Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 131 - 129: Damn! There Are Nine of Them

The moment the Trickster Child went out, Lin Yuan immediately followed.

Outside, it was pouring rain, with constant thunder.

"Crack."

"Rumble."

Lightning and thunder sounded continuously, echoing in the ears.

"Pitter-patter," the huge raindrops hit the face fiercely.

The Trickster Child was leaping rapidly across the rooftops.

Lin Yuan used the Yellow Springs Road to hang behind him, luckily, the heavy rain concealed him, so the Trickster Child didn’t notice him.

The Trickster Child quickly dived into a family’s courtyard, Lin Yuan followed closely, there was no one in the courtyard, but the lights inside the house were still on.

Someone was inside?

Were they Deceit Servants controlled like the old man and woman, or living people like the young sister-in-law?

With this thought, Lin Yuan quietly moved to the window to take a look.

He saw a short-haired young wife, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, roughly the same age as the young sister-in-law, but not as pretty. On her lay a Trickster Child drinking "Telunsu."

The Trickster Child that Lin Yuan had tracked was watching from the side.

Two Trickster Children?

Compared to the Trickster Child Lin Yuan tracked, the second one was noticeably shorter and weaker.

It seemed somewhat malnourished.

Soon, Lin Yuan saw the reason for the second Trickster Child’s shortness and weakness.

The second Trickster Child was eating when suddenly, "Bang!"

The sudden sound startled Lin Yuan.

It turned out that the strong Trickster Child came up and gave the weaker one a loud slap, then kicked the eating weak Trickster Child aside, and began eating itself.

The strong Trickster Child was feasting, while the short-haired young wife looked unwell, her face pale with no blood, occasionally breaking into coughs.

Her body trembled continuously, whether from weakness or fear, it wasn’t clear.

This short-haired young wife’s condition was clearly worse than the young sister-in-law’s. She looked like she could live for at most another week, or perhaps not even three days.

Clearly, this woman was the nursemaid of the second weak Trickster Child.

There wasn’t just one Trickster Child, nor was there just one nursemaid.

This realization caught Lin Yuan by surprise.

Moreover, was there bullying among the Trickster Children?

Would the strong Trickster Child finish its share and still grab the weaker one’s?

Lin Yuan thought for a bit, temporarily naming the strong one as Big Trickster Child and the weak one as Little Trickster Child.

By this time, the nursemaid in the house had nothing left, not a single drop remained.

Only then did the Big Trickster Child stop, while the Little Trickster Child, after receiving a major slap, just watched from the side, not daring to do anything else.

Clearly, this Little Trickster Child had been beaten often.

After being fully fed, the Big Trickster Child left along with the Little Trickster Child.

Seeing the two Trickster Children leave, Lin Yuan quickly followed again.

The Big Trickster Child led the Little Trickster Child to a building in the village.

From afar, Lin Yuan could hear sounds of laughter and play coming from the building.

Lin Yuan was perplexed!

TM there weren’t just two Trickster Children, there were more.

This building was the village ancestral hall, under the pouring rain, it looked desolate.

Adding to it the eerie laughter coming from inside, only someone with a strong psychological constitution like Lin Yuan would dare approach.

If it were someone timid, they would have fled in fear by now.

Lin Yuan quietly made his way to the window of the ancestral hall, and finally saw the situation inside.

One, two, three, four....

Nine, there were actually nine Trickster Children in the ancestral hall.

All nine Trickster Children had especially large heads, bodies deathly pale, with black lines flowing continuously, looking exceptionally creepy.

There were differences among these Trickster Children. The one fed by the young sister-in-law was the largest, while the one it bullied was the smallest.

The other Trickster Children also had slight differences in size, discernible to the naked eye.

"The young sister-in-law is really good at nourishing!"

"Even a Trickster Child can be fed so sturdily?" A strange thought suddenly popped into Lin Yuan’s mind.

There’s nothing wrong in saying the young sister-in-law is quite prolific!

Indeed, the Trickster Child she fed was the sturdiest, and not only was it robust, it even bullied other Trickster Children.

The Trickster Children were all playing, frolicking.

Lin Yuan observed the Trickster Children from outside, secretly numbering them as he watched.

The strongest Trickster Child, fed by the young sister-in-law, was named No. 1 Trickster Child.

The others were numbered according to size from No. 2 Trickster Child to No. 8 Trickster Child, while the bullied one was No. 9 Trickster Child.

At this moment, the eight Trickster Children were smashing the ancestral plaques they held, tossing them haphazardly everywhere.

These nine Trickster Children were all Child Demons; it seemed the Mother Gu was not here.

"Heh."

"Heh heh heh."

The ancestral hall echoed with chilling, creepy laughter.

One, two, three....

As Lin Yuan counted the frolicking Trickster Children, he found there were only eight!

No. 9 Trickster Child seemed to have disappeared?

Lin Yuan looked around the shrine and finally found Trickster Child No. 9 in a corner.

Is it because it’s not sociable that it gets bullied?

Trickster Child No. 9 was hiding in the corner, making rustling sounds like a rat, secretly eating something.

Lin Yuan was a bit curious about what it was secretly eating.

However, from this angle, he couldn’t see clearly.

So, Lin Yuan adjusted his angle, changed to another window, and finally saw what Trickster Child No. 9 was eating.

After seeing what it was eating, Lin Yuan immediately felt his scalp tingle with a shudder of fear.

A child.

Trickster Child No. 9 was actually eating a dead child.

Lin Yuan quickly took out the photo his sister-in-law gave him for comparison, and after comparing, Lin Yuan had one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is that the child being eaten by Trickster Child No. 9 is not his sister-in-law’s child.

The bad news is that in the corner, Lin Yuan saw a skeleton that had been gnawed clean, and judging by the size of the skeleton, it was clearly a child’s skeleton.

In other words, although he hasn’t seen his sister-in-law’s child, it can basically be declared dead.

"Damn it!"

"These cursed things!" Lin Yuan gnashed his teeth, his teeth itching with anger.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin Yuan decided to go back first, discuss with Zhuge Ming, Zhang Zhen, and the others, and then decide how to deal with these evil spirits.

Having only found the child demon but not the mother demon, Lin Yuan hesitated whether to take action.

This shrine is clearly where these child demons live.

Tonight, they obviously had no intention of going out again, so there was no point in Lin Yuan continuing to watch.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan decided to leave temporarily.

"Crack!"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to leave, a flash of blinding white lightning split the sky.

In the light of this blinding lightning, Lin Yuan saw everything around him, his body stiffened, and the hair on his entire body stood on end.

One, two, three, four....

The Trickster Children who had been playing around in the shrine were somehow now all surrounding him.

Eight, a full eight Trickster Children encircled him, staring at Lin Yuan with dead white faces, scarlet lips, grinning at Lin Yuan with sinister smiles.

These Trickster Children, like ghosts, silently and unknowingly appeared around Lin Yuan.

Even Lin Yuan had no reaction.

Wait!

Lin Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

There were a total of nine Trickster Children.

Now there were eight Trickster Children surrounding him.

So, where was the remaining Trickster Child?

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a chill down his back, and his neck felt as if it was blasted by the coldest air conditioning.

At this moment, Lin Yuan seemed to realize where the ninth Trickster Child was.

Lin Yuan looked up, just in time for the Trickster Child to look down, their eyes meeting, the scene seeming to freeze.

"Damn, riding on my neck, are you?" Lin Yuan cursed, grabbing the Trickster Child from his neck and yanking it down.

Then, he swung it around and slammed it to the ground with force.

"Grassy mud horse (a kind of animal)."

"Scaring me, you Underworld creatures."

"I’ll smash you, you bastard!"

Lin Yuan swung the Trickster Child hard, slamming it to the ground again and again, until it was a bloody mess.

Its deceitful blood was black.

To put it bluntly, with all these eerie invasions, this Deceitful Demon was the weirdest of them all.

Moreover, it’s important to note, what’s appearing now are only the child demons.

If the child demons are this eerie, how twisted must the mother demon be!

Lin Yuan, transformed into a furious elder brother, enacted a scene of child bashing.

The Trickster Child was battered beyond recognition, while the other eight Trickster Children remained motionless, seeming to be frightened by Lin Yuan.

No.

There’s another possibility, they’re settling their personal vendettas.

Because the Trickster Child being beaten by Lin Yuan is Trickster Child No. 1, who often bullied the others.

Seeing it get beaten, the other Trickster Children were likely holding back on purpose.

"Wow!"

"Waliwa!"

The Trickster Child being smashed by Lin Yuan let out a strange cry, speaking in some kind of deceit language that Lin Yuan couldn’t understand.

However, after it made this sound, the eight Trickster Children, who had been watching, also took action.

Lin Yuan guessed that the deceit language probably meant that if they didn’t help, he’d beat them up next.

The eight Trickster Children moved in unison, while Lin Yuan flung the battered Trickster Child and created some distance with the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo.

After all, surrounded, attacked from all sides, Lin Yuan would have difficulty handling it.

After creating some distance, Lin Yuan immediately summoned Master Qi and Master Ba.

Additionally, the long unused Ox Head and Horse Face were also summoned.

These Trickster Children were using numbers to bully; fine, Lin Yuan might as well call for backup too!

He didn’t use Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword, Soul-Luring Lamp, Qiankun Umbrella, and other abilities because Lin Yuan was holding back his trump cards.

This was because this time, the evil spirits were the Mother-Child Deceitful King.

What had appeared so far were still only child demons, the most formidable mother demon hadn’t appeared yet.

Lin Yuan kept his trump card hidden to deal with that mother demon lurking somewhere unknown.
