I Have a Diary

"This made the conflict between me and the ghost more intense, and it made me more painful."

"To be honest, even if you didn't come today, I still plan to find an opportunity to contact Research Institute No. 21."

"Because I discovered a sad thing: I can't control the river god at all!"

"As I said just now, although the two of us are in the state of me in you and you in me, the ghost has the overall upper hand."

"Even if the river god, the ghost, intends to keep my consciousness, I'm still dying slowly."

"And even if it continues to drag on, I'm just delaying the time of death, and I have to suffer mentally every day. I've had enough, really enough! I might as well die..."

Hearing the stone statue's completely self-destructive speech at the end, Chu Jiang remained calm.

He was assessing the danger of this ghost, the River God. The River God obviously already had the means to kill people on a large scale, and the influence was so great that it even affected more than one city.

If it is a little more exaggerated, I am afraid that it can reach S rank.Of course, it can't be determined yet, because S-level ghosts often have one, or even more than one kind of abnormal ability that is almost unsolvable.

For example, the memetic infection and time restart of the black sun; the infinite proliferation ability of a certain S-level ghost; the causal erasure of ghost Buddha...

The abilities of Chu Zhuang and Chu Mei also counted, but Chu Jiang and Jing Ruoxue obviously couldn't use their abilities to the limit.

"Calm down," Chu Jiang persuaded first, and then he said, "I have some guesses about why the River God kept your consciousness on purpose."

The stone statue's gloomy eyes focused on Chu Jiang, obviously interested in this topic, regardless of whether Chu Jiang's guess was right or wrong.

"You also said before that the water ghost in your body has the instinct to return to the Luo River waters, and even subconsciously affects you. In other words, it wants to return to a certain pattern in the past."

"In addition, when you said that when you resurrected the villagers, there was a feeling of déjà vu, so I am even more sure."

"Perhaps many years ago, there was indeed a river god in the local area. But this river god was not a pure ghost, but a ghost controlled by a ghost master."

"This ghost master calls himself a god, accepts worship from the local people, and provides them with some degree of protection."

"However, time passed, and after some upheavals, the ghost master who claimed to be a god died, and even the ghosts in his body were sealed.

"Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't sealed, but that the ghost naturally fell into a dormant state in a certain place during the period when the spiritual recovery temporarily subsided."

"In the end, after going around for many years, this water ghost inadvertently entered your body, making you a ghost master."

"But because this water ghost was permanently changed by the ghost master back then, it still has the instinct to return to Luohe and become the river god again."

"However, a ghost alone cannot fulfill the duties of a god; so the water ghost will take your consciousness away with you, hoping to become the new river god with you."

"But it's a pity, after all, you are not that powerful ghost master back then. You can't resist the passive devouring of ghost nature, even if the water ghost deliberately wants to retain your humanity."

This guess is based on Chu Jiang's own experience and some anecdotes that Jing Ruoxue told him.It is difficult for ordinary people to think of this level, especially the origin of certain "gods".

After listening to the stone statue, it also fell into a long silence, and then it asked: "Why can't a ghost alone become a god?"

"It's not impossible to become. Do you know about the S-level incident abroad [False God]? That S-level ghost should exist alone."

"It's just the water ghost in your body. It was just an ordinary ghost earlier. It should have been brought to the height of a god by that powerful ghost master, so it is not suitable for becoming a god alone."

"If you die, I guess the ghost will either act on instinct and start killing people around. Or it will look for the next consciousness, the one suitable for it to bond with."

Chu Jiang was just speculating, without direct evidence, but the stone statue was silent again. Combined with its own situation, it vaguely felt that this was very likely to be true...

After thinking about it, the stone statue didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "Can you tell me about the situation outside?"

"It would be even better if you could introduce yourself again. I don't think it's a small person in charge, whether it's the ghost on your body, or your conversation and knowledge."

It is worth mentioning that after Wang Lei's death, all his accounts and permissions on the ghost website were shut down.

Therefore, he cannot obtain information from the outside world in a timely manner by manipulating the villagers; not to mention that his waking hours in a day are limited, and most of the time he is tortured in a daze.

Chapter 290 Nine Responsibilities of the Gods

"The situation outside is indeed not very optimistic. The supernatural recovery has accelerated, and it has even been concealed."

Chu Jiang first talked about the changes in the global situation in the past six months, and also talked about the S-level incident that happened in Luohe City.

"Speaking of which, it is also thanks to your blessing. Do you still remember the Lin's ancestral hall? I also took advantage of some geographical advantages to succeed."

The stone statue's eyes brightened a little, "Of course I remember, after entering that place, the water ghost in my body actually fell silent. It's very special there, it seems that there is a power to suppress ghosts."

Chu Jiang nodded. When he asked this, it was a small test, to test whether Wang Lei was Wang Lei or not.

......

After Chu Jiang finished speaking, the stone statue couldn't help sighing, "It turns out that you are not only the person in charge of Luohe City, but also the captain of the research institute, so it's no wonder."

"You even solved an S-level incident, which I never expected. It is estimated that you are ranked among the ghost masters all over the world."

Chu Jiang didn't comment on this, but said instead: "Actually, I have some small doubts. Are you Wang Lei?"

"Or, is it still Wang Lei's will that is talking to me? Could it be a ghost talking to me through your mouth?"

The stone statue was not annoyed by this, it just said: "I am Wang Lei, of course, I also understand your doubts; when facing ghosts, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious."

"But how do you want me to prove it?"

"Well," Chu Jiang took out his satellite phone, "Of the three employees who used to get along with you in the company, only Chen Ke'er is still left. I'll call her and the two of you can chat. "

"No problem, I have an impression of that financial man who has a strong brain power and seems to regard me as a gangster."

After talking about the stone statue, there is no need for Chujiang to point it out. It drains the water in the grotto and forms a waterless corridor leading directly to the outside river.

Although the signal is relatively poor, Chu Jiang's mobile phone sends and receives signals through satellites, so the impact is relatively small.

Chu Jiang casually dialed someone's number on the phone, but after a few seconds, the stone statue's face changed.

At the same time, the phone was connected, and although it was a female voice, it was not Chen Ke'er's voice, but Jing Ruoxue's voice.

"Hey?"

While observing the reaction of the stone statue, Chu Jiang said, "It's me, what's going on with you?"

"I'm fine, but the villagers of Nangao Village invited me to a certain place as a guest, and it seems that they won't let me go."

Jing Ruoxue's voice was very calm, obviously surrounded by a group of villagers who were neither human nor ghost, she was not afraid.Moreover, the two sides did not fight each other, they just maintained a state of confrontation with each other.

"You go first, don't contact the research institute for now, unless I don't call you again within three hours."

Speaking of which, Chu Jiang looked at the stone statue, "If you are sincere, let her go first, and I may help you."

The stone statue nodded slightly. In fact, after it realized that something was wrong, it neither blocked the conversation between the two nor let the villagers attack Jing Ruoxue, it just made a choice.

"Wait," Jing Ruoxue didn't seem to want to leave, "What's going on with you?"

"I'm fine, I'm talking to the river god, don't worry."

"By the way," Chu Jiang added, "Wait for me in a place without water after you leave, especially remember to stay away from the Luohe River."

After thinking about it, Jing Ruoxue agreed.

However, the two didn't end the call directly. Chu Jiang put down the phone only after Jing Ruoxue flew far away from Nangao Village and told Chu Jiang that he was safe.

"Okay, let's talk about the reason. Didn't you say that life is better than death? Do you want to contact the research institute? Then why did you detain my friend when we arrived?"

The stone statue sighed again, "I wasn't sure if you were from the research institute before. She was surrounded by me before the two of us met."

"After the conversation started later, just as you don't trust me, I don't trust you either."

"I believe you are from the research institute, but I am still wary of you; after all, I am trapped now, like meat waiting to be slaughtered on the cutting board, and I inevitably want to do something to protect myself."

"Of course, it's ridiculous, so after thinking about it, I decided to forget it."

"Now that your friends have left and the villagers have gone back to sleep, you can trust that I have no ill intentions, right?"

Chu Jiang didn't agree, but just looked at the other party calmly.

Now Chu Jiang can preliminarily confirm that this guy is Wang Lei.If it is a ghost, it should not be able to be like a stone statue. Although it is painful, it still maintains a certain degree of sanity.

Moreover, Wang Lei obviously still has the will to survive. If he had really given up on himself, he would not have held Jing Ruoxue back. It was precisely because of his desire for life that he subconsciously made such contradictory actions.

If Wang Lei really asked the villagers to do something to Jing Ruoxue, even if Jing Ruoxue didn't get hurt in the end, Chu Jiang would not choose to continue the conversation.

But now that the other party is willing to cooperate, it means that there is still salvation, and Chu Jiang doesn't mind continuing to deal with Wang Lei.

"Now I believe you are Wang Lei, but you have to talk about your appeal."

"If you really want to die, that's easy. I'll leave now and report your situation to the headquarters."

"Then I'm sure someone will come along and take over this very soon."

"You don't have to worry about the research institute, it will seal you with ghosts and humans. You have to have some confidence in the headquarters. They can't kill ghosts, but they can definitely kill them."

"Oh, maybe you can try to let me do it. I should be able to erase your consciousness, as long as you are willing to cooperate and not resist."

Chu Jiang's words hit Wang Lei's weakness, and he fell silent.

As mentioned above, Wang Lei still doesn't really want to die, but he can't help it. At present, he seems to be stumbling in hell, and he can't see the way ahead.

"I want to live, and I want to get rid of the current predicament, but if I really can't get rid of it, please kill me!" Wang Lei finally made up his mind and stopped hesitating.

Chu Jiang clapped his hands, "Very well, to be honest, although we have never met, I did a lot of research on you in the early stage, so I have a good personal impression of you."

"If you really want to live, you can try to do it my way."

"Of course, this method is very precious, and I don't ask you to give me anything in return. Assuming you can really use this method to get out of the predicament and fully control the power of the River God, then I hope you will remember your responsibilities."

"That is, as a god, it is the duty to protect one party!"

Chu Jiang's words were so sonorous and powerful that Wang Lei subconsciously felt a sense of solemnity.

He nodded slightly, "Okay, I promise."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Seeing Wang Lei's serious statement, Chu Jiang continued: "The spiritual recovery is intensifying. I worry that sooner or later, the global order will collapse."

"I originally planned to do my best to protect the peace of Luohe City. But now, with your existence, I have seen more possibilities. Maybe the cities that Luohe River flows through have a chance to survive. come down..."

"Okay, let's not talk about things that are too far away, let me talk about my method first."

"Do you know the concept of [Nian]? Do you know the effect of the power of incense, or the power of belief, on gods?"

Wang Lei shook his head blankly, he had never heard of these concepts.

So Chu Jiang began to explain some related concepts, basically those that the old man explained to him when he was a guest in Lin's ancestral hall.
