Chapter 121: Pollution

Xu Yanting was shocked by Chu Jiang’s reaction. "I, I didn’t say anything, I was just expressing some feelings, giving a final talk before I die."

Then Xu Yanting showed a sorry expression. "I’m sorry, I don’t know why, I couldn’t control my emotions for a moment. Maybe as we grow older, we become more afraid of death," he said self-deprecatingly.

Chu Jiang looked serious. "We will live forever in heaven." This was not the first time he heard this sentence.

The first time was when he sealed the Little Theater. Suddenly, in the drama club at that time, the voice of the priest from the play mysteriously echoed, uttering such a strongly religious line.

In the beginning, Chu Jiang didn’t really pay attention and thought it was just the lingering power of the Little Theater. After the words were spoken, the lingering energy should have dissipated.

But today, Chu Jiang inexplicably heard this line from someone unrelated to the haunting incident in the drama club.

Is this just a coincidence?

"May I ask, sir, do you believe in religion?"

Xu Yanting shook his head, "I don’t believe in all that Western stuff, I believe more in our traditional beliefs, the spirits, the ancestors, reincarnation, the underworld."

This made Chu Jiang even more confused, "Then why do you hope that the place we go after death is heaven?"

This question also puzzled Xu Yanting, yeah, why did he hope to go to heaven after death when he was talking to himself earlier? He even mentioned something about eternal life.

"Um… I don’t really understand either, maybe I’m just getting old and confused," Xu Yanting didn’t think much of it at first, but after Chu Jiang’s question, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his behavior just now was strange and illogical.

Then, something happened that made Chu Jiang involuntarily step back repeatedly in disbelief. He saw that Xu Yanting was undergoing some changes.

Xu Yanting also became frightened when he saw Chu Jiang stepping back, "Did something move?"

Chu Jiang shook his head and said in an incredulous tone, "Have you felt any changes in yourself?"

Xu Yanting hesitated for a moment, and then he realized that he seemed to feel much lighter all over. That cold oppressive feeling seemed to have disappeared without him realizing it.

So, Xu Yanting turned his head to take a look, and indeed, he didn’t see anything behind him. It was clean and empty.

This made him extremely happy, so much that he couldn’t help but stand up and exclaim, "Gone? That strange thing just left by itself?!"

Chu Jiang reluctantly managed to smile and said, "Seems like it."

This unexpected turn of events truly surprised Xu Yanting. One second he was talking about what happens after death, and the next second he was given a new lease on life. His heart started beating rapidly, as if he had become ten years younger!

"Great, great! Ancestors, protect me, ancestors, protect me."

Xu Yanting’s face turned rosy, and if his hands weren’t tied up at the moment, he would have probably kneeled down, clapped his hands together, and bowed a few times towards the direction of the ancestor’s tomb.

Of course, after Xu Yanting’s joy, he didn’t forget about Chu Jiang.

However, when he looked towards Chu Jiang, he could still see a blurry figure lying behind him.

This made Xu Yanting calm down, and he asked, "Mr. Chu, what’s going on? Why was I suddenly saved, but you’re still being haunted by a ghost? Did that ghost just move all its attention to you?"

In Xu Yanting’s mind, could it be that the ghost had originally split its power to deal with Chu Jiang, and now it had moved all its power to try and kill him? This worried him.

"It’s okay, I can handle it." Chu Jiang didn’t explain, as if he agreed with Xu Yanting’s guess.

"Alright, old man, you should be fine now. I’ll take you away from here, and then you should leave this mansion immediately."

"But don’t go towards the city area, and don’t have your family come to pick you up yet. We’re not sure if there’s any danger on you."

"You can rest for a while in Luohe first. Once I deal with this troublesome thing on me, I’ll come to the riverside to meet you."

Xu Yanting looked at Chu Jiang with a worried expression, but he still nodded.

Because he knew very well that he couldn’t be of any help here, and would only be a burden to the other person.

As for going to the riverside first, Xu Yanting had no objections. He was also afraid that the ghost would suddenly reappear and possess his son or granddaughter.

If that were to happen, he might as well jump into the river and end it all, to prevent harming his own descendants.

And so, Chu Jiang took Xu Yanting out of the Ghost Domain and they suddenly returned to the room in the mansion.

Xu Yanting was decisive and left the room with only his cellphone, without taking anything else.

……

After watching Xu Yanting go far away, Chu Jiang couldn’t help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. This situation was too strange.

Was Xu Yanting really that lucky? Did the curse suddenly disappear on its own?

No, in Chu Jiang’s view, this curse may have been replaced by a stronger curse.

Or perhaps, Xu Yanting is no longer human, he has been contaminated; the curse of being haunted wouldn’t target a dead person, so it naturally dissipated.

And all of this should be related to that sentence. Everything happened after Xu Yanting finished saying that sentence.

But what’s going on exactly?? The haunt event hasn’t been resolved yet, how did something that seems even more terrifying suddenly come up?

Could it be the Little Theater? Is this ghost not as simple as Chu Jiang imagined?

But that doesn’t make sense, if the Little Theater is so strange, how could it be sealed by Chu Jiang and eaten by Ghost Diary?

Not to mention that the Little Theater is already inside Ghost Diary, how can it bypass this level zero seal and affect the outside world?

It’s not very likely, the only explanation is: The Little Theater has also been affected, or rather, the character of the priest in the script has been affected.

If that’s true, then it means there is some supernatural source. The power flowing from this source can’t only contaminate living people, but also contaminate ghosts…

It’s really despairing to think about it. What kind of terrifying ghost can contaminate other ghosts…

After sending Xu Yanting away, Chu Jiang immediately began to check himself, even ignoring the presence of the ghost pressing on him for a moment.

First, he checked his mental cognition and confirmed that he was not obsessed with the word "paradise."

Next, Chu Jiang checked his body and everything was normal.

Anyway, being invaded by ghosts is the norm, there is no sign of improvement at all. He even heard faint singing from afar because of the Ghost Domain that had been opened for such a long time.

The most important thing in the end is that the ghostly pressure is still there, and that feeling of suppression is increasing a little bit at a time, trying to completely bend and break him…

This is really unfortunate good news, Chu Jiang hasn’t been contaminated yet, but he’s being almost killed by this ghostly curse.
