Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Tattoo Ability Inheritance

If the Life Pattern Master’s abilities can be transferred.

Through something similar to the Lu Ban Skill’s artificial beast, or even through skin grafting methods.

It could allow ordinary people to possess the abilities of a Life Pattern Master.

This would definitely be a deeply disturbing thought.

Before the supernatural invasion, the dark web was already trading human organs secretly.

The abilities of a Life Pattern Master are far more valuable than any human organ.

You have to realize, a newly awakened rookie Life Pattern Master doesn’t have many means of self-preservation.

If, at that time, besides themselves, others also discovered this.

Then....

Will there be some people with power and influence hunting newly awakened Life Pattern Masters to transfer those abilities to themselves?

”Brother Lin, if tattoo abilities can be inherited!”

”This would be a good thing for us humans! Just like you said, if all of us with extraordinary abilities die in battle, then our descendants would face extinction.”

”But if tattoo abilities can be inherited, our descendants can continue to fight against evil spirits.” At this point, Wen Yingying paused for a moment, then said, ”It’s like organ donation, after people die, they donate their organs; it’s like living in another way.”

”Before the cataclysm, I was an organ donation volunteer!”

Lin Yuan said with a cold face: ”No! This matter is too difficult to control!”

”If someone else, like us, discovers this secret, there will definitely be incidents of hunting newly awakened Life Pattern Masters and transferring their abilities to themselves.”

”If such things happen, it would be an absolute nightmare for the newly awakened Life Pattern Masters.”

Wen Yingying’s profession is Tattoo Artist.

Before the supernatural invasion, besides tattooing, it was all about watching dramas and scrolling short videos every day.

She is very smart, but she has had too little contact with people and things, underestimating the depravity of human nature.

Indeed, if tattoo abilities can be inherited.

It is indeed like organ donation, a good thing.

But the premise is everything must be compliant and controllable.

If it is passed on after one dies in battle, there’s no problem with that.

But, what if not?

Suppose a Life Pattern Master has just awakened and is still a rookie.

Someone controls them, literally skins them alive, transferring it to themselves.

You have to know, in the dark corners of the law-governed society before the supernatural invasion, there were still illegal organ trades.

In the world after the supernatural invasion, it’s a survival of the fittest, where power is respected.

If others come to know of this matter...

It’s hard to imagine whether there would be a situation of killing, skinning, and transplanting all-in-one services.

However, when Lin Yuan thought about it.

It was after seeing the Painted Skin Demon that he associated these ideas.

Besides the Painted Skin Demon, he hadn’t seen any other deceitful charm or evil spirits capable of using Life Pattern Master abilities.

In the current version 1.0 of the supernatural invasion, the Painted Skin Demon is considered the big boss.

Perhaps, aside from himself, no one else could have encountered the Painted Skin Demon and still lived!

In this perspective, no one is likely to think about the transplantation of Life Pattern Master abilities anytime soon.

In reality, even if such things do happen, just by Lin Yuan’s efforts alone, he couldn’t change anything.

In fact, during the three years before Lin Yuan’s rebirth, countless such incidents had already happened.

It’s just that, in his past life, he was just an ordinary person, with no contact with these matters at all.

All Lin Yuan could do was protect the people around him and prevent this matter from leaking from his end.

As of now, as long as he doesn’t talk, others are unlikely to discover this matter anytime soon.

”Secrecy, this matter must be strictly confidential!”

”No one is allowed to speak of this matter. Understand?” Lin Yuan said with a very stern tone.

Wen Yingying immediately raised two fingers like a sword, appearing obedient, swearing with full confidence: ”I promise, I absolutely won’t tell anyone!”

”I won’t speak even if it kills me!”

For Wen Yingying, Lin Yuan still had trust.

At the moment, Wen Yingying’s main trait is obedience.

If you tell her to go east, she won’t go west; if you tell her to hit a dog, she won’t chase chickens.

Lin Yuan’s words were aimed at Geng Youcai.

Firstly, Geng Youcai had just defected to him, and it was a forced defection.

Whether he is trustworthy is still questionable.

Secondly, he’s an inventor or, in other words, a civilian scientist.

All scientists are definitely madmen.

Just now, when Lin Yuan mentioned the possibility of transferring tattoo abilities, his eyes lit up brightly.

He even seemed eager to personally try operating on a tattoo transfer.

It’s based on these two considerations that Lin Yuan had some distrust towards this guy.

However, Geng Youcai is very timid.

He probably has the desire but lacks the courage.

Moreover, he’s a non-combat type Life Pattern Master, essentially the weakest among the weak.

Even with the desire and courage, he lacks the ability.

Lin Yuan pressed down Wen Yingying’s swearing hand, saying: ”I wasn’t referring to you!”

Geng Youcai: ”?????”

Geng Youcai thought, if it’s not about her, then surely it’s about me?

Regarding Lin Yuan, Geng Youcai was extremely terrified.

Worried that Lin Yuan wouldn’t trust him, Geng Youcai quickly said: ”I won’t mention it to anyone, for sure!”

”Boss Lin, rest assured, my lips are tighter than my waistband.”

Generally speaking, someone who claims their lips are tighter than their waistband is probably trustworthy.

Provided he’s not an old lecher.

”I don’t care if it’s your lips that are tight or your waistband.”

”You only need to remember one thing: if you dare to go against my wishes, no matter where you hide, I can kill you!” Lin Yuan’s tone was very calm.

Despite Lin Yuan speaking so calmly, having slain so many evil spirits and deceitful charms in these recent days, his aura had become very deadly.

Therefore, even with such a calm tone, that soul-stirring murderous aura heavily suffocated Geng Youcai.

”I, Geng Youcai...”

Geng Youcai made to pledge loyalty once more, but Lin Yuan interrupted, saying: ”Loyalty is not about words; it’s about actions.”

”Do you know what saving your life and bringing you here was for?”

Geng Youcai paused, recalling some brief exchanges between Lin Yuan and Wen Yingying on their way back in the vehicle.

”Sanctuary?”

”Boss, you are planning to build a sanctuary, right?”

”I’ve got experience in this, with the tattoo of the mastered Lu Ban Skill, leave it to me, no worries!” Geng Youcai quickly said.

After witnessing Lin Yuan’s strength in slaying the Painted Skin Demon, Geng Youcai knew that staying beside Lin Yuan was definitely the safest.

At least until the sanctuary is built, he has value.

Before that, Lin Yuan would certainly protect him, not letting evil spirits or deceitful charms kill him.
