I have a ghost diary

"This kind of thing is naturally not something that a junior like him can decide. We, the elders of this generation and the previous generation, discussed it and decisively rejected his proposal."

"Seeing he couldn't dissuade us, Chen Tianrang secretly took [Wudu] with him and headed south..."

When Chen Ching-kuo spoke of it, he was also very emotional. "Of course, at that time we didn't know that the diary had been lost. We just asked his parents to send him a message: let him do whatever he wants, but he must not claim to be a member of the Chen family of Yenjing."

"After that incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, I believe you know more about it than we do."

"After Chen Tianrang's death, we re-inspected the family treasury and discovered the diary was missing. In fact, we still don't know how he stole it; opening the treasury requires collecting keys from several branches of the Chen family..."

Chen Ching-kuo frowned. "I can only say that whenever the supernatural resurges, this diary starts acting up. It was the same last time, and it's the same this time..."

"When you got the diary, how many ghosts were still inside?"

"One," Chu Jiang replied truthfully.

“Indeed, indeed,” Chen Ching-kuo shook his head and sighed repeatedly, “I’m afraid the ghosts that escaped from the diary have all become part of this round of supernatural resurgence.”

"I just don't know when the ghosts inside escaped?"

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "It shouldn't have happened at the school, it was probably much earlier, otherwise Luoxi No. 7 Middle School would have had an accident long ago."

Chen Jingguo nodded, "In short, after learning that only a few of you were left alive at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, we suspected that the diary that Chen Tianrang took away might have ended up in your hands."

"Later, the video of your battle against the Black Sun that circulated online further confirmed our suspicions."

“But we have no intention of asking you to return it, because this thing has obviously been opened, and it could very well cause a huge disaster, or even lead to the destruction of our Chen family.”

"Now that it has fallen into your hands, I hope you can control it well, otherwise the world may face a bloodbath..."

Chen Xiaodong was completely bewildered by the conversation between Chu Jiang and Chen Jingguo. He felt like he was listening to a fairy tale, and there were many terms he didn't understand.

Neither of them paid him any attention, and Chu Jiang continued, "What about those two notes? Who wrote them? Were they also written by your Chen family ancestors?"

If it was written by the same person, why would the handwriting be so different? This is something Chu Jiang can't understand.

"A note?" Chen Ching-kuo asked, puzzled. "What note?"

Chu Jiang was somewhat incredulous. "It's just a note pasted on the cover of the diary."

The first page said this diary could predict the future and asked me how I would use it;

"The second one advised me not to open this diary unless I was mentally prepared to die suddenly."

Chen Ching-kuo's expression was even more incredulous than Chu Chiang's. "No, there was absolutely nothing like that in the original diary, and there has never been any similar hint in our family records."

"This..." Chu Jiang was somewhat confused.

As for why Chen Tianrang didn't just open the diary directly but instead kept it in a secret room, Chu Jiang always believed that it was these two notes that made him hesitate and unable to make up his mind.

It was Chu Jiang, this hothead, who, unaware of the cause and effect, and driven by curiosity, ignored the advice and opened the diary directly in class.

After he opened them, the two notes vanished into thin air, without a trace.

Chapter 325 The Two Scattered Pages

But if these two notes didn't exist in the first place, then who would have left them?

It couldn't possibly be Chen Tian who asked him to do it, could it?

After much deliberation, Chu Jiang created a small-scale ghost domain around himself and "reproduced" the two notes from his memory so that Chen Jingguo could view them directly.

"This is the note."

Chen Ching-kuo looked at it again and again, and still shook his head. "This thing may not have been left by a person. It may have been left by a ghost that escaped from the diary before, or even by two ghosts separately."

Chen Xiaodong found it hard to believe, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Can ghosts write?"

"Also, if there really are two ghosts, shouldn't there be one before the other? Why didn't the ghost in the second place tear up the note left by the ghost in the first place?"

The two notes offer conflicting advice: the former tempts the reader to open the note, while the latter warns against it.

"Perhaps the intention was to deter cautious people from acting recklessly by using two completely contradictory comments, because some intelligent people tend to overthink things."

Chen Ching-kuo made a comment and then stopped paying attention to it. He looked at Chu Jiang seriously and said, "Since you've come to me, there's some important information about the two scattered pages of the diary that I need to tell you."

"Those two pages of the diary were not blank; each page contained a vengeful ghost."

"They might even be S-class beings, because in our family's records, the two pages that were torn out sealed the two most powerful demons in the diary."

Chu Jiang was quite surprised. "If we tear off the diary that seals the ghost, is the ghost still sealed?"

"It still is, but the effect is definitely not as good as when it's in the diary, where there's a possibility of escape."

At this point, Chen Ching-kuo's mood became somewhat heavy. "Moreover, our Chen family is almost certain that one of them has escaped, and we even know where it is."

"Which one is it? It can't be the Black Sun, can it?" Although Chu Jiang was eager to know, he still tried to ask in a calm tone.

"It should be that [False God] from Texas, USA."

Chen Ching-kuo's answer was completely unexpected by Chu Jiang. "Did he run away abroad...?" he muttered to himself.

"That page of the diary must have had a very complicated history. In any case, the ghost in it finally escaped. There are records of it in the ancestors' records, including its appearance and the areas it controls."

"Our ancestors named the false god 'Mu Gui,' meaning a ghost that admires the gods. It seems to have the instinct to spontaneously develop believers and also has the ability to seal this realm."

"After the false god incident broke out and became known to people in the global paranormal community, we obtained some information by communicating with the research institute."

"Although the photos are blurry and there is not much relevant information, based on the existing evidence, we still strongly suspect that the false god is Mu Gui."

"I wonder if the remaining page of the diary is still with it..."

Chu Jiang carefully noted this down, which gave him yet another reason to make a trip to the United States.

He wasn't interested in the false god, but rather in the page of the diary; only with the two missing pages could the diary be considered complete.

Moreover, Chu Jiang wasn't saying he absolutely had to piece the diary back together; he just wanted it to stay with him, which was better than it being lost elsewhere. He could even, if necessary, use a method to make the ghost diary even more powerful.

Of course, this method should be used with caution.

Furthermore, the false god actually possesses abilities related to [sealing]? This surprised Chu Jiang greatly. Could He also seal other ghosts? Just like in Ghost Diaries.

Chu Jiang pressed for details on this point, but Chen Jingguo didn't seem to know much about it either, only saying that the written records from his ancestors were limited and that this was all he knew.

Therefore, Chu Jiang inquired about information related to the other ghost.

"The other ghost, named by our ancestors as 'Whispering,' is very mysterious, and there are even fewer written records about it, only a few sentences."

"All we know is that its true form is a very peculiar entity that can emit mysterious and eerie whispers that make those who hear them believe in it from the bottom of their hearts."

"Moreover, it has the ability to predict this field and can, to some extent, know what will happen in the future."

Wait, this description...

Chu Jiang found it hard to believe; this seemed to match the divine power of the Holy Word Sect.

He also remembered the missionary texts on the leaflets, including things like not talking about God and listening to God's whispers.

Moreover, Chu Jiang had previously speculated about that god, suggesting that the other party might possess a certain degree of precognitive ability, which was why the blonde nun was able to ambush him on his way home.

The phrase "holy yet wanton flesh" also seems to have a hidden meaning, as if the Church of the Holy Word had already prepared everything for him.

Whether this is a benefit or a trap remains to be seen.

Finally, Chu Jiang discovered something bizarre: the Ghost Diary spanned three realms, or rather, combined three systems: Domination, Sealing, and Prophecy.

Now, these "Ghostly Admiration" and "Whispering" actually correspond to one of these abilities respectively.

Could it be that the power of the Demon Diary was originally obtained by stealing or "imprinting" the abilities of these two demons?

This further confirmed Chu Jiang's previous idea: the Holy Word Sect's goal was never him, but the ghost diary in his hands.

Looking back on everything, Chu Jiang felt both a sense of coincidence and a sense of inevitability.

It's not that the Holy Word Sect happens to be related to Ghost Diary, but rather that they are inherently connected, which is why Chu Jiang frequently encounters and conflicts with the Holy Word Sect.

Seeing Chu Jiang deep in thought, Chen Jingguo continued slowly, "This ghost shouldn't have shown itself yet, and even if it has, it shouldn't have caused much of an impact."

"Otherwise, with such advanced global communication, if a new S-class vengeful ghost were to appear and cause large-scale casualties, it would be impossible for people not to pay attention."

"Of course, correspondingly, we have no way of knowing where this page of the diary is."

"The main reason I've said all this is to remind you to be careful about your own safety."

"After all, S-class ghosts are different from ordinary ghosts; they are more like some kind of advanced life form."

"While they retain some of the instincts of demons, some of them may have already developed consciousness, a consciousness of their true self."

"In this way, they might remember the ghost diary, or even the experiences described in it; if you, as the owner of the diary, encounter them, you might be hunted down regardless of the rules."

Chapter 326 A Battle at Headquarters

Chu Jiang nodded slightly at Chen Jingguo's reminder.

He actually wanted to say that the God of the Divine Word Church may not have had no significant impact.

Few people openly know of its existence, and it is quite possible that it has already infiltrated a considerable area and cultivated a group of devout and loyal followers...

However, after thinking it over, Chu Jiang didn't say too much. After all, the Chen family clearly didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. If he hadn't come knocking on their door this time, the two sides wouldn't have even had this conversation.

So Chu Jiang simply said, "Regarding the ghost of the delirious talk, perhaps it has already appeared."

“Recently I have been investigating a Western religion called the Word of God. The god they worship may be just talking nonsense.”

"Of course, this is just my guess, and it may not be correct. I'm just letting you know for now."

Chen Ching-kuo was somewhat taken aback. He pondered for a moment and nodded. "Okay, if this religion spreads into the country, we will pay attention; but if it only spreads abroad, we may not pay too much attention to it."

This answer was exactly what Chu Jiang expected, so he didn't discuss it too much afterward, nor did he ask why the Chen family of Yanjing chose to live in seclusion.

Of course, Chu Jiang was well aware that even if the other party had gone into seclusion, they still possessed considerable strength and connections. Their Ghost Master family not only had close ties with the system, but also seemed to maintain some cooperation with research institutes.

There might even be members of their family holding high positions within the research institute; after all, everyone needs a backup plan...

Seeing that their conversation had finally come to a temporary end, Chen Xiaodong couldn't wait any longer and looked at Chen Jingguo with the eyes of a curious child, "Uncle, although I don't quite understand what you're saying, it seems very impressive. Why haven't you told me about these things before?"

"Also, what does the Chen family of Yanjing mean? We used to be a prestigious family? Does that mean I'm no longer a young master or a nobleman?"

"This is not a good idea. Modern society doesn't really encourage these things anymore. We should discard those feudal dregs, promote civility, establish new customs, and be good young people in all aspects."
