I have a ghost diary

This night was clearly another hellish ordeal.

Because he used too much of the Blood Hand Ghost's power in one go, Chu Jiang didn't even fall asleep for a minute.

Chapter 51 No Ghosts in My Eyes

In the early morning, Chu Jiang, who was lying in bed panting, struggled to sit up and tidied up the blood that was everywhere in the room and the blood that had splattered on the ceiling.

We can't delay any longer. We need to find a way to resolve the hidden dangers within ourselves as soon as possible, even if it's just a temporary fix.

Fortunately, the matter at the Linjiang Hotel has been resolved. We can't stay in Luozhou City anymore. We need to find a safer city and then see if we should join Research Institute No. 21.

Before coming here, Chu Jiang thought that it would be easier to run into people from the paranormal community here, and perhaps find other ways to resolve the hidden dangers.

But now, the other ghost masters have only encountered the local person in charge; moreover, Chu Jiang has also learned about the Ghost Diary and the curse placed on him.

In this way, the longer he stays in this place, the more dangerous it becomes. Perhaps even if he doesn't go looking for the ghosts in those several paranormal events, those ghosts will come looking for him on their own.

Thinking about it now, none of the ghost peeking out, ghost chess game, or ghost crying have solved the problem. I should go to a relatively safe place and think of another solution.

Of course, before leaving, Chu Jiang felt that if he could get rid of the ghost peeking out, it would be a relatively good option; otherwise, leaving it would always be a hidden danger.

But if you're asking Chu Jiang to hitchhike and search the whole city for ghost peekers, then forget it.

After packing his luggage, Chu Jiang prepared to go downstairs to check out.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie called at that moment.

In the past two days, other members of the Senior Three (2) class group have been chatting more or less, and everything seems normal.

As for the matter that Chu Jiang asked Chen Jie to inquire about, she had already discussed it with Chu Jiang in a private chat.

According to Chen Jie, Zhang Haoran's mental state seems to have returned to normal. However, he doesn't speak, not uttering a single word, as if he has become mute.

However, the other students were certain that Zhang Haoran was absolutely clear-headed and rational.

Chu Jiang also asked Gao Yifei about the broken hand. According to Gao Yifei, when Zhang Haoran visited him that day, he talked to him in a rambling and fragmented way, and kept comforting him.

Following Chu Jiang's instructions, Gao Yifei comforted Zhang Haoran.

The next day, Zhang Haoran seemed much more awake.

Immediately afterwards, Li Bu Huo and Xu Bing, the two responsible persons, arrived at the hospital and spoke separately with Gao Yi Fei and Zhang Hao Ran.

Gao Yifei was mentally prepared, and he handled the situation with ease and everything was normal.

But for some reason, Zhang Haoran didn't say a word after the two left.

......

When Chu Jiang heard Chen Jie call early in the morning, he guessed it was related to Zhang Haoran, so he immediately picked up his phone to answer.

"Hey, Chu Jiang, Zhang Haoran is gone! He was taken away by those people." Chen Jie's voice sounded very tense.

Chu Jiang frowned. "What happened? Tell me slowly."

"Well, last time you asked me to ask Zhang Haoran what exactly happened at school, right?"

"But he didn't say a word at the time, so I had to give up."

“Then this morning, before dawn, police officers suddenly came to my house. They said Zhang Haoran wanted to see me and asked me to come over.”

"At the time, I thought something had happened to Zhang Haoran, that he was about to die, so I nervously got into the police car and rushed to the hospital with them."

"Unexpectedly, Zhang Haoran is perfectly fine."

"But I saw a lot of people in the hospital: some in black suits, like killers; some in white coats and glasses, looking like researchers; and some fully armed soldiers."

"I don't know why there are so many people surrounding the hospital, and Zhang Haoran seems to be surrounded by them."

"I don't understand either. Are they trying to protect Zhang Haoran, or are they keeping an eye on him to prevent him from causing any major trouble at the city hospital?"

"At the time, Zhang Haoran was in a private hospital room. He was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for me, and his expression was very calm."

I asked him what had happened.

"But he shook his head and didn't say anything. He only answered the question I had asked him before: What exactly happened at school?"

"After a detailed description, he asked me to do something."

"His exact words were: 'Next, I might be sent to a very special place where they will study the secrets within me.'"

"Although they promised me they wouldn't hurt me and offered me all sorts of benefits, I don't trust them."

“After this incident, the only people I can trust, besides my family, are you students from Class 2 of Senior Three.”

"If possible, I would really like to talk to Chu Jiang. He should be able to understand what happened to me."

"But now there is no such opportunity; they do not allow me to communicate with the outside world on my own."

"So I can only call you here, explain a few things, and then I will leave the city with them."

"Tell Chu Jiang everything I've said."

"Finally, I want to tell him that I am very grateful to him. If he hadn't pulled me back from the edge of the cliff, I would have fallen into the abyss and been smashed to pieces."

"That's right, let Chu Jiang live, he must live!"

"I don't have many friends left, and every one that dies is one less." These were the words he said to me. Now I'm returning these words to him, hoping that we'll meet again someday.

After Chen Jie finished speaking, Chu Jiang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Was he taken away by the people from Research Institute No. 21? What secrets does Zhang Haoran hold that would warrant such a large-scale operation by the research institute?

Those people must be from the research institute, there's no doubt about it, otherwise the police wouldn't be cooperating with their work.

Seeing that Chu Jiang didn't speak, Chen Jie organized his thoughts and recounted Zhang Haoran's experiences at school.

According to Zhang Haoran's own account, he never saw ghosts while at school; he only saw corpses that moved on their own.

Moreover, after a period of time, those corpses will disappear.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran did not believe in ghost stories from the beginning. He thought it was a conspiracy by a mad scientist, such as a zombie outbreak or an invisible killing machine.

Such remarks naturally made other classmates look at him as if he were crazy.

However, everyone soon discovered that although Zhang Haoran could not see ghosts, he could not be harmed by them either. He could even take a knife and go up to kill the corpses that had not yet turned into ghosts.

So everyone placed their hopes for escape on Zhang Haoran, and Teacher Yu and the vice class monitor in the team kept encouraging him.

Despite the immense psychological pressure, Zhang Haoran bravely took on the responsibility and paved the way for everyone.

On the way, they also reunited with many other classmates who had gotten separated.

Then Zhang Haoran suggested that everyone retreat to the library to hide; Chu Jiang was also there at that time, and the result was naturally... very bad.

Teacher Yu and the vice class monitor both died in that place.

Chapter Fifty-Two: A Call for Help

Later, Zhang Haoran and Chu Jiang split into two teams.

At this point, Zhang Haoran was already on the verge of a mental breakdown. People around him were dying one after another, but he couldn't see the "ghosts" that everyone was talking about.

As for what happened next, there's not much to say. Everyone died, and they died horribly. Their corpses even started to stand up and move on their own.

In the end, even everyone's bodies disappeared, leaving only Zhang Haoran, covered in blood, wandering alone in the school...

Having gone through something like this, it's impossible to say Zhang Haoran was too weak. Anyone could go crazy. He, on whom everyone placed their hopes, survived, while everyone around him died.

Chu Jiang was also somewhat surprised after hearing Zhang Haoran's story.

Does this mean that if I don't see ghosts, there are no ghosts in the world? Is this a superpower or something?

No, no, no. Logically speaking, only the power of a ghost can defeat a ghost. Could it be that Zhang Haoran is hiding a ghost that even he doesn't know about?

This must be why the research institute wanted to take him away.

Although this is a seemingly useless ability at first glance, it can only be used for self-defense, and you can forget about attacking. It's even difficult to protect the people around you.

But this capability is very valuable for research; it remains to be seen whether the research institute can actually produce any results.

For example, if we could uncover the secrets of Zhang Haoran and promote his unique abilities worldwide, then ghosts would essentially be eradicated.

Since no one will be able to see or touch the ghosts at that time, what difference will it make whether the ghosts exist or not?

Of course, it's easier said than done; it'll probably be an epic challenge.

Chu Jiang put aside his thoughts for the moment, "You don't need to worry too much about Zhang Haoran. I roughly know who took him away."

"That's an organization that specializes in handling paranormal events. It's considered official, so they shouldn't harm Zhang Haoran."

"Well, what about you?" Chen Jie asked.

"Judging from Zhang Haoran's tone, he seems very worried about you?"

Chu Jiang paused for a moment. Zhang Haoran had already learned from the person in charge that he had become a Ghost Master.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry too much. Just like when people are sick, they take medicine and they get better. I'm on my way to find medicine."

After offering a few words of comfort, Chu Jiang hung up the phone.

If I really plan to join the research institute in the future, I'll see if I can find an opportunity to meet Zhang Haoran then.

......

As Chu Jiang opened the door to 303, he noticed that the guest in 304 had also opened his door, dragging a suitcase, and seemed to be checking out as well.

This is a middle-aged man with a haggard face and heavy dark circles under his eyes.

He muttered "I'm not sick," as if he hadn't seen Chu Jiang, and simply went downstairs on his own.

This was the first time Chu Jiang had seen the other person in person in several days.

After the middle-aged man disappeared, Chu Jiang shook his head. He had sensed a chilling power emanating from him, meaning this guy was likely also a ghost master...

Forget it, the two sides have no connection, and Chu Jiang won't be so idle as to cause trouble for himself.

When Chu Jiang came down to the first floor, the middle-aged man had already pushed open the glass door and left.

Sun Xiaoman yawned and looked at Chu Jiang, "What, are you leaving too?"
