Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 266 - 260: The Day Traveler’s Yearning for Release
Outside the city, the safe house.
Lin Yuan was very familiar with the environment here.
This was his and Day Traveler’s secret base.
In the past, whenever Day Traveler provided him with intelligence, it was here.
From afar, Lin Yuan could smell the aroma of food wafting over.
Upon closer inspection, the safe house now had an additional chimney from which smoke was softly rising.
Day Traveler had turned the safe house into a small countryside villa; it was evident she had been living here these days.
The door was open, and Lin Yuan walked in. Day Traveler, donning an apron, was busy in the kitchen.
"You’re here!" Day Traveler said sweetly, smiling at Lin Yuan.
Day Traveler was known for her youthful appearance and petite figure, and paired with this sweet smile, she really had the demeanor of the girl next door.
"I’m freaking crazy, actually thinking this mad woman has a sweet vibe!" Lin Yuan shook his head, discarding the unrealistic thought.
Seeing Lin Yuan standing there in a daze, Day Traveler placed the last dish of soup on the table and said with a sweet smile, "Four dishes and one soup, just a humble meal, don’t be picky."
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "I’m standing here not moving, not because I’m picky, but..."
"I’m freaking not used to you now."
This mad woman, neurotic, in a few days, turned into the sweet girl next door.
Let alone Lin Yuan, who could adapt to her?
"If not for my current strength rendering me immune to toxins, I’d really suspect you’re trying to poison me with this meal!" Lin Yuan joked as he sat down.
Day Traveler was still Tier Six Peak, but Lin Yuan had advanced to Tier Four.
The disparity in strength was enormous; Day Traveler couldn’t even handle poison that would be harmful to Lin Yuan.
Thus, poisoning was just a joke.
Day Traveler rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan and said grumpily, "Eat if you want!"
"I invited you for dinner today to thank you. Without you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to avenge myself in this lifetime!"
Day Traveler’s reason for the invitation was indeed logical.
After all, though Day Traveler had provided a lot of intelligence on the Deceitful King Faction, Lin Yuan was the main force behind its destruction.
"Your transformation is so fast now, I hardly recognize you!" Lin Yuan exclaimed.
Day Traveler looked toward the distance and said, "With vengeance fulfilled, I shed all my chains."
"Without the burden, I feel somewhat lost, momentarily unsure of what my life means."
Aside from the mad woman impression, Lin Yuan actually didn’t have a bad impression of Day Traveler.
Quite a pretty girl, and loyal and righteous, she indeed helped Lin Yuan out quite a bit.
The fact she’s able to shed binds and embrace a new life made Lin Yuan happy for her.
After they finished eating, Day Traveler took Lin Yuan to tour her little house.
However, upon reaching the bedroom, Day Traveler closed the door.
Looking at the scene inside the bedroom, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit creeped out.
Something’s amiss!
This is freaking not right!
Wooden frame, chair, sphere, swing, whip, candles...
They seemed like equipment for execution.
But no matter how one looked at them, they appeared improper.
Turning around, he looked at Day Traveler.
"Gulp!" Lin Yuan couldn’t help swallowing.
Day Traveler took off the coat she was wearing outside; inside was a set of...
Before Lin Yuan could react, Day Traveler actively snuggled up to him.
"A meal isn’t enough to thank you!"
"This is the greatest expression of gratitude!" she said, embracing Lin Yuan tightly.
Feeling Day Traveler’s petite body, Lin Yuan thought she truly had a special gift!
Despite being young, how could she outweigh even the little sister-in-law?
Lin Yuan never anticipated Day Traveler would use this to test a cadre.
What kind of cadre could withstand such a test?
Day Traveler truly intended to be this grateful to him.
Such gratitude, how could Lin Yuan refuse?
Two hours later, Lin Yuan lay on the bed, holding Day Traveler in his arms.
Just as Lin Yuan was considering whether to take Day Traveler back, perhaps to have her accompany Wen Yingying, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
He looked to see Day Traveler clutching some sharp object, stabbing towards his heart.
This sharp object was a hairpin from Day Traveler’s head, made entirely of special alloy, the front honed to an extremely sharp point.
However, the disparity between them was too great, and Lin Yuan’s flesh was purified by the Rebirth Spring.
So, even though Day Traveler exerted all her might, she couldn’t pierce Lin Yuan’s skin.
"Ka."
"Crack!"
The steel pin seemed unable to bear the energy Day Traveler poured into it, exploding entirely.
Even when it exploded, Day Traveler only left a white mark on Lin Yuan’s chest.
Lin Yuan realized she wasn’t genuinely grateful; it was a honey trap.
This was an attempt to kill him when he was most relaxed and off guard.
Mad woman, always a mad woman.
He shouldn’t have viewed her as a normal person.
Thinking this, Lin Yuan grabbed Day Traveler’s neck in a rage, "You..."
"You freaking tried to kill me?"
"Hahahaha!"
The Day Traveler suddenly reverted to her previous manic demeanor, laughing madly, "Lin Yuan, you still fell into my trap!"
"Unfortunately, the difference in power is too great, it was all in vain!"
"You..."
"Why, why do you want to kill me?" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and asked.
At this moment, Lin Yuan felt like his emotions were being toyed with.
To think, just now, he had truly considered the Day Traveler as his woman.
He was even ready to take her back and live with Wen Yingying.
Luckily, the Day Traveler wanted to kill her!
If he had actually taken the Day Traveler back, and she turned on Wen Yingying, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He could guard against the Day Traveler, but Wen Yingying could not.
"Do you think all the people who got the Night Traveler killed are dead?"
"No, there’s still one left!" the Day Traveler screamed hysterically.
Still one left?
Lin Yuan immediately understood, she was talking about him!
Back then, if it weren’t for him capturing the Night Traveler, the Celestial King and others wouldn’t have voted to kill the Night Traveler.
It turns out, he was the Day Traveler’s final target for revenge!
"To kill me, you’re willing to give up your body, right?" Lin Yuan asked angrily.
"Hahaha!" The Day Traveler continued laughing maniacally, "What does it matter, it’s just like being bitten by a mosquito."
"Pity, I couldn’t kill you!"
Originally, Lin Yuan was only restraining the Day Traveler, his fingers weren’t applying force. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Hearing these words, Lin Yuan’s fingers began to tighten as if he intended to choke the Day Traveler to death.
"Yes, Lin Yuan, kill me!"
"Kill me! If you don’t kill me, I’ll still kill you!"
"Kill me! Quickly!" The Day Traveler insanely urged Lin Yuan to kill her.
As Lin Yuan’s fingers continued to tighten, the Day Traveler began to feel suffocated, and at the same time, a look of relief appeared on her face.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan released his grip, throwing her aside.
"Kill me!"
"Kill me! I’m begging you, kill me, please!" The Day Traveler crawled back to Lin Yuan, pleading bitterly.
Mad Woman, she’s an utterly mad woman.
Lin Yuan understood, the difference in power between him and the Day Traveler was too great, from the very beginning, the Day Traveler knew she couldn’t kill him.
The reason for attacking him was solely a death wish.
Failing to assassinate him and dying at his hands was, for her, dying on the path of vengeance for the Night Traveler.
This, for the Day Traveler who couldn’t kill him, was the best form of release.
Release?
Want release?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan’s anger flared even more.
Perhaps, his anger wasn’t because of the Day Traveler’s assassination attempt.
But because his emotions were being toyed with.
In the Day Traveler’s mind, he didn’t even measure a fraction compared to the Night Traveler.
"Day Traveler, do you remember?"
"I told you last time, if you dare go crazy in front of me, I’ll take you to the Night Traveler’s grave, and first X then X." Lin Yuan said coldly.
The next moment, the entire room began to move.
When the room stopped moving, it was in front of the Night Traveler’s grave.
Lin Yuan struck the wall with one palm, breaking through, directly facing the Night Traveler’s grave.
Lin Yuan knew it was a fake grave.
But the Day Traveler didn’t know.
What Lin Yuan intended to do was break the Day Traveler’s will.
The Day Traveler, under Lin Yuan’s control, couldn’t resist at all.
"Lin Yuan..."
"No, I beg you, don’t..." At this moment, the Day Traveler softened, begging bitterly.
However, it was all too late.
Revenge!
Lin Yuan wanted revenge on the Day Traveler, or perhaps, revenge on the Night Traveler.
The Day Traveler softened, but Lin Yuan was unyielding.
Half an hour later, everything was over.
The Day Traveler felt ashen, she thought, even if she went to Hell, she’d have no face to face the Night Traveler.
Taking advantage of Lin Yuan’s unguarded moment, she turned her head and rushed towards the wall.
It seemed she no longer had any purpose to live.
However, in front of Lin Yuan, even death was a luxury.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Yuan dressed the Day Traveler and restricted her movements.
Subsequently, Lin Yuan destroyed the room and the Night Traveler’s grave.
Lin Yuan brought the Day Traveler to Zhuge Ming, instructing, "Keep an eye on her for me, don’t let her die!"
"If she dies, I’ll hold you accountable."
Zhuge Ming was meticulous, Lin Yuan believed he could handle watching over a woman.
"Boss, don’t worry!"
"If she dies, I won’t live either!" Zhuge Ming vowed confidently.
