Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 270: Chapter 264: The Power of the Meng Po Tattoo—Erasing and Altering Memories

Everything went smoothly.

The Dean engraved the Meng Po tattoo onto Lin Yuan’s soul.

With this attempt, it means—

From now on, as long as Lin Yuan hunts down powerful enough evil spirits, the Dean can engrave for him the Ten Yama Kings, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Lord of Mount Tai, Emperor Fengdu...

Hunting evil spirits, engraving soul tattoos, repeating the cycle—Lin Yuan now has a path to endless growth.

”Go back!” The Dean pointed at Lin Yuan’s physical body and said to his soul.

Nodding, Lin Yuan’s soul returned to his physical body. At the same time, the Dean’s soul also went back to his body.

Lin Yuan, lying on the soul-separation device, slowly sat up and said to the Dean, ”Dean, we succeeded!”

”Yes, we succeeded!” The Dean nodded at you.

Then, the Dean pointed at Lin Yuan’s left arm and said, ”Take a look. See what’s different about the Meng Po tattoo on your left arm compared to the others.”

On the flesh of Lin Yuan’s left arm, there was originally a Meng Po tattoo—Wen Yingying’s dad had engraved it for him.

Unfortunately, his physical body had reached its limit. Wen Yingying’s dad’s Meng Po tattoo could no longer awaken.

Thinking it through, just now the Meng Po tattoo the Dean engraved for him was also at the soul’s left arm.

And in appearance, it’s identical to Wen Yingying’s dad’s version.

This way, the flesh Meng Po tattoo and the soul Meng Po tattoo perfectly overlap.

Lin Yuan examined the Meng Po tattoo on his left arm carefully, and when the flesh and soul tattoos fully overlapped, it was as if the tattoo was granted a soul.

Lin Yuan felt that this Meng Po tattoo on his left arm was alive.

It was almost as if the tattoo was about to tear free from his flesh and step out of his body.

He put on his shirt to cover the vivid Meng Po tattoo and asked the Dean, ”Dean, what power does the Meng Po tattoo have?”

The Dean smiled and said to Lin Yuan, ”You should be clearer than me, shouldn’t you?”

The Meng Po tattoo was engraved on the soul; its powers, to Lin Yuan, feel like an innate ability.

With a thought, Lin Yuan understood the abilities of the Meng Po tattoo.

In folk legend, Meng Po resides at Naihe Bridge, serving Meng Po Soup to passing souls to erase their memories.

The power of Lin Yuan’s Meng Po tattoo is to erase memories, and even modify memories.

”This is an auxiliary-type tattoo!” After some thought, Lin Yuan realized just how terrifying this tattoo’s power is.

Erasing memories, modifying memories.

Erasing isn’t too bad, but modifying memory—that’s truly frightening.

Theoretically, as long as you can restrain someone, you can rewrite all their memories.

For example, if he teamed up with Qingqiu Mountain’s Grand Elder and others to subdue World Honored.

Then, he could completely rewrite World Honored’s memories.

Even to the point of convincing World Honored he’s his own son, believing Lin Yuan is his father, so that he’d always obey and be utterly loyal.

To fundamentally change someone’s memories—this is an extremely terrifying power.

After exploring the Meng Po tattoo’s power with the Dean, the Dean said to Lin Yuan, ”In at most ten days, or at least three to five days, I can replicate Liu Family’s Teleportation Gate.”

”With the Teleportation Gate, you’ll be able to freely enter and exit the Mysterious World, and hunt Tier Four evil spirits.”

”Remember, when hunting evil spirits in the Mysterious World, you must stay in the east, south, or north. Never go west!”

Lin Yuan paused slightly, seemingly understanding the Dean’s meaning.

”Is the west World Honored’s territory?” Lin Yuan probed.

The Dean nodded and said, ”That’s right, in the Mysterious World the west is World Honored’s stronghold. You killed the Ghost Leader and embarrassed World Honored—if he learns where you are, he won’t let you go.”

”World Honored should be entangled in some matters, so he won’t personally act against you for now.”

”But even if he doesn’t act himself, going to his territory, facing his subordinates—you won’t be able to handle it.”

”Two fists can’t fight four hands. Until you’re truly strong, you must never go to the Mysterious World’s west!”

After hearing the Dean’s words, Lin Yuan quickly thanked, ”Thank you for your guidance, Dean. I’ll definitely heed your advice.”

Lin Yuan doesn’t have many other merits—his strongest trait is knowing how to adapt to circumstance.

He definitely won’t go picking fights in World Honored’s own turf.

That’s not picking fights—that’s asking to die.

”Enough!”

”I know you don’t like chatting with an old geezer like me.”

”Go find Jian Bing. She’s been talking about you non-stop these days!” the Dean said to Lin Yuan.

...

...

Leaving the Dean’s research facility, Lin Yuan arrived at Jian Bing’s apartment.

Standing at her door, Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment.

Just how should he face Jian Bing?

After all, when he was relentlessly chasing after her, he hadn’t told her he had several other women!

Back in Hang City, Bai Ling’Er and his ”little sister-in-law” stood bravely in front of World Honored’s Buddha’s Hand for him—that news had already spread.

No doubt, Jian Bing knows all about it.

When they ate together recently, Jian Bing didn’t show anything, probably saving his pride.

Now that it’s just the two of them, he’s afraid Jian Bing might flip out!

Standing at her door, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and thought: If she wants to flip, let her flip! I’m a grown man—can’t I handle a weak woman?

Anyway, cheer up—a pissed-off woman is easy to calm down. Just, well, ”do it” a few times!

If once isn’t enough, just go again.

Thinking this, Lin Yuan knocked and went in.

As the door opened, Jian Bing said snarkily, ”Well, well, our Young Master Lin finally shows up!”

”Out of your busy schedule, you find time for me, your number three. Truly impressive!”

Lin Yuan: ”???”

Snarky as hell!

But at least she’s not ignoring him—so she’s not actually mad.

As long as she’s willing to talk, it’s not too hard to fix.

”Ahem!” Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said tentatively, ”Actually, you’re not number three—you’re number four.”

”Four?” Jian Bing’s big, soulful eyes widened in disbelief. ”Come on, just tell me—how many women do you have?”

”Tell me all your stories with them!”

Actually, Jian Bing wasn’t truly upset.

To tell the truth, as far as Bai Ling’Er and his ”little sister-in-law” go, she also deeply admired them.

After all, they stood against World Honored!

A supreme powerhouse of the Mysterious World!

If not for the rules of the world, World Honored would have appeared in the Real World.

If World Honored could enter their world, he alone could obliterate the entire population.

But facing such an unparalleled powerhouse, Bai Ling’Er and ”little sister-in-law” could stand fearlessly in front of Lin Yuan.

Strictly speaking, Bai Ling’Er and ”little sister-in-law” both knew Lin Yuan longer than Jian Bing.

In terms of personal power, Bai Ling’Er and ”little sister-in-law” are stronger than Jian Bing.

In terms of feelings for Lin Yuan, Bai Ling’Er and ”little sister-in-law” are more deeply connected than Jian Bing.

To share a man with such women, Jian Bing really has no reason to be mad.

When Jian Bing asked to hear about his love stories, Lin Yuan didn’t try to hide it and began to tell the tale.

Upon hearing about Wen Yingying, Jian Bing even felt a bit relieved.

Turns out, among Lin Yuan’s women, there’s one who’s weaker than her!

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

At least she’s not the weakest.

Actually, having three wives and four concubines has become normal since the supernatural invasion.

After supernatural invasion, most Life Pattern Masters are actually men.

After all, fewer women get tattoos.

Among Life Pattern Masters, men are the majority, so those who die in battle are mostly men too.

So in every shelter, the gender ratio is terribly skewed.

Far more women than men—so for humanity to continue, men having several wives is normal.

If it stayed monogamous, newborn numbers would drop sharply.

Even ordinary men have multiple partners, let alone someone as strong as Lin Yuan!

Given these circumstances, Jian Bing didn’t find it hard to accept.

After chatting for a while, Jian Bing stood in front of her mirror, grabbed some clothes and asked, ”Which should I wear today?”

”Should I go with the Fox Lady outfit, the mature wife style, or play the sweet neighbor girl?”

Lin Yuan: ”????”

Lin Yuan scooped Jian Bing into his arms, growling, ”I still like you best with nothing on....”

A moment later, some odd sounds came from the room.
