Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 47: The Worst Has Happened
"I..."
"I don’t know?" Zhang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then immediately asked, "Why, do you know, Boss Lin?"
"The key to tattoo awakening is Deceitful Qi!"
"The stronger the tattoo, the more Deceitful Qi is needed for awakening."
"If there’s not enough Deceitful Qi, your Lei Zhenzi tattoo will naturally be difficult to awaken!" After stating the correct answer, Lin Yuan continued, "Hunting Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits can gain a large amount of Deceitful Qi, which can help your tattoo awaken quickly."
After listening to this explanation, a sudden realization gleamed in the eyes of Zhang Zhen, which usually had a hint of stupidity within their clarity.
"I see!"
"So, as long as I follow Boss Lin to hunt enough Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm, then I can awaken the Lei Zhenzi tattoo and gain Lei Zhenzi’s abilities."
"By then, will I be as powerful as you, Boss Lin!"
"No, just being half as powerful as you would satisfy me!" Zhang Zhen was already lost in his own daydreaming and fantasies.
He had already imagined the scene where, after awakening the Lei Zhenzi tattoo, he would be slaughtering countless Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits, crushing them underfoot.
Of course, this kind of daydreaming, more commonly known, is called YY.
YY activities were something online novel authors were most adept at before the supernatural invasion.
...
...
Due to the delay caused by rescuing Zhang Zhen, it was close to eleven o’clock when Lin Yuan and his group arrived at the destination.
Special Square Amusement Park.
This is Peng City, the largest amusement park in the Huaihai area.
With a total area of 2.6 square kilometers, its area even exceeds some ordinary small town districts.
Throughout the journey, Zhang Zhen’s chatter was almost nonstop.
You know young people!
Going hunting Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits for the first time, feeling a bit excited and passionate is quite normal.
...
...
In the pitch-black night, Special Square Amusement Park gave off a sinister and terrifying vibe.
From afar, Special Square Amusement Park looked like a prehistoric beast lurking in the boundless darkness.
Just as Lin Yuan found out from the news on the internet, Special Square Amusement Park, for some unknown reason, had gathered a huge number of Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits.
Such a dense amount of Deceitful Qi, the quantity of Deceitful Charm and Evil Spirits was absolutely beyond Lin Yuan’s imagination.
"Stay close to me!"
Lin Yuan instructed, then walked toward the direction with the thickest Deceitful Qi.
"Brother Lin, wait for me a bit!"
After saying this, Zhang Zhen summoned the Pikachu tattoo, attaching Thunderbolt power to his hand.
Then, the "zzz" "zzz" sound was heard.
Electric currents emerged from Zhang Zhen’s hand, slicing through the nearby streetlight, cutting it in half.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Wen Yingying: "?????"
This maneuver left Lin Yuan and Wen Yingying astonished; this Pikachu tattoo’s ability was quite impressive!
Not only could it generate electricity, but apparently, it could wield electric welding!
Weighing the sliced-off streetlight, Zhang Zhen said, "I’m missing a weapon, this thing feels handy."
With the weapon in hand, Zhang Zhen quickly followed up, catching up in just a few steps.
Special Square Amusement Park is divided into many themed zones.
Including Adventure Island, the folk horror zone, Journey to the West Park, and other themed zones.
The first area upon entering Special Square Amusement Park is the folk horror zone.
The amusement projects in this zone are all themed around folk legend tales.
Modeled after the monstrous ape, with people sitting inside its belly, swinging up and down like a giant pendulum.
Modeled after paper figures carrying coffins, the carousel with people sitting in the coffin.
Also, themed on folk legends, supposedly once scared a person to death when it first opened, the eerie house.
....
....
Looking at the zone in front of him, Lin Yuan was somewhat bewildered.
Which great master designed this folk horror-themed amusement park?
Art can be ground-level, but you can’t connect it to the Underworld!
Art can be niche, but it can’t be evil!
Before the supernatural invasion, this would already be scary enough.
Now, with the supernatural invasion version 1.0, it’s even more terrifying.
No wonder there are rumors online about large numbers of Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm gathering here; that makes sense.
Let me put it this way, this design style born from the Memorial Hall and rooted in the Underworld makes Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm feel right at home here.
Lin Yuan could distinctly sense the source of Deceitful Qi emanating from this folk horror-themed zone.
Wait!
As he was about to head inside, he suddenly caught a strong scent of blood.
This place definitely isn’t a place for slaughterhouses.
Then, there’s only one possibility: human blood.
Following the scent of blood, Lin Yuan found a corpse in the nearby grass.
Seemed like it had just died recently, the corpse still warm. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The body was covered in scars, indicating a fierce battle before death.
The fatal wound was a stab to the chest, directly piercing the heart.
"Dead!"
"Killed by a human!" Lin Yuan said in a deep voice.
Dead bodies.
This, in the age of supernatural invasion, is all too common.
The fact is, people die every day now.
If this person had died at the hands of Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm, there wouldn’t be much to say; they were just unlucky.
However, the fatal stab to the chest piercing the heart, now that’s intriguing.
As everyone knows, Evil Spirits do not use knives to kill.
Moreover, when Evil Spirits kill, it’s akin to humans slaughtering pigs and cattle.
Humans slaughter pigs and cattle to eat meat.
Evil Spirits kill humans also to eat meat.
If Evil Spirits had killed this person, then by now, the corpse would’ve definitely been dismembered, eaten up by Evil Spirits, leaving only some remnants behind.
Although some picky Evil Spirits and Deceitful Charm might not eat human flesh, they do drink human blood, or even consume human brains.
Now, with the body perfectly intact, it indicates it was definitely not an Evil Spirit that killed him.
"Damn!"
"Humans have it tough enough, and yet, someone is hunting their own kind!" Wen Yingying said angrily.
Lin Yuan, wanting to turn over the corpse, touched the back.
At this moment, the back of the corpse’s clothes had already been soaked through with blood.
Considering it’s February, clothing is fairly thick.
The blood soaking through the clothing indicates massive bleeding from the back.
However, the fatal wound to the chest only pierced the heart, not the entire body.
Logically, even if bleeding occurred, it should have been frontal bleeding and not from the back.
At this point, Lin Yuan seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly darkened.
Lin Yuan swiftly flipped the body over, then lifted the clothes from the upper body.
Now, the back was blood-soaked, with large patches of skin missing, exposing raw flesh.
Indeed, just as Lin Yuan had imagined.
This person was a Life Pattern Master, and someone had forcibly cut off his tattoos.
The worst has happened.
