Chapter 134: A Strange Path for Humans and Ghosts
Before becoming the leader, Chu Jiang once took a psychological test.
Zhou Wenshan asked him: If you became the leader of a city, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself to save ordinary civilians?
At the time, Chu Jiang’s answer was: No.
The reason was: If I want to save more people, then I can’t die too early. The future me will be much stronger than the current me. By then, I will be able to save countless more people.
When Chu Jiang faced this situation, he deeply understood that sometimes it’s not easy to escape and save yourself.
When countless lives weigh heavily on your shoulders, would you easily give up without even trying?
Chu Jiang isn’t completely desperate yet because he has a plan, a plan with a very low chance of success.
If he’s sensible enough, he should give up and not have any illusions.
But if Chu Jiang doesn’t try today, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
At least let me try first, even if I end up dying due to my own choice… Chu Jiang’s eyes gradually became determined.
……
Just as Chu Jiang made his decision, someone or rather a ghost made the opposite decision.
At the border of Luohe City and the Black Sun Ghost Domain, a ghost with nineteen markings on its body appeared at an unknown time.
It looks like a tall black shadow without any facial features.
This is exactly the Ghost Chess Game, or Chess Ghost.
It reached out its right hand and immediately gained a deep, dark chessboard on its hand. The chessboard was filled with black and white chess pieces, as if it was playing a special and intricate game.
The layout of the chess position resembled the "Thousand Layers Treasure Pavilion Formation" from the ancient chess book "Collection of Joyful and Peaceful Games."

Chess Ghost held the chess position and took a step forward. Its body suddenly disappeared halfway, as if it was stepping into the Ghost Domain of the Black Sun.
But at that moment, its actions seemed to anger the ruler of the Ghost Domain. Suddenly, the Black Sun in the sky above Luohe City trembled out of nowhere.
Then, inside the sun, the blurry black baby suddenly extended its right hand.
This hand seemed to penetrate through space and mysteriously appeared in front of Chess Ghost, pressing down on its chessboard.
With a touch from the black baby, Chess Ghost stepped back and returned to the Ghost Domain.
What’s even more terrifying is that the black wooden chessboard started burning with black flames, engulfing Chess Ghost itself. The whole ghost seemed like a burning black torch!
Suddenly, Chess Ghost’s featureless face opened up a pair of cold and emotionless gray eyes.
It silently watched the eerie little hand, then suddenly shrank! It turned into a black chess piece and landed on the chessboard.
Chess Ghost made a move, placing itself on the top right corner of the chessboard, precisely at the pinnacle of the Thousand Layers Pavilion formation. It was the intersection of the 19th vertical line and the 19th horizontal line.
As Chess Ghost transformed and infused it with its eerie power, the black wooden chessboard trembled and managed to break free from the grip of the black baby’s hand.
Following the path set by the pinnacle of the Thousand Layers Pavilion formation, the black wooden chessboard rushed straight out of the Ghost Domain.
The right hand of the black baby silently appeared in front of the chessboard again, but this time its movement seemed slightly slower. It was unexpectedly surpassed by the burning black wooden chessboard, disappearing into the Ghost Domain.
It wasn’t that the Black Sun was powerless, but it was still in deep slumber, not even opening its eyes. The hindrance was merely an instinctive action.
The Chess Ghost disappeared, and the baby’s arm naturally went back.
Also, as time passed and the number of deaths increased, the black baby seemed to grow a little…
——————————-
Chu Jiang didn’t know that a ghost was trying to escape from the Ghost Domain, nor did he know that if he tried to escape, he would definitely be stopped by the Black Sun.
After making sure that the Ghost Domain had sealed off Luohe City, he turned around and walked out. He wanted to find someone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Jiang stepped out of his office, a young and beautiful girl came running and clung to his arm, sobbing.
"Boss, what’s happening? Is it the end of the world? Am I going to die…?"
This was Chen Keai, the company’s finance employee, who was now quite scared.
Chu Jiang turned his head expressionlessly and glanced at her, "Didn’t you hear the previous broadcast? Do as I said."
"As for whether you will die," Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "if you can survive until tomorrow, then you won’t die. If not, then there’s nothing we can do."
"Okay," Chu Jiang gently let go of her hand, "don’t disturb me while I’m working."
Just at that very moment, the company operator, Lin Yun, came running over in fear. He had also heard what Chu Jiang said.
Seeing the leader about to leave, he couldn’t help but speak up, "Mr. Chu, I have a longing in my heart. Can you tell me if heaven has arrived?"
Chu Jiang furrowed his brows slightly. It seemed to be contaminated, but not heavily.
"Of course, I know what to do. I just wanted to ask, is there still hope for Luohe City?"
Chu Jiang shook his head, "I don’t know. All I can do is try my best."
Lin Yun nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Wishing you a victorious start!"
After saying that, he left on his own. He needed to lock himself in.
As for Luo Yifeng, Lin Yun didn’t ask, he had previously been to the office and saw that there was another skeleton here…
Seeing Lin Yun walk away, Chu Jiang also wanted to leave. Chen Keai, who was still standing in place, felt a bit confused. She looked at Chu Jiang’s back and asked, "Boss, will we live forever in heaven?"
She said this sentence unconsciously, with a hope for life.
This made Chu Jiang couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
Chen Keai was also affected. It seemed that everyone in the company was infected, without exception…
Clenching his fist, Chu Jiang turned back and unexpectedly lifted Chen Keai up, carrying her back to the finance room. He said, "Wait for me here. If I don’t come back, it means I’m dead."
Chen Keai was a bit confused throughout the whole process, but she didn’t resist, just nodded.
Finally, Chu Jiang locked the room, destroyed the key, and even moved a pile of heavy objects to block all the exits of the finance room. Unless Chen Keai mutated, it would be impossible for her to escape on her own.
If Chu Jiang’s speculation is correct, as long as they are not exposed to sunlight, even if contaminated, they should not turn into black fire skeletons.
Of course, all of this is based on the condition that Black Sun hasn’t truly awakened yet. Chu Jiang has no idea what will happen when it does awaken.
What will be the ultimate fate of these living ghost servants? Can they really turn back into normal humans…?
