I have a ghost diary

When he first visited this floor, he planned to wait until he had complete control over the power of Chu Zang before considering replacing the Ghost Mirror.

However, after meeting Jing Ruoxue and learning a lot about the Chu lineage, he recalled the scene that the Ghost Mirror had shown him.

The ghost mirror deliberately recreated the image of him as an infant, placed at the entrance of the hospital.

Although it's unclear whether this is real or a fabricated illusion, it's at least a breakthrough point.

The Ghost Mirror may know the whereabouts of Chu Jiang's biological parents, or even the location of the family cemetery.

In addition, with the global situation becoming increasingly tense, Chu Jiang wanted to become as strong as possible in a short period of time, so he decided to replace the Ghost Mirror as soon as possible.

As for whether Chu Jiang will be ruined by this thing, that depends on his intelligence and self-control.

"Besides the Ghost Mirror, I also want to trade for that sniper rifle," Chu Jiang said as he walked.

Chen Yehua was even more surprised. "Aren't you considering anything else? That new list you just looked at has quite a few good things that I myself am craving."

"No, I have enough sealed artifacts on me. Oh, I can just replace them with another [Substitute Scarecrow]."

Due to the frequent resolution of paranormal events, the research institute currently owes Chu Jiang rewards for two C-level events and two A-level events.

The experience at the gloomy castle was rather unusual and couldn't be considered a resolution, but because Chu Jiang provided important intelligence, he received an additional reward, which allowed him to splurge now.

"Okay, the more we mobilize, the bigger the rewards will be. Let's find an opportunity to empty this place out of the way."

Jokingly, Chen Yehua first took Chu Jiang to get the black sniper rifle.

This thing was quite heavy. When Chu Jiang picked it up, he instinctively wanted to aim it at someone, but Expert Chen decisively stopped him.

So Chu Jiang had no choice but to put it away for now and try it out again after returning to Luohe City.

After taking another substitute scarecrow, the two arrived at the room where the ghost mirror was kept.

This is almost the deepest part of this floor, filled with a strong eerie atmosphere. The lights in the corridor flicker on and off, making one feel as if they have arrived at the boundary between the underworld and the mortal world.

The ghost mirror remains unchanged. It appears to be a bronze dressing mirror with a handle, its surface so smooth it reflects light, and its back covered in patina, as if it has existed for countless years.

Moreover, when Chu Jiang arrived this time, the Ghost Mirror did not show any images to tempt him, as if it had already sensed Chu Jiang's thoughts and knew that Chu Jiang would definitely take it away today.

This further confirmed Chu Jiang's initial guess: the Ghost Mirror could see into people's hearts and selectively show them certain images based on their inner desires.

Therefore, this is a sealed artifact that is difficult to use, and it is no wonder that the research institute has left it idle until now.

After observing quietly for a while, Chu Jiang did not hesitate, nor did he pretend to leave. He directly asked Expert Chen to open the door.

Because unless Chu Jiang is completely and resolutely determined to leave, Gui Jing will definitely not try to stop him.

The process went smoothly. The Ghost Mirror gave off a chilling feeling, and Chu Jiang was even momentarily dazed, feeling that everything in front of him was bizarre and unpredictable, and he couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

Expert Chen didn't notice this; he simply tossed the prepared gold ingots to the "miser" on this floor, an old ghost that instinctively guarded its treasures.

Shaking his head, Chu Jiang found that the scenery around him had returned to normal. So he cautiously put the thing into his left hand and decided to test it slowly when he got back.

Chapter 322 Martial Arts Master

Over the next few days, Chu Jiang remained at headquarters, mainly to observe the outcomes of the other Class A incidents.

Unexpectedly, instead of receiving the result, he received a "challenge letter".

Here's what happened: Chu Jiang was bored at headquarters, so he went to Yunjing City to have a meal with his old classmates Zhang Haoran and Chen Jie.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Jie is studying at a university here.

The three reunited, and although it had been less than a year since the incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, they were all quite emotional.

Zhang Haoran and Chen Jie both said that Chu Jiang had changed a lot, becoming more mature and indifferent; compared to the high school student he once was, he seemed to have experienced more than a decade of vicissitudes.

Of course, they didn't dislike Chu Jiang; they just felt he was under too much pressure and hoped that one day he could return to a normal life.

Chu Jiang simply smiled at this, promising the two that this day would come.

Even though he knew in his heart that a ghost master would always be a ghost master, and he was destined never to return to the naive boy he once was.

.......

On the way back to headquarters, a letter suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Chu Jiang.

To be honest, Chu Jiang's first reaction was: Another ghost encounter??

However, after Chu Jiang clearly saw the handwriting on the letter, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Those were a few crooked characters—"A Challenge Letter"—that looked like something a primary school student would write.

In short, Chu Jiang didn't physically touch the letter; he simply opened it remotely. The letter read:

I am Ip Man, and I have long admired the name of Captain Blood Hand Chu Jiang, the number one fighter in Asia!

I challenge Captain Chu to a duel here today. If I win, I will be number one on the power ranking.

Tonight at 9 PM, on the rooftop of the ninth unfinished building in Milfen, please advise!

After Chu Jiang finished reading it, he casually burned it. Who was this guy? Was he out of his mind? Fame really does bring a lot of trouble.

Wait a minute, after taking only two steps, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered an ID he had seen on a paranormal forum, also named Ip Man, whose writing style was consistent with this letter.

Could it be that guy?

You should know that Chu Jiang saw his post on his very first day on the forum, so he was quite impressed by it.

Forget it, it's none of my business. Chu Jiang has no intention of keeping this appointment.

But as he walked, something else occurred to him: he had just finished dinner with his classmates when this guy delivered the letter. If he couldn't wait for him, would he bother the other two instead?

Although both classmates had people from the research institute protecting them, Chu Jiang still frowned.

He stood there with his eyes closed, activating his extrasensory perception to the maximum extent.

Soon, Chu Jiang turned his head and looked at the rooftop of a building several hundred meters away. He casually took a step and appeared on the rooftop as if he had teleported, which startled Ip Man, who was watching from there.

Chu Jiang carefully examined the young man in front of him.

This was a clean-cut young man dressed in old-fashioned clothes, like a teacher from the 1970s or 80s: a simple white shirt, thick black-rimmed glasses, black cloth shoes, and a green shoulder bag, with both hands gripping the bag straps.

Although he looks fairly energetic, the young man's nervous and guilty demeanor makes him look like a thief to anyone who doesn't know him.

To Chu Jiang's surprise, he actually felt that the man's face looked somewhat familiar.

But after searching his mind, he couldn't find any clues and could only conclude that the guy had a generic face.

"So you're Ip Man? I'll give you ten seconds to explain your true purpose and intentions."

"If you still can't give me an answer in ten seconds, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"No," Ip Man raised a hand, "Today, we will only determine who is better, not who lives or dies."

"After all, you've protected a lot of innocent civilians, and I really admire you. It would be a shame to kill you."

Chu Jiang's lips twitched. Should he say this guy was too confident? Or should he say he was being looked down upon?

"As for me, my name isn't actually Ip Man; my surname is Chen. But after watching the movie, I really admired Ip Man, so that's the name I registered as my ID on the paranormal forum." The young man surnamed Chen looked quite proud when he talked about this.

"How about this, you can call yourself Ip Man, after all, a name is just a code."

Seeing that this guy was completely out of touch with reality, Chu Jiang raised his hand, intending to drag him into the ghost realm first.

But to Chu Jiang's surprise, the ghostly aura of the theater retreated from him on its own, as if a rushing river had encountered a solid reef and automatically flowed around it.

This made Chu Jiang serious; this person might very well be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Don't rush!" Ip Man stretched out his hand. "The duel is scheduled for 9 p.m. I plan to do a live stream so everyone can see our final battle."

"That way, forum users won't think I'm bragging, and the administrators won't lock my posts every day."

Upon hearing that the other party's purpose in challenging him to a duel was so "simple," Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly. He withdrew his Ghost Domain and said, "Forget it, no duel. I recommend you go see a mental hospital."

Seeing Chu Jiang turn to leave, Ip Man panicked and rushed forward to grab Chu Jiang's hand.

But Chu Jiang swiftly grabbed back, and their hands met.

Chu Jiang originally intended to break Ip Man's wrist as a small lesson. But to Chu Jiang's astonishment, Ip Man's hand was completely unharmed, and he even had the strength to fight back against him.

So Chu Jiang got serious and began to transform his entire hand into a bluish-black zombie palm.

Seeing this, Ip Man got excited. He looked very excited, as if he wanted to arm wrestle with Chu Jiang to see who was stronger.

The result is... a draw?!

Chu Jiang almost thought he was dreaming, and he could sense that his opponent was also a ghost master. In other words, this was a contest between supernatural powers, not just a simple battle of strength.

As for the opponent's ghost, Chu Jiang could only say it was very special, extremely special. He even sensed a kind of unwavering martial arts belief.

This is ridiculous! A ghost with a belief in martial arts? Is it the reincarnation of a martial arts grandmaster after his death?

Ip Man's expression was also incredulous. This was the first time he had ever seen someone who could match him in terms of "strength." You see, his usual method of dealing with ghosts was to beat them up and stuff them into a jar.

Chu Jiang is truly serious. He has raised the level of Chu Zombification to its current limit, and even added the power to interfere with reality.

In this way, Chu Jiang finally managed to gradually push down Ip Man's right hand until it was completely level.

"Bang!" The moment Chu Jiang tied the score, the hundred-meter-tall building beneath their feet collapsed and shattered, its foundation also reduced to dust!

Fortunately, this is one of the unfinished buildings of the Miffen Group, and no one lives here. Otherwise, Chu Jiang would have been hampered when he put his efforts into action.

The collapse of the building immediately attracted the attention of many people in Yunjing City, especially the Ghost Master.

Just a moment ago, they sensed a violent fluctuation of supernatural power, as if two powerful ghosts were locked in a direct confrontation...

Chapter 323 Librarian

While the other ghost masters were looking towards the battlefield, and while headquarters was rushing to send people to investigate, Ip Man was being held by one hand by Chu Jiang and hanging high in the air.

He can't fly, so of course he won't die from jumping like that.

However, that wasn't what Ip Man cared about right now; his face was filled with shock, disbelief, and resentment.

Along his journey, he faced many dangers from ghosts, but he was invincible against ghost masters, which fostered his strong self-confidence.

Even when ridiculed online, even when tormented by the ghosts within him in the dead of night, his original intention remains unchanged.

Ip Man always believed that the reason he possessed such great power was to save the world.
