Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 150: Chapter 148: Second-Generation Totem Visualization Method

”You traveled through the Underworld in a trance, entering the Deceitful Gate, walking along the Yellow Springs Road, and stepping on the Naihe Bridge...”

”You came to the side of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, entered the cycle of reincarnation, and were reborn. In this life, you were reincarnated as a pig...”

A soft and magnetic voice filled the air, drifting as if echoing in one’s mind.

”It’s you who was reincarnated as a pig, your whole family was reincarnated as pigs...” Lin Yuan sat up from his recliner with a sudden start, crossing his legs and said irritably.

In front of him, a short-haired doctor with a baby face in a white coat said aggrievedly, ”Mr. Lin, we have to go through all the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Now it’s the animal path, and there really isn’t much else to reincarnate into there!”

”You don’t like being a pig. Well, how about a dog?”

”Forget it, your hypnotism has absolutely no effect on me.”

”I can’t fall asleep at all, let alone enter the state!” Lin Yuan rubbed his temples and said.

This short-haired baby-faced doctor was a psychologist. Her main job was to help those practicing the Totem Visualization Method enter a deep meditative state.

Indeed, the official research into the Totem Visualization Method seemed to have been updated.

The current cultivation methods of the Totem Visualization Method have been updated to the second generation.

The first generation of Totem Visualization cultivation relied entirely on the practitioner’s own mental will.

In contrast, the second-generation Totem Visualization cultivation methods allow one to enter special environments with the help of a psychologist’s hypnosis.

For instance, if you’re visualizing a dragon, the psychologist can hypnotize you to imagine yourself as a dragon, wandering in the vast ocean.

Or, if you’re visualizing a ball of fire, the psychologist can hypnotize you, so that in your subconscious, you are a blazing flame.

Since the advent of the second-generation Totem Visualization cultivation methods, the cultivation speed of those practicing it has increased by more than tenfold.

After fully awakening the Zhong Kui tattoo, Lin Yuan’s strength reached a standstill.

To continue awakening other tattoos, he would need to hunt Tier Five Evil Spirits and absorb the Power of Rules they controlled.

Around Peng City, there were no more Tier Five Evil Spirits for now.

Since the eerie invasion, Lin Yuan had been living constantly under high-pressure conditions.

Just as well, he could take a break during this period, without having to live under the high pressure of battling Evil Spirits day by day.

Last time, after Yang Dingguo gave him the first-generation Totem Visualization cultivation method developed by the officials, Lin Yuan attempted to cultivate it for some time.

Alas, there wasn’t the slightest bit of progress.

Lin Yuan thought, in terms of cultivation, he shouldn’t be that dim-witted, right?

But, for some reason, when it comes to practicing the Totem Visualization Method, he really just couldn’t grasp it at all.

To be honest, Yang Dingguo was indeed very kind to Lin Yuan.

After the release of the second-generation Totem Visualization Method, he immediately called Lin Yuan over and specifically arranged for a youthful-looking psychologist with a voluptuous figure to help him get into the state.

However, after fussing around for an entire day, Lin Yuan still felt nothing.

He just couldn’t enter into a meditative state, it seemed like he was completely insulated from practicing the Totem Visualization Method.

She was practicing the Totem Visualization Method by choosing to meditate on the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Could it be that the level of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was too high?

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.

At this time, the psychologist’s face didn’t look good either.

It was as if a skilled teacher had been assisting for half the day, yet there was no outcome.

She felt a deep sense of frustration at this moment.

”This isn’t right!”

”At least 80% of people can enter a meditative state through hypnosis.”

”Why can’t he? This just doesn’t make sense,” the baby-faced psychologist mumbled to herself.

According to official data, the chance of entering a meditative state using the second-generation Totem Visualization cultivation methods is over 80%.

Meaning, if you hypnotize the same person ten times, at least eight times they should enter a meditative state.

She didn’t know how many times she had tried to hypnotize Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan felt nothing, there was no effect at all.

The baby-faced psychologist tugged at Lin Yuan’s sleeve and asked, ”Mr. Lin, what are you thinking about?”

Lin Yuan looked at the baby-faced psychologist and joked, ”I think the reason I can’t get into the state might not be because of me, but because of you.”

”Look at you, in that tight skirt, blazer, white shirt, you’re teasing me with your uniform!”

”With everything so bulging, what man can calm down? And if I can’t calm down, how can I enter the state?”

Upon hearing this, the baby-faced psychologist blushed, then surprisingly lay against Lin Yuan’s chest and softly said, ”Mr. Lin, I’ve heard that you men always have your eyes on the next thing while eating from your bowl.”

”If you get it, can you finally calm down?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself, I was just joking, how did it become serious?

Actually, this girl couldn’t really be blamed for taking it seriously.

After all, what was Lin Yuan? Lin Yuan was now the top expert in Peng City.

In this doomsday environment, every woman wanted someone to rely on.

Clinging to a powerful figure, who wouldn’t want that?

No matter which leg they cling to, as long as it’s secure, that’s what matters.

With Lin Yuan’s current level of strength, just a hint of interest from him would attract countless beauties.

This girl’s initiative, instead, left Lin Yuan momentarily dumbfounded.

Lin Yuan thought, are you using this to test the officials?

What officer could withstand such a test?

Lin Yuan calculated: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were Bai Ling’Er’s, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday were Wen Yingying’s.

On Sundays, normally it’s goji berries, eat some kidneys or whatever to replenish, and just chill.

Today, what day is it today?

Today is exactly Sunday, am I somehow working overtime today?

Just then...

”Knock.”

”Knock, knock.”

After two knocks, with a ”creak,” the door was pushed open.

Hearing the knocks, the baby-faced psychologist jumped up from Lin Yuan in an instant.

Secretary Wang walked in from outside, seeing the scene before him, Secretary Wang was dumbfounded.

Secretary Wang thought to himself, did I mess up the arrangement?

I clearly arranged for a psychologist! How come, what I saw just now seemed like a health care doctor’s work!

”Cough, cough!” Secretary Wang cleared his throat twice, tentatively asking, ”Mr. Lin, am I coming at a bad time?”

”If not, how about I come back in half an hour?”

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan wore a perplexed expression.

You really came at a not good time!

Lin Yuan, thick-skinned, soon with a nonchalant face, asked Secretary Wang, ”What’s the matter?”

”Elder Yang has something for you, asked me to call you!” Secretary Wang replied.

Yang Dingguo wants him, Lin Yuan knows, it must be important.

Anytime can ride a horse, but serious matters can’t be delayed.

Lin Yuan said to Secretary Wang, ”Take me to see Elder Yang first.”

When passing by the baby-faced psychologist, Lin Yuan slapped her on the behind with a ”smack,” saying, ”Next time, I’ll still request you.”

Baby-faced psychologist: ”??????”

Request me?

I’m a psychologist, what do you think this place is?

On the way to Elder Yang’s office, Lin Yuan asked Secretary Wang, ”Do you think I’m a bit of a joker?”

Secretary Wang: ”??????”

Secretary Wang thought, you really are quite self-aware.

Though thinking this, Secretary Wang couldn’t say it out loud.

”No, for a master like Mr. Lin, having a unique personality is perfectly normal!” Secretary Wang replied seriously.

”Saying one thing and meaning another, huh!”

”Living like this every day, don’t you feel tired?”

”It’s the end of the world, living on the edge, just be more carefree!” Lin Yuan said, patting Secretary Wang on the shoulder.

Secretary Wang froze, stood in place for a long time, then slowly said, ”Speaking this way, Elder Yang lives even more burdened.”

”Everyone has their own way of living!”

This...

The words left Lin Yuan speechless.

Since the strange invasion, Yang Dingguo probably rests less than four to five hours each day.

Almost every day, he spends in his office in an underground bunker.

Is this the life Yang Dingguo wants?

A man nearing his twilight years, with earth almost to his neck, does he need to live this hard?

The reason for choosing such a life, Yang Dingguo is carrying forward with a heavy burden for all Peng City’s survivors!

...

...

In Yang Dingguo’s office.

”Elder Yang, you were looking for me?” Lin Yuan rarely greeted first upon entering, and even called him Elder Yang instead of Old Yang.

Perhaps, Secretary Wang’s words just now made Lin Yuan feel deeper respect for Yang Dingguo.

Of course, Lin Yuan had always respected Yang Dingguo, just seldom showed it.

Yang Dingguo took off his glasses and said to Lin Yuan, ”Sit down.”

After Lin Yuan sat down, Yang Dingguo straightforwardly said, ”The second-generation Totem Visualization Method is working well. Soon, those cultivating the Totem Visualization Method will initially possess combat ability.”

”The alloy factories around are also being constructed; our Dragon Country’s overall situation is slowly improving.”

”I need to attend a meeting in Emperor Dragon City personally, to strive for some things, I want you to accompany me.”

Lin Yuan didn’t think twice, agreed directly, and said, ”Sure, with Yellow Springs Road, no matter the world’s size, I can go anywhere.”

However, Yang Dingguo shook his head and said, ”Can’t use Yellow Springs Road, along the way I need to pick up some people, have small-scale meetings, lure some people in.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned.

You have to know, Yang Dingguo is a very upright person.

At least, when it comes to being upright, Lin Yuan hasn’t met anyone more upright than Yang Dingguo.

For him to take the initiative to gather allies, this matter seems very important, huh?
