Chapter 418: Finding What’s Hard to Find

"Upon hearing this, the grandma remembered something. She said many years ago, she visited a small shrine called ‘Bird’s Universe’ and there was a person from Kyushu who paid a very high price and took away the Honping Bell from that shrine."

"Because of that price, it was unbelievable for that time, so the grandma kept this memory deeply in her heart."

Someone from Kyushu? Upon hearing Uesugi Hinagiku’s description, Chu Jiang immediately asked, ‘Approximately how many years ago was this, and where did that person from Kyushu go afterwards?’

"The old lady said it was in the year when the Taisho era and Showa era were changing, which was probably during the Republican period in Kyushu, right?" Hinagiku recalled.

"As for what happened afterwards, the old lady said the person from Kyushu put the Honping Bell, treasured and valuable, into a black metal box and took it away."

"We don’t know where that person went afterwards, maybe they returned to their own country."

Speaking of this, Hinagiku remembered something else. "Oh, by the way, the old lady also said that when she saw the back of that man leaving, she couldn’t help but be curious about what was inside that metal box, even though she knew what was in it."

After listening, Sister Bel simply said to Chu Jiang, "If we can’t find any clues here, then we might have to go back to Kyushu to investigate."

"That thing originally came from Kyushu, so it’s normal that people have been searching for it for many years, and it’s very likely that it was born as a Ghost Master during the previous supernatural revival."

But for some reason, Chu Jiang was in a daze and seemed to not hear what Belfast was saying at all.

Others also noticed this, and Hinagiku couldn’t help but cautiously wave her hand in front of Chu Jiang. "Hey, are you okay, big brother?"

Chu Jiang let out a sigh, then gave a bitter smile. "I might have a lead, but…"

"Never mind, let’s not talk about it."

Chu Jiang looked at Soga Hayayuki, "No need to investigate further. The information Hinagiku provided this time is very useful. I already know where that thing is, and I will be returning to my country today."

"Wait!" Sister Bel became anxious, "Where is that thing?"

After saying that, she added, "I’ll fly back with you. We can discuss it later."

Chu Jiang waved his hand and nonchalantly said, "The Holy Word Religion has no more value to me. You two can leave, pack up and leave."

Belfast, despite having good composure, was quite irritated by Chu Jiang’s words. On the other hand, Jade had gotten used to this man’s rudeness and was not as angry as expected.

Even Hayayuki and Hinagiku were dumbfounded this time. They thought these two mysterious women were Chu Jiang’s secret allies, but they didn’t expect his attitude towards them to be so poor.

Seeing Sister Bel’s chest rise and fall under her robe, Chu Jiang this time didn’t say it as a joke. It seemed like he really wanted to distance himself from the other party.

After a few seconds, Belfast gradually calmed down. She looked at Chu Jiang with a doubtful look, then without a word, she grabbed Jade and left.

Hinagiku saw this and timidly asked, "Can I go back with you?"

Chu Jiang gently patted her head and said, "Study well, little one. If you want to travel, you have to wait until you graduate. Besides, the world is not peaceful right now. We’ll talk about it when things calm down."

"I’m not a little kid," replied Hinagiku frustratedly, pushing Chu Jiang’s hand away. She straightened her weapon on her chest and said, "I am an adult now, I have reached the age of maturity."

"And I really want to meet my ancestors. I also made a promise to meet Xu Xiaoxiao sister."

Soga Hayayuki also spoke up, "Why not let her go back with the gentleman? She’ll only stay for a few days and someone will come to pick her up. You don’t have to worry."

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "Alright, then I probably won’t have time to take care of you. You’ll have to figure things out on your own."

Hinagiku happily nodded repeatedly, almost hugging Chu Jiang’s arm and giving him a kiss.

In this way, Chu Jiang packed up his things and took Kujo Aino and Hinagiku on a plane back home.

……

On the airplane, Chu Jiang, who was sitting between two beautiful ladies, caught the attention of many passengers.

But Chu Jiang just closed his eyes and rested, thinking about something, something related to the Two Realms Bell.

Without a doubt, that black metal box that the old witch had seen was most likely the one that Chu Jiang had.

If it was just about the appearance of the item, Chu Jiang might still have some doubts. But when you add the feature that makes people curious and instinctively want to open it and take a look, Chu Jiang could only say that it was almost certain.

Not to mention, according to what Expert Chen said, this box was discovered in an abandoned house from the Republic of China era, just like when the Two Realms Bell went missing.

Thinking back to when Chu Jiang couldn’t open this old box using Chu’s Jiang’s power, he had once complained in his heart: if someone told him that there were secrets about supernatural revival hidden inside this box, he would believe it.

Now it seems like his complaint had come true. If the box really contains the Two Realms Bell, it could possibly hold the big secret to ending supernatural revival.

The only problem is, how is Chu Jiang going to open the box now?

Speaking of which, why couldn’t the box be opened? Back then, that person from the Nine Provinces was able to put the bell inside, so theoretically it should be possible to open it, right?

Is it that Two Realms Bell itself resists being obtained by others?

Chu Jiang has some doubts about the Holy Word Religion. Even though Sleep Talking has such powerful prophetic ability, can it not predict that the Two Realms Bell is right beside him?

Also, Belfast can clearly get some information about Chu Jiang through flyers.

Did she not realize that the box she obtained from the research institute matches the description given by Hinagiku?

Or is it that this flyer is not all-powerful? Sister Bel cannot constantly know the specific situation on Chu Jiang’s side. She can only "see" the scene when she talks and communicates with him.

Regardless, Sister Bel’s reaction doesn’t seem to be pretense. This way, Chu Jiang has an advantage when facing the Holy Word Religion.

He will grab the Two Realms Bell before the opponent and prevent it from falling into the hands of Sleep Talking.

Of course, Chu Jiang must first solve a problem: how to open this broken box…

Wait! Chu Jiang, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes!

He thought of something he had never thought of before, the possibility of opening a box.

Can Zhang Haoran open this box? If it is a paranormal force that hinders Chu Jiang and his fellow Ghost Masters from opening it, then maybe Zhang Haoran, who ignores everything supernatural, can actually do it…

This made Chu Jiang determined to go back and try to find this old classmate.
