I have a ghost diary

The atmosphere inside the building was peaceful; everyone went to work as usual, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

The security guard standing at the entrance seemed quite curious to see a foreigner, and watched him go straight up to the elevator.

The foreign man went up to the top floor, the 37th floor. When he tried to enter the company's glass door, he found it closed, so he rang the doorbell.

Soon, Luo Yifeng, the assistant, walked curiously to the door. Who could be coming at this hour? The company's operator had just received a call from headquarters; it seemed something had happened.

However, as soon as Luo Yifeng approached the front desk and saw the foreign man outside the glass door, his expression changed slightly.

His expression quickly returned to normal, and he calmly walked over...

Just then, Chen Ke'er walked over from the finance office. She had heard the bell and was about to come and open the door, but she didn't expect that the boss's secretary had already come over.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ke'er intended to turn around and go back, but she was suddenly horrified to see a foreigner standing outside the door!

At the critical moment, Chen Ke'er was so frightened that she rolled over and hid behind the front desk.

It's that man in the photo! He's coming to kill me to silence me.

In that instant, Chen Ke'er felt like crying but had no tears left; her delusion had come true... Wait, Luo Yifeng went to open the door?! Should she remind him?

Before Chen Ke'er could speak, she heard Luo Yifeng's voice first, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Left with no other choice, Chen Ke'er crouched behind the front desk, peeking out with half her head sticking out.

Then, she wondered if she was dreaming?

Luo Yifeng stood inside the door without opening it, but the foreigner outside pressed the fingerprint lock, and the glass door opened on its own and he came in.

Even more incredibly, his height, hair color, build, and clothing blurred for a moment, and he instantly transformed into Chu Jiang's appearance!

As soon as Chu Jiang entered, he stared at Luo Yifeng with a cold gaze, "As expected, it has something to do with you."

My God! Under extreme tension, Chen Ke'er witnessed her boss's transformation and was completely dumbfounded.

"Come with me." Chu Jiang walked towards the office with his hands in his pockets. Luo Yifeng's expression was interesting, showing shock, surprise, fear, trepidation, and unease.

But he didn't run away; instead, he obediently followed the person in charge to the office.

Then both of them saw Chen Ke'er, but neither of them paid any attention to her, as if she were just a background figure.

......

Sitting down in his seat, Chu Jiang looked at Luo Yifeng with a cold expression. "I have no time to waste now. Honestly confess everything to me. Otherwise, I'll let you taste what it's like to wish you were dead."

Luo Yifeng took a deep breath. "I confess, but Wang Lei's death really has nothing to do with me."

Next, Luo Yifeng described what had happened to him.

It all started more than ten days ago when a few foreigners claiming to be conducting cultural research came to Luohe City.

Luo Yifeng did not know them; they contacted him privately first.

This group of foreigners claimed to be members of a folk exorcist organization from abroad, and said they had traveled a long way to this place to study local river god beliefs.

Now that they have completed their investigation, they are preparing to return home; but at the same time, they hope to recruit a member to be based locally.

Luo Yifeng was certainly not stupid. He didn't think he was valuable enough to warrant someone from a foreign power trying to recruit him into the organization.

He asked the other person very bluntly what their purpose was.

Seeing that Luo Yifeng wasn't so easily fooled, the group told the truth: they suspected that Wang Lei was no longer the original Wang Lei, but rather an entity corrupted by the River God.

During their research and investigation, the three-person team saw Wang Lei's stone statue in a mysterious area deep within the Luohe River.

The stone statue was covered in moss and was very mottled, as if it had been around for at least several hundred years.

They carefully took photos of the statue, intending to study them later.

However, upon arriving in Luohe City, they unexpectedly encountered Wang Lei, the local official in charge. The three foreigners were quite shocked, even thinking that they had angered the river god and that the river god was now coming to settle scores with them.

As it turned out, Wang Lei didn't seem to know the three of them at all; they simply brushed past each other across the crowd on the street.

After returning home, they racked their brains but could not come up with an answer; at the same time, they dared not approach Wang Lei directly, for fear that Wang Lei would kill them.

Besides, their tourist visas are about to expire, and they must return home as soon as possible.

Ultimately, these foreigners decided to develop a local network to observe Wang Lei's changes. Luo Yifeng, as the assistant to the person in charge, was a very suitable candidate.

Luo Yifeng didn't believe it at first, but the foreigners showed him their findings, including the photos; they also warned him to be careful, because no one could guarantee that the "Wang Lei" was still the real person.

Luo Yifeng thought back and realized that Mr. Wang had indeed been leaving early and returning late lately, and seemed to have changed a bit compared to before...

Just as Luo Yifeng was hesitating, the three men promised him all sorts of benefits.

Luo Yifeng had always wanted to become a Ghost Master, to gain power beyond that of ordinary people, but he had no chance at all. As far as he knew, those who became Ghost Masters all did so through various accidents.

However, these foreigners claimed that their organization possessed methods to turn ordinary people into ghost masters; although there were certain risks involved, the success rate was still high.

Moreover, they could give Luo Yifeng a lot of money and other benefits.

Despite these favorable conditions, Luo Yifeng did not immediately agree, saying he needed to consider it for a few days.

Those people didn't make things difficult for him and let him leave.

Luo Yifeng was then caught in a dilemma: should he report these foreigners to Wang Lei, or accept the benefits they offered?

Unexpectedly, before Luo Yifeng could make a decision, Wang Lei suddenly died in his office the next day.

Luo Yifeng was completely stunned at the time, and his first suspicion was that it was those foreigners who did it.

But thinking about it, the logic doesn't make sense. If the foreigners' real purpose was to target the local manager, why would they go to the trouble of telling an ordinary assistant all this?

From beginning to end, Luo Yifeng's existence was unnecessary.

Therefore, Luo Yifeng suspected that it was still related to the belief in the river god, and that Wang Lei, this veteran, had finally fallen.

Chapter 132 The Arrival of an S-Class Vengeful Ghost

With Wang Lei's death, Luo Yifeng was jolted back to reality and stopped thinking about the benefits he was seeking from foreign powers.

But just as he was about to report to headquarters, the foreigners disappeared, which made Luo Yifeng feel extremely troubled.

If he speaks out, he will be investigated by the research institute, because he will at least be charged with withholding information; but if he doesn't speak out, he will still have a chance to get away with it as if the incident never happened.

Firstly, those foreigners may have sensed something was wrong and boarded planes to return home in advance; secondly, the mortality rate of local officials has always been high, since dealing with all sorts of paranormal events is like dancing with death.

Not to mention, even if it is eventually found out how Wang Lei died, it really has nothing to do with Luo Yifeng, since he didn't kill him.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Luo Yifeng decided to keep it a secret and made various preparations to deal with the next person in charge's investigation...

In the end, Luo Yifeng looked full of regret, "Actually, ever since you took office, Mr. Chu, I had a feeling that this matter could no longer be kept secret."

"Because I've noticed that you're very perceptive, and it seems you've never truly trusted me."

"But I still held onto a glimmer of hope, and only confessed everything to you when things were exposed."

Chu Jiang's face was grim. "I really want to stab you to death right now! In your eyes, you're just hiding a small problem, but do you know how much disaster that has ultimately caused?"

Chu Jiang believed that Luo Yifeng was not lying, because if someone were to lie, they would at least make up something that wouldn't be so easy to expose.

Putting aside other matters, whether there is actually a stone statue of Wang Lei deep in the Luohe River is something that can be investigated on-site.

Not to mention those foreigners, they might not have even left the country yet. If headquarters acted quickly enough, they probably already have their exact location pinpointed.

If everything is true, what is the connection between the River God and the great crisis that is about to occur today?

Chu Jiang didn't believe that the local river god was the mysterious vengeful ghost that created the source of pollution, because their speaking styles didn't match at all.

The problem still lies with those foreigners. They are very likely members of the "Crimson Rose" cult, and their original intention was probably to genuinely investigate the river god belief.

After all, if they worship a ghost as a god, they will naturally be interested in other beings who may be ghosts but claim to be gods.

But these people... they may have already been corrupted by the "true god" they worship, passively becoming the first source of contamination.

These three foreigners were the beginning of everything. During their stay in Luohe City, they inadvertently infected more and more people, eventually leading the "false god" to set its sights on this place.

If Chu Jiang's guess is correct, if a large number of living people become corrupted in a certain area, then that S-class vengeful ghost might disregard spatial distance and descend directly upon that place!

......

Luo Yifeng was completely bewildered by the disaster Chu Jiang spoke of. "What exactly happened? I...we will live forever in heaven..."

Halfway through his sentence, Luo Yifeng suddenly blurted out a completely unrelated sentence, and then his eyes gradually filled with a fanatical light.

He looked out the window.

Chu Jiang, who was sitting with his back to the window, suddenly changed his expression! This was not only because of Luo Yifeng's strange behavior, but also because of the obvious change in the light in the room.

"Chief Chu! Urgent intelligence!" Chen Yuting's voice suddenly rang out from inside Chu Jiang's clothes pocket, because his satellite phone had been left on all along.

“We found those foreigners. Not only did they not leave the country, but they were also inexplicably heading back to Luohe City.”

"By the way, headquarters has already identified them. They're not from the Crimson Rose, but from a small European organization of ghost masters called the [Secret Spirit Society]... *sizzle*... *sizzle*—"

The call abruptly ended, and communication was completely cut off.

Chu Jiang had no time to pay attention to this at the moment; he suddenly stood up and looked back.

Then, through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, Chu Jiang witnessed an extremely shocking scene.

The sun has set!

No! A new sun has appeared in the sky, a black sun!

It seemed to have separated from the real sun in the sky, but it emitted a black light, looking like a solar eclipse.

As Chu Jiang was completely overwhelmed with disbelief, Luo Yifeng frantically rushed towards the glass, as if trying to return to the sun.

But he could only slam his head against the tempered glass, and his forehead bled.

Even so, Luo Yifeng didn't stop. He kept chanting frantically, "We will live forever in heaven, we will live forever in heaven..."

Even more incredibly, Luo Yifeng caught fire!

Black sunlight shone through the glass. Chu Jiang was unharmed, but Luo Yifeng's body was erupting with massive amounts of black flames from within!

Luo Yifeng began to roll around, scream, and wail, but the fanatical look on his twisted face remained unchanged; his eyes were fixed on the sun in the sky.

Meanwhile, similar situations are playing out on a large scale throughout Luohe City.

The pedestrians on the street were still marveling at the changes in the sky; but suddenly a group of people looked up at the sky with fanaticism, raised their hands and shouted, "We will live forever in heaven!" and spontaneously combusted with a "bang" under the black light!

Those who were just taking pictures were now terrified, screaming and running away in all directions.
