I have a ghost diary

Chapter 237 The Ghost on the Card

Although there was no moon in the sky, there was a dim, cold light in front of the castle.

Standing in front of the gate, you can see that the seven cards are not placed in a particularly high position; they are all at a height where you can reach out and pick them up.

Chu Jiang then looked at the others and asked, "Who wants to be the first?"

Everyone here has tried to remove the cards before. Although they couldn't remove them, there was no danger.

Now that everyone's here, anything can happen.

They exchanged glances, all somewhat hesitant. The two foreigners couldn't understand, so the saleswoman translated for them, mostly using single words and unable to translate a complete sentence fluently.

The policewoman was the first to raise her hand; she looked calm and didn't seem very afraid.

So Chu Jiang nodded and stepped aside.

The first person to try always takes risks, but they may also reap benefits that later generations don't; it's all a gamble.

The policewoman took the second card, which she could easily remove this time, and carefully turned the card over.

The card depicts a lifelike ghost bride.

The bride was wearing a traditional bright red wedding dress, with a red veil covering her head and her hands folded in front of her.

Its hands were pale, with bright red fingernails, and it stood in front of a dark red bridal sedan chair...

There aren't many scary elements on the card; the bride's true face isn't even revealed under the phoenix crown.

However, everyone who saw this card was instinctively startled, feeling that the bride on the card gave off an eerie, sinister, and terrifying feeling.

Even Chu Jiang subconsciously felt a chill run down his spine. This thing was definitely dangerous; if it appeared here, countless people would die.

The policewoman was the closest one. After she turned over the card, she stiffened up and there was an undisguised look of fear in her eyes.

She felt that the thing on the card was "alive," or more accurately, not just a picture.

Everyone instinctively moved away from the policewoman, but Chu Jiang asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing Chu Jiang's voice, the policewoman stiffly raised her head. Without needing a translator, she shook her head, indicating that she was alright, just a little frightened.

Another noteworthy point is that the backs of the cards are all dark gray, but the borders on the front are purple, a somewhat eerie purple.

"Can I take a look?" Chu Jiang held out his hand.

The policewoman nodded and handed it over, but Chu Jiang took the card and the policewoman did not let go.

Just as Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised, the policewoman said something in Japanese with a panicked expression. She tried to shake her hand off, but couldn't, as if it was "stuck" to the card.

Then she said in English, which actually conveyed the same meaning: once she got her hands on this thing, it seemed like she couldn't leave her body.

Chu Jiang examined the card closely but didn't find anything wrong with it, so he let go and told the other person not to panic.

"Who's next?" Chu Jiang asked, looking at the others.

Now, there aren't any willing participants left. After all, they've all seen what happened to the policewoman. If this thing were to stick to you for the rest of your life, how could you possibly sleep?

"Then I'll do it." Chu Jiang stepped forward nonchalantly and took down the first one.

Of course, he had tried pushing the door before, but the metal door didn't budge.

Chu Jiang flipped over his card, and then his pupils suddenly contracted!

The card depicts a black sun with a black-clad boy at its center, surrounded by a black halo of flames, gazing outwards with a cold expression.

Moreover, the card not only depicted an image, but Chu Jiang could even feel the scorching heat mixed with a chilling aura, an aura that sent shivers down his spine just by sensing it.

Chu Jiang was all too familiar with this aura, but why was it like this?! How could the Black Sun be here? It should still be sealed inside the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall...

Since Chu Jiang didn't try to hide it, even though the others were some distance away, they could still see the cards in Chu Jiang's hand by standing on tiptoe.

Upon seeing the black sun, the skinny man was so frightened he nearly fell to the ground. He practically tumbled several times as he rolled away. "This...this is that S-class vengeful ghost? Captain Chu, didn't you seal it away?"

Although the others were all frightened because they didn't understand, none of them reacted as dramatically as the skinny man. Only the policewoman took several steps back in terror.

The performance of these two further widened the gap between the remaining four and Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang couldn't care less about them at this moment; he flipped the cards over and over to look at them.

The border of this item is dark black, which is different from the one the policewoman had. Moreover, Chu Jiang vaguely sensed something: he seemed to be able to temporarily borrow some of the power of the Black Sun through this card.

The main reason is that his ghost diary has a similar function, and he is very familiar with that feeling.

But Chu Jiang was not happy at all; how could there be such a good thing as a pie falling from the sky?

They inexplicably send you to a dangerous area, and then give each of you a powerful sealing artifact for free? Don't be ridiculous, there must be a huge trap or hidden danger lurking in there.

Before Chu Jiang could figure this out, a terrifying tiger's roar suddenly rang out from his body!

As the sound rang out, the card in Chu Jiang's hand vibrated violently, and then something incredible happened.

The black sun on the card disappeared inch by inch, and in its place appeared a white tiger with black stripes on its body.

This white tiger is so lifelike that it seems to be crouching inside a large bronze artifact. It looks majestic and imposing, yet also gives off a cold and eerie feeling.

Especially those blood-red eyes; the longer you look into them, the more you become captivated; it's as if, after gazing at them for a while, you'll unconditionally become their slave, willing to do anything for them...

Chu Jiang glanced at it briefly before forcing himself to look away.

The others were all far away and therefore unaware of the changes on Chu Jiang's side. However, they all heard the tiger's roar emanating from Chu Jiang and were completely confused about what had happened.

Let alone them, even Chu Jiang himself was bewildered. What was going on? Had someone usurped his place?

Could it be that having cards is actually a good thing? Otherwise, why would the White Tiger Demon residing in him suddenly roar and change the card's appearance?

After racking his brains for a while, Chu Jiang still couldn't figure it out. He could only guess that it was related to what he was about to experience.

"Don't be too scared. My situation is the same as the policewoman's. Ghosts won't come out."

Chapter 238 Extraction Complete

After saying that, Chu Jiang added, "And I think this might be a life-saving item after entering the castle."

"Because I can draw upon a portion of the power of this demon on the card."

It's necessary to explain this beforehand; if they only discover this after they've gone inside, it might be too late.

The others were initially incredulous upon hearing this, and they turned their gaze to the policewoman, who hadn't mentioned this before.

The policewoman was a little confused, so the saleswoman gestured while asking in English.

It took the policewoman a lot of effort to understand, and then she nodded and shook her head, looking somewhat unsure.

But Chu Jiang didn't care about their opinions. "Who's next? Don't waste time."

Seeing this, the skinny man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it."

He knew very well that he couldn't leave this hellish place without entering the castle; even knowing that removing the card was risky, he had to go.

The skinny man took the seventh card from the bottom. When he turned it over, he saw that the card depicted a tombstone.

The inscription on the tombstone was faded, and it stood in front of a grave that looked quite old.

Although it gives off a sinister vibe, overall, the eeriness isn't as intense as the ghosts on the previous two cards.

By the way, the border of his card is gray and white.

This results in three colors for the card borders, with black seemingly ranking higher than purple, which in turn ranks higher than white in terms of danger level.

After receiving his card, the skinny man naturally tried to sense what Chu Jiang had just said.

Then he strangely discovered that he seemed to be able to borrow a part of the ghost's power, but he needed to think deeply and sense deeply to understand it, and he couldn't know it immediately as soon as he started.

"Next one, don't delay any longer, the longer you drag it out, the more likely something unexpected will happen." This time, Chu Jiang didn't even need to urge him; the thin man spontaneously started urging the next person.

Seeing that the remaining four people did not move, the thin man pointed directly at the student and said, "You come here."

The student opened his mouth, wanting to refuse but unable to, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

Moreover, he noticed that the cards the skinny man had seemed less dangerous, so he started picking up the bottom cards as well.

Turn the card over and you'll see a pale human skull depicted on it.

Most peculiarly, the skull had a piece of hardwood in its mouth.

The border of this card is also gray and white.

The student nervously took two steps back after showing the other students the card in his hand.

Seeing this, Chu Jiang asked the skinny man to teach him. Ordinary people should also be able to borrow some of the power of the cards, otherwise it would be meaningless for them to obtain these things.

Furthermore, in the real world, there is no rule that only demon masters can use sealed artifacts; it mainly depends on how they are used.

The skinny man nodded and accepted the task, while Chu Jiang directly called out to the bald man to come forward and take his card.

Since the skinny man revealed Chu Jiang's identity, the bald man has become less arrogant and has remained silent.

When Chu Jiang designated him, he did not refuse. He simply stepped forward expressionlessly and started taking cards from the bottom.

The "good luck" of the two people in front of him made the bald man feel that the ones below were not so dangerous.

Chu Jiang guessed that drawing a white card would have both advantages and disadvantages, as it would prevent them from using overly powerful forces later on.

Of course, at the same time, they may encounter less danger.

However, these are all just speculations at the moment; we'll only know the specifics once we enter the castle.

The card the bald man received also had a white border. It depicted a funeral procession, with both men and women dressed in mourning clothes, their faces expressionless. The ground was littered with paper money, and someone in the procession was carrying a coffin...

The funeral procession is quite impactful, as if the characters could step out of the card and into the real world at any moment.

The bald man also voluntarily showed his cards to the others.

Just then, the saleswoman stepped forward quickly and said, "I'll go next."

She understood that there were only two cards left, and according to the previous pattern, the bottom card was definitely better than the top card. So, after seeing the result, she immediately took the initiative.

The remaining firefighters seemed to have no objection, but they still looked worried.

Choose the card below, take it down and flip it over. The saleswoman almost cried out! It wasn't a card with a gray and white border, but red. This was the fourth color that had never appeared before.
