I have a ghost diary

What exactly is going on? The saleswoman looked at the other people and then realized that something was even more wrong.

The policewoman moved very slowly, as if she were moving at ten times the normal speed.

She turned her head slightly, observing her surroundings, seemingly unaware that Chu Jiang had already circled everyone and disappeared.

The saleswoman then looked at the other two people, and the firefighter mumbled a long string of things very quickly.

Because the person was speaking so fast, the saleswoman could only barely make out what they were saying. It sounded like they were praying to God, and they even used words like hell, Greek mythology, and the underworld...

Before they could finish speaking, the firefighters started walking around, circling, shouting, and jumping around the group, which seemed incredibly unbelievable.

As for the skinny man, he remained completely still, as if he had transformed into a human statue.

Over there, seeing that only the saleswoman could barely keep up with his speed and was constantly turning to look at him, he "flashed" in front of her and pointed to a spot on the ground ahead, shouting, "Here! Here!"

The firefighter seemed to deliberately slow down his speech so that the saleswoman could hear him clearly.

Looking in the direction the firefighter was pointing, the saleswoman noticed a line of text left on the ground in Chinese characters:

I am Chu Jiang, and something is very wrong with this place! I didn't notice it at first, but after you came in, I realized that the flow of time is different for everyone.

I was the fastest, I don't even know how many times faster, but when you came in, I saw you all just standing there dumbfounded. I greeted you, but you didn't say a word.

......

Before the saleswoman could finish reading, Chu Jiang reappeared in a flash, picked up the firefighter, and then disappeared again.

This left the saleswoman somewhat bewildered. She hurriedly read the text, otherwise, before she could finish, Chu Jiang would probably take everyone away from there.

......

Paul was the second fastest, but he could only barely see my movements and couldn't even hear my voice, so I could only leave words on the ground to remind him.

As for the others, let's not even talk about them; they were all slower than the others.

I can't just wait here. This is no longer a room; it's a boundless world. This means that finding room number 5 will become much more difficult. I'll go check things out first.

If there's anything I want to say to you, I'll... never mind, it's pointless. By the time you've finished reading, I'll have done everything I needed to do.

The saleswoman, upon seeing this, realized she was being carried away at an incredibly fast pace, barely able to make out the things on either side of her. And because of the continuous high speed, some "gravel" was being blown onto her by the wind, making her feel... no, she couldn't feel the pain anymore.

When the saleswoman could see clearly again, she found herself in an old, dark temple. There were towering stone pillars, the style of which was similar to that of ancient Egypt or ancient Greece.

There are some murals on the walls, in an abstract style, depicting ancient humans worshipping some kind of symbol, which looks like an hourglass.

Inside the temple, Chu Jiang and the firefighters were also there. Chu Jiang's hair had grown longer, and he had a beard.

The firefighters were generally okay, except that their clothes were worn out in some places.

Seeing the saleswoman stand up normally, Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The situation is complicated now. The three of us have finally synchronized our time, but it's only within this temple."

"Next, you need to bring Miss Michiko over, and then Michiko will bring Zheng Xiaodao over."

The saleswoman didn't understand. "Why don't you go? Time flows the fastest for you. Even if you move one person at a time, it's still fast for you... no, it's normal speed for you, just relatively fast for us."

Chu Jiang calmly asked, "Who do you think brought you here just now?"

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, "You...no, no, you're Paul?"

Paul nodded repeatedly upon hearing his name called. Previously, he had only been able to communicate with Chu Jiang through gestures; thankfully, what Chu Jiang was trying to express wasn't complicated, otherwise he might not have understood.

"That's right. As you said, my speed is terrifyingly fast compared to yours."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if I moved Zheng Xiaodao, who has the slowest time flow, over here right now?"

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. "I see. You can't even touch Zheng Xiaodao, otherwise it will cause him great harm."

"Because the difference in the flow of time between you is so enormous. When you slap him, it's equivalent to Zheng Xiaodao being hit by a heavy blow that travels at near the speed of light in an instant."

"In that case, it will be even less likely that you will be able to carry him. You'll probably not even be able to take him a few steps before his body is worn down and destroyed due to his terrifying speed of movement."

"It's like a meteorite falling from the sky. Their bodies are originally very large, but due to their extremely high speed, they shrink continuously as they rub against the atmosphere."

"In the end, very few meteorites actually make it to the ground; most are destroyed during the descent."

“Yes.” Chu Jiang nodded. It was a terrifying process. Although the saleswoman’s description was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, it would still be horrifying for any normal person to think about. This was one of the reasons why two beings from different dimensions could not be touched casually.

Chu Jiang almost made this mistake at the very beginning. Fortunately, he touched the faster firefighter first. If it had been the skinny man, he probably would have been seriously injured.

Chapter 250 Scapegoat

After realizing what was happening, the saleswoman didn't ask too many questions. She simply left the temple after Chu Jiang told her the directions, preparing to move the policewoman Michiko over.

Seeing that the saleswoman hadn't noticed anything, Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

In the nearly one month that followed, he wasn't idle. Or rather, he had done what he was supposed to do for the saleswoman.

This person has always been a potential threat, but since she still retains human thinking, Chu Jiang can't just kill her whenever he wants.

So in the end, Chu Jiang left a hidden trick on her.

If the saleswoman suddenly loses her mind and becomes a vengeful ghost during the subsequent exploration, Chu Jiang has ways to counter her and prevent the team from being wiped out.

Speaking of the past month, Chu Jiang really didn't know what to say; he had been further corrupted by the vengeful ghost.

To be precise, the power of Chu Zombie awakened further within him.

Originally, Chu Jiang could only turn his two hands into zombie hands, but now it has spread to his two forearms and all the way to his elbows.

Why is this so?

Because Chu Jiang had not eaten or drunk anything for nearly a month, or rather, had nothing to eat or drink, the power of his bloodline spontaneously emerged to ensure that the host did not die of hunger and thirst, continuing to transform his body.

Chu Jiang never expected that he could further tap into the power of his bloodline through this method.

But thinking about it, it makes perfect sense, because if a person wants to survive without eating or drinking, they would have to transform further into a ghost.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chu Jiang has officially entered the transformation process. If he were still a student and had not yet awakened, he would only starve to death if he did not eat or drink.

Moreover, the power of Chu Jiang stopped after reaching his elbow, meaning that this method could only help Chu Jiang advance to this level.

If it were to spread to the shoulders, and even the upper body, head, and lower body, it would likely require more danger and more external supernatural stimuli.

However, Chu Jiang did not want this process to be too fast. After all, he did not actually inherit the knowledge of the Chu Zhan lineage, and he did not know what he would become after being completely transformed into a vengeful ghost.

Although the old man said that Chu Jiang's final form would still retain the thoughts and rationality he had when he was alive, Chu Jiang still wanted to be more cautious.

......

As for hunger, the firefighter was alright. Although he felt that he had been hungry for almost a day and needed to replenish his food and water, he could generally hold on.

Needless to say, the most bewildered person would probably be the skinny man, if he manages to reach the temple safely.

Speaking of the temple, it was only after Chu Jiang entered this desert and went through many troubles, activating several altars that required supernatural power to open, that it appeared out of thin air in this desert.

He didn't know at first that this place could synchronize everyone's time; he only found out after bringing the firefighters over to try it out.

Moreover, if they want to leave this place and go to the next room, they probably have no choice but to try something from this temple.

By the way, the real danger in Room 4 hasn't appeared yet. As for the different time flow, Chu Jiang thinks it's probably just an appetizer, so he didn't rush to explore the next level of the temple.

Yes, the temple has an underground section, and Chu Jiang plans to gather everyone before heading there.

......

After a period of relaying back and forth, the five survivors in the team finally gathered in the temple.

However... the skinny man suffered very serious injuries.

Even Chu Jiang hadn't anticipated that the skinny man's time flow was terrifyingly slow.

Even when the policewoman moved him, and even though she tried to slow down as much as possible, the thin man still showed signs of being burned to a crisp halfway through.

At this point, sending him back to where he started would only make things worse, and staying halfway through was also not a solution. So the policewoman had no choice but to grit her teeth and carry him to the temple bit by bit.

When they finally arrived at the temple, the skinny man, Zheng Xiaodao, was on his last breath.

This made Chu Jiang retract his "appetizer" comment. The different flow of time seemed to be random, and he could only be thankful that he wasn't the one who was the slowest.

As for the others, they should be thankful that they weren't the ones who got the fastest turn. Because apart from the saleswomen who could go a month without eating or drinking, even if the others got the fastest turn, they would still die.

Oh no, as long as you're willing to eat them, using other people as food, you could last for a month. And because other people's lifespan is slower than yours, you don't even have to worry about the meat rotting...

Lying inside the temple, the thin man could no longer even open his eyes.

From the skinny man's perspective, as soon as he entered room number 4, he saw a dark and desolate desert world.

Before he could even observe his surroundings, he felt excruciating pain all over his body and instantly entered a state of near death. If he hadn't been a ghost master, he would have already lost his breath.

The skinny man was unaware of all that had happened during this time. He only felt that the danger in room number 4 was far more terrifying than he had imagined, and he didn't even have time to react.

But no matter what, Zheng Xiaodao was unwilling to die like this! So he gritted his teeth and chose to walk that path, the path he had never dared to take before...

Inside the temple, the crowd surrounded the charred, thin man, but no one spoke; the atmosphere was heavy.

In the end, the saleswoman looked at Chu Jiang indifferently and said, "Let's go, he's doomed, don't worry about him."

Before Chu Jiang could answer, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene: the thin man stopped breathing, but just a few seconds later, he suddenly sat up straight.

The thin man opened his eyes, but his gaze was lifeless and gloomy, devoid of any human spirit.

The firefighter was so frightened that he hid behind the policewoman, while Chu Jiang frowned slightly, "Zheng Xiaodao? Are you a human or a ghost now?"

"I guess that's a ghost story." He said, stiffly standing up. "Does anyone have any spare clothes they could give me?"

As he spoke, he brushed away the charred remains from his body, and his body beneath the remains seemed to have been restored.

"I have the clothes, but you need to explain first, otherwise I won't feel at ease traveling with a ghost."

The skinny man gave an awkward smile. "Isn't there already one? Adding me won't make much difference, will it?"

Of course, even after saying that, the skinny man still explained it to Chu Jiang. After all, he was still retaining human rationality, and whether he could maintain it permanently was something even he himself wasn't sure about.

Have you ever heard of a scapegoat?

Chu Jiang nodded. "This is a folk saying that some people who die a violent death are often trapped in a certain place after they become ghosts, unable to be reincarnated."

"For example, the most common one is the water ghost that drowned in the river."

"If this kind of ghost wants to be reincarnated, it can only harm people. It kills innocent living people and becomes a ghost, so that the old ghost can be reincarnated."

"And the new ghost can only be trapped in the same place, waiting to harm the next innocent person."
