist of the anime, Yuno Gasai, possesses a book called "Yukiteru's Diary".

As the name suggests, her diary meticulously recorded everything that was about to happen to Amano Yukiteru.

Therefore, if the male and female protagonists join forces, they theoretically possess the ability to completely foresee the future.

Of course, this is only in theory...

Pulling his thoughts back, Chu Jiang focused his attention back on the diary in his hand.

Chu Jiang didn't intend to name this diary "Future Diary"; "Ghost Diary" would be more fitting.

Moreover, foresight is likely only one aspect of its abilities. If Chu Jiang is not mistaken, it also possesses the ability to seal other ghosts.

The Blood Hand Ghost was sealed on the cover of the diary.

However, Chu Jiang's act of opening the diary seemed to trigger some mechanism, causing the ghost inside to revive and try to escape.

Later, Chu Jiang was killed by the Slender Man, and the diary began to devour people.

During this process, something happened that Chu Jiang wasn't entirely aware of. Although the Blood Hand Ghost escaped, it didn't gain its freedom; instead, it entered Chu Jiang's body.

At the same time, Chu Jiang was not swallowed by the diary; instead, he was resurrected by a twist of fate.

Chu Jiang could only conclude that the Ghost Diary had encountered a bug and had not yet succeeded.

"I won't give you another chance," he muttered.

Since we cannot predict the future for the time being, is there any way to reseal the demon within me back into my diary?

Wait a minute! Chu Jiang thought of another possibility: if he fed the diary a ghost, would that count as paying a price?

He felt a bit guilty about having Chu Jiang kill someone to feed to his diary; but if he were to catch a ghost to feed to his diary, he wouldn't feel any guilt at all.

Chu Jiang became more and more excited as he thought about it. If this trick worked, he could switch careers and become a ghost hunter.

Wait, no, I'm about to die, why am I thinking about these things...?

Chu Jiang's enthusiasm immediately waned. He decided to think of a way to resolve the hidden dangers he was facing first.

Besides, ghosts aren't so easy to catch. If every ghost is as grotesque as Slender Man, you might as well find a block of tofu and smash your head against it and die.

Putting away his diary, Chu Jiang walked to the full-length mirror in the room.

He was just an ordinary high school student, with above-average looks, not bad-looking. It's just that after being possessed by a ghost, his face turned a bit pale, making him look somewhat like a pretty boy.

Looking down at his right hand, Chu Jiang silently made a decision.

He began packing his clothes and belongings in his room.

Yes, Chu Jiang is preparing to leave this home.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Teachings of the Holy Word

Chu Jiang did this, of course, not to find his biological parents.

He has no feelings for his parents who abandoned him. His mother also said that his biological parents have not contacted him in all these years, so they probably don't care about him as their son.

Chu Jiang left this time simply because he didn't want to implicate his family.

His condition was very bad today. In the middle of his sleep, his right hand became uncontrollable.

He didn't want to wake up one day to find that his entire family had been accidentally killed by his abilities; that would cause him lifelong suffering.

Moreover, Chu Jiang doesn't know how much longer he has to live, and he doesn't want to die beside his family, watching them grieve and suffer.

Finally, and most importantly, I have gained supernatural powers and entered a dangerous circle; I will probably have to deal with other people who have supernatural powers in the future.

As a result, Chu Jiang was even less willing to stay at home. They were all ordinary people, all good people, and shouldn't get involved in these supernatural things.

As for when I'll come back, I'll wait until I resolve the underlying health issues and am certain I can survive for a long time.

Finally, there's the college entrance exam, going to university... Don't be ridiculous, you're practically dying, and you still want to study?

After packing his things, Chu Jiang put on a white T-shirt and black trousers, slung his backpack over his shoulder, put on his sneakers, and walked out of the room.

Chu Jiang first wrote a long letter to his parents. The letter contained the following: when he got up in the middle of the night, he overheard his parents' conversation and learned that he was not their biological son.

I feel sad and upset about this, but I still love them and am grateful for their meticulous care over the years.

Then Chu Jiang briefly mentioned that there had been a major upheaval at the school, many people had died, he was feeling lost, and he wouldn't be able to continue his studies for a while.

So he took this opportunity to go out and work, and also to look for his biological parents. He said he would come back in the future, and asked his parents not to worry, and that his child was safe and sound.

After finishing writing it in one go, Chu Jiang placed the letter on the living room table.

Then he went to his parents' room and carefully opened the door with the spare key.

Chu Jiang sighed silently and kissed their foreheads. His parents were fast asleep.

Then Chu Jiang went to his sister's room. Chu Le was wearing pink pajamas and sleeping soundly like a little pig.

Chu Jiang smiled helplessly at this. This little sister is only sixteen years old this year. He hopes she can mature in the future. He also hopes that his parents will be taken care of by her.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang left a letter for his younger sister, then ruffled her hair and left.

Even after learning that he was not his parents' biological son, Chu Jiang still had no feelings for his younger sister.

The so-called "sister complex" is mostly a fantasy of people who "don't have sisters." People who actually have sisters, who the hell fantasizes about their sisters every day?

----------------------------

At five in the morning, walking on the quiet street, Chu Jiang pondered where to go next.

At this moment, Chu Jiang's goal was clear: he desperately wanted to know how to eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by being possessed by a ghost, and how to prolong his life.

If that's the point of view, Chu Jiang felt that they should still make contact with the two special individuals who had helped them leave the school yesterday.

Should we go directly to the police station to find them? Or...?

As he was thinking, Chu Jiang suddenly pulled a crumpled flyer out of his pocket.

This is a leaflet that the pretty blonde woman gave him last night; it seems to be from some underground religion.

Chu Jiang took it out at this moment, simply recalling what the nun had said: "It will be helpful to you."

To be honest, if it weren't for the magnanimous nun who sent it to him, Chu Jiang would have thrown the thing in the trash long ago just by seeing the words "Holy Word Sect".

There are many underground religions that scam people out of their money. They like to wear the cloak of Western Christianity. In Chu Jiang's opinion, this so-called Holy Word Cult is one of them.

I unfolded the leaflet and looked at it carefully. At the very top were the three characters "Holy Word Church," followed by a preface that roughly stated:

The end of the world is coming, and all kinds of ghosts and demons will come out to harm mankind. Only by joining the Church of the Holy Word and wholeheartedly believing in the God can mankind be saved.

After reading the preface, Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly. "Can't you come up with something new? It's always the same old thing."

Of course, given the current trend, if global ghost stories continue to worsen, such claims might actually attract quite a few believers...

Never mind, it's none of my business. Chu Jiang continued reading.

Then, speechless, he saw a long passage of English. So this thing really did come from overseas? Or was it created by some local scammers?

What Chu Jiang found most outrageous was that the English text, which took up at least half of the document, was in a fancy font.

That's right, it's Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, which looks very fancy.

With such a long text crammed together, even if Chu Jiang knew English, let alone his poor English, he would have to use a magnifying glass to decipher it for a long time.

If Chu Jiang could see that older sister from yesterday again, all he wanted to say to her was: Could you put a little more effort into your missionary work? Could you do a better job of localizing the translations? Should I introduce you to a few subtitle groups?

Ignoring the English, Chu Jiang looked down and saw a line that looked like an aphorism, complete with a bilingual version:

You shall not talk about God, nor draw his likeness, nor write his name, nor carve his likeness, nor mention his name.

Listen, God is whispering, at the end of all things...

When Chu Jiang saw this, his brows furrowed slightly.

He had initially viewed it with a lighthearted attitude, but the last few words, "no," made him realize that things might not be so simple.

These words have a mystical flavor and are quite different from those of existing religions.

Most religious deities have a clear image, and most of them are humanoid.

This not only facilitates church missionary work but also allows believers to better worship and express their wishes.

However, this Church of the Divine Word is outrageous. They don't know what God looks like, his name, or his appearance. They don't allow people to talk about Him, and they don't even allow believers to draw or sculpt Him. They are not even allowed to use nicknames or similar things.

It seems that the only way this church communicates with God is by listening to God's whispers; this is probably the origin of their church's name, Listening to the Word.

Chu Jiang glanced at it a few times, then flipped the flyer over to the other side.

To his surprise, there was actually a sentence on the back of the blank flyer, but the font was so small that he hadn't noticed it before.

This is a line of handwritten text, written as if with a fountain pen or quill pen, with elegant handwriting:

We need a holy yet wanton body to contain your sins.

This... Chu Jiang was stunned. What does this mean?

Then something even more unexpected happened to Chu Jiang: as soon as he finished reading it, the flyer vanished into thin air!

P.S.: I recommend a novel called "I, Cthulhu, in a Supernatural Everyday World".

The theme is quite similar to mine, isn't it? Those interested can check it out. Here's a brief summary:

I sat up in shock while on my deathbed, and realized that the external god was actually myself!

Lin Xiaolu is a kind-hearted, peace-loving, ordinary Japanese exchange student. After being scammed out of 40,000 yuan in a failed online romance, he became disheartened and accidentally fell into the water. After waking up from a coma, he discovered that his true form was actually an outer god from the starry sky!

After Lin Xiaolu awakened his memories of the Outer God, he soon discovered that the everyday world he lived in was becoming increasingly bizarre.
