I have a ghost diary

Everyone fell silent for a moment. What should they do now?

If they stayed any longer, they would likely be attacked by the "nuns" again and die with almost no chance of resistance.

But even if they tried to escape, they couldn't. Their physical bodies were now seemingly motionless, their minds no longer able to control their bodies; it was practically a dead end.

"Captain Chu, do you have any ideas?" Anderson asked with some difficulty.

"There's no other way but to find a breakthrough by dealing with this kid." Chu Jiang wasn't too worried in the short term, because even if he didn't resist, killing him now wouldn't be so easy.

It's even possible that it could threaten Chu Jiang's physical body, causing him to wake up from his dream.

Of course, Chu Jiang did not consider himself immortal; he was a human, not a ghost.

“But,” Jade questioned, “this child seems to be awake, meaning she’s not in the dream world, so how could we possibly find her in this city?”

Chu Jiang fell into deep thought; this was indeed a big problem.

"I want to save you. You won't die. Believe me. Let me find you. There's still hope." Chu Jiang tried to persuade the little girl, who he didn't know was a good person or a bad person.

The little girl paused for two or three minutes, as if she had rested for a while, before she had the strength to reply, "I don't know if you are dreaming, but you can go and see God's fortress."

“I think I might be at the very bottom of the fortress, in the most dangerous place, which is why the nuns haven’t found me yet.”

The word "fortress" immediately brings to mind the Church of Terrell for everyone.

So, we're going to Terrell Church to find this little girl? This is increasingly resembling a trap; everyone knows the false god has always been in the church.

And even if the little girl really was in the church, and they went to the church in the dream world, would that make any difference?

"Okay, I'll try to go to the fortress first and find a way back to the real world. Hang in there." At least in his words, Chu Jiang showed trust in the little girl.

Then he said to Anderson, "If you share the same idea, then we'll meet at the entrance of Terrell Church; otherwise, please do as you see fit."

Chapter 354 Electronic Ghost

After Chu Jiang finished speaking, he headed towards the Terrell Church.

Anderson didn't give an immediate reply. The remaining four discussed it for a while before deciding to go. After all, they couldn't escape now, and they couldn't wake up, so they could only try their luck in the most dangerous place.

There's a premise here: Is the false god also in the dream world, or in the real world...?

Terrell Church is a typical Gothic classical building located in western El Paso. It has a pointed vaulted ceiling, which is said to be designed to be closer to heaven.

Nearly half of the West District was sealed off by BRPD personnel, so when Chu Jiang arrived at the fountain square in front of the church, he didn't see a single human being.

Moreover, as soon as he arrived in this area, Chu Jiang had a strange feeling; his body... seemed to become unstable.

Chu Jiang looked at his hands in astonishment. His body had begun to flicker, like an unstable electric current, or rather, like an unstable image.

What's going on here? Has the dream world changed?

Moreover, Chu Jiang discovered that the closer he got to the church, the more severe this phenomenon became.

Soon, Anderson and his three companions appeared from another direction.

The leader was a white man dressed as a soldier with a short beard, followed by a man and two women.

The man was a Black man dressed like a magician; the woman was dressed like a witch, with silver hair and holding a crystal ball.

Finally, there's Jade, dressed in a black robe.

Even with the naked eye, Chu Jiang could see that these people's bodies were also in an unstable state, flickering from time to time.

Anderson approached quickly with a serious expression. After exchanging greetings, he asked, "What's going on now? Is this group's dream about to collapse?"

Chu Jiang shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. There must be something wrong inside the church. If we really go deep inside, it might disappear completely."

Since even consciousness has disappeared, then even if the body is still alive, it is considered completely dead.

“I’ll give it a try,” the black magician said, taking off his hat and pulling out a mummy rabbit, a skull dove, and a fish woven from resentment. He then sent them into the church to examine them, one from the air, one from the ground, and one from the fountain pool.

Everyone looked at the magician, waiting for his reply.

But to their surprise, less than a minute later, a large red box suddenly appeared above the magician's head, with a red English word flashing inside: Warning!

Everyone immediately went on alert, but before they could take any further action, the red warning words suddenly changed to two black words: Data Delete.

As soon as the transformation was complete, the black magician, who had just taken out a blanket and was trying to "disappear," suddenly vanished as a stream of data.

This blue data stream, composed of countless 01010101, vanished from everyone's sight as if giving them a "surprise".

During this time, Chu Jiang deployed his Ghost Domain in an attempt to retain the data stream, but it simply vanished into thin air and could not be retrieved.

In the blink of an eye, another person died. The remaining survivors immediately fled the church, and the witch looked terrified. "What happened? What happened! Why was he deleted? Are we dreaming?"

Anderson looked grim, and Jade was also somewhat at a loss, only Chu Jiang remained calm.

He frowned. "Perhaps we're all wrong. We're not dreaming... This could be an electronic world where our souls and consciousness have been uploaded to the internet."

Chu Jiang recalled the intelligence he had read before: on the day the false god appeared, its image was displayed on all electronic screens throughout Texas.

Chu Jiang had previously thought that the other party had the ability to control electronic devices, but judging from the current situation, the false god may have digitized himself and uploaded it to the network!

This also explains why the video that was saved afterward did not show the figure of the false god.

Because the data stream of a false god cannot stay in one place forever, it may return to the real world or wander into other networks.

"What is this? An electronic ghost?" Jade murmured incredulously.

Chu Jiang was also quite troubled. This false god could perhaps no longer be called "Mu Gui" (慕鬼). After its resurgence in modern times, it had likely undergone an evolution by leveraging the highly developed global network.

This ability could not have existed from the beginning, because there was no Internet in ancient Kyushu.

"What do we do now?" The witch had lost her composure and kept glancing at the others, afraid that she would also be suddenly [data deleted].

Now they are like meat on a chopping board, with no autonomy whatsoever.

Chu Jiang paused for a moment, then asked the air, "Little sister, are you still there?"

"Mmm," the other person responded with a nasal tone, their voice weak.

"We can't get into God's fortress; if we try, we'll be deleted. Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't know, I don't know, run, run away quickly..."

The situation reached a stalemate. Chu Jiang pondered for a moment, realizing that the only way for him to return to reality was to restart time, given the sealed artifacts and the abilities of the ghosts he controlled.

But here's the problem: this ability has its limits. Almost two hours have passed since Chu Jiang entered this electronic world. How could he be that monstrous?

Even if the Black Sun himself came, he probably couldn't turn back time to two hours ago.

Moreover, there is an even more terrifying possibility: Chu Jiang thought he could use his abilities, but in reality, it was all just his imagination.

Because he is now a stream of data, his sealed objects and his demons are all inside his body. How can a stream of data borrow the power of a demon?

Furthermore, the death of the black magician was also suspected to be related to this. He did not actually go in; he only used the magician's abilities to create several small "pets" to go in and investigate.

As a result, he himself was deleted, not the pets or the ghost.

This shows that those little guys only look like pets; in fact, they are part of the magician's own data.

The magician triggered the church's, or rather the core server's, defense mechanism, and was therefore directly eliminated.

Looking back now, Chu Jiang's decision to enter El Paso in the first place was a huge mistake. He never expected that stepping into this strange city would immediately plunge him into a desperate situation.

Chapter 355 "Whispers" Makes a Move

Just as everyone was at a loss, the little girl's urgent voice rang out again, "Xiu, the nun is here again, one... Ah! Big brother, she's choking you."

Chu Jiang subconsciously felt a tightness around his neck, as if an incredibly powerful force was clamping down on his throat and rapidly compressing inwards, as if trying to twist his head off.

Unfortunately, despite the apparent strength, Chu Jiang's neck wasn't even marked, and his data stream functioned normally in the electronic world.

This is why Chu Jiang wasn't too worried about the main body in the short term. Unless the false god personally attacked him, these small fry couldn't possibly kill him in a short time.

What is more vulnerable now is Chu Jiang's spirit and his will.

Seeing that Chu Jiang seemed to be alright for the time being, the other three were somewhat surprised. Could it be that the little girl gave them wrong information this time?

"How is it now?" Jade asked anxiously.

The little girl seemed incredulous. "The nun couldn't kill the big brother, and then she seemed to be dragging him back to the fortress."

Chu Jiang's heart tightened. The false god was inside the fortress. Was he going to send him back to the BOSS for disposal?

No, we have to get back to the real world as soon as possible, or who knows what might happen...

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang glanced at Jade and asked, "Were you praying to your god earlier?"

“Yes,” Jade answered naturally. Anyway, everyone else knew she had a faith, but they weren’t quite sure which place or tribe’s indigenous god she believed in.

"Are you sure it can still hear your prayers under these circumstances?"

“I’m sure,” Jade seemed to have absolute faith in her God. “God hears the whispers of devout believers anytime, anywhere.”

"Then let it do it. Sister Bay promised me before, so this is a collaboration."

“Bei, Sister Bei?” Jade paused for a moment before realizing that this might be referring to Belfast.

Although she found the title strange, it was a good thing that the other party hadn't revealed the Pope's full name; moreover, Jade had overheard Chu Jiang's conversation with the Pope earlier, so she naturally wouldn't refuse now.

At first, Jade didn't quite understand why Chu Jiang didn't take out the flyer to use, but when she lowered her head to pray, she thought about it carefully and understood.

The items they carry with them now may not be genuine...

The remaining two members of BRPD couldn't quite understand Chu Jiang and the others' conversation, but it seemed they had made some kind of agreement beforehand?

Just as they were speculating, Jade uttered a series of rapid, short, and shrill sounds.

The sound was so inhuman it seemed like a low murmur or a frantic babbling; no one could understand its meaning, and the more they listened, the more a sharp, stabbing pain they felt in their minds.

Anderson and the witch instinctively frowned and covered their ears.

But it was no use. The sounds instilled a sense of pain and fear in people. They flowed from Jade's mouth like a filthy river, bringing unease and confusion to all who heard them.

Chu Jiang was also somewhat surprised. It seemed that Jie De had been quite restrained earlier and hadn't gone all out.

A short while later, Jade shut her mouth, but the terrifying whispers did not dissipate; they lingered around the four of them, becoming increasingly clear.

This caused Anderson and the witch great distress; even Chu Jiang felt his head buzzing, as if something was trying to crawl into his brain and stir it up.
