Chapter 400: Sharing the Pain
This time, Chu Jiang didn’t run away. He first handed something to Nun Ghost, who had been hiding in his watch all along, and gave it a command.
Then, he inserted his right hand into the page that sealed the Mask Ghost, unexpectedly not borrowing the ghost’s power through the diary but forcibly pulling out the ghost itself from the diary!
On the gloomy bronze mask, there was naturally a dark iron chain attached. However, Chu Jiang didn’t mind and forcefully put the mask on his own face.
The moment he put it on, the Mask Ghost, having found its host, swiftly came alive from its dormant state.
Unlike the seal, it only appeared as an object, just like Ghost Rental, so it possessed various characteristics of a ghost.
As soon as the Mask Ghost was revived, it instinctively tried to take control of Chu Jiang, even though it was still locked by the Ghost Diary itself.
But Chu Jiang wasn’t easily controlled, and the Mask Ghost didn’t assimilate him quickly. It only made Chu Jiang temporarily lose his emotions.
Since he had turned into a cold, rational being, the negative emotions that surged in Chu Jiang’s heart couldn’t affect his actions and thoughts for now.
Chu Jiang and the Ghost Domain merged together, drifting among countless children’s lost souls, and winding their way towards the "unseen" Yamata no Orochi.
Actually, Chu Jiang could try using black flames to deal with these ghosts. But considering that the serpent consumed them, Chu Jiang felt it wouldn’t be wise to act recklessly in case it triggered even worse changes.
During this process, Chu Jiang kept rolling the dice with the numbers 666 like crazy, hoping that the frequency would even out the mere 5% chance of success.
The more Chu Jiang approached the serpent, the more twisted and piercing the chants sung by the children became.
At the same time, the negative emotions born from the chants flooded into Chu Jiang’s body in large quantities, rendering his blocked hearing useless.
With more and more negative emotions piling up, Chu Jiang’s speed began to slow down, and even the bronze mask on his face started to reveal the faces of the children one by one.
And it didn’t stop there; the faces gradually spread along the dark iron chains, towards the true form of the Ghost Diary.
Because Chu Jiang is now in a state where he is being controlled by the Mask Ghost, and the Mask Ghost is locked by the Ghost Diary, it means that they are all connected. The overflowing negative emotions have nowhere to go, so naturally they will spread through this connection and be shared among the three.
The Ghost Diary sensed the threat, and it didn’t indulge Chu Jiang. In fact, it always had a force in its chains to pull the ghost back. But at this moment, the Mask Ghost didn’t want to go back, so it forcefully attached itself to Chu Jiang.
But as the Ghost Diary gradually increased its power to retrieve, the Mask Ghost seemed to be gradually detaching from Chu Jiang’s body.
Upon seeing this, Chu Jiang calmly reached out and grabbed the chain, and even used the power to interfere with reality to forcefully keep the mask on his face, maintaining the connection among the three.
As a result, without Chu Jiang cutting the chain, Ghost Diary, limited by its own rules, couldn’t harm its owner and could only be in a stalemate with Chu Jiang like this.
And the consequence of this stalemate was that faces began to appear on the Ghost Diary…
With the help of the Mask Ghost and the Ghost Diary to share the burden of negative emotions, Chu Jiang, although inevitably affected, was still able to move freely overall, and even forcefully continue forward despite the harm from the number 666.
These attacks from the dice not only caused various injuries to Chu Jiang’s body but also led to severe depression and even instant suicide. However, with the presence of the Mask Ghost, these mental attacks currently had no effect on Chu Jiang.
However, as Chu Jiang continued to crazily roll the dice, more and more black goat marks accumulated on his body, including hooves, horns, tail, and body. They didn’t fade away in a short time, and it was unknown if this would cause any hidden dangers.
But Chu Jiang now doesn’t have time to think about this anymore, he forcefully connects to Ghost Diary and approaches within twenty meters of Yamata no Orochi for the first time.
Before Chu Jiang could attack, Yamata no Orochi stopped feeding on the children and abruptly turned its eight snake heads, its blood-red eyes locked onto the target!
With this action, countless negative emotions spontaneously arise in front of it, and instantly reach their peak.
What’s even more terrifying is that the negative emotions released by Yamata no Orochi are not only from the spirits of these children.
They also include men, women, the young and the old, people from different countries, different races, different skin colors… Countless faces, countless negative emotions, are so dense that they almost materialize, like a black wave that engulfs everything, coming overwhelmingly!
Even though he has lost his emotions, when Chu Jiang sees this scene, his body instinctively sends out a danger signal, and the spirit inside him also shows signs of restlessness.
Run away? No, there is nowhere to escape.
At this moment, Chu Jiang chooses to go against the tide! He transforms into a Black Sun, enduring the countless surging waves and launching a deadly charge towards Yamata no Orochi.
And at this crucial moment, Chu Jiang finally throws a number that is not six, this time it is a blood-red .
The dice disappeared, and Chu Jiang once again entered a state that was like an evil god.
A black sheep’s head mark appeared on his forehead, and clouds of mist surged under his feet. Coupled with the black and gold flames swirling around him, if people outside saw this, they would probably think that an evil god had descended to destroy the world.
Chu Jiang collided with negative emotions, and the power within him could only block a portion of the emotions from flowing in, unable to completely seal them off.
As a result, the more negative emotions poured into Chu Jiang, the more they were also distributed to the Ghost Diary.
Suddenly, the diary escaped Chu Jiang’s control and wildly turned its pages in the air.
With each page turned, the sealed ghost on it was instantly filled with negative emotions. By the time it reached hundreds of pages, the more than a hundred ghosts that Chu Jiang had previously sealed inside were all forcibly sharing the damage with the Ghost Diary.
Chu Jiang didn’t anticipate this scene. If he had emotions at this moment, he would probably praise the other party.
Fortunately, with the help of the Ghost Diary, along with the more than a hundred ghosts inside the diary, Chu Jiang shared the burden of negative emotions and crossed the ocean formed by them.
His right hand condensed into a solid lightning spear, and he fiercely impaled the eight biting snake heads onto it.
Suddenly, he pointed with his left hand, and Yamata no Orochi immediately had an extra black and golden wheel of flames.
The wheel of flames released an extreme heat wave, and the giant snake was like being thrown into the core of the real sun. Its long body was vaporized within a few seconds, revealing its black skeleton inside.
Nevertheless, its eight tails instantly stabbed towards Chu Jiang.
One of the tails was particularly special, as its tip was dripping water, as if it had caught the rain from the sky…
