Chapter 79: Idealism or Materialism?
In the laboratory, Chen Yehua first did some psychological work with Chu Jiang, hoping he wouldn't hide anything, because it would only be harmful to himself in the end.
This time, Chu Jiang was also very open and told Chen Yehua all the information he knew about the Blood Hand Ghost.
Chen Yehua's eyes lit up after hearing it, especially when he learned that the Blood Hand Ghost had a deadly killing pattern.
After going through a series of trials and even killing two innocent little mice, Chu Jiang finally left the research lab.
Chen Yehua commented after coming out, "The ghost on you has great potential."
"What you currently possess is actually only a small portion of its power, which is also related to the low degree of the Blood Hand Ghost's recovery."
"If fully unleashed, even if you choose the path of hypnosis, it won't be any worse. Having more ghosts on you doesn't necessarily make you stronger."
To put it simply, it's about quality. Unless you can overpower quality with quantity.
Chu Jiang finished listening and thought to himself, "If I tell you that Blood Hand Ghost might just be the weakest ghost that Ghost Diary has sealed, what would you think?"
Of course, the term "weakest" is just a guess, maybe it's not that weak. But Chu Jiang still felt worried about the future of this world, thinking that it looked like it was heading towards destruction.
Back at his office desk, Expert Chen checked the latest data on his computer, then he said, "Unfortunately, there are currently no ghosts in stock that are highly suitable for you."
"However, there is one ghost with the codename 'Ghost Clay', and I estimate that there is a fifty percent chance of achieving a balance if it is implanted in you."
"Ghost Clay should be able to absorb the blood that flows from Blood Hand Ghost's hands to some extent, providing temporary suppression."
"On the other hand, the ghost can also restrain Ghost Clay, preventing it from assimilating you into a clump of soil."
"Also, if you want to implant this, the earlier the better, because I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ghost Clay to completely restrain it once Blood Hand Ghost is fully revived."
Can earth conquer water?
Chu Jiang simply remembered this name and didn't rush to introduce a second ghost. "Keep searching for me, and let me know if you find one highly suitable."
"Okay, I will personally help you lead the transplant program."
The matter of solving the resurrection of the fierce ghost was settled, but Chen Yehua still had a doubt.
"Something strange is that, based on my observations and experience, Blood Hand Ghost should not have any hierarchical relationship with Yan Wanli's ghost corpse."
"If that's the case, it is very likely related to that sealed object of yours."
Of course, Chen Yehua was just talking to himself, and he didn't expect Chu Jiang to give him an answer. What sealed object he had was his own business.
"Can we keep this speculation from Yan Wanli?" Chu Jiang asked.
"Of course, and all the detailed files of the responsible ghosts are classified as top secret."
"Not to mention that Yan Wanli is the captain, even other experts don't have the authority to access them. It must be agreed upon by the higher-ups, you, and me, before they can be viewed."
Chu Jiang relaxed a bit and said, "Okay, before we leave, can I ask you some small questions privately? After all, it's rare to meet an expert."
Chu Jiang guessed that if it weren't for him being able to survive with a few classmates in the A-class event, and if it weren't for him being able to perfectly control the ghost on Yan Wanli, things would be different.
So, this time the person responsible for providing solutions for Chu Jiang is at most a level one researcher.
"Ask whatever you want, I'll answer depending on how I feel," Chen Yehua continued operating the computer.
Chu Jiang's first question was, "You should know where Zhang Haoran is now, right?"
This caught Chen Yehua's interest, "Almost forgot, you guys are classmates and survivors of the same event."
"Speaking of him, he's really interesting!"
Chen Yehua even couldn't help standing up and pacing back and forth in the office.
Um..." Chu Jiang looked at the easily overlooked guy with a gaze that said, "Is he always like this?
The guy nodded expressionlessly, as if he were already used to it.
"Why do I say he is interesting? You should know, we are in a world where ghosts really exist."
"And in such a world, there appeared a person who absolutely didn't believe in ghosts."
"And he cannot see ghosts, and ghosts cannot harm him. For him, it seems like there really are no ghosts in this world."
"So you're asking, is Zhang Haoran an idealist or a materialist?"
"If you say he's an idealist, he firmly believes that there are no ghosts in the world and that all supernatural creatures are fabrications, like paper tigers. Only science is the eternal truth."
"If you say he's a materialist, but he possesses an incredible ability. As long as his belief is resolute enough, he can be immune to the harm from any terrifying or fierce ghost, and even reach the point of completely ignoring them!"
"You should know, not everyone can be like him. We conducted experiments a long time ago, and even the most materialistic and science-minded people had to admit defeat against real ghosts."
"So, Zhang Haoran is definitely currently the only extremely rare and unique individual!"
"Wait a minute!" Chu Jiang couldn't help but interrupt Chen Yehua's long speech. If he didn't know better, he would have thought Zhang Haoran was some kind of magical creature. "Wasn't it said that only the power of ghosts can counter ghosts?"
"Is it possible that Zhang Haoran became a ghost master without even knowing it?"
Chen Yehua took a moment to calm down. He adjusted his glasses and said, "It's possible, but based on the current test results, he is purely human and doesn't possess any supernatural powers."
"Can Zhang Haoran be the breakthrough? The breakthrough to eliminate the global resurgence of supernatural beings."
"Currently, we are researching in that direction, but unfortunately, we have made no progress."
Chen Yehua paced back and forth. "Zhang Haoran's ability is a double-edged sword. Although he cannot be harmed by the supernatural, he also cannot harm them."
"What's even more unfortunate is that he can't even use supernatural powers. Even if he has a level-zero sealing object, he can't use it. He can only watch."
"Initially, the higher-ups wanted to train Zhang Haoran to work together with the ghost master for some special missions. Although I believe this approach is a waste and low-level, unfortunately, Zhang Haoran can't even do this."
"He is impervious to the supernatural, maybe he can deal with ordinary ghost masters, but he has no way to deal with ghosts."
"And powerful ghost masters often possess various ghostly characteristics. Even if Zhang Haoran had heavy firepower weapons, he wouldn't be able to kill these half-human, half-ghost beings."
"Even so, Ghost Master could use powerful weapons to kill Zhang Haoran, who is just a regular person."
