Chapter 98: Officially Taking Office
Unfortunately, the conclusion of the paper is: maybe with various strange abilities, one could achieve thought substitution; but eventually, the human thoughts will be assimilated by the instincts of the ghost.
In other words, in a short period of time, this person will become very powerful. However, human strength can never be compared to the power of a ghost, and eventually human nature will turn into "ghostly nature".
It's even possible to create a terrifying situation: this ghost, possessing human thinking, will be extremely intelligent and will no longer rigidly follow the patterns of killing.
It's like a cold killing machine suddenly acquiring high-level AI.
This is no longer a situation of a person taking over a ghost, but rather a ghost taking over a person, not only occupying the body, but also your spirit and intelligence.
Therefore, this expert with the surname Liu wrote at the end: Don't attempt it lightly, you might give birth to an uncontrollable, unconstrained ghost, this ghost may even live like a normal person and cause great destruction to this world.
After finishing reading, Chu Jiang could only smile bitterly; indeed, the institute hired experts for good reason, they had already considered various possibilities.
In this way, even if Chu Jiang can really do it, exchange heads, he still wouldn't dare to try easily.
Not to mention, according to the rules summarized about Stretching Ghost, the person whose head is exchanged would still think everything is normal.
If the head is switched to a ghost's body, the ghost who had its head switched would still think it is a ghost.
Moreover, after the head is exchanged, there is also the problem of a head rotting. When the head is almost rotten, it's time to switch to another body.
Chu Jiang can't guarantee that if his head is almost rotten, he can still stay alive.
In short, for the time being, excluding Stretching Ghost, Chu Jiang still decided to seal off the Little Theater.
Of course, not sealing it now, but sealing it at midnight on the day when the decision about handling supernatural events is made. This way, it can perfectly foresee what will happen throughout the whole day.
If it's really impossible to be so precise with the timing, the sealing should be done before coming into direct contact with the ghost.
When it comes to the Little Theater, its murder rule should be:
Kill all the actors who don't follow the script; kill the actors who are destined to die in the script. After the script is completed, the ghost will return to its original state and then seek out the next script to create the next stage.
In other words, if Chu Jiang wants to borrow Ghost Domain through the Ghost Diary in the future, he has to prepare a script first. Otherwise, it may be impossible to unfold Ghost Domain.
By the way, with only half the power of the original ghost, I don't know if this Ghost Domain can be unfolded. I hope it can, even if it's just a weakened version.
......
After deciding on the sealing order, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary.
He wanted to try what Chen Yehua said earlier, to see if he could shrink the Ghost Diary.
It would be best if it could be the size of a pendant, so he could wear it on his belt or make it into a necklace.
For this, Chu Jiang tried to cover the diary with his palm, trying to make changes through violent and non-violent means, such as slashing it with a few hand knives.
But the result was... it was completely useless. The Ghost Diary wouldn't burn, get wet, or be pierced by a knife or gun.
"Forget it, I'll just use it as a shield for my heart," Chu Jiang said with self-mockery.
Of course, he didn't dare to go too far. After all, it was a level-zero seal, and if it got angry, it could just swallow Chu Jiang's words whole. He would have nowhere to cry.
......
Changing into comfortable casual clothes, Chu Jiang left the hotel and headed towards Tianfeng Mansion in the city center. Today was his official first day on the job.
Some matters are more urgent than others, so Chu Jiang decided to first deal with the death of the previous person in charge. At the very least, he wanted to understand the reason. He didn't want to die in office without knowing the truth.
Unlike Yuetian City, Tianfeng Mansion only had three floors on top, which served as the office area for the person in charge.
Moreover, after looking through the branch information, Chu Jiang realized that there were only five employees here. Two of them were responsible for cleaning, and they had no idea what kind of company the Research Institute branch was. They even thought they were involved in money laundering...
This can't be considered shabby. It mainly involves supernatural events, so employees cannot be recruited casually to prevent leaking any special information and causing chaos in the outside world.
Besides, dealing with supernatural events still relies on the Ghost Master. Regular people can only lend a hand. In fact, some city managers don't even recruit any subordinates; they only trust themselves.
In Luohe City, there are only three official employees: Luo Yifeng, the assistant; Lin Yun, the telephone operator; and Chen Keai, the finance personnel.
---------------------------
It was a sunny day today. Chen Keai wore sunglasses and a fresh, long dress, carrying a Chanel bag. She drove her beloved red Mercedes all the way to Tianfeng Mansion.
Even though the car was rented and the bag was an imitation, it didn't bother Chen Keai at all. She felt really good about herself.
She thought she must have accumulated great fortune from her past life to come across this job that paid well and was ridiculously easy in such a coincidental situation.
Can you imagine? She went to work every day and just sat there, watching the computer, binge-watching shows, and playing with her phone. As soon as it was time to leave, she confidently walked out.
As for the work content, it was really scarce. It seemed like most of the company's financial transactions were done through the boss's personal account, hardly using the company's official account.
Although Chen Keai was also worried about legal issues and the possibility of being inspected by the tax department, she even had a momentary concern that this might be a money laundering company.
You know, for such a prime location in the city center, even occupying the top three floors of Tianfeng Mansion, the whole company only had three employees?
And this boss is very mysterious, like he's involved in shady business, and he even has secret dealings with police officers. No matter how you look at it, something is not right.
But! But Chen Keai had to admit, this was the best job she had found since graduating from college a year ago.
Not to mention how easy it is, she gets to hold a cup of coffee every day, on the high floor of the building, with her back to the window, taking a beautiful selfie; then she shares it on her social media and all her classmates and friends express envy.
And Chen Keai is actually in charge of the company's accounts, at least she can't see any problems from her side, even if you have to fake the records for money laundering, right??
Lastly, it seems like this boss really has a close relationship with the police, so for the time being, nobody should come knocking on the door to investigate.
Plus, all the accounts she handles are real and reliable, so if anything goes wrong, Chen Keai can ensure that she won't be sent to jail.
If the people investigating the case ask why she stayed at this company when she noticed something was wrong, she can just say she was young and naive, and got deceived by the boss.
After a little self-hypnosis, Chen Keai started her slacking off career at this company, peacefully alongside Xinxin. And she earns 12,000 yuan per month! It's more than double what she made at her previous job.
She firmly believes that as long as she saves up money, she'll have a car in the future, and a house too. And if she can also snag a rich guy, her life will be perfect.
