Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 247 - 241: Prelude to Annihilation

Two conditions.

Within my capability.

Lin Yuan believes that Patriarch Liu is an understanding person; he shouldn’t make any excessive demands.

This box is already placed in front of him. Clearly, regardless of whether today’s transaction is completed or not.

The box has to stay behind.

To bring the box here means that Patriarch Liu has already staked everything on this gamble.

In such a case, making any excessive demands is meaningless.

"Let’s hear it!" Lin Yuan stared at Patriarch Liu.

"When the strange phenomenon invaded, I took some villagers to Lin’an City."

"Even though they’ve always been protected by the Liu Family, they’re not surnamed Liu. Furthermore, they just did odd jobs in Lin’an City, never did anything bad, and never harmed a life."

"I hope that the Liu Family matters won’t implicate them!" Patriarch Liu stated his first request.

Back when Liu went to college, he had the entire village’s financial support.

Therefore, after becoming successful these past years, he never forgot those who helped him.

Even during the strange invasion, he continued to protect many of his villagers.

Patriarch Liu’s request wasn’t excessive.

As long as, after investigation, it’s confirmed that those villagers indeed did nothing wrong, they truly shouldn’t be implicated.

After all, besides members of the Deceitful King Faction in Lin’an City, there are a large number of ordinary survivors as well.

The core members of the Deceitful King Faction, and like members of the nine prominent families, must be eradicated.

Ordinary survivors, if after review are found to have done no wrongdoing, can still be accepted.

Even in ancient times, although there were sayings about exterminating the nine generations of a family, it didn’t extend to neighboring villagers! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lin Yuan nodded gently and replied, "There’s no problem with this request. I can agree to it."

"Tell me your second request."

"The second request is for the Liu Family’s children. I want you to erase their memories, let them forget that they’re Liu Family, forget the Deceitful King Faction."

"Give them new memories to make them believe they’ve always lived in the new world."

"To forget us, never to remember again!" At this point, Patriarch Liu’s eyes reddened slightly.

To have one’s family, one’s children forget oneself.

This isn’t heartless but to avoid being a burden to the children, allowing them to live on with a whole new identity.

Giving these children a set of entirely new memories isn’t difficult.

Some Life Pattern Masters with soul power, even some hypnotists, can accomplish it.

"I can do that!" Lin Yuan agreed.

Patriarch Liu’s two requests were simple; for Lin Yuan, this transaction was a massive win.

It’s as if he acquired the Teleportation Gate information for nothing.

After the transaction was completed, Patriarch Liu directly used the Teleportation Gate to leave Peng City.

The transaction process between both parties was straightforward, and there wasn’t even any written record.

Perhaps, in both parties’ eyes, this kind of transaction was the most trustworthy.

Lin Yuan had already handed over what was sought.

If Lin Yuan doesn’t wish to keep his promise, even a hundred signed papers would be useless.

In a post-apocalyptic environment, such documents hold as much value as paper too stiff to use.

Patriarch Liu had already wagered everything. He can only bet, hoping Lin Yuan will keep his word.

...

...

After completing the transaction with Patriarch Liu, he successfully acquired the Teleportation Gate.

Now, the transaction with Yang Jing can continue.

However, Yang Jing is now at the Deceitful King Faction headquarters and Lin Yuan has no way to contact him.

How to deliver the Teleportation Gate to Yang Jing?

After pondering it over, Lin Yuan came up with a solution.

Day Traveler.

He can use the help of Day Traveler to deliver the Teleportation Gate to Yang Jing.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan immediately arranged a meeting with Day Traveler.

Outside Peng City, in a safehouse.

"Help me deliver this to Yang Jing, and also relay a few words to him!" Lin Yuan handed the Teleportation Gate to Day Traveler.

Hearing this, Day Traveler looked troubled and said, "I’m afraid that’s not possible!"

"The authorities and the Deceitful King Faction have had a falling out. With the bounty issued, Lin’an City has become chaotic."

"I’ve heard that Lin’an City is under lockdown. No one outside can get in, and no one inside can get out."

"Without the Ghost Leader’s orders, even if I return, I won’t be able to enter the city to meet Yang Jing."

Indeed, that’s quite a difficulty!

Ultimately, Day Traveler is just mid-level in the Deceitful King Faction.

If she returns without any valid reason, it will surely arouse suspicion.

So, that’s how it is!

If you want Day Traveler to return smoothly and hand over the Teleportation Gate to Yang Jing, then there’s only one way.

That is to find Day Traveler a legitimate excuse to go back.

Lin Yuan massaged his forehead, his mind racing, pondering what kind of excuse he could give Day Traveler.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan recalled a piece of information Ye Qing had shared with him during their previous meeting.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately took out a specially made communicator and contacted Ye Qing directly.

After a round of discussion with Ye Qing, his idea received Ye Qing’s approval.

After Ye Qing agreed, Lin Yuan said to Day Traveler, "Wait for me. I’ll go get something."

Utilizing the ability of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo, Lin Yuan came and went in just a moment’s effort.

"See if these items can provide you with a reasonable excuse to return to Lin’an City." Soon, Lin Yuan returned and handed a stack of intel to Day Traveler.

Day Traveler hesitated as he accepted the intel, examining it carefully.

The intel began with several photos, showing members of the Huang Family negotiating with official representatives in the Magic Capital.

The intel detailed the specifics of the Huang Family’s negotiations with the authorities.

This detail was about betraying the Deceitful King Faction in exchange for the Huang Family’s safety.

The current Deceitful King Faction was already falling apart, every man for himself as disaster loomed.

The Huang Family was also trying to negotiate with the authorities, of course, the authorities couldn’t possibly forgive the Huang Family.

Even though the negotiations didn’t succeed, the materials were preserved.

Now, these things could be used to pit the Deceitful King Faction against each other.

"It’s sufficient!"

"I’ve obtained important intel, delivering it back. I believe the Ghost Leader wouldn’t doubt it," Day Traveler assured.

For the Deceitful King Faction, this intel was extremely important.

No doubt, once the Ghost Leader gets this intel, the downfall of the Huang Family will be inevitable.

Although Lin Yuan’s way of leaking information was a bit underhanded.

However, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Is there a need to use clean methods against those in the Deceitful King Faction?

Keep in mind, even the cleanest family in the Deceitful King Faction, the Liu Family, would require a few minutes of Gatling fire.

The Huang Family members would require at least half an hour of Gatling fire to deal with.

Betraying the Huang Family not only gave Day Traveler a reason to return.

Moreover, once the Huang Family is destroyed, the Deceitful King Faction will be filled with panic and trepidation.

Perhaps, this was the only value the Huang Family had left.

Upon hearing Day Traveler’s words, Lin Yuan urged her to return quickly.

After all, the longer it drags on, the more unexpected things might happen.

Handing things over to Yang Jing earlier was akin to pulling back the curtain on the annihilation of the Deceitful King Faction.

Yang Jing’s desperate struggle would ignite the first shot in the destruction of the Deceitful King Faction.

...

...

Day Traveler returned to Lin’an City at the fastest speed.

Just as she said, the Deceitful King Faction had already locked down the city, and the patrol squads were on the rounds.

Without a pass personally issued by the Ghost Leader, no one could enter or leave.

Day Traveler handed over the photos of the Huang Family secretly meeting with the authorities to the patrolling personnel, asking them to pass the photos on to Feng Wuji.

Day Traveler waited for only about ten minutes before Feng Wuji arrived in a hurry.

As a confidant of the Ghost Leader, of course, Feng Wuji had a personal pass.

"Where’s the intel!" Feng Wuji asked grimly, reaching out to Day Traveler.

Day Traveler handed the intel to Feng Wuji without saying much.

Feng Wuji browsed through the intel, becoming more sullen with each page he turned.

At the critical moment of the Deceitful King Faction’s survival, the Huang Family wanted to betray them in exchange for their own safety.

"The Huang Family must be destroyed!" Feng Wuji gritted his teeth and said.

Shortly afterward, Feng Wuji handed the pass to Day Traveler, instructing, "You go back and rest first, and don’t move around freely."

"After I deliver the intel to the Ghost Leader, there might still be things that need your cooperation."

"Yes!" Day Traveler nodded and agreed.

Feng Wuji quickly left with the intel to meet the Ghost Leader, and after Feng Wuji left, Day Traveler wasted no time, hurrying to meet Yang Jing.

Finding Yang Jing and handing over the Teleportation Gate to him concluded her mission.

Yang Jing was slightly surprised upon seeing Day Traveler, followed closely by ecstatic joy.

Yang Jing knew that Day Traveler coming to find him meant the plan was about to commence.

His sister could finally leave this dreadful place.

"Those two?" Day Traveler gestured at Yang Jing, implying that he should block out the perceptions of Demon Tiger and Demon Flood Dragon.

Demon Flood Dragon and Demon Tiger were quite perceptive, knowing it was a private meeting and so they consciously blocked their senses out.

"The Liu Family’s Teleportation Gate can send your sister to Peng City!" Day Traveler said, handing the bronze door to Yang Jing.

Then, she added to Yang Jing, "Lin Yuan asked me to pass on a message. After sending off your sister, you should go do what you most want to do, and kill the person you most want to kill."
