Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 93: Chapter 91: Drawing on the Power of Evil Spirits, Besieging Lin Yuan

”Up ahead is the Wushan Shelter!”

”Lingguan, let’s split up. This way, we should be quicker.” Day Traveler acted as if about to hand over half of the spirit summoning blood to Lingguan.

However, Lingguan directly shook his head, rejecting Day Traveler’s proposal to split up, and said firmly, ”No way, we weren’t told to split up when we came.”

”Both of us should act together to look out for one another. Finishing the task before eight is completely doable.”

Even though the Deceitful King Faction is a civilian force organized by financial magnates, it has extremely strict internal management.

Everything is governed by strict rules, and everything must be done according to these rules.

This can be seen from the time Night Traveler was captured alive by Lin Yuan, and the Celestial King didn’t hesitate at all to curse Night Traveler to death.

Since they weren’t instructed to split up by the Celestial King when they came, the rule-abiding Lingguan would absolutely not agree.

Day Traveler squinted slightly, seemingly contemplating something.

Since Lingguan refused to split up, Day Traveler didn’t bring it up again.

Rules.

It all comes down to the rules.

The rule of the Deceitful King Faction states that regardless of the operation, it must involve at least two people acting in concert, no solo actions are allowed.

The purpose of doing this is, on the one hand, for mutual assistance with more people involved.

On the other hand, it’s also to let them supervise each other.

The walls of the Wushan Shelter were just completed a few days ago.

Geng Youcai is busy inside the walls, while Zhang Zhen, the current power bureau chief, is working daily as a security team leader.

Now Zhang Zhen patrols several times around the perimeter of the shelter every day, and seeing the Wushan Shelter change day by day brings him immense satisfaction.

In today’s world, being able to reside in a safe shelter is something many people dream of.

At this moment, outside the walls of the Wushan Shelter, Day Traveler and Lingguan had quietly approached.

After reaching the corner of the wall, they took out the prepared spirit summoning blood and began smearing it evenly on the outer walls.

As Day Traveler and Lingguan took action, Prajna and Diting had also arrived at the official Five Dragon Mountain Shelter.

There aren’t many people at Lin Yuan’s Wushan Shelter, and the ones really doing work are just Zhang Zhen and Geng Youcai.

Therefore, it was hard for them to notice that Day Traveler and Lingguan were sneaking to the base of the wall to smear the spirit summoning blood.

However, the official shelter is different.

The official shelter has watchtowers, and there are people patrolling the walls at all times.

Under these circumstances, Prajna and Diting couldn’t act like Day Traveler and Lingguan.

However, you have Zhang Liang’s schemes, and I have my ladders to overcome walls.

No matter how much you guard, you can’t guard against the malicious.

If someone is determined to trip you up, there’s always a way.

Prajna and Diting paid a high price to bribe the cook delivering meals to the walls, using the opportunity to sprinkle spirit summoning blood at the base of the walls during the delivery.

Although it’s called blood, spirit summoning blood is not red but transparent and hard to detect.

Other than a faint smell of blood, there’s no other odor. Sprinkling it at the corner of the wall, no one would notice.

...

...

Inside the Wushan Shelter.

Zhang Zhen checked the time; it was already around seven in the evening.

It was time for the last patrol of the day.

Once the patrol was over, if the boss wanted to hunt evil spirits, he would accompany him.

If the boss didn’t plan to hunt evil spirits tonight, then Zhang Zhen would go back to his room to watch movies.

Yes, Beautiful Country’s sci-fi blockbusters.

As it happened, just when Zhang Zhen set out on his patrol, Day Traveler and Lingguan had just completed their task and were leaving.

As Day Traveler and Lingguan left, Zhang Zhen arrived at the scene right after.

And Zhang Zhen noticed something unusual.

”What’s that smell?” Zhang Zhen wrinkled his nose, looked around with a perplexed expression, and said, ”It smells faintly like blood, but there’s no blood here!”

Blood, in theory, should be red and quite conspicuous.

However, Zhang Zhen looked around and saw no traces of blood.

There wasn’t any blood, but there was a faint scent of blood lingering in the air, which puzzled Zhang Zhen.

After observing for quite a while, Zhang Zhen seemed to notice something odd about the walls.

The wall seemed to have slight water stains on it.

Upon this realization, Zhang Zhen tentatively reached out to touch the wall.

Upon touching it, Zhang Zhen immediately determined that it wasn’t water, as it had a sticky feel to it.

The touch alone was enough to unsettle Zhang Zhen.

”Sticky!”

”Colorless and transparent, looks like water.”

”With a faint bloody smell...” By connecting these elements, Zhang Zhen immediately thought of something terrifying.

The most critical part was that Zhang Zhen had just touched it with his hand, and now his hand wasn’t clean!

Moreover, to identify what it was, he even leaned in to smell it several times.

Right after that, Zhang Zhen was thoroughly terrified!

There were only him and Geng Youcai here, so if the stuff on the wall wasn’t left by him, it must have been left by Geng Youcai.

”Good grief!”

”What exactly did Geng Youcai do to the wall?” Zhang Zhen pondered with disbelief.

After discovering this, Zhang Zhen lost all interest in patrolling and decided to give Geng Youcai a good lesson.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen went straight to find Geng Youcai to settle the account.

.....

....

In the villa room, Lin Yuan attempted to visualize the image of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

However, after an entire day of effort, Lin Yuan had made no progress.

According to the booklet about the Totem Visualization Method given to him by Yang Dingguo,

unlike most people, it typically takes three days to slightly sense the power of the visualized totem.

Nevertheless, even after three days one might only barely perceive the power of the totem in the visualization image.

Yet, the number of people who have genuinely acquired certain extraordinary abilities after gaining totem acknowledgment is extremely few.

Additionally, there is a similarity between the Totem Visualization Method and the Tattoo Cultivation Method.

With the Tattoo Cultivation Method, the more powerful the tattoo, the more deceitful qi is required for awakening.

Likewise, with the Totem Visualization Method, the stronger the totem image in the visualization, the longer the comprehension time needed.

”Geng Youcai, you shameless dog! You actually did something to the wall... I got the filthy stuff all over my hand, and I won’t forgive you!” Zhang Zhen cursed and charged at Geng Youcai, beating him fiercely.

When it comes to fighting strength, not to mention one Geng Youcai, even ten couldn’t match Zhang Zhen!

As Geng Youcai was being beaten, he defiantly protested: ”It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it, you can’t just falsely accuse me.”

The sounds of the fight between Zhang Zhen and Geng Youcai startled not only Lin Yuan but Bai Ling’Er as well.

Bai Ling’Er and Lin Yuan came out together, looking at the two who were fighting furiously.

If we’re talking about fighting strength, Geng Youcai is not a match for Zhang Zhen.

However, if it’s about verbal duelling, Zhang Zhen can’t outtalk Geng Youcai.

Thus, the scene transformed into a spectacle.

The more aggressively Zhang Zhen beat, the fiercer Geng Youcai cursed, and the fiercer Geng Youcai cursed, the more aggressively Zhang Zhen beat him.

Seeing the ferocious fight, Lin Yuan stepped forward and scolded, ”Enough, stop it! You didn’t use this much strength when fighting evil spirits!”

”What exactly is going on?”

When Zhang Zhen saw Lin Yuan, he immediately began complaining, recounting the entire story of how he found the unknown sticky substance on the wall to Lin Yuan.

This...

If this was true, Lin Yuan found the thought quite disgusting.

Especially since Zhang Zhen discovered the sticky and unknown substance only after touching it.

”Geng Youcai, is what he’s saying true?” Lin Yuan asked Geng Youcai.

Geng Youcai promptly retorted, ”Boss, you have to believe me, it definitely wasn’t me.”

”At my age, after working all day, where would I find the energy to concern myself with such trivial nonsense?”

”This kid is at the age when he’s as fierce as a wolf or a tiger. I suspect it’s something he did himself and now he wants to pin it on me.”

This pair of arch-enemies, Zhang Zhen and Geng Youcai, had started blaming each other.

They switched from physical to verbal sparring, accusing each other for ages without coming to any real conclusion.

Finally, they had to take Lin Yuan to the scene of the incident to arbitrate.

Upon arriving at the scene, Bai Ling’Er looked at the sticky, fishy-smelling substance on the wall and frowned slightly.

”There’s something not right about this!”

”This is something that attracts evil spirits. As a Great Demon, even I feel slightly restless when I smell this.”

”If it were some low tier evil spirits, upon smelling this, they would probably act like addicts among humans.” Bai Ling’Er said with a grave expression.

Bai Ling’Er, a well-learned Qingqiu Fox, though unaware of the Spirit Summoning Blood substance, roughly guessed its use.

Someone smeared the unknown liquid onto our walls to attract evil spirits?

”Someone’s planning to target our shelter!” Lin Yuan said with a serious expression. Bai Ling’Er looked at Lin Yuan and said, ”Any evil spirit in Peng City wouldn’t stand a chance against you.”

”By the way, I sensed two human Life Pattern Masters just left not long ago. If we chase them now, we should be able to catch up. Should we pursue them?”

Bai Ling’Er, as a member of the Demon Race, has a much stronger sense of aura detection than Lin Yuan.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan could easily guess who was after him.

Undoubtedly, it must be the action squad from the Deceitful King Faction.

Or perhaps, Zhang Peng who was expelled from Peng City by Elder Yang.

Besides those two, Lin Yuan didn’t have deadly enmity with anyone else.

Towards Zhang Peng and the Deceitful King Faction, Lin Yuan’s attitude was identical.

That is, find them even in the toilet and drown them in the bowl.

To Lin Yuan, Zhang Peng and people from the Deceitful King Faction were better killed than spared.

Thus, without hesitation, Lin Yuan said to Bai Ling’Er, ”Chase them!”

”We can’t let them get away!”
