It seems the Ghost Buddha really didn't come out. I wonder if it was restricted by some rules, which prevented it from returning the red embroidered ball to Chu Jiang.

Moreover, on the distant highway, an old-fashioned red taxi slowly drove by, seemingly to pick up Chu Jiang and leave.

In another direction, a subway train actually came up from underground along the highway, seemingly to pick up the policewoman.

There was also a fire truck behind Paul, but he didn't get in. He had been waiting here for Chu Jiang and the others to come out ever since he left the castle.

First, hand the baby to Paul so he can help with CPR, while Chu Jiang nervously turns back to look at the castle.

At this moment of high alert, Chu Jiang even rummaged through his body and actually pulled out a card with a white tiger depicted on it.

Is the fact that this thing didn't disappear because he didn't leave in a normal way related to that?

In short, Chu Jiang had another reason not to die. If he died, the White Tiger would be freed, and that being was equivalent in power to the Black Sun.

Just as Chu Jiang made up his mind to leave if "that guy" hadn't come out in five minutes, he saw black chains of hell iron pierce through the metal door, and some viscous black blood seeping out from the cracks...

Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The Ghost Diary had been released, but if it was so powerful in the diary, who could control it now that it was out in the open?

Just as Chu Jiang had predicted, although the door was not opened, the Ghost Diary still managed to squeeze out. It flew back to Chu Jiang, withdrew all its supernatural powers, and crashed to the ground with a thud.

It's like saying, "You'll never get rid of me in this lifetime."

Shaking his head, Chu Jiang picked up the diary and put it away. He really should leave now, otherwise who knows what might happen.

Paul had already "revived" the baby; as a firefighter, he had also received first aid training.

Paul's expression was still somewhat worried. The baby seemed much weaker than when it was inside, and he wondered what it had been through.

Chu Jiang turned around and, seeing that Michiko was alright for the time being, took her in his arms and picked her up.

"Go on, you should take a bus back to your country. Get less involved in these things in the future, and you'll live a few more years."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang retrieved the shattered hat from Paul's head. Fortunately, Paul didn't appear directly in the real world, otherwise Chu Jiang might have had to cross borders to find him and retrieve the hat.

Although Paul couldn't understand, he understood what Chu Jiang meant when he pointed to the fire truck and then to the taxi.

This experience was unforgettable for Paul. He gave Chu Jiang his phone number and mumbled a bunch of things in English.

Chu Jiang simply nodded, which most likely meant that they could keep in touch after they got out.

However, Chu Jiang would not do this on his own initiative. Unless necessary, it is better for ordinary people to have less contact with him.

Of course, afterwards Chu Jiang would have the staff from the research institute speak with Paul privately.

After being possessed by a ghost, his physical condition is not good now. It would be best to find an official institution in his country to treat his body.

Watching the firefighters get into the fire truck, wave goodbye, and eventually drive away.

Chu Jiang looked at the taxi that had come to pick him up. It seemed to be the same one he had ridden in the first time. The song "Night Fragrance" was still playing in the car.

"Night-blooming jasmine, I sing for you; night-blooming jasmine, I think of you~?"

"..."

Chapter 263 Kidnapping Ghost Rental

Chu Jiang, holding the baby, opened the door, got in, and was already eyeing this treacherous taxi. He was determined to kidnap it when they got out.

As for Michiko, Chu Jiang couldn't possibly just throw her onto the subway and let her go home on her own.

Putting aside any possibility of accidents during the process, even if she returns to the island nation, probably no one will recognize her anymore.

Furthermore, Chu Jiang didn't know if Michiko still had any memories of her past. If she didn't, and if the ghost inside her were to cause trouble again, everything would become very complicated.

Therefore, the safest approach is to bring her back to Luohe City and then have the research institute contact the official agencies of the island nation.

Although Michiko never claimed to be an official demon master, given that she is a police officer, it's highly likely she is.

As for the changes that had occurred to the baby before... Chu Jiang suspected they were related to the ghost bride.

Or rather, the ghost bride has been resurrected to some extent, but not completely, so the baby remains in the castle and has not been sent out.

The strangest thing is that the ghost bride can actually influence Michiko in return.

This made Chu Jiang wary of the White Tiger card he still possessed. Could it be that one day, the White Tiger might be able to forcibly control his body?

Furthermore, Baihu already possesses the ability of the [Changgui] type, so Chu Jiang cannot afford to be careless.

It's worth mentioning that after leaving that gloomy castle, the cards were no longer unable to leave the body.

So Chu Jiang temporarily threw the card into the sealed ceramic jar and attached a peace charm to it.

As for sealing it into the Ghost Diary, that's impossible, because the cards themselves are a special type of sealed object. How could you seal an object inside another sealed object? That's even more absurd than sealing a person inside.

......

This time, Chu Jiang still sat in the back seat, so that if another ghost got on halfway and there was nowhere to hide, he wouldn't have to.

With him gone, the red embroidered ball was essentially gone.

But there was nothing he could do. Although this thing was very useful, his life was ultimately more important. It had completed its historical mission, and perhaps when Chu Jiang became even stronger in the future, he could return to the Ghost Buddha to reclaim the Red Embroidered Ball.

After observing from inside the car, Chu Jiang noticed that the dent he had made on the taxi door had healed.

Everything else seemed fine, so he contacted the operator, Chen Yuting.

Upon contacting him, I learned that he had been missing for three days.

To be honest, Chu Jiang wasn't particularly surprised, because the prophecy in the Ghost Diary included the date and clearly stated that today was his birthday.

Chu Jiang organized his thoughts and recounted his bizarre experience to Chen Yuting.

Furthermore, he inquired about all the paranormal events that had occurred in the country in recent days; among these events, he indeed found traces of the "silent ghost" and the "funeral procession".

As for the headless monk, it seems there has been no record of him. It's possible that he wasn't recorded by the research institute, or that it happened abroad.

When Chen Yuting was creating the file, she was both surprised by Chu Jiang's experience and slightly worried, and told him something.

The recent resurgence of paranormal activity seems to be intensifying, as if the entire world has entered a period of explosive growth, resulting in significant staff losses for official agencies in various countries.

Moreover, while the situation is relatively well-controlled domestically, public opinion abroad is gradually becoming uncontrollable. After all, information dissemination is so advanced in this era, and the whole world is shrouded in an atmosphere of impending storm...

Chu Jiang also sighed at this, but he did not yet have the ability to save the world.

After all, his personal strength is limited. His greatest wish is to protect his own little territory and his family and friends.

No, Chu Jiang's greatest wish was actually for the supernatural resurgence to end completely. He even missed the days when he was just an ordinary person.

However, because this goal is incredibly difficult to achieve, Chu Jiang can only say that he is working towards it.

Before achieving this ultimate goal, Chu Jiang will prioritize his own survival and the survival of those around him.

The ancients said that cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world are all essentially the same.

Chu Jiang didn't want to govern any of the vassal states, but he genuinely hoped for peace throughout the land.

By the way, I also hope that Research Institute No. 21 can find some results from Zhang Haoran's research. His existence and his special nature seem to be unprecedented worldwide.

Regarding Chu Jiang's background...

It would be a lie for Chu Jiang to say he wasn't curious, but he never had much affection for his biological parents who had abandoned him, which is why he didn't deliberately try to find them.

Although he released a video of his hands last time, it didn't attract the Chu family to recognize him. He doesn't know if he's the only living person left in the Chu lineage.

So all we can say is to let fate decide. Whether the mystery of his origins can be solved or not will not affect Chu Jiang's will or the path he will take in the future.

......

After completing the archives about the castle, Chu Jiang even felt that it couldn't be called a castle.

When Chu Jiang left earlier, he looked back from the taxi and the place seemed to gradually change into something else, like a gloomy and silent Buddhist temple.

In short, its appearance doesn't seem to be fixed, and Chu Jiang might not even see the same ghosts or the same people the next time he goes in.

The origin of this mysterious building and who built it remain a complete mystery.

......

It took quite a while to get there, but the return trip was quick. Chu Jiang felt that about twenty minutes later, the ghost taxi left the endless, dark road and drove into populated territory.

Although it is still night now, it will be night three days later.

Although Chu Jiang didn't say the destination, it seemed that the ghost taxi was heading towards Tianfeng Building, which was the address where Chu Jiang got in the car earlier.

Chu Jiang first made a phone call, asking his assistant Li Xiaolang, who lived at the company, to come down.

......

When the taxi slowly pulled up to the side of the road, Li Xiaolang was already waiting in the designated spot.

After the car door opened by itself, Chu Jiang handed the baby to him first, but did not get out of the car himself.

Moreover, to prevent the ghost taxi from throwing him out of the car again, Chu Jiang proactively extended his right hand and placed it on the driver's seat.

A large amount of blood gushed from his palm, spreading wildly across the entire vehicle with an overwhelming force.

As soon as Chu Jiang began his attack, that cold hand reached out from behind him again, but Chu Jiang, who had anticipated this, quickly grabbed the hand and clamped it tightly.

Now, even if the taxi driver wanted Chu Jiang to get out of the car, it would be impossible for him to do so unless he voluntarily let go.

Chapter 264 #Woman Falls in Love with Boss Right After Starting Job and Gets Scammed Out of 180,000 Yuan#

Therefore, in paranormal events, it is extremely important to discover the patterns of murder and behavior.

When Chu Jiang first got into the car, although he had some ideas about the ghost taxi, he was cautious in every way, afraid that he would crash in the gutter.

But after testing him and realizing that the ghost taxi posed no significant threat to him, he suddenly became ferocious.

Turning halfway around, Chu Jiang could see that the hand was reaching out from the trunk, and it was so long that it looked like there was a corpse hidden in the trunk.

Furthermore, while this cold hand can severely affect the body of a living person, it has almost no effect on Chu Zang's Hand.

After Chu Jiang clamped down on the other party, the car engine emitted a painful wheezing sound, like the groan of a dying man, and the wheels accelerated.

Ghosts don't feel pain, of course; this car made a similar sound before. Moreover, its wheels accelerated, not to throw Chu Jiang off, but more like to drive the car somewhere and crash it into a wall to kill him.

Despite the increasingly strong stench of death inside the car, Chu Jiang remained unfazed. He did not further attack the ghost hidden inside the car, but simply held it firmly in place, preventing it from resisting.

No matter how much the wheels turned, it was useless; the Blood Hand Ghost's blood had already rapidly invaded the engine and wheels, and the entire car even floated into the air.
