Chapter 189: The Return of the Man
Chu Jiang asked Chen Keai to leave and called Li Xiaolang over, taking out the Ghost Diary when he had a moment.
He flipped to the last two pages and discovered that the cursed female ghost had indeed been sealed inside the diary.
But the last page didn’t have any predicted content, but instead, it was blank.
Is it because this ghost was not sealed inside by itself, but was swallowed by Ghost Diary on purpose?
Or is it that as long as the ghost is not subdued by oneself, no matter in what form it is eaten by Ghost Diary, there will be no corresponding predicted content.
In addition, Chu Jiang tried it and found out that he could actually borrow the power of curses!
Although it was still only fifty percent of the original ghost’s power, this greatly surprised Chu Jiang.
In other words, if he can gather a large number of ghosts and seal them into Ghost Diary, then he can indeed borrow many different abilities.
Of course, the more ghosts that are sealed inside, the higher the activation level of Ghost Diary will be.
This was also warned by the old man to Chu Jiang before, it is best to progress gradually along with his own strength improvement, otherwise it is very likely that it won’t be a person controlling the diary, but the diary controlling the person.
……
While Chu Jiang was thinking, Li Xiaolang, dressed in formal attire, came to the office. He greeted Chu Jiang first and then asked in a straightforward manner, "Is that box with the videotape still with you?"
Chu Jiang was speechless. "So, you’ve been here for more than ten or twenty days just to get back the videotape?"
"I mean, I performed such a great feat, just a Level 2 sealed object. If I want it, the research institute will surely give it to me, right?"
Li Xiaolang maintained a professional smile. "This will have to be approved by headquarters."
"Well, forget it. Later, you and I will go to headquarters together."
"Oh, by the way, are you interested in transferring here to be my assistant? The previous assistant died, and I think you would be a suitable replacement."
Faced with Chu Jiang’s offer, Li Xiaolang simply replied, "It depends on headquarters’ arrangement."
"Don’t worry about headquarters, I’m asking you. Are you willing yourself?" Chu Jiang looked straight into Li Xiaolang’s eyes.
Li Xiaolang nodded calmly. "I couldn’t wish for anything more."
"Okay, sit down first, let me make a phone call to explain the situation."
After speaking, Chu Jiang took out his phone and dialed his dedicated operator’s number.
In no time, a nervous female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, may I ask if this is the person in charge of Chu?"
For the operator, Chen Yuting, it felt like she had been through heaven and hell during this period, and then back to earth again.
First, the S-class event happened, causing Chen Yuting to feel anxious and worried; coincidentally, at this time, the deputy minister informed her to attend a high-level discussion meeting.
In this meeting, Chen Yuting unintentionally mentioned the "meme" and as a result, all the high-level officials at the meeting were exposed to the risk of being cursed by the S-class ghost.
One captain even threatened to kill her, which made her feel desperate for a while.
But soon after, within less than a day, news came from the front line: Luohe City Ghost Domain disappeared, and the person in charge, Chu Jiang, was suspected of sealing the Black Sun!
When Chen Yuting heard this news, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even in the following days, her relationship with the people at the research institute improved a lot.
Everyone believed that Chen Yuting had a bright future ahead, as long as Chu Jiang didn’t suggest replacing her as the switchboard operator. She would continue to hold this position.
Even though they were both switchboard operators, their treatment was completely different because they were responsible for different Ghost Masters.
During that time, Chen Yuting became very popular. She even felt like everyone at headquarters knew her, and wherever she went, people would greet her.
Even the deputy minister was nicer to Chen Yuting and told her to find a way to keep Chu Jiang in the research institute.
However, as time went on, probably around ten days after Chu Jiang disappeared, the enthusiasm of most people around her gradually cooled down.
In the past few days, Chen Yuting felt like she had returned to her old life. Besides familiar people greeting her, everyone else seemed to not know her and ignored her completely.
To be honest, although Chen Yuting felt a bit disappointed in her heart, she didn’t feel let down because this "glory" was not something she had achieved on her own.
Chen Yuting was just worried about Chu Jiang’s safety and whereabouts, hoping that he would appear safely in this world.
Since Chu Jiang disappeared, Chen Yuting went to work every day and her superiors didn’t assign her any other tasks. They just asked her to be in the switchboard room at all times, even when she was off duty, sleeping, or taking a shower, she had to carry her satellite phone.
Today is the nineteenth day since Chu Jiang disappeared. Chen Yuting has been keeping track of the days. But to be honest, when the telephone rang, she was still a bit confused, and even wondered if she was still asleep.
It wasn’t until the second the telephone rang that Chen Yuting reflexively picked it up immediately.
"It’s me. Start building the file. Danger level: S-class, ghost codename [Black Sun]…"
Hearing this familiar and calm voice of the man, Chen Yuting immediately responded with joy, "Okay, okay, I’ll record it right away."
In the switchboard room, each operator sits in a separate glass booth. Although the operators cannot hear each other’s voices, their actions are clearly visible.
At first, nobody noticed what Chen Yuting was doing until the first available operator inadvertently saw that Chen Yuting was talking and recording at the same time, and she was immediately surprised.
Could it be that the man has returned?!
Soon, one after another, the others also noticed what was happening with Chen Yuting, after all, everyone was looking in the same direction, it’s hard not to notice.
Before long, the situation here was quickly known to the superiors, after all, there is surveillance in the switchboard room.
Less than five minutes later, Deputy Minister of the Supernatural Department, Liu Xuewen, hurriedly arrived at the reception room. He used his fingerprint permission to enter the compartment where Chen Yuting was.
After coming in, Liu Xuewen, who was still slightly out of breath, didn’t interrupt the conversation between Chen Yuting and Chu Jiang. He just quietly waited on the side.
He didn’t expect that news of Chu Jiang’s appearance would come from the operator, not from the person responsible for Lin Ancestral Hall.
"Hmm, okay, okay…"
It was only after the basic profile of Black Sun was established that Chen Yuting asked in a low voice, "Hello, may I ask if it’s convenient for you to speak with Deputy Minister now that he’s by my side?"
"Let him listen."
Seeing Chen Yuting handing over the phone, Liu Xuewen immediately took it. "Hello, I’m Liu Xuewen. We chatted last time. May I ask how you’re doing, Mr. Chu, and where you are?"
