Chapter 407: The Jerk’s Request

While Chu Jiang was pondering, he discovered that with the continuous hypnosis of the Requiem, the degree of slumber in the Ghost Abyss was slightly deepening.

What does it mean specifically? If you stop for a moment, it will return to its original state within half an hour.

If you stop now, it will probably take about 35 minutes.

Don’t underestimate this slight change, it means that if Chu Jiang continues this hypnosis for a month, it will probably take Ghost Abyss a whole day to fully recover.

Of course, Chu Jiang cannot continue the hypnosis for a month.

Based on his previous experiment with the cursed female ghost, if he continues to borrow power until the third day, the music box will successfully escape from the Ghost Diary and directly invade his body.

But this gave Chu Jiang a new idea:

He could completely follow the plan given by Sleep Talking, and throw the Music Box Ghost in here, temporarily "half-sealing" the Ghost Abyss. Then, when he needed to deal with Sleep Talking later, he could come back and retrieve the music box.

Anyway, as the duration of hypnosis continued to lengthen, the Ghost Abyss wasn’t as easily able to wake up. After Chu Jiang eliminated the Sleep Talking, he could come back and throw the Music Box Ghost in again, allowing the "semi-seal" on this side to be maintained.

Moreover, when Chu Jiang fully awakened the power of Chu’s Jiang, there was even the possibility of completely solving the Ghost Abyss…

The more Chu Jiang thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. However, there was a small problem, he needed to "discuss privately" with the Ghost Diary.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang temporarily stopped borrowing the power of the Music Box Ghost, and the requiem no longer came out of his mouth.

Soga Hayayuki felt somewhat relieved by this, but she also became worried about how to deal with the Ghost Abyss.

Chu Jiang exhaled a cold breath from his mouth, first shattered the ice crystals forming on his body, then called Soga Hayayuki over and handed her a leaflet from his left hand. "You hold onto this, if it starts talking, don’t believe anything, just pretend you didn’t hear it."

Soga Hayayuki looked at this strange flyer and nodded slightly.

Then, Chu Jiang temporarily left the area and walked a distance up; after confirming that Sister Bel couldn’t eavesdrop with the flyers, he patted his diary.

"Please, tell me honestly, is Sleep Talking really heavily suppressed by the Music Box Ghost?"

"You have sealed Sleep Talking before, so you should have some understanding of it, right? And dealing with this ghost would also benefit you, because I might be able to seal it back into this diary."

Of course, the diary didn’t respond to Chu Jiang, as if mocking him for talking to a book like a fool.

Chu Jiang stubbornly opened the Ghost Diary and looked through it page by page, but he didn’t see any response written, which left him speechless.

Finally, Chu Jiang shook his head. "Restrained if facing it directly, not restrained if facing the back. I hope you have some sense, or else don’t blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, Chu Jiang threw the diary into the air, hoping to know the result through this "mystical" way, like throwing a Holy Grail.

The Ghost Diary flipped four or five times in the air and landed safely on the ground, but Chu Jiang’s face turned dark when he saw it.

Because this broken diary, incredibly, landed with its spine upright! And it remained stable on the tilted terrain of the Ghost Abyss.

Chu Jiang picked up the torn diary and was about to flatten it, but then hesitated. What if the Ghost Diary wasn’t mocking him?

It was just showing that the Music Box Ghost could have some influence on Sleep Talking, but it’s not something too severe that can be completely restrained.

After all, based on Chu Jiang’s experience, only his inherited Chu’s Jiang could be considered unaffected; other ghosts would be influenced by the Music Box Ghost, to varying degrees.

As for the Ghost Diary, it needed to harness the power of sealing and counter the power of hypnosis in order to protect itself from being affected.

This also made Chu Jiang more certain of his belief that Sleep Talking was truly deceptive, with a knack for manipulating people’s minds.

After realizing this, Chu Jiang turned back to Soga Hayayuki’s side.

According to Hayayuki, the flyer didn’t speak, but she was interested in the words written on it.

Chu Jiang took a glance and realized that the Chinese characters on the flyer had been changed to Japanese. This made him shake his head repeatedly, as the focus on proselytizing was constant.

"These are harmful, just forget about them."

Then Chu Jiang took the flyer back into his left hand and had a private conversation with Sister Bel, "I’ve thought about it, maybe I can do it according to your plan, but I’ll have to make a big sacrifice. You have to give me back that torn page from the diary."

Sister Bel expressed surprise, "Weren’t you originally planning to snatch it back later? Don’t tell me you didn’t have that in mind when you handed it to me."

Chu Jiang responded calmly, "Then I’ll make a different request. The next time we meet, I want you to dress up as a maid and be a maid for a day, maybe give me some perks…"

Belfast remained silent for a moment before angrily saying, "What kind of asshole request is this?!"

This was the first time in her life that she had ever encountered someone daring enough to speak such impolite words to her!

Chu Jiang chuckled softly, "Just kidding, do I look like the type of nerd who acts all cool? Anyway, let’s discuss this next time we meet."

Speaking of which, Chu Jiang temporarily interrupted the conversation. Just as Sister Bel had said, he would snatch back the torn page from the diary later. After all, having it now was of no use.

Next, Chu Jiang forcefully pulled out the Music Box Ghost from the Ghost Diary, and using the Demon Sword Sky Crying, he cut off the dark iron chain that was attached to it.

It must be said that this sword was truly terrifyingly sharp, it would easily cut through anything.

Of course, after being cut, Ghost Diary started to flow with black blood, showing its aggression and preparing to attack its owner, Chu Jiang.

However, Chu Jiang had foreseen this and quickly took out a sealed "poor ghost" and placed it inside the page that originally sealed the Music Box Ghost.

Since the last time Ghost Diary actively attacked him in the castle, Chu Jiang had been pondering a question: Could a sealed ghost never be taken out again?

Or, perhaps in the rules of the Ghost Diary, it only prohibited having empty spaces on the pages that have already sealed ghosts? So, would it be possible to replace one ghost with another?

What Chu Jiang needed to do now was this experiment.

Furthermore, since Sleep Talking came up with this plan, it shows that it must be aware that the ghosts in the Ghost Diary can be extracted safely and without any risks.

As expected, the newly placed poor ghost was obviously inferior in rank compared to the Music Box Ghost, but the actions of Ghost Diary attacking him stopped.

In the end, Ghost Diary could only reluctantly withdraw the black blood and on the original page, form the solidified Painting Ghost of the poor ghost.
