Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

”He’s pretending to be you, trying to trick the survivors in the city to come over voluntarily?” Jian Bing frowned and said.

When the Evil Spirits began to scheme, and one plot gave rise to another, Jian Bing realized the unusualness of the situation.

Zhi Ming was slightly slow-witted, or rather, like a turtle, a bit slow to react.

He asked in confusion, ”Why?”

”What is his goal in doing this?”

Lin Yuan had already figured out Great Black Heaven’s goal.

Sacrifice, his goal is still sacrifice.

The ten Buddhist Temples hidden in Tang City were originally intended for sacrificing the survivors in the city.

Unfortunately, these ten Buddhist Temples have now been discovered by Lin Yuan and the others, and several have been destroyed.

In this situation, the plan to remotely sacrifice all the survivors has failed.

So, Great Black Heaven had to come up with another plan.

This other plan is to trick these survivors into coming over, and then perform a sacrificial ritual at close range.

”He wants to trick people into coming over and kill them!”

”It seems that after the temples were destroyed, he’s given up on the method of remote sacrifice.” Lin Yuan said in a deep voice.

After Lin Yuan’s words, Jian Bing quickly said, ”Then we need to hurry back, otherwise, the survivors in the shelter will surely fall for it.”

Jian Bing spoke with great certainty.

Lin Yuan had transferred all the Life Pattern Masters away, and now, the shelter is full of ordinary people.

First, three black beams of light rose in the city, and then a golden beam of light rose.

Then, a black fog enveloped half of Tang City.

This sudden mutation is hard not to make people think twice.

Furthermore, without the protection of the Life Pattern Masters, these ordinary survivors will surely try to find ways to avoid risks.

In such a situation, the likelihood of the survivors being deceived is really high.

Jian Bing thought of this, and Lin Yuan naturally thought of this as well.

However, Lin Yuan pointed at Ling Guang, who had turned into a fire egg, and asked Jian Bing, ”What about her?”

It seems that Ling Guang wasn’t turning into an egg for the first time, and Jian Bing was quite experienced in dealing with such situations.

”Tuk tuk.”

”Tuk tuk tuk.”

”Tuk tuk.”

She came to the side of the fire egg and tapped the eggshell with her hand.

Jian Bing was very polite, knocking three times, two short and one long.

Then, she said to the eggshell, ”Ling Guang, wake up quickly, or the principal will spank you.”

After saying this, Jian Bing quickly took a few steps back, as if trying to maintain a safe distance.

”Crack.”

”Crack click.”

The eggshell cracked open, then, with a ”boom,” scorching flames emerged from the egg.

Immediately after, Ling Guang came out of the fire egg.

Lin Yuan looked at Ling Guang, who walked out of the egg, feeling that her strength had slightly increased.

”What time is it now?”

”Tell us your latest memory?” Jian Bing asked Ling Guang.

Hearing Jian Bing’s words, Ling Guang seemed to realize something and said, ”I’ve been turned into an egg again, huh?”

”It’s really a headache.”

After rubbing her head, Ling Guang replied, ”I remember the principal sent the three of us to Tang City, and then we arrived at the edge of Tang City.”

”Then...”

”Then I don’t remember anything else.”

Hearing this, Jian Bing sighed and said, ”Fortunately, the injury isn’t severe this time.”

”Sigh!”

”Who are you?” Ling Guang looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

Lin Yuan thought, Oh wow, doesn’t recognize me, huh?

That’s great! No worries about you, Jian Bing, tattling on me for peeking at her anymore.

Jian Bing glanced at Ling Guang and replied, ”He is the person in charge of this mission. There’s no time to explain; we have an urgent task now.”

”In short, listen to him for everything.”

After saying this, Jian Bing looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice, ”Let’s head back first!”

As soon as the words fell, Jian Bing was about to move.

Lin Yuan pulled Jian Bing and instructed, ”I’ll take Jian Bing back to the shelter to reassure the survivors first. Zhi Ming and Ling Guang, lead the others and make your way back to the shelter.”

”We’ll be waiting for you at the shelter.”

After saying this, Lin Yuan took Jian Bing and directly used the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo.

The ”No Distance” rule appeared, and the next moment, they were directly in the shelter.

Seeing that they appeared directly in the shelter, Jian Bing looked astonished.

This is not the same as flying!

Unlike Ling Guang’s flying ability, Lin Yuan’s method is similar to a spatial jump!

”What is this ability?” Jian Bing asked curiously.

For the vehicle he wanted to test drive, Lin Yuan was quite generous.

He didn’t hide it and said directly, ”The Power of Rules, ’No Distance,’ allows ignoring any distance to reach any place.”

”The space here was previously unstable, so it couldn’t be used. Also, it can’t carry too many people.”

After explaining his ability, Lin Yuan said seriously, ”Don’t be too surprised, I have many other ’strengths,’ and you’ll get to see them in the future.”

”Great!”

”I love seeing others’ strengths!” Jian Bing replied, clearly not understanding the meaning behind Lin Yuan’s words.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, ”No, you can only witness my strengths.”

Jian Bing: ”?????”

Seeing the puzzled look on Jian Bing’s face, Lin Yuan knew he couldn’t dwell on this topic any longer.

If she really figured it out, this fierce girl would fight him to the death.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan hurriedly changed the subject, ”By the way, what happened with Ling Guang just now?”

”Why do I feel that after getting beaten, she became even stronger?”

Jian Bing nodded and responded, ”That’s right, your feeling is correct, she has become stronger.”

”Ling Guang has an ability similar to a phoenix-like rebirth, and every time she rebirths, her strength increases.”

”In simple terms, the harsher the beating, the more severe the injury, the stronger she becomes after rebirth.”

Lin Yuan: ”?????”

The more severe the beating, the stronger she gets?

In that case, Ling Guang could exploit this glitch!

She could specifically find someone to beat her half to death, and then rebirth.

Repeat the cycle, and wouldn’t she become the number one in the world?

Seeing Lin Yuan’s astonished expression, Jian Bing clearly understood Lin Yuan’s thoughts.

”Rebirth comes with a cost.”

”Every time she rebirths, Ling Guang’s time reverses.”

”Simply put, it’s reverse aging.”

”The more severe the injury, the longer the time reverses after rebirth.”

”This time, her injury wasn’t severe, so it only reversed a few days’ time.”

”Ling Guang’s time is fixed, which means she will forever live at her current age and appearance,” Jian Bing continued to explain.

This is a good thing!

The more severe the injury, the stronger she gets, and the younger she looks.

”Do you think this is a good thing?” At this point, Jian Bing asked Lin Yuan, and then continued, ”But have you thought about it, if she rebirths a few more times, we’ll see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Ling Guang, a seven or eight-year-old Ling Guang, a three or four-year-old Ling Guang, or even an infant Ling Guang?”

”At first, Ling Guang, Zhi Ming, Meng Zhang, and I were roughly the same age.”

At this point, if Lin Yuan didn’t understand, he’d be a fool.

Every time Ling Guang rebirths, she inversely ages.

To put it simply, Ling Guang is different from normal people.

Normal people get older and die at eighty or ninety.

Under normal circumstances, Ling Guang is forever fixed at her current age; she will die, but she won’t age.

But, if she gets injured and rebirths, she will inversely age.

When she inversely ages to zero, that’s when it’s time for a do-over.

Having roughly grasped the situation with Ling Guang, Lin Yuan just felt that this world was becoming more and more magical.

Ling Guang’s rebirth and inverse aging state was something Lin Yuan never dared to imagine before.

....

....

Fortunately, Lin Yuan and Jian Bing returned just in time.

At this moment, the city’s official personnel had already begun organizing the evacuation of survivors.

Apparently, they believed what the Great Black Heaven said.

Lin Yuan and Jian Bing quickly stopped the official actions and told them the truth.

After understanding the truth, the official in charge of Tang City broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan returned in time, otherwise, they would’ve been walking into a trap!

”From now on, you stay inside the shelter.”

”No matter what you hear, don’t believe it, don’t leave this place.”

”Understood?” Lin Yuan repeatedly instructed the official in charge of Tang City.

Currently, the merger of the Deceitful Demon and the Real World is about sixty percent complete.

Great Black Heaven has complete control over that sixty percent that is fully merged.

For the remaining forty percent that hasn’t merged, Great Black Heaven’s control is weak.

Thankfully, the shelter’s location is within the forty percent that hasn’t merged.

Otherwise, if Lin Yuan and Jian Bing hadn’t gotten back in time, these survivors would’ve been wiped out.

Now, as long as these survivors don’t leave the shelter, Great Black Heaven won’t be able to sacrifice them remotely.

”Understood!”

”We’ll definitely listen to Mr. Lin.”

”The main issue was that the Evil Spirits impersonated Mr. Lin’s voice. Everyone trusts Mr. Lin, which is why they were fooled!” said the official in charge of Tang City, not missing the chance to flatter Lin Yuan.

After dispatching the Tang City official to reassure the survivors, Jian Bing looked at Lin Yuan and said with concern, ”We can’t go on like this!”

”We can’t leave here. Dragging this out is just waiting for death.”

Jian Bing wasn’t wrong!

The Great Black Heaven is sacrificing the survivors to speed up the merger of the Deceitful Demon and the Real World.

But even without sacrificing the survivors, the merger continues, just at a slower pace.

If they can’t deal with the Great Black Heaven, dragging it out like this, they will die sooner or later.

It’s just a matter of dying later.

And now, after sacrificing three followers, the Great Black Heaven is even harder to deal with than before.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that after awakening the Zhong Kui Tattoo, he could sweep away all the Evil Spirits at this stage.

But never did he expect that a Great Black Heaven would emerge during this stage.

To defeat the Great Black Heaven, unless he enters demonic possession again.

But last time, he had his sister-in-law to save him. This time, if he enters demonic possession, there’s no one to save him.

If he can’t regain consciousness after entering demonic possession, his threat would be no less than the Great Black Heaven.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.
