    Chapter 443: "Second Half of the Ghost Mirror"

    "Do you still call it a god?" Chu Jiang asked with a smile.

    "It’s just a title, I’m used to it." In a short time, Belfast seemed to have fully adjusted. Her deep blue eyes were calm and natural, like the waters of Lake Baikal.

    "Now, am I still your captive?"

    Chu Jiang shook his head, "You are a free person. Go ahead, you should know the hidden dangers left by Sleep Talking best, and I believe you can handle it. If you can’t resolve it, then contact me."

    Sister Bel was somewhat surprised, "Do you trust me that much? What if I’m fundamentally a bad person?"

    "Even because Sleep Talking has been sealed, I will become the hidden god of the Holy Word Religion behind the scenes, and under my control, this organization will turn into a completely evil cult."

    Chu Jiang twirled the pen in his hand, "Whether you’re a good woman or a bad woman, first and foremost, you’re a smart person; smart people naturally know what to do and what not to do at this time."

    "Moreover, if a bad woman becomes a good woman, the outcome often leads to death, so it’s better to stay as things are now."

    Sister Bel found this a bit strange, "Where does this idea come from?"

    "It comes from a manga I’ve read called ‘Electric Saw Man.’ I recommend you read it when you have free time." Chu Jiang stood up after speaking, as if wanting to chase someone away.

    This made Belfast feel curious, "Weren’t you lusting after me?"

    "Especially when we met in the underground church last time, I could clearly sense your attraction, but you don’t want just a puppet, so you plan to make a move on me after getting rid of Sleep Talking."

    Chu Jiang said seriously, "That’s right, I crave your body. I’m honest and deserve a reward. But now is not the time to discuss this. I have something very important to do."

    "It’s related to The Promised Land that you all hope for. If we succeed, our world will have a future, and then I’ll have the mood to talk about love."

    "Where is the little girl from earlier?" Belfast, due to their "professional habit," had already figured out Chen Keai’s background.

    Even though Chen Keai claimed that she and Chu Jiang were just in a superior-subordinate relationship, couldn’t Sister Bel see through it?

    "I want it all, is that not allowed?" Chu Jiang responded without changing their expression.

    "Hmph, a scumbag." After giving Chu Jiang another scumbag evaluation, Belfast waved their hand and left.

    Of course, before leaving, she exchanged phone numbers with Chu Jiang. After all, Sleep Talking had been sealed away, and they couldn’t communicate remotely like before with just a leaflet.

    ……

    Chu Jiang had already prepared an action plan beforehand. With Sleep Talking’ matter temporarily resolved, the next step was to figure out how to visit the family cemetery.

    Originally, Chu Jiang was wondering if they could learn about this outcome through the White Tiger. After all, the White Tiger was currently browsing through the past of Chu’s Jiang lineage.

    But the White Tiger probably wouldn’t obediently listen to him, and it may not even understand human language. After all, beings like Sleep Talking and Chu’s Jiang were an absolute minority…

    So, are we going to feed another hundred ghosts to Ghost Diary?

    No, no, no. Chu Jiang won’t just give in to this ghost. He decides to try something first.

    Chu Jiang takes out Ghost Mirror again, all by itself. Then he quickly enters Chu’s Jiang transformation state.

    As soon as the dark green zombie appears, Chu Jiang clearly feels the mirror in his hand shake, as if it instinctively wants to escape from him.

    Chu Jiang naturally holds on tight. "Do you understand fear now?" he says with a flat voice.

    After speaking, Chu Jiang realizes that his voice has become dry, hoarse, and eerie, as if it came from the depths of the underworld.

    Ghost Mirror remains still, as if it has turned back into an inanimate object.

    "You know what I want to see. I’ll give you three seconds. Is it being shattered, pulling out the essence and sealing it in the diary, or will you compromise?"

    Then follows a silence as heavy as death for three seconds.

    Chu Jiang didn’t count, he just looked down at the old bronze mirror.

    After three seconds, Chu Jiang reached out with his other hand and grabbed the mirror with both hands, but before he could exert any force, the surface of the mirror began to flicker rapidly.

    Chu Jiang nodded slightly, he was very satisfied. It seemed that ultimate violence could solve most of the difficulties in the world.

    Actually, Chu Jiang had threatened the Ghost Mirror like this before, but at that time, no matter what kind of attack he made on the Ghost Mirror, the result would be transferred back to himself. It can be said that he was punished for his own deeds.

    Now, with Chu’s Jiang taking over completely, the Ghost Mirror should have lost confidence or realized that it was almost impossible to protect itself, so it chose to compromise.

    From this point of view, Chu Jiang confirmed once again that the Ghost Mirror was capable of communication, but it had never bothered to communicate with humans before. Instead, it focused on trapping and killing each of its owners.

    It was only because Chu Jiang was also a ghost that the Ghost Mirror hadn’t really trapped him until now.

    After the image on the mirror stabilized, Chu Jiang saw the "second half" that he missed because of the Ghost Diary’s strike.

    On the man’s face, there were various expressions mixed together, such as numbness, pain, and nervousness. He couldn’t bring his son back to human form from a zombie, so he could only look towards the wooden box in the corner of the room.

    He stumbled towards the edge of the box and took out the inherited seal props one by one.

    The situation the man is facing now is actually much better than his ancestors expected. After Chu’s Jiang was born, he didn’t immediately recover and seemed to be in a dormant state.

    In this way, as long as it is sealed in time, everything can be saved, at least it will not release a disaster upon the world.

    The woman with short hair watched all this on the sickbed. She wanted to stop it, but she was powerless. All she could do was bite her lip and silently shed tears.

    In the end, the man selected seven old and flat town nails and a rectangular ebony box, and walked over with them.

    He opened the wooden box, which depicted various ghost patterns, and picked up the dark green baby and placed it inside the box. Then he closed the lid and picked up a red brick. Following the direction of the Big Dipper, he hammered the seven town nails into the edge of the box.

    After everything was done, the man was still not at ease. He took out a small bottle containing some black and red liquid.

    He carefully poured the liquid over the seams of the box and the lid.

    Strangely, as soon as the liquid appeared, it automatically merged into the cracks and quickly solidified. This seemed to be a way to strengthen the seal.

    Finally, the man took out a dirty fur, but it’s not clear if it’s wolf fur or some other fur.

    The man expressionlessly took out a small knife, cut his hand to let the fur drink his blood. After the fur was completely soaked in blood red, it seemed to come "alive" and jumped up to wrap around a black ebony box, tying a knot.
