Chapter 129: Are You Kidding Me?!
But it's alright, Chu Jiang has already figured out who to look for next.
After reading the information about the three foreigners, Chu Jiang unexpectedly came across a photo of a mysterious young man wearing a black windbreaker and a black mask.
Isn't this Yun Changfeng? Did this kid come to Luohe City too? And it seems like he just arrived yesterday.
Without hesitation, Chu Jiang gave him a call and said, "Hey, it's me. How did you end up in Luohe City?"
Yun Changfeng was also a bit surprised on the other end, and he replied in a slightly deep voice, "My friend is a local Ghost Master here, and he's encountered some trouble. He asked for my help."
"By the way, did you become the person in charge of Luohe City? I heard from a Ghost Master named Zhao Dahe about the new person in charge here."
"Yes, is he your friend?" Chu Jiang asked.
"No, a friend of a friend," Yun Changfeng explained. "There are only three Folk Ghost Masters in Luohe City, and they are in contact with each other. My friend is one of them and his name is Zhang Xiaogui."
Chu Jiang was familiar with this. Luo Yifeng had shown him information about the local Folk Ghost Masters before.
"What exactly happened to your friend? Is it a supernatural event? Why didn't he report it to the person in charge?"
Yun Changfeng's arrival during this sensitive period made Chu Jiang have to ask a few more questions.
"Well, Zhang Xiaogui suspects that he is being targeted by an unknown ghost. Lately, he has been unknowingly murmuring a phrase."
"Something like 'we will live forever in heaven,'" Yun Changfeng mentioned, also feeling uncertain.
When Chu Jiang heard this, his face changed drastically! Here it comes again, he had never had any interaction with this Zhang Xiaogui...
"Zhang Xiaogui himself is not sure if it's a ghost causing trouble. Therefore, his first thought was not to communicate with the new person in charge whom he had never met, but to ask me for help."
"I happened to be in the neighboring city of Luoxi City, so I came over for a visit."
"What's wrong? Is this situation serious?" Yun Changfeng believed that Chu Jiang's call was not just for catching up.
After a moment of silence, Chu Jiang said, "It is indeed quite serious. I suspect that the ghost behind this incident has the ability to contaminate others, possibly through the sentence you just mentioned."
"What happened to your friend is not an isolated case, and you need to be careful too, because you are also at risk of contamination."
Yun Changfeng also fell silent for a moment. "So, what do you think I should do?"
"As a friend, I suggest you leave Luohe City. Leave now, the farther the better."
"As the responsible person, I hope you stay and help me. Although I don't know much about your abilities, Fang Tianci values you so much, there must be a reason."
Yun Changfeng laughed. "You're very straightforward. How about this, give me some time to think about it, and I'll also discuss it with my friend."
"Alright, but I don't allow you to take him out of Luohe City. You should understand my concerns."
"Of course, I won't make things difficult for you."
And that's how Chu Jiang and Yun Changfeng's conversation temporarily ended.
Then Chu Jiang immediately called the operator Chen Yuting, his tone very serious. "Emergency, you immediately report to the superiors. Luohe City may be experiencing, or about to experience, a major supernatural event of the highest level, A-class."
"The impact caused by this event might even be greater than the one at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School. Notify headquarters to send personnel immediately, preferably someone of captain level."
"Also, I'll send you some information about a few foreigners later. Have headquarters start investigating their whereabouts immediately. I suspect that they may be connected to an S-class event, the 'false god,' from overseas, and related to this incident in Luohe City."
Chen Yuting became nervous, especially when it involved A-class and an S-class event from overseas. "Okay, okay, I'll report it immediately."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jiang let out a long breath. Although based on the existing evidence, his actions seemed a bit exaggerated.
But upon finding out that there was more than one "living ghost servant," Chu Jiang knew things were troublesome.
Xu Yanting, as the source of infection, he could still control; with Yun Changfeng on Zhang Xiaogui's side, he could somewhat control the situation.
But what if there are more than two sources of infection in Luohe City right now?
There is a saying that goes like this: when you find a cockroach in the room, it means that the dark corners are already crowded.
Not to mention that Chu Jiang has discovered more than one. If all the sources of infection are not found, this supernatural contamination may even spread to other areas.
This is already on the same level as a ghost curse, or even a higher level event. At least Chu Jiang hasn't heard of anyone else besides Xu Yanting and himself being affected by the ghost curse.
Besides, it was only by using supernatural powers to deal with the curse that one would be affected; as for Xu Yanting and Zhang Xiaogui, they probably haven't even met.
......
In the room where Chu Jiang was, there was only him.
After thinking for three minutes, Chu Jiang locked the door, took out the sealed jar that he always carried with him, and the Ghost Diary.
It couldn't be postponed any longer, even if it was just a warning, Chu Jiang wanted to see what the Ghost Diary predicted for today.
With ease and familiarity, Chu Jiang took out the Stretching Ghost from the pottery jar and fed it to Ghost Diary. He had a sense of being deceived by the other side, but he had no choice...
When the drawing of Stretching Ghost appeared in the diary, the diary turned its pages on its own.
But then, something incredible happened that made Chu Jiang feel amazed. Lines of blood-red words appeared rapidly on the diary, repeating, "I am in heaven, I am in heaven, I am in heaven..."
Even after the entire page was filled with those four words, Ghost Diary didn't stop.
New words kept refreshing at the top, while the words at the bottom kept getting squeezed and disappearing, as if the whole diary had been infected with a computer virus or crashed.
"Are you playing with me?!" After a whole minute, Chu Jiang finally couldn't bear it any longer and gritted his teeth as he picked up the diary in front of him.
At the same time, he unexpectedly felt a senseless fear in his heart. He had never been so scared even back in school.
This was the fear of the unknown...
When Chu Jiang picked up the Ghost Diary, not knowing if it heard his words, the frenzied refreshing of words finally came to a halt.
Then all the writing gradually faded and disappeared one by one.
After it was completely emptied, simple two sentences appeared on the diary:
[October 13th]
[Today, Luohe City is haunted, and all the people in the city have died, including me.]
