I have a ghost diary

As Kujo Yoshii's smile froze, Chu Jiang calmly took out a bronze dressing mirror from his left hand. "You mean this? Sorry, I already have it. Maybe we should just forget about it."

This time, Yoshii's expression wasn't just frozen, but shocked.

Are you kidding me? They just randomly picked a long-lost treasure from their family's ancient book, the "Nine Provinces Chapter," as an excuse, and this Chu Jiang just happens to have it?!

Kujo Kazuki was also surprised, but at the same time, his desire to win over Chu Jiang burned even brighter.

Chu Jiang originally took out the Ghost Mirror just to slap this guy who was spouting nonsense in the face; but what made him frown was that the Ghost Mirror took the initiative to show him the image.

This time, the scene still shows the situation on the side of the Holy Word Church; to be precise, Belfast's figure reappeared in the mirror.

At this moment, she is in a quiet Japanese-style room, praying devoutly to a cross.

Chu Jiang couldn't hear her words, but he could see that as she spoke, she carefully handed a slightly yellowed page of her diary to the cross.

The diary vanished the moment it touched the cross, while Belfast murmured with increasing devotion...

The video was very short, disappearing in less than a few seconds.

After confirming that the ghost mirror was no longer moving, Chu Jiang put it away.

Although the images it showed last time seemed real, it's still impossible to tell the difference between real and fake this time.

Even if it were true, Chu Jiang wasn't surprised at all.

It's perfectly normal for Bayonetta to offer the fragments of her diary to the babbling tale, isn't it? He was even surprised that the other party was only giving them now. As a typical fanatic, shouldn't one at least complete the sacrifice on the day they receive them?

Although he couldn't figure out the ghost mirror's purpose, now was not the time to ponder it. Chu Jiang planned to knock on the broken mirror again when he got back.

"Captain Chu, well, maybe one of our items is a fake? How about we go to the back of the shrine to compare them?" Kujo Yoshii was still trying to trick him into going in with a lame excuse.

Chu Jiang simply shook his head. He laid his cards on the table and said, "You just want to attack me, don't you? Even now, you're still not willing to tear off the mask of civility? Are you afraid I'll turn around and run away?"

"Actually, there's no need for that. There's a question I don't know if you've thought about?"

"If you're not confident you can defeat Guiyuan, why do you think you're capable of defeating me?"

Kujo Yoshii's expression changed. Seeing this, he stopped pretending to be a nice guy and responded with a mocking tone, "Heh, is this even a problem? Oni masters are easier to deal with than oni, that's a well-known fact."

"Otherwise, how could various countries have developed groups that specialize in hunting down ghost masters? I remember that on Captain Chu's resume, you personally destroyed such an organization, right?"

Chu Jiang nodded upon hearing this, "Alright, I agree. Ghost Masters are much easier to deal with than ghosts."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone present, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Chapter 411 Sealing Chu Zhan?

"Make your move!" Kujo Yoshii stopped wasting words. Although theoretically it would be better to lure Chu Jiang in, within this range, he could also be enveloped by the [Lifeless Barrier].

The moment the head of the household spoke, a series of ethereal wooden fish sounds, "tap tap tap~", suddenly rang out from the shrine behind the two leaders.

As the sound rang out, a spherical barrier appeared within a hundred-meter radius of the Kujo Shrine. Everything within the barrier lost its color, leaving only black and white.

Chu Jiang tried to activate the Black Sun's Ghost Domain, but as expected, he couldn't use it; it seemed to be rejected by some mysterious supernatural force.

After the barrier was formed, Chu Jiang thought he would be attacked fiercely.

He was fully prepared, even eager to try out "that power," since he had never officially used it since he mastered it, as all his opponents were demons.

What Chu Jiang found strange was that everyone in the Kujo family was still watching him intently, and not a single one of them took the initiative to make a move.

Soga Hayate was also surprised, but she didn't have the habit of waiting for others to attack before retaliating. She reached out and pulled a long knife from between her breasts!

This knife seemed to be formed from the darkness of night, deep and dark, without a trace of light, exuding an ominous aura.

Hayabusa gripped the sword with both hands, raising it horizontally to her mouth and nose, seemingly intending to kill directly.

Chu Jiang hadn't expected this delicate young lady to be so decisive when she took action; he first pressed down on her shoulders, "Calm down, and didn't I say I'd do it? You can just watch the show."

Soga Hayate hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to put down the demon sword [Night] in her hand for the time being.

"What are you doing? Waiting for me to make the first move?"

None of the Kujo family members responded; they simply stared at him without moving.

So Chu Jiang didn't hold back. A solar flame wheel appeared around him, and with a wave of his left hand, countless black flames transformed into hundreds of streams of fire, which surged toward everyone in the shrine.

Kujo Kazuki calmly opened his left hand, and a bloody mouth appeared in his palm. Streams of black flame shot into the shrine, but they turned uncontrollably and were swallowed by his mouth.

Then the other side still didn't retaliate.

"It seems that's not it," Chu Jiang muttered to himself.

This time, he switched the powers of Dark Left Hand and Blood Hand Ghost, causing countless black hands to emerge from the body of the Kujo family demon master, and each hand was covered in blood.

These hands, if they were to touch these living people even once, would kill them instantly.

But just as the sinister hand appeared, an angel suddenly appeared in the shrine!

Chu Jiang was astonished. This angel was dressed in white, had a halo, and six wings on its back. It had a typical Western male face and radiated pure light.

The angel emerged from behind a female demon shaman from the Kujo family. This demon shaman clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured, "I beg you, angel!"

In this angelic radiance, Chu Jiang could clearly sense that the black hand he had created was completely melted away by the radiance, as if the dark and evil power had been purified by the holy power of light.

But Chu Jiang just thought it was utterly ridiculous. What kind of international joke was this? Where did these angels come from in this world? Even the "gods" who truly displayed power were actually just ghosts in their true forms.

Soga Sayaka, standing nearby, was also quite astonished. "Do such demons really exist? They can unconditionally transform into the image their master imagines."

She then quickly explained the situation to Chu Jiang.

Hayayuki had long heard that the Kujo family had a special demon maker who could "make her wish come true" to a certain extent, that is, make the demon appear in the form she wanted to appear.

Moreover, once it transforms into the corresponding form, the ghost will possess the abilities that form should have.

Chu Jiang shook his head. "There is definitely a limit to this. No matter how outrageous a ghost's abilities are, there is always a process of [supernatural confrontation] when facing the power of other ghosts."

"The angel is currently in control, which means it's on a higher level than my left-hand and right-hand demons..."

Similarly, after the Kujo family revealed the angel, they still did not attack.

Everyone was watching Chu Jiang intently, seemingly prepared to counter his every move, as no matter how he attacked, his opponent always had a way to temporarily hold him off.

So, the only ghost that Chu Jiang hasn't used yet, belonging to his true form, is Chu Zang. Is this what they've been waiting for?

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang shook his head. He then reached his right hand into the space in his left hand, as if he was about to get serious.

Soon, the extremely tense members of the Kujo family noticed that the sky over this area was rapidly darkening; the dark clouds hung low, as if a storm was about to break, making the already black and white barrier even more gloomy.

At the same time, Chu Jiang's body rapidly turned into a zombie. He exhaled a thick, dark black gas, and an invisible domain spread outward from his feet, quickly turning everything around him gray and lifeless.

This is a realm representing death. It is not a ghost realm, but it can directly affect the real world, allowing the power of death to change the surrounding environment.

This area expanded so much that it eventually broke through the barrier's boundaries and even enveloped the entire mountain peak, causing countless trees to wither and die rapidly.

Sensing the chilling aura of death, Kujo Yoshii looked nervously at Kujo Kazuki, his eyes seeming to ask: Is this it?

Ikki nodded solemnly, "There's no mistake. This appearance, and this supernatural power belonging to the zombie realm, is terrifyingly strong. I feel like I'm facing a living, breathing S-class vengeful ghost."

In fact, before Kujo Kazuki could even speak, the moment he nodded, Kujo Yoshii had already waved his hand, giving the pre-announced signal to attack; his hand moved extremely fast, as if afraid that Chu Jiang would react and quickly withdraw his power.

As the patriarch gave the order, an inconspicuous ghost master hidden among the crowd immediately thrust an ancient vajra dagger into the deathly realm of the ground.

The Vajrakilaya is a ritual implement in Tibetan Buddhism. It looks like a pointed cone-shaped dagger, but the handle of this Vajrakilaya is sculpted into the form of a wrathful deity with three eyes and eight arms, each hand forming a mudra. It looks majestic yet terrifying.

The Vajra Peg disappeared as soon as it pierced the ground, but Chu Jiang looked incredulous!

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the death domain collapsed instantly, and the terrifying aura emanating from Chu Jiang vanished in an instant, as if his most powerful strength had been sealed away in a flash.

Upon seeing this, Kujo Yoshii couldn't help but show a look of ecstatic joy, and the other members of the Kujo family also breathed a sigh of relief, as everything was arranged exactly as planned.

Soga Hayashi frowned, gripping the knife in her hand even tighter.

As his aura dissipated, Chu Jiang's previously zombie-like body quickly returned to normal.

However, he didn't seem panicked; instead, he fell into deep thought. "What terrifying power. An S-rank vengeful ghost is pinned down and unable to move. Is this your source of confidence...?"

Chapter 412 No Birth, No Death

Chu Jiang's calm and composed demeanor gave Kujo Yoshii a sense of foreboding, and he couldn't help but shout, "Surrender! Only we know how to retrieve the Vajra Knife!"

"If you are willing to cooperate, we will not kill you. After all, we don't want to start a direct war with Research Institute No. 21."

Chu Jiang ignored the other party and simply re-entered the state of Chu Zombie.

As for what was just sealed?

Sorry, that's not Chu Zombie, but a zombie underling who was still in a dormant state and was used by Chu Jiang as a scapegoat.

The ascetic monk called this ghost "Undying Bone," while Chu Jiang named it "Mr. General." This thing hasn't woken up since it ate one of Chu Jiang's fingers last time.

Just now, Chu Jiang realized that the other party was actively waiting for him to use the zombie power, so he deliberately reached his right hand into the dark space, grabbed the sleeping Mr. Jiang, and used his absolute superiority to forcibly guide out its power, pretending that he was the one using it.

The previous characteristics of altering the weather and unleashing a death domain were all manifestations of this zombie's power. Chu Zhi's power is very restrained, or rather, it has not yet fully awakened and is still in a dormant state.

Although the Vajra Dagger, which appeared to be a level-zero sealing artifact, was terrifying and seemed to be specifically designed to counter zombies and other demons, it struck the power of the General and sealed away this unfortunate little brother.

What surprised Chu Jiang even more was that the Vajra Pestle disappeared after it hit him, and he couldn't find it even if he wanted to help his younger brother pull it out.

This is probably why Kujo Yoshii said that only they could reclaim it.

Of course, regardless of whether this sealed artifact is the one that Soga Sayaka mentioned, which the Kujo family has hardly ever used in the past because of its obscure purpose, it still needs to hit the target first, no matter how powerful it is.

Even if Chu Jiang didn't see through the scheme at first, it wouldn't be so easy for them to trap him.

Seeing Chu Jiang "transform" again, the Kujo family members all looked on incredulously. Why was this happening? Had the Vajra Knot failed?

Kujo Yoshii's first thought was: This is impossible!

Although the Kujo family's treasure has strong side effects and a very narrow range of applications, it has always been invincible when dealing with demons that it counters.

Just as he was incredulous, Chu Jiang raised his hand and pointed at him expressionlessly.

Kujo Yoshii was startled! Kujo Kazuki, who was standing next to him, immediately waved his hand, and a demon crow flew out from his body to block the head of the family.

At the same time, the angel who had appeared in the courtyard earlier instantly moved in front of Kujo Yoshii and spread its wings to protect him.

But all of this was in vain. Kujo Yoshii's face turned pale instantly, his breathing stopped, and his body stiffened and fell straight down, as if he had died in an instant.
