I have a ghost diary

Chu Jiang seemed to be deep in thought. He first explained the previous situation, and then asked further, "Since Xin Xin has this hidden danger, why did headquarters assign Xin Xin to you to take care of, instead of assigning her to her?"

Ning Miaowei helplessly spread her hands, "Human desires are limitless. What Miss Zhou means is that if she stays by Xinxin's side, Xinxin might indeed behave herself and become a good child."

"But there is also a 50% chance that, over time, Xin Xin will become insatiable and demand more emotional comfort from Miss Zhou. If she does not get it, Xin Xin may go crazy."

"So she felt that a better treatment plan was to gradually help Xin Xin break free from her dependence. Otherwise, if Miss Zhou were to die unexpectedly one day, Xin Xin and the ghost inside her might create a new S-level incident."

This made Chu Jiang sigh, "She's a problem girl too. It seems there aren't many normal people among us ghost masters."

"You two can talk about this later," Ning Xiaorou, her hair in bloom, pinched her nose and pointed to the desk.

Ning Miaowei turned her head and looked, then immediately cried out in anguish, "My hard work!!"

She rushed over, trying to save it, but the purple reagent had not only spilled out, but had also almost completely evaporated in just a short time, leaving a strange smell in the air.

Chu Jiang asked curiously, "What kind of reagent is this? Is it harmful to the human body?"

Of course, while saying this, Chu Jiang didn't cover his nose. If it really were a volatile toxin, Ning, as an ordinary person and an expert, wouldn't have reacted this way.

Ning Miaowei was somewhat annoyed. "It took me a long time to prepare this. It's a medicine that can help... no, I mean, it's a kind of medicine that is very beneficial to human health."

"Have you been very busy lately? So I'm going to let you try it out; it should be good for your health."

"What's the rush?" Chu Jiang frowned.

"Oxytocin," Expert Ning said seriously, "Here's a little-known fact: men also secrete oxytocin. This hormone can make people feel happy, uplifted, and can also help relieve stress."

Chapter 320 The Way of Extraction

"Stop," Chu Jiang raised his hand, stopping Ning Miaowei's serious nonsense, "Let's get down to business."

"Xin Xin can rest here for now. As agreed, give me two plush toys, and I'll be leaving now."

Ning, the expert, was speechless. "I'm telling the truth. Men really do secrete oxytocin."

“That’s not what I meant,” Chu Jiang pointed to the bottle of reagent. “If that stuff really is oxytocin, could you please demonstrate by making another bottle and drinking it yourself?”

Ning Miaowei was speechless. "This, this is not appropriate. I am still at work."

"That's it."

Seeing Chu Jiang wave his hand to leave, Ning Miaowei immediately stepped forward and grabbed him, "Don't rush, aren't you curious about how [Call of Death] was created?"

"Also, Xin Xin is not following the path of balance, but a very special path. I can explain the relevant knowledge to you."

Upon hearing the "bait" thrown out by expert Ning, Chu Jiang reluctantly stopped, saying, "Let go of my hand first."

"Okay, okay." Ning Miaowei agreed while telling her bodyguard to leave and not be a third wheel.

Ning Xiaorou was speechless. She simply left with the words, "Remember to open the windows for ventilation," and then left on her own.

Chu Jiang was rather curious about her, and after Ning Xiaorou left, he asked, "Is this your bodyguard? Why did she call you 'senior'?"

"She's a bodyguard. She usually calls me 'Miss,' but that's not appropriate in the research institute, so I had her change to calling me 'Senior Sister.' Otherwise, other colleagues might mistakenly think I'm indulging in some feudalistic practices."

Expert Ning actually gave a fairly straightforward answer to Chu Jiang's question.

"Are your family assigned bodyguards? Are you from the Ning family of Zhenjiang?"

Ning Miaowei nodded, "That's normal, isn't it? Although the establishment of the research institute was led by the state, there are bound to be some ancient traditions involved. I'm just a technician, nothing special."

Chu Jiang certainly didn't believe such a modest explanation, but he didn't ask too many questions and went straight to the point, "Let's get back to Xin Xin's matter."

“Okay,” Expert Ning agreed, as she tossed the empty reagent bottle into the designated recycling bin.

"The path that Xin Xin has embarked on is very special, and we will temporarily name it [Extraction]."

"As the name suggests, as long as the power of the demon is extracted from the demon master's body periodically and made into consumable supernatural items, the demon will not have enough power to erode the demon master."

"We can even obtain a continuous stream of powerful items, which is a win-win situation."

"Of course, ideals are often far from reality. Xin Xin is almost the only successful case in our research institute."

"There are several difficulties in doing this: First, the extraction method involves the secrets of the research institute, so I won't go into too much detail; in short, it's not that simple to extract it without harming the host."

"Secondly, the Ghost Master must be able to control the ghost within his own body, which is also extremely difficult. No ghost will obediently let you take away its power."

"In fact, even Xin Xin cannot completely control Death. What we usually extract is more of the supernatural energy that Death naturally exudes."

"Thirdly, how to turn the extracted energy into supernatural props, such as the soul-summoning incense and oil-paper umbrellas that we often use."

"This also involves classified information, so I won't go into details. In short, the process requires the intervention of a Ghost Master; ordinary workers and machines cannot produce these things."

“Xin Xin’s situation is special. The ghost on her body is special. In addition, we regularly help her extract the overflowing energy and stabilize her mental state, which is why we are able to maintain this controllable state.”

Even so, she still occasionally finds herself in the situation you just saw.

"So Xin Xin is the team leader who is stationed near headquarters. If anything happens, we can deal with it immediately."

Hearing this, Chu Jiang was both amazed and somewhat unsatisfied. "Why are there so many things that can't be said?"

"Also, I feel like Xin Xin's ability to control Death has little to do with you. It's purely because she can control it herself."

Ning Miaowei felt a little embarrassed because the actual situation was pretty much as Chu Jiang had said. They were just helping Xin Xin relieve some of her stress and burden, and incidentally recycling her.

"Well, this is still a research project, so it's normal that it's not mature yet."

"As for how Xin Xin controls Death, we believe it is related to her mental state; the specifics are very complex, and we even have a crazy theory: Death was created according to Xin Xin's wishes."

"Or rather, death came chasing after the twisted darkness in her heart."

"This may be related to Xin Xin's experiences. She lost both her parents at a young age, and even her grandmother, who took care of her, passed away. She was homeless and was taken in by an orphanage. Later, although she was adopted, her adoptive parents abused her, beat her, and didn't give her food..."

"In short, a series of unfortunate events made her psychology rather distorted. Many people died on the day she became a ghost master. If the research institute hadn't intervened in time, this girl might not exist now."

When Ning, the expert, talked about Xin Xin's experience, he also felt quite sad.

Chu Jiang paused for a moment, then said, "I hope she can completely emerge from this shadow in the future."

......

The two continued talking for a while, and Ning Miaowei took the initiative to end the topic, not wanting the atmosphere to become too heavy.

She took out two prepared boxes, inside which were two tattered human-shaped dolls. "These are for you."

As she handed it to Chu Jiang, she said, "This is from my personal collection, not from the research institute. You'll need to cooperate with me more in the future, okay?"

Chu Jiang was slightly speechless. He then said, "Then let's deduct my corresponding contribution. I don't want to owe you a favor."

"Don't be like that," Ning Miaowei pretended to wipe away non-existent tears. "I just want to get along with you."

Chu Jiang's face immediately turned cold. "I was willing to cooperate with you before because you didn't cause me any real harm, and also to give the research institute some face."

“But if you continue to spout this nonsense to me, then forget about cooperating with you; I might even personally kill you.”

When Chu Jiang's attitude changed so suddenly, Expert Ning's face froze instantly. At the same time, after Chu Jiang's tone changed, she immediately felt a sense of pressure, a subconscious sense of fear...

"This, this, don't be angry, I was just joking, how could I dare to have any dirty thoughts about you?" Ning Miaowei regretted sending her bodyguard away.

Of course, she didn't think Chu Jiang would attack her now, but she hadn't experienced this feeling of facing death in a long time, which made her extremely nervous.

At the same time, for some reason, Ning Miaowei felt even more excited. She squeezed her legs together, and her lower body became slightly aroused.

Chapter 321 Farewell to the Ghost Mirror

Chu Jiang noticed Ning's strange behavior, which made him frown slightly. "What are you doing?"

Ning Miaowei shook her head repeatedly, "It's nothing."

"Let's be frank, are you after the ghost inside me?"

Otherwise, Chu Jiang couldn't have imagined why someone of Ning Miaowei's stature would be so persistent with him.

As a member of an ancient ghost master family and one of the three experts at the research institute, Ning Miaowei now has almost everything she could want.

Only things related to ghosts could make her pursue them so relentlessly.

Expert Ning coughed awkwardly, "Well, if I deny it, you definitely won't believe me."

"To put it simply, I do have some interest in Chu Zhan and hope to reach some kind of deal with you..."

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Don't even think about it. If you want to obtain Chu Zhi's power, kill me first."

"Of course, I'll kill you before you make a move; neither the research institute nor the Ghost Master family behind you can stop me."

Ning Miaowei was speechless, because Chu Jiang had completely blocked all possibilities.

At this point, Chu Jiang stood up. Before leaving, he patted Expert Ning on the shoulder and said, "If you can put away your messy little thoughts, then we can still be friends."

"This is my warning and my final advice. I hope you will take heed."

After being patted twice by Chu Jiang, Ning Miaowei's face flushed unnaturally, as if she were drunk.

She didn't answer the other person's earnest words, only managing a weak "uh".

Chu Jiang ignored the strange woman and put the doll away before heading to Expert Chen's office.

......

Only after Chu Jiang had gone far away did Expert Ning collapse onto the table, panting slightly. She slammed her fist on the table in frustration, crying out, "Why did this happen?!"

Just then, Ning Xiaorou opened the door and walked in, wearing a gas mask. "Hey, sis, didn't you hear me tell you to open the window for ventilation?"

"You prepared the reagent yourself, don't you know how effective it is? Don't think that just because you have a special constitution like Chu Jiang, he doesn't have any symptoms at all, it doesn't mean you will be fine too."

Ning Miaowei's eyes widened suddenly, and she realized, "Damn, I knew I wasn't that promiscuous!"

Although she had regained some of her strength when she spoke, Expert Ning still waved to Ning Xiaorou, "Come and help me, I need to take a shower."

"Oh no, turn on the ventilation system first, otherwise I'm afraid you'll lose your temper and do something to me."

Ning Xiaorou took off her mask, her face showing disgust, but she still did as her mistress said.

----------------

Chu Jiang and Chen Yehua communicated for a while and then went to the eleventh underground floor again.

"You want the Ghost Mirror?? Didn't you say last time that these ghostly things were unreliable? You've changed your mind already?"

"People change, and I think I can resist its temptation now." Although he said that, Chu Jiang actually changed his original plan.
