I have a ghost diary

The bells of the two realms vibrated and rang continuously; even more terrifying, doors suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the dead scattered throughout the world!

These portals are somewhere between solid and semi-transparent, and are visible even to ordinary people.

But at this moment, ordinary civilians, seeing "ghosts" inexplicably appearing around them, were already terrified and would never dare to fight with the dead for a place to live.

In theory, unless Chu Jiang could instantly split himself into hundreds of thousands of versions of himself and simultaneously arrive at the side of these dead, he would have no chance of stopping Slender Man.

Otherwise, if even one of the dead were to enter the world behind the door, it would signify that the real world is no longer a world without ghosts.

This also signifies that all of Chu Jiang's and Research Institute No. 21's efforts will be in vain; from now on, humans and ghosts will never be able to be separated again.

Even if Chu Jiang manages to catch up, it won't matter, because even if he can transform into a life sun and travel the world, he can still concentrate his power on a specific point.

However, as long as the Slender Man doesn't actively reveal its ghostly aura or jump out to court death, Chu Jiang won't be able to accurately locate it and launch a targeted attack.

To take it even further, Slender Man could use the time difference between entering and exiting to close all the portals; after all, if it has figured out how to activate them, it is likely that it can also figure out how to close them.

If Ghost Shadow then kills Zhang Haoran, the only survivor in the real world, then Chu Jiang and the research institute, having lost their precious sample, will likely find it extremely difficult to find a way to activate the Two Realms Bell.

Chapter 452 A Small Victory in Ghost Diaries

At this critical moment, Chu Jiang did not choose to pursue the dead, who numbered at least tens of thousands. Instead, he chose to target the Two Realms Bell, which was closest to him!

Moreover, considering that he couldn't contain the left-handed ghost within his body, and that the Blood Hand Ghost probably wouldn't be able to suppress it in a short time, Chu Jiang's mind raced, and he immediately took out the black tin box from before.

Previously, when the Two Realms Bell was in the metal box, Slender Ghost not only couldn't find it, but also didn't use the current move, "Awaken the Dead," to open the door, probably because the metal box could completely block out the sound of the bell.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Jiang took out the tin box, forcibly grabbed the bronze bell that was vibrating in the air, and stuffed it back into the box, he found that he could not get the box back to its previous "locked" state.

Even when the box is closed, the ringing can still be heard from the outside.

But Zhang Haoran could have done it before; he was the one who turned it on and off back then... It's too late to go back and find Zhang Haoran now!

Left with no other choice, Chu Jiang had to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless, and took out the Ghost Diary.

Although the Two Realms Bell is not a ghost, but more like a sealed object, the Ghost Diary possesses the power of [Domination]. For example, last time, it forcibly dominated the Sky-Gazing Ghost Mirror, forcing the Ghost Mirror to "show a movie" to Chu Jiang.

So theoretically, Ghost Diary could forcibly control the Bell of Two Worlds, or at the very least, lock it up, right?

However, when Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary, the Ghost Diary did not react at all; even when Chu Jiang tried to stuff it into the diary, he could not.

After all, this is not a prepared ghost with no ability to resist, but an object, which does not meet the sealing rules of the Ghost Diary.

These two world bells are also mysterious. They don't have bell springs at all, and at this moment, Chu Jiang is holding them so tightly that they can't move. However, their bell sounds never stop and continue to resound throughout the world.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing was extremely useful, Chu Jiang would have wanted to try and forcibly destroy it using zombie power.

While Chu Jiang was fiddling with the Two Realms Bell and the Ghost Diary, the hundreds of thousands of dead had already reached out to open the door!

Although many demon masters realized that something was wrong, they began to try to seal these seemingly weak demons on their own without being notified.

However, even though some of the deceased's attempts to open the door were interrupted, many more of them gripped the doorknob without any interference.

Just as hundreds of thousands of portals were about to be opened, Chu Jiang subconsciously gritted his teeth and shouted, "One hundred ghosts!"

This was the condition Chu Jiang gave to Ghost Diary. Last time, it used clues about the family cemetery to lure Chu Jiang, trying to get him to seal the third batch of one hundred ghosts inside.

However, because Chu Jiang violently "subdued" Gui Jing, Gui Diary's plan failed.

Chu Jiang has now agreed to do so, in exchange for Ghost Diary. He just needs to help him seal the Two Realms Bell first.

When Chu Jiang made this condition, he was already thinking about whether Ghost Diary would take advantage of the situation and directly demand that Chu Jiang seal all 306 pages.

This is not impossible; [Wudu] possesses its own consciousness.

Moreover, having followed Chu Jiang for so long, it should know very well how much Chu Jiang cares about the real world. Even if it took advantage of the chaos, Chu Jiang could only agree to it temporarily at this critical moment.

After all, even if Wudu, who controls 306 ghosts, is terrifying, Chu Jiang, who now controls the complete power of Chu Zhan, is confident he can put up a fight. However, if Slender Man enters the real world, then it's all over.

To Chu Jiang's surprise, Ghost Diary did not take the opportunity to blackmail him.

Upon hearing Chu Jiang's words, black and red bloodstains seeped onto the cover of the diary, intertwining to form the shape of a cage; then the Two Realms Bell held in Chu Jiang's right hand flickered and was instantly forcibly captured onto the cover of the diary.

Just then, all the dead reached out and opened the door!

But the moment the door opened, all the doors vanished in an instant, like a dream, because the bell had stopped ringing...

Chu Jiang nodded upon seeing this, then looked at the Ghost Diary again, "Can you control the Two Realms Bell to open the door?"

The Ghost Diary didn't answer; it simply let the bell on the cover sink into a blank page in the diary. This was clearly an alternative answer, but it couldn't provide one.

However, at the same time, a painting of a ghost bride appeared on the cover of Ghost Diary. The painting was very illusory, and it was obviously not a picture of a ghost, but rather a hint from Ghost Diary to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang shook his head; this was clearly an order for him to capture the ghost bride.

Once the Ghost Diary consumes the Ghost Bride and becomes the absolute ruler of the domain, it will likely be able to forcibly control the Two Realms Bell and open the passage between the two realms.

Putting aside his ghost diary for the time being, Chu Jiang looked ahead.

Because countless dead people reassembled into a gauntlet, it once again unleashed its ghostly domain and teleported to Chu Jiang's side out of thin air.

It can be said that Ghost Shadow's conspiracy has been thwarted. This time, unless it can defeat Chu Jiang head-on, its goal will never be achieved.

Their lifeless gazes met once more, and this time, the Slender Man seemed determined to fight with everything he had.

The two were still in Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, but everything in the ghost realm began to age, weather, and decay. Stones were mottled and collapsed, metals were rusted and corroded, and glass was faded and cracked. Everything was collapsing and being destroyed, as if hundreds of years had passed in this school in an instant.

However, Chu Jiang remained unchanged, because ghosts don't die of old age, while humans do.

Slender Man has thus far demonstrated at least six abilities, including: a ghostly realm with global teleportation capabilities, the ability to create ghostly servants, the ability to devour, the ability to restart time, the ability to let time flow, and the ability to awaken the dead.

It has to be said that this ghost was abnormally strong, but unfortunately, it encountered Chu Jiang, who was also Chu Zhan.

Chu Jiang stretched out his right hand and plunged it into his own head! He stirred it around inside expressionlessly, and finally managed to drag out a white ghost tiger.

The mighty and fierce tiger of the heart paused for a moment, seemingly still not understanding who had dragged him out this time.

Chu Jiang looked at it, then pointed to the thin, ghostly figure opposite him. "You stay here and watch. I'll deal with this guy. Your job is to prevent it from leaving in any way. This is the reading fee I'm charging you, and it's only part of it, understand?"

The white tiger glanced indifferently at Chu Jiang, then turned and charged suddenly at the thin, ghostly figure! It seemed... it had misunderstood. Chu Jiang confirmed once again that this guy really couldn't understand human speech.

As the White Tiger charged forward, swords, spears, halberds, and all sorts of weapons and armor appeared within the Ghost Realm; moreover, all kinds of killing tools from ancient times to the present were present, as if a glittering "King's Treasury" had been opened before the ghosts.

This is precisely a manifestation of the White Tiger [Master of War]'s abilities.

Chapter 453 The Cycle of Life and Death

The most important matters of state are sacrifice and war.

Since ancient times, the white tiger has been associated with military strategists, whether it is the white tiger flag or white tiger tally of ancient armies, or the military tally made in the shape of a tiger.

The White Tiger misunderstood Chu Jiang's meaning and used the abilities of [Master of War] and [Slaughter] to attack the Slender Ghost.

After hundreds of weapons appeared, countless ghost soldiers and generals also appeared in the ghost realm. Each of them wielded a sword and spear and launched a silent charge against the ghostly figures!

The slender ghost raised his hand and summoned countless ghostly servants. Apart from some missing parts of their bodies, these servants were very similar to the original ghost.

The ghost servants were clearly no match for the Yin soldiers and generals, and were quickly wiped out.

Because the ghost soldiers are merely variations of abilities and have no actual physical form, they are almost immune to any harm, while the ghost servants can be destroyed, making it an unfair war.

It's worth mentioning that after the White Tiger charged through the million-strong army of ghosts, it vanished without a trace...

Chu Jiang then took out the demonic sword Tianqi and tried to roll a 666; unfortunately, the dice did not cooperate, only giving Chu Jiang a curse instead of imbuing him with powerful energy.

It didn't matter, Chu Jiang's power was now sufficient. He took the knife and transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the thin, ghostly figure!

At this moment, the ghostly figure opened its mouth into a black hole without expression. As soon as countless ghostly soldiers approached it, they were frantically swallowed into its belly, as if this ghost could devour everything in the world.

But after a flash of light, the thin, ghostly figure was cut in half at the waist!

After the attack, even Chu Jiang himself was somewhat surprised. He was able to control himself from being sucked into the ghost's stomach; but he didn't expect that the other party would actually stand there stupidly and let him attack.

It should be noted that while this demonic sword's illusions are not as effective against ghosts as they are against humans, its sharpness is such that it can even cut through the body of a zombie and can harm all types of vengeful spirits.

Looking back, Chu Jiang realized that it must have been the White Tiger who entered the body of the Slender Man through the [Heart Tiger] ability.

Whether the ghost was conscious or not, it at least possessed the instincts of a ghost, which is why the White Tiger was able to enter it.

Only robots that have absolutely no "heart" or ghost servants that have no "self" can be invaded by the White Tiger.

The ghostly figure could still move, and it instinctively pieced its body back together and turned to look at Chu Jiang.

Its black hole-like eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead, then expanded several times over, indicating that it was engaged in a fierce stalemate and confrontation with the white tiger on a mental level.

Chu Jiang glanced at it, then instantly rushed forward and delivered three thousand six hundred more blows! He chopped it to pieces.

At this point, Chu Jiang wouldn't bother with any talk of martial virtues with a ghost; he would naturally strike while the iron was hot and take his life.

Meanwhile, the remaining ghost soldiers and generals who had not yet been devoured also beat the fallen ghost fragments mercilessly.

Although the fragments can still devour the ghostly figure during this process, they continue to attack relentlessly, causing countless weapons to slash, chop, hack, stab, and impale the ghost.

Seeing that the enemy was almost completely destroyed, and the ghost soldiers and weapons were almost completely devoured, Chu Jiang released the Moonlit Ghost Domain once again.

He caused the bright moon in the sky to send down countless soft rays of light, enveloping the fragments of the gauntlet.

At the same time, he held black flames in his left hand and blood in his right, and when he clasped his hands together, countless blood flames burst forth and covered the thin, ghostly figure.

The radiance of life burned the fragments of the ghostly shadow, which was also Chu Jiang's signal to the white tiger, telling it to come out and not to stay too long, lest it be dealt with by him.

At the same time, the Blood Flame was intended to suppress the Ghost Shadow's resistance. Once it had exhausted all its remaining strength and was completely unable to move, it could be sealed away.

However, to Chu Jiang's surprise, the Slender Ghost was incredibly tenacious, forcibly piecing all the fragments back together. Moreover, it could devour both the life essence and the composite blood flames. The more it devoured, the faster its body recovered.

The strangest thing is that the White Tiger still hasn't appeared...

Chu Jiang shook his head; he still had to do it himself.

He maintained his two offensive tactics and simultaneously approached the ghostly figure that was lying on the ground, twisting and struggling.

After observing for a moment, Chu Jiang squatted down and actually inserted his right hand into the black hole in the ghost's mouth!

This was essentially like delivering the goods to his door, and the ghostly figure immediately began to devour Chu Ji frantically.

But Chu Jiang remained unmoved; he intended to divide Yin and Yang within the ghost's body and establish new rules.

Soon, all the ghostly fragments simultaneously exhibited two characteristics: one yin and one yang; one alive and one dead.

Yin and Yang alternate, life and death alternate, and finally, where Chu Jiang intervened, a perfectly formed Tai Chi diagram was created; it even contained Yin and Yang fish, chasing each other without beginning or end.
