I have a ghost diary

Moreover, it wasn't just Chu Jiang and his group of four; the entire Luoxi No. 7 Middle School was frozen in time at this moment!

The fallen leaves by the roadside froze in mid-air; the ripples in the pond solidified halfway through their spread; all the living people in the school, in different poses, were frozen in that instant.

At that moment, the sky gradually turned bluish-black, as if it were stained with patches of corpse spots.

The sounds of wails, cries for help, bells, chewing, eating, and swallowing filled my ears...

The air was thick with the stench of blood, the nauseating smell of corpses, and a musty, stale odor that had accumulated over many years...

My body felt an endless chill, as if some kind of foul and dark aura was seeping into my body.

In the eyes of all the survivors, they saw ghostly figures flashing past them. If someone happened to be in front of a ghostly figure, they would be passed right through it.

Those unfortunate souls who were passed through in this way instantly turned pale, their eyes went lifeless, their bodies quickly grew cold, and their hearts stopped beating.

They are dead, yet they remain frozen in the same position they were in at the moment of their death...

Immediately afterwards, regardless of distance, everyone saw a tall, thin ghostly figure. It resembled a withered human form, with its hands hanging down and its back hunched, and it was at least three meters tall.

This ghostly figure was incredibly solid, with even the outlines of ribs visible on its sides; it had no hair, no facial features, and only three black holes, two small and one large, in the locations of its eyes and mouth.

The black hole was incredibly deep, as if a single glance could suck in everyone's soul.

Every living person who saw this ghostly figure felt a fear welling up from the deepest recesses of their heart. They were like drowning people, sinking deeper and deeper into an ocean of terror...

The gauntlet seemed to be searching for something; it wandered leisurely through a still world, surveying its surroundings.

Chu Jiang felt utterly hopeless. Was he looking for that dark diary?

Otherwise, Chu Jiang couldn't figure out what this ghost, destined to kill everyone in the school today, was looking for.

"Ling Ling~Ling Ling~"

The eerie bell rang again, causing the Slender Ghost to turn its head to look.

The moment it turned its head, the world suddenly resumed its activity, and Chu Jiang and his companions stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Their eyes still held lingering fear. After glancing at each other, they struggled to their feet again.

The strange figures, sounds, and smells before my eyes all disappeared.

But the sky was completely dark; it was only a little past three o'clock, but it felt like the dead of night. Moreover, the chilling feeling in my body hadn't dissipated; in fact, it had become even more intense.

"Come with me, there's no time." Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and led them towards the library.

The accident that just happened didn't last long, but it shattered Chu Jiang's last shred of hope.

First of all, that thin, elongated ghost figure is very likely the real, most powerful "ghost" that he speculated about.

Secondly, Slender Man appears to possess the ability to manipulate time!

what does this mean?

You should know that time seemed to have restarted once before, and on that occasion, Chu Jiang thought that the Black Diary was helping him.

But now it seems that Slender Man could stop time in the entire school, freezing time at a certain moment.

This means that the previous time restart was very likely the work of Slender Man.

Moreover, it wasn't trying to save Chu Jiang; it simply sensed the presence of other powerful ghosts within its barrier.

So Slender Ghost tries to reset time, going back to the moment before the other ghosts appeared, and then eliminate them.

But Slender Man clearly failed; he could only reset time to the moment the Black Diary had already been opened.

Moreover, during this time restart process, only Chu Jiang, who possessed the diary, had the memories of the time restart before the time restart, while everyone else forgot that part of history that should not have existed.

This conclusion undoubtedly suggests that Chu Jiang and his team were fighting against an opponent they could hardly defeat...

Now Chu Jiang has only one last hope: to hide peacefully in the secret room in the library where he found the diary until dawn tomorrow.

He knew very well that, based on the patterns of the horror movies he had seen before, hiding in one place for a long time could very likely lead to death.

But running around everywhere will only make him die faster, so he has no choice...

Chapter Six: The Cursed Diary

"Where are we running to now?" Gao Yifei asked as he ran, already writing his suicide note on his phone.

Li Yan remained silent, and Chen Jie had already let go of Chu Jiang's hand.

At that moment, Chu Jiang was jogging, using his phone's flashlight to light his way. He pursed his lips, and before he could answer, he suddenly saw a group of people rushing towards him.

He was startled at first, then realized that the figure opposite him seemed to be startled as well, and for a moment both of them stopped in their tracks.

"Is it someone else from the school?" Li Yan asked nervously.

Soon, the people on the other side also realized what was happening. They cautiously moved forward, and when they saw that it was just a few students, they relaxed and continued heading towards the back gate of the school.

They were all students from the school, with a few teachers mixed in, and they brushed past Chu Jiang and his group with expressions of fear.

Of course, many of them had already realized something was wrong. If they could get out through the back door, why would Chu Jiang and the others have come back? But without seeing it with their own eyes, they remained unconvinced.

Just as the two sides were passing each other, some people in the large group slowed down.

Chu Jiang didn't want to pay them any attention, nor did he bother to remind them. These people knew very well that there was danger at the back door; they were just deceiving themselves. They had no other way out.

But to everyone's surprise, the students who had slowed down suddenly swarmed over and blocked Chu Jiang and his group.

Among the group of people in the lead was a student with a shaved head. He turned his school uniform inside out and deliberately dressed in a thuggish manner.

Chu Jiang recognized this guy; he was his classmate named Liu Shenglong. Not long ago, the school forced him to shave his head because he had grown his hair long.

Strangely, among this group, only Liu Shenglong was from Class 2 of Senior Three; the others were unfamiliar students from other classes.

"What do you want?!" The tall and imposing Gao Yifei stepped forward menacingly.

However, since there were many people on the other side, they were not intimidated by Gao Yifei. Liu Shenglong and a few of his close friends stepped forward.

The man surnamed Liu stared intently at Chu Jiang. "Don't be in such a hurry. We've been classmates. I just want to ask you something: is it impossible to get through the back door now?"

Chu Jiang was also staring intently at the other person. The two had basically never interacted in class before, and there was no real grudge between them, but at this moment the other person was clearly up to no good.

"We can't get through! Why are you blocking our way? Get out of our way!" Li Yan said angrily. One of them had already died, and they didn't have time to deal with these school thugs.

“Okay, hand over that thing first.” Liu Shenglong reached out to Chu Jiang.

"Don't play dumb. I saw it before. You were making a lot of small movements in the classroom, like you were reading a book. That's when you probably realized the school was haunted, right?"

"You knew perfectly well that it was going to be haunted, yet you still had the mind to pack your books and bag before leaving. Wasn't that just adding unnecessary burden? And there's something strange that you didn't even notice, but when you put the books into your bag, a drop of blood fell onto the floor."

"What the hell is that book? Show it to us, or we'll have to take action."

Chu Jiang frowned deeply. He hadn't really noticed this when he left in such a hurry.

"You shameless Liu Shenglong, if Chu Jiang hadn't reminded you, could you have run out of the classroom and out of the teaching building so quickly? Now you're actually trying to steal his things."

Chen Jie was also a little angry at this moment. When she fell earlier, her knee was scraped, but she didn't say a word. She was very strong.

"Attack together!" Liu Shenglong was very annoyed. He didn't have time and was in no mood for nonsense.

Chu Jiang clenched his fists tightly. The reason he didn't speak was that he was waiting for the other side to make a mistake so that he could break through.

But I don't know what happened to Liu Shenglong. Did he unleash his potential at the critical moment? I never imagined he would be such a difficult character to deal with.

Liu Shenglong not only didn't waste any words, but also had more than a dozen students surround him.

Left with no other option, Chu Jiang had to call on those around him to charge together, hoping to break through the encirclement.

However, the difference in numbers was obvious. The other side had fifteen or sixteen people, and even had time to send out a few female students to capture Chen Jie.

Even though Gao Yifei fought two against one, and Chu Jiang and Li Yan each punched and knocked down one of the male students, they were still quickly pinned to the ground.

Liu Shenglong didn't have time to mock Chu Jiang and the others; he just hurriedly searched Chu Jiang's schoolbag and found the black diary.

When he took out the diary, there was still a lot of blood flowing from the cover, dripping onto Chu Jiang's schoolbag and staining a large area red.

Liu Shenglong felt nauseous, and the people around him were also somewhat frightened.

How could this guy carry such an eerie thing on him? Some even suspected that the ghost was released by Chu Jiang. Suddenly, everyone's gaze towards him became somewhat hostile.

"How do I use this?" Liu Shenglong asked cautiously, wiping a little blood off the cover with his index finger. He wanted to see if it was artificial blood plasma commonly used in haunted houses or real blood.

However, to everyone's surprise, including Chu Jiang's, Liu Shenglong only touched him slightly, and his face quickly turned pale and his eyes lost their luster.

With a "thud," Liu Shenglong's body fell to the ground; he was dead.

"Ah!" A chorus of screams erupted from the surrounding area, and even some men joined the girls in shouting.

In an instant, everyone left Chu Jiang and his companions, because Liu Shenglong's body lay right next to Chu Jiang, and the diary had just fallen in front of him.

"Ghost, ghost!"

"That diary is haunted! Run!"

Within seconds, the students who had surrounded Chu Jiang and his group scattered like birds and beasts, with some fleeing to the back door and others escaping in other directions.

Not to mention them, even Li Yan and the others looked at the diary in horror. When they first saw it, they never expected it to be so terrifying.

It died from just one touch. What kind of monster is this?

Chu Jiang calmly stood up. He reached out and touched Liu Shenglong's neck. There was no pulse; the guy was indeed dead.

Then Chu Jiang picked up the diary without saying a word, carefully avoiding the blood that kept flowing from the cover.

The bloody handprint on the diary became even more glaring at this moment; it was coming to life, gradually coming to life...

Chu Jiang is now extremely grateful that he only touched the blood on the few lines of text in the diary and not the blood on the cover; otherwise, his fate would have been the same as Liu Shenglong's.

This also reveals that the blood used to write the diary did not come from the cover.

That could be Chu Jiang's own blood...

But Chu Jiang is not injured. At most, he was punched and has some bruises on his face.

If the words in this diary were truly written in his blood, then it foreshadows that Chu Jiang is likely to encounter trouble soon...

Chapter Seven: The Ghost in the Library

Shaking his head to shake off those bad thoughts, Chu Jiang didn't put the diary back in his bag. He just held it carefully in his hand and told the others to keep running.
