Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 52: Master Qi, Xie Bi’an
Giant Spirit, Diting, Night Traveler, Prajna....
This mysterious squad in black robes is quite unusual!
Their codenames are actually titles of ancient deities from Huaxia mythology.
It’s known that the man with the codename Night Traveler has the awakened ability of the Night Wanderer tattoo.
So, do Giant Spirit, Diting, and Prajna correspond to their respective deities in awakened tattoo abilities?
Everything remains unknown until they use their awakened tattoo abilities.
The person with the codename Prajna obeys the order of the leading black-robed man and goes to assist Night Traveler, who hasn’t returned for a long time.
Even though the black robe is loose and Prajna wears a deceitful mask with a green face and tusks.
Before moving a step, as the robe is drawn, one can vaguely discern the graceful figure beneath the black robe.
In simple terms, under the black robe is a woman with a plump behind suited for childbearing.
That’s right!
This person with the codename Prajna is a woman.
...
...
At this moment, on the other side.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yingying, and Zhang Zhen, along with Night Traveler on the edge without entering, are sitting cross-legged, absorbing the deceitful qi.
At this time, the surrounding deceitful qi is about ten percent compared to before.
Night Traveler is the first to awaken from meditation, sneaking a glance toward Lin Yuan and the others.
Night Traveler knows it’s time for him to escape.
While there is still some deceitful qi, as Lin Yuan and the others are focused on absorbing, he opts to leave respectfully.
If they wait until the deceitful qi is fully absorbed, then Lin Yuan and the others would wake up.
And if he waits to escape then, wouldn’t it add complications?
Night Traveler thinks, it’s best to leave now; if he pushes his luck, it could end up with a fatal incident.
With this thought, Night Traveler quietly turns to leave.
But as Night Traveler turns to go, he suddenly realizes he’s unable to move.
Looking down, he sees his shoulder is held by Lin Yuan with one hand.
Lin Yuan’s hand feels like an iron clamp, unmoving despite Night Traveler’s struggle.
Instantly, Night Traveler’s expression darkens.
He now feels as if he’s been stubbornly stupid, greedy for the deceitful qi, making escape difficult.
Night Traveler tries to maintain his composure, awkwardly asking, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Hmph!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly, asking, "Thinking of leaving, have you forgotten something?"
Forgotten something?
Night Traveler was taken aback but quickly regained composure, saying, "Oh!"
"I remembered, I forgot to thank Brother for saving my life; I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, I, Wang Chong, am grateful for your life-saving grace."
"My name is Wang Chong, my ID number is xxxxxxxx, I live at Xingshi District, Building 20, Unit 8, Room 301."
"Brother, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old son at home, I can’t rest assured as they are home alone late at night, I must hurry to check on them."
"Let me check on them first, and later you come to my house, I’ll treat you to a drink."
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Lin Yuan thought, we have no grievances, why do you repeatedly insult my intelligence.
If I let you go this time, can I encounter you next time?
You claim to be Wang Chong?
Damn, truly think I’m foolish!
You could be named anything but absolutely not Wang Chong.
At this point, Lin Yuan neither intends to feign civility nor deceive.
Instead, he straightforwardly says, "I found a Life Pattern Master’s corpse just over there. His heart was stabbed; it wasn’t done by evil spirits but by a person."
"The skin with his tattoo was excised."
Upon hearing this, Night Traveler’s expression changed instantly, becoming extremely ugly.
Oh no!
That corpse he didn’t manage to dispose of was indeed discovered.
Instantaneously, sweat beads profusely formed on Night Traveler’s forehead, his eyes slightly squinting.
Evidently, his mind is racing to concoct a plausible excuse to fool Lin Yuan.
Admittedly, Night Traveler possesses some quick wit.
Within two or three seconds of reflection, Night Traveler’s face showed a panic-stricken expression.
He said frantically, "Yes! Yes!"
"The one who died was my companion; we came together."
"Besides evil spirits and Deceitful Charm here, there’s someone hunting down his kin; my companion fell victim to him."
"You know, it’s fortunate I ran quickly; otherwise, I’d also perish under his hand."
"To escape him, I encountered those evil spirits, Deceitful Charm."
"Brother, you guys should head back promptly; it’d be disastrous should you encounter this killing madman!"
His explanation is quite plausible, were it an amateur Life Pattern Master, he could indeed fool them.
Unfortunately, he encounters Lin Yuan, who struggled for three years in an apocalyptic setting in his previous life.
Such skills of adapting words for humans and deceit for spirits are already mastered by Lin Yuan.
"Ha!" Lin Yuan sneers, "No need to worry about encountering this killing madman anymore; I’ve encountered him."
"Killing madman, you know exactly who I mean, right?"
With Lin Yuan directly exposing his identity, Night Traveler knew he couldn’t keep up the pretense.
He just couldn’t fathom how his identity got exposed.
How did Lin Yuan confirm he was the murderer of the Life Pattern Master, the one who excised the skin?
"How did you discover?" Night Traveler discarded the act, speaking menacingly.
"The wound on that corpse and the wound on your hand are identical."
"If I’m not mistaken, it’s the same dagger that caused it!" Lin Yuan resolutely solved his query.
Upon Lin Yuan’s revelation, Night Traveler froze momentarily.
Indeed, the wounds on the Life Pattern Master corpse, which weren’t handled timely, were Night Traveler’s doing.
Night Traveler used his dagger as a weapon to kill in one strike.
And he just sliced his wrist to lure evil spirits with the scent of blood, using his dagger.
Meticulous!
Absolutely meticulous!
This man in front of him is impossibly meticulous!
Such tiny details, he even noted them.
"Impressive!"
"Utterly impressive!" After acclaiming a few times, Night Traveler’s face twisted into a deceitful grin, "Unfortunately, you can’t hold me!"
As he speaks, Night Traveler’s form begins turning into shadows, eventually merging with the night.
He triggers his Night Wanderer tattoo ability again, granting himself immunity to all attacks.
Lin Yuan: "?????"
Goodness!
Capable indeed!
Lin Yuan stared incredulously at his now empty hand.
He definitely held his shoulder, yet Night Traveler escaped!
A cooked duck has flown off?
Impossible, undoubtedly impossible.
With a thought, Lin Yuan immediately utilizes one of his two cards.
The White Impermanence tattoo.
Moments later, the White Impermanence spirit body manifests.
A figure appears behind Lin Yuan.
Its frame slim and tall akin to a stalk.
A complexion ghostly as powdered makeup.
A tongue hanging to the chest, crimson as blood.
A smile sinister, neither crying nor laughing.
Embracing a Mourning Stick, wearing a pointed hat inscribed with four large characters "Bringing Wealth Upon Sight."
This spirit body is none other than Master Qi, Xie Bi’an.
