Chapter 190: Announcing to the World
Chu Jiang sounded relaxed. "I’m fine, currently at the Luohe City branch. Hmm, I have a request, to announce my return to everyone."
"Now?" Liu Xuewen was surprised. He never expected that Chu Jiang’s first request after returning would be this.
"Yes, right now. And also, please deliver a message for me: I am the leader of Luohe City. From now on, this city is under my responsibility."
"Um…" Liu Xuewen hesitated for a moment. "Are you planning to stay in Luohe City for good?"
For talents like Chu Jiang, Research Institute No. 21 would definitely be more inclined to transfer him to a place that better matches his abilities in the future.
Of course, that kind of place would also be more dangerous.
"Yes, I will stay here. Black Sun is sealed in this place, and I don’t trust going to other cities."
Of course, the main reason is that Lin Ancestral Hall is in Luohe City. Chu Jiang also doesn’t want to take up a more dangerous position in another city, and he doesn’t want to be too far away from his family.
It’s indeed not Chu Jiang’s style to make such a high-profile return.
However, after a conversation with Yan Wanli, Chu Jiang ultimately decided to do it this way.
The reason is simple, Chu Jiang knows that he is a "show-off". To put it simply, Black Sun was actually sealed by the old man, not Chu Jiang.
But now Chu Jiang has become famous, and people all over the world think that he is the one who sealed it.
Because Chu Jiang cannot reveal the existence of the Lin Ancestral Hall, in this situation, whether he likes it or not, he must admit that he did it.
Not to mention the current public opinion, it has already escalated. Even if Chu Jiang tries to be more low-key, it won’t work. He is already in the spotlight, and the more low-key he is, the more likely he will attract others to come and test him.
So the safest method is actually not being low-key, but being high-profile!
The more high-profile and arrogant Chu Jiang is, the more fearless he becomes, and people dare not provoke him on his territory.
Of course, some smart people will think about this.
They will suspect if Chu Jiang is pretending to be powerful because he lacks actual strength?
But smart people are smart because they tend to overthink, they even treat their opponents as smart people.
What if Chu Jiang was doing it on purpose? He has the ability, but he pretends to be powerful to deceive others about his true strength.
So, until they are certain about Chu Jiang’s true abilities, they still won’t take any action lightly.
This is a classic example: You think I’m on the second level, but actually I’m on the first level…
Well, actually Chu Jiang isn’t considered to be on the first level either, it’s just that he hasn’t fought against the top Ghost Master of his generation.
Most of the time, Chu Jiang deals with ghosts, so it’s difficult to determine which level of Ghost Master he belongs to. Therefore, he focuses on self-preservation.
The deputy minister didn’t think too deeply about it for the moment. As for Chu Jiang’s request, even if he didn’t bring it up, the research institute would choose an appropriate time to announce it, just not in a very high-profile manner.
"Alright, thanks to you, the disaster in Luohe City has been resolved. The research institute will naturally take care of this kind of small matter for you."
After hearing Liu Xuewen’s guarantee, Chu Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Even if you spread the news directly, people outside might not believe it. They might even suspect that the research institute staged it."
"How about this, should I record a video?"
Liu Xuewen had a slight headache. "Um, this, videos spread so quickly in today’s society. I’m afraid that even ordinary people will see this video."
"No worries, I’ll just show my hands, it’s nothing to ordinary people."
Chu Jiang’s thinking was clear. After becoming famous, everyone would surely pay attention to every move he made, every fight he engaged in.
So, is it possible for Chu Jiang to always avoid using his bloodline power in order to keep his trump card?
Obviously, this is completely impossible. This thing is currently Chu Jiang’s most powerful method, even more terrifying than the Blood Hand Ghost and Left Hand Ghost.
Moreover, the video filmed by Xu Shengtian has already shown some of Chu Jiang’s power characteristics.
Even people who have never met him would definitely avoid close combat with Chu Jiang.
In other words, this move cannot be considered as an unexpected trump card.
And thinking about Yan Wanli’s "disastrous defeat" under Chu Jiang, his strongest ghost called the "Ghost Corpse". It’s possible that even without showing this move, those who are observant could already speculate which series this ghost on him leans towards.
So Chu Jiang decided to actively show the power of the "Chu Jiang lineage".
If there are some knowledgeable people who can recognize these hands like Lin Mohua, it would be even better.
Those who know the reputation of the "Chu Jiang lineage" would never dare to underestimate the contemporary Chu Jiang, nor would they dare to easily come to provoke him.
This is Chu Jiang’s "strategy".
……
After discussing with the deputy minister, Chu Jiang asked Li Xiaolang to be in charge of the filming.
Chu Jiang didn’t go anywhere else. He changed into a serious black suit, with a white shirt underneath. The top two buttons were left undone, and he didn’t wear a tie.
He sat upright in his office, with his hands clasped together, calmly resting on the desk.
Behind him was a glass curtain wall, and through the glass, he could see the serene and beautiful view of the Luohe River not far away.
"Are you ready?" asked Chu Jiang.
Li Xiaolang, who had specially gone to the media company downstairs, nodded slightly after borrowing a DSLR camera.
As a result, Chu Jiang stopped speaking, but his hands, visible to the naked eye, rapidly transformed into a pair of dull, dark blue-black withered palms, resembling ancient corpses.
To be honest, when Li Xiaolang caught a glimpse of those hands, even someone trained like him couldn’t help but shudder instinctively. Luckily, the camera was mounted on a tripod, otherwise he would have to reshoot now.
Those hands gave Li Xiaolang a straightforward feeling – death.
Yes, he could only sense those two words – death, nothing else.
After about five or six seconds, Chu Jiang gave a signal with his eyes, and Li Xiaolang immediately stopped recording.
Rising to check the results on the camera, Chu Jiang was very satisfied. Due to the use of a widescreen aspect ratio similar to movies, this short video didn’t capture Chu Jiang’s head.
Moreover, the focus of the footage was solely on those hands, with everything else just serving as a backdrop.
After exporting the video to the computer and sending it to the research institute, Chu Jiang patiently waited for the news to spread…
Approximately fifteen minutes later, both domestic and foreign paranormal websites and forums, such as Blckdit and GhostQuora, began spreading an explosive piece of news!
The man who had sealed away the S-class ghost has returned! And he even showed off his skills!
The message was sent out by the official account of Research Institute No. 21: Bloodthirsty Chu Jiang has come back and sends his warm regards.
This greeting includes a sentence and a video…
