I have a ghost diary

Of course, the mansion did not return to its original state. The ghost bride seemed to realize that it was unlikely she could drag Chu Jiang to the wedding.

Since suppression is ineffective, Chu Jiang can only use two methods:

One method is to forcibly control the ghost bride, ensuring that she does not resist for a short period of time, in order to have a chance of successfully sealing her away.

Another option is to beat it up, at least until it loses its ability to resist for a short period of time.

In terms of strong control, suppression is actually another form of strong control; in addition, Chu Jiang can also use the black flames of the black sun, and then combine them with memetic infection to brainwash the opponent, which can also be considered a form of strong control.

The Black Sun should be at the same level as the Ghost Bride, but whether it will succeed is unknown.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang ignited black flames on the ghost bride!

Countless phrases, each with a different volume and tone, began to echo in the ghost bride's ears: "We will live forever in heaven."

The ghost bride remained motionless, but this time, less than three seconds later, a large amount of blood-red flames erupted from its body; these blood flames and black flames fought against each other, forcibly isolating it from the ghost bride's true form.

Chu Jiang immediately increased his intensity, and a large amount of black flames surged violently from his body, as if to completely engulf the ghost bride.

However, the ghost bride was not to be outdone. Countless blood flames surged forth, and she fought Chu Jiang to a standstill.

Because Chu Jiang dared not overly exploit Black Sun, he ended up at a disadvantage after the stalemate lasted a long time.

Half an hour later, Chu Jiang silently withdrew the black flames, because if they continued to linger, the black sun would eventually erupt again.

In this way, the meme infection approach also failed.

Looking at the ghost bride quietly holding his hand, Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly, "Can't you just obediently let me seal you away? Do you have to force me to beat you up?"

If we're going to beat her up, the ghost bride should fight back, right? This time she can't just be on the defensive, can she?

However, thinking of this, Chu Jiang did not make a move immediately.

He poured the ghost diary and a sealed ceramic jar from his left hand, and using the power of the ghost realm, remotely sealed the ghost in the jar into the diary.

This time, the one sealed is an "Embroidery Ghost," which will peel off the victim's skin, pull out their hair, and drain their blood, using these materials to make exquisite embroidery pieces.

Since the ghost they encountered this time was rather unusual, Chu Jiang didn't hold back and looked at the prophecies in the ghost diary in front of the ghost bride.

Although he wasn't entirely satisfied with the last result, and there was also the Ghost Diary thing that seemed to be subtly sabotaging him, Chu Jiang would still use it when necessary.

[February 3rd, Foggy Weather]

The ghost bride is bothering me again today. Is she crazy? She's not Nie Xiaoqian, and I'm not Ning Caichen.

[That being said, after several unsuccessful attempts to seal it away, I decided to beat this demon to a pulp.]

However, some unforeseen circumstances arose during this process, and I was unable to succeed...

As the matter escalated, Mr. Xu had no choice but to intervene.

Of course, that inhuman old codger is still hiding underground; who knows if he's really nearing the end of his life? I need to be wary of this old bastard.

In the end, Mr. Xu gave me a solution to temporarily send the ghost bride away.

However, this method requires me to make certain sacrifices, and I hesitated before finally deciding to do it.

Although the incident was eventually resolved, I still feel a deep sense of loss...

The more Chu Jiang looked at the prophecy presented, the more incredible it seemed!

Why so detailed this time? Aren't you usually able to finish in three to five sentences, or at least not in a riddle? Is this to make up for the "perfunctory" answer last time?

With a skeptical look in his eyes, Chu Jiang made the Ghost Diary float up from the ground and read it carefully again.

First, Ghost Diary tells Chu Jiang that the upcoming beating will not succeed and may even escalate the situation, potentially affecting the research institute headquarters.

Then Mr. Xu will step in and guide Chu Jiang to get rid of this plague.

As for the specific methods and sacrifices to be made, the ghost diary didn't go into much detail. However, the information revealed this time was enough to save Chu Jiang from making futile attempts.

Just as Chu Jiang finished reading it for the second time and had almost decided what to do next, the Ghost Diary suddenly added new content.

But then I realized something was wrong; I had already foreseen the future through my baby's diary.

If that's the case, why should I act according to this future?

I've made up my mind. I'm going to change the future, just like I've done before.

At this moment, I suddenly had a new idea, and it has a very high success rate.

Now I possess a ghost diary, a ghost peeping through the window, a ghost taxi, and a ghost bride who won't violently resist me, as long as I don't go too far.

With that, the stringent conditions have been met.

I can drag the ghost bride by the hand and make her get into the ghost taxi, then use the power of the ghost peeking out to create an accident and force the car to stop.

The ghost naturally wouldn't die in the accident; all conditions are met, so remove the ghost bride's head.

Yes, I succeeded! This was something I'd been planning for a long time, and it actually worked on something like a ghost bride! That ghost peeking out really surprised me.

[After removing the demon bride's head, I can replace it with my own and wield the demon bride's power.]

Of course, this would allow my humanity to be corrupted by the ghostly nature of the ghost bride.

But as long as I can get my head back before I lose control, that's fine.

[Besides, I didn't need to go through all that trouble. After the ghost bride's head is removed, she will lose all ability to resist for a short period of time.]

I can feed it directly to the Ghost Diary, and then I can simply borrow the Ghost Bride's power through the diary later.

This method is so much better than the one that old geezer gave us...

Chapter 377 Thunder rumbles in winter, rivers run dry

After reading this long supplementary entry to the diary, Chu Jiang fell silent.

He finally understood why the diary's prophecy was so detailed this time. It was simple: the ghost diary desired the ghost bride's dominion; it wanted Chu Jiang to seal the ghost within the diary.

For this ghost diary, not only was a relatively detailed future provided, but a supplementary plan was also given.

The most outrageous thing is that this plan seems to have a very high success rate.

Chu Jiang looked up at the ghost bride opposite him, who was still wearing a red veil. Should he take off her head...? Although the ghost diary seemed very plausible, Chu Jiang doubted whether it would really be that easy to do so.

Moreover, according to the pattern of the ghost protruding, the ghost bride should have taken off her own head and then put Chu Jiang's head on her neck, right?

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Jiang decided to ask Mr. Xu first.

See what his plan is and what I need to contribute.

"Mr. Xu, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Chu Jiang made sure his words carried beyond the Ghost Realm. Although the volume wasn't loud, he was confident that the other party was paying attention to what was happening here and could hear what he was saying.

A few seconds later, Chu Jiang heard the aged voice again, "Speak."

"If I really can't deal with the ghost bride here, and it even affects headquarters, do you have any suggestions for me?"

Mr. Xu was somewhat surprised. "You guessed that? No, it must be because of that diary..."

"It's very simple. If you really can't solve it, then take a compromise and send the ghost bride to the [Gathering Place of Ghosts]."

"In this way, although it is not sealed away, it will not pose a threat to ordinary humans for the time being."

"A place where ghosts gather?" Chu Jiang asked, somewhat puzzled. "Where is that?"

"I saw in your file that you've been to that place, haven't you? That place with the eerie old castle..."

Chu Jiang immediately recalled his experience in the castle, and also the Ghost Buddha, from which he had brought his White Tiger Card.

"You mean you want me to take it into the castle? It should be a haunted temple now."

“No, I’m referring to the ‘world’ where the castle is located, or you could describe it as a ‘paranormal space’.” Mr. Xu’s tone held a hint of reminiscence. “It’s much larger than you can imagine; it’s a link in the chain of all things…”

Chu Jiang had a headache. The real world, the real world, and now a new world had popped up.

Even before he heard about the concept of the "real world," Chu Jiang had already made some guesses about that dark place, and even suspected that the Naihe River that had appeared in Qingyun Mountain also came from that world.

"Then how do I get the ghost bride into that place?"

Mr. Xu said calmly, "It's very simple. This ghost has a very strong obsession. You can't just kidnap it. It will keep following you."

"But if you just satisfy its obsession a little, things will be much easier."

Chu Jiang frowned upon hearing this. "What do you mean by 'slightly satisfied'?"

Mr. Xu coughed. "It's just a wedding ceremony, right? If you really don't want to, other methods are fine too. In any case, you should at least give me some incentive, right?"

Chu Jiang was speechless. "How am I supposed to give a ghost a sweet treat?"

"I don't know. I'm old and can't keep up with the times. You young people can figure it out yourselves."

After saying this last sentence, Mr. Xu stopped responding, no matter how Chu Jiang asked.

This left Chu Jiang feeling helpless; he now had two options to choose from:

One option is to spend time with the ghost bride and then temporarily send her away.

The other is to ruthlessly destroy the flower, completely squeezing out all the ghost bride's usefulness.

However, there is another factor to consider: which side is more credible?

Compared to Ghost Diary, Chu Jiang naturally trusts Mr. Xu more; even if he fails, Mr. Xu might lend a helping hand.

As for Ghost Diary, well, that ghost has always been up to no good.

Although it always hoped that Chu Jiang would seal in more ghosts, it also wanted to devour Chu Jiang.

Perhaps after swallowing its owner, it will gain more autonomy.

Moreover, Ghost Diary has been with Chu Jiang for so long, it should know its owner's personality very well.

Even if Chu Jiang were to remove the ghost bride's head, he couldn't seal the ghost into the diary, just as he hasn't fed the false god into the diary yet.

Therefore, the credibility of the Ghost Diary's proposed solution is debatable.

After all, this is supplementary content, and strictly speaking, it's not considered today's prediction.

As Chu Jiang pondered, the ghost bride stood quietly in place, as if she could remain in this contact with her "beloved" for eternity, through the changing times, the thunder of winter, and the drying up of rivers.

Chu Jiang looked up at the ghost and remembered the bloody tears that fell when the ghost bride couldn't find him last time; he remembered the ghost bride wandering on Qingyun Mountain, searching for his figure in loneliness.

He recalled the peacock flying southeast, lingering every five miles...
