The Only Player in 'Child of Stardust'

Chapter 21: Chapter 19 It's time to eat again, brothers!



In front of the exit door.

The Red Ghost Clown wore a bizarre smile, raised her right hand, and pointed lightly at the gigantic pink bubble.

In an instant, the propulsion force created by the explosion vanished into thin air, and the swiftly flying bubble came to a standstill in mid-air.

A slight "pop" sound was heard, and the bubble burst into countless confetti, raining down.

——[Condensed Qi Fist]!

The moment the bubble barrier disappeared, Zhou Yuan threw a punch, the Gang Qi Giant Fist collided forward, accompanied by layers of air rings.

Once again, the Red Ghost Clown pointed, and the Gang Qi Giant Fist likewise exploded into celebratory confetti.

This... Zhou Yuan's heart sank.

"Hahahahaha, stay here, all of you!"

The clown laughed eerily, pinched her thumb and middle finger together, seemingly about to snap her fingers.

At that moment, Zhou Yuan and the others felt their hair stand on end, a strong premonition of death surfaced in their hearts—they absolutely couldn't let her snap her fingers!

A spark of brilliance shone in Jiang Wuming's eyes.

BOOM!

Gravity descended!

In an instant, the clown's right arm was directly torn off by the heavy gravity, falling to the ground, and the floor caved in a small circle with a bang, the severed, bloodied arm deeply embedded in the shattered bricks.

Snap!

A crisp sound was heard.

Even with the severed arm, the clown still managed to snap her fingers.

Silently, Jiang Wuming's head flew off his body, turning into a pale balloon head, his headless corpse fell forward, hitting the ground with a thud.

Zhou Yuan's pupils contracted violently in disbelief.

A Tier 2 extraordinary person had just died like that?

The next second, an unexpected change occurred.

They saw Jiang Wuming's corpse and the floating balloon head all turned into an illusion, gradually fading and disappearing.

The Red Ghost Clown's severed arm rapidly grew back, but an obvious golden mark appeared on her head, the mark was of two crossed swords, like a... duel mark.

"You guys go quickly."

From a distance, Jiang Wuming's calm voice came, he hadn't died, the one before was merely a shadow clone, the real body had remained hidden in a safe spot.

All to draw the Red Ghost Clown's hatred at a crucial moment, allowing Zhou Yuan and the others to retreat smoothly.

As long as his shadow clone was killed, a duel mark would be placed, initiating a forced 1V1 death duel until one side died and the duel mark disappeared.

Just like now, the Red Ghost Clown seemed to completely ignore Zhou Yuan and the other two investigators nearby, her gaze locked on Jiang Wuming, she then opened her bloodied maw full of fangs, leaping non-humanly towards Jiang Wuming.

"Go!"

The two investigators charged straight towards the exit without looking back, slamming the door open with a bang.

Zhou Yuan followed closely, rushing out of the maze world.

"Hurry, time is running out."

The two investigators didn't stop, not relaxing after escaping the maze world, because they had less than 60 seconds left!

Once the time was up, Chen Guangxi would leave, and these living people would immediately become the prime targets of the fierce ghosts!

Wasn't Jiang Wuming doomed to die then? Even if he escaped the maze world, he would face numerous fierce ghosts... Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel respect, thinking how worthy the investigators of the Federation were of admiration, sacrificing themselves without hesitation, such fearless spirit was truly moving. He definitely couldn't do it.

...

The midnight bell chimed, and Happy Castle awakened from its slumber, the people who once died reappeared in the world, the entire amusement park no longer desolate and lonely, but genuinely bustling, with tourists everywhere.

Couples in love, friends in groups, families of three with cheerful laughter, pretty girls holding hands, children chasing and playing... everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.

However, as Zhou Yuan and the other two sprinted past, the beautiful illusion shattered instantly, and the tourists all turned into hideous fierce ghosts, bloodshot eyes filled with crimson veins, pouncing at them like ravenous beasts.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Zhou Yuan screamed frantically in his mind, feeling a chill at the back of his head, he had never seen such a scene, it was so goddamn terrifying!

The three of them ran for their lives, not knowing how many fierce ghosts they attracted, forming a dense wave of ghosts behind them, if they stumbled, they would be torn to pieces by countless fierce ghosts in the next second!

"There!"

They passed through an invisible barrier, and the two investigators finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowing down.

Seeing them so confident, Zhou Yuan also felt reassured, panting as he turned back to look.

At this moment, the fierce ghosts chasing them seemed to suddenly lose their target, shaking their heads, looking somewhat funny and ridiculous.

About ten seconds later, the fierce ghosts returned to their previous forms, looking puzzled, as if wondering what they were doing, then dispersed one after the other.

"We set up a barrier here to lower presence, isolating ghost perception." An investigator said as they walked towards a nearby building.

It was the amusement park's employee rest hall, now the investigators' base.

As for the park employees wandering in the rest hall, naturally, they had been properly dealt with.

The first floor of the hall was a restaurant, where all the investigators Zhou Yuan had seen before were gathered, with two healing-type extraordinary persons treating the injured.

The number of injured was not small, each person was bloodied all over, with countless cuts, as if they had been through a blade storm, making for a gruesome sight.
