My name is Jiang Jiuguo. When you see my diary, you have already... read the 32 words I wrote, o(*≧▽≦)ツ
This is the first day after my first transformation from taking the ghost sequence formula.
After receiving a blood transfusion and eating some food, I feel much better now. I can speak normally, but I still can't walk on my own.
As for the changes after the first transformation.
I feel my strength has become much greater than before, and my somewhat nearsighted eyes seem to no longer be nearsighted.
Then the recovery power is also astonishing.
For a normal person, a severe injury would take a hundred days to heal, and I'd need to lie in bed for at least a year. But after the transformation, my bones and skin have healed, leaving only ordinary wounds.
Additionally.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
I think my skin has become very smooth, and the pimples on my face are all gone... [Day 2 after taking the ghost sequence formula, Weather: Unknown]:
Today is the second day of the transformation.
Still unable to walk on my own, body remains weak.
However, my feeling from yesterday was not wrong.
My skin has indeed improved. My roommate told me my skin hasn't just become smoother, but also much fairer.
My thoughts on this are.
I hope the beauty-obsessed girls don't find out about this, or they'd be jealous to death.
After all, I don't need to spend money on cosmetics like Helena Rubinstein or SK2, or go to a beauty salon, to have fair skin.
Suddenly feeling anticipation.
Can't wait for my sister to be envious when I go back... Time flies... [Day 5 after taking the ghost sequence formula, Weather: Asked No. 35, scorching sun, no clouds]:
Today is the fifth day of the transformation, a day worth celebrating.
There are two reasons.
The first is that No. 35 brought me the envelope paper I wanted.
He really is a 'cold-faced but warm-hearted mama-san'. The envelope paper he prepared for me to write home on isn't the cheap kind that costs a few dollars, but rather expensive paper.
And!
It even has cute crayon shin-chan patterns.
I seem to have discovered No. 35's surprising interest.
The second is that my body has basically recovered.
No longer needing my roommate's support, I can walk on my own.
Other than that.
No other changes for now... As he finished recording the changes of the fifth day in his diary.
Jiang Jiuguo stretched: "Finally finished the diary. Here, for you."
He handed the diary to No. 35, who was waiting beside him.
During these days, No. 35 personally came every day to check on Jiang Jiuguo's changes and review the diary, ensuring he was aware of Jiang Jiuguo's daily physical condition.
"Let's go."
After reading the diary, No. 35 returned it to Jiang Jiuguo.
Besides checking on Jiang Jiuguo and his diary daily, he also took Jiang Jiugou for physical examinations.
After all, Jiang Jiuguo was a captured individual; his diary entries couldn't be fully trusted. They needed to be cross-checked with medical equipment to ensure the accuracy of the diary's content.
"Okay."
Jiang Jiuguo greeted Zhou Fengchun, who was huddled in the corner.
"I'm going for a check-up. I might bring some food back later. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Bring some zongzi. I want to eat them."
Zhou Fengchun didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Jiuguo, grinning as he made his request.
Jiang Jiuguo gave an 'OK' sign.
Then he walked out of the room.
Following No. 35 to the underground fourth floor for a physical examination.
"You seem to be in a good mood today." Jiang Jiuguo suddenly remarked along the way.
"Huh?"
No. 35 was taken aback.
But his face remained as expressionless as ever.
It was hard to understand how Jiang Jiuguo could tell he was in a good mood.
Even No. 35 himself thought so; he knew his face couldn't show much expression.
"A feeling." Jiang Jiuguo, seeing No. 35's confusion, offered a smiling explanation.
A very sharp feeling.
No. 35 narrowed his eyes, glanced at Jiang Jiuguo a few times, then turned away without responding.
He had no intention of sharing his joy.
Jiang Jiuguo shrugged, not planning to press further.
After these days of interaction, he had pretty much figured out No. 35's personality: cold on the outside, warm on the inside. If he wanted to answer a question, he would; if not, no amount of pestering would work.
"After the examination, don't go back. Come with me to the Second-Floor Hall."
No. 35 spoke up at this moment.
"What for?"
Jiang Jiuguo knew of the Second-Floor Hall.
That was where he had previously adapted to the ghost sequence cornerstone.
"Your body has recovered. You can go with the same batch of people to learn about the Ghost Sequence." No. 35 said.
Hearing this.
Jiang Jiuguo stopped walking.
In the next second, a smile spread across his handsome, refined face.
"I can go to learn too."
During his recovery, Zhou Fengchun and No. 35 had told Jiang Jiuguo... for whatever reason.
No. 35 and his group would teach those who had taken the ghost sequence formula certain knowledge, including information related to the Ghost Sequence.
Now that Jiang Jiuguo had survived the first transformation and was temporarily alive, he had time to learn about the Ghost Sequence, to understand the purpose of No. 35 and his group in capturing them, and so on.
"Yes."
No. 35 nodded: "Your body has mostly recovered. You can go with them to learn."
"With them? Then I'll be behind schedule."
Others had taken the formula soon after adaptation, while he had taken it nearly a month later. If he joined them now, the progress gap wouldn't be just a little.
"Yes."
No. 35 remained his usual self, responding curtly.
"You only adapted to the fourth ghost sequence keystone. There's no need to teach you separately; it would be a waste of our time. We are very busy."
Jiang Jiuguo instinctively asked: "Busy with what?"
Having been in this place for almost a month, Jiang Jiuguo had not given up on the idea of escaping.
Every time he handled the corpses, he would observe the underground second to fourth floors.
He discovered... the people here were almost always elusive. Even the resident members like No. 35 and No. 47 would often disappear for at least a day or two.
Jiang Jiuguo had once asked No. 35 out of curiosity.
The answer given was only three words—go to handle business.
But through subsequent observation.
Jiang Jiuguo himself found some clues. The 'business' No. 35 and the others went to handle was definitely not simple; it was at least very dangerous.
Because.
Every time No. 35 returned from handling business, he was always somewhat injured.
Not just No. 35, but also No. 47 and others. Many of them never appeared again after going to handle business, presumably all dead.
This wasn't Jiang Jiuguo's wild imagination.
Although there was no evidence to prove these people died, Jiang Jiuguo noticed that every time they went out, their expressions were grave. Once someone went out and didn't return, someone else would come to replace them after a few days.
What kind of business could kill people like No. 35?
Keep in mind that these people are said to have successfully transformed; they are truly capable of becoming ghosts.
At this moment.
Facing Jiang Jiuguo's inquiry.
No. 35 slightly turned his head. Jiang Jiuguo had asked him this question more than once, and each time he had no intention of answering. But this time, he provided an explanation.
"Going to destroy the Ghost Gate Pass." He said slowly...
