I have a ghost diary

Chu Jiang shook his head and said in an incredulous tone, "Have you noticed any changes in yourself?"

Xu Yanting was stunned for a moment, then he found that he seemed to feel much more relaxed. The cold, oppressive feeling seemed to have disappeared without him noticing.

Xu Yanting turned his head and saw that there was nothing behind him; it was completely clean.

This overjoyed him, and he couldn't help but stand up. "It's gone?! That weird thing just left on its own?!"

Chu Jiang forced a smile. "It seems so."

This unexpected turn of events was truly beyond Xu Yanting's expectations. One second they were discussing where they would go after death, and the next they were reborn. His heart was pounding, and he felt as if he had become ten years younger!

"That's great, that's great, may our ancestors bless us, may our ancestors bless us."

Xu Yanting's face turned rosy. If his hands hadn't been tied behind his back, he probably would have knelt down, clasped his hands together, and bowed several times in the direction of his ancestors' graves.

Of course, after his initial joy, Xu Yanting did not forget Chu Jiang.

But when he looked in Chu Jiang's direction, he could still see a vaguely outlined corpse lying behind Chu Jiang.

This made Xu Yanting calm down. "Mr. Chu, what's going on? Why am I suddenly saved, but you're still being haunted by a ghost? Could it be that the ghost has completely moved to your side?"

Xu Yanting wondered if the ghost had originally divided its power to deal with Chu Jiang, but now it had moved all its power there to kill Chu Jiang in one fell swoop, which made him somewhat worried.

"It's alright, I can handle it." Chu Jiang didn't offer any explanation, as if he were tacitly agreeing with Xu Yanting's guess.

“Alright, sir, you should be fine now. I’ll take you away from here, and then you should get away from this villa immediately.”

"But don't go to the city center, and don't call your family to pick you up yet, since we don't know if you have any hidden health problems."

"You can rest by the Luo River for a while. I'll come to the river to pick you up after I get rid of this weird thing on me."

Xu Yanting looked at Chu Jiang with concern, but he still nodded.

Because he knew very well that he was of no use here and could only be a burden to the other party.

As for going to the river first, Xu Yanting had no objection. He was also afraid that the ghost would suddenly reappear and possess his son and granddaughter.

If that's the case, he might as well jump into the river and die, end it all, and stop harming his descendants.

And so, Chu Jiang freed Xu Yanting from the ghost realm, and he was back in that room in the villa.

Xu Yanting was decisive; he only took his phone and left the room without taking anything else.

......

After watching Xu Yanting leave, Chu Jiang couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead; this whole thing was too bizarre.

Was Xu Yanting really that lucky? Did the curse suddenly disappear on its own?

No, in Chu Jiang's view, this curse may have been replaced by an even stronger one.

Or perhaps, Xu Yanting is no longer human; he has been corrupted. The curse of being pressed down by a ghost will not affect a dead person, so it naturally dissipates.

All of this must be related to that sentence; it all happened after Xu Yanting said those words.

But what exactly is going on? The sleep paralysis incident hasn't been resolved yet, and suddenly something even more terrifying has appeared.

Could this be a small theater? Is this ghost not as simple as Chu Jiang imagined?

But this doesn't make sense. If the mini-theater is so perverted, how could it be sealed by Chu Jiang, and how could it be eaten by the Ghost Diary?

Not to mention that the mini-theater is already inside Ghost Diary, how could it bypass this level-zero seal and affect the outside world?

It's unlikely. The only explanation is that the small theater itself was also corrupted, or rather, the priest character in the script was corrupted.

If that's the case, then it means there exists a supernatural source. The power flowing from this source can corrupt not only the living, but also ghosts...

The thought alone is enough to send shivers down your spine. What kind of terrifying ghost could possibly corrupt other ghosts as well...?

After seeing Xu Yanting off, Chu Jiang immediately began to examine himself, even ignoring the fact that he was experiencing sleep paralysis.

He first examined his mental state and confirmed that he was not obsessed with the word "heaven".

Secondly, Chu Jiang had a physical examination, and everything was normal.

Being corrupted by ghosts is the norm for me, and there's no sign of improvement. In fact, because the ghost realm has been open for so long, I can faintly hear the sound of opera singing in the distance.

Finally, and most importantly, the sleep paralysis was still there, and the oppressive feeling was gradually increasing, trying to completely break him down...

This is truly unfortunate good news: Chu Jiang hasn't been corrupted yet, but he's about to be killed by this curse of being pressed down by a ghost.

Chapter 122 White Tiger's Fury

Having exhausted all the methods he had learned, Chu Jiang seemed to have reached a dead end.

Life is already on a countdown, with the curse of sleep paralysis on one side and an alternative revival in a small theater on the other.

If this drags on any longer, it will only benefit Ghost Diary.

Just then, Chen Yuting called, saying that she could send someone from a nearby city to help, but none of those people had the ability to deal with the special curse.

Furthermore, the research institute's database contains no information about the ghost causing the sleep paralysis. They can only deduce from similar cases that this type of curse, which is capable of replication and is contagious, is extremely dangerous.

If Chu Jiang goes back to headquarters, someone should be able to solve the problem.

Alternatively, if someone from headquarters brings a special sealing artifact to Luohe City, it should be able to help Chu Jiang suppress the curse, but can he hold out until then?

Chu Jiang shook his head; distant water can't quench a nearby fire.

Although that's what he thought, he asked Chen Yuting to send someone over with the sealing artifact as soon as possible, then hung up the phone and began his final attempt.

If this attempt still fails, then Chu Jiang has one last resort.

His willingness to risk his life to stay and save Xu Yanting was also related to this ultimate method. He was confident that he could survive using this method.

"To protect oneself, one must stay away from the White Tiger?"

Looking at the words on both sides of the jade pendant, Chu Jiang shook his head again, "If you can't serve my purpose today, then don't bother trying to protect yourself, just break it."

Holding the jade pendant in his left hand, Chu Jiang stared at it for a while, but it remained motionless. So he made it float in the air, then slashed it with his sword, forcibly shattering it!

As the jade pendant shattered, a beam of white light shot out! At the same time, a tiger's roar resounded, chilling the soul.

Before Chu Jiang could react, he saw a phantom white tiger with a white body and black markings pounce towards him!

His instinctive reaction was to slash back with his sword, the blade still stained with the blood of the Blood Hand Ghost.

But then something else happened that made Chu Jiang want to curse: the white tiger passed straight through the blade and still pounced on him.

As soon as the white tiger possessed him, Chu Jiang, who was about to resist, suddenly stopped.

He discovered that the white tiger vanished as soon as it pounced. Even more strangely, the heavy, oppressive feeling that had been emanating from behind him had also disappeared.

But Chu Jiang could clearly "see" that the curse of being pressed down by a ghost was still there, and the corpse was still clinging tightly to his back.

Puzzled, Chu Jiang used his Ghostly Eyes to pierce through the curse and even through his own blood-red robes, and then he witnessed an unbelievable scene:

He now has a lifelike white tiger tattoo on his back. This white tiger is coiled around his entire upper body, giving him a majestic and imposing look, as well as a cold and eerie feeling.

This made Chu Jiang smile wryly, "What is this? Another curse?"

Yes, judging from this, the sleep paralysis curse hasn't disappeared.

So why did Chu Jiang relax? It's unlikely that the White Tiger was helping him; the jade pendant even said, "Don't get close to the White Tiger."

It must have been the White Tiger that possessed him, and its position was exactly on Chu Jiang's back.

Then, the ghost pressed down on this very spot, which led to the ghost ultimately pressing down on the White Tiger; the White Tiger's curse, in turn, indirectly helped Chu Jiang avert disaster.

Yes, Chu Jiang believes this should be a new curse, which was originally sealed in the jade pendant by the ancestors of the Xu family.

In this way, the curse will not harm the Xu family descendants. On the contrary, wearing the amulet can also help resist other external supernatural invasions.

However, when the words "Do Not Approach the White Tiger" appeared on the back of the jade pendant, this ability to counteract the tiger inexplicably failed.

Chu Jiang wanted to use the jade pendant but couldn't, so in desperation he chopped it up. This caused the White Tiger Curse to attack him, using him as a new vessel.

In any case, Chu Jiang felt that this was not entirely a good thing; it was a mixed blessing.

Because of the White Tiger curse, it should also bring some kind of negative impact, but I don't know what it is yet.

Since the threat of being paralyzed by ghosts had temporarily disappeared, Chu Jiang naturally put away the Ghost Domain in the theater immediately.

The Ghost Domain has been open for so long, but the little theater still hasn't crawled out of the Ghost Diary. However, Chu Jiang's clothes have gradually begun to transform into theatrical costumes, his hair has grown quite long, and his mind is filled with the sounds of opera singing.

This is a sign of being eroded by small theaters.

After the ghost realm was dispelled and the source of the supernatural force was cut off, Chu Jiang's condition gradually improved.

This made Chu Jiang sigh, wishing that the Blood Hand Ghost wasn't inside his body and instead stayed in the Ghost Diary, so that its corrosive effects on him wouldn't be so severe.

But there's no "what if." If the Blood Hand Ghost hadn't entered Chu Jiang's body, Chu Jiang would have died long ago, and there wouldn't be any future for him.

Chu Jiang glanced back; the sleep paralysis had become very blurry again, and no one else should be able to see it. Otherwise, if Chu Jiang carried a corpse everywhere he went, who knows how many people he would scare and call the police.

Although there was no immediate danger to his life, Chu Jiang did not stop the people from headquarters from rushing over. He did not know what the sealed artifact Chen Yuting mentioned was, but he hoped that it could remove both the sleep paralysis and the White Tiger curse in one fell swoop, which would be perfect.

If all else fails, Chu Jiang might have to take some time to go back to headquarters. Speaking of which, he only got the curse on official business, so asking for help shouldn't be a charge, right?

Putting that aside, if the jade pendant couldn't help Chu Jiang, he planned to immediately set off and return to Luohe City.

He was going to a place, and that's right, the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall!

Although Chu Jiang had only been inside once and found the place unfathomable, he had still managed to figure out some of the tricks of the trade.

The ancestral hall possesses a certain power that can suppress vengeful spirits. Even the Blood Hand Ghost within him pretended to be dead and did not attempt to revive after entering.

In this way, if Chu Jiang enters with the ghost curse, the power of the ancestral hall will likely suppress the curse. Although the curse will not be eliminated after it is suppressed, he will not die for the time being.

Of course, precisely because the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall was a very complicated place, and the previous person in charge, Wang Lei, died under mysterious circumstances, Chu Jiang was quite wary of going there and could only use it as a last resort.

He can't just rush into that every time something happens; what if he wakes up the old man? So he should be careful.

After rechecking his own condition and confirming that the effects of the White Tiger Curse had not yet manifested, Chu Jiang left the villa and headed towards the Luo River.

The matter concerning Xu Yanting is clearly not completely resolved yet...

Chapter 123 The Grudge Videotape

Neither Chu Jiang nor Xu Yanting removed the curse through normal methods; each of them carried hidden dangers within themselves.
