Chapter 442: Banishing the Evil Spirit

Chu Jiang had expected that Sister Bel would hate Sleep Talking and cooperate with him after she woke up.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Belfast didn’t respond to Chu Jiang’s words. She only held her hands together, her face full of disbelief, and even asked excitedly, "Where is it? Where is it! Let me see it, I want to know what kind of existence it really is."

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised. It seemed that he had underestimated the persistence of someone who had been brainwashed for fifteen years towards the deity she believed in.

"Do not talk about God, don’t draw the appearance of God, don’t write down the name of God, don’t carve the shape of God, don’t mention the name of God…" Sister Bel murmured, as if these beliefs had been engraved in her bones.

When Chu Jiang heard this sentence, he suddenly had a feeling of realization, "So that’s how it is. I guess you have always wanted to know what Sleep Talking looks like."

"No problem, it looks like this."

As he spoke, Chu Jiang unfolded a small Ghost Domain and displayed Sleep Talking’ true form.

It looks like a round earthenware jar with a small mouth and a large belly, covered in dust as if just dug out of the ground. There is even a hole on its mouth, as if carved by a sharp tool.

"This is called a jar. ‘Shuowen Jiezi’ says: a jar is a pottery vessel used for holding wine and milk. The people of the Qin Dynasty beat it with rhythmic songs."

Although Chu Jiang calmly introduced it, Sister Bel couldn’t help but widen her eyes in disbelief when she saw it.

After several seconds, she fearfully retreated from the bed, saying, "No, it’s not like this! Take it away! This is not a god!"

Chu Jiang was once again surprised by Belfast’s reaction, but then thought it was quite normal.

Sister Bel can accept that the essence of God is very holy, but she can also accept that it is terrifying and even takes on a twisted and inhuman form; however, she cannot accept that the object of her long-standing worship is actually a broken jar.

At least this thing looks like it, even though Chu Jiang thinks Sleep Talking’ existence should be ancient in history; after all, ghosts that take objects as their essence usually rely on the thoughts of many people over time in order to take shape.

"Have you ever heard of a term called ‘dispelling mystery’? It means to dissolve the mysteriousness, sacredness, and allure of science." Chu Jiang looked seriously at Sister Bel.

"Actually, it’s the same now. I just deconstructed the true face of this ghost for you. Can you not accept that?"

Belfast fell silent for a moment, then she kneeled down, wrapped her arms around her knees, and buried her head in her arms, in painful contemplation. "Give me some time to calm down…"

Chu Jiang nodded. "I’ll be in the next office. Come find me when you’ve figured things out."

……

Chu Jiang temporarily returned to his office, but as soon as he entered, the head of a young girl secretly peeked out from a corner of the hallway outside.

This is Chen Keai. She accidentally saw Chu Jiang carrying a woman in a state of unconsciousness into the adjacent bedroom, which immediately led her mind to come up with many unsettling scenarios.

In addition, there were loud cries coming from the rooms ahead… Anyway, Chen Keai resisted the urge to call the police and quietly sneaked into the room where Sister Bel was.

Chu Jiang, sitting in his office chair, naturally couldn’t have missed this scene. He originally wanted to stop this silly daydreamer, but considering how relaxed he felt when he was with Chen Keai, who loved to imagine things, he decided not to.

Since that’s the case, it’s better for her to accompany Sister Bel. Precisely because she is an ordinary person, she wouldn’t raise any suspicions from the shrewd Belfast.

Furthermore, Chu Jiang was right next door, keeping an eye on everything that happened next door, ensuring that nothing unexpected would occur.

During this process, Chu Jiang remained active. He closed his eyes and attempted to sense the presence of the White Tiger in his consciousness.

However, he couldn’t sense it now. Chu Jiang could only clearly perceive its whereabouts after he had fully transformed into Chu’s Jiang.

Actually, at the moment, the White Tiger posed no threat to Chu Jiang. It was engrossed in the history of Chu’s Jiang or the history of the Chu family lineage.

There was also no need to worry about it suddenly attacking Chu Jiang’s consciousness, as the White Tiger currently resided deep in the subconscious. That territory was controlled by the instincts of Chu’s Jiang, and if it dared to cause trouble, Chu’s Jiang would crush it first.

Furthermore, Chu Jiang now possessed the ability to expose it. He just needed to transform into Chu’s Jiang again.

However, after thinking about it, Chu Jiang decided to keep this guy for now. Maybe later when dealing with Slender Man, he could use it as a shield.

Yes, Chu Jiang was just that ruthless. Consider it as the "reading fee" he collected from White Tiger.

As for this S-class ghost, why it was so interested in Chu’s Jiang’s past, Chu Jiang could guess a little bit.

After all, Chu’s Jiang’s existence could be considered unique even on a global scale. White Tiger, although not yet conscious, was showing some signs after the long years.

It might be trying to use this method to complete its own evolution.

For now, we can temporarily ignore White Tiger, as for Sleep Talking… talking about life can wait. Chu Jiang needs to finish the important task first, at least take care of Slender Man.

……

While waiting, Chu Jiang got bored and put back together the two blank pages of the Ghost Diary.

Anyway, there were no sealed spirits inside, putting it back together would just make the diary whole again without bringing any direct benefits to the Ghost Diary.

By the way, Chu Jiang also talks to himself in the diary, praising its behavior of "protecting its master" and criticizing its behavior of "devouring its master."

After Chu Jiang finished talking to the diary, the "psychological counselor" in the next room also reached its conclusion.

Feeling dizzy, Chen Keai touched her forehead and went back to the finance room.

At first, she just saw a beautiful older sister crying in the room, so she kindly went to comfort her. But the other person started talking to her about life, family, ideals, and beliefs, and they talked about everything.

Chen Keai reluctantly gave her response from her own perspective. She felt like she was not here to comfort others, but to answer the teacher’s questions in class.

Just when the other person’s mood improved a little, she immediately said goodbye!

Chen Keai also noticed that the people the boss brought back didn’t seem to be normal.

Wait! After returning to the finance room, Chen Keai remembered something. Could this mixed beauty be the one the boss mentioned, Belfast…?

Seeing Sister Bel approaching her, resuming that noble and composed appearance, Chu Jiang nodded slightly, saying, "I said those things before…"

Sister Bel nodded, "I just contacted the various branches, and so far everything seems normal. In fact, there are far fewer followers brainwashed by Sleep Talking than you imagine, probably no more than five, including Jade."

"For a religion, this is already enough since our god can truly perform miracles."

"In this aspect, Holy Word Religion surpasses the ancient religions currently practiced in the world, which is why we have developed so quickly."
