Chapter 265: The White Tiger Family
Chu Jiang looked at it and then put the watch on his left hand.
"I had a little accident and got lost these past few days, but now I’m back and everything is fine."
"It’s getting late, you should go back first."
Chen Keai blinked, "Boss, is there something else you haven’t told me?"
"Oh," Chu Jiang said expressionlessly, "Don’t buy me luxury items next time, or I’ll consider it as bribing a superior."
Chen Keai had a slight headache, "According to the usual way, shouldn’t you be saying thank you right now?"
"Then I will say you’re welcome, Dva loves you…"
"Stop," Chu Jiang interrupted her with a hand, "The Overwatch Dva meme is already outdated."
"Ah," Chen Keai looked confused for a moment, "This phrase was one of the ‘Top 10 Killing Lines for Straight Guys’ that I wrote in my notes. Has it become outdated so quickly?"
After saying this, she had a headache, "I noticed that you never follow the script… By the way, Boss, do you live in the office? Even if you haven’t bought a house yet, at least you should rent a high-end apartment, right?"
"Don’t chatter, if you keep going on, I’ll stay at your place tonight."
"Well, I guess it’s not impossible…" Chen Keai scratched her head.
This made Chu Jiang shake his head repeatedly, "Shouldn’t you decisively refuse?"
After saying that, he looked seriously at his own finances, "Could it be that you actually want to date the company boss?"
Chen Keai coughed and said, "No, I just saw on the news that someone got tricked."
"Even though you, the boss, may not think much of my background, I still feel that we are not a good match. You should marry a girl from a wealthy and educated family."
At this moment, Chu Jiang didn’t criticize her old-fashioned thinking. He simply said, "It’s best if you really think that way, otherwise I’m afraid you’ll end up getting hurt."
Chen Keai nodded repeatedly.
And so, Chu Jiang took Chen Keai out of the building and drove her back to her apartment.
Of course, he didn’t actually stay overnight at her place.
After returning to the building, Chu Jiang video chatted with his family for a bit, then went to bed. He was really tired, and he hoped to have fewer unexpected encounters like this in the future…
—————————–
The next morning, Chu Jiang woke up feeling energetic. The Chu’s Jiang didn’t seem to have had much effect on him, apart from making his physical strength stronger and his perception sharper.
Of course, whether there are any other side effects still needs to be observed.
While Duan Mingen hasn’t arrived yet, Chu Jiang logged into a mysterious website and used his low-level access to look up some interesting information.
Including some ancient secrets, the Ghost Master heritage, and the path to dealing with ghost resurrections…
In addition to "balance," "seal," and "hypnosis," the research institute also recorded several little-known paths.
But Expert Chen was right, some paths are actually impossible to replicate, like the ones the old man, Chu Jiang, and the thin man took.
However, this information is still valuable, such as the research institute’s more developed summary articles about "card bugs."
The most common type, in fact, is not the skinny man kind, where you can successfully exploit a bug with just one ghost. It is more accurate to say that the Scapegoat Ghost is too unique.
More commonly, it’s about using the patterns between two ghosts to card bug.
In fact, there have been similar cases with Chu Jiang in the past.
That happened when they were dealing with Black Sun, and the curses of Ghost Diary and Grudge Curse successfully created a glitch-like conflict.
However, after the conflict, neither side fell into a deep sleep because the level of terror in Ghost Diary was clearly higher. It swallowed the Grudge Curse, so naturally there couldn’t be a result.
So, the summary of the research paper is as follows:
It is possible to exploit two conflicting rules of killing to create a glitch, but the terror level of the two spirits must be similar, or at least not too different.
When both sides exhaust their strength in a tug-of-war, it is possible for one of the spirits to fall into silence, which means a long period of sleep until it recovers from this error.
It is even possible for both spirits to get stuck and fall into a deep slumber together.
In essence, this path is about flexibly using the rules, and there is no ready-made, universal system for it.
Moreover, it is not the ultimate solution because people are not clear about the self-regulating mechanism of the spirits. Theoretically, spirits will still have the day they wake up.
……
Besides these materials, Chu Jiang also learned about some ancient Ghost Master legacies.
And excluding the Ghost Master family like the Luohe Lin family that has disappeared in history, the part that has been passed down to the present day.
For example, the White Tiger Clan, the Four Emperors Temple, the Young Fate Giver…
This White Tiger Clan… to be honest, as soon as Chu Jiang saw it, he became alert. Could it be the same as the white tiger in his White Tiger Fury?
And the research institute indicates that the White Tiger Clan is likely the Sincerity Company, the mysterious backer behind it.
This immediately reminded Chu Jiang of the name Bai Congwu. He is the CEO of the Sincerity Company. Last time, he manipulated Duan Mingen and sent this pawn to test himself.
Chu Jiang never expected that the White Tiger would actually have a connection with their group.
The research institute doesn’t have a particularly extensive understanding of the White Tiger Clan, only knowing that they have been inheriting a certain kind of ability from a specific ghost throughout the generations.
At first glance, this seems somewhat similar to the Chu’s Jiang lineage, but in reality, it’s not as exaggerated as Chu’s Jiang, because the White Tiger Clan rarely produces such singular super strong individuals. They value their family advantage more.
And the number of Ghost Masters in each generation is controllable, some even suspect that they have imprisoned a special ghost, using that ghost as a special supernatural resource to be passed down from generation to generation.
This made Chu Jiang think of his own encounter in the castle, White Tiger should now be in a trapped situation…
Eight or nine times out of ten, following this logic, the people from Sincerity Company must beg themselves not to die.
In case Chu Jiang really dies, with the power of the White Tiger in the castle, it is feared that the people from the White Tiger family will be completely killed by this fierce tiger.
Speaking of the Chu’s Jiang family lineage, the research institute surprisingly doesn’t have much information on this Ghost Master family, or it’s not very detailed, only bits and pieces.
It’s unknown whether they haven’t gathered the information or it’s simply not made public, anyway not even someone like Expert Chen has much knowledge about the Chu’s Jiang family lineage.
Next is the Four Emperors’ Temple. Chu Jiang saw this name a long time ago. The research institute seems to define them as a cult. How come they are still an ancient tradition?
Looking at this detailed and classified information, Chu Jiang couldn’t help but feel amused and frustrated.
Simply put, those people don’t follow the rules, it’s already what era, and they still have this "martial artists saving the world" mentality?
