Chapter 420
by post_apiChapter 420: It Will Listen, It Will Come
After listening, Chen Keai wasn’t angry, but rather relieved.
"I used to think that you only saw me as a tool to regulate your mood, not even worth being a backup plan."
"After all, with your conditions, it’s easy for you to find a woman who is a thousand times better than me."
"Now, to be honest, I feel a bit jealous, but I’m also happy that you can tell me these things, including the time when a ghost stole your first kiss and you immediately called me for comfort."
"Then you said that this situation is related to the ghosts inside you. So in the future, I will try my best. Isn’t it just pure desire? I can do that too."
Chen Keai straightened her chest, still not convinced, and said, "Before, I was afraid that you would think I was a promiscuous woman, so I dressed more conservatively, like in the office lady style. But I can also wear black stockings, white stockings, and those lace underwear…"
Chu Jiang chuckled as he covered her mouth, "Alright, alright, I know your determination now."
Chen Keai pouted slightly and bit Chu Jiang’s finger, "And also, I want to meet that beautiful mixed-race woman named Belfast. I really want to see how beautiful she is that she can make you fall for her."
"Next time, when there’s a chance."
Chen Keai nodded, "You go ahead and focus on saving the world. If everything can really stabilize like you said, then we can talk about these things later."
"Besides, Miss Bei currently has a superficial and insincere attitude towards you. It won’t be so easy for you to conquer her. Get her in your hands first before trying anything."
And so, the discussion between the two of them about this matter came to a temporary end.
But to make up for it, Chen Keai asked Chu Jiang for a kiss.
How can I describe the feeling afterward… not bad, Chu Jiang found that compared to Sister Bel’s lips, it had a different taste.
——————–
The next day, Chu Jiang took three descendants of the Xu family to the headquarters of the research institute.
However, when Chu Jiang was on the airplane, he received a message from Sister Bel.
This time she didn’t speak, she just shook a flyer and two lines of writing appeared on it:
[Have you got the Two Realms Bell? If you are willing to answer us honestly, we can return that page of the diary to you.]
[If you are willing to give us the Bell, we can give you two pages of the diary.]
Chu Jiang automatically ignored the second sentence, he couldn’t give up the Two Realms Bell.
As for this first sentence, if you answer yes or no, can you magically get a page of diary?
Hello, hello, is Holy Word Religion really so kind? Or, is that ghost really so kind?
Wait, Chu Jiang suddenly remembered something. Earlier, the Ghost Mirror showed that Belfast had clearly sacrificed that page of diary to Sleep Talking.
So, when she says it can be returned, does she mean she got it back from Sleep Talking?
Or maybe it was Sleep Talking who purposefully instructed Sister Bel to do this. There’s a high chance that they tampered with that diary in some way…
For instance, Sleep Talking hides itself in the diary, and then it is passed to Chu Jiang’s hands. This way, it can definitely catch him completely off guard.
As Chu Jiang kept thinking, he furrowed his brow. Holy Word Religion is not trustworthy.
In the end, Chu Jiang decided to ignore the other person. After all, the missing pages of the diary will eventually be recovered. It won’t make much difference if it takes a little longer.
As for the Ghost Mirror, this time it didn’t deceive itself again?
Now even Chu Jiang doesn’t know what’s going on with this broken mirror. It doesn’t want to do what Chu Jiang wants, but the pictures it shows are somehow useful.
This must be a really fun person…
No, no, no, the Ghost Mirror has killed many people in the past. It can’t be so easy to get along with. Chu Jiang thinks it’s probably related to the ghost on him.
While he was thinking, Sister Bel might have noticed that Chu Jiang wasn’t responding for a long time, so she sent him another message.
[Don’t touch the bell randomly. It will hear, it will come. You know who it is.]
Chu Jiang was stunned as he looked at the flyer in his hand.
Is it… Slender Man?
Chu Jiang couldn’t help but clench his fist. He had always wanted to get revenge on this ghost.
But since the last appearance at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, no one in the world has seen any trace of this ghost. So even though Chu Jiang is unwilling, he can only patiently wait for any news of its appearance.
If Chu Jiang touches the Two Realms Bell and it makes a sound that the Slender Man hears, leading to its arrival, Chu Jiang can say that he desired it.
After all, he is not weak anymore and has the confidence to fight against the Slender Man.
However, the Holy Word Religion seems to disagree with this because this statement indicates a warning, suggesting that they don’t have much faith in Chu Jiang’s victory, do they?
Leaving aside the chances of winning, Chu Jiang is curious about when the Slender Man started chasing the sound of the Two Realms Bell.
In theory, when the bell was still in the small shrine in the island country, it was likely often rung by people.
Could it be that the Slender Man didn’t appear during the previous supernatural revival?
Another thing that Chu Jiang can’t understand is why, if the Two Realms Bell was always sealed in this iron box, its sound was heard at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School in the past?
……
By the time Chu Jiang got off the plane, he still hadn’t figured out the answers to these questions. He decided not to think about them for now and meet Zhang Haoran and the experts first.
When Chu Jiang arrived at headquarters, he was warmly welcomed again.
Nowadays, he is no longer described as a "famous person", but more like a "special weapon for dealing with S-class ghosts" in the supernatural circle abroad.
After finally getting rid of them, Chu Jiang asked Xu Xiaoxiao and the others to take the elevator to the 14th floor underground.
If Mr. Xu is willing to see them, then they can naturally go in; if he doesn’t want to see them, then they will wait on the first floor.
Then Chu Jiang went to the 10th floor underground, to Expert Chen’s office.
Since they had already agreed, as soon as they entered the office, Chu Jiang saw three experts, Chen Yehua, Ning Miaowei, Lui Jingsheng, as well as his old classmate Zhang Haoran, who were already waiting for him.
When Zhang Haoran, who was wearing glasses, saw Chu Jiang, he came up and hugged him, saying, "You’ve worked hard, I don’t know if I can help this time."
Although he said so, in his heart, Zhang Haoran had already assumed that he couldn’t help. He had experienced this kind of disappointment before.
"Let’s not rush into that," Chen Yehua, who looked paler than usual, raised his hand and said, "If the situation is really as you guessed, Chu Jiang, then I think it’s dangerous to open that box on the spot. We need to be fully prepared."
