I have a ghost diary

Tragically, Gao Yifei and his friends had to move Li Yan's body away.

Because of Chu Jiang's previous speculation, they had already witnessed firsthand that the corpses of the dead would indeed "revive" after a period of time and eventually transform into new ghostly figures.

The entire No. 7 Middle School has now become a paradise for vengeful ghosts. There are fewer and fewer living people, and all the dead will become new perpetrators.

Gao Yifei and his two companions had to sacrifice another person not long after returning to the boys' dormitory.

Hearing Gao Yifei's roar, tears streamed down Chen Jie's face. Liu Mingming gritted her teeth and dragged Chen Jie's hand forward.

If I encounter a ghost again, he'll be next. What a messed up world!

Suddenly, Liu Mingming felt a figure flash past his side, which startled him so much that his scalp tingled and he staggered, almost falling over.

Chen Jie saw it too, but she was no longer able to express any emotion; even her eyes were vacant.

"Ah~!"

Then came Gao Yifei's screams from behind. Liu Mingming and the other man could hardly imagine how much pain their companion had suffered, and what part of his body was missing.

The next second, the two heard a familiar voice again, "Stop, don't run!"

Liu Mingming and Chen Jie did not stop immediately, but when they realized whose voice it was, they couldn't help but show a look of horror. Even Chen Jie turned around to look back.

From a distance, they could only vaguely make out two figures.

Even more terrifying, the figure on the left tore off the arm of the figure on the right! At the same time, they heard Gao Yifei's scream again.

Upon witnessing this bloody scene, Chen Jie's brain was overwhelmed by the shock, and she rolled her eyes back and lost consciousness.

Liu Mingming also fell to the ground, her whole body shaking like a leaf.

He was completely desperate and didn't want to escape anymore; he just wanted a quick and painless death.

However, things didn't go as Liu Mingming had imagined.

The figure on the left tore off his own clothes, helped the figure on the right sit down, and then bandaged the other's wounds tightly, wrapping them around in circles.

"Liu Mingming, come and help me!" Chu Jiang, his face smeared with blood, turned and shouted in that direction.

Is it really Chu Jiang?

After a while, Liu Mingming struggled to get up. He looked at the unconscious Chen Jie and hesitated for a moment before rushing to the two men's side.

Upon seeing Chu Jiang alive and well up close, Liu Mingming was still somewhat incredulous. "You're not dead??"

"It's a long story," Chu Jiang sighed. "You help Gao Yifei up, I'll wake Chen Jie up, and we'll all escape the school as quickly as possible. This place is getting more and more terrifying."

Just now, Chu Jiang arrived at the last moment. After being brought back to life, his physical fitness has improved by a lot for some reason. He ran all the way without even panting and was able to tear off a human arm with his bare hands.

As for why Gao Yifei was crippled, Chu Jiang didn't want that either.

When he arrived, the ghostly figure had already bitten Gao Yifei's left upper arm.

Chu Jiang immediately used the blood handprint on his right hand. With just one slap, the ghostly figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated. The effect was surprisingly good.

However, Chu Jiang noticed that Gao Yifei was acting very strangely; the other man's face turned deathly pale, as if he had been cursed.

In desperation, Chu Jiang had no choice but to tear off one of his hands to stop the curse from spreading further.

So far, it seems that this approach has been effective. Gao Yifei is still alive, and he is also very determined; he didn't even lose consciousness after having one of his hands torn off.

Chapter Fourteen: Attempting to Escape

Before Liu Mingming arrived to help, Chu Jiang had considered helping Gao Yifei heal his wounds, since he himself had managed to heal a large hole in his chest.

But perhaps because Chu Jiang had just gained new power and couldn't control it perfectly, after struggling for a long time, he could only stop the bleeding temporarily for Gao Yifei, and couldn't heal him at all.

There wasn't much time to try anymore, and after calling for reinforcements, Chu Jiang decided not to look for anyone else.

Because the darkness at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School is even deeper, there are probably very few survivors left in the school; after most of the people have died, even more terrible changes will likely occur within the school.

Time is life, not to mention there's an ultimate boss who could be found anytime soon.

Although Chu Jiang has now gained some supernatural powers, he is not confident that he can go head-to-head with the Slender Ghost, who is the true source ghost.

......

Reaching the unconscious Chen Jie, Chu Jiang patted her face, but there was no response.

So Chu Jiang pinched her arm hard, hard enough to leave a bruise, but Chen Jie still didn't wake up.

There was no other way, so Chu Jiang first picked Chen Jie up in a princess carry. The main reason was that he had a backpack on his back, which contained a pure black diary, and Chu Jiang really couldn't let an ordinary person be near a diary.

After meeting up with Liu Mingming, the remaining four people headed to the nearest school wall, which was not far from the boys' dormitory.

On the way, Chu Jiang asked Li Yan where he was going.

Liu Mingming was unsure how to begin, but in the end, Gao Yifei, who was pale-faced, gave a brief account of what had happened after they parted ways.

Chu Jiang sighed, feeling depressed and upset. In fact, when he arrived here and didn't see Li Yan, he had already guessed the outcome.

All I can say is that Li Yan was a true man, but unfortunately he couldn't hold on until the end.

......

They arrived safely near the wall, but there were four or five ghostly figures lingering there, so Chu Jiang put Chen Jie down and asked everyone to wait a moment.

After saying that, he rushed forward and, in no time at all, slapped each of the ghostly figures away, leaving the two big men behind him dumbfounded.

How did Chu Jiang become so ferocious after coming back from the dead?

Even Gao Yifei, who had witnessed Chu Jiang defeat a ghost figure, was surprised that Chu Jiang could easily handle four or five opponents. And it seemed he was completely ignoring the concept of being trapped in a maze?

Only Chu Jiang himself knew that this was because after his resurrection, his physical functions had increased dramatically, allowing him to keep up with his opponent's speed; coupled with a method to defeat his enemy, this made him appear very relaxed.

If it were before his resurrection, even a hundred of him wouldn't be enough to feed these ghostly figures.

When Chu Jiang returned, Chen Jie was already clutching the back of his head, struggling to open his eyes.

It seems that when Chu Jiang put her down, her head hit something.

Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and helped Chen Jie up.

She had expected the other person to scream, but Chen Jie only paused for a moment before calming down. She looked around and wondered, "Is this the underworld?"

Chu Jiang gave a wry smile. He didn't explain, but simply handed the task over to someone else.

Incidentally, Chu Jiang also had Liu Mingming and Chen Jie hold his left hand, and Chen Jie hold his right hand, before he led the way toward the wall.

By the time the others had finished explaining, they had reached the wall. If it weren't for the supernatural power Chu Jiang possessed, they wouldn't have been able to get to the wall so easily.

Without wasting any time, Chu Jiang climbed over the wall.

Climbing up was easy, but when Chu Jiang wanted to get out, it wasn't so simple.

It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out.

So Chu Jiang let his right palm start dripping blood again. He was a little uneasy, but he still resolutely pressed his right hand on it!

As he stretched out his hand, Chu Jiang was prepared to attract the Giraffe.

But whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, the Slender Man didn't come, but he also couldn't get out...

Yes, the blood handprint cannot be broken through this barrier-like thing.

After repeated unsuccessful attempts, Chu Jiang's face turned grim. He slammed the object repeatedly, blood splattering everywhere, even making "bang bang" sounds.

But the invisible wall in front of them seemed like an insurmountable barrier, remaining completely still.

After a dozen or so strikes, Chu Jiang decisively stopped.

He took something out of his bag, tested it, and then led everyone away from the wall, fleeing far away.

Chu Jiang had not lost his mind. Since the blood handprint could not get him out, staying here would only lead to suicide.

Chu Jiang was relatively disappointed with this result.

After his resurrection, he felt that since his blood handprint could restrain other ghosts to a certain extent, it might also be useful when dealing with ghost walls and this barrier.

The results of personal testing proved that it was easy to break through the "ghost wall" (a type of illusionary obstacle), and even to kill the minions under the Slender Man's command with a single blow.

However, when faced with this barrier, the Blood Handprint was still defeated, possibly because its control over it was too low.

On the other hand, it must be said that the Slender Man was terrifying.

Even though he has now entered a state that seems to be possessed by a ghost and has obtained the blood handprint, there is still a difference between ghosts.

Just as the Ghost Tree and Slender Man were incomparable before, it is now clear that the Blood Hand Ghost is also incomparable to Slender Man, at least in terms of the power that Chu Jiang can unleash.

As for who is stronger between the Ghost Tree and the current Chu Jiang, that's unknown. In any case, they've never clashed head-on, and Chu Jiang doesn't want to either.

Finally, the Black Diary itself can actually pass through this barrier; Chu Jiang just tried it.

Why did he withdraw?

Because the diary didn't care about Chu Jiang at all, Chu Jiang stuffed half of the diary out, but his hand hit the barrier and couldn't get it out. At most, he could only throw the diary out separately.

This made Chu Jiang grit his teeth in hatred. He had flipped through his diary on his way from the bluestone path to the boys' dormitory.

The date and content recorded on it haven't changed; things like, "Everyone died, including me."

This made Chu Jiang suspect that the diary still wanted him dead, but it just couldn't do it itself; otherwise, it would have already devoured him.

Since the Black Diary is out of the question, what other methods are left?

Everything seemed to have reached a dead end.

You can't even write anything on it, otherwise Chu Jiang could have written a distress message in his diary and thrown it out of the school to seek help.

There should be people guarding outside the school now. Chu Jiang refused to believe that such a big thing would happen at the school and there would be no reaction from outside.

Since ghosts exist in the world, I hope there are also people who can exorcise them, whether they are Taoist priests or Buddhist monks. Why don't you come into the school and save people!

Chapter Fifteen: Desperate Situation Returns

After sighing, Chu Jiang realized that the only way out was to find a breakthrough in the Black Diary.

If this thing really had the ability to manipulate time, that would be wonderful... to go back to before the ghosts started haunting us.

Well, you can't think of it that way. Even Slender Man couldn't do anything to the diary. Maybe we can actually discover similar abilities from it in the future, it's just that I can't do it now.
