The Only Player in 'Child of Stardust'-Chapter 68 - 59 Ghost Domain
Chapter 68: Chapter 59 Ghost Domain
Chapter 68 -59 Ghost Domain
The villa living room.
Guo Zhong was leisurely drinking tea while watching a TV drama.
With the money and connections he had accumulated over the years at Blueprint Group, he had started his own company a year ago, earning more than he did before and without having to be anyone’s lackey. It couldn’t feel better.
“Dad, you’re not asleep yet.”
The door opened, and Guo Zhong’s son, Guo Xiaolong, walked in, with dyed blond hair and a carefree, flamboyant demeanor typical of a rich, spoiled brat.
“I will sleep soon. You should go to bed early too, don’t stay up late.”
Guo Zhong spoiled his son greatly. Even though he spent his days hanging around bars and with women, it didn’t matter to him. As long as he was around, he could handle whatever trouble arose, even if his son encountered someone tough. He could always figure out a solution through his connections.
With both money and power, one could become renowned. Having both meant being one of the Heavenly Dragon People.
“Why does it feel a bit cold?” Guo Xiaolong shivered.
“Have you been overindulging lately?”
Guo Zhong raised his eyebrows, “How many times have I told you? To have moderation, what will you do if your kidneys fail? I’m still waiting for you to carry on the family line.”
“Dad, it’s not like it’s the old days anymore. If my kidneys fail, I can just clone new ones and have them transplanted.”
At the mention of this, Guo Zhong got angry, “Damn, you know how expensive the greedy bastards at Eternal Gene are. They wanted a hundred million for some genetic enhancements! Don’t come to me for money then!”
Guo Xiaolong shrank back. He had already replaced his kidneys with the latest mechanical implants, and even his lower parts were now a powerful cannon, with unlimited ammo and zero cooldown. He could even adjust the intensity of the sensation. Every guy who tried it found it amazing.
If his dad found out, he would surely skin him alive.
Suddenly, Guo Zhong shivered too, goosebumps rising all over his body, “It’s a bit cold, is the air conditioner set too low?”
Buzz…
Suddenly, the lights in the living room went out.
“Damn, why did the power go out?” Guo Zhong cursed.
The next second, the lights came back on, but the entire atmosphere in the living room had changed eerily, filled with an icy, deathly stillness.
“Dad…”
Guo Xiaolong was frozen, his face pale, staring in terror behind Guo Zhong.
Guo Zhong spun around and saw a blood-red, malevolent figure with poisonous eyes fixated on him.
“Ah!”
Guo Zhong screamed in terror, his heart almost leaping out of his chest.
Crash!
Thick blood surged, like a massive wave, and knocked the father and son to the ground.
Countless arms reached out from the blood, grabbing them tightly, dragging them downwards.
“No… No!”
The two struggled desperately, but it was no use. The icy, bone-chilling blood gradually submerged them.
With a splash, father and son disappeared into the blood, leaving no trace.
“Is that all?”
Zhou Yuan stepped out from the shadows, “Killing them like this is too easy for them.”
“I will torture them in the sea of blood.” Fang Qing’s words were filled with malevolence and cruelty. Becoming a Fierce Ghost had affected her personality, and seeing her enemies only fueled her rage more.
“Your ability is quite ideal for silencing people without leaving any trace.” Zhou Yuan pointed to the ceiling, “His wife is sleeping upstairs. Are you going to kill her too?”
“Kill.” Fang Qing’s eyes brimmed with rage as the sea of blood roiled, “They killed my entire family. Shouldn’t I kill their whole family in revenge?”
“Go ahead.” Zhou Yuan didn’t stop her. He had seen all the related files, and none were innocent.
Besides, leaving the roots untouched only lets them regrow. Better to eliminate evil for the people.
He walked to the window and looked out. A thick fog had enveloped the villa, cutting it off from the outside world.
This was Fang Qing’s Ghost Domain.
A ghost in its domain was almost invincible, and those with a Ghost Domain were exceptionally rare.
Moments later, Fang Qing came downstairs, “It’s done.”
“Wait, let me find their safe.” Zhou Yuan said. Since they were here, they might as well take something.
Using the Eyes of Identification, Zhou Yuan quickly located the safe.
[The code is 7720]
Click.
The safe opened, filled with gold bars, stacks of cash, a lot of jewelry, and many property deeds.
“Hm?”
Zhou Yuan found a notebook and opened it, revealing a wry smile.
It was a record of crimes.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Murder, embezzlement, bribery—Guo Zhong had meticulously documented all his crimes.
“Why do these people love writing down what they’ve done?”
Zhou Yuan tucked the notebook into his backpack. If this was made public, the entire Xinhu would be thrown into chaos, as it involved many notable figures.
“It’s quite common. Some people do it for psychological comfort, some for self-reflection, and some in hope of redeeming themselves for reduced sentences in the future,” Fang Qing said, having seen many similar things.
“Let’s go to the next house.”

Hengde Building, sixty-sixth floor.
The interior decor was opulent and luxurious.
This was Du Yonghui’s private residence, his self-made paradise.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the brightly lit Xinhu, a sense of incomparable satisfaction surged within him.
The accident two years ago had almost destroyed his life, but he had survived it and seemed to have been reborn.
First, he gradually undermined and replaced the former chairman of Blueprint Group. Then, he devoured the group entirely and built it into his own business empire, making himself one of the top five figures in Xinhu.
Although he was a newcomer in the elite power game, like a stray dog to the real bigshots, to many others, he was the highly regarded, prominent chairman of Yongkang Group.
He stood above millions.
Sipping his wine happily, Du Yonghui sat on the sofa and took out his phone, browsing for tonight’s companion.
“Sleeping with college girls these days is getting boring. Maybe I should find a starlet. That last one with those curves and that peach bottom was amazing…” Du Yonghui felt his excitement rising.
Just then, the lights flickered.
“Hm?”
An elegant man with glasses, who had been reading in the corner, looked up, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Luo Sen stood up, looking out the window at the thick fog that had silently surrounded the building, plunging the outside into darkness.
“Be careful, there’s an enemy!”
Luo Sen immediately realized what this might be—the Ghost Domain he had read about in forums!
Crash!
Dense blood oozed from every corner of the room, turning the space a menacing crimson like a tsunami.
Terrified, the fat, big-eared Du Yonghui crawled behind Luo Sen, the only place he felt any semblance of safety.
Over the years, he had encountered supernatural events, and some extraordinary people had tried to kill him, but Luo Sen always kept him safe.
Luo Sen was his greatest assurance!
In the room, the blood churned, and a figure slowly formed from the sea of blood.
“Such powerful energy… A fifth-rank? Impossible!”
Luo Sen’s eyes flashed with shock. How had Du Yonghui provoked such a high-level ghost?
After a moment of shock, his eyes turned calm, entering battle mode.
He was a fourth-rank extraordinary person, though a rank lower than the fifth-rank ghost. As both were mid-level, he wasn’t without hope. With all his cards played, he could escape the Ghost Domain with Du Yonghui. The Control Bureau would handle the ghost afterward.
But as a fiery red barrier lit up, Luo Sen’s calm shattered instantly.
He was horrified to find his rank rapidly regressing, finally stopping at the first rank!
This… This can’t be!!
More shocking than encountering a fifth-rank Fierce Ghost, Luo Sen’s usually calm demeanor was replaced with noticeable panic.
