Chapter 70 -61 A Major Strategy
A sea of blood filled my sight, crimson waves churning.
This was the interior of Fang Qing’s sea of blood.
More than forty figures were tightly bound to beds formed from solidified blood, each person’s eyes filled with terror.
Everyone involved in the incident back then, along with their families, were here.
Aside from Luo Sen, the others were all ordinary people, so capturing them hadn’t required much effort. Once the Ghost Domain opened, they were pulled directly into the sea of blood.
Faced with the crowd’s pleas and curses, Fang Qing remained indifferent. She casually selected one person, condensed a scalpel from the blood, and cut through the man’s skin.
As a journalist, Fang Qing didn’t know how to torture someone, but she could learn, she could practice. With so many subjects here, she could use each one multiple times. She believed that with enough practice, she would surely become a qualified torturer.
Instantly, agonizing screams echoed throughout the sea of blood.
The man watched in horror as his abdomen was sliced open, his organs removed one by one. Under normal circumstances, he would have died from the pain, but Fang Qing made sure he stayed conscious to fully experience the soul-deep agony.

After a “surgery,” Fang Qing was particularly satisfied. Though it was her first time, the result was impressive; those screams were music to her ears.
Then, under the man’s horrified gaze, she stuffed his organs and bones back into place. A splash of blood, and the wounds healed as if nothing had happened.
“You… you…”
The man trembled all over, finally unable to hold back his scream, “You demon!”
He understood what Fang Qing intended to do, and he couldn’t suppress his fear, his dread, his overwhelming desire to die!
Dismembering, healing, re-dismembering, healing again…
Fang Qing intended to torture them into madness!
No… this demon wouldn’t even let them go mad!
“Demon? Perhaps. But remember, it was you who created me, you who released this demon.”
Fang Qing’s gaze was calm as she lifted the scalpel and cut through the man’s skin again, “All of this, you brought upon yourselves.”
The man’s screams resounded once more.
“…Hey, did you forget I’m here too?”
Zhou Yuan’s exasperated voice came from behind.
“Ah…”
Fang Qing gasped, turning around to see Zhou Yuan, who had been waiting there for an unknown period. She quickly apologized.
“Sorry, I really did forget… Did I scare you?”
“You did scare me. At least I won’t be eating beef offal for a few days.”
Zhou Yuan looked at Fang Qing, whose hands were soaked in blood, his expression complicated.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s just… the contrast is a bit too stark. You know, contrast.”
Fang Qing nodded in understanding, looking down at her blood-stained palms, “I get what you mean. The old me could never have done something so twisted, but now that I’m a Fierce Ghost, certain things have changed without me realizing it. Killing feels as natural to me as slaughtering fish.”
“You know this is sick, right?”
“I’m self-aware. But twisted as it is, I sincerely feel a sense of satisfaction.”
Fang Qing spoke earnestly, “Nothing is more pleasing than seeing your enemy’s miserable wails.”
“To be honest, you’re right.”
Zhou Yuan walked over, looking at the man, his brows furrowing in disgust.
“Kill me… kill me…” The man pleaded, looking at him with desperate eyes.
Zhou Yuan ignored him indifferently, walking straight to Du Kanghui’s side.
He had some questions for him.
Because the moment he saw Du Kanghui, the Eyes of Identification displayed the following prompt:
“As one of Ms. Blood’s top enemies, this dead fatso had been living quite comfortably these recent years, completely unaware of the terrifying wrath he was about to face.
Here’s a little secret: The site for Wanxiang Plaza was chosen by someone who set up a Gathering Yin Formation. There is an undisclosed conspiracy behind this, and coincidentally, this fat-eared guy once met that person.
Here’s another little secret, buildings like this… are not the only ones.”
It wasn’t hard to see that someone was playing a grand game.
While Zhou Yuan didn’t understand much about geomancy, mysticism, and formations, he had some basic knowledge. The person who set up the Gathering Yin Formation had specifically chosen the site, indicating that the land at Wanxiang Plaza held something extraordinary.
It might be geomancy, it might be something else.
To nurture a Fierce Ghost like Fang Qing in a populous area with strong yang energy showed just how high the specifications of the Gathering Yin Formation were, and how special that area was.
If the other party succeeded in nurturing whatever they intended, it would be a disaster.
Even more frightening was that Wanxiang Plaza wasn’t the only such place!
Other places hadn’t been interrupted by someone like Fang Qing, and the things being nurtured there might already be fully formed…
Additionally, alongside the prompt came a new system task.
“Task Trigger Condition Met”
“Task Name: A Grand Game”
“Phase One Objective: Uncover the identity and purpose of the mastermind”
“Reward 1: Experience Points *500”
“Reward 2: Star Coins *3000”
The rewards for the first phase were so generous, one could only imagine the rewards for the subsequent phases.
This also implied that the task’s difficulty was high, given that the mastermind dared to cause trouble in Xinhu…
“Let me ask you a question. Who decided on the site for Wanxiang Plaza back then?” Zhou Yuan asked directly.
“If I tell… will you spare my life?” Du Kanghui still clung to unrealistic hopes.
“Hmph.” Zhou Yuan sneered, “If you don’t talk, I’ll let her use the methods she used on that person on you.”
Du Kanghui shivered, and though he couldn’t see being tied to the bed, the sound of the screams alone had him horrified.
“Even if I tell you, she’ll torture me sooner or later. Why should I help you?” Du Kanghui tried to maintain some bravado.
Zhou Yuan smiled, his 12 points of Charm making his smile particularly bright and friendly. He leaned close to Du Kanghui’s ear and whispered,
“If you talk, I’ll find a way to give you a quick death.”
“…”
Shouldn’t you spare my life or let me go?
Du Kanghui hesitated but hearing the man’s anguished screams, his resolve wavered.
Years of experience taught him that if forced to choose between torture and a quick death, always choose the latter.
“So… we have a deal?”
Du Kanghui felt Zhou Yuan wasn’t the type to lie.
“Deal.”
Du Kanghui paused, “Swear on your mother’s life.”
“?”
Zhou Yuan blinked, then nodded, “Alright.”
