I have a ghost diary

"Are you really having class?"

Number One and Number Two said in unison.

Chu Jiang spread his hands. "Otherwise what?"

He ignored the two Sun Xiaomans' surprise, simply turned on the projector and adjusted it. Then he turned off the main room light, leaving only the dim bedside lamp on, so that he could see more clearly.

This naturally made the room even darker, and the two Sun Xiaomans couldn't help but shrink back and move a little further away from each other...

Chu Jiang, looking very serious, went to his desk and took a few textbooks. Then he sat down next to the projection screen and waited for the video on the USB drive to play.

Soon, the words "X's Human Anatomy" were projected onto the screen: "X's Human Anatomy" (A Record by a Silent Teacher)

When Sun Xiaoman and the others saw the words "human anatomy," their expressions changed instantly. At the same time, they could roughly guess what kind of class Chu Jiang was going to have.

"do not want!"

"do not want!"

Both girls closed their eyes at the same time, shook their heads, and struggled, "Don't make me think of those images again, or I'll throw up."

"Quiet." Chu Jiang did not pause the playback.

Soon, bilingual subtitles appeared on the screen, along with some very clear photos of corpses.

At the same time, Chu Jiang explained, "Currently, it's a matter of whether the ghost is imitating Sun Xiaoman or not, and it's an all-round imitation. It's too difficult for you to prove it yourselves."

"The only way I can think of is to find the differences between the two of you."

"Thanks to Sun Xiaoman for the information she gave me this morning. She said that lifelike dolls are very obsessed with the human body structure."

"Or perhaps it's not so much an obsession as an instinct for the puppet, stemming from the instinct to imitate."

"In order to better mimic humans, it will observe the details of the human body very carefully, whenever the opportunity arises."

"So you should be able to understand my good intentions."

"From now on, all you two need to do is open your eyes and pay attention in class. By judging the level of concentration between you two, I should be able to tell which one is Sun Xiaoman and which one is the lifelike doll."

"I believe you all know in your hearts that the real Sun Xiaoman was extremely disgusted and terrified of these things."

It must be said that Chu Jiang's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Sun Xiaoman and the others agreed with them, feeling that this was very likely to find the imposter.

After a moment's hesitation, the two girls opened their eyes at the same time, without any difference in timing.

There's no point of contention here; even if it happened ten thousand times, they would still choose to open their eyes.

Chu Jiang was pleased to see this. Although he didn't have any professional knowledge, the textbooks he found were not the kind that consisted entirely of text.

Instead, it's a textbook filled with brightly colored pictures; these are more like illustrated guides to human organs than textbooks.

Chapter 45 How could I possibly be a puppet?

The clear projected image, coupled with the lifelike pictures that Chu Jiang occasionally flipped through under the projector light, terrified Sun Xiaoman and the others, making them scream in terror!

But in order to find out the counterfeit goods, they dared not not look, so they could only force themselves and torture themselves, and their eyes turned red for a moment.

Soon, there was a knock on the door of room 401.

"Hello, is something wrong?"

The woman's voice coming from outside the door carried a hint of anxiety.

Chu Jiang was speechless. How could this rich girl have such a strong sense of justice? And this shabby hotel has terrible soundproofing.

Chu Jiang then paused the lesson, gesturing for Number One to speak; and pointed at Number Two, making a shushing gesture.

Sun Xiaoman and the others did as instructed with pained expressions.

Soon, Number One's voice rang out, "It's nothing, I was watching a horror movie in Mr. Chu's room. I'm so sorry to have disturbed you."

Fortunately, there weren't many guests at the hotel today, only guests in rooms 302, 303, and 304. And the mysterious person in room 304 rarely came out, otherwise someone might have called the police.

"Oh, is that so? Well, sorry, please continue."

After the unrelated personnel left, the human anatomy class continued.

This time, both Sun Xiaomans tried to keep their voices down, but they still couldn't help but shed tears.

Chu Jiang simply turned a blind eye and continued his strict teaching.

......

Half an hour passed quickly, and the projector was still playing.

But Sun Xiaoman and the others were almost numb to it, their faces still bearing dried tear stains.

It has to be said that this ghost was really troublesome, because it didn't reveal any flaws during this time.

Actually, while watching, both Number One and Number Two were secretly observing each other's expressions. But even they themselves despairingly realized that there really was nothing wrong with it.

Chu Jiang, however, showed no signs of discouragement, turning to the next book after finishing the previous one.

But as everyone was watching, suddenly, "whoosh!"—all the lights in the room went out, from the small desk lamps to the projector, plunging the entire 401 into darkness!

"Ah~!" Sun Xiaoman and the others screamed at the same time, rolling to either side of the bed and falling to the floor on either side.

Clearly, the sudden change led them to mistakenly believe that the lifelike doll was about to attack.

"Don't panic, it's just a power outage." Chu Jiang's voice was very calm.

"It could also be a circuit breaker trip. I just heard a click, maybe it's related to the projector. Come to think of it, this thing doesn't seem to draw much current."

With a puzzled expression, Chu Jiang turned on his phone's flashlight, walked to the hallway, and turned on the room's power switch.

Sure enough, the power came back on immediately after the push, and both the desk lamp and the projector started shining.

As for Number One and Number Two, they were bound by ropes and looked at each other across a bed, both with tearful expressions.

Chu Jiang walked over to Number Two without a care and helped her up.

Just when Number One thought that Chu Jiang would treat everyone equally and help her out as well, she was surprised to see him untying Number Two's rope.

Number Two was clearly a bit confused as well. "Does this mean that taking human anatomy classes is useless and we need to try a different approach?"

"Yes," Chu Jiang replied casually.

But after untying him, Chu Jiang pulled Number Two behind him and said without turning his head, "Go out, leave the rest to me."

Not only did Number One struggle to his feet from the bedside in disbelief, but Number Two also looked at Chu Jiang with astonished eyes from behind.

"This... I... How do you know I'm real? Although I am indeed real."

Number One was almost in tears, "I'm the real one! If you don't believe me, touch my hands, my face, I'm warm, I'm alive!"

Chu Jiang rubbed his temples. "Couldn't you have waited until I've resolved this before asking?"

"Never mind, it's simple. I arranged this power outage."

"I guessed from the beginning that the lifelike dolls wouldn't look at the anatomical data with excitement."

"It will most likely be like the real Sun Xiaoman, who dared not look at it, yet had no choice but to."

"So I orchestrated an [accident]."

"I think that only in the most unexpected situations can we discover some anomalies that we don't usually see."

"You can imagine that you are watching a movie that you are particularly obsessed with and love."

"But halfway through the movie, when it was really exciting, the power went out in the theater, and everything was gone."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang made an explosion gesture, "At this moment, I think whether it's a human or a ghost, there should be some reaction, more or less."

"Of course, if the ghost really doesn't show any difference from a human, then it's impressive and the plan has failed."

"But I still succeeded. Obviously, this ghost's instincts were very strong, something it couldn't control. It's like a newborn baby that doesn't understand anything but still knows it wants to drink milk."

"At the moment the power went out, I stared intently at both of your faces."

“I could still see clearly in the dark. At that moment, I noticed that Number One’s expression froze for a second, or rather, she paused for a moment. For that instant, she was expressionless.”

"As for Number Two, her expression was one of confusion and being caught off guard for a moment before turning into terror."

"So although your screams all happened at the same time, your expressions were not the same before you screamed."

"Based on this alone, I was able to tell who the real Sun Xiaoman was and who the fake Sun Xiaoman was."

After listening to Chu Jiang's analysis, Sun Xiaoman stood behind him, her eyes filled with admiration. This guy was too smart; his mind was too sharp!

Of course, Sun Xiaoman still didn't understand how Chu Jiang could precisely control the power outage time, or why he could see in the night with the naked eye.

But this did not diminish her excitement and joy at this moment, as well as her utter admiration for Chu Jiang.

As for number one, Sun Xiaoman, who entered room 401 early at nine o'clock, her face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

Large tears streamed down her face as she shook her head, muttering, "How could this be? How could this be? How could I be a fake?"

"I am Sun Xiaoman. I possess all my past memories and emotions. How could I possibly be a puppet? You must have made a mistake..."

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoman, who was standing behind Chu Jiang, fell silent for a moment.

Half of her joy was instantly extinguished; this monster seemed to genuinely believe she was Sun Xiaoman.

Chu Jiang simply looked at the other person calmly. If his guess was correct, what would happen next...?

Sure enough, Number One's body changed imperceptibly. Her human outline blurred for a moment, and then she transformed into a lifelike doll with human skin color.

There was no sadness or self-doubt in the doll's eyes, only a deathly stillness.

It was a ghost, and ghosts have no emotions, even though at this moment, traces of "Sun Xiaoman's" tears still lingered on its face...

Chapter 46 Blood Hand VS Puppet

Seeing the lifelike doll reveal its true form, Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, because he really wasn't 100% sure.

During the day, Chu Jiang kept thinking about how to break the deadlock, and ultimately concluded that there were only three paths:

1. The simple and direct method of elimination.

It's the same approach as that thug. It's not something that can be solved by simply cutting Sun Xiaoman's skin and seeing if she bleeds. The only way to find out the truth is to kill one of the Sun Xiaomans.
