Chapter 191: Ancient Inheritance
As soon as Chu Jiang’s return message came out, it immediately spread like crazy on the internet and attracted a large number of Ghost Master fans from both domestic and international audiences.
With the explosive increase in video views, all kinds of discussions also emerged.
The most discussed topics domestically were naturally on the paranormal forum:
"I told you Chu Jiang wasn’t dead yet. A Ghost Master as powerful as him wouldn’t die so easily. Look, now he’s back alive and kicking, even the research institute is cooperating with him…"
"Wow, we have someone to carry on the legacy in our region! But this guy isn’t very humble, his ‘greeting’ probably means he’s the boss of Luohe City, right?"
"You guys don’t understand. It’s just youthful recklessness. If someone has real skills, they naturally want to show off."
"Haha, I told you Chu Jiang couldn’t die. What about those who said they would do headstands while washing their hair or live stream themselves eating *? Come on, which platform, give me the live stream room number."
"What does Chu Jiang’s video mean? Is it to prove that it’s really him? I didn’t really see it, although those hands are indeed terrifying, but wasn’t his code name ‘Blood Hands’?"
"Do not be fooled, I really don’t believe Chu Jiang is alive and appearing. Most likely, the research institute is just trying to save face and playing tricks…"
Even though it was just a video, the mysterious nature of Chu Jiang’s dark green-black hands still came across to the viewers.
That feeling of facing death, to be honest, cannot be conveyed through ordinary magic or special effects videos.
Of course, for some Ghost Masters, they admit that the video is extraordinary, and the origin of those hands seems quite remarkable.
However, they don’t believe that this can prove Chu Jiang’s identity.
But for another group of people, the information presented in this video is of great significance.
Some even suspect that it is transmitting some kind of signal.
……
In a hidden place called the Heart Island in a city called Sincerity, this is the headquarters of the Sincerity Company, unknown to the public.
A man with white hair sat in a quiet and luxurious villa. He shook a glass of red wine in his hand and murmured, "Chu Jiang’s lineage has returned to this world again. No wonder he has the ability to deal with S-class ghosts…"
In front of him, a laptop was playing a video of Chu Jiang’s changing hands in slow motion at 0.1 speed.
It seemed that this man wanted to capture every detail about these hands from this short video.
……
Qingcheng Mountain, situated in a separate space, is home to the Four Emperors’ Temple.
Everything here was arranged as if it were ancient, tranquil, and unique.
In a side hall of the temple, a young Taoist priest had just finished playing the video of Chu Jiang for an old, thin-faced Taoist.
"Chu Jiang, is he truly a part of this lineage? I always felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but thought it was just a coincidence. It seems that there are indeed not so many coincidences in this world…"
Listening to the old Taoist’s murmurs, the young Taoist dressed in a blue robe asked, "Should we find a chance to interact with him?"
The old Daoist shook his head slightly and said, "Our lineage and Chu Jiang’s lineage have little connection, so let’s not rush."
"And I suspect this person has a hidden motive. Does he think it’s time for our ancient Ghost Master heritage to appear before the world?"
"But I feel it’s not yet the right time. We should at least wait until the situation becomes uncontrollable and the external circumstances deteriorate before revealing ourselves."
The young priest nodded empathetically and said, "I went out to help people get rid of evil spirits, while also promoting the reputation of our Four Emperors’ Temple. But to my surprise, the people from Research Institute No. 21 labeled us directly as a ‘cult.’ It’s truly unjust."
"Let’s take it slow and see how others react first."
……
In a deep mountain within the jurisdiction of Zigui City, a part of it near the main transportation route to the outside world has been developed into a tourist scenic area. However, deep within the mountains and waters, a portion of ancient buildings from several hundreds of years ago still remains.
This place is not open to the public and has been kept separate since its initial planning and construction.
Not far from the buildings, there is a picturesque river called Jiawanxi. A beautiful woman in white clothes is washing her long hair by the river.
Just then, not far away, a stylish girl around sixteen or seventeen years old ran over and shouted, "Cousin, I saw something really interesting!"
"Come over and take a look, I don’t know if it has anything to do with the person you’ve been looking for."
The lady in white didn’t turn around, but simply responded, "Got it."
……
The headquarters of the research institute, located on the fourteenth floor underground, also the final floor.
In a dim room, an old man dressed in a grey robe resembling a teacher from the Republic of China era, chuckled lightly after watching a video being played on the opposite wall.
"Oh, little one, you’re quite conspicuous; but your actions may be misunderstood by many."
————————-
Some parts of the Ghost Master organization in the country recognized the powers Chu Jiang displayed. However, the majority of people, whether domestic or foreign, who didn’t recognize him, aren’t fools either.
When people had doubts, there was another group of people calmly analyzing.
On a supernatural forum, in a highly popular post with many likes, it was written like this:
"The research institute cheating? Are they out of their minds? Let’s not even talk about how this benefits the research institute. This is something that can easily be proven, right?"
"If Chu Jiang really comes back, then I believe he will soon appear in front of everyone. And it seems like he won’t be transferred from Luohe City."
"At worst, after the restrictions are lifted, you can go to Luohe City and see him in person."
"Of course, whether you can see him or not is not certain. I can only advise you not to cause trouble. After all, Chu Jiang’s intention is very clear. If you make trouble on his territory, you should first consider your own strength."
In another highly popular video analysis post, it was written like this:
"I can confidently say with 120% certainty that the person in the video is Chu Jiang. Some people may not understand why he is showing his hands rather than revealing his codename, ‘Bloody Hands’."
"The reason is simple. Do you remember the first leaked video from Luohe City? One of the ghosts attached to Chu Jiang has given him extraordinary close combat abilities. He can even twist the hands of an S-class ghost."
"So I guess, Chu Jiang showing these scary hands should be some kind of intimidation. Even behind these hands, there are other special meanings, just by taking a glimpse, you can recognize that kind."
