Chapter 377: Winter Thunder Rumbles, River Water Dries Up
After reading this long diary entry, Chu Jiang fell silent.
He finally understood why the predictions in this diary were so detailed. It was simple – the Ghost Diary wanted the controlling power of the Ghost Bride. It hoped Chu Jiang would seal the ghost inside the diary.
For this Ghost Diary, it not only provides a relatively detailed future, but also offers a supplementary version of the plan.
The most outrageous thing is that this plan seems to actually have a very high success rate.
Chu Jiang looked up and saw the Ghost Bride across from him, still wearing a red veil. Should he take off its head… Although the Ghost Diary sounds reliable, Chu Jiang doubts if it would really go smoothly if he does so.
Moreover, according to the Killing Rule of the Stretching Ghost, the Ghost Bride should be the one who takes off its own head and then puts Chu Jiang’s head on its own neck, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Jiang decided to first ask Mr. Xu.
He wanted to know what Mr. Xu’s plan was and what he would need to sacrifice.
"Mr. Xu, there’s something I want to ask you."
Chu Jiang made sure his words reached outside the Ghost Domain. Although his voice was not loud, he believed the other party must be paying attention to what was happening here and could hear what he was saying.
After a few seconds, Chu Jiang heard that elderly voice again, "Speak."
"If I can’t solve the Ghost Bride problem here, and it even affects the headquarters, do you have any advice for me?"
Mr. Xu was a bit surprised. "You guessed this? No, it must be because of that diary…"
"It’s simple. If you really can’t solve it, then take a compromise and send the Ghost Bride to the Gathering Place of Spirits."
"That way, even though it won’t be sealed away, it won’t harm ordinary humans for now."
"The Gathering Place of Spirits?" Chu Jiang was a bit confused. "Where is that?"
"I’ve seen your file report. Haven’t you been to that place before? The place with a creepy castle…"
Chu Jiang immediately remembered his experience in the castle, and also recalled the ghost Buddha. He also brought out his White Tiger Card from that place.
"You mean I should send it into the castle? Now it should be a haunted temple."
"No, I mean the world where the castle is located, or you can describe it as a supernatural space." There was a hint of nostalgia in Mr. Xu’s tone. "It’s much bigger than you imagine, and it is a part of everything in the universe…"
Chu Jiang had a headache. The real world, the world of reality, and now a new world had sprung up.
Even before hearing about the concept of the "world of reality," Chu Jiang had guessed something about that dark place. He even suspected that the Nai River that appeared at Green Cloud Mountain also came from that world.
"So, how do I send the Ghost Bride to that place?"
Mr. Xu said calmly, "It’s simple. The spirit of this ghost is very attached to you. If you try to take it away directly, it will be impossible to succeed. It will keep following you."
"But if you just slightly satisfy its attachment, it will be much easier."
Chu Jiang frowned as he listened, "What does ‘slightly satisfy’ mean?"
Mr. Xu coughed, "It means getting married, you know, if you really don’t want to, there are other ways, but you have to give it some sweet reward, right?"
Chu Jiang was speechless, "How am I supposed to give a ghost a sweet reward?"
"I don’t know, I’m old, I can’t keep up with the times anymore. You young people figure it out."
After saying this last sentence, Mr. Xu didn’t respond anymore, no matter how Chu Jiang asked.
This made Chu Jiang very helpless, now there are two options for him to choose:
One is to temporarily send away the Ghost Bride after a romantic encounter.
The other is to use strong measures to completely exploit the Ghost Bride’s value.
But in between, there is a factor to consider, which side is more trustworthy?
Compared to the Ghost Diary, Chu Jiang certainly trusts Mr. Xu more, even if he fails, he might lend a helping hand.
As for the Ghost Diary, hehe, this ghost has always had evil intentions.
Although it always hoped for Chu Jiang to seal more ghosts in, at the same time, it also wanted to devour Chu Jiang.
Perhaps after devouring the master, it will gain more autonomy.
And Ghost Diary, who has been with Chu Jiang for a long time, should know the owner’s personality very well.
Even if Chu Jiang were to remove the head of the Ghost Bride, it would be impossible to seal this ghost in the diary, just like how he hasn’t fed false god to the diary till now.
In this case, the plan proposed by Ghost Diary has some credibility, which is worth discussing.
After all, this is additional content and strictly speaking, it doesn’t count as today’s prophecy.
While Chu Jiang was thinking, Ghost Bride stood quietly in place, as if as long as it could maintain this kind of contact with its "true love," it could stand firm till the end of time, through changing tides, thunderous winters, and drying rivers.
Chu Jiang looked up at the ghost and remembered the tears of blood that Ghost Bride shed when it couldn’t find him last time; he remembered Ghost Bride wandering on Green Cloud Mountain, lonely and searching for his own figure.
He remembered the peacock flying southeast, hesitating for miles…
Finally, Chu Jiang glanced at Ghost Diary and asked, "How much credibility do you think you have in my heart?"
Ghost Diary didn’t show any words, and it was not clear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but that long string of additional content disappeared, leaving only the original prophecy.
"Want to welcome or reject?" Chu Jiang shook his head and carefully put away the diary.
Then Chu Jiang looked at Ghost Bride, "Getting married is impossible, as for the rest…"
Chu Jiang hesitated, wondering if he really had to be with a ghost.
In the end, Chu Jiang took Ghost Bride’s hands and, as it wished, gently removed the red head covering.
As the bright red covering slipped off, Chu Jiang saw once again the beautiful and cold face under the phoenix crown.
And as Chu Jiang made this gesture, Ghost Bride’s eyelids trembled slightly and opened.
It had a pair of blood-red eyes, lifeless, indifferent, and icy, devoid of any living emotions.
Although Chu Jiang couldn’t read any emotions, it just silently stared at Chu Jiang without blinking, as if its eyes could never close again.
After a moment of eye contact, Chu Jiang attempted to pull his hands away, but Ghost Bride, aware of the movement, held on even tighter.
This makes Chu Jiang both worried and doubtful about whether Mr. Xu’s methods are reliable or not.
Isn’t this getting even stickier? Can it really be fooled just by giving it a little sweetness?
Just as Chu Jiang was hesitating whether to take it further, the Ghost Bride approached and voluntarily nestled in his arms…
