Chapter 378: Ghost Bride’s "Rebirth"
How does it feel to be embraced by a female ghost? Gentle and fragrant like soft jade? Lost in a daydream?
Nonsense! Chu Jiang only felt cold and stiff, as if he were hugging a corpse.
Well, there’s really no difference from hugging a corpse.
Chu Jiang thought and thought again, and decided to make an agreement with the Ghost Bride, but it couldn’t understand human language.
So eventually, Chu Jiang released the Ghost Rental, this time not controlling the taxi with the White Tiger Card, but infecting it with the Black Flame meme. This way, the duration of the effects would be much longer than using cards.
Then, Chu Jiang pointed at himself and then pointed at the car. "Me, sweet treat. You get in the car and go to another world, we should have a chance to meet again."
This Ghost Rental car itself came out of that dark world by Chu Jiang, it should be able to take the Ghost Bride back to that place.
The Ghost Bride, of course, didn’t respond, just holding onto Chu Jiang and refusing to let go. Those blood-red eyes were still looking up at him, as if afraid that he would disappear again.
Chu Jiang slightly lowered his head and looked at the Ghost Bride, getting closer and closer until their lips touched…
With a gentle tap, Chu Jiang let go and quickly pushed the Ghost Bride’s hand into the Ghost Rental car.
To Chu Jiang’s surprise, the Ghost Bride didn’t resist much this time. Could it be true, as Mr. Xu said, that satisfying its obsession a little would be enough?
After putting it in the taxi, Chu Jiang finally had time to observe the Ghost Bride’s condition.
Although they only touched for a moment, Chu Jiang could indeed feel that the other’s lips were soft and not as stiff as its body.
As for how the Ghost Bride felt… Chu Jiang didn’t know. All he knew was that it had closed its eyes and even its chest was slightly rising and falling, even though it didn’t breathe. It seemed like an unnecessary action.
In short, it’s a good thing that Chu Jiang stopped bothering himself. He immediately patted the taxi, signaling it to start quickly and never look back. Run as fast as possible! Run as far as possible!
The engine made a painful wheezing sound, and the radio started playing the song "Night Fragrance". The old car rushed out in an instant, much faster than when it carried Chu Jiang before.
Watching Ghost Rental get further and further away, Chu Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after driving onto a never-ending dark road.
Then he touched his lips, feeling a sense of loss. This is what Ghost Diary described as "sacrifice".
Shaking his head, Chu Jiang waited in place for the return of Ghost Rental.
……
On the pitch-black, empty road, inside Ghost Rental, the Ghost Bride was quietly undergoing some unknown changes.
To be precise, everything happened after its close encounter with Chu Jiang.
Half an hour later, as the taxi passed by the Ghost Temple not far away, but it didn’t stop. It just aimlessly continued driving forward, and the hazy temple remained closed.
The Ghost Bride, whose chest was constantly rising and falling, slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were still blood-red, but at this moment, they were no longer as lifeless and icy as before. It seemed that besides the stillness and coldness, there was something else, something indescribable…
After the Ghost Bride woke up, she didn’t force herself to get off the car or go back to find Chu Jiang.
She just looked outside through the car window, like a newborn baby opening her eyes for the first time, observing the world.
……
At the same time, on Chu Jiang’s side, he was holding his phone and chatting with Chen Keai on WeChat.
"It’s okay, I won’t dislike you. It’s just kissing a ghost, it’s because of circumstances we can’t control. Don’t take it seriously."
Just then, the red cap that had disappeared after being taken off by Chu Jiang suddenly appeared from the ground and flew straight towards Chu Jiang!
Chu Jiang was shocked and immediately reached out to grab the ghostly thing, so it wouldn’t pounce on him.
As soon as Red Cap touched Chu Jiang’s body, it magically transformed into a red rope and tied itself around his left wrist.
Once Chu Jiang confirmed that this thing wouldn’t invade his body, he was somewhat speechless. A token?
After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t throw away the object, but also didn’t wear it on his hand. He simply took it off and temporarily put it in his left pocket.
"Hmm, I’m going to another country. Is there anything you like? I’ll bring it back for you," Chu Jiang said into his phone.
Chen Keai thought for a moment and responded, "Cosmetics, and also sake, snacks, and Japanese sweets."
"Alright," Chu Jiang agreed right away.
Chen Keai asked cautiously, "When will you come back?"
"It won’t be too long, trust me."
"Hmm."
Shortly after their conversation ended, Ghost Rental returned on its own and the car was completely empty.
This made Chu Jiang finally relieved, and he didn’t know how Ghost Bride got off the car, but he instructed the taxi driver to go as far as possible.
With this danger resolved, Chu Jiang took Michiko back to headquarters and also mentioned the plan to go to the island country.
Michiko naturally agreed eagerly, she excitedly gestured and seemed impatient.
However, as they had been busy all day, it was already 2:30 in the morning.
So Chu Jiang first informed headquarters about Ghost Bride’s whereabouts, then booked a flight for the next morning. He also advised Michiko to go to bed early, wake up early, not stay up late, drink more milk, and grow up quickly.
……
The next morning, in the island country, Tokyo, inside a traditional samurai residence.
A young woman dressed in a kimono was kneeling on the tatami mat in front of a tea table, carefully grinding the green tea leaves in her cup.
She was very beautiful, with fair skin and a long hair that was carefully adorned with flower-shaped hair accessories. Her expression was cold, and she wore clothes primarily in deep red, mixed with purple, blue, and white.
Around her waist, she wore a wide silk belt. Her hands moved attentively and devoutly, as if she was not making tea, but immersing herself in some kind of path.
Sitting opposite the woman in a kimono was an old man who looked very thin. He wore a simple white robe and squinted his eyes. He was so old that he had lost all his teeth, and only a few white hairs remained.
After taking a sip of the tea offered by the woman, the old man said, "Harmony, respect, purity, tranquility. Hayayuki, your tea art has surpassed that of your mother."
The woman named Hayayuki simply nodded slightly.
Just then, there were faint footsteps outside the room, followed by someone reporting, "Miss Hayayuki, that person, Chu Jiang, has boarded the departing plane. They are expected to arrive at Narita Airport in three hours."
"Hmm, send someone to pick him up. I’ll be a bit late, let Uesugi handle this." The woman in the kimono said calmly.
"Yes!"
