Chapter 49: 304
This man is tall with a slightly hooked nose, and his facial features have a hint of hostility. There is also a scar on his left cheek, which makes him look unfriendly.
And here is the local representative, Fang Tianci!
No, to be precise, it should be someone who looks exactly like Fang Tianci, even their clothes are the same.
Fang Tianci" couldn't help but smile on his face. His voice sounded hoarse and completely different from Chu Jiang's. He said, "So this is the effect? Then I declare that you are indeed a level zero seal.
And it's a level zero seal with a terrifying effect.
However, the more it is, the more uneasy Chu Jiang becomes. If this Ghost Diary has such a twisted ability, then the so-called foresight of the future is completely unnecessary.
Since the effect is so terrifying, according to the general rule of seals, the negative effect should also be equally terrible.
However, so far, based on Chu Jiang's personal experience, he has only discovered one negative effect: he cannot enter a dying state. Otherwise, before someone else can intervene, the Ghost Diary will swallow him first.
This is unreasonable, very unreasonable.
If it was just that half-hearted prophecy, Chu Jiang thought it was normal. But adding this "ability to use sealed ghosts" is just way too outrageous.
Yes, this is a new function that Chu Jiang just discovered.
As long as he puts his hand on this page with a drawing of a ghost, he can temporarily borrow the ability of this ghost.
As for the specific limitations, he is currently experimenting with them.
......
Twenty minutes later, Chu Jiang temporarily came to a conclusion:
First, the ghosts eaten by the Ghost Diary are not disappearing, but are temporarily sealed.
This means that the Ghost Diary is a natural sealing device, and is definitely much stronger than a combination of a Protective Talisman and a jar. It's probably no problem to keep a ghost sealed for hundreds of years.
Second, the holder of the diary can temporarily borrow the abilities of sealed ghosts by touching the page that is sealed with a ghost.
Of course, it's not possible to borrow 100%, according to Chu Jiang's experiment, only about 50% of the original ghost's abilities can be borrowed.
Currently, there's too few samples, so Chu Jiang can only estimate. At least just now, he didn't synchronously obtain Fang Tianci's memories and way of thinking.
Three, it's not necessary to maintain continuous contact in order to use the abilities. However, every ten minutes, Chu Jiang needs to touch at least once, otherwise the ability will automatically deactivate.
Four, the longer the ability is borrowed, the more likely the ghost will escape. How long the borrowing lasts will determine whether the Imitation Ghost escapes from the diary, it's still unknown.
Finally, Chu Jiang vaguely realizes that borrowing the ghost's abilities also burdens his own body.
This is similar to when Chu Jiang borrows the power of the Blood Hand Ghost, the principle is the same.
The difference is that normally, the Blood Hand Ghost resides in Chu Jiang's body, causing him greater harm, and it's constant.
Whereas the Imitation Ghost resides in the Ghost Diary, causing less harm to Chu Jiang; and it only affects him when borrowing, relatively speaking, the cost is smaller.
Despite the various limitations, this Ghost Diary is still considered a very terrifying thing.
You should know, it has a total of 304 pages!
In other words, Chu Jiang can seal 304 ghosts in here, and borrow 304 different abilities. Just thinking about it is really scary.
Of course, the prerequisite for borrowing is that Chu Jiang must first catch 304 ghosts.
Moreover, Chu Jiang can't just make up the numbers, otherwise the sealed ghosts will be weak, and the abilities he can borrow will also be weak. It's not necessary at all.
Temporarily putting down the Ghost Diary, Chu Jiang had a question in his mind.
What is the relationship between the Ghost Diary and the Blood Hand Ghost?
When Chu Jiang first found the diary, the blood handprint was already on the cover.
This is strange, because according to a normal seal, the Blood Hand Ghost should have been sealed inside a regular page; and it should have been a full body image, not just a handprint design.
Could it be that... the blood handprint was originally inside a regular page, but because no one took care of it for a long time, it slowly squeezed out, eventually ending up on the cover?
It's very possible, so it was unlucky. Just when it was about to come out, it went straight into Chu Jiang's body.
Um... you can't really say it's unlucky because Chu Jiang won't live for very long, then it will be free again.
Just as he understood this, Chu Jiang suddenly froze for a moment.
Wait, this diary only sealed a ghost before?
Is it possible that the Ghost Diary originally sealed 304 ghosts, but for some reason, all of these ghosts escaped?
Judging by the rule that the stronger the ghost, the faster they escape.
So the blood handprint should be the weakest, so it was also the slowest...
Chu Jiang thought about this and immediately shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more absurd it sounded. Could the Ghost Diary even be one of the sources of supernatural revival? That's too exaggerated.
By the way, I wonder who brought it to the No. 7 Middle School library, could it be the librarian Xiao Cheng?
Very likely.
Thinking back now, Chu Jiang suspected that Xiao Cheng was a hidden Ghost Master.
Unfortunately, he died for some reason. After a certain period of time, the ghost inside his body naturally revived and formed a ghost tree.
As a result, this ghost tree didn't last long and was ultimately swallowed by Slender Man.
......
Suddenly, a soft knocking sound could be heard from outside the door, but the knocker seemed too afraid to speak.
When Chu Jiang checked the time, he realized that he had been busy for too long. It had been almost forty minutes since Sun Xiaoman escaped from the room.
"It's okay, you don't need to come in. I'll tidy up my things and go out."
For now, Chu Jiang temporarily put aside his thoughts and explorations. He first packed sensitive items like the Ghost Diary and Protective Talisman into his backpack.
"Did you solve it?" Sun Xiaoman's cautious voice came from outside the door. "Do you want me to come in and help you clean up?"
Chu Jiang originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the clutter in the room - the projector, screen, ropes, tape, paint, and teaching materials - he felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Forget it, if you want to help, come in. It's already safe anyway."
With Chu Jiang's permission, Sun Xiaoman cautiously opened the door and entered.
In her hands, she held a frying pan and a staff, looking somewhat nervous.
This made Chu Jiang chuckle. "Are you cosplaying as the Big Bad Wolf?"
Sun Xiaoman sheepishly scratched her head.
"Just put everything down. From this point on, pretend like this never happened."
Sun Xiaoman nodded repeatedly and walked over, asking curiously, "Did you...kill it?"
