I have a ghost diary

......

Unlike when the S-class incident first occurred, the discussions on the forums have swept away the previous pessimism. After all, this time it was a rare victory, and the human side won a great victory.

However, due to the complexity and mystery surrounding the entire incident, it has sparked considerable speculation and conjecture, and even led to numerous rumors. Among these, the most discussed topic is naturally the battle between Chu Jiang and the Black Sun.

Some even suggested that Chu Jiang should be put on the combat power ranking.

This so-called power ranking is entirely fabricated by forum users and is not recognized by the official authorities.

It's just that in crowded places, people always like to discuss combat strength and rank each other, so this thing came into being.

This ranking is divided into several categories, such as No. 1 in domestic combat power, No. 1 in Asian combat power, No. 1 in global combat power, and so on.

Originally, Mr. Xu from the research institute was ranked first on both the domestic and Asian lists, but there is very little information about him. Therefore, some people suggested that Chu Jiang should be ranked first and Mr. Xu second.

Of course, some people disagree with this statement. One netizen said that he had met Mr. Xu and that Mr. Xu was an extremely powerful and terrifying existence. He just couldn't make a move easily. Just like when you play cards, would you go straight for the royal flush?

Some people say that it might not be Chu Jiang who dealt with the S-level ghost; maybe the ghost just disappeared on its own.

However, someone immediately countered, arguing that vengeful ghosts never run away, especially after triggering a killing pattern; they are often in a fight to the death, so how could they simply disappear on their own?

In short, the paranormal forums were almost overwhelmed with traffic that day. Fortunately, the number of paranormal practitioners in China is far less than the number of ordinary people, otherwise the forums and websites would definitely have crashed.

Besides ordinary ghost masters, many high-ranking members of various folk ghost master organizations were considering recruiting Chu Jiang. After all, such a talent was rare, and having him would be tantamount to possessing enormous deterrent power.

Unfortunately, Chu Jiang has already joined Research Institute No. 21, and the price they can offer later probably can't match the institute's offer...

Meanwhile, various official agencies abroad have also marked Chu Jiang as a key person under observation. He is extremely valuable; if the opportunity arises in the future, perhaps we can invite him to resolve some thorny issues.

In a small church in the foggy city of England.

The mysterious, tall woman in a black robe and hood still stood before the cross.

She bowed her head slightly and clasped her hands together, saying, "Lord, please punish me, for this humble believer has failed to fulfill Your commands."

The church was silent for a long while.

Then a strange sound rang out without warning, its tone like a low murmur or a frantic babbling.

Normal people who hear such sounds cannot understand their meaning at all; they will only feel a sharp, stinging pain, as if those whispers are nails piercing their heads and constantly stirring within them.

But it was precisely this sound, which instinctively evoked pain and fear, that caused the mysterious woman to reveal a look of ecstatic joy upon hearing it.

She knelt and prostrated herself on the ground, her face filled with a morbid fanaticism and piety, listening quietly to the eerie sound.

Even after the sound disappeared, the mysterious woman remained motionless in that position for a long time.

Only after she was certain the sound had ceased did she carefully rise and continue to pray, "Lord, I know Your will. Your humble servant will offer this diary to add to Your supreme glory..."

.........

Domestically, after various personnel from the research institute gradually moved into Luohe City, they were both amazed that Chujiang could achieve such a level of success and also developed considerable concerns.

So: Where did the Black Sun go? And where did Chu Jiang go?

It must be said that despite the many speculations from the outside world that the 21st Research Institute was intentionally concealing the truth and strictly controlling the outflow of information through various channels to prevent leaks,

However, the research institute was in a real predicament because they had very few secrets to leak, and they were even worried that an S-class incident would break out again.

The most urgent task is to find the whereabouts of the ghost and Chu Jiang.

If the Black Sun has truly been sealed away, then conventional sealing methods may not be effective against an S-class vengeful ghost in the long run. The ghost must be sent to headquarters immediately.

Some even suggested that we should take advantage of this safe gap and immediately evacuate all the living people in Luohe City.

However, the proposal was rejected at a small meeting at the highest level because it could potentially cause further panic in the country.

Not to mention the official narrative that the S-level incident has been completely resolved. Domestic authorities are also making every effort to mitigate the impact of this incident on the general public.

If you suddenly say that there's a possibility of another outbreak, how can this matter possibly be suppressed?

Chapter 163 Did I Time Travel?

Chen Yehua, as the highest-ranking member of the first batch of support personnel, was given a critical mission and led his team to investigate the whereabouts of Chu Jiang and Black Sun.

The first person they approached was, of course, Xu Shengtian, who had released the video.

Although Xu Shengtian was the first eyewitness, he didn't know much. He only knew that Chu Jiang had indeed stepped forward to save the city and pointed out the area where Chu Jiang had been knocked away.

So Expert Chen began to divide his forces, one group going to Tianfeng Building to search for personnel from the local branch, to see if any survivors knew anything.

On the other hand, he personally led a team to search the area where Chu Jiang had disappeared.

Because the area demarcated by Xu Shengtian was very large, Chen and his team were not very efficient in their search. The main reason, however, was that everything within that area seemed normal.

Soon after, information came from Tianfeng Building that there were three survivors in the local branch.

This is also related to the fact that they were on the top floor of the building. When those black fire skeletons started to invade the homes, the people on the lower floors were the first to die.

Although some buildings have places where sunlight can reach, there are not many.

Despite finding survivors, neither the operator Lin Yun, the accountant Chen Ke'er, nor the special envoy Li Xiaolang knew Chu Jiang's whereabouts.

Chu Jiang hadn't told them about his plans at all, fearing that the Black Sun would find out.

Lin Yun, having been deeply contaminated, was not waking up quickly; Chen Ke'er, being an ordinary person, knew nothing when asked.

However, Chen Ke'er provided a piece of information: Chu Jiang had told her, "If I don't come back, it means I'm dead."

Finally, there's Li Xiaolang. He only knows that Chu Jiang must have used the Ju-on videotape, but he knows nothing about Chu Jiang's actions.

......

With the trail going cold at Tianfeng Building, Expert Chen and his team had no choice but to continue searching for clues in this area.

Chen Yehua's thinking was very clear. Although the local person in charge was missing and the assistant was suspected of being dead, there should be records of some places in the area where abnormal events had occurred, whether it was the branch office or the headquarters.

He quickly found that the local branch had submitted a special location file called "Lin Clan Ancestral Hall".

The file states that the previous person in charge, Wang Lei, inadvertently entered the ancestral hall and experienced a peculiar sense of oppression; the details are still under investigation.

Although specific information was scarce, the place where Chu Jiang and the Black Sun disappeared happened to be near this ancestral hall, so Expert Chen immediately led his people to the ancestral hall to investigate.

Of course, he was not reckless; he simply let Yan Wanli and Zhang Haoran, who had volunteered, go in first to check the situation.

This pairing is perfect; one is incredibly powerful, and the other is unaffected by supernatural influences.

However, after circling around several times, the two found nothing, and Yan Wanli did not perceive any so-called "sense of oppression".

After communication between the two sides, Chen, the expert, had no choice but to add more people.

Even after increasing the stakes to the end, those who went in still couldn't find anything unusual.

In the end, Chen Yehua had no choice but to personally go inside the ancestral hall and wander around it several times.

After observing the place, he didn't let anyone touch anything. Instead, he went to the nearby surviving residents' homes and asked them some questions about the ancestral hall.

Although there were surviving Lin family descendants nearby, and even some people who had heard Chu Jiang's voice before.

But don't forget, time has been restarted. Those who don't have supernatural powers will lose that memory after the time restart.

Therefore, when faced with Expert Chen's questions, the Lin family descendants who were receiving assistance all shook their heads, indicating that they did not know the details.

However, some people have heard a huge impact and vibration coming from the ancestral hall, like a meteorite falling.

This made expert Chen even more suspicious that Chu Jiang and the Black Sun disappeared in this ancestral hall.

Furthermore, expert Chen has a question: Who is Lin Daosheng? Why is the memorial tablet of the sixteenth generation ancestor placed above that of the fourteenth generation ancestor?

As soon as he asked this question, the descendants of the Lin family immediately began to talk non-stop, all saying that their survival this time must be because the old patriarch was secretly protecting them...

In short, Chen Yehua and his group worked until late at night but still couldn't find any trace of the ghost or Chu Jiang.

However, Chen Yehua also obtained some key clues, and he had the people from the research institute secretly seal off the Lin family ancestral hall.

What does "secretly sealed off" mean?

We don't allow any strangers to enter or leave this place, but on the surface, we still have to pretend that everything is normal. We even let the gatekeepers continue to guard the gate, and when it's time to worship our ancestors, we still let them do so as usual.

However, there are always people lying in ambush around the ancestral hall. One must be wary of strangers trying to enter, and also of strangers coming out.

This is an extremely crucial place, which may very well be trapping an S-class vengeful ghost and a ghost master capable of contending with an S-class vengeful ghost.

If someone wants to cause trouble, this is a perfect spot.

Therefore, from both a moral and logical standpoint, the No. 21 Research Institute could not allow anyone to discover the special nature of the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall.

Moreover, they also have to guard against the possibility that one day in the future, a ghost or a person might suddenly emerge from here.

......

With the intervention of official rescue personnel and research institutes, the situation in Luohe City is improving day by day.

The remains of the deceased were collected, and the survivors received proper physical and psychological treatment, and even a living allowance similar to "hush money".

Even those deeply infected individuals who had previously been in a coma returned to normal after waking up.

Even if some individuals still have a strong impression of phrases like "heaven" and may even occasionally utter them, their perceptions are no longer distorted.

However, the researchers still couldn't find Chu Jiang, nor the Black Sun, as if they had both vanished from this world forever...

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

Darkness, endless darkness, Chu Jiang felt as if he were having a long dream.

In his dream, he seemed to be participating in an ancient ritual, surrounded by desolate and distant melodies, and the strangely scented aroma of mugwort...

When Chu Jiang finally managed to open his eyes, he felt a headache coming on and was generally dizzy. He also felt as if he had been wrapped in white cloth and was lying on the bed like a mummy.

Struggling to sit up, Chu Jiang felt that he had probably been saved by a kind person who had bandaged him up after seeing that his body was charred black.

But what about the black sun? Did the old man seal it away?

As soon as some questions popped into his mind, Chu Jiang froze.

He discovered that he was lying on an antique-style four-poster bed.

Moreover, the room he was in was exactly like an ancient side room, with a dressing mirror, screen, round wooden table and chairs, and even the carved windows were made of paper.

This completely baffled Chu Jiang. "Did I just time-travel?!"
