I have a ghost diary

There was an open box containing various sealing items, mostly tools specifically used to seal away vengeful spirits...

Just as Chu Jiang, with a complicated expression, was about to continue watching, the screen suddenly disappeared, and even the Ghost Mirror was spat out by the Ghost Diary and thrown onto the bed.

Chu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and he instinctively punched the Ghost Diary!

This punch was clearly delivered with ruthlessness, even using Chu Zhan's full strength.

"Bang!" The bed shattered instantly, and even the floor was smashed through. If Chu Jiang hadn't subconsciously activated his Ghost Domain at the last moment, the entire building would probably have been destroyed by Chu Jiang's punch.

Looking at Gui Riji, who had been punched but bounced to the side unharmed, Chu Jiang took a deep breath.

"Are you kidding me?! What happened next?"

The Ghost Diary obviously wouldn't respond to Chu Jiang, nor would the Ghost Mirror, which had been flung to the other side; it wasn't acting voluntarily at all, but was forced by the Ghost Diary to display the relevant images.

After a moment of silence, Chu Jiang picked up the Ghost Diary and the Ghost Mirror.

Clearly, Ghost Diary fulfilled its promise. After sealing two hundred ghosts inside, it made Chu Jiang understand why Chu Zang shouldn't exist.

As for the scenes that follow, that involves finding the exact location of the family cemetery, which requires sealing another hundred ghosts inside.

Chapter 426 Human or Ghost?

After putting away the two sealed items, Chu Jiang leaned against the wall with an indifferent expression.

He was once dissatisfied that his biological parents abandoned him after giving birth to him and never even contacted him.

He has been searching for the truth, wanting to know why.

Now Chu Jiang knows, and he never dreamed that he might not be human, but a ghost...

By reviewing the history from the beginning, it becomes clear why the Chu lineage declined from its peak, and why, more than a hundred years ago, it chose to completely withdraw from the world and even stop accepting the worship of the people of Chu.

Historically, this lineage did indeed have a period of great power, and was even revered by the people of Chu as the Great Master of Fate, becoming the representative in charge of life and death in the mortal world.

However, it is not without cost for mortals to wield such power. During the process of passing on this S-class vengeful spirit, some problems gradually arose.

Starting about two or three hundred years ago, newborns of the Chu family began to show symptoms of partial Chu zombification of their bodies from birth.

This is a very abnormal situation. Theoretically, the ghost Chu Zhan is hidden in the bloodline of the Chu family; even if it is passed down to the next generation, the next generation still needs to dig out this power from the bloodline again.

How can a ghost display some power at birth? This only proves that the ghost has become uncontrollable.

Even more terrifying was that when the power of Chu Zi manifested, the baby's consciousness seemed to be temporarily possessed by this ghost, Chu Zi, and it lost the vitality of a living person.

Only after suppressing the power of the Chu zombies can the consciousness of the living regain control of their bodies.

This is also why the Chu family ancestor in the first scene couldn't be happy after the matter was resolved.

He didn't seem to have found the root cause, nor did he have a way to completely solve the problem.

The father in the second scene should be the baby in the first scene. He obviously got married and had children very late, so much so that his parents are already old and gray.

However, late marriage and late childbirth did not solve the problem. His wife's child still showed some of the symptoms of Chu zombification, and even more severely than the previous generation.

By the third scene, the time interval is quite far, perhaps four or five generations have passed since the beginning.

Not only has the background changed to the Republican era, but even the baby has been partially disfigured, making it far more serious than the second scene.

By this time, the Chu family had made preparations for the baby to completely spiral out of control; they had even prepared sealing tools and seemed to have invited outside help to prevent the Chu family from being unable to control the Chu zombie once it was fully revived.

However, this time, the baby's condition was suppressed.

But no one was happy; they were even numb, because the descendants of the Chu family were being gradually eroded by an S-class vengeful ghost.

They fear that if the lineage continues for several generations, a complete ghost might be born instead of a person with a ghost lurking in their blood.

At that time, not only will the Chu family be likely to be destroyed, but the fully recovered and freed Chu Zombie will also endanger the entire world.

Since that's the case, it would be better to completely eradicate this lineage to prevent it from causing harm to the world.

This is why the Chu family completely severed ties with the lineage of Shao Siming and retreated from the world ever since.

By the fourth scene... I guess the man and woman are Chu Jiang's biological parents.

The Chu lineage seemed to have dwindled to its last remaining couple by their generation.

Looking back now, it makes sense; fewer and fewer people appeared in the scene. Although there weren't many people in the first scene, a lot of people showed up after the incident.

Chu Jiang's father didn't look like a ghost master; instead, he was a proper scholar. His mother was the same; she looked like a quiet, ordinary woman.

When the couple conceived Chu Jiang, the global resurgence of the supernatural had not yet begun, so they probably rarely saw or came into contact with anything related to ghosts; they learned about such things in advance through records left by their ancestors and oral instructions from their fathers.

Nevertheless, Chu Jiang's father broke down when his wife actually gave birth to a ghost. He probably didn't understand why his son had to bear such a tragic fate from birth.

In short, Chu Jiang's father did not want the child at all at first. Driven by emotional breakdown and fear, he even wanted to kill the baby by throwing it.

Of course, he knew he couldn't succeed, otherwise he would have hesitated.

Chu Jiang's mother experienced unimaginable pain upon seeing that she had given birth to a ghost baby, yet her maternal instincts remained.

However, given the danger posed by ghosts, Chu Jiang's father could not allow her to touch them.

Ultimately, this father, following the example of his ancestors, still failed to turn the ghost baby into a human. He then seemed to have the idea of ​​completely sealing Chu Jiang away before he could awaken and before he could begin to wreak havoc on the world.

The footage then cuts off, leaving much information about Chu Jiang missing.

He could only guess that his father was neither able to kill him nor seal him away, and probably had even taken him to the family cemetery.

In short, after all their methods failed, they must have been quite desperate.

But something happened during that time, and Chu Jiang actually reverted from a ghost body back to a human body.

This is certain, because when Chu Jiang was adopted by his adoptive parents, he was a completely normal baby. Otherwise, how could they have picked up a ghost child and brought him home?

In short, even if Chu Jiang becomes "normal," his biological parents wouldn't dare keep him alive any longer, and probably wouldn't dare take this opportunity to kill him. What if he transforms from a human body back into a ghost body?

Of course, being one's own child after all, reluctance probably played a part as well.

So in the end, they chose to leave the baby at the hospital entrance, still in swaddling clothes, with a ancestral heirloom from the Chu clan.

The best outcome is that the child grows up like a normal person and has their own life; the worst outcome is that the child grows up to resemble a monster, eventually wreaking havoc on humanity and becoming a near-unsolvable S-class disaster...

After sorting through everything, Chu Jiang was confused. Was he really a ghost? Was he really Chu Zhi himself?

In fact, this answer can resolve many of his previous doubts.

For example, Jing Ruoxue speculated that Chu Zhi might have been unexpectedly revived, which was why the Chu family said those things; but Chu Jiang clearly didn't feel anything wrong with Chu Zhi inside him.

It would be a miracle if he could sense that, because he is Chu Zhi himself, and his will is Chu Zhi's will.

For example, Belfast once relayed the words of a babbler who said that Chu Jiang was unkillable.

This is, of course, because ghosts possess the characteristic that they cannot be killed.

For example, why was the ghost bride so interested in Chu Jiang? You could even say it was "love at first sight" for her; she was completely smitten with Chu Jiang.

In its eyes, Chu Qi is probably a strong and handsome ghost, much better than that disgusting-looking "Ghost Wedding".

This also explains why the Ghost Mirror didn't kill Chu Jiang. Didn't it kill many of its former owners before?

This is because the Ghost Mirror can see Chu Jiang's past. In its view, Chu Jiang is a ghost, not a human. It only kills people, not ghosts.

In short, if Chu Jiang = Chu Zhan, then all the strange and inexplicable things from the past suddenly seem reasonable.

But shouldn't ghosts be human-like? This is Chu Jiang's biggest question right now.

Even though Chu Zombie himself developed his own consciousness due to absorbing too much humanity during the long process of inheritance, Ghost Diary is also a ghost with its own consciousness. It doesn't seem to have reached the same level as me; at most, it's just a little smarter.

Even its babbling is like that of a supreme evil god; so far, it has only had indirect contact with Chu Jiang. It seems to possess advanced intelligence, but it doesn't seem to have much human emotion.

Yes, Chu Jiang was absolutely certain that he had feelings! Before awakening the power of Chu Zombie, he was no different from a normal person.

It was only after he died once and became a demon master that his emotions were suppressed.

Even in this suppressed state, Chu Jiang's emotions still exist; otherwise, he wouldn't have angrily punched Ghost Diary just now.

Chapter 427 Younger Sister

After much deliberation, Chu Jiang still did not believe that he was a ghost, or rather, that he was not simply a ghost.

This is not self-deception. Chu Jiang is very calm. His emotions, his memories, and his life over the past twenty years are not fake.

He's more inclined to believe that he might be a ghost, but also a human...

The reason this happened is that Chu Zombie devoured a lot of the humanity of Chu family ancestors. That humanity not only suppressed the ghostly nature, but also caused the ghost to undergo a subtle change.

The Chu monster eroded the descendants of the Chu family generation after generation, resulting in the birth of a hybrid being that was both human and ghost. It was difficult to say that it was simply a ghost, and it was also difficult to say that it was simply a human.

Moreover, that ghost baby back then probably transformed from a ghost body back into a human body on its own... otherwise, Chu Jiang couldn't figure out what method his parents used to succeed.

In addition, Chu Jiang is indeed unkillable now, but it cannot be said that he is completely unkillable.

When he went to Ghost Abyss before, Ghost Diary predicted that he might be killed by the Demon Blade Tianqi; in reality, Chu Jiang would not die, but Chu Jiang's consciousness as a human might be extinguished, which can be considered a spiritual death.

If Chu Jiang really died, then what survived would probably be a complete ghost.

So, if Chu Jiang doesn't encounter a major danger that leads to the loss of consciousness, is he considered immortal?

He was somewhat lost. He didn't envy the endless lifespans of those legendary immortals; he just wanted to live his own life to the fullest...

Standing up from the wall, Chu Jiang had calmed down and would just go about his business as usual.

As for Ghost Diary, after sealing two hundred ghosts inside, Chu Jiang could clearly sense that not only was its aura much stronger, but its ability to interfere with the outside world seemed to have become even stronger.

Therefore, we can no longer seal away a hundred ghosts at will. Even if Chu Jiang wants to find the whereabouts of the family cemetery and find out if his biological parents are still alive, we can't indulge it like this.

However, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Mirror and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying? If you don't cooperate with me, you'll end up being stuffed into my diary. Even if you struggle, it will be useless then. You might as well just obey me now."

After saying that, Chu Jiang felt that his wording was not quite right, so he added, "Play the footage that was interrupted just now. Maybe I can consider releasing you from inside the Ghost Mirror in the future."

However, it was clear that the Ghost Mirror ignored Chu Jiang, treating him like a lifeless object.

Seeing this, Chu Jiang could only shake his head and put the broken thing away for now. "Just you wait. I don't believe I can't deal with you after I'm completely transformed into Chu Zombie."

Previously, Chu Jiang was worried about potential problems after the complete transformation into Chu Zombie, and he cannot be completely at ease now.

His main concern was that once he completely became a ghost, his consciousness would be possessed by ghostly nature, and he would truly complete the transformation from human to ghost.
