Chapter 436: Completely Transformed Into Chu’s Jiang

The Ghost Diary spun in the air for several rounds and finally landed with a loud thud on the ground.

This time, it landed on its spine again, which frustrated Chu Jiang. He resisted the urge to smash the book and picked it up, saying, "Are you saying that you can’t tell if there are ghosts inside?"

At that moment, the Ghost Diary fell from Chu Jiang’s hands, landing with the back side up.

This confused Chu Jiang. Was it contradicting his words? Proving that he was worthless? Then give a clear result!

Thinking this, Chu Jiang stubbornly threw the diary again, and once again it landed on its spine. This meant it wasn’t a coincidence.

Since the answer is not "yes" or "no", can it be in a state of both at the same time? Is this Sleep Talking the Schrödinger’s cat?

No, wait!

Chu Jiang suddenly remembered the precognitive ability that Sleep Talking had shown in the electronic world before.

Its precognition is very unique. It doesn’t give a vague answer like Ghost Diary, but instead shows countless possibilities of the future in great detail right in front of your eyes.

It allows you to know in advance what kind of outcome each choice will bring.

It means there is both a macro and a micro level of precognition. Only when the authority of the two ghosts combines can they become the absolute rulers of the realm of precognition.

In addition, Sister Bel once said, "God doesn’t exist in our current space-time when everything comes to an end."

In that case, is it possible that Sleep Talking can hide its true self within one of the predicted results of the future?

This doesn’t mean that Sleep Talking is really time-traveling and going to the future; in reality, the place it goes to is only a hypothetical future, purely a concept not based on reality.

If we substitute these results into the two pages of the diary, it would be: In some future, Chu Jiang defeated Sleep Talking and sealed him back into the Ghost Diary.

Sleep Talking’s true self is now within these results.

But now, Chu Jiang cannot directly find Sleep Talking in the diary because he is not in the present diary, he is in the future diary.

Chu Jiang rubbed his forehead in frustration and summed it up by saying: The ghost hid itself in a future that it assumed.

So, what should Chu Jiang do now? Should he put away the remaining pages of the diary?

But who knows when Sleep Talking will come out of the diary and attack him.

Unless… Chu Jiang puts the two pages of the diary back together in the Ghost Diary as soon as possible. That way, it would forcefully create an established fact.

Even if Sleep Talking returns from the future to the present, he still needs to emerge from the diary before he can attack Chu Jiang.

But now that the remaining pages of the diary have returned to its original form, Sleep Talking can only come out if he passes through the Ghost Diary.

Even when Sleep Talking returns to the present, his ability to foresee will be taken away by the Ghost Diary; by then, he will be even less likely to escape from the diary and will be sealed inside, becoming a Painting Ghost under Chu Jiang’s control.

As a result, Chu Jiang’s biggest risk lies in the short period of time when he picks up the torn page and puts it back into the diary.

Chu Jiang hesitated as he glanced at the Ghost Diary, should he make a deal with this guy?

Actually, it’s not a big problem to just put the two blank torn pages back together. Although it fixes the flaw in the Ghost Diary, there will be no ghosts inside, so it’s alright.

But if there’s an additional S-class Sleep Talking, it will further increase the power of the Ghost Diary, and Chu Jiang is afraid that he won’t be able to control him in the end.

After thinking it over, Chu Jiang finally made up his mind.

He decided to fully transform into Chu’s Jiang!

To strike while the iron is hot and not to hesitate is not Chu Jiang’s style. Since Sleep Talking doesn’t want him to do it, he’ll do it on purpose; let’s see if this ghost can’t resist and pops out from the torn pages of the diary.

By the way, if Chu Jiang had the Music Box Ghost with him now, his chances of winning should be a bit higher.

That thing doesn’t completely control Sleep Talking, but it should have some effect, more or less.

However, now, Music Box Ghost Town has only been under Ghost Abyss for a few days. If Chu Jiang goes to get it back, Ghost Abyss will probably restore itself and expand within one or two hours.

I guess this is also the reason why Sleep Talking chose to act at this time. If he waits for another month, his chances of winning will be even lower.

……

After a final glance at those two pages of the diary, Chu Jiang entered Chu’s Jiang transformation again.

This time, the dark green zombie body continued from the previous boundary and spread further up from Chu Jiang’s chin.

The more determined Chu Jiang’s will, the faster it spread.

After a few minutes, half of Chu Jiang’s skull had already turned into a dark green mummified state. Just as the change was about to pass his eyes, the remaining pages of the diary moved!

One of the pages floated up, facing Chu Jiang, and then a gray mist appeared on the page, emanating a eerie sound.

This sound was like a deep murmur, and it seemed like crazy Sleep Talking; ordinary people who heard it felt like there were iron nails stirring in their heads, the pain was indescribable.

But Chu Jiang just looked expressionless across the table, feeling his thoughts getting colder and colder, as if one side of him as a human was being suppressed endlessly.

The process of Chu’s Jiang transformation didn’t stop because of Sleep Talking’s appearance; therefore, Sleep Talking, who appeared in his true form for the first time, had to passively attack Chu Jiang.

Because countless possibilities were showing before him, the later it acted, the lower its chances of winning.

Suddenly, the invisible voice of Sleep Talking filled the entire Ghost Domain, and everything around started to change frantically; very soon, Chu Jiang arrived in the "future", a hypothetical future.

In this future, although Chu Jiang completed the Chu’s Jiang transformation, there was an unexpected occurrence! The White Tiger hidden in his subconscious burst out.

The ultimate outcome was: while Chu Jiang and the White Tiger were fighting each other, Sleep Talking took the opportunity to snatch the diary from Chu Jiang’s hand and complete the temporary retreat.

In fact, when the White Tiger suddenly appeared in Chu Jiang’s conscious surface, it paused noticeably, as if it hadn’t figured out what had happened yet.

With a sudden, complete Chu’s Jiang transformation, Chu Jiang became completely stunned.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before. He felt very awake, with his own will and memories from the past. There was no other consciousness competing for control of his body.

Chu Jiang even felt a power he had never had before!

But in this state, he was completely cold and merciless. Even if his foster parents, his sister Chu Le, Chen Keai, and Belfast were standing in front of him, he couldn’t summon any emotions.

This doesn’t mean Chu Jiang would harm them, of course he wouldn’t do that. He would even protect them.

However, the urge to protect that Chu Jiang felt in this state wasn’t driven by emotions, but by reason and analyzing his past memories.

This made him even "afraid" of himself in this state.

Similarly, the current Chu Jiang doesn’t actually experience fear. It’s just that he believes, from a rational standpoint, that if he still had emotions, he would feel worry and fear.
