Chapter 268: Something Unearthed
Because Chu’s Jiang’s power is too strong, it suppressed the Blood Hand Ghost, Dark Left Hand, and the cursed ghost together.
So, Chu Jiang, although feeling heavier physically and mentally, overall, the problem wasn’t big.
When Chu Jiang revoked the curse and returned the power to the Ghost Diary, the vengeful female ghost also returned to the Ghost Diary, becoming a vivid painting on it.
This attempt allowed Chu Jiang to thoroughly understand the pattern of the curse, which can be considered good news.
Because the disguised protective effect of the curse still existed, it means that within seven days, the victim can only die from the curse, while other curses must first pass the test of the curse.
Even now, this time has been extended to fourteen days.
Moreover, if Chu Jiang uses it himself, the ghost’s true form will appear on him, with the curse and the true form coexisting, resulting in an effect of not just fifty percent, but one hundred and fifty percent.
To be honest, Chu Jiang was a bit puzzled, where did the additional fifty percent come from??
Or rather, what kind of algorithm is this? How can it forcefully split one ghost into one and a half ghosts to be used.
In the end, Chu Jiang couldn’t figure it out, and could only attribute it to the unpredictable nature of the paranormal and the unique aspects of the Ghost Diary itself.
……
In the past two weeks, of course, things did happen.
First, there’s firefighter Paul. He’s American and, thanks to the research institute’s help, he successfully contacted the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) in the United States.
While the BPRD actively treated Paul, they were also very interested in his experiences, especially after learning that Paul and Chu Jiang had gone through supernatural events together.
The leader of the last delegation, Bruce Miller, even called to invite Chu Jiang to visit again and thanked him for saving American citizens.
Chu Jiang still said, "Let’s talk about it in a few months."
On the Michiko side, the research institute also contacted the official organization of the island, Peaceful Spirit Garden. Although Chu Jiang wanted to criticize their name, they actually called themselves that, supposedly to make people think it’s a fictional organization.
To be exact, it’s called "Jingling Court," but basically it’s the same.
Michiko is indeed associated with Peaceful Spirit Garden, but surprisingly, they weren’t in a rush to send someone to bring her back. They even hoped that Michiko could stay with Chu Jiang and offered to send someone over to take care of her.
Chu Jiang thought for a moment and understood that he was being taken advantage of.
Over in the island country, there was still an unresolved S-class event called "Ghost Abyss." They even sent people to negotiate with the research institute, hoping to ask Mr. Xu for help.
Naturally, Research Institute No. 21 couldn’t agree to such a thing and found an excuse to avoid it.
Now, there’s a demand for this in the United States, so it’s the same in the island country. This event is simply a great opportunity for them to connect with Chu Jiang out of nowhere.
Of course, the people from Peaceful Spirit Garden are more reserved or not as eager as the Americans. They’re playing it subtly, trying to build a relationship with Chu Jiang first before making any demands.
Chu Jiang’s response was simple: there’s no need to send anyone over, and when the time is right, he will notify Peaceful Spirit Garden to come and take the person away.
As for now, it’s not the right time yet. The matter of the Ghost Bride has made Chu Jiang somewhat concerned.
Chu Jiang couldn’t understand why the Ghost Bride had saved him in the first place.
If the Ghost Bride didn’t want the vessel, Michiko, to die, it could have just taken Michiko alone.
Did it anticipate that someone must break the ghost Buddha, or else everyone cannot leave?
Hey, do ghosts have such good tactics?
It is worth mentioning that Michiko didn’t lose her memory and she recognizes Chu Jiang.
Although she is currently just a baby, it’s easy if she has adult thoughts and wisdom; she can point to the keyboard with her little finger and let someone else type to complete the text output for her.
According to Michiko, she doesn’t remember what happened after she turned small, nor does she know where Ghost Bride’s cards went.
But the demon is still inside her, and there is only one ghost in her body.
So, we can only say that it remains to be observed.
Now Michiko’s body is not in good condition, the burden of the ghost is too heavy for a baby. let alone earlier, when Ghost Bride messed things up using Michiko’s body.
So, Chu Jiang first sent the baby to headquarters, asking the people at the research institute to help prolong her life.
The headquarters is very interested in this and is happy about it because several experts are interested in the phenomenon of Michiko reversing aging. They will do their best to protect this baby.
Chu Jiang’s idea is to observe for at least six months. If they can’t find the reason and Michiko is no longer being controlled, then they will let Peaceful Spirit Garden come and pick him up.
After dealing with these two matters, Chu Jiang sent Li Yuhan’s head back to her hometown for burial. He also gave her family a sum of money as compensation on behalf of the institute.
This way, her last wish was fulfilled.
……
During this time, Chu Jiang was also preparing to go to Sanjin Mountain. The whereabouts of the previous supervisor, Wang Lei, and the matter of the river god were always issues that had to be dealt with.
It is worth mentioning that, just two days after Duan Mingen went to the headquarters, another Ghost Master was chased and came to Luohe City.
As a result, Chu Jiang almost took care of that Ghost Master and the people chasing him single-handedly.
Or you could say, if it hadn’t been for a mysterious person stepping in to rescue them at the last moment, all these people would have really been done for.
Coming once is enough, why do you want to come twice?
Chu Jiang is not someone to be messed with. If anyone dares to take advantage of him, he will take advantage of them instead.
……
About twenty days after the Castle incident ended, Chu Jiang felt that he needed some time to rest. He adjusted well and successfully acquired the ghosts he needed to capture. It was time to set off.
Before officially setting off, Chu Jiang took the opportunity to promote the ghost-catching and evil-driving deeds to the old lady. He also persuaded the Xu family to organize a homecoming ancestral ceremony with the local Lin clan.
Only if the Lin Ancestral Hall is protected, Luohe City can remain peaceful.
Unexpectedly, the night before Chu Jiang was about to set off, someone called him.
"Big brother, something bad has happened! We’ve really dug something up…"
Hearing the panicked voice, Chu Jiang was caught off guard. "Who are you? How did you get my number?"
"My name is Zhang Dafu. We flew back together on the plane, remember? The chubby guy, the businessman, the nouveau riche, the one who wants to move a grave." Zhang Dafu on the other end of the phone was starting to lose track of his words.
"Oh, I remember now. Why hasn’t the grave been moved yet? It’s been almost a month."
Zhang Dafu started to cry when he talked about it. "We started the construction twenty days ago, but something went wrong halfway. Several workers died, so we had to stop the work."
"We’ve lost a lot of money during this period. Today, we finally managed to hire a new team to continue the construction, but something was found buried under the grave… You said I shouldn’t call you if something goes wrong, but it’s fine to inform you about what was found."
