I have a ghost diary

"Alright, don't look at it for too long, or it will get contaminated." Expert Chen closed the suitcase at the right moment.

"The effect of starting over is simple: it allows everything that happened in a certain area or time period to be started over from scratch."

"It is important to note that this is not time reversal. Time flows forward normally, but everything and everything will return to a certain predetermined state in the past."

"Moreover, its negative effects are also quite terrible. If you don't handle it well, you will be trapped in this experience forever, constantly starting over, over and over again..."

Chapter 307 Riding the Black Sun?

Even after Expert Chen closed his briefcase, the sense of regret that had unconsciously risen in Chu Jiang's heart did not completely disappear, but only lessened.

This gave him some understanding of how terrifying this level-zero sealed artifact was.

Chu Jiang was extremely curious about its origins, or rather, the origins of the ghost residing within it...

Xin Xin asked thoughtfully, "Exactly how long can it allow things to start over?"

“It’s not fixed, and even the scope is not fixed.” Chen Yehua said seriously, “If you’re greedy enough, you can even make everything that has happened in a large area start over from scratch.”

"However, the longer the specified time and the wider the specified range, the higher the probability that the user will be trapped in it."

"At that time, it will be very difficult for people outside to go in and rescue people, because once they go in, they will be trapped in that cycle, which will never end."

"According to current experiments, the cycle can only stop if all living things in the cycle die."

"Therefore, the research institute's advice is to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary. Even if you do use it, use it as sparingly as possible."

"Although this level-zero sealed artifact is very dangerous, its greatest function is to provide a margin of error."

"The reason the dean asked you to bring 004 this time is because the Ghost Hunters have a batch of sealed ghosts in their possession."

"In the unlikely event that they release some extremely terrifying entity in a desperate act, you can immediately use 004 to imprison it before that entity fully regains its mobility, thus preventing a disaster from occurring."

"Of course, if it drags on too long, then forget it. At this stage, the research institute cannot accept the loss of two more team leaders. Not to mention, even if you die inside, the ghosts that are released may not necessarily be unable to get out."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly. "Speaking of the research institute, how many level-zero sealed artifacts do they actually have?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be more than two hands. The numbering I know of only goes up to 004. But I suspect there are one or two more hands hidden above that," Expert Chen said mysteriously to Chu Jiang.

After saying that, he handed the briefcase to Chu Jiang, "Keep it with you. Also, don't open it for too long. If you look at it for too long, you will fall into regret and end up using this thing frantically to try to resolve the regret in your heart."

Xin Xin seemed to have no objection to placing the Level 0 sealed artifact on Chu Jiang, but asked, "When do we set off?"

"You can come anytime. Our research institute's elite troops are already waiting at the gate. This time, there will be both ghost master troops and soldier troops working together. In principle, the soldier troops will only help you clear the area and deal with ordinary people."

"Of course, if you deem it necessary, you can use modern firearms to clear the area; but make sure there are no sealed terracotta pots or similar items within the area."

"If a barrage of firepower were to hit, and only a few enemies were killed, but a bunch of ghosts were blown out, that would be quite interesting."

"Understood." Chu Jiang stuffed the suitcase into his left hand and led the way out.

"Hey, wait a minute," Ning Miaowei caught up with me, "You promised me on the phone last time that you'd come to my office when you get back."

Chu Jiang waved his hand without turning his head, "We'll talk about it when I come back alive."

......

On his way to the research institute, Chu Jiang noticed that the atmosphere at headquarters was much more serious and tense, and most of the employees passing by seemed to be in a hurry.

It seems that the influence of the outside world has also reached here, even though most of the staff here are civilian employees who do not need to go to the front line.

In fact, Chu Jiang himself was also thinking about something. The sudden change in the global situation gave him a sense of urgency: should he start transplanting the third ghost?

This ghost must have a ghost realm, and Chu Jiang already has a "ghost chosen" in mind.

That is the black sun sealed within the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall...

Yes, this is a bold and crazy idea. If it goes wrong, Chu Jiang will die on the spot!

However, if successful, Chu Jiang's strength will immediately experience a qualitative leap.

Reason told him that it would be better to develop Chu Zhan's power within him step by step.

However, Chu Jiang now clearly realizes that he has reached a bottleneck. To further increase the degree of Chu Zombieization, he must risk death.

Since both options involve risk, it's better to choose the one with the highest potential return.

The so-called high returns mean that one can not only successfully control the Black Sun, but also elevate Chu Zombie to a higher level.

Moreover, Chu Jiang must ensure that Chu Zhan's power can suppress the power of the Black Sun.

At this point, the concept of mutual restraint between ghosts is no longer relevant; it's more about who has the bigger fist, since Chu Qi is not currently at risk of reviving.

If Chu Zhan cannot overpower Black Sun, then at least it should be able to stand on equal footing.

If he can't do that, then Chu Jiang's death is probably not far off.

In addition, the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall is, in a sense, a "treasure trove" for Chujiang that can quickly enhance its strength.

The old man's original words were that if one day in the future Chu Jiang's power increased to the point where he could completely control the Ghost Diary and not be devoured by it, then he could give all the ghosts in the ancestral hall to Chu Jiang.

In this way, the rest of the Lin family will also be freed.

Chu Jiang's idea was that this kind of thing didn't need to be done at the last minute. Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as providing charcoal in the snow.

According to the old man's prediction, once the number of ghosts sealed in the Ghost Diary exceeds one hundred, the diary will undergo further changes.

At that time, Chu Jiang might be able to rely on not just 50% of the strength, but 100%.

Furthermore, the variety of abilities available has greatly increased.

Of course, if he could really control the black sun, Chu Jiang wouldn't care much for those weak ghosts; he would rather obtain the power of the Ghost Diary itself.

As for sealing the number 304 to the top, that's absolutely out of the question.

Otherwise, if the real Ghost Diary were to escape from the diary and gain complete control over the power of 304 ghosts, how could Chu Jiang possibly fight it?

Of course, these two plans are sequential. He will only consider sealing a portion of the ghosts into the diary if Chu Jiang can truly control the black sun.

At that time, the Ghost Diary should generate the kind of large-scale chain ghost domain that Lin Qingdai mentioned, which will further enhance the power of the diary.

As they envisioned the future, Chu Jiang and his companion quickly arrived at the main entrance of the research institute.

Upon seeing the large number of troops waiting quietly outside, Chu Jiang temporarily put aside his thoughts, deciding to deal with everything after this trip to headquarters.

He will visit the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall at that time. If he can persuade the old man and successfully implement the plan, and if the situation in China can also stabilize, he may consider going abroad.

By then, even if he encountered a false god, or even the god of the Holy Word Cult, Chu Jiang would be confident enough to face him head-on...

Chapter 308 The Operation Begins

Inside the mountainous area, at the entrance of the metal gate, two formations stood before Chu Jiang and Xin Xin.

The left flank has at least a thousand men, all of whom are fully armed soldiers.

The right-hand formation consisted of only forty people. They wore uniform camouflage uniforms and carried black backpacks. Their demeanor was quite different from the ghost masters Chu Jiang had usually encountered.

Although the atmosphere was equally eerie, they showed no signs of laziness and instead maintained a high degree of consistency with the well-trained soldiers on the left.

This made Chu Jiang thoughtful. Were the Ghost Masters specially selected and trained by the research institute?

Many people outside had made similar speculations, but this was the first time Chu Jiang had officially met these people.

"Reporting to the two captains, everything is ready. If you have no objections, we can depart immediately and complete the clearing operation within ten minutes."

From the ranks of the ghost masters, a ghost master dressed as a leader stepped forward and reported to Chu Jiang and the others.

Chu Jiang nodded slightly. "Let's go. The two of us will go first, and we'll meet up at our destination and talk more."

After saying that, Chu Jiang used his Ghost Domain to envelop Xin Xin and flew towards Yun Jing City with her.

Yes, the Ghost Hunter Society's headquarters is located in Yunjing City, not too far from the research institute's headquarters, which can be described as extremely daring.

Of course, there's probably also a sense of holding the city hostage; they think that if the research institute really wants to take action against the Ghost Hunters, it will be hampered by this.

Moreover, before today, they had kept a very low profile, and even within the Ghost Hunters organization, very few people knew the exact location of their headquarters.

Here, Chu Jiang couldn't help but marvel at the power of the research institute. They had silently planted high-level spies within the Ghost Hunter Society. What about other organizations?

I estimate that not many people can resist the allure of research institutes...

......

Chu Jiang and his companion soon arrived at Silver Avenue in the East District, one of the city's commercial centers. The headquarters of the Ghost Hunter Society was located in an office building, specifically on the 20th to 30th floors.

When they arrived, the place was still bustling with people. After all, Yunjing City is quite special; even if a sudden supernatural event occurs, it is quickly resolved, making the place even more lively and prosperous.

When Chu Jiang arrived nearby, he was still a little doubtful. Could so many people really be cleared out in ten minutes? And wouldn't it be a bad thing to attract too much attention from ordinary people?

In any case, within half an hour, the two elite troops arrived at the scene.

However, Chu Jiang discovered that the people here, whether tourists or commuters, were completely ignoring these troops.

It's not so much that you ignore them, but rather that you've gotten used to their presence and therefore aren't curious or too concerned, just like you wouldn't stare intently at strangers when you go out.

This gave Chu Jiang pause for thought; it must be similar to what the research institute had done in Luohe City. Since they could blur the disaster memories of Luohe citizens in their dreams, they could naturally also achieve subconscious suggestion within a group.

Such large-scale suggestion is of course ineffective against ghost masters, but it is sufficient to deal with ordinary people.

In fact, as soon as something unusual happened outside the Lian Group building, Chu Jiang noticed that the Ghost Hunters were getting restless, and even four or five figures broke through the glass and fled in all directions.

Some people have even started kidnapping ordinary people who are working normally inside the building.

Xin Xin took out a silver whistle at some point. She blew it gently, and the ghost masters who had been jumping or flying away fell to the ground with screams.

The reasons for their landing varied: some were burned into fireballs; some were attacked by vengeful ghosts; some seemed to have heart problems... In short, it was as if they were all targeted by death at the same time.

At the same moment, among the ghost master troops surrounding the building, one ghost master in each of the four directions raised his hand and simultaneously unleashed his ghost domain. The ghost domains between them were able to merge, almost instantly isolating the building.

Therefore, people outside only heard screams by accident, but when they looked up, everything seemed normal.

At this point, the soldiers began to persuade passersby and tourists to leave, giving a lame excuse that a large-scale cultural performance was about to be held there.

However, the passersby believed it without question and left in a very cooperative manner.

Within ten minutes, a deserted area was cleared on Silver Street, except for the sealed-off Lian Building.

In addition to the original four-person joint ghost domain, the ghost master troops also set up some high-tech instruments on site, superimposing a layer of [pseudo-ghost domain] that can absorb sound and block light outside the ghost domain.

This way, even if the Ghost Realm is breached, the commotion of the battle here will not reach the outside world.
