I have a ghost diary

"This will produce a wonderful result: the music box will continue to play requiems here, and Ghost Abyss will continue to be hypnotized, forever remaining in this state."

"Of course, no living people can get close during this time, otherwise the music box ghost might start killing people and break this balance."

The method proposed by Sister Bei is somewhat similar to the method Chu Jiang had seen before, which involves exploiting the patterns between two ghosts to exploit bugs.

After listening, he simply used his Ghost Domain to create a new mouth in the dark space on his left hand to respond: "You guys have a good plan. If I leave the Music Box Ghost here, I won't be able to use it to deal with the delirium anymore, right?"

Chu Jiang had witnessed Yi Yu's behavior in front of this ghost before. Although Yi Yu's true form did not descend at that time, it did indeed fall silent amidst the music of the music box and never sound again.

"This is just what you think. Have you ever considered that this is just our Lord deliberately leading you to guess in this direction?"

“Otherwise, would I have so easily given up this demon, handing over a blade that could threaten my lord to you so casually?” Belfast said with a smile.

Chu Jiang paused for a moment. In fact, even without Sister Bei mentioning it, he himself had doubts: was the babbling really being suppressed so severely? After all, this was a ghost with self-awareness.

However, despite the doubts, we should not easily give up any means that are beneficial to ourselves.

Chu Jiang did not respond to Belfast for the time being. Instead, he explained the consequences of stopping to Soga Sayaka and said, "I'll think of something else. Give me some time."

Early Snow nodded with a hint of worry.

After some thought, Chu Jiang considered another approach: try to separate Ghost Abyss from this endless ocean of negative emotions.

This way, there's a chance to put Ghost Abyss into a deep sleep. Even if we have to come back and hypnotize it again every now and then, it's better than keeping the Music Box Ghost suppressed here indefinitely.

However, this separation process is incredibly difficult. Leaving aside the possibility of being contaminated by negative emotions during the process, even if you successfully separate them, where do you put those negative emotions?

If things aren't handled properly, it could lead to another huge disaster...

Chapter 407 Bastard's Demand

As Chu Jiang pondered, he discovered that as the Requiem continued to hypnotize him, Gui Yuan's slumber deepened slightly.

To put it simply, if you stop working on it, it will return to its original state within half an hour.

If we stop now, it will take about 35 minutes.

Don't underestimate this small change. It means that if Chu Jiang stays under this hypnosis for a month, it will probably take Gui Yuan a whole day to fully recover.

Of course, Chu Jiang couldn't continue hypnosis for a whole month.

Based on his previous experiment with the Ju-on ghost, if he continued to borrow its power until the third day, the music box would successfully escape from the ghost diary and directly invade his body.

However, this gave Chu Jiang a new idea:

He could simply follow the plan given by the dreamer and throw the music box ghost into this place to temporarily "semi-seal" the Ghost Abyss; then, when he needed to deal with the dreamer later, he could just come and take the music box out.

Anyway, as the hypnosis time continues to lengthen, Guiyuan won't be able to revive so easily. Once Chujiang finishes off the delirium, he can come back and throw the music box ghost back in, and then the "semi-seal" here can be maintained.

Furthermore, once Chu Jiang fully awakens the power of Chu Zombie, it's not impossible that he could completely eliminate Gui Yuan...

Chu Jiang thought it was feasible more and more, but there was one small problem that he needed to "discuss privately" with Ghost Diary.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang temporarily stopped borrowing the power of the music box ghost, and the requiem no longer came from his mouth.

Soga Sayuki felt somewhat relieved upon seeing this, but she also began to worry about how to deal with Oni Abyss.

Chu Jiang exhaled a cold breath. He first reached out and smashed the icicles that had formed on his body, then beckoned Su Wo Zaoxue over. He took out a flyer from his left hand and handed it to her, saying, "Hold this for me. If it speaks, don't believe anything. Just pretend you didn't hear it."

Soga Hayate looked at the strange flyer and nodded slightly.

Then, Chu Jiang left this place temporarily and walked uphill for a while; after confirming that Sister Bei could not eavesdrop through the flyers, he patted his diary.

"Tell me honestly, is the babbling really severely suppressed by the music box ghost?"

“You once sealed away the babbling, so you should know something about it, right? And my dealing with this ghost will also be beneficial to you, because I might be able to reseal it back into this diary.”

The diary, of course, did not respond to Chu Jiang, as if mocking him for being a fool, actually talking to a book.

Chu Jiang, unwilling to give up, flipped through the ghost diary page by page, but found no response, leaving him utterly speechless.

In the end, Chu Jiang shook his head. "On the one hand, it's restraint; on the other hand, it's a lack of restraint. I hope you know what's good for you, or don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, Chu Jiang grabbed the diary and threw it into the air, as if tossing the Holy Grail, hoping to find out the result through this "mystical" method.

The Ghost Diary flipped four or five times in the air and landed safely on the ground, but Chu Jiang looked on with a black line on his face.

Because this tattered diary actually landed precisely on its spine—it was vertical! And it remained stable even on the sloping terrain of Ghost Abyss.

Chu Jiang picked up the tattered diary, about to beat it up, but then paused. What if the ghost diary wasn't mocking him?

It's just using this method to illustrate that the music box ghost can have some influence on the babbling, but it's far from being able to severely suppress it.

Based on Chu Jiang's experience, only the Chu ghost inherited within him could be considered basically unaffected; other ghosts would inevitably be affected by the music box ghost, at most to varying degrees.

As for the Ghost Diary, it needs to use the power of sealing to counteract the power of hypnosis in order to protect itself from being affected.

This solidified Chu Jiang's belief that the ramblings were indeed a mix of truth and falsehood, and were very adept at bewitching people.

Having figured this out, Chu Jiang returned to Soga Sayaka's side.

According to Hayashi, the flyer didn't say anything, but she was somewhat interested in the text on it.

Chu Jiang glanced at it and realized that the Chinese on the flyer had been changed to Japanese, which made him shake his head repeatedly. It seemed that he was always thinking about missionary work.

"These are harmful; just forget about them."

Then Chu Jiang put the flyer back into his left hand and negotiated privately with Sister Bei: "I've thought about it, and it's not impossible to do it your way, but I'll have to make a big sacrifice. You have to give me back that torn page of the diary."

Sister Bei said with a surprised tone, "Didn't you originally plan to take it back later? Don't tell me you didn't have that in mind when you handed it over to me."

Chu Jiang replied calmly, "Then I'll change my request. Next time we meet, I want you to wear a maid outfit for me, and also be my maid for a day, giving me some perks or something..."

Belfast paused for a moment, then said through gritted teeth, "What kind of bastard request is this?!"

This was the first time in her life that someone had dared to speak to her so rudely!

Chu Jiang chuckled softly, "Just kidding. Do I look like that kind of chuunibyou otaku? Anyway, let's talk about it next time we meet."

At this point, Chu Jiang temporarily paused the conversation. Just as Sister Bei said, he would retrieve the torn pages of the diary later; there was no use for them now.

Next, Chu Jiang forcibly pulled the music box ghost out of the ghost diary and used the demon sword Tianqi to cut off the Nether Iron chains attached to it.

It must be said that this knife is indeed terrifyingly sharp; it breaks with a single cut.

Of course, after being cut off, the Ghost Diary began to ooze black blood again, revealing its ferocity and preparing to attack its master, Chu Jiang.

However, Chu Jiang had anticipated this. He quickly took out a sealed "Poor Ghost" and stuffed it into the page that originally sealed the Music Box Ghost.

Ever since being attacked by Ghost Diary in the castle, Chu Jiang has been thinking about a question: once a ghost is sealed inside, can it never be taken out again?

Or is it that the rules of Ghost Diary only prohibit blank pages that already contain sealed ghosts? If so, is it possible to exchange one ghost for another?

What Chu Jiang needs to do now is this experiment.

Furthermore, since the dreamer proposed this solution, it means that it must be aware that the ghosts in the Ghost Diary can be removed, and removed without any hidden dangers.

As Chu Jiang had guessed, although the newly added poor ghost was obviously not as high-ranking as the music box ghost, the Ghost Diary's attacks on him stopped.

In the end, Ghost Diary could only slowly and seemingly reluctantly retract the black blood, and on the original page, the poor ghost's ghost drawing condensed.

Chapter 408 The Little Man Under the Abyss

Seeing Chu Jiang take out the music box ghost, Soga Sayuk was a little puzzled. Then she was even more surprised to see him throw the ghost, which was not fully revived, onto Jizo's head!

When Chu Jiang threw it, he used a power that interfered with reality, trying to make the music box land smoothly on his head with as little lightness and precision as possible. Otherwise, if he threw it directly into the ocean of negative emotions, he was afraid that the ghost would be contaminated by those emotions, causing the music to malfunction or even stop playing.

After observing for a while and seeing that the head of Jizo and the ocean of negative emotions were generally calm, Chu Jiang immediately transformed into a black-gold beam of light and took Soga Hayashi away.

If the music box ghost fully revives and turns its attention to them as murder targets, then things will get complicated.

......

About five minutes later, the music box came back to life. Its pale palms opened, and the lonely princess inside continued her endless singing.

At first, the bottom of Ghost Abyss was still calm, but after about half an hour, some special changes occurred; a small black figure emerged from between the eyebrows of Ksitigarbha's head.

It first slithered on the ground like a snake, and then slowly and clumsily stood up.

The little figure looked at the music box, its eyelids drooping, but it still moved closer; its eyes were blood red, like red lantern fruit or tartary sauce.

Once they got close enough, the little black man sat in front of the music box, one hand wrapped around his knee and the other supporting his chin, nodding his head as he listened to the white princess sing. Although he was tired, he forced himself to stay awake.

If nothing else had happened, this whole thing might have seemed quite heartwarming, like a fairy tale, with a solitary performer and its solitary audience.

But... the little man wasn't just listening; its mouth was also opening and closing, and what came out wasn't singing, but rather eerie and filthy chanting of scriptures:

If one falls into this hell, from the moment of entry until hundreds of thousands of kalpas later, in a single day and night, one will die and be reborn ten thousand times, unable to find even a moment's respite. Only when one's karma is exhausted can one be reborn. Because of this continuous cycle, it is called Avici Hell...

As the black figure chanted scriptures, strands of black threads rose from the ocean of negative emotions, gradually wrapping around the music box ghost.

----------------------

Above Ghost Abyss, Chu Jiang and Suwo Zaoxue had been closely monitoring the changes in this place since they came out.

Upon seeing the two figures, Seireitei immediately contacted Hayayuki, and it was the old man himself who spoke to his granddaughter.

Soga Hayayuki gave a brief description of their encounter and explained that thanks to Chu Jiang's adventures and sacrifices, Ghost Abyss had been temporarily sealed; however, the specifics were somewhat complicated and would be discussed in detail later.

She also reported that Tanaka and Kujo Kazuki were likely dead.

However, Soga no Yami said, "No, according to reliable sources, Kujo-kun has returned to their family shrine. Moreover, the shrine seems to be making some preparations, and has begun to disperse irrelevant personnel."

Soga Hayashi was taken aback, feeling both surprised and yet reasonable; that guy really wasn't going to die so easily.

After hanging up the phone, Zaoxue told Chujiang about the situation.

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "Continue to observe Ghost Abyss. I will go down again in 24 hours. If there are no problems, let's go to the Kujo family's shrine. After all, they have extended a very warm invitation to me."

Suwa Zao Xue nodded, "I'll go with you then."

What followed was a long period of waiting and observation. Ghost Abyss seemed to have truly found peace; not only did it stop expanding, but the roars and wails emanating from within also disappeared.

Such drastic changes in the Demon Abyss naturally couldn't be kept secret from the outside world. In fact, during the previous earthquake and violent contraction, many Japanese demon masters had already guessed that the Seireitei had begun its operation.

They quickly discovered through various means such as telescopes and drones that although Ghost Abyss had not disappeared, its area had shrunk dramatically!

The issue immediately sparked a heated discussion on the 9ch forum, with many wondering if Chu Jiang had really intervened, and what role Kujo Kazuki played in this incident.
