Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 370 - 364: Questioning the Dean—Getting to the Bottom of It

Is the dean the World Honored?

This savior of the Human Race is actually the ruler of that Mysterious World.

It’s like delivering food during the day while cursing the security guard and then being the security guard blocking food at night.

This dual identity brought an overwhelming sense of contrast to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan clenched his teeth tightly, his fists clenched so hard that his fingernails were embedded into his flesh.

At this moment, a feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart.

What should he do?

Lin Yuan cannot be the savior of the Human Race!

Not to mention saving the Human Race, right now, he can’t even save himself.

The feeling of being deceived made Lin Yuan feel extremely angry.

This is a kind of anger from being insulted intellectually and having his emotions toyed with.

Even now, with the fact that the dean is indeed the World Honored proven.

Lin Yuan still couldn’t figure out what his purpose in doing this was.

Suddenly, an idea arose in Lin Yuan’s mind.

It was that he must go and ask the dean clearly.

"Stay here and don’t move, I must go talk to him clearly!" Lin Yuan said categorically.

However, upon hearing Lin Yuan’s idea, Little Sister-in-law immediately stood out in opposition.

"Don’t go!" Little Sister-in-law grabbed Lin Yuan’s hand, her eyes filled with worry, her tone pleading as she spoke: "If you go now, it will be throwing yourself into the lion’s den."

"If he wants to harm you, it would be all too easy!"

The World Honored is a Tier Two Peak Powerhouse and the strongest among all Tier Two.

Even Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and several Tier Two Peak Powerhouses combined dare not face him head-on.

They can only plot and scheme secretly from behind.

Lin Yuan now is merely Tier Four in strength, if he exposes the dean’s true identity, in shameful anger, killing Lin Yuan wouldn’t be more difficult than crushing an ant.

However, hearing Little Sister-in-law’s words, Lin Yuan showed a bitter smile.

Going now to confront the dean— is it a dead-end path?

And if he doesn’t go, does it mean he won’t die?

Lin Yuan’s current way of enhancing strength lies in engraving tattoos upon his soul.

And the only one who can help Lin Yuan engrave tattoos upon his soul is the dean alone.

If his strength cannot be increased, remaining stuck at Tier Four, it would eventually mean death to him.

Since sticking his head out means one blade, and tucking his head back means another blade, he might as well take the gamble.

He doesn’t want to die like a monkey in a circus played with by the dean.

Even if he dies, Lin Yuan must understand everything.

"I must go on this trip."

"Since there’s a problem with the dean, then the Human Race is doomed. Once the Mysterious World and the Real World merge, I’m on a path to death sooner or later."

"At most, it’s just a choice between dying sooner or later." Lin Yuan’s tone resolute, once determined, he wouldn’t change it.

Lin Yuan had made up his mind; he directly used the ability of the Yellow Springs Road Tattoo to return to Emperor Dragon City.

Little Sister-in-law and Jian Bing didn’t stop him; they knew Lin Yuan’s character well, once he made a decision, even eight horses couldn’t pull him back.

The worst result is nothing more than death.

If Lin Yuan dies, they certainly wouldn’t survive alone either.

...

...

Emperor Dragon City.

Research Institute.

Not much time had passed since Lin Yuan last came here.

But when he stood before the doors of the Research Institute again, he felt this place incredibly foreign.

Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t necessarily a good thing.

After understanding the whole truth, Lin Yuan felt as if a mountain was heavily weighing on his shoulders.

"Hoo!"

"Hoo! Hoo!"

After taking several deep breaths, Lin Yuan calmed himself and strode towards the interior of the Research Institute.

Lin Yuan was considered a regular here, so the guards did not stop him, directly letting him through.

Knowing the place well, Lin Yuan quickly reached the deepest part of the Research Institute.

At this moment, the group of researchers were still studying the old tree roots.

"All of you, get out!" Lin Yuan said to the group of researchers.

The researchers: "????"

The researchers looked at each other, seeing the confusion and puzzlement in each other’s eyes.

These high-IQ researchers all had their own pride.

The group looked at Lin Yuan, but none of them left.

It’s impossible to abandon midway a project and walk away just because Lin Yuan said so.

After all, they weren’t under Lin Yuan’s jurisdiction.

Lin Yuan was already in a bad mood, and seeing these people completely ignoring him, anger surged within him.

In the next moment, he summoned Zhong Kui’s Ghost-Slaying Sword.

"I told you to leave! Don’t you understand human language?" Lin Yuan drew his sword and shouted angrily.

At this moment, an old researcher stood up and pointed at Lin Yuan shouting, "Lin Yuan, what’s wrong with you?"

Just then, the dean, seated in a wheelchair, emerged from the office.

"Enough!"

"All of you leave first! I have some words to speak with Lin Yuan alone!" The dean waved his hand, signaling the researchers to leave.

Since the dean was the direct supervisor of these researchers, they naturally had to heed his words.

Helplessly, the researchers could only put down their work, turning away one after another.

After everyone left, the alloy door of the research room slowly closed.

"Should I call you the World Honored, or the dean now?" Lin Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched as he spoke.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the dean was initially a bit stunned but soon regained his composure.

"Do you trust me?" The dean posed a soul-stirring question.

Trust him?

Lin Yuan hesitated, unsure of whether he should trust him or not.

Honestly, from their acquaintance till now, the dean had never harmed Lin Yuan, but continuously helped him instead.

Lin Yuan’s current strength is undoubtedly closely linked to the dean.

"Trust you?"

"How can I trust you?"

"From the beginning of the Mysterious invasion, everything has been your scheme, hasn’t it."

"Who would have thought, you, a mentor to all humanity, are the orchestrator of everything, the World Honored?"

"World Honored, you’ve hidden really deep!"

"What’s your motive behind all of this?"

"Are you raising all humanity as livestock? Making us sacrificial pawns for your enlightenment, stepping stones?" Lin Yuan yelled hysterically.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was on the verge of madness, losing all reason.

Upon learning the dean was the World Honored, his entire worldview had completely collapsed.

The dean patiently listened to Lin Yuan’s roar, without interrupting, allowing him to vent his anger.

At this moment, the dean still had an appearance of a kind, benevolent old man.

Simply looking at him now, it was unimaginable to associate him with the World Honored.

After Lin Yuan exhausted his anger, the dean finally spoke: "Strictly speaking, I am not the World Honored."

"I’m merely a Good Corpse from the first lifetime of the World Honored, through countless cycles of Reincarnation, I’ve gained my own consciousness and ideas."

"The World Honored cannot actually dominate me or dictate my choices."
