Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 269 - 263: Meng Po Inscribed Upon the Soul
Although, the director’s words seem quite unreliable.
But, aside from this, Lin Yuan has no other choice.
He can only gamble on it and trust the director.
Moreover, Lin Yuan feels that the director has no need to deceive him.
It’s very likely that Lin Yuan can’t comprehend his method of tattooing the soul, simply because...
His intelligence isn’t high enough?
Lin Yuan is certainly not dumb, in fact, he’s considered smart among average people.
But...
He’s just smart among average people.
Director!
In terms of intelligence, the director is practically not human.
Even if Einstein came back to life, he wouldn’t necessarily be as smart as the director.
Between believing in himself or the director, Lin Yuan chose the latter.
"Director, when do we start?" Lin Yuan asked firmly, gritting his teeth.
Setting aside all doubts, at this moment, Lin Yuan’s heart is left with only belief.
It seems even the director didn’t expect Lin Yuan to agree to his somewhat bizarre idea so quickly.
"Anytime!" The director looked at Lin Yuan, seemingly saying, pick a time.
Once Lin Yuan makes a decision, he never hesitates, and he said to the director: "There’s no time like the present, let’s do it now!"
The director had no issue with the timing, he was already prepared.
The director pointed to the high-tech soul extraction equipment and said to Lin Yuan: "Take off your shirt and lie down."
Without thinking, Lin Yuan took off his upper body clothing, bared his torso, and lay down on that pure white, high-tech device made of special metal.
After lying down, an energy shield slowly rose from the bed, followed by a faint yellow mist, and Lin Yuan’s head began to feel dizzy.
So....
So sleepy!
Before falling asleep, Lin Yuan thought in his heart, would the director sell my kidneys while I’m unconscious?
Shrouded in the faint yellow mist, dazed and groggy, Lin Yuan felt like a baby in amniotic fluid.
Afterward, Lin Yuan seemed to have fallen asleep, completely losing consciousness.
The director looked at Lin Yuan enclosed in the glass cover, and at that moment, a red light lit up on the instrument.
The glass cover slowly descended, the yellow mist dissipated, and Lin Yuan lay on the bed, motionless.
However, his current state is certainly asleep, not dead.
Because his breathing is even, and all his bodily functions remain normal.
"Ding Ling."
"Ding Ling Ling."
The director flipped a switch, and an extremely peculiar sound rang out.
This sound was somewhat similar to the Soul-Suppressing Bell in White Impermanence’s hand, but also different.
White Impermanence’s Soul-Suppressing Bell’s sound is more robust, violent. This sound is relatively melodious and light.
This sound is simulated by the director using special means, replicating the Soul-Summoning Bell’s sound.
This sound inexplicably attracts human souls; once the sound starts, it can draw out a person’s soul from their body.
Apart from drawing human souls, this bell sound also has a certain attraction to Evil Spirits.
Under certain special circumstances, this sound can be used to draw Evil Spirits to a designated place.
Along with the Soul-Suppressing Bell’s sound, a humanoid shadow emerged from Lin Yuan’s body.
When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, he saw two directors.
One director was sitting in a wheelchair in the distance, while another was right in front of him.
Moreover, the director standing in front of him was actually standing up.
Did the director’s legs heal?
Having just had an out-of-body experience, Lin Yuan seemed a bit dazed, temporarily not recalling some memories.
After being dazed for a moment, Lin Yuan remembered the director was going to tattoo his soul.
So this means, the one standing in front of him should be the director’s soul.
In the soul state, the director’s legs are naturally fine.
At this point, Lin Yuan turned his head to look back.
Sure enough, his physical body remains lying on the soul extraction machine.
The director sure is impressive!
He needs the aid of high-tech soul extraction equipment to achieve an out-of-body condition.
But the director seems able to freely enter this soul-detachment state.
"Director, shall we begin?" Lin Yuan asked somewhat awkwardly.
This is Lin Yuan’s first time entering the soul state, inevitably a bit nervous.
Nervousness during the first time is perfectly normal.
Seemingly noticing Lin Yuan’s awkwardness, the director smiled and said: "No need to be nervous, let me change to an environment you’re familiar with then!"
As the director spoke, the surroundings immediately began transforming into the shape of a tattoo shop.
Seeing this tattoo shop, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of when he came back to life and went to get a tattoo first thing.
Familiar!
There’s really a sense of familiarity.
Aside from the feeling of familiarity, he marvels at the director’s abilities.
His soul is so powerful that the environment he created seems entirely indistinguishable.
"Director, your Soul Power is so strong, wouldn’t that make the physical body a burden?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The director smiled, shook his head, and said: "The body is water, the soul is fish. If fish leave water, it’s a dead end. Without fish, water loses its vitality."
"Mutually dependent, how can there be any talk of a burden?"
During the conversation, the director already fetched a tattoo gun.
Of course, this tattoo gun was also conjured by the director’s Spiritual Power.
Subsequently, he gestured toward Lin Yuan’s physical body, and countless tiny red lights like fireflies floated out from Lin Yuan’s body.
Finally, they gathered into a ball of red energy in the director’s hand.
This red energy is precisely the Power of Rules obtained by Lin Yuan after slaying the Ghost Leader.
Since Lin Yuan’s physical body has reached its limit and can no longer absorb this Power of Rules, it’s temporarily existing in Lin Yuan’s body as energy.
The director drew out the Ghost Leader’s Power of Rules, intending to use this power as ink for the tattoo.
With the director’s Soul Power as the needle and the Ghost Leader’s Power of Rules as ink, he engraved the Meng Po tattoo on Lin Yuan.
After completing all this, the director had Lin Yuan sit down, and he started tattooing the silhouette of Meng Po on Lin Yuan’s left arm.
Tattooing on a soul is not like skin; a mistake could harm Lin Yuan’s soul.
The choice of the soul’s left arm is precisely because a mistake here would be less damaging to the soul.
Even the director, who is trying soul tattooing for the first time, is extraordinarily cautious and careful.
After working meticulously for about two hours, as the Ghost Leader’s Power of Rules was exhausted, a vivid Meng Po tattoo appeared on Lin Yuan’s soul.
Tattoos engraved on flesh and those engraved on the soul are completely different experiences.
The tattoo engraved on the soul gives Lin Yuan an innate feeling of possession.
It feels as if he has had this tattoo since birth.
Lin Yuan feels the soul tattoo is integral to him, maneuvering it as if it were a part of his body, without any discomfort.
No wonder the director said this method of soul tattooing has no restrictions.
As long as you can hunt enough Evil Spirits and use their Power of Rules as ink, you can enhance indefinitely.
The idea of soul tattoos previously seemed like a tall tale to Lin Yuan, but after truly experiencing it.
Lin Yuan only wants to say four words.
That is...
The director is awesome!
