Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 55: Deceitful King Faction, Ghost Leader, Hunting Squad, and Celestial King
Being captured alive means you must contribute to the organization.
This is the rule of this mysterious organization. Not just a mere Night Traveler, but even the leader of a mysterious team would face the same fate if captured alive.
Therefore, the Day Traveler’s pleas were destined to be in vain.
In the abandoned theater hall, the leading man in black sat down cross-legged, activating his Tattoo Power.
In front of him appeared a radiant Seven Treasures Linglong Tower.
This Seven Treasures Linglong Tower was his awakened Tattoo Ability.
Artifact-type tattoo.
Such tattoos are primarily based on various Divine Weapons and Magical Treasures from myths and legends.
For example, the Linglong Tower, Yin-Yang Mirror, Immortal Slaying Sword, Demon-Subduing Pestle, and so on.
Of course, there are some unconventional ones too.
For instance, in his previous life, Lin Yuan saw someone awaken a tattoo of an enchanted Italian Cannon during his three years of struggle.
With this Italian Cannon, he could blast at some Low Tier Evil Spirits.
"Poison Lord."
"Soul Slayer Gu." shouted the leading man in black.
As the words fell, one among the men in black stepped forward, his silhouette slightly hunched.
He approached the leading man in black and rolled up the sleeve of his black robe.
On his arm was a tattoo of a pitch-black Gu Basin, filled with densely packed, wriggling Gu Insects.
Wait!
Something’s not right!
This tattoo isn’t his.
At the edge of the rolled-up sleeve, one could vaguely see the traces left by stitches.
This Gu Basin and Poison Insect tattoo should originally belong to another Life Pattern Master.
The man called Poison Lord gently tapped his finger on the Gu Basin tattoo on his arm.
A moment later, a Gu Insect the size of an adult silkworm, hideous and disgusting like a centipede, emerged from the tattoo.
Poison Lord picked up the Gu Insect and placed it on the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower.
The Gu Insect rapidly climbed from the base of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower, burrowing into its third layer.
Inside this third layer was a piece of human skin the size of a quail egg.
The leading man in black’s Seven Treasures Linglong Tower had seven layers in total, just like the number of members in this mysterious team, excluding the leader.
And in each layer of this Seven Treasures Linglong Tower, there lay a piece of human skin, corresponding to each of the team’s seven members.
All members of the mysterious team, including the leading man in black, were actually ordinary people.
Their Tattoo Abilities were acquired through skin grafts.
The human skins placed in each layer of the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower were the backup left by the mysterious organization when they were endowed with Extraordinary Abilities.
Destroying the human skin meant certain death.
The Soul Slayer Gu entered the third layer of the Linglong Tower, beginning to devour the piece of human skin.
...
...
The Land Rover Defender roared down the street, its engine breaking the silence of the night.
It was three in the morning; in a few hours, dawn would arrive.
Lin Yuan glanced at the car’s navigation, only a couple of kilometers left to home.
At that moment, an accident occurred.
"Splash!"
Sitting in the back seat, the Night Traveler suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Boss!"
"Boss, he dirtied your car’s interior!" Seeing the Night Traveler vomit blood, Zhang Zhen hurriedly shouted.
Lin Yuan: "????"
Wen Yingying: "????"
Hearing Zhang Zhen’s shout, Lin Yuan’s face darkened, speechless.
No wonder a college student with a clear, slightly foolish look in his eyes!
Zhang Zhen’s point of concern was indeed peculiar.
No, he didn’t get into college.
Is the focus now on dirtying the car’s interior?
Shouldn’t the focus be on why he suddenly vomited blood?
Lin Yuan realized something was amiss, suspecting it was a remote curse-killing technique.
During the previous life’s three years of struggle at the bottom of society, even though he hadn’t tasted pork, he’d seen pigs run.
Though he didn’t have Tattoo Abilities, he had heard many rumors about various Tattoo Abilities.
Tattoo abilities are incredibly diverse; there’s nothing they can’t achieve, only things you haven’t thought of.
Long-range curse-killing tattoo abilities are not uncommon.
Lin Yuan quickly stopped the car, rolled to the back seat, and looked at the Night Traveler who was bleeding profusely, his gaze unfocused.
"You didn’t say anything, yet they want to kill you!"
"Is such an organization worth risking your life for?"
"Don’t you have any family or friends? Anyone you care about, and who cares about you?"
"This isn’t loyalty; it’s sheer stupidity." Lin Yuan angrily rebuked the Night Traveler.
Perhaps Lin Yuan couldn’t wake him, but he had to vent the anger burning within him.
People like this, blindly loyal to an extreme degree, are truly infuriating.
However, when Lin Yuan mentioned "people who care about you and whom you care about," the Night Traveler’s unfocused eyes seemed to momentarily brighten.
"Gulp" The Night Traveler opened his mouth to speak, but blood poured out first. Struggling immensely, he said, "Save..."
"Save someone, save my sister, huff, promise me, save my sister, and I’ll tell you, huff, tell you everything you want to know."
The Night Traveler coughed up blood continuously. Even a short sentence left him gasping desperately for air.
The Night Traveler was loyal to this mysterious organization, so much so that he was willing to risk his life for it.
But he remembered one thing.
Today, he was captured alive, and the organization didn’t hesitate to take his life.
If one day, the Day Traveler was captured, what then?
Would the organization also mercilessly let the Day Traveler die?
The answer is obvious.
Between the organization and his sister, the Night Traveler chose his sister without hesitation. She was his only family in this world.
Towards this organization, with its heartless and appalling methods, Lin Yuan had only two words.
And that was, utter revulsion.
As long as he had the strength, he would not hesitate to obliterate this evil organization.
"Alright!"
"I promise to save your sister!" Lin Yuan agreed almost instantly.
Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the Night Traveler seemed to lay down his final burden, gasping, saying, "My sister’s code name is ’Day Traveler,’ a very thin, petite girl. Rescue her, get her out of the organization."
"Thank you, thank you."
After conveying the most crucial information, the Night Traveler began pouring out what Lin Yuan wanted to know.
However, his breath grew weaker, and his condition deteriorated.
He reached a point where even saying a word required a long pause.
"Deceitful... huff, Deceitful King, huff, Deceitful King Faction."
"Leader... huff, huff, the leader is called the Ghost Leader, I... huff, haven’t met, met."
"Boss... huff, boss, met... met."
"We, we... huff, huff, we are... one of the... huff... seven hunting squads."
"Celestial... Boss... huff, huff, boss’s code... code name..."
Blood continued to pour from the Night Traveler’s mouth as he gasped heavily, appearing to be on the verge of death.
