I have a ghost diary

Only by defeating the opponent to the point of incapacitating them for a short period of time, or by using any other method to render the ghost immobile for a short time, can they imprison the ghost in a sealing artifact and seal it away.

Chu Jiang's situation was much simpler. The formal confrontation was brief, and he quickly used the Blood Hand Ghost's special abilities to completely suppress a C-level vengeful ghost.

Finally, the killer's pattern of imitating ghosts may seem complicated, but it can be summarized in one sentence: kill everyone who discovers that it is an imposter.

The rest is mostly Chu Jiang's summary of the ghost's behavioral patterns.

Not all ghosts are like the ghost peeking out; some kill in two stages: first, they force the car to stop, and then they choose their target from among the survivors.

The room fell completely silent. Looking at the pottery jar in his hand, Chu Jiang fell into deep thought.

Chapter 48 Level Zero Sealed Artifact

First, experiments have shown that humans and ghosts are indeed unable to communicate; at least, this is the case for all the ghosts Chu Jiang has encountered.

Although Number One and Chu Jiang had a good conversation before, that was just a cloned personality.

In other words, Chu Jiang is having a dialogue with Sun Xiaoman's personality, not with a ghost imitating her.

Furthermore, when Chu Jiang previously attempted to awaken Number One's will, the Imitation Ghost showed no reaction. This suggests that the personality had most likely been obliterated by the puppet.

Chu Jiang could only sigh at this. For the Imitation Ghost, there was no question of whether it was wasteful or not. If it wanted to continue imitating Sun Xiaoman, it could just copy her again.

But it's too late now...

Next, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary from his backpack. Looking at the pure black cover of the diary in his hand, he hesitated. Should he give it a try?

Chu Jiang borrowed his life from the Ghost Diary, opened the cover, and saw the contents of the first page.

However, no matter what he did, he couldn't turn to the next page. Chu Jiang had some guesses about this: either he had to pay the lives of other living people to the diary, or he had to catch a ghost and have the diary eat it. These could be the price for turning the page.

Of course, all of this is speculation, and we need to conduct actual experiments to know the results.

If the Ghost Diary is truly a Level 0 sealed artifact, and it keeps devouring ghosts, won't it become increasingly uncontrollable? Perhaps it will even detach itself from the diary format and truly enter reality...?

Chu Jiang shook his head, deciding not to think about things too far in the future. As a dying man, he couldn't consider things that far ahead.

Having made up his mind, Chu Jiang picked up the pottery jar, carefully peeled off the amulet, and opened the jar.

Because the seal had only been closed recently, the blood that Chu Jiang had infiltrated into the Imitation Ghost's body had not yet been completely consumed, so the Imitation Ghost was still unable to move.

Chu Jiang took a deep breath and pulled out the doll that looked like a solid object but felt like an ethereal one.

He always felt that the ghost imitator was more like a ghost-like being who simply chose a doll as its appearance; perhaps it had possessed something similar in the past.

Chu Jiang opened the first page of the diary, prepared himself, and placed the doll on that page.

When the demon touched the diary, something incredible happened: the diary suddenly emitted a suffocating aura of death! It was as if a colossal sleeping creature had opened its mouth.

In an instant, the imitator vanished, and then the entire ghost diary began to flip through itself at an incredibly fast speed.

楚江眼睛都没眨一下，亲眼看着日记从第一页翻到最后一页，1、2、3、4......304，这本日记共有304页。

However, apart from the first page, the remaining pages are empty.

This confused Chu Jiang. What did this mean? What the hell? You're going to deny it after you've eaten it?

After finishing the whole book, Ghost Diary slammed shut again, and then the cover opened by itself.

However, by this time, the content of the first page had changed.

The original entry was a diary entry from September 17th, which briefly described how Chu Jiang and several classmates escaped from school.

Now all the blood-red text has disappeared, replaced by a painting.

To be precise, it's a portrait of a ghost, specifically the same ghost that was just eaten by the Ghost Diary.

Their skin tone, appearance, and even their slightly mismatched, delicate face were all perfectly identical.

Before Chu Jiang could even express his surprise, the first page automatically turned to the second page, which was also a diary entry:

[September 19th, Cloudy]

Today, while staying at the Linjiang Hotel, I listened to the supernatural events that happened around Sun Xiaoman.

I'm no longer the clueless newbie I was a few days ago, completely ignorant about ghosts. Using my intellect and the ghost within me, I successfully sealed the source of the incident.

However, I have a question... Why am I encountering ghost-related things so frequently in just a few days?

"Damn it!" Chu Jiang couldn't help but curse again. The diary had automatically opened for him!

You should know that Ghost Diaries can only predict events that haven't happened yet.

But it's already 11:50 pm, and there are less than ten minutes left before today is over, so this ability to predict the future is basically a free gift.

This was information about the future that Chu Jiang only saw after paying the price of a ghost.

Chu Jiang went to great lengths to seal this ghost, not to mention that it could be sold, making him rich overnight...

Is this all there is to it?

This wasn't exactly Chu Jiang's doing, because when he first got the Ghost Diary, it didn't open on its own. He had to open it himself after he made up his mind.

Unexpectedly, Ghost Diary had a hidden mechanism: apart from the cover page, every subsequent page was turned automatically, and it would turn immediately after a ghost was eaten.

Of course, this can teach Chu Jiang a lesson, and if he needs it in the future, he can keep the ghost in advance.

Then, as soon as midnight strikes, he immediately slips the ghost into the diary. That way, he can see what will happen that day.

But... is it really worth it? Chu Jiang couldn't help but have doubts.

The prophecy given in this diary is far too vague.

Leaving aside the previous content, let's just talk about today's content, which only has a general outline.

This means that even if Chu Jiang saw the relevant content in the early hours of last night, he still has to rely on himself today.

At most, it was a ghost diary; it reassured him that the matter could definitely be resolved...

Do not!

Chu Jiang recalled something: the future predicted in the diary was just a prediction and did not represent reality.

Because the real future can be changed. For example, Chu Jiang had previously altered his own death, to the point that the contents of his diary changed according to reality.

This made Chu Jiang slap the diary in exasperation, "That's it? A level zero sealed artifact like this? Are you really a level zero sealed artifact??"

Chu Jiang even picked up the ghost diary and shook it, hoping to see if he could shake out something.

The result, of course, was nothing.

So Chu Jiang covered his eyes with one hand and said, "I declare that you're just a braggart, at most a level two sealed artifact. No, you're not even level two."

Despite his initial outburst, Chu Jiang remained determined and picked up the Ghost Diary again.

He turned back to the first page, and carefully, first covering his right palm with blood, before trying to touch the ghost-like image on it.

Chu Jiang was stunned by the touch.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that he was affected by the ability to imitate ghosts, but rather that he sensed something special and wondrous.

About five minutes after touching the ghost image, Chu Jiang's body outline blurred for a moment, and then instantly turned into a man wearing a gray coat and sunglasses.

Chapter 49, 304

The man was tall, with a slightly hooked nose, and his features carried a hint of ferocity. He also had a scar on his left cheek, making him seem unapproachable.

This was none other than Fang Tianci, the local person in charge!

No, to be precise, it should be someone who looks exactly like Fang Tianci, even their clothes and appearance are the same.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Fang Tianci's face. His voice was completely different from Chu Jiang's, sounding somewhat hoarse. "So it has this effect? ​​Then I declare that you are indeed a level zero sealed artifact."

Moreover, it's a level zero seal item with terrifyingly strong effects.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy Chu Jiang became. If this ghost diary possessed such a monstrous ability, then the so-called ability to foresee the future was merely a dispensable bonus.

Since its effects are terrifyingly powerful, then according to the general rules of sealed artifacts, its negative effects will also be terrifying.

However, based on Chu Jiang's personal experience, he has only discovered one negative effect so far: he cannot enter a near-death state, otherwise the Ghost Diary will devour him before anyone else can do anything.

This is unreasonable, very unreasonable.

If it were just that half-baked prophecy, Chu Jiang thought it would be alright. But adding the ability to use the sealed ghost's power made it too outrageous.

Yes, this is a new feature that Chujiang just tested.

By simply placing his hand on the page depicting the ghost, he could temporarily borrow the ghost's abilities.

As for the specific limitations, he is currently testing them.

......

Twenty minutes later, Chu Jiang tentatively concluded:

1. The ghosts that were eaten by the Ghost Diary did not disappear, but were temporarily sealed away.

This means that Ghost Diary is a natural sealing tool, and it is definitely much stronger than the combination of amulets and pottery jars. It could probably keep a ghost locked up for hundreds of years without any problem.

2. The holder of the diary can temporarily borrow the power of the sealed demon by touching the page containing the demon.

Of course, it's impossible to borrow 100% of the power. According to Chu Jiang's experiment, it's only about 50% of the original ghost's ability.

The sample size is too small, so Chu Jiang can only get a rough idea. At least just now, he didn't simultaneously acquire Fang Tianci's memories and way of thinking.

3. It is not necessary to maintain a constant state of contact to use the ability. However, Chu Jiang must touch it at least once every ten minutes, otherwise the ability will automatically become ineffective.

4. The longer the ability is borrowed, the greater the chance of the ghost escaping. How long the borrowing will take before the mimic ghost escapes the diary is still unknown.

Finally, Chu Jiang vaguely realized that using the ghost's abilities would also put a burden on his body.

This is similar in principle to Chu Jiang borrowing the power of the Blood Hand Ghost.

However, normally, the Blood Hand Ghost resides in Chu Jiang's body, causing him even greater harm, and it happens all the time.

The imitation ghost resides in the ghost's diary, which would cause less harm to Chu Jiang; moreover, it would only be affected when borrowed, so the cost would be relatively small.

Despite its various limitations, this ghost diary is still quite terrifying.

Keep in mind, it has a whopping 304 pages!
