Chapter 435
by post_apiChapter 435: The End of All Things
Faced with Chu Jiang’s hypnosis, Belfast struggled for a moment, and even countless dark and evil black words appeared on her body, full of a sense of blasphemy.
But as Chu Jiang strengthened his power, her tense body relaxed, and those words sank down.
Seeing Sister Bel’s unfocused gaze, Chu Jiang asked, "Were you telling me the truth just now?"
Sister Bel nodded, responding somewhat confusedly, "Yes, it’s true, but I am not disappointed in God, nor do I think He will surrender."
"I follow God’s will, and I believe He will surely give me a surprise, but I just don’t know His true intentions yet."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang felt a bit disappointed, it seemed that Sleep Talking hadn’t revealed too much to a puppet.
"So what’s the deal with these two diary pages? Are they hiding any dangers?"
"One of them is the one I dedicated to God, and He bestowed it upon me; the other one He gave me before I set off today."
"I didn’t see anything wrong with the diary, but I suspected that God might be in one of its pages, finally emerging from the end of all things…"
"What does ‘the end of all things’ mean, exactly?" Chu Jiang had heard this term more than once, first seeing it on a flyer from the Holy Word Religion.
"Our Lord is not only a prophetic God, but also has power over time. It has witnessed the end of this world’s destruction along the river of time."
"God usually exists at that time point of destruction, only descending to our current time point when it deems necessary."
Chu Jiang was dumbfounded by what he heard. Is that even possible? To travel back and forth across thousands or even millions of years?!
Or is it that the end of the world is coming in just a few years? But even so, it’s too extreme to be able to jump between the future and the present, right?
The more Chu Jiang thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. If Sleep Talking is really that bizarre, then how was it sealed in the Ghost Diary all those years ago?
And the future has countless possibilities, right? If it could freely choose which future to go to, that would be even more exaggerated.
At the moment, Chu Jiang could only assume that Sleep Talking may also undergo a time reset, just like Slender Man and the Black Sun.
As for the idea of "the end of all things," it should only be that Belfast was deceived by Sleep Talking, truly believing that her God was so powerful.
Seeing that Sister Bel really didn’t know much, Chu Jiang started asking her for any information about the Holy Word Religion. To know your enemy is to win every battle.
Finally, Chu Jiang asked, how did Sister Bel join this cult?
The answer he got was: Holy Word Religion was created by Belfast herself, and she was Sleep Talking’s first follower in modern times.
Belfast was born in Belfast City, the capital of Northern Ireland, in the United Kingdom. Her father was from Kyushu, and her mother was from the UK. They had a whirlwind romance, got married quickly, and then divorced just as quickly.
In short, Sister Bel grew up in an unhealthy family environment. She was smart and learned both languages and knowledge of the two countries from a young age. But her heart was in a constant state of confusion. She didn’t even know which country she would settle in when she grew up, her parents’ or her mother’s.
When Sister Bel was sixteen years old, during the school holidays, she came to visit her father as usual and happened to come across a vintage phonograph from the Republican era.
It was one of those machines with a big horn, which could only play sound with vinyl records.
And it was in this phonograph that Belfast heard the voice of the divine Sleep Talking for the first time.
At first, Sister Bel was very scared, and even in pain. But slowly, she became calm because she started to understand this language.
And this divine being promised her a wonderful future…
From then on, Belfast felt like she had found her purpose. With the help of the divine being, she created the Holy Word Religion with her own hands. This was before the strange revival even began.
Sister Bel gradually became the Ghost Master and started recruiting talented individuals and adopting orphans. They established bases in many countries.
The divine being rarely communicated directly with Sister Bel. Instead, they used paper and dreams. But Sister Bel became even more devout, especially after the strange revival that the divine being had prophesied officially started.
Now, fifteen years have passed. The Holy Word Religion has become a massive hidden organization hiding beneath the water’s surface. They have infiltrated the upper echelons of many supernatural organizations. They are chasing after clues to "The Promised Land" and await "The Day of Judgment"…
After hearing this, Chu Jiang felt heavy-hearted. Sleep Talking is so terrifying, and it hasn’t even begun causing trouble officially. If one day it gives the command, the destruction caused by the Holy Word Religion will be no less than an S-class supernatural disaster, or maybe even worse.
Chu Jiang looked at Belfast standing quietly across from him and decided to let her sleep for now.
From Sister Bel’s words, they couldn’t learn any more information. It was now up to Chu Jiang and Sleep Talking to proceed formally.
In order to prevent this lady from interfering with the upcoming battle, Chu Jiang picked her up and threw her into the water.
This is not meant to drown Sister Bel. Before Sister Bel arrived, Chu Jiang had already asked River God Wang Lei to be ready at all times. Now he just wants Wang Lei to help get rid of this lady.
Let’s take her downstream first. Chu Jiang called Miss Lin Mohua from the Lin family and asked her to bring her family over to take care of her.
This is to prevent the possibility of Sleep Talking hiding in Sister Bel. It’s better to have a group of real ghosts take care of her than to have living subordinates from the company take over.
Currently, Chu Jiang has two possibilities: either the ghost is hiding in the diary, or it’s hidden in Sister Bel.
He just checked and didn’t find any trace of Sleep Talking possessing Sister Bel. So now he highly suspects the two pages of diary laying on the ground not far away.
Even if it’s not in the diary, Chu Jiang is not worried. According to the prophecy in the Ghost Diary, something will definitely happen today. If Chu Jiang doesn’t find Sleep Talking, Sleep Talking will come to him on his own.
Of course, since both of them have the ability to predict the future, they may play a game of "I predict your prediction". The result would be both of them predicting each other, not taking any action, and just arguing on paper…
If that happens, Chu Jiang would be unlucky and wasted a day waiting to go home.
Looking at the yellowed pages of the diary, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary and said, "From such a close distance, I can’t believe you can’t tell if there are ghosts inside."
"In that case, let’s do it like last time. If it lands with the front side up, it means there are ghosts. If it lands with the back side up, it means there are none. I hope you understand. If you really can’t accept being taken by Sleep Talking."
After saying that, Chu Jiang threw the diary up in the air and then clasped his hands together, making a mysterious gesture.
