Cheat Awakening

Chapter 264: Chapter 264. A Way To Out...

"Since you're giving me such a brilliant idea, sweetheart, then I should assume that you enjoyed the food of that festival a lot, right?" Alban asked with a sarcastic smile, licking his lips as he looked towards Velvet. Anybody with a normal mind would surely label him a pervert after such weird behaviour.

"Wohh, woh, old man, hold on a second. First of all, what's wrong with your expression? Also although we indeed need your help, this doesn't mean you can try to climb on our heads. Second, you better throw away any bad ideas you have for my wife; otherwise, it can be very harmful to your old body," Myne said with a frown while activating his King's Intimidation skill at full power.

"Oh! An Aura skill, quite rare. It's been a while since I saw a hume with this skill. And sorry for my earlier expression; it's just an old habit, you know, not easy to change. But rest assured, I had no bad thoughts for your little wife. Anyway, sexual pleasure is a thing I've forgotten a long time ago and don't care much about.

If I can somehow manage to get out of this hell hole within a few years, maybe I can try to form my own family. But the chance of achieving my dream currently is next to none."

"Sigh, today's young people easily get offended. I am at your age; even if someone spanked my girlfriend's ass, I wouldn't take such a thing to heart," Alban said disappointedly, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head.

"A weakling doesn't have many options anyway. Maybe from your point of view, letting someone enjoy your girlfriend might be more beneficial for your health than getting beaten by them, and letting them directly steal your girlfriend. This is all about strength, old man.

And now tell me, is there anything wrong with the food of that festival?" Myne still not in a good mood asked seriously with a frown.

"Maybe you are right. I was indeed a coward at that time. That's also the reason why I never married early, despite my parents forcing me so much. Sigh. As for your question about the food of the festival, for your two's mental health, I can only say that it was all an illusion of your eyes, and there was never such a thing as delicious normal food there.

If you two don't mind eating gruesome things, I can tell you everything in detail. But the last dude whom I met three years ago and told about it, took his own life while trying to vomit what he had eaten at the festival. That was quite a sight to see; he literally put his entire hand in his mouth..."

"Stop, that's it. We know what we should, no need to go into any more detail. We made a big mistake, got it.

Sigh, no wonder I always had that feeling at that time that we shouldn't eat that food," Myne said with an ugly expression and In surprised eyes of Alban, he pulled out two chairs from his storage bag (Inventory), as well as some fruits, and handed them to Alban, who was already drooling at the sight of them.

"Old man, eat slowly. If it gets stuck in your throat, you might instantly get out of this town, as well as this world," Myne joked while watching Alban devouring fruits like there's no tomorrow.

"Hahaha, boy, you are too naive if you think you can escape from this town after your death. If this is really the case, then tell me, where are all those undead coming from? Once you die here, you will also, like them, become undead and wander around here until this town exists," Alban said with a manic laugh, leaving Velvet and Myne startled.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. If you go to the north end of the town, you will surely see it. It's very hard not to notice, with hundreds of evil Vengeful spirits hovering around it the entire time, making creepy noises from their ugly, disgusting mouths.

Anyway, if you somehow manage to enter the tower courtyard without getting spotted by those spirits, deal with those damn little things guarding the entrance there, and even then if you somehow make your way inside the tower—which I never could—then you only have to go to the top of it, break a big magic formation there, and boom!

That weird fog outside will vanish for some hours, and we can all go out..."

"Wait a minute. If you never managed to go inside the tower, how do you know that there is a big magic formation on top of it, and breaking it will erase the dark fog outside the town?" Myne interrupted Alban and asked suspiciously, raising his eyebrow.

"Suspicious of everything, huh? Good, good. Only this kind of behaviour can let you live long here. Don't worry. Just wait a few hours. Once I bring both of you to my secret hideout, you will understand how I know about it.

Now, if you don't mind, please leave me alone. My old bones need some rest. Ahh, so comfortable. I can kill someone for this," Alban spoke with a smile, rolling on the bed.

Myne and Velvet looked at each other before Myne pulled her toward the bedroom upstairs.

"Clean." Myne cast the clean skill, making dust and spider webs disappear from the room. Then he locked the room, and took out another bed from inventory, as well as a palm-sized metal ball-like object. He pressed the button on top of the metal ball and put it on the ground before collapsing on the bed.

"Do you think that Grandpa is reliable? He doesn't look like a person who could survive in such a haunted town for years on his own. I think he's not as simple as he's behaving. There's something wrong with him. My skill Heart Eye isn't even working on him at all. Something like this has never happened before," Velvet spoke with concern while sitting behind Myne.

"I know. That guy definitely has ulterior motives for meeting us and helping us. Although he behaves casually and carefree with us, not even for a second did he let go of his axe. This attitude alone shows that he didn't trust us at all. His every move was well-calculated, as well as the information he shared with us. He only said things that we could easily find after investigating a bit.

Also, his motive for telling us about that tower is full of loopholes. It's as if he wanted to give us false hope that there's a way to get out. He is a very dangerous person. Even now, if I'm not wrong, he might be focusing on our conversation to prepare his next part of the speech," Myne leaned against Velvet and said in a low voice.

"So this is why you activated the sound-blocking device? Wow, Master, I never thought you would be so intelligent. Why never show me this side of you, instead always behaving like a pervert?" Velvet with a light giggle, giving the metal ball on the ground a look before speaking jokingly to lighten the mood.

"Well, before this, my little brother is more than enough to deal with all your needs and keep you busy. So, how can you have a chance to explore my other side? My little kitty, there are many things you haven't seen about me... Okay, joke aside, let's take a small nap.

Although that old man doesn't look reliable, one thing he said is right; we indeed need some good rest," Myne said, hugging Velvet tightly while closing his heavy eyes.

"Fine, seems like this little kitty's not going to get treats from her Master," Velvet spoke lightly in a fake little regretful tone while burying her head into Myne's chest. Myne had already started snoring lightly, clearly having fallen asleep because of tiredness.
