Chapter 123: Curse Tape

Chu Jiang and Xu Yanting didn’t get rid the curse in the usual way, and they each had their own hidden dangers.

From this, we can see how terrible this curse is.

Looking at it now, Chu Jiang even feels that Xu Yanting has more hidden dangers because he can’t understand what exactly is happening to Xu Yanting.

If we say Xu Yanting has been contaminated by ghosts and cursed even more intensely, but he still lives a normal life, only occasionally saying that sentence uncontrollably.

So now Chu Jiang can only be cautious, it’s not like you can just kill someone who is still alive, right? Not to mention, Chu Jiang still wants to cooperate with the Xu family in the future.

The best way is to restrict Xu Yanting’s movements, isolate him for a while and see how it goes.

……

When Chu Jiang arrived at the river, he saw an old man walking with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of a villa.

Seeing Chu Jiang arrive so quickly, Xu Yanting was surprised and asked, “Mr. Chu, did you already solve the ghost problem?”

Chu Jiang nodded and said, “I don’t have any major problems here for now. You don’t need to worry about me, but your condition seems serious.”

Xu Yanting’s face changed and he asked, “But I’m fine, right?”

“The situation was urgent before, and I was afraid you might start thinking too much, so I had to calm you down and ask you to leave first.”

“Now, it’s necessary for me to talk to you about my speculations and concerns.”

Chu Jiang felt relieved in his heart because even though he hadn’t seen Xu Yanting for a while, he didn’t seem to have changed much.

So, while holding the old man’s hand, they sat down on a big stone by the river, and Chu Jiang explained the advantages and disadvantages to him.

After listening, Xu Yanting was able to understand.

“Okay, let’s do as you say. My behavior before was indeed a bit strange. Anyway, you saved my life, so being able to feel this relaxed now is something I never even dared to imagine before.”

“But can you let me make a call to my children and grandchildren? I’ve been remembering your instructions and haven’t called them yet.”

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, “Okay, let’s do a video call. But you have to be in front of me.”

“And you can’t say that sentence, otherwise I will immediately end the call. Can you do that?”

As soon as Xu Yanting heard this, he immediately understood which sentence Chu Jiang was referring to and nodded repeatedly.

The next thing was very simple. Chu Jiang accompanied Xu Yanting to have a video chat with Xu Wanglong and Xu Xiaoxiao for a while.

Chu Jiang’s reason was that although the old man’s illness had already improved, he had to be isolated for a month. During this month, he couldn’t meet anyone else or else the old illness might come back.

So, Chu Jiang asked Xu Xiaoxiao and the others to bring a month’s worth of supplies to the villa. They also built a few temporary checkpoints on the road to the villa and stationed people there to prevent anyone from going to the villa.

Xu Wanglong was fine with what he heard at first. He was happy to see the old man in good spirits. However, when he heard how strict Chu Jiang’s isolation measures were, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for the old man.

But it must be said, Xu Yanting is highly respected in the Xu family. When he speaks, his words are final, and Xu Wanglong quickly agreed under Grandfather’s scolding.

Then Xu Yanting had a brief conversation with his wife, eldest son, and third son. He didn’t go into much detail, only mentioning that he was feeling better from his illness and that they didn’t need to come visit him for now. They would talk about it again in a month.

By the way, Xu Yanting also introduced Chu Jiang to them.

After everything was sorted out, Chu Jiang could confirm that Xu Yanting was still Xu Yanting. As for what happens next, they would have to wait for the results of his isolation. If he returns to normal after a month, they can consider letting him out.

Taking Xu Yanting back to the villa, the old man was still strong and healthy. He assured them that he could live and take care of himself without any problems.

But Chu Jiang didn’t immediately leave, and he continued to accompany the old man in the villa for half a day.

It wasn’t until the headquarters team arrived at Tianfeng Mansion that Chu Jiang left a mobile phone for Xu Yanting, allowing him to contact him in case of any emergencies. Then Chu Jiang left the villa and hurried back to the city.

—————————

When Chu Jiang returned to the company, his assistant Luo Yifeng was already attending to guests from headquarters.

This is a young-looking man who doesn’t seem to be the Ghost Master.

He is dressed in a suit, with a gun at his waist and a silver briefcase beside him. He seems quite careful, not even drinking the assistant’s tea, just waiting for the person in charge to return.

When Chu Jiang enters the room, both of them stand up. After Luo Yifeng nods at Chu Jiang, he tactfully leaves and closes the door for the two.

“Hello, I am Li Xiaolang, a special agent from headquarters, responsible for delivering a special seal to the person in charge of Chu.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Please have a seat and tell me more about this thing.”

They sit down only after shaking hands.

This special agent with a rather anime-like name doesn’t immediately open the box. Instead, he verbally introduces it to Chu Jiang, saying, “This is a Level 2 seal called ‘Curse Tape’.”

This name surprises Chu Jiang a little. “Coconut?”

Li Xiaolang shakes his head, “Just a similar name. Maybe the person who named it had a funny taste?”

“The purpose of this seal is to curse anyone who watches the video tape with the evil spirits inside.”

“But its curse has a strange side effect, it suppresses other curses within the person who watches.”

“Until the curse on the video tape is resolved, other curses cannot take the life of the viewer.”

Chu Jiang was speechless upon hearing this, he thought the headquarters had brought something good, but this was it??

This curse on the video tape is no better than the White Tiger curse that Chu Jiang just encountered, they even have similar principles, both using curses to balance out curses.

“Is it easy to resolve the curse on this video tape?”

“Also, can it suppress the curses of S-class ghosts? If I have several S-class ghost curses on me at the same time, can it suppress them?”

Chu Jiang’s question really stumped Li Xiaolang.

“Well, since we dare to use this cursed video tape, the headquarters must have a solution. But I don’t have the authority to know the specifics of how to resolve it.”

“As for the cursed videotape, I’m not sure if it can suppress the curse of the S-class ghost. When I took on this task, although I read the relevant instructions, this point was not mentioned.”

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, “Then just leave the things here, you can go back and report.”

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolang shook his head, “This sealed item is special support and cannot be left in any branch. If Mr. Chu needs it, he can use it on the spot. Once it’s used, I have to take it back immediately.”

Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly, “Is headquarters really so stingy? You should know that I have only been in office for a few days, but I have already dealt with several supernatural incidents. Because of that, I am currently afflicted with at least two curses.”
