I have a ghost diary

After dispelling the ghost domain and returning to his office, Duan Ming'en was visibly stunned. Was that all?

He had imagined he would suffer inhuman torture, and he hadn't slept a wink last night. But to his surprise, when the experiment actually started, he was completely bewildered and it all ended there.

Although he still carries a curse...

"Do you think you have more months to live?" Chu Jiang sat behind his desk, calmly looking at the ghost master.

From the sparring just now, Chu Jiang could also see that Duan Ming'en was in very bad shape; his body had been largely eroded by the burrowing ghost.

"No more than two months, maybe even less," Duan Ming'en answered honestly.

"So if you survive this experiment, I can let you go to headquarters to transplant a second ghost, in my name. Of course, if you die during the transplant, then you're dead."

Duan Ming'en was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Captain!"

Duan Ming'en was well aware of the risks involved in the transplant process, but he didn't care; what he lacked was the opportunity.

Folk exorcists who choose the path of "balance" often find it very difficult to find suitable ghosts, and more often than not, they are risking their lives.

Some ghost masters can't even get their hands on a sealed ghost, let alone be picky.

Only by joining a large organization can one dare to say how confident they are.

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Duan Ming'en nodded vigorously, "Since Captain Chu is willing to give me a chance, then I will naturally repay you."

"Furthermore, my feud with Chengyi Company will not involve you or the local branch. Right now, I just want to survive. Only when I become truly powerful will I be qualified to take revenge on those people."

"And then what?" Chu Jiang continued to ask.

“I am still your man, and you can order me around to do anything,” Duan Ming’en said firmly.

Chu Jiang simply said calmly, "It's too far off to talk about that. Let's focus on surviving first."

"By the way, you should have some contact with the underground black market for buying and selling ghosts, right? In the next few days, help me buy a few ghosts. It doesn't matter what kind of ghosts they are, as long as they are cheap and easy to find."

"Try to pay with money. If the other party refuses, you can add some supernatural props produced by the research institute."

"Specifically, you, my assistant, and the finance department will discuss and have them provide you with the necessary funds and resources for procurement."

Duan Ming'en didn't quite understand why Chu Jiang wanted to do this, but he still nodded, "By the way, I didn't work for Chengyi Company for nothing. I have a ghost that I secretly sealed and hid. Can I get it for the captain first?"

"What kind of ghost?" Chu Jiang did not refuse.

"It's just a hanged ghost. It's dangerous to ordinary people, but it shouldn't pose any threat to you."

"Okay, go get it."

......

For the next two weeks, Chu Jiang kept observing his and Duan Ming'en's situation.

A few days ago, Duan Ming'en was alright, barely normal, except for his negative remarks.

On Chu Jiang's side, the cursed female ghost was gradually emerging from the diary and showing a tendency to invade his body.

In the last second of the seventh day, Duan Ming'en did not die, but his negative state became more severe, and he even thought about lying down and waiting to die.

Then come the eighth, ninth, and tenth days.

Duan Ming'en is still alive, but his condition is getting worse. Sometimes he won't even answer Chu Jiang's questions.

By the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days, Duan Ming'en had become completely withdrawn.

If his body hadn't been so severely corrupted by the ghosts that he wouldn't die naturally so easily, he probably would have died from not eating, drinking, or sleeping.

On the fourteenth day, Chu Jiang announced the official end of the experiment.

If this doesn't end soon, the curse on Duan Ming'en will probably kill him.

It's not the kind of death from starvation or thirst, but rather the curse that directly transforms into a deadly, fatal force.

Chu Jiang also realized that even with fifty percent of the power of Ju-on, it could still curse someone to death; however, it would take fourteen days, doubling the time.

As for lifting the curse, it's quite simple. The one controlling the curse now is a human, not a ghost. Chu Jiang can simply take the curse back.

Finally, regarding Chu Jiang's own situation, in fact, by the third day, the Ju-on ghost had already completely emerged from the Ghost Diary.

Moreover, this "escape" within the rules did not elicit any reaction from Ghost Diaries.

Logically, Chu Jiang should have been killed by the escaped ghost at this point, but...

Chapter 268 Something Was Unearthed

Because the power of Chu Zombie was too strong, it suppressed Blood Hand Ghost, Dark Left Hand, and the Cursed Woman Ghost together.

Therefore, although Chu Jiang felt that his physical and mental burden had increased, overall, the problem was not serious.

When Chu Jiang withdrew the curse and returned the power to the Ghost Diary, the Ju-on ghost also returned to the Ghost Diary, becoming a lifelike portrait in it.

This attempt allowed Chu Jiang to thoroughly understand the patterns of Ju-on, which can be considered good news.

Because the protective function of Ju-on still exists, meaning that within seven days, the victim can only die from Ju-on's curse, and other curses must first overcome Ju-on's barrier.

Even now, this period has been extended to fourteen days.

Moreover, if Chu Jiang uses it himself, the female ghost's true form will appear on his body. With the curse and the true form existing simultaneously, the effect will not be fifty percent, but one hundred and fifty percent.

To be honest, Chu Jiang was a little puzzled. Where did the extra 50% come from?

Or rather, what kind of algorithm is this? It can forcibly split one ghost into 1.5 ghosts for use.

Ultimately, Chu Jiang couldn't figure it out and could only attribute it to the unpredictability of the supernatural and the peculiarities of the Ghost Diary itself.

......

Of course, nothing has been uneventful in the past two weeks.

First, there was firefighter Paul, an American. Through the institute's connections, he successfully got in touch with the US Paranormal Investigation and Defense Agency (BPRD).

While actively treating Paul, BPRD was also very interested in his experiences, especially after learning that Paul and Chu Jiang had both experienced paranormal events.

Bruce Miller, the head of the previous delegation, called again to extend a warm invitation to Chu Jiang to go there on a business trip and to thank him for saving the American citizen.

Chu Jiang reiterated his previous statement: "Let's talk about it in a few months."

On Michiko's side, the research institute also made contact with the official organization of the island nation, the Seireitei. Although Chu Jiang really wanted to complain about their name, that's what they really call it, supposedly to make people think it's a fictional organization.

To be precise, it's 【Seireitei】, but anyway, they're pretty much the same.

Michiko was indeed a member of the Seireitei, but surprisingly, they weren't in a hurry to send someone to take her back. They even hoped Michiko would stay in Chujiang and said they could send someone to take care of her.

Chu Jiang thought about it for a moment and realized that this was yet another person who was taking advantage of him.

Back in the island nation, there's still an S-class incident called "Ghost Abyss" that hasn't been resolved. They even sent people to contact the research institute, hoping to get Mr. Xu's help.

Research Institute No. 21 naturally couldn't agree to such a thing, so they made up an excuse to reject it.

Now that the US has this need, the island nation naturally has the same. For them, this incident is simply a perfect opportunity to inadvertently connect with Chu Jiang.

Of course, the people of Seireitei are more reserved, or rather, they are not as eager as the Americans who make demands right away. They seem to be taking things slowly and want to build a good relationship with Chu Jiang before making any further moves.

Chu Jiang's response was simple: there was no need to send anyone over; he would notify the Seireitei to come and pick them up at a suitable time later.

As for now, it's not the right time yet. The matter of the ghost bride is something that really bothers Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang couldn't understand why the ghost bride had saved him back then.

If the ghost bride didn't want Michiko, the vessel of her spirit, to die, she could have simply taken Michiko with her.

Did it foresee that someone had to break through the Ghost Buddha, otherwise no one would be able to leave?

Hey, do ghosts have such good cunning?

It is worth mentioning that Michiko did not lose her memory; she recognized Chujiang.

Although she is just a baby now, it would be easy if she had the mind and wisdom of an adult; she can use her little finger to point at the keyboard and then have someone else type the text for her.

According to Michiko, she doesn't remember what happened after she shrunk, nor does she know where the Ghost Bride's card went.

However, when the demon appeared, it was still inside her body, and there was only one demon inside her body.

So all we can say is that we'll have to wait and see.

Michiko's health isn't good right now, and the burden of being a demon is still too heavy for an infant. Not to mention, the demon bride had previously used Michiko's body to do all sorts of things.

So Chu Jiang first sent the baby to headquarters, asking the research institute to help prolong her life.

The headquarters was quite pleased with this, as several experts were very interested in Michiko's phenomenon of rejuvenation and they would do their best to save the baby.

Chu Jiang's idea was to observe for at least half a year. If he couldn't find the reason and Michiko was no longer being manipulated, then he would have Seireitei come to pick her up.

After dealing with these two matters, Chu Jiang sent Li Yuhan's head back to her hometown for burial. He also sent a sum of money to her family in the name of the research institute.

In this way, her last wish was fulfilled.

......

Meanwhile, Chu Jiang had been making preparations to go to the Three Divine Mountains. The whereabouts of the former head, Wang Lei, and the matter of the River God remained unresolved issues.

It is worth mentioning that just two days after Duan Ming'en went to the headquarters, another Ghost Master was chased and fled to Luohe City.

As a result, the ghost master and his men who were chasing him were almost all killed by Chu Jiang.

Or rather, if it weren't for the mysterious figure rescuing them at the crucial moment, these people would have all perished here.

You've come once, but you want to come twice?

Chu Jiang is no pushover; he'll fleece anyone who tries to take advantage of him.

......

About twenty days after the castle incident, Chu Jiang took a break and was in good shape. He had acquired the ghost he needed and it was time to set off.

Before officially setting off, Chu Jiang also took the opportunity to promote the old man's ghost-catching and exorcising deeds; and asked the Xu family to organize a homecoming ancestral worship event with the local Lin clan.

Only if the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall stands can Luohe City remain stable.

Unexpectedly, on the night before Chu Jiang was about to set off, someone called him.

"Big brother, something terrible has happened! We've really dug something up..."

Hearing the panicked voice, Chu Jiang was momentarily stunned. "Who are you? How do you have my number?"
