Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Speculations About the Deceitful King Faction

The Night Traveler’s condition was deteriorating rapidly; he was just a breath away from death.

”Do you know where the Celestial King and the hunting squad are right now?” Lin Yuan asked urgently.

If the Night Traveler died, this hard-earned clue would be severed.

Moreover, the Night Traveler’s rank was too low; he was just a minor character within their mysterious organization.

What he knew was so limited, and the clues he divulged were of little use.

To learn more, they had to capture the captain of their hunting squad.

Celestial King.

Yes, the man with the code name ”Celestial King” was the key to breaking this deadlock.

”Huai...”

”Huai... Huai... splutter!”

Before the words could come out, another mouthful of blood gushed from the Night Traveler, then his head slumped, life extinguished!

Night Traveler died?

Just as he was asking the most critical question, the Night Traveler died?

”Damn it!” Lin Yuan cursed, landing a frustrated punch on the Night Traveler’s corpse.

”Did he just say the last word was ’Huai’?” Lin Yuan asked Zhang Zhen and Wen Yingying on either side.

”Yes!”

”Exactly, ’Huai’!” They both nodded in agreement.

At least they heard one word clearly; it wasn’t a complete loss!

Huai!

Although it was only one word, it was a crucial clue.

”Sigh!” Lin Yuan sighed, instructing, ”Let’s head back; once we’re back, check place names in Peng City that start with ’Huai’.”

”Boss, what about his body?” Zhang Zhen asked, pointing at the corpse in the car.

What to do?

What the hell can you do?

Could they possibly take him back, hold a funeral, and then set tables for a feast?

”Burn it!” Lin Yuan said.

The body couldn’t simply be discarded; it was food for Evil Spirits, especially the corpse of such a Life Pattern Master.

If consumed by Evil Spirits, it would only strengthen their powers.

Burn it, turn it to ashes—it’s the best way to handle it.

Of course, burying it is an option too.

Bury it in the ground, and soon enough, it will decay.

But he was the enemy!

Despite defecting at the last moment and providing some information, he wasn’t deserving of Lin Yuan digging a pit for him.

This kind of villain should be burned, making a posthumous contribution to nourish the trees, at least offering some benefit at death.

Lin Yuan retrieved the Night Traveler’s corpse single-handedly, prepared to burn it beside the road.

Throwing the body down by the roadside, he summoned the Five-Pronged Heaven-Supporting Tea Fork, ready to have the Heaven-Supporting Fork spew black flames to burn the corpse when suddenly...

Lin Yuan thought of something, and instructed Zhang Zhen, ”Strip him of his clothes!”

Strip him of his clothes?

That was a corpse?

A male corpse?

Was he taking advantage while it’s warm?

Boss, you’re confused!

You can’t be!

At the very least, you shouldn’t!

Hearing Lin Yuan’s command, Zhang Zhen’s mind wandered with wild thoughts.

Stripping the clothes off a male corpse made Zhang Zhen uncomfortable, but he dared not defy Lin Yuan.

”Boss, isn’t this inappropriate?”

”In Huaxia, there’s an old saying, ’Respect the dead!’” Zhang Zhen stuttered.

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan thought to himself, We’re both men, don’t you get what I’m saying?

”I’m telling you to strip him to check his tattoos!”

”Where did your mind go?” Lin Yuan snapped irritably.

”Oh, right!” Zhang Zhen quickly responded, ”I also assumed it was to check the tattoos.”

Since it was to check the tattoos, there’s no issue!

Zhang Zhen stepped forward, stripping off the Night Traveler’s black robe, and soon there was a corpse lying bare-chested at the scene.

On the Night Traveler’s body, a full back Night Wanderer Tattoo was prominently displayed.

However, this Night Wanderer Tattoo didn’t originally belong to him.

On the Night Traveler’s back, there was a dense circle of stitch marks left behind after suturing.

Clearly, this Night Wanderer Tattoo was cut from another Life Pattern Master’s body and then sewn onto the Night Traveler.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan’s face darkened.

Just when he was about to burn the Night Traveler’s corpse, Lin Yuan considered, given that this organization hunts Life Pattern Masters to cut tattoos...

Was it possible that the tattoos on these hunting squad members were also cut from other Life Pattern Masters?

Now it seems as Lin Yuan anticipated.

In this mysterious organization, even the hunting squad’s tattoos were cut from other Life Pattern Masters.

This thought is terrifying!

First, this mysterious organization wasn’t established before the supernatural invasion.

Because if it had been established before the supernatural invasion, it would indicate one thing—they, like Lin Yuan, were aware of the invasion beforehand.

If that were the case, there would be no need to hunt Life Pattern Masters and cut their tattoos.

They could very well, like Lin Yuan, have tattooed themselves fully before the invasion, which would be far better.

Just from their act of hunting Life Pattern Masters and cutting tattoos, it shows that they were unaware of the supernatural invasion.

And after the invasion happened, they rapidly formed.

In a very short time, they discovered the tattoo ability’s transfer possibility.

And mastered the method of transferring tattoo abilities.

In a short time, they acquired a batch of tattoos, transferring them to trustworthy individuals.

Then they formed seven battle-ready hunting squads, beginning a large-scale hunt on Life Pattern Masters to cut tattoos.

What kind of person, or what organization?

Could achieve all this in such a short time?

Thinking about it made Lin Yuan’s spine tingle.

This....

This thought is terrifying!

”It can’t be the officials! Absolutely impossible!” After a thorough consideration, Lin Yuan dismissed his chilling thought.

He was a reborn individual.

He had lived through everything during the early stages of supernatural invasion firsthand.

From the beginning of supernatural invasion to before his death in these three years, the officials had been working tirelessly to restore social order.

Although due to various reasons, their actions were somewhat inadequate.

However, their efforts are undeniable.

Moreover, the officials have consistently been recruiting and consolidating Life Pattern Masters for their use.

Hunting Life Pattern Masters and cutting tattoos were not the officials’ style.

Since it couldn’t possibly be the officials!

Then there’s only one possibility!

Wealthy factions!

Before the supernatural invasion, the way wealthy factions ensured their status was through money and capital.

But, after the supernatural invasion, money is hardly more valuable than waste paper.

Their tool to maintain status had failed, so they could only find new ways to preserve such status.

In the era of supernatural invasion, power signifies status.

Tattoos!

Only the Life Pattern Masters with awakened tattoo abilities can ensure status.

After reaching this point, Lin Yuan could virtually confirm that this mysterious organization known as the Deceitful King Faction was likely formed by various wealthy factions.
