I have a ghost diary

As for the dead infant ghost, it disappeared after entering the supernatural space; and as its host died, the bloody footprints left in the air gradually faded and disappeared.

Xin Xin noticed the umbrella ghost's betrayal, but she didn't understand how Chu Jiang had managed to turn the ghosts on the other ghost masters against their will.

This ability is far beyond what is expected. In reality, Li Xiangtian died from an unexpected "betrayal." He never anticipated that he would be slapped by Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang landed steadily and picked up the old oil lamp that Li Xiangtian was clutching tightly in his hand.

What's truly amazing is that as soon as Chu Jiang grasped the oil lamp, the wick instantly ignited with a dark green flame.

However, Chu Jiang had a very bad feeling. His life seemed to be connected with this lamp in a strange and inexplicable way.

Chu Jiang even subconsciously wanted to throw the oil lamp away.

However, before letting go, Chu Jiang forcibly suppressed his instinctive reaction.

I was clearly not dead before, but the oil lamp went out. Does this mean that the life of the holder and the flame of the oil lamp are one?

The oil lamp went out because of Li Xiangtian's death.

So if Chu Jiang accidentally extinguishes the oil lamp when he throws it, he will probably become the most unjustly killed person, dying while picking up a trophy.

In short, Chu Jiang carefully placed the old oil lamp flat on the ground before slowly letting go of it.

About ten breaths later, Chu Jiang realized that the connection between himself and the oil lamp had been severed. Then the oil lamp went out on its own, and he was still alive.

This allowed Chu Jiang to roughly figure out some patterns.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't touch the oil lamp with his hand again, but instead threw it into the inner space of the left-hand ghost from a distance.

Then Chu Jiang instructed the ghost master outside the arena to come in and clean up Li Xiangtian's body.

In fact, the extermination operation was not over yet, because apart from some of the surrendered ghost masters and ordinary people, there was still a group of die-hards hiding in the Lian Building, trying to put up a last-ditch resistance.

However, Chu Jiang and Xin Xin will not need to participate in the following actions.

The leader of the Ghost Masters' unit dispatched men to coordinate with Chu Jiang's operation.

While broadcasting loudly through a megaphone, he announced, "Listen up, everyone in the building! Li Xiangtian is dead at Captain Chu's hands! This is your last chance. Surrender within one minute, or we will officially launch a full-scale assault!"

Amidst the repeated announcements, Xin Xin landed on the ground. She looked at Chu Jiang and asked, "Is that the power of the ghost within you?"

Chu Jiang shook his head. "You can think of it as a sealed object, well, a sealed object with hidden dangers."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang subconsciously glanced at his left hand. Among the piles of clutter in the dark space, there was a rectangular card with a dark black border.

The image depicts a white tiger coiled within a large bronze vessel.

The white tiger's blood-red eyes flickered, seemingly able to meet Chu Jiang's gaze from a distance of an arm's length...

That's right, Chu Jiang borrowed the power of the White Tiger card, which was an item he brought out from the castle.

Moreover, it was brought out by a bug. Normally, the card should only be used inside the castle, but Chu Jiang was brought out by the ghost bride in a way that was outside the rules.

Since the other person didn't die, the card is still in his possession.

Previously, when Chu Jiang used the Left-Handed Ghost and the Blood Hand Ghost to strike the Umbrella Ghost, he secretly borrowed the White Tiger's [Chang Ghost] ability to mark the Umbrella Ghost.

Once he has successfully marked the target, he can make the target willingly do anything for him in a short period of time.

Chu Jiang was initially unsure whether it could be used on ghosts, but the results of this experiment showed him that it was entirely possible, although the time required seemed to be much shorter compared to controlling living people.

Chu Jiang was uneasy, however, as this ability originated from a trapped S-class vengeful ghost, and he didn't know what might happen if he used it too much.

Not to mention he also carries the curse of the "White Tiger Curse," so it's best to avoid using it as much as possible in the future.

......

About ten minutes later, with Chu Jiang and Xin Xin in charge, the Ghost Masters officially launched a strong attack on the Lian's Building.

The Ghost Master troops were well-trained and worked together effectively, ending all resistance within half an hour.

Then came the imprisonment of prisoners, the counting of the dead, and the seizure of spoils of war.

Chu Jiang and his team didn't get involved in this matter; they simply let the research institute's people act as they pleased, observing the entire process to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

......

Outsiders, the news that Research Institute No. 21 had officially launched its campaign to eradicate the Ghost Hunters had already been widely circulated in the paranormal community since the operation began.

Because the research institute not only targeted the Ghost Hunter headquarters, but also all its branches, such a large-scale operation could not be kept secret no matter what.

In fact, the research institute did not intend to hide it. They even personally released the news that Chu Jiang and Xin Xin led a team to wipe out the Ghost Hunter Society, with the aim of deterring certain restless folk organizations and ghost masters in the country.

Moreover, the results were quite good, especially after the headquarters was officially captured and news spread that the Ghost Hunter Society's president had been killed by Chu Jiang...

Chapter 317 First Place in Asia's Combat Power Ranking

On one side was the Silver Avenue in Yunjing City, which had officially begun to reopen. Chu Jiang also took the upper half of the Lian's Building with him to avoid blocking the road.

Meanwhile, paranormal websites both domestically and internationally began discussing the incident.

It's important to know that the operation lasted less than an hour from start to finish. Some of the ghost masters had only just heard the news when the research institute announced that the extermination was complete.

Even Li Xiangtian, who was famous in the paranormal community, was killed.

You should know that this guy is quite a big shot in the country. His nickname is "Little Devil". He is ruthless and vicious. He started from scratch and eliminated many competitors along the way, successfully creating the Ghost Hunter Association.

Many folk ghost masters both hate and admire Li Xiangtian, after all, he is a model ghost master who has grown up without relying on a powerful force.

The Ghost Hunters still hold sway over the underground black market; some want to join their ranks, while others fear being hunted down by them...

Just before today, everyone believed that ghost hunters would continue to exist; and that, because the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, they might take advantage of this critical period of frequent paranormal events to rapidly expand their power.

But then the research institute poured cold water on everyone's hopes; such a large organization collapsed just like that, and the Ghost Hunter Association's leader was killed without hesitation.

It's all because this underground organization overstepped its bounds and actually set its sights on the research institute, which is quite a sad story.

This incident has given people a deeper understanding of the capabilities of Research Institute No. 21.

Just as some people have analyzed, the reason why the Ghost Hunters were able to exist in the past was not because the research institute was really unable to find and wipe them out, but because they still had value in their existence.

But at this critical juncture, regardless of whether the Ghost Hunters' theft of the research institute's secrets is true or false, the research institute is using this organization as a prime example to attack.

I believe that after this incident, domestic NGOs and sorcerers will behave themselves better.

Some foreign official organizations are also using information gathered from various sources to assess the research institute's capabilities; especially given the simultaneous occurrence of several Class A incidents in China, they are very concerned about whether Mr. Xu will intervene...

Compared to the destruction of the Ghost Hunters, the focus of discussion on the paranormal forum at this moment was not this matter. Apart from a few long analytical posts, the vast majority of people on the forum were discussing the man who ranked first in the Asian combat power list—Chu Jiang.

Regarding the controversy over being the first in Asia, they argued about it for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion: since Mr. Xu has never officially made a move, he is considered the first in Chujiang.

If Mr. Xu really does emerge one day and dominates the field, even outperforming Chu Jiang, then it wouldn't be unreasonable to replace him as number one.

Chu Jiang himself occasionally browses the forums, and all he can do is laugh at it...

[It's Chu Jiang again. He should definitely be considered the research institute's ace, right? When in doubt, go to Chu Jiang!] 653

[Li Xiangtian is dead?? Does anyone have photos or videos of the fight? How did they fight?] 452

[Even that "Grim Reaper" went along; Li Xiangtian is doomed, even if he doesn't die.] 799

[Breaking News! The Ghost Hunter's headquarters building is mostly broken; it's rumored that Chu Jiang broke it off with his bare hands.] 3248

[Shocking! My childhood friend participated in this decapitation operation. He said Chu Jiang swallowed half of the building whole.] 4799

Although the research institute had sealed off the site, I happened to be near Silver Street. The atmosphere emanating from inside was terrifying; I even vaguely saw the silhouette of a giant Buddha.

[Don't believe those fake news reports, I've got a bombshell: Before Li Xiangtian died, he released an S-class vengeful ghost, but Chu Jiang easily suppressed it.] 994

[The paranormal resurgence is intensifying, but I remain pessimistic about its future, unless a hundred people like Chu Jiang emerge.] 667

[Linking up with a hundred posts from Chu Jiang next door, there should be quite a few high-tech talents in the research institute, right? Can they clone ghosts?] 1399

As time went on, the number of people becoming ghost masters continued to increase, so the number of registered users on paranormal forums also rose accordingly.

Whenever a major event occurs, refreshing the homepage often yields thousands of replies.

Even the official announcement posted by the research institute itself, when it released photos of Chu Jiang examining Li Xiangtian's body, already had over 30,000 replies.

It's worth mentioning that one user's post was buried in a sea of ​​discussion messages.

This person was previously considered a "well-known user" on the forum, with the ID "Ip Man". He would often claim to be able to fight ten people at once, and his posting style seemed very attention-seeking. He was frequently banned from posting by the administrators.

After resolving the S-level incident in Chujiang last time, he posted a challenge to Chujiang, only to be criticized by others again.

As for why the administrator didn't ban this ID, it's because bragging isn't illegal...

【I, Ip Man, am truly a formidable fighter, why don't you believe me?】153

New users didn't recognize him, but veteran users were teasing him, saying things like, "Brother Wing Chun, you're here again?" and "How many are you going to fight today?"

Another person replied, "Didn't you challenge Chu Jiang to a duel last time? Go now! If you beat him, we'll crown you number one on the Asian combat power list!"

The subsequent replies were similar, but now there aren't many people paying attention to him anymore, and even the administrator hasn't locked the post.

This made Ip Man secretly resolve in his heart: Okay, then I'll go find Chu Jiang.

It just so happens that Ip Man was a native of Yunjing City. He hadn't gone to Luohe City before because he had to work during the day and secretly protect the city at night, and the round-trip airfare was too expensive...

But this time, he finally made up his mind.

......

Chu Jiang, of course, was unaware that someone was already preparing to challenge him to a duel.

After the operation ended, he and Xin Xin escorted the spoils back to headquarters, and naturally nothing unexpected happened during the process.

As Chu Jiang and Xin Xin stepped into the headquarters, a welcome message came over the loudspeaker.

If it weren't for the fact that now is not the right time, the deputy minister would probably be throwing them a celebration.

As soon as the two returned, someone hurriedly invited them to the operations command room. Mainly because Chu Jiang's previous actions had been too frightening, Liu Xuewen was eager to find out exactly what had happened.

Chu Jiang wasn't in a hurry. He glanced at the four large electronic screens in the command center and, after confirming that the operations in other cities hadn't officially started yet, answered the deputy minister's question.

It is worth mentioning that the Lien Building is now surrounded by tarpaulins and scaffolding to maintain its height before it broke, so that the general public will not find out that half of the building has disappeared.

Chapter 318 Xin Xin's Abnormality

"I believe you have all seen what happened before. The ascetic's chanting was very unusual, and I had no choice but to release that ghost. However, I have now resealed it, so you can rest assured."
