I have a ghost diary

The black-clad henchmen behind him immediately bowed and greeted him loudly, but Chu Jiang could only understand the last three words, which should be "Captain Chu".

The archery woman also bowed, saying, "The Uesugi family, Uesugi Hinagiku, has come to welcome Captain Chu!"

To be honest, the commotion these people made naturally attracted the attention of many passengers in the airport.

However, the airport staff responsible for maintaining order simply turned a blind eye, so no one else dared to say anything, except that someone secretly took out their phone to record a video...

Captain of the 13th Division... Chu Jiang was speechless. Are you Jushiro Ukitake??

"Alright, take me somewhere to stay first." Chu Jiang, holding the baby, took the initiative to walk outside, and the people from the Seireitei immediately followed.

Kazuya Uesugi smiled and said to Chu Jiang, "Would you like me to hold the child? Also, we have already contacted Michiko's family, and you can hand her over to us at any time."

Chu Jiang glanced at Michiko, "Is this girl trustworthy?"

Michiko was still a little confused when she saw these people, because she had previously been a low-level demon shaman in Seireitei and had never seen these high-ranking officials before.

Just then, Kazuya Uesugi took out a strange red collar with a mouth on it and handed it to Chu Jiang.

"This thing can help the child speak."

He also gave Chu Jiang a pair of translation earphones, similar to those provided by BRPD. These were high-tech products that were not sold to the public, and each pair had a very high production cost, making them almost impossible for ordinary people to afford.

Although some minor errors are unavoidable during translation, it is perfectly fine for everyday use.

Chu Jiang took the collar and glanced at it. It seemed to be some kind of sealing artifact, and not very harmful.

However, he didn't put it around Michiko's neck, but only on her right hand. This thing can automatically shrink in size, so there's no need to worry about it not fitting.

As soon as the collar was on, Michiko adjusted for a moment, and then a chilling female voice emanated from her mouth, as if it were uttered by a vengeful spirit, "I, I, you..."

Michiko spoke not in Japanese or Chinese, but in a language she had never heard before, yet all who heard it could understand it.

"That's right, I don't know these people, but they should be executives of the Seireitei, and probably members of one of the three founding families."

While Michiko was speaking, Uesugi Kazuya handed a letter to Chu Jiang, saying, "This is a letter from that ancestor. You may take a look."

Chu Jiang took the neatly folded letter. Sure enough, it was in Mr. Xu's handwriting. The gist of it was that he wanted future generations to cooperate with him, saying that he was looking for something.

This surprised Chu Jiang somewhat. "Are you descendants of the Xu family?"

Hinagiku Uesugi answered before her brother could, "Yes, our bloodline has always had the blood of the Xu family of Kyushu, it's just that it's not known to outsiders."

As for why they don't have the surname Xu, Chu Jiang knows the answer with his own eyes. Given the xenophobic mentality of the Japanese, how could this mixed-race Sino-Japanese family possibly become one of the "Three Great Families"?

Moreover, Mr. Xu must have met a woman from the Uesugi family back then, but he ran away after the affair, and it's normal that she took her mother's surname.

After confirming her identity, Chu Jiang nodded and looked at Michiko in his arms. "The operation I'm about to undertake is quite dangerous, so you'd better not get involved."

"You left a deep impression on me last time in the castle. I hope you can grow up healthy again."

Michiko hesitated for a moment, "I was going to say that if there's anything I can do to help, Captain Chu, just tell me; but considering my current state, I'd better not hold you back."

"All I can say is, I wish you great success in your military endeavors."

Chu Jiang smiled and said, "Okay."

After leaving the airport and getting into the prepared car, Chu Jiang first handed Michiko over to Uesugi Hinagiku.

Then he asked, "Where is the destination?"

Kazuya Uesugi replied respectfully, “Our Uesugi family owns a property near Narita Airport. We would like to take you there to stay for now; if you would like to visit the Seireitei headquarters first, that is also possible.”

PS: Related to Chapter 373

Chapter 373 was rejected by the review committee. I'm speechless... How could this be censored? And it was rejected on Friday evening. Judging from the review committee's working hours and efficiency, this chapter won't be unblocked until next week at the earliest. I'm so tired.

..............................

Chapter 380 The Seireitei's Request

Chu Jiang, of course, did not go to Seireitei. Instead, he and the Uesugi family went to a classical courtyard with a garden.

Upon arrival at their destination, Daisy first handed Michiko over to her family to be picked up, and then led the way, guiding everyone into the main hall.

Someone was already waiting there. As soon as Uesugi Kazuya opened the door, Chu Jiang saw a woman in a kimono with a noble air kneeling on the tatami mat, waiting.

On either side of her were two other people: one was a fat man with a face full of scars, smoking a pipe; the other was a middle-aged man dressed as a ronin, with a sword at his waist.

Upon seeing Chu Jiang enter, the three of them stood up simultaneously.

The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Welcome to Tokyo, Captain Chu. We at Seireitei have been waiting for you for a long time."

The fat man also said in a polite tone, "Welcome, Captain Chu. As long as you can help us solve the [Ghost Abyss] incident, please feel free to make any requests."

Both greeted each other in Japanese. In the corner of the room, there was an inconspicuous female secretary acting as a translator. Human intervention is always better than machine intervention.

Only the woman in the kimono remained silent, observing Chujiang.

Similarly, Chu Jiang was also observing the other person intently. This woman... he had seen her before.

Is she even human? I thought she was a ghost at first, but it seems she was also a human who had mistakenly entered that dark world, just like me. Except I went to the castle, while she went to Kisaragi Station.

Actually, Chu Jiang shouldn't have passed through the station in the first place. It was only because he forcibly got off the bus and then took a taxi on another route that he accidentally passed through other stations.

After returning to the real world, Chu Jiang even searched for the station name 【きさらぎ駅】.

The result was the name "Kisaragi Station," a haunted station in Japan that is famous for its strangeness; occasionally, people wander into it and disappear.

"Suwa, the eldest daughter, Suwa, Zao Xue." The woman in the kimono placed her hands in front of her lower abdomen and nodded slightly to Chu Jiang in a respectful greeting.

Chu Jiang responded calmly, "Chu Jiang."

Then he looked at the three people opposite him and said, "Are you all from the Seireitei? I mean, have you misunderstood something? I'm just here for tourism."

The middle-aged man coughed. "I am Uesugi Kenichiro, and this gentleman next to me is Mr. Kujo Yoshii of the Kujo family."

"We, the three Onmyoji families, are the current administrators of Seireitei, and are collectively known as the Gosanke."

"Of course, we are not here in an official capacity, but simply to make friends with Mr. Chu."

“But that’s not what someone said just now,” Chu Jiang said calmly.

Kujo Yoshii was somewhat embarrassed. He took a deep drag on his pipe and said, "In fact, our Kujo family is very interested in Captain Chu. There are some collaborations we can discuss privately."

Chu Jiang waved his hand expressionlessly, "I have no interest in you or in the Seireitei; let's go, or I'll have to kick you out."

"Kazuya and Hinagiku can stay. I have some questions for you."

Kenichiro's face froze, while Kujo Yoshii's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised by Chu Jiang's rudeness. He was the head of the Kujo family; how dare someone speak to him like that?!

Only Soga Hayate remained silent. After nodding to Chu Jiang again, she took the initiative to leave.

Chu Jiang ignored them, walked to the tea table, sat down cross-legged, and poured himself some tea.

Kenichiro coughed, then gestured to his two juniors with his eyes before bidding farewell to Chu Jiang and leaving.

Kujo Yoshii was somewhat dissatisfied, but given Chujiang's "notorious reputation," he dared not say anything more and simply left without looking back.

After everyone had left, leaving only the two members of the Uesugi family, Chu Jiang invited them to sit down.

"Let me be frank, I'm not here for tourism, I'm just looking for something."

"Mr. Xu said that there are relevant clues here, and you can provide me with some help, so I don't mind having some small cooperation with your Uesugi family."

"However, there are some things I'd like to clarify first. Do you also want me to deal with Ghost Abyss?"

In theory, Chu Jiang should have been able to find the Bell of Two Realms much faster by cooperating directly with the Seireitei.

However, he was not entirely at ease with the organization, especially since the three families seemed to have their own agendas and were not entirely on the same side.

Therefore, given the choice, Chu Jiang would prefer to cooperate with Mr. Xu's descendants, even though the Uesugi family cannot be considered entirely one of his own.

Kazuya and the Hinagiku siblings exchanged a glance, and then Kazuya took the initiative to say, "Although we have the Xu family blood in our veins, this country is, after all, the place where we grew up, so naturally we don't want S-class vengeful spirits to ravage this land."

"If possible, we still hope that Captain Chu can take action."

"Of course, it all depends on your own wishes; we can only try our best to offer you conditions that will appeal to you."

The Uesugi family's base of operations is in Japan, so Chu Jiang could understand their thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you know that the false god incident has not been completely resolved?"

Both nodded. Although this was top secret, they were descendants of the three royal families.

"Then I think you should be very clear that no matter how exaggerated the praise I receive online, I am also a human being with limits. Venturing into the Ghost Abyss means I have to risk my life."

"So at this stage, I won't make any promises; you just need to help me find that thing first, and I won't let you suffer any losses."

“Mmm,” Daisy nodded repeatedly, “What kind of thing is it? Can you describe its general appearance and characteristics?”

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, then took out a flyer and asked, "Where are you?"

"Beside you." As the magnetic, seductive voice fell, the flyer folded up on its own, transforming into a female paper figure in Chu Jiang's hand.

The paper figure looks very similar to Bayonetta, especially to her when she's wearing a black robe and hood.

Chu Jiang placed it on the tea table. "You should contact these two. They are from the Uesugi family. We'll try our best to get our hands on that bell without causing too much of a commotion."

Belfast was well aware of the Uesugi family's status in the island nation, and she said earnestly, "All we know for now is that it's a bell, but the design is unclear. It might be used as a 'Hontsubo Suzuki' by some shrine."

"Do you have a way to check all the Hontsubo bells at every shrine nationwide? Or find an excuse to replace them all?"

“This…” Kazuya hesitated for a moment, “The Honpō bell is no ordinary thing; its sound is a sound that leads to the realm of the gods.”

“Some shrines’ bells have been passed down for hundreds of years, or even longer, so they can’t be replaced so easily.”

Chapter 381 The Inescapable Ghost Abyss

Daisy also started thinking, "If this is the only clue, then we might have to go door to door, which would take a long time."

Chu Jiang looked at the paper doll Sister Bei, who also looked back at him, seemingly expecting him to reveal more information.

Chu Jiang was speechless. "All I know is that there's a very scary ghost chasing after the sound of this bell. Oh no, to be precise, there are two."

"Let's start by checking the large, historically significant shrines. If we still can't find the bell by then, we can think of other solutions."

"By the way," Chu Jiang looked at Sister Bei, "how did you know that the bell was in a certain shrine?"
