Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 129: Chapter 127: Lin Yuan: You Don’t Want Your In-Laws to Find Out, Do You?

Lin Yuan quietly climbed from the first floor to the second-floor side window, gently wiped the water stains inside the window clean, and took a few glances inside.

Confirming that there was no one in the room, Lin Yuan finally opened the window and quickly climbed in.

This is also why Lin Yuan didn’t use the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo ability to directly enter the room but instead chose to climb through the window.

If he used the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo ability and ”whoosh” entered the room.

If by any chance, the woman’s in-laws were also in the room, it would alert the enemy.

It’s hard to say if the woman herself is a problem, but her in-laws definitely are.

Climbing through the window allows for reconnaissance and avoids any reckless accidents.

”Crash.”

”Splashing.”

Just as Lin Yuan climbed into the room, he heard the sound of water rushing.

”Did I forget to close the window?”

”No, I just closed it behind me!” Lin Yuan muttered to himself, looking back towards the side window he came through.

Turning his head to confirm that the window he entered was indeed closed, this ”crashing” water sound was not from the rain outside.

”Coming from inside the house?” Lin Yuan muttered as he cautiously followed the sound of the water.

”What the hell!”

”Goodness!”

Lin Yuan exclaimed in his heart; it turned out the water sound was the woman taking a shower.

However, in the glass-enclosed shower, the steam made it so that only a vague silhouette was visible, and specific details were unclear.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to take a closer look.

At that moment, the sound of the water abruptly stopped.

Has the shower ended?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan quickly made a getaway.

He found a place to hide in the room.

After the woman finished her shower, she put on a bathrobe and dried her hair.

Just as she was about to go to bed, she pulled back the covers.

”Ah!”

A scream had just begun to ring out when Lin Yuan, quick on his feet, covered her mouth.

Lin Yuan happened to be hiding under the covers, and with that cover pulled back, there was a big man under it, whoever would scream, it couldn’t be helped!

The woman’s eyes widened with shock; she could not fathom how Lin Yuan ended up under her covers.

Just as the two were in shock, they heard an elderly voice from outside.

”Yu’Er, what’s wrong!”

Though Lin Yuan moved swiftly to muffle her scream, the sound still alarmed the in-laws next door.

”You don’t want your in-laws to see me in your bed, do you?” Lin Yuan whispered.

The woman’s bright Karzar eyes glanced around, then she gave a slight nod, pointing to Lin Yuan’s hand, signaling him to release her.

At this point, Lin Yuan had no other choice.

If he didn’t let her answer, that fiendish old lady outside would definitely come in.

”Creak.”

”Creak, creak.”

The sound of the door lock turning came from outside. At this critical moment, Lin Yuan decisively let go.

The woman was quick to react, immediately calling out to the people outside: ”I’m fine, just slipped in the shower.”

Sure enough, after hearing her response, the sound of the door lock turning stopped.

Then, the old voice outside spoke again.

”Be careful; the young master is coming soon!”

”Got it!” the woman replied.

”Tap.”

”Tap, tap.”

The footsteps outside gradually faded away, and only then did the woman heave a deep sigh of relief.

It was obvious she was very afraid of these so-called in-laws.

”You...”

”How did you end up in my bed?” the woman asked, her large eyes both shy and angry.

Lin Yuan glanced at her, didn’t answer the question, and instead asked directly, ”Are you human?”

”You...”

”You figured it out?” The woman’s face was filled with astonishment.

At this point, skirting around the issue was pointless.

So Lin Yuan spoke frankly.

”There’s something wrong with this village, or rather, this village is now a Deceit Village.”

”I can confirm your in-laws are dead, but whether you are alive or not, I can’t determine!” After speaking, Lin Yuan gazed intensely at the woman.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the woman was momentarily stunned, then suddenly seemed to realize something.

”Are you a Life Pattern Master?”

”You are not ordinary people; you are people with extraordinary abilities, right?”

”Did the authorities send you to rescue us, to save the villagers?” she asked several questions in succession, but her expression soon turned desolate as she muttered to herself, ”Too late, it’s all too late.”

”There are no living people left; in the village, there are no living people!”

In just a few seconds, the woman’s expression shifted from ecstasy to terror, and then to despair.

The joys and sorrows between people do not truly connect, and Lin Yuan also cannot know what the little sister-in-law, or rather the whole village, has really experienced.

Lin Yuan only knows that this village has been refined into a Deceitful Demon by the Mother-Child Deceitful King.

As for the specifics of what happened, Lin Yuan knows nothing at all.

After all, the official information on this matter is extremely lacking.

Everything that happened here, the little sister-in-law personally experienced.

To find out what really happened here, asking her is the simplest and most direct way.

”What really happened here?” Lin Yuan asked.

The little sister-in-law looked towards Lin Yuan, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

After a long time, as if weighing the pros and cons, she asked Lin Yuan, ”Will you believe what I say?”

This...

This made Lin Yuan hesitate a bit!

Believing is possible, but the premise of believing is that she must be a person, a living person.

”You have to let me know first, are you really alive!” Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing this, the little sister-in-law hesitated at first, then she grabbed Lin Yuan’s hand and placed it on her face.

Then, she moved Lin Yuan’s hand downwards.

This action startled Lin Yuan, and as soon as he touched her, he quickly pulled his hand away.

He wasn’t sure if the little sister-in-law was human or not, was he touching a person or a corpse?

”No!”

”Testing whether you’re alive like this is a bit much, isn’t it?”

”If we continue further, that would be making a mistake.” Lin Yuan said hesitantly.

The little sister-in-law glared at Lin Yuan and said, annoyed, ”What are you thinking, you inexperienced kid!”

”I wanted you to know I have a heartbeat.”

”A heartbeat!”

”So you wanted me to check your heartbeat!” Lin Yuan realized.

The little sister-in-law pouted and said, ”What did you think?”

”What did I think?”

”I also thought it was to check for a heartbeat.” Lin Yuan replied seriously.

There is a heartbeat.

And there is body temperature.

In this view, the little sister-in-law is indeed a living person.

”Today, when you were clearing the dishes, were you hinting to us?” Lin Yuan asked, looking at the little sister-in-law to see how she would respond.

”When I saw you, I wanted you to leave!”

”Although I didn’t know if you could get away, it’s better than staying here!”

”A word of advice is wasted on those doomed to become deceitful, I wanted you to leave, but you insisted on staying, there’s nothing I can do!” the little sister-in-law sighed.

At this point, Lin Yuan could roughly determine that the little sister-in-law was not malicious.

”After the supernatural invasion, what really happened here?” Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing this question, the little sister-in-law stopped hesitating and began to recount the events that occurred in the village, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

”At the start of the supernatural invasion, although people in the village died at the hands of the deceitful demons and evil spirits, the overall death toll was not too high.”

”Everyone was hiding at home, not daring to go out, all waiting for official rescue.”

”We hid for a full month, only to learn from news and live broadcasts that the city had fallen into chaos.”

”This is the countryside, every household has food stores, so hiding for a month or even half a year was no problem.”

”So, organized by the village chief, everyone continued to hide at home. There were still people slowly dying at the hands of deceitful demons and evil spirits. However, the death rate remained relatively low.”

”A death rate of two or three out of ten, compared to the city death rates we saw on the news, we were really very fortunate.”

What she said was true. In the early stage of the supernatural invasion, especially the version 1.0 of the invasion.

At that time, the death rate was actually related to population density.

The denser the population, the more it attracted evil spirits.

At this stage, Life Pattern Masters had just begun awakening and did not have the ability to confront evil spirits.

Therefore, this was also the stage when the most ordinary people died.

The death rate in the city was at least three to five times higher than in the countryside.

In city neighborhoods, with such a dense population, when evil spirits arrived, it was like entering a buffet, they could eat however they wanted.

The countryside was sparsely populated, evil spirits would struggle to find a living person, making it difficult to devour anyone.

It’s obvious where evil spirits would go to feast, right?

At this point, the little sister-in-law’s voice paused, with a look of panic on her face, she continued in a trembling voice, ”Originally...”

”Originally, the death rate in the village wasn’t high, when everyone was still feeling fortunate, she came!”

”That day, like today, it was a rainy night, she came!”

”At first, everyone thought she was just a homeless person because of evil spirits. The village chief took pity on her and took her in.”

”It was from then that the nightmare began.”

At this point, the little sister-in-law was trembling in fear.

”Who is she?”

”What nightmare?” Lin Yuan continued to ask.

”Huh!”

”Huh! Huh!” the little sister-in-law gasped for air, and after a long moment, she continued with a trembling voice, ”A pregnant woman, she was a pregnant woman.”
