I have a ghost diary

"Help! I don't want to die!"

The retainers of the Kujo family, expressionless, were pushing the bound men and women into a large pit.

At the bottom of the pit was a writhing mass of flesh and blood with countless mouths, which devoured one terrified and weeping human after another; after eating about thirty to fifty people, the flesh and blood finally turned back into human form.

This was a pale-faced man dressed in a kimono; his expression was rather unpleasant at the moment.

This was Kujou Kazuki, who had indeed died in Oni-Above.

However, because Kujo Kazuki carried a "teru teru bozu" (a doll that could take his place in death), the doll left at the Kujo family shrine replaced his original form at the moment of his death.

This is an incredibly powerful method, but it comes at a great cost.

When Kujo Kazuki "comes back to life," all the demons within him will simultaneously revive, meaning that both humans and demons will be resurrected.

If this is not handled properly, it could not only result in the user being killed by a ghost, but could also create a supernatural event with a wide-ranging impact.

Fortunately, the most vicious and ferocious demon inside Kazuki Kujo can be controlled at will as long as it has human bones, blood, and flesh to consume.

So when Kujo Kazuki returned to the shrine, the Kujo family, who had already prepared the "offerings," immediately offered up his flesh and blood.

Kujou Kazuki used this demon to suppress the other three demons inside his body, which allowed him to return to human form.

When Kujo Yoshii saw this, his expression was not good either. This doll was the reason why he was willing to let the Kujo family's ace go on an adventure into the Demon Abyss.

The dolls have now been used up, but the Ghost Abyss incident is clearly not yet resolved.

"How's the situation over there? Did you die at the hands of Orochi? What about that Kyushu person?"

Kujou Kazuki slowly floated up from the bottom of the pit. He said with a gloomy expression, "We were separated after entering the Demon Abyss. I don't know about the others."

After saying that, he looked at his hands with a complicated expression. "I originally had a chance to break free from the hallucination, but perhaps I subconsciously knew that I still had a life-saving doll; so my struggle in the hallucination was not as intense as I imagined."

"As for Tanaka, he's probably going to die if nothing unexpected happens; Soga Sayoyuki might be able to break free; and that Kyushu guy probably won't die either."

Muttering to himself, Kujou Kazuki looked at the head of the family, "Let me go one more time. Even if I fall into the illusion again this time, I am confident that I can break free."

Kujo Yoshii shook his head vigorously, "If anything were to happen to you, our Kujo family could not bear the loss."

"Moreover, something happened to Aino. Although she is still reporting to me, I asked her to return to the main family temporarily, but she made all sorts of excuses to refuse."

"I suspect Chu Jiang may already know that we are going to take action against him."

"Under these circumstances, you absolutely cannot die in the Abyss of Ghosts."

“In that case,” Kujo Yoshii said in a consultative tone, “if Chujiang dies down there, it will be a pity, but the plan will have to be temporarily suspended.”

"If he returns alive, regardless of whether the Oni-Above incident has been resolved, we must take the initiative as soon as possible and lure him to the shrine."

"This plan concerns the interests of our Kujo family for generations to come, even dozens or hundreds of generations to come. We can only succeed; failure is not an option!"

Kujo Kazuki paused for a moment. He had also read Chu Jiang's information and knew his personality; he was basically someone who would seek revenge for any wrong done to him.

As a result, a conflict between the two sides is inevitable, and the Kujo family does need a high-end combat force that can temporarily counter the other side.

In the end, he nodded and said, "For the sake of the Kujo family, my personal reputation and ambitions are insignificant."

"Let's start the final preparations. I don't think he'll die so easily in the Ghost Abyss."

......

On Chu Jiang's side, after losing contact with Soga Sayuki, he began to read the Ghost Diary.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't about seeing that ridiculous prophecy. It's just that too many ghosts were sealed in last time, and Chu Jiang is looking to see if anyone has the ability to control negative emotions.

After searching around, Chu Jiang couldn't find anything particularly restrained; even if he himself became a heartless ghost, there was still a limit to the negative emotions he could bear.

Once you bear too much, you'll end up like those five ghostly dragons, stuck in a stiff, sluggish, and motionless state, at most you won't feel any pain as a result.

How about we try a different approach? Chu Jiang had already read through the diary from beginning to end, but now he's starting to read it from end to beginning again.

When Chu Jiang turned to the page on "The Masked Ghost" and placed his palm on it to sense its abilities, he paused for a moment. This... might be useful?

The masked ghost's appearance resembles a bronze sacrificial mask in the style of Sanxingdui.

Humans who wear it will gradually be assimilated by the demon, first losing their emotions, then their memories, and finally becoming puppets of the mask.

At the same time, the wearer will also gain some of the abilities and characteristics of the demons.

However, Chu Jiang believes that these abilities are insignificant compared to the ultimate cost.

After holding his hand on this page for a long time, Chu Jiang suddenly smiled slightly. He had thought of an interesting way to use it.

Chu Jiang looked at Ghost Diary and said, "Buddy, it's time for you to do your part. You can't just show up and jump around every time I'm about to die."

After speaking, Chu Jiang did not put the diary away, but held it in his left hand and walked closer to the headless Ksitigarbha.

He decisively stretched out his right hand, touched the stone statue again, and entered the state of being surrounded by countless child spirits, only able to see the Yamata no Orochi in the distance.

As soon as Chu Jiang appeared, the children began chanting eerie scriptures, surging towards him like a horde of the dead...

Chapter 400 Pain Shared

This time, Chu Jiang didn't run away. He first handed something to the nun ghost that had been hiding in his watch and gave it an instruction.

Then he inserted his right hand into the page that sealed the masked demon, and instead of borrowing the demon's power through the diary, he forcibly pulled the demon's true form out of the diary!

The eerie bronze mask was naturally connected to a chain of hellish iron, but Chu Jiang didn't care. He forcibly put the mask on his face.

The moment it put it on, the masked demon, having found a host, quickly came to life from its dormant state.

Unlike sealed objects, it only takes the form of an object, like a ghost rental, and therefore possesses all the characteristics of a ghost.

As soon as the masked ghost revived, it immediately began to instinctively try to control Chu Jiang, even though it was still locked up by the Ghost Diary.

However, Chu Jiang is not so easily controlled, and the masked ghost's assimilation speed is not that fast; for the time being, it can only cause Chu Jiang to lose his emotions.

Having become a cold, rational being, the negative emotions welling up in Chu Jiang's heart could not affect his actions and thoughts for the time being.

Chu Jiang merged with the Ghost Realm, drifting among the countless surging child ghosts, and meandering towards the arrogant Yamata no Orochi.

Chu Jiang could actually try using black flames to deal with these ghosts. However, given that the giant snake was consuming them, Chu Jiang felt he couldn't act rashly; it would be troublesome if it triggered even worse consequences.

Throughout this process, Chu Jiang kept rolling the 666 die frantically, trying to even it out with sheer number of rolls, but that only had a mere 5% chance of success.

As Chu Jiang drew closer to the giant serpent, the chanting of scriptures from the children became increasingly distorted and jarring.

At the same time, the negative emotions arising from the scriptures were also pouring into Chu Jiang's body in large quantities, and even if Chu Jiang blocked his hearing, it would be of no use.

As negative emotions piled up, Chu Jiang's speed began to slow down, and even the bronze mask on his face began to reveal the faces of children.

That's not all; the human face gradually spread along the Nether Iron Chains toward the main body of the Ghost Diary.

Because Chu Jiang is currently being corrupted by the Masked Ghost, and the Masked Ghost is locked up by the Ghost Diary, the three of them are essentially one entity; the overflowing negative emotions have nowhere to go, so they will naturally follow this connection and be shared equally among the three.

After sensing the threat, Ghost Diary didn't tolerate Chu Jiang. In fact, its chains always had a force pulling the ghost back; it was just that the masked ghost didn't want to go back at the moment and forcibly attached itself to Chu Jiang.

However, as the Ghost Diary intensifies its recovery efforts, the masked ghost gradually shows signs of breaking free from Chu Jiang's body.

Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang simply reached out and grabbed the chains without expression, even using his power to interfere with reality to forcefully keep the mask on his face, maintaining the connection between the three.

Thus, without Chu Jiang cutting the chains, Ghost Diary, bound by its own rules and unable to harm its master, could only remain in a stalemate with Chu Jiang.

The stalemate resulted in human faces beginning to appear in the ghost diary...

With the help of the masked ghost and the ghost diary to share the negative emotions, Chu Jiang was inevitably still affected to some extent, but he was generally still able to move freely, and even forcibly pushed forward despite the damage 666 inflicted on him.

These attacks from the dice, besides inflicting various forms of physical damage on Chu Jiang, can even cause severe depression and lead to suicide on the spot; however, due to the existence of the Masked Ghost, such mental attacks are now completely ineffective against Chu Jiang.

However, as Chu Jiang frantically rolled the dice, more and more black goat marks accumulated on his body, including goat hooves, horns, tail, and body, and they did not fade away on their own in a short time. It was unknown whether this would cause any hidden dangers.

But Chu Jiang didn't have time to think about that now. He forcibly connected to the Ghost Diary and approached within twenty meters of the Yamata no Orochi for the first time.

Before Chu Jiang could launch an attack, the Yamata no Orochi stopped eating the child, and its eight heads suddenly turned around, their blood-red eyes fixed on their target!

As the other party made this move, countless negative emotions arose out of thin air in front of it, and reached their peak in an instant.

What's even more terrifying is that the negative emotions released by Yamata no Orochi did not originate solely from the spirits of these deceased children.

It includes men, women, children, old and young, from all countries, races, and skin colors... Countless faces, countless negative emotions, so intense they almost materialize. They come like a black wave that engulfs everything, sweeping across the sky!

Even though he had lost his emotions, Chu Jiang's body instinctively sent out danger signals upon seeing this scene, and the ghost within him also showed signs of agitation.

To escape? No, there's nowhere to escape.

At this moment, Chu Jiang chose to go against the tide! He transformed into a black sun, bracing against countless surging waves, and launched a death charge towards the Yamata no Orochi.

Moreover, at this crucial moment, Chu Jiang finally rolled a number that wasn't a 6; this time it was a blood-red 4.

The dice disappeared, and Chu Jiang once again entered that godlike state.

A black ram's head mark appeared on his forehead, and clouds surged from his feet. Combined with the black and gold flames around him, if outsiders saw this, they would probably really think that an evil god had descended to destroy the world.

Chu Jiang clashed head-on with the negative emotions; the power within him could only block a portion of the emotions from flowing in, not completely seal them off.

In this way, the more negative emotions are poured into Chu Jiang's body, the more will be diverted to the Ghost Diary.

Suddenly, the diary slipped from Chu Jiang's control and began flipping through its pages wildly in mid-air.

With each page turned in the diary, the sealed ghost on it was instantly filled with negative emotions; after it had turned over hundreds of pages, all the more than one hundred ghosts that Chu Jiang had sealed inside were forced to share the damage with the ghost diary.

Chu Jiang hadn't expected this. He felt that if he had any feelings at that moment, he would have praised the other person.

Fortunately, there was the Ghost Diary, and together with the more than one hundred ghosts in the diary, Chu Jiang shared the negative emotions and managed to cross the ocean of negative emotions.

He conjured a lightning spear in his right hand, which he used to strangle the eight snake heads that were biting at him.

He then pointed with his left hand, and a black and gold flame wheel immediately appeared on the body of the Yamata no Orochi.

The flame wheel released extreme heat waves, and the giant serpent was as if it had been thrown into the core of the real sun. Its long serpent body was vaporized within seconds, and its black skeleton began to be exposed.

Nevertheless, its eight tails instantly pierced towards Chujiang.

One of its tails was quite special; water was dripping from its tip, as if it had been touched by raindrops from the sky...

Chapter 401 The Demon Blade Cries

Chu Jiang had long anticipated this move from the Yamata no Orochi. He waved his hand and used his power to interfere with reality to sweep away the eight tails from a distance.

But that special tail actually withstood Chu's power and shot towards him without changing its trajectory!
