Wait! Chu Jiang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them!

He thought of a possibility he had never considered before: opening the box.

Can Zhang Haoran open this box? If supernatural forces are preventing Chu Jiang and his fellow ghost masters from opening it, then Zhang Haoran, who disregards all demons and monsters, might actually be able to do it...

This made Chu Jiang determined to go back and try to find his old classmate.

Chapter 419 Confession

The plane landed at 2:30 pm, and Chen Ke'er, the company's finance lady, came to pick me up.

Accompanying Chen Ke'er were Shao Siming Jing Ruoxue, Xu Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao's cousin Xu Shengtian.

Originally, Chen Xiaodong, the guy who calls himself "Ip Man," was also supposed to come and pick them up at the airport.

He even paid for an extravagant welcome banner that read, "First annihilate the US, then destroy Japan, raise our national prestige, Chujiang is invincible!"—a forum slang slogan.

However, a supernatural event occurred near Luohe City, and he was recruited by Duan Ming'en to work as a henchman, so he could only regretfully entrust the banner to Xu Shengtian, the captain of the security team.

They got along quite well during this period; young people have common interests.

However, Xu Shengtian still felt that the slogan on the banner was too childish, so he didn't bring it with him at all.

When Chu Jiang, accompanied by Kujou Aino and Uesugi Hinagiku, entered the arrival hall, not only were the people from the Luohe City branch paying attention, but also the paparazzi, Oni Shi, hidden in the shadows, immediately opened their phones and uploaded the results:

[Breaking news! Breaking news! Chu Jiang brought back two beautiful Japanese women, the betting pool is ready to settle the bill, brothers!]

Chu Jiang glanced around and noticed these suspicious-looking guys, but he didn't pay much attention to them. With his current reputation, he would probably attract attention wherever he went.

Today, Chen Ke'er wore a light white spaghetti strap long tulle dress, a beige sun hat, carried a small LV bag, and wore straight black high heels. She looked very youthful and beautiful.

With her delicate, fair features and captivating eyes, she was confident she could make her boss's eyes light up.

However, when she saw Chu Jiang appear with a mature, older woman and a cute, younger woman, her expression inevitably fell.

Chu Jiang noticed this scene and walked closer with the flow of people.

"Hello, boss!" Xu Shengtian led the way with a loud and clear voice, bowing.

Chen Ke'er and Xu Xiaoxiao also said, "Hello, boss."

Jing Ruoxue simply nodded, then looked curiously at the two people beside Chu Jiang.

"Okay," Chu Jiang replied, then quickly grabbed several bags from his left hand and, as if by magic, handed the bags containing gifts to Chen Ke'er.

"Here's the cosmetics, sake, and wagashi you wanted; I also bought some other gifts. Keep what you like, and throw away what you don't."

This surprised everyone present. In their memory, Chu Jiang was always indifferent to women. Would he actually buy a gift for a specific woman during this trip abroad?

Feeling a little hot under the gaze of others, Chen Ke'er quickly accepted the gift and said thank you.

However, as soon as she took it, Xu Shengtian immediately snatched it away, leaving Chen Ke'er completely bewildered.

"I'll take it, brother and sister-in-law, go first!" Xu Shengtian acted like a bodyguard.

Xu Xiaoxiao found it somewhat amusing. "Let's go, let's go, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Chu Jiang nodded, stepped forward and naturally took Chen Ke'er's arm, leading her outside.

Kujo Aino seemed to be deep in thought upon seeing this. It seemed that this man was not incapable of being attracted to women, but only to certain specific women.

Daisy was a little upset. Chu Jiang had never treated her like this before; he treated her more like a little sister.

Jing Ruoxue watched Chu Jiang's retreating figure, feeling a pang of melancholy for some reason. She had never harbored any unusual feelings for Chu Jiang before; her feelings were primarily driven by the desire to carry on the family tradition.

She shook her head, dismissing those inexplicable emotions, and followed closely behind.

On the way back, Xu Xiaoxiao and Daisy officially began their first offline exchange. The atmosphere was quite serious, mainly because it was the first time Xu Xiaoxiao had learned that her family actually had a famous ancestor.

Upon learning of this, Xu Shengtian was even more shocked, and then he immediately and excitedly told Chu Jiang:

"Brother, I understand! It turns out I also have the protagonist template from those novels. Quickly take me to see the Ancestor! I want to receive his dying power transmission and become the number one in the world!"

"You're kidding me!" Xu Xiaoxiao gave him a sharp rap on the head.

Chu Jiang said speechlessly, "Do you think this is a martial arts or fantasy world? Passing on skills?"

"However, if all three of you want to see Mr. Xu, I can take you to headquarters tomorrow. Whether you can see him or not will depend on your abilities."

......

After returning to the company, Chu Jiang first dealt with the official business he had accumulated during his trip abroad.

Actually, his subordinates do all of this for him, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

The main issue is that there have been more and more paranormal events lately, and they have occurred frequently all over the country; even the area under Chu Jiang's management, as well as the heads of other cities, have had to come to the Luohe branch to ask for help and borrow people.

This made Chu Jiang realize how quickly the situation was deteriorating, and that he had to obtain the Two Realms Bell as soon as possible to try to end it all.

There's also good news: the situation with River God Wang Lei has improved significantly. He has now reached an agreement with the research institute that, with supervision from designated personnel, Wang Lei will also begin to address some paranormal events.

Of course, this is only applicable to areas through which the Luohe River flows.

As for the group of ghosts who came out of the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall, they were also following the branch members on missions everywhere. This was the kind of work they had been doing in their previous lives, so it was not unfamiliar to them.

This kind of life wasn't bad for them; at least it was a pastime, and they could see different people and things. Compared to being trapped in an endless cycle in the ancestral hall, it was a million times better.

Moreover, as long as the Lin family members maintain their humanity, they are not too afraid of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts, and thus can go all out and always resolve missions quickly.

During Chu Jiang's absence from the country, news spread that a "surprise force" had emerged under his command. Many people speculated that this was the Ghost Master family behind Chu Jiang finally officially giving this young man some support.

Chu Jiang felt increasingly lost and desperately wanted to understand his origins...

That evening, Chu Jiang took Chen Ke'er back to Luoxi City and had dinner at his home.

His parents were naturally happy to see him come home, which was a rare occasion, and prepared a delicious meal.

Moreover, they could clearly see that Chu Jiang and his secretary had become much closer, so they began to subtly bring up the topic of marriage.

In response, Chen Ke'er's younger sister, Chu Le, gave her a lot of support, urging her brother not to let this good girl go.

Chen Ke'er is mostly quite reserved, but she can't help but giggle occasionally.

......

Late at night, Chu Jiang brought Chen Ke'er to the rooftop and confessed some things to her.

Chu Jiang still felt that he should make his feelings for her and Belfast clear in advance, so as not to hurt this good girl.

Chapter 420 It will hear, it will descend

After hearing this, Chen Ke'er didn't get angry; instead, she seemed relieved.

"I originally thought that you just treated me as a tool to adjust your mood, not even a backup option."

"After all, with your qualities, finding a woman ten thousand times better than me would be a piece of cake."

"To be honest, I'm a little jealous right now, but I'm also glad you said these things to me; including how you called me to comfort me immediately after your first kiss was stolen by a ghost."

"Then you said that this situation is related to the demon inside you; then I will work hard in the future, isn't it just pure desire? I can do it too."

As she spoke, Chen Ke'er puffed out her chest defiantly, "I used to be afraid you'd think I was a promiscuous woman, so my style was mostly innocent and office lady-like. But I can also wear black stockings, white stockings, and those lace panties..."

Chu Jiang chuckled and covered her mouth, "Alright, alright, I know how determined you are."

Chen Ke'er pouted slightly and bit Chu Jiang's finger. "Also, I want to meet that mixed-race beauty named Belfast. I want to see just how beautiful the person who can make your heart flutter is."

"Maybe next time, there will be another opportunity."

Chen Ke'er nodded, "You should go and focus on saving the world first. If things really do settle down as you say, then we can talk about these things again."

"Besides, that Miss Bei is only playing hard to get right now. It's not that easy for you to win her over. You'll have to get her first."

And so, their conversation on this topic came to a temporary end.

However, as compensation, Chen Ke'er took the initiative to ask Chu Jiang for a kiss.

How to describe the feeling afterwards... Not bad, Chu Jiang felt that it tasted different from Sister Bei's lips.

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

The following day, Chu Jiang led three descendants of the Xu family to the headquarters of the research institute.

However, while on the plane, Chu Jiang received another message from Sister Bei.

This time she didn't speak, but simply shook the flyer, and two lines of text appeared on it:

[Do you already possess the Bell of Two Realms? If you are willing to answer us honestly, we can return that page of the diary to you.]

If you're willing to give us the bell, we can give you two pages of a diary.

Chu Jiang automatically ignored the second sentence; there was no way he would hand over the Two Realms Bell.

As for the first sentence, can you magically obtain a torn page of a diary simply by answering yes or no?

Hey, is the Church of the Holy Word really that kind? Or rather, is that ghost really that kind?

Wait a minute, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something. The Ghost Mirror had shown that Belfast had clearly sacrificed that page of the diary to the Dreamy Musings.

So, when she says she can return it, does that mean she got it back from the delirium?

Whether it was the whispers that deliberately instructed Bayonetta to do this, it's highly likely that they tampered with this diary in some way...

For example, he could hide his thoughts in a diary and then hand it over to Chu Jiang, which would definitely catch him off guard.

Chu Jiang frowned as he thought about it. The Holy Word Sect was not to be trusted.

In the end, Chu Jiang decided to ignore the other party. Anyway, he would get the torn pages of the diary back eventually, so it wouldn't make a difference if he didn't pay attention to them for a while.

As for the Ghost Mirror, did it still manage to trick itself this time?

Even Chu Jiang doesn't know what's going on with this broken mirror anymore. If you say it's cooperating, it simply refuses to act according to Chu Jiang's will; if you say it's not cooperating, the images it displays each time are somewhat useful.

Could this person just be someone who's genuinely having fun...?

No, no, no, the Ghost Mirror has killed many people in the past, it's impossible for it to be so easy to get along with. Chu Jiang felt that it was probably still related to the ghost inside him.

While he was pondering, Sister Bei probably noticed that Chu Jiang hadn't responded for a long time, so she sent another message.

Don't touch that bell carelessly; it will hear you, it will descend, and you know who it is.
