Chapter 291: Ghost Diary’s "Advice"
Ask Li Xiaolang to come and take Jing Ruoxue for registration, while Chu Jiang goes back to his office as usual.
Speaking of Jing Ruoxue’s arrival, Research Institute No. 21 should be well aware. And at headquarters, they should also know Jing Ruoxue’s identity. What might they be thinking?
Don’t misunderstand, Chu Jiang is not worried, just finds it interesting.
As for what the people at headquarters think, it remains unknown for now. But in a certain Expert Ning’s office…
"Oh no, it’s all over!" Ning Miaowei cried as she slumped on her messy desk.
Sitting across from Ning Miaowei was a cute and obedient young girl, wearing a pale, translucent crystal orchid on her head.
This girl, who dressed like a high school student, is named Ning Xiaorou. She is Ning Miaowei’s bodyguard, a quite powerful Ghost Master.
"What’s wrong with you again?" Ning Xiaorou, who was watering the flower on her head with a mini watering can, questioned Ning Miaowei’s behavior.
"The people from the Chu family in Chudi went to meet Chu Jiang. And it seems like they have already chosen the Young Fate Giver of their generation, it’s that girl Jing Ruoxue, have you met her before?"
"Oh, so what?" Ning Xiaorou continued watering plants at a steady pace, drop by drop, with great patience.
"What do you mean ‘Oh, so what?’? You know my plan, don’t you?"
"I was planning to team up with someone surnamed Chu, to try to steal the power of Chu’s Jiang. But now that girl with the surname Jing has taken the lead, I might not have a chance anymore." Ning Miaowei clenched her fists and bit her lips while speaking, showing some discontent.
"You have no shame." Ning Xiaorou was completely dumbfounded by this expert who confidently spoke such words.
"Don’t talk to me about shame. What’s the value of shame compared to the spread of supernatural revival? The whole human race is on the brink of extinction. Which do you choose, shame or life?"
Ning Xiaorou’s face showed anger, "You’re the one with no shame, your whole family has no shame!"
Ning Miaowei wasn’t angry, she just remained weakly sprawled on the table, "It’s been days, haven’t they already done everything they were supposed to do?"
"Can’t you call him yourself and ask?"
"How could I ask that myself? He was already suspicious of me. If I called and asked, wouldn’t I be confessing?"
"You keep howling, I don’t mind." Ning Xiaorou finished watering the plants and casually put away the watering can.
Just then, Ning Miaowei’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up weakly, glanced at it, and immediately jumped up!
The expert, who was carefree and relaxed, pressed the answer button, and spoke in a sweet voice, "Hello~?"
Chu Jiang on the other end of the phone frowned slightly, "What’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing, why did you call me?"
Seeing that the other person’s tone returned to normal, Chu Jiang said, "The fabric doll you gave me last time, I used it and it worked well. When can you send me some more?"
"Hey hey, do you think this thing is as common as a cabbage?" When it came to work, Ning Miaowei became serious all of a sudden.
"Making this thing is not simple at all. I have to collaborate with a captain from our research institute. You have no idea how much effort I had to put in to coax her."
Chu Jiang was a bit surprised. He thought the seal was made with the help of a ghost, but it turned out it was made with the help of the Ghost Master’s power.
These two things are different. The powers that the Ghost Master can unleash are not always 100% effective. Just like Chu Jiang, he cannot fully unleash the power of Chu’s Jiang.
"Which captain? Have I met them before?"
"It’s the creepy little girl in the goth Lolita dress. Her name is Xinxin, codename ‘Death.’"
Chu Jiang quietly remembered this name. When he looked up information about all the captains before, he could only see their names, codenames, and assigned areas. Now that Ning Miaowei mentioned it, he had some guesses about Xinxin’s abilities.
The two continued to chat for a while, mainly because Chu Jiang wanted to give Ning Miaowei feedback on how well the previous plan worked.
At the end of their conversation, Chu Jiang mentioned that he would visit headquarters when he had free time, and they could discuss more then.
Ning Miaowei agreed immediately, promising that if Chu Jiang came over again, she would find a way to get him two more cloth dolls.
……
Next, Chu Jiang called Expert Chen to ask for the "Fire Seed" prop, and also requested two upgraded versions of the Soul Guide Incense and Oil Paper Umbrella.
He planned to depart for Sanjin Mountain tomorrow and hoped that these items could be delivered in time. If possible, it would give him more confidence.
Without hesitation, Chen Yehua agreed. Chu Jiang had just resolved an A-class event, which was the Ghost Bride incident.
Although it wasn’t completely resolved, there were corresponding rewards. Even if the supplies weren’t enough to offset the expenses, Chu Jiang could pay the remaining balance later.
Speaking of the Ghost Bride incident, Zhang Dafu called this morning to thank Chu Jiang and inform him that their ancestor’s remains had been successfully relocated. Everything went smoothly.
As for the new burial site… it remained in the same location, but the grave changed direction.
According to Zhang Dafu, he originally intended to consult a Feng Shui master surnamed Xu, but unexpectedly, the person was arrested by the police for illegal activities.
As a result, the Zhang family had to find a different master. This new master was straightforward, quickly collecting the money and then rambling on about various things.
The main idea was that the original burial site of their ancestor was in a good location, but the orientation was incorrect, going against the auspicious energy. This time, it would face southwest, ensuring wealth, prosperity, and success in official careers for future generations.
This made Chu Jiang laugh a little, but he decided it was okay, as long as everything was peaceful and safe. It could be said that this gentleman only cheats people out of money and doesn’t harm anyone, so he still had some professional ethics.
He didn’t even move to another place, which saved money for the Zhang family.
With this matter coming to an end, Chu Jiang casually took out Ghost Diary and flipped through it.
The contents of Ghost Diary’s journal would automatically update to reflect the changed events of the day, corresponding to the established facts.
However, not every time had new information. For example, during the Black Sun incident, the diary stated that everyone in Luohe City had died. But after the update, Ghost Diary didn’t have anything nice to say, it just expressed some regret that Chu Jiang didn’t die.
As for the castle incident, the updated content was like this:
[November 12th, cloudy weather]
[I didn’t die, damn it, why am I not dead again?!]
[I’ve decided, next time I’ll be more reckless, a true man should have courage to face death fearlessly]
Although Chu Jiang had seen it before, he still found it funny. The intentions of Ghost Diary became more and more obvious, this time it even fooled the owner into being a little reckless.
