Chapter 122: White Tiger Fury
Chu Jiang seems to be stuck in a dead end as he searches for any means he has already mastered.
Life is already ticking away, on one side there's the curse haunting, on the other side there's the unconventional revival of the Little Theater.
If they continue like this, it will only benefit Ghost Diary.
Just then, Chen Yuting called, saying she can get the person in charge of a nearby city to come and support, but those people don't have the ability to deal with special curses.
Also, there is no information about this ghostly pressure ghost in the research institute's database. They can only learn about it from similar cases, and this kind of curse with replicating/infectious properties is extremely dangerous.
If Chu Jiang goes back to headquarters, someone should be able to solve it.
Or if someone from the headquarters brings a special seal to Luohe City, it should be able to help Chu Jiang suppress the curse. But can he hold on until then?
Chu Jiang shook his head, it's no use trying to save someone from afar.
Although he thought this way, he asked Chen Yuting to quickly send someone with the seal, then hung up the phone and started his last attempt.
If this attempt is not successful, then Chu Jiang has one final solution.
The reason he was willing to risk his life to save Xu Yanting is also related to this final solution. He is confident that he can survive with this method.
"Better to protect oneself and avoid the white tiger?"
Looking at the words on both sides of the jade pendant, Chu Jiang shook his head again, "If you can't help me today, then don't bother protecting yourself, just let me smash you."
Holding the jade pendant in his left hand, he stared at it for a while, seeing no movement; so Chu Jiang let it float in the air, then he swung his sword and forcefully shattered it!
As it shattered, a burst of white light suddenly rushed out of the jade pendant! At the same time, the sound of a tiger's roar echoed, chilling to the bone.
Chu Jiang hadn't realized what was happening when he saw an illusionary white tiger with black stripes pouncing towards him!
Without thinking, he instinctively swung his sword, which was still stained with the blood of the Blood Hand Ghost.
But something that made Chu Jiang want to curse happened again. The white tiger went straight through the blade and still pounced on him.
As the white tiger approached, Chu Jiang, who had intended to resist, suddenly froze.
Because he realized that the white tiger disappeared as it pounced. And even more astonishingly, the heavy oppressive feeling he had felt on his back was now gone.
However, Chu Jiang could still "see" the curse of being haunted. The lifeless body was still firmly attached to his back.
Perplexed, Chu Jiang used his Phantom Eyes to see through the curse, and even through the blood-colored robe on himself. Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene:
There was a vivid tattoo of a white tiger on his back. This white tiger, dominating his entire upper body, looked mighty and intimidating, giving off a chilling and eerie sensation.
This made Chu Jiang chuckle bitterly, thinking, "What is this? Another curse?!"
Yes, looking at this situation, the curse of being haunted by a ghost didn't disappear.
So why did Chu Jiang relax? It's unlikely that it was the white tiger helping him. The jade pendant even said to stay away from the white tiger.
It seems that after the white tiger possessed someone, it happened to be on Chu Jiang's back.
And the position that the curse of being haunted targets is also this area. As a result, the curse ended up on the white tiger instead; the curse on the white tiger actually helped protect Chu Jiang from disasters.
Yes, Chu Jiang believes that this is a new curse that was originally sealed in the jade pendant by his ancestors.
In this way, the curse won't harm the descendants of the Xu family. Instead, by wearing the amulet, it can resist other supernatural beings that may invade.
But when the back of the jade pendant appeared with the words "Stay Away from White Tiger," this resistance somehow stopped working.
Chu Jiang wanted to use the jade pendant but couldn't, so in his impatience, he broke it. This caused the white tiger curse to transfer onto him, as if he became the new vessel.
However, no matter what, Chu Jiang doesn't think this is entirely a good thing. It's a mixture of both happiness and worry.
Because of the White Tiger curse, there will be some negative effects, but I don't know what they are yet.
Since the threat of being haunted has temporarily disappeared, Chu Jiang immediately put away the Ghost Domain theater.
Even though Ghost Domain has been open for a long time, the little theater has not yet crawled out of the Ghost Diary. But Chu Jiang's clothes have started to gradually transform into costumes, his hair has grown longer, and his mind is filled with singing.
This is a sign of being eroded by the little theater.
After Ghost Domain was closed, the source of supernatural occurrences was cut off, and Chu Jiang's condition gradually improved.
This made Chu Jiang sigh, wishing that Blood Hand Ghost didn't enter his body and just stayed in the Ghost Diary, so the erosion wouldn't be so severe.
But without this "if," if Blood Hand Ghost hadn't entered Chu Jiang's body, he would have died a long time ago, and there would be no future.
Chu Jiang looked back and saw that the haunting became very blurry again, and no one else could see it. Otherwise, Chu Jiang would have to carry a corpse wherever he went, and he would scare so many people that they would call the police.
Although there is no immediate danger to his life, Chu Jiang didn't ask the headquarters to stop coming, and he doesn't know what sealing item Chen Yuting mentioned. He hopes it can eliminate both the haunted state and the White Tiger curse completely, then everything would be perfect.
If it really can't be done, Chu Jiang might have to find time to go back to headquarters. Speaking of which, if he asks for help because he got cursed due to work, they shouldn't charge him, right? (corrected sentence)
Leaving aside this matter, if the jade pendant can't help Chu Jiang, he plans to leave immediately and return to the city area of Luohe City. (corrected sentence)
He wants to go to a place, yes, it's the Lin Ancestral Hall! (corrected sentence)
Although Chu Jiang has only been inside once, he felt that the place was unfathomable, but he also figured out some tricks. (corrected sentence)
The ancestral hall possesses a power that can suppress fierce ghosts, even his Blood Hand Ghost inside him pretends to be dead and no longer tries to revive when entering. (corrected sentence)
In this way, if Chu Jiang goes in with the ghost curse, the power of the ancestral hall is likely to suppress the curse. Although the curse is not eliminated, he won't die temporarily. (corrected sentence)
Of course, it's because the Lin Ancestral Hall is very mysterious, the previous person in charge, Wang Lei, also died inexplicably, so Chu Jiang is quite cautious about going in there and can only use it as a last resort. (corrected sentence)
He can't just go in there every time something happens, what if he wakes up the old man? So it's better to be careful. (corrected sentence)
After double-checking his own condition and confirming that the influence of the White Tiger Curse hasn't appeared yet, Chu Jiang left the villa and headed towards the outskirts of Luohe. (corrected sentence)
Now, it seems that Xu Yanting's problems have not been completely resolved...
