Chapter 181: The Hidden Danger of Ghost Diary

"But Xu Lan dared not come to me to confront the truth, she even feared that I would completely eliminate her, silence her, so this matter has been dragging on until now."

The old master sighed as he spoke.

"So, how do you plan to deal with her?" Chu Jiang asked.

"Continue erasing her memory, let her continue to go through cycles over and over again?"

The old master shook his head, "Using this method too much would render it useless, and she didn’t just realize something was wrong in this cycle."

"I have thought about it, and I will tell her the truth at a suitable time."

"After that, I will offer her a hope, and see if she can accept it. If she can’t, then there’s nothing more I can do. I cannot possibly let her leave."

Chu Jiang, upon hearing this, had no better solution, "Can I convey your words to her then?"

The old man nodded.

Then he reached under the table and took out a black diary.

"This is hope, of course, if mishandled, it can destroy everything, including you and me."

Chu Jiang, watching the well-behaved Ghost Diary, was a bit confused and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Wait," Chu Jiang suddenly thought of a possibility, "Are you trying to seal all the ghosts in the Lin Ancestral Hall inside the Ghost Diary?"

As long as they don’t have to continue guarding the ghosts here, not only will the other members of the Lin family be liberated, but even the old man himself will be liberated.

"Is this thing called a Ghost Diary? It’s quite fitting. How did you get it?"

Hearing this, Chu Jiang briefly recounted his experiences at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, and obtaining the diary wasn’t anything special, mostly just luck.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I’ve examined this thing and found it to be very extraordinary."

"Let me put it this way, before you fully control your own power, don’t seal too many ghosts in this diary."

"Why?" Chu Jiang instinctively asked, "After sealing too many ghosts inside, will it form a special Ghost Domain and shake the seal of the diary itself?"

This knowledge was told to Chu Jiang by Fifth Young Master.

"No," the old master’s expression became serious, "After forming that kind of special Ghost Domain, the diary itself will not be shaken, and its power will even be further enhanced."

"Let me explain, for each ghost you seal inside, it will activate by one point."

"When the day comes and you completely fill it, the ghost deep within the Ghost Diary will escape from the seal and become an independent entity."

"And not only that, the 304 ghosts in the diary will all become its servants, and it will unconditionally control everything."

Chu Jiang felt a bit overwhelmed, can this really happen?

As expected, there aren’t such good things in the world, he had always thought that the negative effects of the Ghost Diary could be tolerated, especially when it came to dealing with someone like himself, it would be its bad luck.

However, unexpectedly, besides not being able to be close to death and attract ghosts, Ghost Diary also has a third negative effect.

But this effect is not so simple to achieve, you must first find a large number of ghost seals to put inside.

"If that kind of situation really happens, what will happen to me as the owner of this diary?"

The old man thought for a moment, "It’s unknown. According to reason, at that time, it won’t be you controlling the diary, but the diary controlling you."

"I also can’t predict what that ghost will do at that time."

"The rules of this diary are very special, really special. Have you seen the chains made of black mist that I had?"

"Actually, it’s not just my own power. You can say that the power of the entire Lin family is used for me, they just don’t know it themselves."

"And the source of these chains comes from a ghost that I controlled when I was alive."

"This ghost and the ghosts in this diary both belong to a certain system related to sealing and blocking."

"But this ghost diary is even more special, it seems to combine with systems related to prophecies and foresight."

"In the end, it even combines with a part of systems related to domination and control."

"In short, this thing is very mysterious, the first time I’ve seen a ghost that spans three different realms at once."

"Remember, you must never let this thing out, because the disasters it brings will be far more terrifying than that Black Sun. Once it escapes, it means that it will own three hundred and four ghosts."

"I even suspect that, maybe it doesn’t need to be sealed completely. After going over a hundred, this diary might undergo further changes, the specifics are unknown."

Chu Jiang nodded in agreement with caution.

Sealing refers to the ability of the Ghost Diary to seal ghosts within its pages; prophecy refers to the ability to know what will happen on the day after a ghost is sealed; as for domination, it refers to the diary holder being able to forcefully acquire a portion of the sealed ghost’s power.

In this way, it can be said to be completely accurate according to what the old master detected.

The old master pushed the diary forward, "Here, take it. You can use it to seal more ghosts and bring a little hope to this world that is increasingly heading towards destruction."

Chu Jiang reached out and took it, looking a bit surprised.

The old man explained, "Soldiers are symbols of disaster, but when used by a sage, they can control the unknown."

"That’s why I said earlier, this diary might also be a hope."

"If you can fully master the power of your lineage, the upper limit will not be weaker than the ghosts in this diary. In fact, you may even surpass them, because your lineage is very special."

"If one day, you can completely control this diary and make it your own, then I will give you all the ghosts accumulated by my Lin family for hundreds of years."

"This is what I meant by ‘taking over’ before. It’s not about imprisoning you in this Lin Ancestral Hall, but about becoming the successor in a more suitable way."

"By then, my whole Lin family can be liberated. I am tired and have no more aspirations. If that happens, you can seal me away as a ghost."

"As for the others, they will also be free to go wherever they want. But you must take on the responsibility. If they do evil, it is your duty to eliminate them and prevent them from causing harm."

Looking at the old man’s weathered face, Chu Jiang wanted to say something, but in the end, all the words turned into a firm "okay."

"And then, Grandpa, I was really confused. What’s the deal with ‘Chu Jiang’s lineage’?"

"As the owner of this Ghost Domain world, I believe you’ve also heard the things I said before; I have no knowledge of my own background and I hope you can give me an answer."

After Chu Jiang mentioned this, Grandpa pondered for a moment… "Do you truly have no knowledge? When your parents found you, did they receive anything? Like a letter, or a piece of paper."

Chu Jiang immediately remembered what his mother had said before, "Yes, there was. In my cradle, there was a sign. My mom said my name was written on it."
