Cheat Awakening-Chapter 656. Tiptoeing

"How was it? Did it work?" A hurried voice, thick with nervousness, echoed in the cramped, dirty room, where a dim orange light struggled to pierce the gloom.

"Although the effect wasn't as potent as we'd hoped, given enough time, there's a chance she'll regain her sanity and become normal," A thin, half-bald man said, walking into the room and embracing his wife, his voice filled with excitement.

"Finally, after so long, we'll be whole again," The woman sobbed, returning his embrace tightly.

"But there's one thing that troubles me: how do we ensure it doesn't die of hunger without risking contamination? We need to provide clean food, which is nearly impossible to find now," The man said, rubbing his forehead worriedly as he sat on the couch, having calmed his wife.

"What about feeding it our own meat? We're not heavily contaminated, and we have healing abilities, which is why we've survived this long," The woman suggested anxiously, clenching her fists.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Our abilities aren't strong enough to sustain another stomach with our flesh. We must find another way, and quickly."

Bang!

"What was that?" The woman jolted to her feet, hearing the noise from outside.

"It's probably those damned creepers. They've made a hole in our backyard wall and occasionally come inside looking for prey. Ignore it. Our entire house is secured with the world's most advanced locks, and the doors are made of steel. No one can enter without our permission," The man said, dismissing the noise. He had grown accustomed to it, but his wife was easily startled, despite nearly a year in this nightmarish world.

"All right, if you say so," The woman nodded, hugging her husband tightly, the fear still evident in her eyes. She then lay down with her head on his lap, and he gently stroked her hair.

...

"Oops, I hope no one heard that," Myne muttered, hiding under the only window facing the backyard, which was tightly sealed with steel bars, and looking at the broken vase on the ground. He was distracted by a damn crow who come from god knows where and startled him.

"Phew, nobody seems to hear it. Safe. I need to be more careful. If something like that happened inside the house, I'd be in serious trouble," Myne whispered before slowly moving toward the back door.

"Well, this mysterious power of mine seems custom-made for me. If I'd chosen to be a thief, I'd definitely become a legend," Myne chuckled, shaking his head as he opened the iron door, secured with an electronic lock that was easily bypassed thanks to the { ? }, the secret killer.

"Damn it, this house is huge... and so dirty! What do they do all day? Can't they clean up a bit?" Myne pushed aside a spider web and tiptoed inside. Thankfully, his night vision allowed him to see clearly, otherwise, with the furniture and objects scattered like a junk shop, it would be difficult to move without making noise.

"Now, where should I start looking?" Myne surveyed the large house with its many rooms, unsure where to begin. He had no idea what he was looking for, just hoping to get lucky. He didn't even believe Waffle or the others could be so near him in such a big city.

He began checking each room, finding most empty, with old furniture covered in sheets and nothing of value. Only the kitchen seemed regularly used, and he found a lot of meat in the freezer.

{ Something exciting going on inside. }

As Myne reached the first floor, a bright golden { ? } floating in front of a room at the end of the passage caught his eye. After reading the message, his eyes lit up, and he hurried toward it.

"Ah~ Not so hard, dear..."

"Paa! Paa! Paa!"

"Honey, please remove your tail, it's hurting me... Amm~ Yes, like that, deeper..."

As Myne approached the room, he heard a woman's voice and the unmistakable sound of slapping flesh. He immediately understood what was happening inside.

"Damn it, people are dying and becoming food outside, barely clinging to life, and these two bastards are enjoying themselves. The world really isn't fair," Myne cursed, but he didn't leave, driven by a mix of jealousy and curiosity. Instead, he slowly opened the door and peeked inside.

The room's interior was quite luxurious, though it wasn't as clean a little bit just like the rest of the house. A bed stood in the centre, and a lamp beside the bedside table illuminated the room with a dim orange light.

On the bed, a man lay atop a woman, her leg raised high, with him positioned between them, thrusting into her wildly. The bed shook violently as if it might break at any moment, and the sounds of wet slapping, the man's panting, and the woman's incoherent cries echoed continuously through the room.

Myne, hoping to witness something exciting, was sadly met with nothing but the man's dark buttock, ruining his mood entirely. He promptly closed the door, cursing under his breath.

"Sigh, now I'm missing girls," Myne muttered, adjusting little brother in his pants, and proceeded to the second floor. Surprisingly, there were only two rooms on the entire floor. One had a "Not Wanting to See Anyone" sign hanging on it, and the other appeared to be a laboratory.

Myne opened the lab door and found it filled with various chemicals and the body parts of different monsters. A strange, rotten stench, mixed with chemicals permeated the room, and all sorts of things were scattered on the floor. Myne gave the lab a cursory glance and closed the door again. Anything related to the study and being unable to bring him instant benefits was not something Myne cared about.

"Let's see what we have here! F*ck! What is that smell?"

As the door to the other room opened, a stench hundreds of times more disgusting than a rotting corpse hit Myne's face. He nearly vomited everything he had eaten for dinner. Despite instantly covering his nose, the smell still managed to invade his nostrils, leaving him feeling as though he wouldn't be able to forget it for at least a week.

While enduring the revolting odour, Myne looked inside the room. The entire room resembled the bottom of a sewer, with disgusting, shit-like yellowish substances spread across the ground, and black liquid coating the ceiling.

There was no light or window, the room was completely sealed. A large monster around four meters tall looked like a meatball, seemingly made of tumorous flesh with large boils growing all over it, occasionally bursting like a volcano, spewing yellowish liquid, which was the source of the substances on the floor and the stench.

Beside the disgusting creature, a large blood bag hangs on the wall, continuously supplying fresh blood to it.

{ A half-unconscious mutant Polluted Anomaly, on the verge of losing sanity and turning into a monster. }

[ Level 3 Pollution Anomaly.

Abilities: Regeneration, Acid Spray, Minor Hypnosis.

Sanity Value: 2.1 ]

"Hmm, so each level grants an ability, huh? And why on earth would someone keep this disgusting thing in their house? Wouldn't it be better to dispose of it as soon as possible? Who knows when it might transform into a monster and devour everyone..."

"Maybe it was someone close to the couple before it turned into this thing, and they're unwilling to let it go," Myne guessed, which wasn't difficult to deduce, otherwise, someone wouldn't be supplying blood on a regular basis to the monster.

But why does this thing need blood in the first place? It has regeneration ability and doesn't seem to have left this place for a long time to get injured, He thought, confused, as he closed the door and walked downstairs.

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? Now, the only place left is the basement, the creepiest place in any house. Since this couple doesn't mind taking care of that disgusting thing, I doubt their basement will be a nice place. I wouldn't be surprised if I found a few dozen dead bodies down there," Myne joked to lighten his mood.

As he passed the couple's bedroom, where their fierce battle was still ongoing, he peeked inside again and saw that the woman was now riding the man. She had a nice figure, a beautiful face, and long black hair, but sadly, C-cup breasts, which instantly ruined Myne's mood.

Being a big-boobs lover, he could accept even if she wasn't beautiful but not this, so he rolled his eyes and closed the door. Little did he know that his brief movement had been noticed by the woman.

The light from outside, however dim, was enough for her to see him in their dark room. However, before she could inform her husband that someone had invaded their house, her excited husband didn't give her time to speak. He locked her lips with his, pushed her onto the bed as if she wasn't doing her job properly, and started moving like a beast.

...

"This should be the basement," Myne thought, looking at the wooden door under the staircase, which was tightly locked with thick chains. Then, he moves his eyes to the { ? } on the lock.

{ Insert a thin wire and rotate it three times clockwise, then up and down, left and right, to open it. }

Within ten seconds, there was a clicking sound from the iron lock, and the chain loosened.

"That was much easier than I thought. No wonder there are so many thieves out there. Lock-picking is so damn easy. I better change my house and clan locks to magical ones, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep peacefully," Myne complained as he removed the chains and opened the basement door.
