I have a ghost diary

Sister Bei chuckled, "Didn't I already tell you all this on the phone? I even sent some materials to your email. Don't tell me you forgot right away."

Chu Jiang coughed without changing his expression, "I think it's better to discuss some details in person, so I declined many invitations from home and abroad and made a special trip here."

Belfast swirled the wine in her glass, her beautiful eyes darting over Chu Jiang, and asked in a teasing tone, "Really?"

“Okay,” Chu Jiang spread his hands and said in a rather “frank” tone, “It’s fake, I’m here on vacation.”

This made Bei Jie laugh even more. "Why are you here on vacation? I didn't tell you beforehand that I have a big estate here in Chongqing."

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, then looked at Jie De, who was eavesdropping intently, and said, "Little brat, you go out first."

Jade was taken aback. "What did you call me?"

"Little girl, your godmother and I have some special things to discuss. You should leave quietly first."

“No, don’t listen to him.” Sister Bei walked gracefully to Jade and pulled her to sit down on the sofa in the hall. “Just say what you have to say. Jade is my most beloved and trusted daughter. No matter what the secret is, you don’t need to hide it from her.”

Although Jade knew that her godmother was just putting on an act and deliberately saying it for Chu Jiang's benefit, she still felt happy and joyful upon hearing these compliments, and she couldn't suppress it.

This gave Chu Jiang a headache. Belfast was too smart; she saw through his intentions almost immediately and set up obstacles for him.

Of course, if Sister Bei really disliked Chu Jiang, she would never speak to him in such a teasing tone; she would certainly not be arguing with him here, but would instead coldly kick him out.

So Chu Jiang said, "A vacation is only one of my purposes; another is that I want to get closer to you."

"How close? Negative distance?" Sister Bei asked casually.

Chu Jiang paused for a moment, then said, "This...it mainly depends on you. I guarantee that all our interactions are entirely voluntary on your part; if you think I'm here to harass you, you can have the Little Saintess beat me out with sticks at any time."

"Who is this little saintess? Could it be our Jade again?" Sister Bei said, putting her arm around her adopted daughter's shoulder.

Chu Jiang nodded. "It's just a form of address."

Seeing that Chu Jiang had finally revealed his "wolf's ambition," Belfast tapped his chin with his finger and began to ponder.

Jade was a little nervous, and at the same time, she felt something was off. Chu Jiang was clearly very young, so why was the person he was interested in the Pope? Was he a fan of older women?

Of course, Jade couldn't deny that her godmother was incredibly feminine, possessing certain advantages over a young and pretty girl like herself. She also had a great figure and high intelligence and emotional intelligence...

As she compared herself to others, Jade began to feel inferior. Then she realized that her wild thoughts were blasphemous and she wanted to slap herself.

Just then, Sister Bei finally spoke up, "Forget about dating. You're a fickle scumbag, and dating you wouldn't do me any good."

"Moreover, I will never get married in my life. My parents' failed marriage has made me distrustful and fearful of this kind of relationship."

"If you really want to come here for a vacation, you can stay as long as you like, but I might not be here often. If we have time, we can chat about interesting topics or play chess or something."

"As for Jade, you actually had a great opportunity to get her before. Now that's gone. I respect her personal opinion and will not force her to submit to you."

Chu Jiang nodded, "I never intended to force this young girl either."

Jade paused for a moment when she heard about the decision, then turned slightly and buried her head in her godmother's arms.

Belfast rarely showed her such intimacy; he usually treated her more like a stern elder, so Jade cherished this moment.

Sister Bei gently patted Jade's back, then gestured to Chu Jiang with her eyes that he could go upstairs to pick up his bags and move in.

Chu Jiang did not disturb the tender time between the "mother and daughter," but simply nodded again and quietly went upstairs.

......

That evening, the three of them dined together at the manor. Chu Jiang could tell that the relationship between Sister Bei and Jade had grown much closer.

At least it no longer felt like a cold, impersonal superior-subordinate relationship; it was much more harmonious. This amused Chu Jiang, who hadn't expected his arrival to actually promote harmony in someone else's family.

During the meal, Belfast asked Chu Jiang many questions, mainly to understand his past, his personality, and his vision for the future.

Although Bei Jie had done a lot of research on Chu Jiang when she was brainwashed by his delusions, she still wanted to verify whether her analysis of Chu Jiang was wrong.

Chu Jiang calmly ate and responded as if they were having a casual chat.

Correspondingly, he also asked Sister Bei many questions. Although he had hypnotized her before, that was not her normal state after all, and Chu Jiang wanted to understand her more.

Sister Bei responded in kind, while insisting that Chu Jiang change his address and stop using the title "Sister Bei".

Chu Jiang actually felt that the name was quite affectionate, but since the other party insisted, he changed it to the nickname "Bella" and used it to refer to her occasionally.

Overall, the meal was harmonious, and Jade remained quiet, listening more and speaking less.

......

Over the next few days, Chu Jiang and Sister Bei played chess, rode horses, played golf, and played Texas Hold'em; or they would read scripts together, take walks in the garden, and so on. In short, they got along very well.

Belfast wasn't as busy as she claimed. With nothing else to do, she spent her time on various vacations and leisure activities with Chu Jiang. She even taught Chu Jiang how to play things he didn't know how to do, such as golf.

As for Jade, she was sent out by Sister Bay to attend to matters concerning the Church of the Holy Word, so she hasn't been here acting as a third wheel these past few days.

On the fourth night, the two played cards as usual, this time with a new game called Belote, which has 32 cards, with only eight cards of each suit: A, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K.

Chu Jiang had never played this game before, so after a brief trial, he kept losing to Belfast.

However, after losing many rounds, Chu Jiang became familiar with the rules and found the tricks, quickly catching up in win rate and even starting to overtake Bei Jie.

This annoyed the woman, and the two began to have some physical contact.

It's also worth mentioning that they did this in bed... So at some point, somehow, the two of them ended up embracing each other, their clothes disheveled.

Seeing this, Belfast turned off the dim light by the bedside, and Chu Jiang, understanding the gesture, kissed her soft lips, savoring the taste of this mixed-race beauty.

What followed was, of course, a wonderful and indescribable night; in short, the bed creaked and shook for a long time.

......

The next morning, Chu Jiang woke up refreshed. He had finally rediscovered his long-lost desire and, for the first time, transformed from a boy into a man.

As for Sister Bei, she was very tired and just lazily lay in Chu Jiang's arms to catch up on sleep.

Since both of them had taken the first step, in the following days, their leisure and entertainment activities were frequently interspersed with things that were not suitable for children.

On the first day, Chu Jiang warned himself not to become obsessed with women.

The next day, Chu Jiang became completely obsessed with Belfast.

On the third day, Sister Bei vented her anger on Chu Jiang in bed, "Are you a dog? Isn't it enough that you've asked for it so many times?"

Chu Jiang's response was: "If I were a dog, you would be the female one, thank you."

On the fourth day, Belfast's lips curled into a slight smile, and she said in a provocative tone, "Want to do it again?"

As a man, Chu Jiang absolutely could not tolerate it, so the two sides went to war again.

On the fifth day, Chu Jiang began packing his luggage, preparing to return to China.

On the sixth day, the plan to return home was put on hold.

On the seventh day, good news came from the headquarters of the 21st Research Institute: the research on the Two Realms Bell had made significant progress, and Expert Chen told Chu Jiang to return as soon as possible.

Thus, Chu Jiang finally escaped the allure of pleasure, officially ending his vacation and embarking on his journey home...

P.S.: This is a 3111-word chapter today...

Chapter 458 The Key to Opening the Door

On his way back to China using the Ghost Domain, Chu Jiang was still thinking about what had happened before he left.

After their last tender moment, Belfast asked Chu Jiang a question, "When did you start having feelings for me?"

"Is that even a question? It was when you handed me flyers on my way home." Chu Jiang answered without hesitation.

"It seems you underestimate how profound an impression a beautiful older woman's face wash can leave on a pure, innocent high school boy."

"Although my reason tells me to be wary of you, I can't forget some feelings; to some extent, you are despicable, taking advantage of others, and lusting after copper."

Bayonetta couldn't help but laugh. "How can you blame me for this? Besides, I clearly used Jade's appearance!"

"But you are not Jade after all. Your scent, your softness, I think I will never forget them in this lifetime."

"So, do you like me?" Sister Bei looked at Chu Jiang with great interest.

Chu Jiang hesitated for a moment, "I can't tell if it's desire or love. Actually, when I was most affected by the ghost, my memory of you was frozen; I just remembered that you existed, but I didn't have any emotional fluctuations."

"Later, as my health gradually improved, I became familiar with you again and could still recall that impulsive feeling, but I remained relatively calm overall."

"Finally, it's been recently. As I've become more like a normal person, that impulse has started to resurface and intensify. That's why I came here. I originally planned to talk about it after everything had settled down."

“That’s good,” Belfast gently nibbled at his earlobe. “Let’s not date. Dating hurts feelings. Let’s just be friends, friends with no distance.”

This statement also made Chu Jiang laugh out loud.

......

As he pondered, his homeland came into view in the distance. Chu Jiang composed himself and flew in one breath to the headquarters of the research institute.

Upon arriving at Expert Chen's office, the other two experts and Zhang Haoran were already waiting there.

According to what Expert Chen said on the phone, they now possess the key to opening the portal, which is the method to open the gateway to the real world through the Two Realms Bell.

However, there are still some obstacles and difficulties to overcome in terms of actual implementation.

"So, what difficulties do we need to overcome? Should I step in to solve them?" Chu Jiang asked as soon as he arrived.

“Of course, there are some things that only top-tier combatants like you can solve.” Expert Chen turned his chair and stood up.

It's worth mentioning that the bodyguards of several experts have been absent recently, including the obscure Zhang San and the girl with the blown-up head who accompanies Ning Miaowei.

Due to the escalating resurgence of supernatural phenomena, the research institute has lost many ghost masters, and it is no longer able to provide the experts with powerful bodyguards. All available personnel have been dispatched.

Anyway, these experts have been staying at the research institute every day lately and haven't been going out to work, so I'm not too worried about them being attacked.

Expert Liu interjected, "After a period of research, we discovered that the Two Realms Bell naturally possesses the instinct to help those who have strayed into the underworld return to the mortal world."

"However, this instinct is usually internalized and cannot be directly expressed. In other words, it cannot distinguish whether a person has mistakenly entered the underworld."

"The reason why the Slender Man was able to open the door for him last time was because he created the illusion that a large number of lost people were lingering in the underworld and unable to return."

"Moreover, it can clearly transmit this illusion to the Two Realms Bell, causing the Two Realms Bell to make a misjudgment."

"We don't know how Slender Man achieves this mechanism. But after nearly a month of trial and error and research, we have successfully established a connection between the Two Realms Bell and Zhang Haoran."

"Now Zhang Haoran can tell the Two Realms Bell who needs help."

“We also tried other candidates during this period, but perhaps because Zhang Haoran is in the real world, only he was able to successfully establish contact with the Two Realms Bell.”

"We speculate that he is essentially a clear and stable beacon that can guide others back to the real world."
