I have a ghost diary
Page 146
This still surprised Chu Jiang quite a bit. Although theoretically, it's better for everyone to tell the team leader their abilities, as this would improve the team's final survival rate.
But everyone has their own selfish motives, and they don't completely trust Chu Jiang; they even fear him and use him as cannon fodder to scout ahead.
Therefore, most of them choose to keep their secrets hidden.
Chu Jiang saw through this mentality, so after everyone received their cards, he didn't bother to ask what their abilities were.
Of course, for a student to proactively share their abilities with Chu Jiang signifies unconditional trust and entrustment, and Chu Jiang will not let them down. If the student and the bald man were both in danger, he would definitely prioritize saving the student; that's the difference.
After the policewoman, the foreign firefighter also wanted to show Chu Jiang his abilities. He walked over, pulled a newspaper out of his backpack, and started talking incoherently while making a fire-lighting motion.
"Burning newspapers?" Chu Jiang didn't quite understand. What was the point?
Unexpectedly, the firefighter nodded repeatedly, thinking that Chu Jiang had understood, and then turned back on his own.
The self-descriptions of their abilities end here. The saleswoman holding her head, the bald man, and the skinny ghost master clearly have no intention of revealing their abilities.
Chu Jiang didn't mind, "Let's keep going."
The group stayed in Chu Jiang's ghost domain. Theoretically, Chu Jiang could use the ghost domain to fly and quickly take them to the entrance.
However, Chu Jiang was unsure whether the high-speed movement of the Ghost Realm would cause air currents on a supernatural level, so he adopted the safest approach.
Chu Jiang told everyone to stay put and not move, while he moved the Ghost Domain forward little by little.
To make it easier for everyone to observe the outside world, Chu Jiang also hid the "interior scenes" such as the city ruins.
This, in the eyes of everyone, was a truly unbelievable scene:
Even if they stand still, they are still moving forward little by little.
This time everyone was quiet and things went smoothly. Just when they were about to reach the door, the headless female corpse of the saleswoman suddenly let out another scream!
"It's happening again! It's happening again! Something chopped off my head, I could feel it."
Startled by the shout, Chu Jiang immediately stopped moving the Ghost Domain. What was going on? Were their guesses wrong? Did it have nothing to do with the wind or air currents?
Moreover, that invisible ghost could kill people even within his ghost realm, proving that the other party had already invaded, yet Chu Jiang remained completely unaware...
The saleswoman was practically in tears. "Why are you only targeting me? If I hadn't already lost my head, I would be dying again."
The skinny man looked on in panic. "Hurry up and open the door. If we delay any longer, that invisible ghost will change its target, and at least one of us will die."
"Don't panic." With only one meter left, Chu Jiang kept his composure and still didn't rush across at too fast a speed.
The policewoman offered another guess, and the saleswoman, while filled with anxiety, tried to distract herself by translating for the policewoman.
"She said that the ghost might be constantly moving, and it just happens to be hovering around me right now; as long as I create airflow in this room, and the direction of the airflow is directly facing the ghost, it will trigger the ghost to take action."
During the movement, Chu Jiang also offered his own speculation: "There is another possibility: the ghosts here don't have any physical form at all, but are just a kind of supernatural phenomenon. Therefore, we can never touch them, but as long as we trigger their killing pattern, we will definitely be beheaded by them."
As we talked, we finished walking the last meter, which was much better than just waiting.
"Who will open the door?" Chu Jiang asked without turning his head.
Just then, the policewoman who had been gradually moving over stepped forward, grasped the handle of door number two, and gestured for the others to step back.
Everyone nodded, and even those who were terrified took a few steps back.
The door opened with a twist of the wrist, revealing another room that didn't seem to have changed much. But at this moment, they had no time to think about the danger; they just wanted to get out of Room 1, where someone could die at any moment.
Chu Jiang took over the policewoman's position, dispelled the ghost domain, and was the first to enter room number 2.
Then the others followed cautiously, entering in small groups of two or three, barely daring to breathe.
Up to this point, the seven-person team could barely be considered as having survived; what happens next is anyone's guess...
Chapter 243 Death Scream
After entering room number 2, Chu Jiang immediately wanted to observe the changes in the environment.
But immediately, Chu Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and shouted, "Don't come in!"
But it seemed no one could hear him; they rushed into the room in groups of two or three. Then came a chorus of screams as most people collapsed to the ground, clutching their ears, blood streaming from them.
Even though Chu Jiang risked using the Theater Ghost Domain to envelop them, the eerie sound still managed to penetrate everyone's ears, only the volume was reduced.
"Ahhh~!"
The sound was like a scream before death, or a rhythmic song, with even undulating melodies.
And as everyone entered, the door behind them slammed shut behind them.
Aside from Chu Jiang, the two ghost masters were the quickest to react. The thin man covered his ears, his face contorted in pain. But as a pair of pale hands reached out from under his armpits and covered his ears, he seemed to feel much better.
A red hood appeared over the policewoman's head. She stood there motionless like a corpse, but her hands were lowered from beside her ears.
The others were also struggling to save themselves. The headless saleswoman chanted an ethereal and eerie melody, using her supernatural voice to fight against the supernatural voice.
A funeral procession appeared around the bald man, with men, women, and children dressed in mourning clothes, their faces blank as they scattered paper money and circled around him.
Only after a cycle was completed did he let go and lie on the ground, panting heavily.
Firefighter Paul was burning newspapers with one hand, his face contorted in pain. As the newspapers caught fire, his condition seemed to improve rapidly, and he was even able to use his other hand to continue burning.
Student Anan was probably the one who handled it the easiest. Although he also screamed and fell to the ground at first, he immediately used the ability he borrowed from the card after realizing that there was something wrong with his voice.
He immediately gained peace and quiet.
The student originally wanted to help others, but he discovered that once he expanded the area of silence, a force on the card was taking away his life force, which frightened him so much that he immediately reduced the area.
Chu Jiang's brows were deeply furrowed, but seeing that everyone had their own ways of dealing with the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and took his right hand out of the darkness of his left hand.
When it comes to methods of killing, Chu Jiang has plenty; but when it comes to methods of saving lives, he really doesn't have many.
Seeing that Chu Jiang seemed unaffected, the skinny man, though somewhat puzzled, quickly asked, "Should we rush to the next room immediately? We can't hold out like this for long."
At this moment, the skinny man was not using the card's ability, but rather his original demon master power.
But whether you use the abilities of the demons on your body or the abilities of the demons on the cards, there is a price to pay. Just like Chu Jiang borrowed supernatural powers from the Ghost Diary, he also had to bear the risk of being corrupted by demons.
So if they stay stuck in this place, the vast majority of people here will definitely die.
Room 2 looks almost identical to Room 1, even in length, with only the glowing moss on the ceiling being slightly different.
As for the supernatural power here that can kill people, it seems to be this incessant death scream.
This level of supernatural invasion is something Chu Jiang can withstand for the time being, as long as he isn't locked up in this place and never allowed to leave.
Seeing that the ghostly aura hadn't made the sound even more terrifying, Chu Jiang made a quick decision, "Let's go!"
He used the Ghost Domain to make everyone "fly" at an extremely fast speed.
Unexpectedly, before Chu Jiang had gone very far, another wave of screams erupted from within the Ghost Realm, even more intense than before.
This caused Chu Jiang to immediately slam on the brakes. He realized that the faster he moved here, the more terrifying the death scream would become.
The sudden acceleration was so powerful that even Chu Jiang felt his head explode and blood flowed from his ears. Not to mention the others, they would probably be completely overwhelmed.
Only after Chu Jiang stopped could their "defense" be barely rebuilt.
"No, no," the bald man cried weakly as he lay on the ground, dizzy. "Take it one step at a time, slowly."
Chu Jiang nodded in agreement.
Although the room was only twenty meters long, walking that distance was much more painful than walking through the previous room.
Not only were they injured, but they were also forced to continuously use their supernatural powers. Even if they managed to get through this room, they would be in a very bad state when they entered the next one.
Keep in mind that this is only room number 2, and there are five more rooms behind it. If the supernatural power in each room continues to grow more and more terrifying, can they really survive?
Many people have begun to despair...
After finally making it to the door of room number 3, the skinny man hurriedly stepped forward to open the door and then backed away.
When the door opened, everyone saw that it was another room that had hardly changed.
But who knows what methods of killing are used inside? Like in room number 2, there's no specific pattern to the killings; it's completely indiscriminate killing.
Before entering, Chu Jiang asked, "Didn't you hear me tell you not to come in?"
Everyone shook their heads. The student said, "After you went in, you kept your back to us and observed the surroundings."
"That's terrible. When we're not in the same room, what we see might not be real."
Chu Jiang had no choice but to say, "I'll go in first, and it's up to you whether you come in or not."
After saying that, Chu Jiang resolutely stepped into room number 3.
The others could only manage a bitter smile. Was there any way out at this point? Going forward or backward meant certain death, but at least there was a glimmer of hope ahead, right...?
A few seconds after Chu Jiang went in, everyone saw that he was still facing away from them, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.
Upon entering room number 3, the damned screams that seemed to pierce the very soul finally stopped.
However, no one dared to put away their means of self-preservation for the time being, because they still did not know what the danger in Room 3 was.
"How is it, Captain? Can you tell what the danger is here?" The bald man was pale, and he felt his body temperature dropping and his heartbeat slowing down.
It seems that in a little while, he will become one of the members of these funeral processions around him.
Chu Jiang didn't even turn his head. He just said coldly, "Don't you have eyes? Look for yourself. Don't always think about relying on me. I don't owe you anything."
Upon hearing this, the bald man paused for a moment, even wondering if Chu Jiang was being affected by the ghostly presence in the room.
Although the other party had been rather cold before, their attitude wasn't this ruthless, and their words weren't this aggressive.
Chapter 244 The Unpredictability of Human Hearts
"Captain, are you alright?"
The bald man noticed that even the students couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up for them, saying, "I understand you're under a lot of pressure, but it's still not good for you to say it like that."
The policewoman, speaking broken English, asked Chu Jiang if he was being affected by the ghost in the room.
Chu Jiang simply waved his hand, his attitude towards the two men seemingly quite friendly. "I'm fine. I've just figured it out. This bald guy didn't trust me from the start, so there's no need for me to be so polite to him."
"Alright, alright, since no danger has been detected for the time being, everyone should put away their supernatural powers."
"We still have a long way to go, and we can't afford to be worn down here," the skinny man said, trying to smooth things over. He seemed reluctant to let the team have any disputes at this point.
