Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 171 - 166: Lin Yuan’s Deceitful Realm Crisis

Chapter 171: Chapter 166: Lin Yuan’s Deceitful Realm Crisis

Almost every large sanctuary has its own research team.

Including the major financial families, they also have their own research teams.

Since the paranormal invasion, various research teams have been trying in their own ways to analyze the invasion.

For a sanctuary, the role of the research team is no less important than that of the Life Pattern Masters.

For instance, the Guardian Demon Alloy invented by the Xu Family’s research team and the Totem Visualization Method invented by the official research team?

These inventions can change the fate of humanity. Besides these, there are various other inventions and discoveries.

Among these numerous research teams, without a doubt, the research team at Emperor Dragon City is the most elite.

...

...

In the deepest office of the research institute.

A figure stood with its back to Ye Qing, making Ye Qing appear almost like a primary school student in comparison.

"Your aura feels heavy, what’s the matter?" An old voice sounded.

He always had his back to Ye Qing, so his appearance remained unclear; he wore a snow-white robe, with a full head of white hair like snow.

His voice sounded even older than Yang Dingguo’s.

"Director, something bad has happened!"

"An enormous Deceitful Demon appeared two hundred miles east of Emperor Dragon City and has already covered the entire Tang City!" Ye Qing reported truthfully.

Ye Qing now looked exactly as he had when Chen Zheng had just reported to him.

Upon hearing the news, the old white-haired figure known as the director froze.

After a moment, he inquired again in a deep voice, "Is the information accurate?"

Clearly, the news of a Deceitful Demon covering an entire city was shocking.

Even the white-haired director found it unbelievable.

"Director, how could I joke with you about such a matter!"

"Without confirmed information, how could I come to see you!" Ye Qing said with a distressed expression.

After Ye Qing spoke, the office fell silent.

It took a good ten seconds before the director was heard muttering to himself, "Impossible! Impossible!"

"At this stage, there shouldn’t be a Deceitful Demon large enough to cover a city appearing!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

However, regardless of possibility, the Deceitful Demon covering a city had truly appeared.

At this point, Ye Qing continued, "The reason I’ve come to you is to borrow someone."

"You should know my subordinates; they lack the ability to crack the Deceitful Demon or defeat a Tier Five Evil Spirit."

"I need your help."

As the head of Emperor Dragon City’s safety department, Ye Qing had as many as thirty action squads under him, with each squad comprising ten people.

In Emperor Dragon City’s action squads, each squad had at least three Tier Six Life Pattern Masters, with the rest being Tier Seven Life Pattern Masters.

It must be said, the power at Ye Qing’s command was quite formidable.

But it still wasn’t enough.

Particularly when facing a Tier Five Evil Spirit with a Deceitful Demon.

Why did Ye Qing continually attempt to poach Yang Dingguo and enlist Lin Yuan to his service?

It’s because, though he had many subordinates, he lacked someone capable of single-handedly dealing with a Deceitful Demon.

Lin Yuan had this ability, naturally earning Ye Qing’s attention.

Of course, Emperor Dragon City had others with such capabilities.

As far as Ye Qing knew, the Life Pattern Master in charge of Security No. 1 also possessed such capabilities.

Besides them, the rest of the Life Pattern Masters in Emperor Dragon City capable of single-handedly confronting a Deceitful Demon were under the director’s command.

As a rule, if a Deceitful Demon appeared within a hundred miles of Emperor Dragon City, Ye Qing would seek personnel from the director.

Usually, when Ye Qing requested people, the director would agree straightforwardly.

However, this time, when Ye Qing sought personnel, the director pondered for a long time, not immediately agreeing.

After much contemplation, the director finally spoke slowly, "No, one person is not enough."

"The emergence of this Deceitful Demon is sudden; it appeared at an undesired time and place."

"With our current strength, attempting to crack this Deceitful Demon would likely be very challenging."

After hearing the director’s words, Ye Qing’s expression grew increasingly grim.

This enormous Deceitful Demon was perhaps more troubling than he had imagined.

After all, when the director said it would be challenging, it carried substantial weight.

Yet, whether difficult or not, it had to be faced.

The presence of this Deceitful Demon posed too great a threat to Emperor Dragon City.

Especially since it was the first appearance of such a large Deceitful Demon, Emperor Dragon City had no contingency plan.

It’s akin to a tiger appearing in your backyard; how could you sleep peacefully?

Until this Deceitful Demon is resolved, Ye Qing would have neither rest nor peace.

"This matter can only rely on you, Director!" Ye Qing requested solemnly.

As the director of the Emperor Dragon City Research Institute, he naturally couldn’t sit idly by.

Moreover, this enormous Deceitful Demon itself held significant research value.

"Meng Zhang has been sent away on an assignment and won’t be back soon."

"So, I’ll lend you Jian Bing, Ling Guang, and Zhi Ming. If we still can’t crack the Deceitful Demon, then it would truly be a great calamity for us!" the director said in a low voice.

"Thank you very much, Director!" Ye Qing quickly expressed gratitude.

Ye Qing knew the director had four experts capable of single-handedly dealing with a Deceitful Demon, with the codenames "Meng Zhang," "Jian Bing," "Ling Guang," and "Zhi Ming."

As for their totems, it should be possible to guess their nature from their codenames, shouldn’t it?

...

...

In the Deceitful Demon.

The command had been handed to Lin Yuan, but he was still hesitating about the next steps.
