Chapter 337: Sealing the Hundred Ghosts

Chu Jiang frowned, as Chu’s Jiang revealed itself during his most dangerous moment. It even stopped the time restart of the Black Sun.

At first glance, this seemed like good news, but Chu Jiang started feeling uneasy.

Could it be that Chu’s Jiang has awakened from its long slumber? Has its ghostly nature overwhelmed the humanity accumulated by generations of the Chu family ancestors?

But that shouldn’t be the case. Chu Jiang closed his eyes again and sensed carefully. He couldn’t detect anything wrong with Chu’s Jiang, and there was no new consciousness appearing within his own body. This power obeyed his commands completely.

Unless… Chu’s Jiang is deeply hidden and deliberately keeping Chu Jiang from realizing it.

Seeing Chu Jiang perplexed, the old grandfather simply said, "It seems like you can’t figure out the root of the problem for now. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to overthink it. Just remember to stay vigilant."

After saying that, the old grandfather looked at Chu Jiang’s left hand and asked, "Do you want to seal some of the ghosts into the diary now, or later?"

"Right now." Chu Jiang instinctively took out the Ghost Diary.

This time, it was lucky for this guy. Speaking of which, Chu Jiang had never tried sealing multiple ghosts in one day before. He didn’t know if he would be able to see multiple pages in the diary.

Or, perhaps, there was only one entry allowed per day, just like how the diary content would only change at midnight the next day.

Chu Jiang spread the diary open and placed it on the ground. The Ghost Diary was now calm, just like any harmless regular book.

The old man didn’t mind. He tapped his cane on the ground, and one ghost after another emerged from the courtyard.

Chu Jiang had seen most of these ghosts before. Last time he came to the Lin Ancestral Hall, the old man had resealed this group of ghosts.

They included: Torture Ghost, Restless Alley Ghost, Wind Ghost, Ghost Fire, Centipede with a Human Head, Headless Ghost, Calling Ghost, Knife Ghost, Masked Ghost, Grave Ghost, Beast Ghost, Jack-o’-Lantern Spirit, Mummy, Green-Masked Spirit, Slit-Mouthed Woman, and many others…

Among them, there were both Eastern and Western, humanoid and non-humanoid ghosts.

There were a total of 95 of these ghosts, which, combined with the existing five in the diary, made exactly one hundred.

And it was clear that the old master had deliberately chosen these ghosts. Among these ghosts, there were definitely no S-class ones, and there were probably very few A-class ones, so that Ghost Diary wouldn’t suddenly have too many powerful ghosts to stop even Chu Jiang now.

And unlike dealing with Black Sun, the binding on these ghosts wasn’t as tight.

Most ghosts were only bound by a chain of black mist, while a few overly powerful ones had a dozen or twenty chains.

For example, there was a miniature stage with pale-faced actors and musicians, all bound by chains and unable to continue performing. Nonetheless, these "people" still looked at Chu Jiang with icy eyes…

After releasing these ghosts, the old master looked at the Ghost Diary on the ground again. He had clearly thought about all the possible consequences.

"You come and do it. If this diary gets out of control, we will seal it together and then dig out the ghosts that have already been swallowed, one by one."

As long as it wasn’t more than three hundred sealed in one go, the old master still had some confidence.

Chu Jiang naturally agreed. He picked up the bloody Torture Ghost next to him, which had no intact skin, and after it revived, he forcibly sealed it again and then stuffed it into the last page of the diary.

As soon as the Torture Ghost touched the diary, the corresponding black mist chains were retracted by the old master.

At the same time, Ghost Diary suddenly came alive. It emitted a cold, oppressive and hopeless aura, greedily swallowing Torture Ghost in one gulp.

Immediately, the words on the diary disappeared, replaced by a portrait of Torture Ghost called Painting Ghost.

Then, the diary turned a page and the prophecy appeared:

[February 1st, rainy weather]

[Today, I successfully controlled Black Sun at Lin Ancestral Hall, but I am not happy]

[Because I finally realized that the Chu’s Jiang I knew was not the real Chu’s Jiang…]

[The only thing worth celebrating is that I managed to trick that stubborn old man into giving me a group of ghosts from Lin Ancestral Hall]

[Only when the diary becomes stronger will my life be more secure. I have decided that I must retrieve the lost two pages and seal three hundred and six ghosts.]

Chu Jiang carefully read the contents of the diary, but when he saw the phrase "not the real Chu’s Jiang," he couldn’t understand what it meant at all.

But he thought this should be an important piece of information worth remembering.

Of course, with subjective words, Chu Jiang still needs to have his own judgment ability.

Ghost Diary’s prophecies are only true when it comes to objective facts that are about to happen or have already happened. Many other subjective opinions are just nonsense.

For example, the sentence that follows immediately below, Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly, is this considered sowing discord? But the method is too low-level, clearly, the old man will not turn against Chu Jiang because of this.

Just when he was about to ignore Ghost Diary and continue to seal the second ghost.

Suddenly, there were two additional paragraphs in the diary.

[By the way, after sealing a group of fierce ghosts and leading the Lin family out of this ancestral hall, I suddenly realized something.]

[Perhaps, I can also seal the Lin family in the diary, after all, they are also ghosts, and there are multiple ghosts inside their bodies.]

[I can even temporarily not seal them, first manipulate them to do my bidding. When necessary, I can then squeeze out their remaining value and feed them to the diary.]

When Chu Jiang saw this, his face finally looked a bit unhappy.

Ghost Diary predicted what would happen next, and the sealing process seemed to go smoothly. Ghost Diary remained in control.

Then, Grandpa might let him take some of the Lin family members with him. After all, they had been trapped here for so many years, and Xinxin longed for freedom.

Since the number of ghosts that needed to be kept in the Lin Ancestral Hall had decreased, Grandpa’s pressure was also reduced. Naturally, he could let some of the Lin family members go out for a walk.

Even everyone else could leave, and only Grandpa, Grandma, and Father would stay behind.

But now, in the tone of Ghost Diary, he spoke words of destruction; saying that the Lin family members were to be used as nourishment or fully squeezed for their usefulness.

The biggest issue was that this could actually happen, and Grandpa could also see these words.

Of course, even though Ghost Diary’s attempts to provoke had escalated, Grandpa didn’t fall for it. He simply said calmly, "I trust you, but I am less confident in my grandchildren."

"As I mentioned to you before, if they commit evil deeds, you have the duty to erase their consciousness and seal them away."
