Chapter 432
by post_apiChapter 432: Heart Tiger
At the moment the white tiger opened its eyes, blood flames immediately surged out of Chu Jiang’s right hand. This is the combination of the Black Sun and Blood Hand Ghost supernatural powers, incorporating the characteristics of both.
However, Chu Jiang didn’t have time to suppress the other party. In that instant of eye contact, the white tiger unexpectedly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
It has officially broken free. The turning point was Chu Jiang’s touch, which disrupted the delicate balance within the "prison" and caused it to officially awaken.
Chu Jiang never expected that the "imprisonment" of the Bai family was so unreliable. It really wakes up with just a touch??
Then he discovered something very scary – after being freed, the white tiger didn’t leave but instead entered his heart.
The white tiger from the west has always been considered one of the four celestial beasts, a symbol of auspiciousness.
However, in the study of feng shui, it is also believed to represent negative things such as disasters, death, lawsuits, promiscuity, deceit, loss of family members, troubles in relationships, and unstable homes.
With this white tiger, which disappeared like smoke, calmly walking into Chu Jiang’s heart.
Chu Jiang learned about all its abilities: Master of Weapons, combat, fierce courage, trickster, and spellcasting.
At the same time, Chu Jiang also learned about the white tiger’s strange rule of killing: it preys on the weak-hearted.
This would easily deceive those who first encounter this ghost into thinking it kills unconditionally; as long as one feels frightened or is naturally cowardly when facing the white tiger, they will be mercilessly killed.
Lastly, besides following this killing rule, the white tiger doesn’t currently have clear "consciousness," but its vague instincts seem to be fascinated by human memories, thoughts, and emotions.
For example, right now, this jerk is browsing through Chu Jiang’s past.
Heart Tiger has the ability to move between hearts. It can understand people’s emotions and decide whether or not to kill them.
When Heart Tiger is moving, you can also know everything about it. Actually, this ghost is just like a blank page. Besides what was mentioned before, there’s nothing else worth mentioning.
Of course, there’s one condition for humans to understand Heart Tiger’s information: you have to still be alive.
Once Heart Tiger enters someone’s heart, it decides whether or not to kill them. If it decides to, the target is almost instantly killed, without any time to comprehend anything about Heart Tiger.
This means there’s no time to adjust your mindset or make yourself brave. Basically, the moment you see Heart Tiger, your fate is already determined.
For now, Chu Jiang should be safe because he is neither scared nor weak.
But this situation bothers Chu Jiang a lot, having a ghost walking around in his own heart.
Although it doesn’t have feelings, memories, or consciousness, it feels eerie. Yet, at the moment, he can’t think of any way to get rid of it.
And it would be very passive, who knows if Heart Tiger would suddenly go crazy and directly attack Chu Jiang’s consciousness.
Chu Jiang’s mind was spinning, the White Tiger could enter one person’s mind and then enter another person’s mind; in other words, if Chu Jiang goes to crowded places, the White Tiger might leave.
But let’s not talk about that, doing so would be like creating a disaster; actually, whether the White Tiger leaves or not depends on itself, not on Chu Jiang.
What exactly is this White Tiger?
After being trapped by the Bai family for so many years and being exploited as a source of power, even if you don’t have human emotions, you should at least notice that there are a bunch of humans using the curse marks you’ve spread to borrow your power, right?
Shouldn’t you find a way to retrieve your power first instead of wandering around in my heart?
While Chu Jiang was pondering, suddenly! Through the Ghost Domain, he "heard" the distant sound of screams. Within a few breaths, dozens or even hundreds of white lights rushed in from outside and all at once poured into the tattoo on his back!
With all these white lights rushing in, even though Chu Jiang had already turned into Chu’s Jiang, he couldn’t help but let out a groan. He felt like his back was being burned by a red-hot iron.
As the white lights rushed in, Chu Jiang’s clothing on his back shattered, and a fully manifested White Tiger was roaming behind him, even walking from behind to the front, as if following the movements of its real body.
Chu Jiang didn’t have time to deal with this wandering curse, he first checked on Kujo Aino’s condition.
Now love’s tattoo on her body disappeared, and she fainted, just like Bai Xiaofei before.
It is estimated that other members of the Bai family are also in the same situation. The curse on their bodies was stripped away by the White Tiger in an instant and merged into itself.
Actually, the White Tiger could have easily killed them during this process, but it didn’t.
Of course, this is not about "kindness." Can you talk about kindness to a ghost?
Chu Jiang realized that the White Tiger is clearly more interested in him now. So, it didn’t have time to determine whether each target was suitable to be killed. Moreover, it just sensed Chu Jiang’s doubts earlier, which is why it withdrew all the curse marks.
The curse lingered on Chu Jiang for a while and finally disappeared without a trace.
Strictly speaking, it was taken back into the White Tiger’s true form, but this ghost still remains in Chu Jiang’s heart.
This made Chu Jiang want to curse. Since not much time had passed, he decided not to think anymore and directly used "Time Reboot" from the Black Sun!
If everything starts from scratch, Chu Jiang wouldn’t use six wooden boards to suppress the White Tiger, nor would he wake it up.
But White Tiger found out about Chu Jiang’s thoughts and immediately used his "specter" ability to control Chu Jiang, trying to stop him from taking action on this idea.
Chu Jiang clenched his teeth, and his eyes gradually turned a layer of blood red, the exact same color as the White Tiger’s eyes…
Deep in his throat, he let out a growl of discontent, and then an incredible scene unfolded.
Chu Jiang’s dark zombie body started spreading and corroding from his neck and collarbone area.
In fact, Chu Jiang had once completely transformed into Chu’s Jiang, it happened during the process of handling the Black Sun, when he lost consciousness and was on the brink of death, Chu’s Jiang’s instinct briefly took control of his body, suppressing Black Sun’s resistance.
At that time, the old man couldn’t figure it out and it was only after Chu Jiang knew the truth that he understood.
However, this time was different. Chu Jiang consciously allowed himself to fully transform into Chu’s Jiang.
If the previous level was at 90%, now Chu Jiang was gradually pushing forward in the direction of 90.1%, 90.2%, 90.3%… with a little more force.
If he could choose, Chu Jiang would not want to take this risk right now; he would prefer to go back and try it in private when no one was around, so that he could stop if there were any problems.
But now, this white tiger is really strange, and Chu Jiang’s methods and seals cannot penetrate its heart.
If it wants to use time to restart or infect with memes, the white tiger can control people’s hearts and make them willingly obey its commands. In that case, perhaps only the complete form of Chu’s Jiang can resist it…
