I have a ghost diary

The nun's urging grew increasingly anxious; she practically wished she could pick up the axe herself and chop it down.

"Go ahead and do it! You coward, do you know what will happen if you let him go?"

"You will be hanged, you will be executed, and all the righteous things you have done will be brought to light. But they will not praise you, they will only hate you, insult you, and deny everything you have done!"

Is this what you wanted to see?

The priest's expression shifted, but in the end, he slowly lowered his hand...

The priest turned to the nun. "What are you? Tell me, what are you?"

There was a sense of confusion in his voice.

"At first I thought you were the devil, someone from hell who came to tempt me into depravity."

"Because only I can see you, no one else can see you or even hear what you say."

"But later, I gradually realized that something was wrong. You were always there for me when I was being executed, encouraging me to keep going."

"Whenever I have doubts or hesitations, you appear immediately and guide me to choose the right path to follow."

"What exactly are you? Are you a demon from elsewhere? Or the hatred that I can never vent in my heart...?"

The nun, who was so beautiful she seemed inhuman, suddenly froze at that moment.

Then she smiled and instantly transformed into a priest, both in attire and appearance.

“I am you, don’t you know that?” His voice was deep.

"The first person you killed back then wasn't the real killer of your parents at all; you just wishfully thought he was, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to find a target for revenge."

"I am merely an assistant created to please you."

The fake priest's smile was exaggerated. "You want evidence? I'll give you evidence. It's just something made up anyway. You can have any evidence you want."

"Now you know the truth, but can you turn back? Turning back means death. After you die, even your God will despise you. You can only go to hell, and you only deserve to go to hell!!"

The fake priest's voice was somewhat hysterical, even frantic.

But the priest, who was riding on the mute man's back, still did not make a move.

On the contrary, the priest threw away the axe in his hand and gave up control of the mute man, allowing the somewhat unbelievable mute man to stand up.

The priest ignored the fake priest and simply made a cross gesture to the mute man, saying, "Go, I'll wait for you here. Go and explain everything."

“I forgive you on behalf of the Lord, and you can speak for the rest of your life.”

"Are you crazy?!" The fake priest looked at him incredulously.

But the priest didn't respond; he just watched the mute man stagger away, his figure receding into the distance...

Before dawn, the priest knelt on the ground, facing the church, like the most devout saint.

At the same time, solemn background music began to play—the Requiem: "Requiem aeternam (Lord, grant them eternal rest)..."

The fake priest's figure slowly disappeared into the song.

Meanwhile, red curtains slowly descended from both sides of the church until they completely concealed the church and the priest...

---------------------------

When the final scene unfolded, Chu Jiang and Lin Qian did not interfere; they simply hid inside the church door, peeking through only a crack.

Lin Qian was initially intoxicated by the ending atmosphere he had created, but then he began to realize something was wrong. Would the two of them be trapped in this drama forever?

Before he could even ask a question, Lin Qian stumbled and fell to the ground.

The door panel in front of him was gone, and it was pitch black all around, which startled him so much that he screamed.

"Don't panic, I'm back." Chu Jiang's voice rang out steadily and powerfully.

Back in the drama club? Lin Qian finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Turn on your flashlight to your left, look down, don't look around, and then leave the room."

Lin Qian became a little nervous upon hearing this. "Don't look around," he meant... "Is that ghost still there?"

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me, go ahead, and close the door behind you."

Lin Qian agreed. He didn't stay and hinder the professionals; instead, he carefully used his flashlight to illuminate the path, left the activity room, and closed the door behind him...

To be honest, Chu Jiang thought Lin Qian's script was pretty good. The biggest twist was that the nun never existed in the first place.

If Chu Jiang hadn't read the script, and he had just been an outsider, he wouldn't have been able to guess it so early.

It was precisely because he had read the script that Chu Jiang had told Lin Qian not to look at it carelessly.

The nun is merely a malevolent thought of the priest in the play. If outsiders could see it, it would elevate a drama set in a "world without magic" to an undue level.

At that point, even demons and gods might appear; what a disaster that would be!

Fortunately, it was all over, but Chu Jiang was still very surprised when he saw the ghost's true form.

Because Lin Qian's script is Western in style, Chu Jiang suspects that it might be a ghost from the West, and its appearance should also have the characteristics of a Western country.

But to his surprise, it turned out to be a female ghost in red dressed in traditional opera costume. Judging from her attire, she should be a young lady in a boudoir or a young lady in a dress; this is a category in Chaozhou opera, which is different from that in Peking opera.

The female ghost stood in the center of the drama club like a homeless, wandering soul. Her face was pale, and she looked around, seemingly unable to find the audience below the stage.

As for Chu Jiang and Lin Qian, they each played their own roles, so they naturally don't count as audience members.

Seeing that the female ghost didn't immediately attack the living, Chu Jiang took out his satellite phone. "Chen Yuting, you should have listened to the whole stage play, right? How about giving us a round of applause?"

Chen Yuting, the operator at headquarters, paused for a moment, then immediately clapped, "Great! Well done! Although I couldn't see it in person, the hard work of all the actors, especially their profound command of dialogue, made me feel as if I had watched the whole show."

Although the headquarters' switchboard room is divided into individual cubicles with good sound insulation, the partitions are transparent.

Therefore, when her colleagues first saw Chen Yuting clapping, they felt a pang of sympathy. Had some manager made another unreasonable demand? This job pays well, but it's incredibly tiring; you have to deal with a group of mentally unstable people every day.

Hearing the applause coming from the phone speaker, the red-clad female ghost expressionlessly raised her water sleeves, placed her hands on her waist, and gently performed a curtsy.

Then it straightened up and floated slowly backward, as if it were leaving the drama club.

Chu Jiang naturally couldn't agree to this. He had finally managed to evade the other party's killing patterns and escape from the other party's ghost realm. It would be a waste of his efforts if he didn't seal it away.

This ghost, it seems, can act in any script, even foreign ones.

It seems we shouldn't call it a drama queen; "mini-theater" would be more fitting. And it seems this ghost can't be sealed away while it's in the theater.

Chapter Ninety-Three: A Fierce Battle

As long as the ghost's killing pattern is not triggered, then there will be absolutely no danger?

No, getting close to ghosts is dangerous in itself.

First, ghosts naturally exude a cold, deathly energy. The more powerful the ghost, the more terrifying the energy it emits, and this energy can easily cause death.

Secondly, ghosts don't just kill when their killing patterns are triggered; the closer you get, the more likely you are to be attacked. If you have direct physical contact with it, there is a very high probability that the ghost will kill you.

Therefore, Chu Jiang's act of chasing ghosts was quite risky, but he still wanted to do it.

Chu Jiang originally thought that if he clapped for the ghost, it might be moved to tears and then obediently listen to him from then on.

As it turns out, he was really overthinking it; a ghost is a ghost.

Having escaped the Ghost Realm of the Theater, Chu Jiang can now fully utilize his power. Without hesitation, he superimposed the power of the Imitation Ghost through the Ghost Diary, making Blood Hand even stronger.

Then Chu Jiang pressed his right hand to the ground, and instantly countless drops of blood gushed out!

They sealed off the entire activity room with incredible speed, and the floor, walls, doors, and ceiling were covered in a layer of bright red blood.

Having blocked the female ghost's escape route, Chu Jiang cautiously stepped forward.

Even so, the female ghost did not attack Chu Jiang directly. She leaned against the wall, paused for a moment, and then stretched out her right hand.

But before its hand could break through the blood seal, Chu Jiang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed its right hand!

It was terribly cold to the touch, the kind of cold that seeps into your very bones.

"Ah~!"

Before Chu Jiang could recover from the cold touch, he screamed and almost collapsed to his knees.

He was too reckless, or rather, too young.

Not all ghosts are safe to handle. Just because it's okay to touch a ghost that imitates another ghost or a ghost peeking out doesn't mean it's okay to touch a mini-drama.

Besides, it wasn't entirely unscathed back then. Whether it was the imitation ghost's immobilization or the ghost's corrosive attack, both had some impact on Chu Jiang. It was just that the Blood Hand Ghost's power held up at the time.

A safer approach is to avoid trying to take advantage of Bloody's characteristics by immediately overwhelming it and instead engage in a direct fight first.

Even if we don't want to render the opponent incapable of resistance in a short period of time, we should at least weaken some of their strength before personally using Blood Hand to suppress them.

The attack Chu Jiang was suffering at this moment was not physical, but mental.

In an instant, countless fragmented personalities and memories flooded his mind; these were not real, but rather the experiences of characters in a script.

These characters are not complete people; even the longest script cannot describe every moment of a character's life in detail.

Fortunately, that was the case; otherwise, Chu Jiang might have had his head crushed by countless personalities and memories, causing his consciousness to be annihilated in the conflict.

While Chu Jiang was in extreme pain, the Blood Hand Ghost within him was also stimulated by a supernatural attack and became highly active.

At this moment, Chu Jiang had no time to care about the physical pain. He used the power of the Blood Hand without any restraint, and blood kept gushing out in an attempt to suppress his opponent.

He can't let go now; if he lets the opponent attack further, Chu Jiang might die even faster. Only by completely suppressing the female ghost's power can his mental state continue to improve.

As the Blood Hand Ghost became increasingly active, Chu Jiang's body was not only being eroded by the ghost's power, but also by his right hand and eyes.

However, at the same time, Chu Jiang's Blood Hand power also became even stronger.

The blood completely covered the red-clad female ghost in her theatrical costume, not only halting her movements but also continuously expelling Chu Jiang's mental personality and memories.

These things cannot be left behind casually. If they are implanted into Chu Jiang's subconscious, they could easily cause Chu Jiang to suffer a mental breakdown, becoming someone he doesn't recognize and mistakenly believing he is another person.

Although Chu Jiang gradually gained the upper hand, the ghost in the [Mini Theater] had not completely lost its ability to resist. Its ghost domain seemed to be unusable at will, or rather, it required certain conditions to be activated.

Otherwise, if Lin Qian's script were repeated now, the female ghost could easily break free from Chu Jiang's control.

Despite this, it was still terrifying. When Chu Jiang grabbed one of its hands, it used its other hand to strangle Chu Jiang's neck.
