Chapter 196: The Curse Transference Mechanism
During their conversation, the bulletproof car unknowingly drove into the headquarters of Research Institute No. 21, located in the mountain.
After Chen Yuting got off the car, she led Chu Jiang towards the mysterious department on the fourth floor.
Before receiving the official award, there is a process of negotiation and inquiry.
Simply put, the research institute is curious about how Chu Jiang managed to seal the S-class ghost. So far, he has only provided a file, and many details are still unknown.
As they made their way to the mysterious department, many employees of the research institute glanced over, whether they were working, passing by, or resting in the lobby on the first floor.
The expressions in the eyes of the people varied, some curious, some excited, some surprised…
Is that Chu Jiang over there? He looks very young, and in terms of appearance, one could say he’s better than most Ghost Masters, except for his slightly pale complexion and lack of dark features.
Those who had seen him before were busy introducing Chu Jiang to their friends and colleagues nearby. They described how he knocked down a certain captain when he first came to the headquarters.
Along the way, some people greeted Chen Yuting from a distance. Of course, they all understood the rules and none of them approached for a conversation right away.
Chen Yuting simply nodded in response.
Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang said, "You’re quite popular, huh."
"It’s because of you," Chen Yuting said, then she explained how people’s attitudes towards her had changed during this time.
This made Chu Jiang chuckle, "What if I die tomorrow then?"
"That would only bring things back to the way they were before, and if you just ask to change telephone operators, I believe you would get the same result."
"Let’s not change for now, at least you haven’t made any mistakes yet."
Upon hearing Chu Jiang’s words, Chen Yuting inexplicably felt reassured.
……….
Bringing the person to the office of the Deputy Minister of the Supernatural Department, Chen Yuting proactively closed the door and waited outside.
Chu Jiang looked at Liu Xuewen with some confusion, who had been waiting for a long time. He sat down at the desk and asked, "Why does the deputy minister do everything? Where is the minister?"
Liu Xuewen let out a bitter smile and pointed upward. "The minister was sent by the higher-ups. He is not familiar with our industry, so he doesn’t interfere with the experts."
"So I do the work and take the blame, while he only needs to be responsible for the overall direction and report to the higher-ups regularly."
Chu Jiang nodded. After all, it was an official organization.
"Let’s have a casual chat. I need to prepare a summary report for this S-class event."
"Alright," Chu Jiang organized his thoughts and began describing the detailed experiences after the arrival of the Black Sun.
He didn’t hide the existence of the Ghost Diary. He had already mentioned it when he requested urgent support last time. The other party knew that he could somewhat predict danger.
Chu Jiang talked about discovering the pattern of the killings, warning the public, and then mentioned the incidents related to the Red Silk Ball.
He talked about searching for Yun Changfeng, discovering the rampage of the Left Hand Ghost, and successfully sealing it, as well as the process of transplanting it into his own body.
He talked about getting the red ball and then about the battle with Black Sun.
Finally, he talked about how he lured Black Sun into the Lin Ancestral Hall.
Liu Xuewen recorded and admired Chu Jiang’s bravery and decisiveness.
In that dangerous situation, he even sealed a ghost of at least B-level or higher and balanced it with the ghost inside him.
When Chu Jiang mentioned the temple, Liu Xuewen couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the deal with that temple? Does it have any connection to the 16th ancestor, Lin Daosheng?"
"According to the research institute’s records, there was once a Ghost Master family in Luohe City’s history."
"This family was surnamed Lin, but after the Republic of China ended, the Lin family in Luohe vanished from history, leaving no trace of their heritage."
Chu Jiang’s eyes flickered slightly. Sure enough, Research Institute No. 21 had some hidden information about the ancient Ghost Master lineage. In other words, there might be people in the institute who recognized him as a descendant of the Chu’s Jiang family.
"It’s simple, the Lin family in Luohe hasn’t completely disappeared yet."
"At that time, I brought the Black Sun into the ancestral hall as a last resort, hoping to use the unique features of the place to at least suppress the opponent."
"But in the end, the two of us were both sucked into a mysterious space inside the ancestral hall together."
"During that time, the Black Sun activated abilities similar to time reversal, forcefully escaping. But within a minute, the two of us were sucked back in."
"In this space, I saw a very terrifying ghost, no, countless terrifying ghosts."
"Inside the Lin Ancestral Hall, there is a supernatural phenomenon, suspected to be left behind by the Luohe Lin family from back then, it is a special seal."
"I made some agreements with the scariest ghost there, Lin Daosheng, Mr. Lin."
"It can help me seal the Black Sun, but in return, I have to promise it that I will never bring any ghosts into the ancestral hall again."
"And as the manager of Luohe City, I have the obligation to protect this place for it. Otherwise, if something happens to the Lin Ancestral Hall, countless ghosts will pour out from there, turning the surrounding area into a human inferno."
Liu Xuewen looked shocked, "That ghost, it… has the consciousness of a living person?"
Chu Jiang shook his head, "I’m not sure either, but I know the other party seems to have a hint of humanity, but it’s very, very dangerous."
"I also mentioned whether the research institute should help, but it firmly refused. Even the reason it is willing to communicate with me is because I am part of the Chu’s Jiang family."
"I can’t guarantee what would have happened if someone else had been sucked in at that time."
"What do you mean by ‘part of the Chu’s Jiang family’?" Liu Xuewen was a bit confused.
"You don’t know? Never mind then. Just write however you want. Mr. Xu from the research institute should understand the meaning of this sentence."
Liu Xuewen vaguely felt that this was a crucial piece of information, so he recorded everything truthfully.
"There’s nothing much to say about the others. Black Sun is currently sealed in the Lin Ancestral Hall, which is why I value this place so much."
"I have a duty and responsibility to guard this place, so please don’t transfer me to some chaotic place. Otherwise, if something happens to the Lin Ancestral Hall, it will cause a calamity scarier than an S-class event."
Liu Xuewen nodded cautiously, "I will provide a detailed report on the specific interests and consequences. The higher-ups should not act recklessly and will respect your opinions."
"By the way, what is the solution to the Curse Tape?"
Although the curse has now been taken in by the Ghost Diary, and Chu Jiang can borrow the corresponding powers, he is still not very clear about the specific solution to the original seal.
"It’s very simple, within seven days, copy the videotape and let someone else watch it, then the curse will be transferred to the new viewer." Liu Xuewen knew that Chu Jiang wanted this videotape and had already decided to give it to him as part of a reward.
Chu Jiang frowned slightly, "So, the curse won’t disappear, right?"
"But since the research institute is confident in finding a solution, it means that there is at least one person here who isn’t afraid of this curse. He can even transfer the curse back into the videotape."
"But I have a question. If the ghost in the videotape breaks free from the seal and becomes an independent entity, will copying the videotape still be useful for the cursed person?"
"Um…" Liu Xuewen was momentarily unsure of how to answer this question.
