Chapter 370: The Promised Land
Chu Jiang didn’t disbelieve, as he had speculated earlier that it could develop to this stage.
The only good news is that this electronic deity is no longer a false god. Whether it can be considered a ghost, no one knows, so it may not necessarily be hostile towards humans.
Moving forward, all we can do is strengthen monitoring because Chu Jiang cannot enter the computer and internet cables to battle the false god.
During their conversation, the music box’s resistance became weaker and weaker, until Chu Jiang and Belfast successfully subdued it and rendered it completely powerless.
"Just as we agreed before, I’ll hand over that page of the diary to you. After all, we don’t really need it."
"And didn’t our Holy Word Religion help you a lot this time? How about this ghost? It belongs to us now, right?"
Belfast earnestly discussed with Chu Jiang.
Actually, Chu Jiang didn’t really care about owning a ghost. What he cared about was that this particular ghost possessed a very rare power to bring peace and comfort to souls, and it seemed to have some ability to control Sleep Talking.
This made Chu Jiang, who saw Sleep Talking as his next goal, unwilling to let go no matter what.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he said, "You can have the remaining page, but this ghost is mine."
Anyway, even if Chu Jiang got hold of the diary, he wouldn’t be able to reunite it with the Ghost Diary in a short time. He would just keep it temporarily.
It would be better to give it to the Holy Word Religion. After they bring down Sleep Talking from its pedestal, he can reclaim both pages of the diary at once.
Belfast paused, then shook her head immediately, "No, I want this ghost."
At this moment, Jade was slowly regaining her composure. She watched the two people fight over the possession of a ghost, not knowing what to say or why they were still holding hands.
Of course, Jade was definitely on her own side, or rather, standing with her own beliefs.
Just as Chu Jiang was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. His face grew paler, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. But it was immediately evaporated by some invisible heat.
"Wait a moment," Chu Jiang said and took out the little girl from his left hand space to check on her condition.
Luckily, this child was still in a frozen state of time, with a grim wound on her head and coagulated blood.
With Black Sun no longer being affected by the music box’s hypnosis, Chu Jiang’s condition was already not optimistic. Now, as he continued to use the power of time, his physical condition worsened further.
Sister Bel glanced at the child, seemingly fully aware of what had happened before. "You want her to stay alive? Simple, just make her believe in our Lord."
"No, thank you," Chu Jiang refused bluntly.
Although he couldn’t save the little girl right there and then, Chu’s Jiang could take her back and let someone else save her. After all, the battle was already over.
With the current level of medical technology, humans may not be able to save such severe injuries, but that doesn’t mean Ghost Master can’t.
According to Chu Jiang’s knowledge, both Research Institute No. 21 and BRPD have special talents for "saving lives and helping the injured."
Without going into detail, last time police officer Michiko turned into a baby and was controlled by the Ghost Bride, it was a very dangerous situation.
By sending her to headquarters, they could still find a way to keep Michiko alive.
Not to mention, the condition of the little girl was much simpler. She didn’t have any ghosts in her, just weakness and severe injuries.
Seeing that the little girl’s condition was relatively stable, Chu Jiang took her back.
"I don’t have time to delay now, make a decision." Chu Jiang looked at Belfast with a determined gaze, not minding having a confrontation with them.
Sister Bel first bit her lip, looking somewhat distressed. Then she suddenly smiled, as if everything was within her expectations, smoothly transitioning from the expression of a little daughter to a noble and graceful one.
"Okay, then I will compromise a bit, give me the diary and I’ll give you this ghost."
Speaking, Belfast voluntarily let go of Chu Jiang’s hand, "But you have to promise me one thing, come to the island country, I need your help."
"Go to the island country?" Chu Jiang frowned, "Why? Are you still collaborating with the people from Peaceful Spirit Garden?"
"No no no, I don’t want you to go and solve Ghost Abyss, I just found a lead related to The Promised Land."
"The Promised Land?" Chu Jiang didn’t understand.
Belfast said longingly, "There is a story in the Bible, where Abraham, because of his piety towards God, made a covenant with Him and was promised that his descendants would inherit a land flowing with milk and honey."
"That is The Promised Land, Canaan."
"Similarly, God may have promised us such a perfect world. There, humans and ghosts would coexist peacefully, without interfering with each other. Humans would find salvation, and ghosts would find salvation too."
"This is what Jade told you, our Lord will save everything."
Chu Jiang was surprised. Does anyone really have such noble ideals in their sleep talking? No, no, he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten. It’s probably just a trick to deceive believers.
Furthermore, Sister Bel’s description reminded Chu Jiang of the "real world" that Expert Chen and Expert Ning had mentioned before.
And to reach the real world, they needed to first find clues to the Two Realms Bell.
Just then, Sister Bel continued, "To go to The Promised Land, you need to find a bell first. Our Holy Word Religion recently investigated a lead, and that bell could possibly be in the island country."
Chu Jiang was shocked in his heart. It really was the same goal?
But he remained calm on the surface and just asked, "Where exactly is that bell? Don’t tell me it’s inside the Ghost Abyss."
Sister Bel shook her head. "No, according to reports from my subordinates, that bell might be in a certain shrine in the island country, where it is being used as a common ‘Honboshi Bell’."
"It’s the bell that people have to ring after worshiping the gods in front of the main hall."
"But there are nearly 90,000 registered shrines in the island country, not to mention the ones that haven’t been registered. So this task is very difficult to carry out."
Chu Jiang shook his head and said, "It’s no use looking for me, you should go to the Peaceful Spirit Garden instead. With their position in the country, it wouldn’t be a problem for them to replace all the bells in the national shrines."
"Unfortunately, our Holy Word Religion and the Peaceful Spirit Garden don’t have any connection, or I should say people over there are quite unwelcoming."
"But Mr. Chu, you’re different. The Peaceful Spirit Garden needs your help now, and if you step in, they would be very willing to give you some face."
"Of course, we can’t reveal our true intentions directly, in case those guys act humble on the surface but play tricks behind our backs. Let’s discuss the details later when we go to the island country."
Overall, the way Belfast spoke made it seem like he really saw Chu Jiang as a partner.
