Chapter 452
by post_apiChapter 452: The Small Victory of the Ghost Diary
At this critical moment, with the fate hanging by a thread, Chu Jiang didn’t choose to chase after the tens of thousands of dead, but focused on the nearest Two Realms Bell!
And considering that he couldn’t even contain the Left Hand Ghost inside him, it was unlikely that Blood Hand Ghost would be able to suppress it in a short time either; Chu Jiang’s thoughts raced, and he immediately took out the black iron box he had before.
When the Two Realms Bell was in the iron box before, not only could Slender Man not find it, but it also couldn’t use its current trick of "awakening the dead" to open the door, probably because the iron box completely blocked the sound of the bell.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Jiang took out the metal box and forcefully grabbed the vibrating bronze bell in the air, and stuffed it back into the box; he realized that he couldn’t return the box to its previous "locked" state.
Even when the box was closed, the sound of the bell could still be heard from outside.
Even though Zhang Haoran used to be able to do it before, when it was his turn to open or close it…it’s too late to go back and find Zhang Haoran now!
In desperation, Chu Jiang had to try something drastic and took out the Ghost Diary.
Although the Two Realms Bell is not a ghost, it’s more like a sealed object; but the Ghost Diary has the power to "control" in its domain, just like last time when it forcibly controlled the Sky Observing Ghost Mirror, making the mirror show movies to Chu Jiang against its will.
So theoretically, the Ghost Diary should be able to forcibly control the Two Realms Bell as well, or at least, keeping it shut should be possible, right??
But when Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary, it didn’t have any reaction at all; even if Chu Jiang tried to stuff it inside the diary, it simply wouldn’t fit.
After all, it’s not a ghost that has been dealt with and has no ability to resist, but an object that doesn’t comply with the sealing rules of the Ghost Diary.
This Two Realms Bell is also mysterious, it doesn’t have a bell spring at all, and at this moment, it’s tightly held by Chu Jiang and can’t move at all; but its bell sound doesn’t stop at all, still echoing throughout the world.
If this thing wasn’t so useful, Chu Jiang would have wanted to try using zombie power to destroy it.
While Chu Jiang was playing around with the Two Realms Bell and Ghost Diary, the tens of thousands of deceased had already reached out their hands to open the door!
Although many Ghost Masters found this situation strange, they started trying to seal these seemingly weak ghosts without receiving any notice.
Even though some of the deceased’s attempts to open the door were interrupted, many others managed to hold onto the door handle undisturbed.
Just as the tens of thousands of portals were about to be opened, Chu Jiang instinctively clenched his teeth and said, "One hundred ghosts!"
This was the condition Chu Jiang proposed to the Ghost Diary. Last time, it tempted Chu Jiang with clues from the family cemetery to seal the third batch of one hundred ghosts inside.
However, because Chu Jiang "overpowered" the Ghost Mirror, the Ghost Diary’s plan failed.
Now Chu Jiang agrees to do it on the condition that the Ghost Diary helps him seal the Two Realms Bell first.
As he presented this condition, Chu Jiang was already pondering in his mind whether the Ghost Diary would take advantage and directly demand that he seal all three hundred and six pages.
This is not impossible, Wudu has its own consciousness.
And since it has been with Chu Jiang for so long, it should be very clear how much Chu Jiang cares about the real world. Even if it took advantage of the situation, in this critical moment, Chu Jiang could only temporarily agree.
After all, even though Wudu, who controls 306 ghosts, is terrifying, now Chu Jiang, who controls Chu’s Jiang’s complete power, also has the confidence to fight. But if Slender Man runs into the real world, then it will be all over.
However, what surprised Chu Jiang was that Ghost Diary didn’t take this opportunity to blackmail him?
After hearing Chu Jiang’s words, black and red blood stains seeped through the diary cover, intertwining into the shape of a prison. Then the Two Realms Bell, held in Chu Jiang’s right hand, flickered and was instantly forcibly absorbed into the diary.
Just at that moment, all the deceased reached out and opened the door!
But the moment the door opened, all the portals disappeared in an instant, like a fleeting dream, because the sound of the bell disappeared…
Seeing this, Chu Jiang nodded and looked at Ghost Diary again. "Can you control the Two Realms Bell to open the door?"
Ghost Diary didn’t answer, it just made the Two Realms Bell on the cover sink and sink into the blank page of the diary. This was clearly an alternative way of giving an answer, it couldn’t.
But at the same time, on the cover of Ghost Diary, there was a painting of Ghost Bride, which was very unreal. It seemed to be a hint from Ghost Diary to Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang shook his head. It was obvious that it meant for him to catch Ghost Bride.
As long as Ghost Diary consumed Ghost Bride and became the absolute ruler of the realm, it could probably control Two Realms Bell and open the passage between the two worlds.
Chu Jiang temporarily put away Ghost Diary and looked forward.
Because countless deceased gathered together to form Slender Man again, it unleashed its Ghost Domain and teleported right in front of Chu Jiang.
It could be said that the conspiracy of the ghosts was thwarted this time. Unless it could defeat Chu Jiang head-on, its goal would never be achieved.
The silent gazes of both sides met again. This time, it seemed like Slender Man was willing to give its all.
The two of them were still in Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, but everything within Ghost Domain started to become old, weathered, and decayed. The stones crumbled, the metal rusted away, the glass faded and cracked. Everything was collapsing and in ruins. It was as if in an instant, this school had gone through hundreds of years.
However, Chu Jiang remained unchanged, because ghosts don’t age or die, only humans do.
At this point, Slender Man showed at least six abilities, including: Ghost Domain with global teleportation, creating ghost servants, devouring, time restart, time passage, and waking the dead.
It has to be said that this ghost is ridiculously powerful, but unfortunately, it encountered Chu Jiang, who is also Chu’s Jiang.
Chu Jiang reached out his right hand and astonishingly inserted it into his own head! He stirred inside expressionlessly and, in the end, managed to drag out a white ghost tiger.
The fierce tiger of the heart, with its mighty and killing intent, paused for a moment, seemingly still unclear who had dragged it out this time.
Chu Jiang looked at it, then pointed at Slender Man across from him and said, "Watch closely here. I will deal with this guy. Your duty is to prevent it from leaving in any way. This is the reading fee I’m collecting from you, and it’s only a part of it. Understand?"
The white tiger glanced at Chu Jiang indifferently, then turned around and pounced towards Slender Man! It seemed… to have misunderstood something. Chu Jiang confirmed once again that this guy really doesn’t understand human language.
As the white tiger launched its charge, a variety of weapons, from knives and guns to swords and spears, appeared in the Ghost Domain. All sorts of things related to battle from ancient times to the present were present, as if facing the ghostly figures and opening a sparkling "Treasure Trove of the King."
This is the manifestation of the white tiger’s ability as the "Master of Weapons."
