I have a ghost diary

When he saw his son turn into a normal baby, the man was stunned. After a few seconds, he wiped away his tears with a heavy heart.

But after wiping the child, the man seemed to think about some possibility in the future. He didn't look at the child again, but just paced back and forth with his head down.

After a long pause, he said something that caused the woman to react extremely strongly! She immediately started arguing with her husband and even took several steps back while tightly holding onto her child.

In short, the two sides started discussing something. They talked for a long time on the windy mountain before finally reaching a reluctant agreement.

Then they went down the mountain, but the two remained silent, taking turns holding the child.

It's as if they know they might never see their child again, so they want to remember what he looked like in his final moments, as a human being...

The image in the ghost mirror flickered one last time, and when it became clear again, it showed the entrance of Luoxi City People's Hospital.

Chu Jiang's parents dressed very conservatively, wearing hats, sunglasses, masks, and coats. When no one was looking, they quietly placed the baby in their arms next to the steps at the hospital entrance.

They didn't rush to leave. Instead, they went back to the car to change their clothes and then pretended to take a walk, strolling around the area to observe the child's movements.

A short while later, a young couple walked out of the hospital. The man was carrying a white CT scan bag from the hospital, while the woman looked downcast, as if she had received some bad results from the examination.

At this moment, the child at the door had already attracted the attention of passersby, because he started crying, waving his little hands and kicking his swaddling clothes.

This scene made Chu Jiang's mother feel a little distressed. It seemed to be the first time she had heard the child cry, and she instinctively wanted to go over to him; however, Chu Jiang's father held her hand and just shook his head slightly with a heavy expression.

The young couple quickly gathered in the crowd. They asked around and, after learning that they didn't know whose child it was, hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to pick him up.

After trying to soothe the child for a while, and seeing that no one was coming over, the couple took the child into the hospital for a check-up.

......

In fact, all of this was seen by Chu Jiang's biological parents. They did not rush to leave, but quietly followed Chu Jianjun and Li Xiuxian for several days.

After confirming that the couple were good people and that they intended to adopt the child, they suddenly became conflicted.

Chu Jiang understood what was going on; they must be the biological parents, worried that the adoptive parents would be killed by the ghost baby.

To Chu Jiang's surprise, the ghost mirror quickly skipped several still frames, showing that the biological parents had actually been following Chu and Li for more than half a year, confirming that their son was growing up healthily; and only after confirming that nothing should happen to him in the short term did they leave.

As for where to return, it will naturally be the family cemetery...

After reading it all, Chu Jiang hesitated for a moment. Could it be that his biological parents were still alive? As long as nothing unexpected had happened over the years.

Did they actually see the video they released showing their hands turning into zombie hands? Did they still follow news from the paranormal community? Did they know that their son had inevitably followed the path of a ghost master?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Jiang decided to go directly to the family cemetery!

Some things are inevitable. At first, Chu Jiang felt resentful when he learned that he was an abandoned child; but after understanding the whole story, Chu Jiang realized that he had wronged his biological parents.

After all, any normal person would be terrified if a ghost were born directly.

With the help of the Ghost Mirror, Chu Jiang can now confirm that the family cemetery should be located on a mountain near Xiangyang City. A bus stop sign for that city appeared in a previous scene.

Looking back now, I guess my parents brought him all the way from Xiangyang City to Luoxi City on the southern coast because they didn't want Chu Jiang to find any information about the Chu clan through various clues.

Chu Jiang set off immediately, and because he was in a hurry this time, he didn't take a slow plane. Instead, he used his Ghost Domain to transform into a beam of light and traveled at full speed.

......

Not long after, Chu Jiang arrived in the sky above Xiangyang City. He stood high in the sky and looked around. After searching twice without finding anything, he simply took out the Ghost Mirror.

This guy is being very accommodating right now, immediately giving Chu Jiang directions.

In the end, Chu Jiang headed west, flying further and further into remote and desolate places, until he crashed headfirst into the mountains.

To be honest, Chu Jiang thought he had memorized what the mountain looked like and that finding it shouldn't be difficult.

However, once he ventured deeper into the mountains, he realized he had been too confident. There were countless similar peaks here, and if it weren't for the Ghost Mirror guiding him, Chu Jiang would have taken at least ten days to half a month to find them.

Upon finally arriving at their destination, Chu Jiang, following the method shown in the previous scene, threw the Chu Zang Iron Plaque, which looked like a miniature tombstone, into the deep pool.

A huge shadow appeared beneath the water's surface, and Chu Jiang instinctively realized that it was also a ghost, a very special one... Of course, it wasn't hostile towards him.

The iron gate opened wide, and Chu Jiang leaped through it.

He first felt a darkness before his eyes and the world spinning, and then his feet suddenly landed on solid ground.

Looking up, Chu Jiang saw a mountain rising abruptly from the ground. The mountain was lush and green, with clouds and mist swirling around its peak. It was a paradise on earth.

But looking around, the mountain is covered with tombs, some new and some old, neatly occupying the entire peak, giving the mountain an air of gloom.

Chu Jiang glanced at it, then turned his gaze to the quiet bamboo house at the foot of the mountain. Even after experiencing so much, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

Chapter 446 Parents

Having made up his mind, Chu Jiang stepped forward step by step.

But when he arrived at the bamboo house, before he even opened the door, he found that there was no one inside.

Chu Jiang opened the door and took a look. There were indeed signs that someone had lived here. Moreover, there was a generator behind the house, a satellite dish on the roof, and modern appliances such as refrigerators, computers, and televisions inside. Obviously, the people living here were not completely isolated from the world.

Standing inside the house, Chu Jiang closed his eyes and used his extrasensory perception to sense the surroundings; he quickly discovered that a middle-aged couple was farming in the fields behind the mountain, seemingly unaware of Chu Jiang's arrival.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang took the initiative to head in that direction.

......

Although they regularly went out to purchase supplies, Chu Pingshan and his wife Zhang Yuejuan still cultivated a few acres of land, not for the harvest, but mainly to improve their health and kill time, otherwise they would easily overthink if they were idle for too long.

When Chu Jiang's undisguised footsteps approached, the couple were startled at first; when they looked up and saw the person coming from afar, they were both stunned, and then they became flustered and even at a loss.

This was unexpected for Chu Jiang; he felt that he should be the one who was more nervous.

After Chu Jiang stood in front of the two men, Chu Pingshan was the first to calm down. He asked with some difficulty, "Who are you looking for?" His voice was hoarse and unnatural.

Compared to what Chu Jiang had seen in the Ghost Mirror, his parents' appearances hadn't changed much, but they had clearly aged considerably, and wrinkles had begun to appear on their foreheads.

This made Chu Jiang sigh. "I know everything. Come on, let's go back and sit down, and have a good talk."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand to his biological parents.

Zhang Yuejuan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. She instinctively wanted to grab the hand, but Chu Pingshan immediately stopped her.

Clearly, this descendant of the previous generation of the Chu family still harbors some wariness towards Chu Jiang, even though he still doesn't know whether he is a human or a ghost.

So Chu Jiang withdrew his hand and said, "Come with me."

The two hesitated for a moment, but still followed Chu Jiang back to the bamboo house with him.

Please have your parents sit down. Chu Jiang skillfully boils water, rinses the teapot and teacups, brews tea, pours tea, and serves tea.

During this process, Chu Jiang discovered that neither of his parents were ghost masters, which surprised him. He had thought that at least his father should be a ghost master, after all, he was a descendant of the Chu lineage.

But thinking about it, back when they were still active outside, there was really no need for them to become ghost masters; it was a path of no return.

Faced with the two somewhat reserved and silent individuals, Chu Jiang began to introduce himself, "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Chu Jiang, the Jiang of 'river'."

“My adoptive parents gave me this name. They saw the name Chu Zi on the sign and thought it was unlucky, so they gave me my current name.”

Chu Jiang began his story from his earliest childhood memories, recounting his elementary, middle, and high school years in an orderly fashion, sharing his life experiences, his friends, and his loves and hates.

Then he began to recount how he became a ghost master and how he gradually got to where he is today.

Chu Pingshan and Zhang Yuejuan were quickly drawn into Chu Jiang's story. They found his experiences incredible, yet they couldn't help but feel sorry for the suffering he had endured...

When Chu Jiang recounted how he learned the truth through the ghost mirror and how he defined himself, Chu Pingshan was somewhat incredulous. "You mean, you are both a human and a ghost?"

Chu Jiang nodded. “I know you may find it hard to believe, but I think this is the closest to the truth. Unless you are willing to deny my existence and believe that the person in front of you is just a ghost in disguise.”

"No, that's not it!" Zhang Yuejuan could no longer hold back, and she rushed over to hug Chu Jiang with tears streaming down her face.

This time, Chu Pingshan hesitated for a moment and did not stop him.

Chu Jiang gently patted his mother's back, waiting for her to calm down.

Chu Pingshan silently held his teacup, then slowly said, "I once thought about killing you, but your mother wouldn't allow it. Yes, it was when you transformed into human form that I felt was the best opportunity."

Chu Jiang nodded, not finding it surprising.

"Then we discussed what to do with you. Your mother thought we should raise you and see how things go. Maybe you'll grow up to be a normal person, just like I was back then."

“After all, according to your grandparents, my condition was also very serious when I was born.”

“But I refuted that claim, because when I was born, at least part of my body was still alive. But when you were born, you were completely a ghost. I’m afraid that the reason you turned back into a human body was just to coax us into raising you.”

"You have no idea how much pressure I was under in the days after you were born. I was too afraid to sleep at all. Whenever I managed to doze off for a while, I would force myself to wake up. I even had intermittent dreams of you cutting Yuejuan open..."

"In short, back then we had absolutely no idea whether you were a human or a ghost, and we even thought the probability of you being a ghost was higher."

"In the end, I suggested that I leave you in the wilderness to fend for yourself."

"But your mother strongly opposed it, believing that you should be sent to an orphanage or adopted by a kind person."

"Then I posed a question: What if one night you turned into a vengeful ghost and personally killed the people in the orphanage, or even the person who adopted you?"

"Your mother fell silent at that moment, because doing so would be tantamount to transferring a disaster that should have befallen us to innocent people."

"When I saw your mother crying, I softened and thought I'd check the situation first. I left you at the hospital entrance to see if someone would take you away."

"You know what happened next. We didn't just throw you away and leave. Instead, we kept an eye on you for six months."

"Actually, your mother regretted it more and more as time went on. She blamed me and herself; she thought you were just a normal child."

"But we've already given you away to be raised for half a year, and we're too ashamed to ask for you back. If you can really live a normal life in the future, that would be a good thing for you."

“But…” Chu Pingshan shook his head, “Perhaps it’s fate. Ever since the resurgence of supernatural phenomena, I’ve been particularly worried that one day I’ll see Chu Zhan reappear in the world.”

"So I've been keeping an eye on news from the paranormal community and asking some ghost-master friends outside to gather information; when we learned that you were becoming famous in this field, neither of us was happy at all. We just felt that sooner or later, you would become that ghost again..."

Chapter 447 Mr. Xu's Last Words

According to Chu Pingshan's description, Chu Jiang learned that his parents had been keeping track of his news ever since he rose to prominence as a ghost master.

However, after hesitating, they still did not take the initiative to acknowledge him; especially when they saw Chu Jiang display those zombie hands, they could only feel suffocated.

It wasn't what Chu Jiang imagined: Now that I've shown the characteristics of the Chu lineage, if anyone in the Chu family is still alive, they should contact me.

Another point is that when Chu Jiang was completely transformed into Chu Zombie by the Luo River, Chu Pingshan sensed it, since Chu Zombie was inherited from him and passed down to Chu Jiang.

The moment Chu Jiang was completely transformed into Chu Zombie, Chu Pingshan had a vague premonition that from then on, there would be no more Chu Jiang, only the ghost of Chu Zombie. He sighed that this day had finally come.

Of course, Chu Jiang's arrival in person now directly dispelled all his doubts and conjectures...
