I have a ghost diary

It's not fair to say this guy is incompetent, since there are practically no people around at this time. And as the head of security, responsible for the security of the entire building, he comes to work every day without ever being late or leaving early.

At first, the woman in white floated silently toward the elevator, and Xu Shengtian didn't notice until a calm voice came from the walkie-talkie on his waist, "Boss, aren't you going to ask?"

Xu Shengtian then looked up and saw a figure. He quickly chased after him, saying, "Wait! Weapons are not allowed here."

Xu Shengtian is not the only one responsible for security in this building.

Although it may seem ordinary on the surface, unless it is something invisible to the living, any intruder will be detected by professional security personnel no matter where they break in.

The woman in white turned her head and glanced at the security guard who looked a bit like a thug, but she didn't say anything.

But the sword in her hand disappeared, and she continued forward.

Xu Shengtian immediately sensed that something was wrong with this guy. He secretly notified Li Xiaolang on the top floor while quickly stepping forward.

"Miss, please register. Which company do you want to go to, and who do you want to see?"

The woman continued walking, but still answered Xu Shengtian's question, "I'm looking for Chu Jiang."

"Oh, I know Chu Jiang, he's my older brother. May I ask what brings you here? I don't think he's here today."

The woman paused for a moment, but continued walking forward.

So Xu Shengtian followed while continuing to probe for information, "Do you know my older brother? Are you friends?"

"fiancée."

Xu Shengtian was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

"fiancée?!"

The woman in white nodded slightly.

This was quite a shock; Xu Shengtian's expression froze as if struck by lightning.

Seeing that the woman in white had reached the elevator, Xu Shengtian reacted and rushed in after her as she opened the door and went inside.

Then, ignoring the woman, Xu Shengtian took out his phone, turned his back to her, and urgently sent a message to his cousin, Xu Xiaoxiao:

[Something terrible has happened! My brother's fiancée is here to force him to return and inherit his vast fortune, along with her beautiful young wife.]

After thinking about it and hesitating for a moment, Xu Shengtian also sent a message to Ms. Chen, the company's finance manager.

After all, this Miss Chen was very kind and considerate, and she even gave small gifts to everyone in the security team. Xu Shengtian felt that he couldn't show favoritism to his own people, as that would be too unfair.

【Something terrible has happened! My brother's fiancée is trying to force him out. I'll stall her for now. You need to make one last phone call to my brother. Once he goes back to inherit the family fortune, you two might be worlds apart.】

"What are you doing?" The woman in white rarely spoke first, looking at the furtive Xu Shengtian.

Xu Shengtian immediately put away his phone and said with a forced smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just quit the game and got yelled at by my teammates. I logged back in and yelled back at them."

The following time was rather delicate. Xu Shengtian kept glancing at his phone because Xu Xiaoxiao and Chen Ke'er had given him a long string of question marks.

Chen Ke'er, in particular, posted a bunch of questions, such as: Is it true or false? What does the fiancée look like? What does "forcing the issue" mean?

Xu Shengtian originally wanted to secretly take a picture of the woman, but when he raised his phone, he sensed a murderous aura... So he wisely put down his phone and whistled, trying to distract her.

In short, Xu Shengtian felt that he was very glorious and great, and that he had a heavy responsibility. On the one hand, he had to stall the other party so as not to arouse their suspicion; on the other hand, he also had to answer the questions of the two women.

"Ding~!" The elevator has arrived at the top floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Xu Shengtian saw Li Xiaolang arrive with the company's psychologist.

However, for some reason, the female doctor seemed to be in a bad mood, muttering things like "exploiting employees."

Xu Shengtian then remembered that the man surnamed Duan was still on a business trip to headquarters...

......

Chu Jiang, of course, was unaware of what had happened at the company. After carefully examining the coffin, he sealed each of the four sides of the coffin with a peace charm, and then jumped out of the tomb.

This left everyone dumbfounded. A leap of two meters into the air, combined with the way he landed earlier... could this guy even possess some kind of light-footed skill?

"Let's bury this place first and fill it in, then I'll figure out a way to get you out."

Chu Jiang's idea was simple: regardless of whether the ghost in the coffin was a ghost bride or not, it had already demonstrated supernatural power and killed several people.

Therefore, you can't just put it into your left hand first.

If you lead your people out and get into a battle with the ghosts in the mist, and then the ghosts in the coffin break out of their coffins, you'll be caught in a pincer attack.

Therefore, the best course of action is to bury the coffin here first, and then come back to deal with the coffin separately after everything outside is settled.

At that time, whether it's sent to headquarters for reinforcement of the seal or a way to open it, there will be no other factors interfering.

P.S.: I need to try to adjust the update schedule. If this continues, I'll be back to the all-nighter mode I used for the last book.

Chapter 273 The Ghost Wedding

Upon hearing Chu Jiang say that he could leave, the excavator operator immediately perked up, "I'll take care of it, I'll fill it in in no time."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds coming from the fog fell silent in an instant.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw the previously normal white mist quickly turn into a gloomy black, and the sounds of the wedding procession suddenly became clear.

The procession was accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, and the sound of singing, but the lyrics were indistinct. The atmosphere was lively yet somewhat eerie, as if the singers were devoid of any emotion.

Moreover, the gloomy, ghostly mist was no longer just lingering outside Qingyun Mountain, but began to gradually infiltrate the mountain, slowly spreading towards the mountainside...

The excavator operator immediately covered his mouth in fright, saying, "I was just talking nonsense, I was just talking nonsense, please don't be offended."

Chu Jiang didn't think it had anything to do with what the other party said; it was simply that the ghost outside couldn't hold back any longer.

Since that's the case, let's not bother with this for now.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "To make a long story short, we've encountered a ghost. I'll give you two choices."

"First, follow me into the fog. If we're lucky, I can get you all down the mountain; if we're unlucky, who knows?"

"Second, you two wait here next to this coffin. This is probably a relatively safe place for now. The ghosts in the mist shouldn't target you first before I die."

If it were just now, it wouldn't have been difficult for Chu Jiang to take people out, but now that the ghost has officially launched its attack, things are not so sure.

Upon hearing this, most of the people looked at Zhang Dafu, since he was the one who brought the reinforcements, and he should be quite familiar with this big brother's abilities, right?

Zhang Dafu thought for a moment, "Let's wait here, so we won't hold you back, brother."

At this moment, his third cousin said, "What if..."

Zhang Dafu waved his hand forcefully, "There's no chance of anything going wrong. We'll wait here. Brother, just go for it and don't worry too much about us."

"As for these brothers over here, I'm sorry, but if we manage to get out of here alive, I'll double our pay." Zhang Dafu looked apologetically at the excavator operator and the migrant workers.

Seeing this, no one raised any further objections. To be honest, it took some courage for them to rush headlong into that ghostly mist.

.......

Chu Jiang walked down the mountain step by step. Regardless of whether the ghost outside was after the coffin or not, Chu Jiang was determined to take it with him.

The ghost went up, and the man went down; soon, they gradually came to see each other.

In Chu Jiang's eyes, a wedding procession appeared in the ghostly mist, with a "man" riding a tall horse and dressed in a groom's clothes leading the way.

To be precise, it should be a ghost. It looks like a emaciated corpse with yellowish-brown skin and one eye missing, which is nowhere to be found.

A few strands of gray-black hair remained on its head, fluttering and undulating in the cold wind behind the brim of its hat.

The ghost's aura was somewhat terrifying; the ghostly mist that enveloped all of Qingyun Mountain emanated from it. Moreover, its aura was connected to that of the entire wedding procession, seemingly containing some special rules.

Behind the groom were an honor guard holding signs, a band playing drums and gongs, and a sedan chair procession carrying an eight-person sedan chair; accompanied by maids carrying lanterns, strongmen carrying the betrothal gifts, and a heavily made-up matchmaker...

The group consisted of at least a hundred people, making it quite a lively scene.

Of course, none of the people in this wedding procession seem quite normal.

Some of them were walking corpses, some were skeletons, some were ghosts without a physical form... In short, none of them looked like living people.

Moreover, their "freshness" was not the same. Some looked like they had just died, with their limbs intact, only their faces were slightly pale.

Furthermore, the newly deceased were not wearing their original clothes, but instead were dressed in old, red wedding procession uniforms; these uniforms were not even properly worn, and some were even worn inside out.

Some of them looked like they had been dead for many years, missing limbs, with only a skeleton supporting their bodies; as for those ghosts who had lost their bodies, there was no need to mention them.

Upon discovering this scene, Chu Jiang's expression turned slightly serious. Hundreds of ghosts?

Is it a ghost, accompanied by a group of ghost servants?

These are two concepts. Ghost servants exist because they depend on the existence of ghosts, and they can be destroyed and killed. In essence, they are just an extension of the power of the source ghost.

Furthermore, although Chu Jiang was "seen" by the wedding procession, none of the ghosts pounced on him to kill him. Instead, they maintained their original pace, as if they were really going up the mountain to fetch the bride.

This led Chu Jiang to two speculations:

One reason is that one has not yet triggered the killing pattern; it is merely a fleeting encounter and will not provoke an attack from the other party.

The other one is more mysterious. Let's call this leading ghost, the "Ghost Wedding," for now. Could it be that it and the ghost bride were a couple in life?

Since the two were unable to marry before their deaths, is it possible that the groom must fulfill his last wish after his passing?

Of course, Chu Jiang thought it was unlikely.

While some ghosts are transformed from humans after death, it's normal for them to retain some of their past obsessions. For example, the "Go Ghost" that appeared in Luohe City before was a ghost that still wanted to play Go with people even after it died. It had terrible sportsmanship and would kill whoever beat it.

But this ghost is getting married? He's dead, yet he can recognize people? Oh no, he recognizes ghosts? He even knows where his fiancée is buried and came straight here? That's unlikely.

More likely, the two ghosts are completely unrelated, and may not even be from the same dynasty; however, their inherent power may share some commonalities.

It was this very fact that attracted the Ghost Wedding Ceremony, which is why they led their wedding procession towards Qingyun Mountain.

It had been circling around the perimeter before, but it's unclear whether it was due to uncertainty or an inability to find the right person.

In short, after a period of time, the Ghost Wedding finally went up the mountain, trying to find the source of that common power.

However, Chu Jiang discovered that their direction had deviated subtly.

If they continue on this path, the wedding procession will not reach Zhang Dafu and his family. Instead, it will detour past the mountain spring and head towards the mountaintop.

This further confirms Chu Jiang's guess: because the ghost in the coffin has not completely broken the seal, the ghost bride cannot determine the exact location of the other party and can only grope its way forward.

As the procession drew closer, Chu Jiang simply stepped aside to avoid a direct confrontation with the wedding party, without actually moving away.

This matter is a bit complicated. This ghost's aura is quite terrifying, at least not comparable to an ordinary C-level vengeful ghost.

And that's not the key point. What if the person in the coffin is the ghost bride? Since these two ghosts have similar powers, if they join forces, the level of terror will probably increase dramatically!
