I have a ghost diary

The other woman was wearing a red cheongsam. She was tall, beautiful, and had a slightly pale complexion. Her long black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, making her look like she had stepped out of a TV drama from the Republican era.

Behind the two men were two bodyguards in black suits.

Upon seeing the woman in the white dress, Chu Tianya exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Jing, what brings you here?"

"Where's my mom? Didn't she come?"

This person was Jing Ruoxue. Sixteen years had passed, and her appearance had hardly changed.

Faced with Chu Tianya's question, Jing Ruoxue shook her head slightly, "She was supposed to come, but your dad told her to keep sleeping, saying it's a small matter and that her skin will be better if she gets enough sleep."

Chu Tianya was speechless. He didn't know whether to say that his father was too strict or that his mother just lay down and continued sleeping, showing a lack of concern.

Director Li coughed, about to say something, when the man in the suit behind Jing Ruoxue first "rescued" Chu Tianya from the hands of several security guards.

Then another man stepped forward and negotiated with Director Li. His tone was very polite and not arrogant.

As they were talking, Jing Ruoxue smiled and looked at Chu Tianya, "You did well this time, you're a grown-up now."

Chu Tianya stretched his arms and said with a somewhat anxious expression, "This is not the time to talk about this. I've encountered a ghost! It really is a ghost, and there's a ghostly crow eyeing me from the tree at the school gate."

As he spoke, Chu Tianya looked at the kapok tree outside the door, and then he froze. The bird in the tree was gone.

"Is this what you mean?" The woman in the cheongsam stretched out her right hand, and then a jet-black crow flew over from nowhere and landed on her right arm, looking Chu Tianya up and down.

Chu Tianya was startled! He staggered backward, and no matter how many times he had seen this bird, the feeling of impending death did not diminish in the slightest.

Upon seeing this, the woman in the cheongsam flicked her hand, causing the crow to fly away. "You are very perceptive. This is a 'Deathbird.' As soon as it flies over and calls your name, you will die instantly."

Chu Tianya looked at the woman in the cheongsam with some surprise, "You, who are you?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jing Ruoxue with pleading eyes; she was the biological mother of his younger sister.

The woman in the cheongsam smiled slightly, her face which had previously been somewhat indifferent. "I'm also your aunt. I've watched you grow up since you were little, it's just that you can't see me."

Chu Tianya was stunned. He couldn't see it before, but now he could... wasn't that a ghost?!

His pupils contracted, and he felt even more terrified of the other person.

"Let's go back first, we can talk on the way." Jing Ruoxue waved, signaling the child to leave with her first.

......

In the extended car, Chu Tianya sat in the back, looking slightly nervous. His two aunts were sitting opposite him.

Jing Ruoxue calmly said, "I'm sure you have many questions. You can just ask them directly."

At this moment, Chu Tianya's mind was in complete turmoil. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are there really ghosts in the world?"

"Yes," Jing Ruoxue gave a clear answer.

Then, with a slightly reminiscent expression, she recounted to Chu Tianya the events of more than a decade ago, about the global supernatural resurgence and how it ultimately ended.

......

After hearing this, Chu Tianya was completely stunned. The amount of information was just too much!

The world was once haunted, and his own father, from an ordinary high school student at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, eventually grew into a savior who saved the entire world?

Please, even movies don't go this far!

Having finally recovered from his dazed state, Chu Tianya immediately asked, "Then what's going on now? Wasn't it supposed to be that humans and ghosts are separated into two realms, and the supernatural resurgence has completely ended?"

"Why do I still see ghosts and get attacked by them?"

Before Jing Ruoxue could answer, Chu Tianya realized something himself, "Wait a minute, although my mother entered the real world, my father didn't. So half of my bloodline isn't in the real world, and it suddenly awakened today?"

Jing Ruoxue shook her head, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. In fact, Research Institute No. 21 conducted a follow-up investigation. As long as it is not the previous generation that directly passed on the ghost in their bodies to their offspring, then the children born will be in the real world."

"Even if both parents are ghost masters, it's the same if they're both in the real world."

"This is probably related to the fact that more than 99% of ordinary humans in the world have entered the real world; from then on, all newborns have looked up to the original copy of [Zhang Haoran]."

End of Extra: New World

Chu Tianya was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this a good thing? Then why did I...?"

Jing Ruoxue continued to explain, "If everything could really develop in a positive direction, that would be wonderful."

"However, these past sixteen years have not been as peaceful as they appear on the surface; although the two realms are separated, some humans often inexplicably fall into the [underworld]."

"In fact, this was the initial prototype of the paranormal revival. At the beginning, there were only one or two people in the world who fell from the world of the living into the world of the dead."

"Then dozens, hundreds... and finally thousands, tens of thousands, millions, and even the whole world is affected. This is the essence of the paranormal resurgence."

"At the same time, this phenomenon also proves that the source of the paranormal revival has never disappeared."

"Although your father and others worked together to bring more than 99% of ordinary people around the world back to the mortal world, this is not a fundamental solution."

"Over the past sixteen years, every day, every month, and every year, people all over the world have been pulled into the real world."

“The initial numbers were so small that we didn’t notice anything until a year after the shutdown plan was launched, when we started to see some clues.”

"Moreover, our research has revealed that falling into the underworld is a purely probabilistic problem, with absolutely no clues to be found."

"If I had to say, the offspring of ghost masters are more likely to experience this, and occasionally there are one or two children who are born into the underworld."

"Over the years, your father has been searching for the source of the paranormal resurgence and delving into a dark world related to it."

"The peace we enjoy today is actually maintained thanks to the silent efforts of many people."

Chu Tianya was both shocked and felt a little uneasy, realizing that he had misunderstood his father all these years.

He's often away from home, not because he's out partying and having fun with women, but because he has more important things to do.

"That's right!" Chu Tianya suddenly remembered something. "What about the Two Realms Bell? Couldn't we just use this bell to pull people who have fallen into the underworld back?"

Lin Mohua, dressed in a cheongsam, replied, "No, we've already tried that. The first generation of people who fell into the underworld cannot return through the Two Realms Bell."

"Even the children of the first generation have a 50% chance of failing. The relevant research is still ongoing. Theoretically, the further down the bloodline of the first generation, the more likely they are to return through the Two Realms Bell, even up to 100%."

Chu Tianya rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. "So, ghosts have always existed in our daily lives. But those who can't see them can coexist peacefully with them, while only those who can see them face danger and are hunted?"

“Yes,” Jing Ruoxue nodded, “What’s even more frightening is that we’ve discovered that the supernatural resurgence itself can also evolve.”

"Perhaps it's because in the last round of paranormal resurgence, we forcibly reversed the situation and completely suppressed the threat posed by ghosts to the minimum, so the paranormal resurgence has begun to rebound consciously."

"This shows that the newly emerging ghosts are beginning to evolve."

"Take the ghost you encountered at school as an example. It was actually deliberately showing its needs so that the humans who saw it would actively interact with it."

Chu Tianya immediately remembered the dropped eraser and asked incredulously, "Is this...fishing?"

"Yes, even ghosts don't know who can see them and who can't. Some ghosts will subconsciously attack indiscriminately; some ghosts will disguise themselves as humans and actively attract humans to interact with them."

"When you first fall into the underworld, the ghosts can't see you yet; it's like a beginner's protection period. But if you keep staring at it or talk to it, it will see you immediately."

"My God!" Chu Tianya clutched his head in his hands, regretting his kindness. No wonder the female ghost had given him that "I've found you" look.

Lin Mohua continued, "Moreover, these newly appeared ghosts are very strange."

"Just like the one you saw, it can talk, which was unimaginable before. This kind of vengeful ghost, which is at most a C-level, can not only show a certain level of consciousness, but can even talk."

"In short, the world is in peril. Now that you have fallen from the mortal realm, you can no longer remain uninvolved. As a descendant of the Chu family, you have a duty to lend your father a helping hand."

Chu Tianya gave a wry smile. "Alright, then I want to know, what about that death-telling bird..."

Lin Mohua nodded. "Yes, those are the bodyguards your father sent to protect you."

"Since he knows that the offspring of a ghost master have a higher probability of falling into the underworld, he naturally wouldn't leave them without any protective measures."

"Then why didn't this bird just save me?" Chu Tianya said, somewhat annoyed, having caused him unnecessary worry for so long.

Jing Ruoxue covered her mouth and smiled, "What the Death Bird can see is what your father can see; since the Death Bird won't save you, it proves that your father deliberately didn't want to save you."

"I guess he wants to see how you react in a dangerous situation; if your life is really in danger, he won't just stand by and watch you die."

Lin Mohua smiled and said, "It seems you've passed the test. Congratulations."

Chu Tianya nodded helplessly.

"Oh, right!" He remembered something else. "That eye... that female ghost stuffed an eye into my hand and then disappeared. Is it dangerous?"

Jing Ruoxue thought for a moment, "You successfully deciphered the female ghost's killing pattern, causing it to give up its pursuit of you, but would a ghost willingly give things to someone?"

"I'm getting more and more of a headache. What kind of monsters have these ghosts evolved into? Let's ask your dad when we get back. He knows more about them than I do."

Just as the conversation reached this point, the Deathbird suddenly flew silently into the car, startling Chu Tianya.

The bird landed on Lin Mohua's lap, and a picture was projected from its eyes.

The picture shows Chu Jiang wearing pajamas, next to Chen Ke'er, who is covered with a blanket and fast asleep.

Looking at his overly young father and mother through this screen, Chu Tianya was momentarily at a loss for words; he felt a surge of relief and a desire to cry upon seeing them, yet he also felt that the two of them were rather unserious.

Chu Jiang calmly said to his son, "Well done."

He gave a simple compliment, then took out a diary with a black cover.

Chu Tianya remembered this diary. His father would often flip through it when he had free time, even though there was nothing written on it. Sometimes he would even smile at the diary.

Chu Jiang patted the diary and asked, "What did my son get?"

An annoyed female voice came from the diary: "Shut up! Go check it yourself."

Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang simply stretched out his hand unhurriedly, turning his right hand into a bluish-black color.

Then the being inside the diary said, unwillingly and with a gritted teeth, "[Chen Rui's other eye], a cursed object, an evil thing."

Ending......
