Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 127 - 125: Deceit Village of Perfect Illusion

Chapter 127: Chapter 125: Deceit Village of Perfect Illusion

Zhang Zhen, after being admonished by Lin Yuan, clutched the steering wheel, stammering and unable to speak.

With poor driving skills, he couldn’t blame Lin Yuan for scolding him.

It’s like when you spend a lot to hire a girl, but it ends in two seconds; you can’t blame the girl for poor service.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhen seemed to realize something and pointed at the car’s navigation system, exclaiming, "Damn!"

"Boss, something’s not right! It shows 300 meters to the destination ahead."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was dumbfounded.

meters to the destination?

Impossible!

It’s absolutely impossible.

Looking out of the car, not to mention 300 meters ahead, even 500 miles ahead, it was still an endless wheat field.

"Boss, we’re not already inside the Deceitful Demon’s trap, are we?" Zhang Zhen asked tentatively.

Outside, it was clearly a stretch of wheat fields, yet the navigation showed the destination was 300 meters ahead.

Their destination was that village transformed by the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon into a trap.

"You can be more confident; we’re definitely inside the trap," Lin Yuan said slowly.

They had definitely entered the trap set by the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon.

There was no other reasonable explanation.

Everything they were seeing was false, similar to the illusions of the Deceitful Wall and Deceptive Eyes.

The reason they couldn’t tell was that under the influence of the trap, everything seemed too real.

How does Li Bai’s poem go—unable to recognize the true face of Mount Lu, simply because one is within the mountain.

The trap is just like that.

If you unknowingly enter this trap, everything around you might still appear as the real world.

"Boss, in which direction should we go now?" Zhang Zhen nervously rubbed the steering wheel.

Even though he knew they were trapped, all he could see ahead was a wheat field; he had no idea which way to go.

Not only Zhang Zhen couldn’t discern the way, but neither could Lin Yuan.

This was the trap.

The world of the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon; unless the Demon was dead, the visual illusions imposed by the trap would not fade.

"Let’s not move for now!" Lin Yuan said slowly.

They were currently on the edge of the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon’s trap, just on the brink.

Once the door opened, they could go further in.

So, the most crucial task now was to find the entrance to the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon.

Lin Yuan squinted slightly, a smile appearing on his lips, suddenly forming a plan.

"Set fire, burn its trap!"

As Lin Yuan finished speaking, the Soul-Luring Lamp appeared in his hand, and with a gentle flick of his finger,

a few flames emerged from the lamp’s wick.

Don’t underestimate these flames; they grew with the wind, and in no time, the entire wheat field was ablaze.

Luckily, they were within the trap; in the Real World before the supernatural invasion, setting fire to a wheat field would cause an uproar.

"Boom."

Just then, a deafening thunderclap sounded, like a bomb exploding on the flat ground, raising goosebumps all over one’s body.

"Crack."

"Boom."

"Crack, boom."

Subsequently, a blinding flash of lightning pierced through the sky, followed by continuous peals of thunder.

After a series of crashes, the torrential rain arrived.

As if a crack had opened in the heavens, pouring down like the Galaxy itself.

The raging wind and pelting rain hit the car windows, and sitting inside, Lin Yuan felt as if he was in a small boat on a stormy sea.

The fire in the wheat field continued to rage, while a deluge poured from the sky.

This scene presented a strangely beautiful contradiction.

"Boss, did the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon summon this heavy rain to put out your fire?" Zhang Zhen asked Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan shook his head decisively, replying, "Impossible."

"Although a Tier Five Evil Spirit is powerful, it absolutely cannot influence the weather."

"If Tier Five Evil Spirits could control the weather, humanity wouldn’t have a space to live."

"This should just be regular rainfall."

As the deluge poured down, the scenery in front of Lin Yuan and the others began to change. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Originally before them, the wheat field and Lin Yuan’s fire disappeared.

Now, a small cement road appeared in front of them, and faintly ahead on the cement road, they could see a village.

Deceit Village.

It had appeared.

This village had become a trap of the Mother-Child Deceitful Demon; let’s temporarily call it Deceit Village.

"Drive ahead!" Lin Yuan pointed forward and said.

Zhang Zhen started the vehicle, cautiously proceeding along the cement road.

Being an inexperienced driver, along with the torrential rain outside.

Moreover, ahead was the Deceit Village!

Soon, the vehicle entered the village.

It was almost dark, just the time for dinner.

In quite a few houses in the village, the lights were still on, and Lin Yuan even saw an old lady sitting at the door picking vegetables.

"How come there are still living people?" Zhang Zhen asked puzzled.

This village had already become a Deceitful Demon, logically, it was absolutely impossible for so many living people to be here.

But now, visibly, everyone here appeared to be alive.

Moreover, they were living as if before the supernatural invasion.

"In the Deceitful Demon, don’t believe your eyes," Lin Yuan said, looking around outside the car. "Maybe what we are seeing is exactly what that Evil Spirit wants us to see."

"Everything in the Deceitful Demon, except for us, is false."

The wonder of the Deceitful Demon lies in the fact that you clearly know everything here is fake, yet it feels no different from reality.

In fact, you can’t find any evidence to prove that what you’re seeing is false.

The Mother-Child Deceitful King and the Golden Armor Zombie, although both possess Tier Five Evil Spirit of the Deceitful Demon, their Deceitful Demons are completely different in style.

The Golden Armor Zombie’s Deceitful Demon is a Golden City, much too ostentatious.

In comparison, the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s Deceitful Demon leans more towards realism.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Zhang Zhen asked Lin Yuan.

To resolve the Mother-Child Deceitful King, the first thing to do is to find it.

To find the Mother-Child Deceitful King, we must first settle down in this village.

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you obtain the tiger’s cub?

Ugh!

If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you obtain the tiger’s cub?

"Find a family with affinity to stay overnight," Lin Yuan said to Zhang Zhen.

Affinity?

Zhang Zhen thought, most of them here aren’t human, what affinity, I have no affinity with them.

"Boss, you decide!" Zhang Zhen drove very slowly, letting Lin Yuan find the right family to stay with.

"Stop!"

"Let’s stay at this little sister-in-law’s house!" Lin Yuan pointed at a three-story house ahead.

In front of the building, a plump and pretty little sister-in-law in her late twenties was picking vegetables and cooking.

"Little sister-in-law, how much is one night?" Lin Yuan rolled the car window down a crack and asked.

The little sister-in-law glanced at the people in the car and said grumpily, "You’ve got the wrong village, the village ahead is Han Village."

"The village ahead is one hundred fifty, and when you leave, they’ll serve a bowl of noodles with two eggs."

Lin Yuan quickly responded cheekily, "Little sister-in-law, you misunderstood!"

"I meant, how much for a bowl of your food."

The little sister-in-law replied while busying herself, "Our home-cooked food, not for sale."

Not for sale?

"I’m a college student, give me a bowl for free!" Lin Yuan continued.

Regardless of whether the little sister-in-law was willing or not, Lin Yuan directly had Zhang Zhen park the car at the door and called everyone to get off.

"Little sister-in-law, we are college students on a trip, haven’t eaten all day, and want to have something warm here," Lin Yuan said in a negotiating tone.

The little sister-in-law looked up at their car and asked, "College students driving a Land Rover?"

"Second-generation rich, the family situation!" Lin Yuan replied fluently.

"Sister, there isn’t a hotel or restaurant in the surrounding village, it’s dark now, could you please give us some food and let us stay for the night?"

"We’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

"We are all novice drivers, driving in this heavy rain is too dangerous!" Wen Yingying chimed in.

The communication between women is much simpler, and after Wen Yingying’s persuasion, they not only got a hot meal but also successfully stayed over.

Lin Yuan and company only asked for one room, Wen Yingying and Zhou Yu the two girls slept on the bed, and the three men bunked down on the floor, with dishes brought into the room.

Aside from the little sister-in-law, this household had two elderly, presumably the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

As for this family’s man, most likely went out to work.

After entering the room, Lin Yuan quietly observed the family of three eating outside through the window.

Rural architectural structure, at the gate position there would be two rooms and a corridor structure, now, that family of three was eating under the corridor.

Couldn’t discern any abnormalities, the family of three gave Lin Yuan the feeling of a rural family before the supernatural invasion.

It must be said, the Mother-Child Deceitful King’s Deceitful Demon is much more convincing than the Golden Armor Zombie’s, genuinely reaching the point of being indistinguishable from reality.

If someone with weaker mental resilience lived here long enough, they’d probably rather believe this is the Real World.

After all, compared to the struggle after the supernatural invasion, who doesn’t want a stable living environment?

Even knowing everything here is fake, many would rather live in the dream.

"Ugh!"

Just then, a sound interrupted Lin Yuan’s thoughts.

Zhang Zhen spat out his rice and cursed, "Boss, is this bitch tricking us?"

"This rice is uncooked, almost chipped my teeth."

Upon seeing this, everyone looked at Zhang Zhen with a gaze showing concern for the mentally challenged.

You’re really daring to eat, huh!

Why did we bring the food to the room? Because this stuff isn’t edible!

In front of the family of three, we couldn’t refuse to eat.

Who would have thought Zhang Zhen would truly dare to eat!

Lin Yuan didn’t pay attention to Zhang Zhen, instead stepped forward, grabbed some rice from the bowl, felt it, and said in a deep voice, "It’s undercooked."
