Chapter 338: The Temptation of Ghost Diary

Chu Jiang nodded, then he thought for a moment and asked, "What if one day it’s me who does something bad?"

The old man’s eyes showed a hint of weariness. "If that time comes and I haven’t ended myself yet, still holding on to my humanity, I might leave the Lin Ancestral Hall and kill you with my own hands."

"Of course, this may not succeed, and when the day comes that you do something bad, it’s possible that you will be the one to kill me."

Even though the old man had already become a ghost, wiping out his consciousness could still be considered as killing.

"That day will never come." Chu Jiang looked seriously at the old man. "If I am no longer myself, I will choose to end myself rather than let someone else do it for me."

The old man gave a bitter smile. "You are too young. Sometimes, certain changes happen naturally…"

"Okay, let’s not talk about that, let’s continue."

Chu Jiang agreed and looked at the Ghost Diary. This guy was no longer adding diary entries, not sure if he realized that this move was ineffective.

Chu Jiang ignored it and focused on saving time, sealing the second ghost into the diary.

As expected, even though the Painting Ghost increased, the diary didn’t increase.

It’s normal to think about it. The Ghost Diary can only predict what will happen that day. If multiple ghosts are sealed inside, it would be able to see the contents of N days later. This diary is really disturbing.

And if the Ghost Diary could really show prophecies for days in advance, Chu Jiang would still be hesitant to believe. Because there are too many variables about the future, the events predicted by Ghost Diary for that day would change due to some unexpected accidents.

In this case, the further you speculate, the less accurate it will be, just like weather forecasts.

After sealing two ghosts, Chu Jiang didn’t have time to check one by one what specific abilities he could borrow; he just hurriedly stuffed the sealed ghosts inside.

Ghost Diary clearly seemed to enjoy the feast.

Although Chu Jiang couldn’t sense whether it had any emotions, it was indeed eating more and more ferociously and quickly, and even the aura it emitted became more and more terrifying.

When sealing the ninety-ninth ghost, even the old master became very cautious.

He tightly held a cane in his hand and looked at Chu Jiang who was holding a diary. "How do you feel?"

Chu Jiang held the heavy diary in his hand and calmly said, "It’s very scary, and its inside seems to be forming a separate mysterious space. In that space, the ghosts, their presence, and their power will blend together to some extent."

"Yes, this is the large-scale chain Ghost Domain, which only forms in places where many evil spirits gather for a long time. Now this diary greatly speeds up this process."

"Once this Ghost Domain is formed, the power of the Ghost Diary will take a step forward, and it’s all related to the power of control." commented the old man.

"So, should I continue?"

"Yes, continue. You mentioned that the predecessors had sealed three hundred ghosts inside and had to tear out two pages. I don’t believe that with our current abilities, we can’t even control the diary of a hundred ghosts."

Chu Jiang nodded and sealed the last ghost, a statue of a bodhisattva, into it.

The statue looked like a stone Guanyin, but it had a smile-like expression on its face that could make people imagine many things if they looked at it for a long time.

As the last ghost was swallowed by the Ghost Diary, the entire diary immediately started flipping the pages on its own, at a very fast speed.

From the first page to the last page, then Ghost Diary slammed shut, some old dark black bloodstains seeped through its cover.

These bloodstains first slowly intertwined into the shape of a prison, a cage on the cover; then they unexpectedly formed the outline of Chu Jiang’s face, but the "Chu Jiang" on the cover had a strange smile.

Finally, these bloodstains converged into lines of black and red text:

[Maybe I don’t need to use the Ghost Mirror to investigate my origins?]

[I can also rely on the diary. When two hundred ghosts are sealed inside, I will know why Chu’s Jiang should not exist.]

[When three hundred ghosts are sealed inside, this diary can help me control the Ghost Mirror, and I will discover the exact location of the family cemetery.]

[When the diary reaches three hundred and six pages, and each page has a ghost, I will become the ruler of the new world. I will put an end to the revival of the supernatural and become the ancestor of the ten thousand vampires, the crownless king…]

When Chu Jiang saw the last ellipsis, all the words gradually faded and disappeared, until they were gone.

And the diary, emitting a suffocating aura, also calmed down, returning to normal, becoming ordinary once again.

The old man couldn’t see the changes on the cover of Ghost Diary. He looked at Chu Jiang with a hint of confusion and asked, "What did you see?"

Chu Jiang didn’t answer immediately. He stared blankly for a while before repeating what he had seen to the old man.

The old man frowned and shook his head slowly, saying, "Cannot be trusted. That is the ghost from the diary, promising you in three steps, trying to lure you into setting it free step by step."

"What if I only complete the first step?" Chu Jiang asked.

"And not immediately, but after I have complete control over Chu’s Jiang’s power."

"If I can seal only two hundred ghosts inside, at that time I should be able to suppress this diary, and then I can solve a major mystery related to my own identity."

"It’s not just about solving the mystery. If I don’t know where the problem lies with Chu’s Jiang, even if I awaken my bloodline power a hundred percent, I will find it difficult to use this power with peace of mind."

The old man pondered for a moment, "You want to swallow the first two steps and not carry out the final step?"

Lin Daosheng was quite astute. Although Chu Jiang only mentioned eating the first step’s bait, he almost immediately understood that Chu Jiang also had thoughts about the second step’s bait.

Because someone had sealed three hundred ghosts inside, even the Ghost Diary couldn’t escape. This gave Chu Jiang confidence.

At this moment, Chu Jiang joyfully admitted that if he wanted to hide, he wouldn’t have told the old lady about his secret to begin with.

"Young man, you love adventure. But how can you guarantee that what the Ghost Diary says is true?"

Chu Jiang responded seriously, "The first two steps are reliable, because if the first step couldn’t fulfill my wish, I wouldn’t even attempt the second step."

"The same logic applies to the second step. If I find out that the diary is just nonsense, I won’t bother with the third step."

"Instead, this third step is the most unbelievable. A ghost tells me it will help me end supernatural resurrection? Ha, I’m not that foolish."

The old lady glanced at the diary. "It seems to know that you’re not that foolish either."

"But as long as I complete the first two steps, its goal is already mostly achieved, right? So it will still try its best in the first two steps." Chu Jiang stared into the old lady’s eyes. This was his thinking.
