Cheat Awakening-Chapter 667 - . Forging the Right Path to the Source of Collapse

The residents of the past were all monsters, each one crazy and abnormal. Even so, they were all extremely afraid of the outside world.

Finally, a normal person, Myne, arrived after a long time.

However, the tentacle uncle discovered that Myne was the most abnormal one. He was actually interested in the source of the collapse and seemed determined to go there for fun.

The tentacle uncle sighed, thinking that he was indeed growing old. He got up from the ground and walked to the storage room, where the pollution was still lacking. Thankfully, after such a long time, its power had reduced quite a bit, and now he could at least avoid collapsing instantly without Myne's help.

"I understand. I will help you with all my strength. But can you really let me talk to my daughter?" He asked hesitantly.

Myne replied, confidently thumping his chest, "I never lie."

"Bullshit! You said before that you put all the pollutants into the storage." Veins popped out on the tentacle uncle's face, and he angrily pointed a finger at Myne's nose. The reason he was limping was because he had been hit too hard and almost collapsed.

Myne: "..."

He said calmly, "Relax, put your heart at ease. This time, I am speaking 100% truth."

This time, Myne wasn't deceiving him and was being fully honest, but sadly, these days, people rarely believe honest individuals. When he was on the third floor, he had surprisingly seen the { ! } on the little girl's head.

It is shown above.

{ The remaining soul is trapped in this polluted world and cannot be freed. Put an old item she used in the attic and draw a five-pointed star on it. You can listen to her wishes, and perhaps you will find something unexpected. }

Without thinking too much, everyone knew that the wish must be related to her old father, either to resolve his inner conflict or to free her.

If this were a horror movie, then the plot would follow like this: with the little ghost girl's help, he would gradually discover the landlord's identity, uncover the truth, and then have a grand battle. Finally, he would influence the crazy tentacle uncle, and then the father and daughter would reunite and shed tears. The end credits would then appear.

This is roughly the process for a normal storyline; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to compete with the tentacle uncle, who was a grandmaster-level actor and hiding too deeply.

What a pity, Myne was using cheats from the beginning and didn't follow procedures.

After the tentacle uncle opened the storage door completely, a terrifying breath emanated from inside. The air seemed much colder, making people shudder.

He said in a deep voice, "I'm not a good person, but I never kill indiscriminately. I provide food and shelter to every guest for two years. I only deal with them when they break the rules or become completely polluted."

"And the parts of them created due to pollution have been preserved as pollutants."

Myne took a look inside the storage and found a large number of glass jars, which were full of various pollutants and contained some of the power left by the original owners.

The woman in red, who had a similar hobby to the tentacle uncle of collecting monsters and cooking her weird dishes, eyes instantly lit up upon seeing his magnificent collection. Now that they were all on the same team, she didn't hesitate at all and directly rushed inside, under the tentacle uncle's uncomfortable gaze, who felt as if he had just invited a robber into his treasure house.

"Listen, boy, take my advice. This lady is not a good thing; you should stay away from her... Hey! Don't touch that! I need that!" The tentacle uncle yelled at the woman in red, who had picked up a large jar with a slow-beating black heart inside.

"Why? I think she's a good teammate. At least she's more powerful than you," Myne said matter-of-factly, mercilessly.

"Forget it. You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, if you want to go to the source of the collapse, you need to consider two things. One is how to get close to the source without dying from the intense amount of pollution there, and the other is to avoid those mountain-like colossal monsters." The tentacle uncle looked at Myne and continued, "I think you've solved the first point, but the second point can only be solved by me."

The tentacle uncle adjusted his glasses. He wasn't talking crazy but had a wise look on his face. "Based on my two years of research and experiments, I have almost completely understood pollutants and anomalies."

"The power they contain is very strange, like a virus. Even if the host dies, it doesn't dissipate immediately. Once it gathers, it becomes extremely powerful."

The tentacle uncle offered Myne two options.

"Although your palm eye isn't a combat ability, it's very useful against polluted monsters. If you absorb more pollution, you might grow to an extremely powerful level and acquire more such abilities. This could create a window of opportunity to reach the source of the collapse."

"Of course, you know the side effects. You'll become a monster like them and lose your mind."

Myne decisively dismissed this option, resolving to consider it only if he developed a death wish. "What about the second one?"

"Then I'll create a monster, a terrifying monster formed by gathering all the pollutants, to give you the opportunity to get close to the source of the pollution."

Myne's eyes flickered, assessing its feasibility, and he soon nodded. "We can give it a try."

"Well, if that's the case, then I have to prepare a blueprint first. Let's discuss it tonight." Saying this, he forcefully pulled the woman in red out of his storage room, locked it tightly under her unwilling gaze, and rushed towards his room on the second floor.

"What about you? Are you going to join us in this operation or just be a bystander like before?" Myne, finding only the two of them in the kitchen, couldn't help but ask, despite knowing it might earn him a beating.

"Bystander, you say? Then, Mr. Fortuna, would you mind telling me who you think you are to me, that I would fight to my death for you? Not only did you give me such a wonderful surprise right after our first date, which made me want to beat you to death, but now you're shameless enough to ask me, instead of apologizing, whether I'm willing to join your suicide squad or not?"

"You've disappointed me." Saying this, the woman in red gave Myne a hard look before turning around and walking away.

"Do you think my charm has decreased after coming to this strange world?" Myne asked Ted, who was silently following him like a good bodyguard.

"Woof!"

"Yes, I think so too. Women are indeed too troublesome," He said helplessly, shaking his head, before running after her under Ted's confused gaze.

"Woof?"

...

"Are you sure Waffle is here?"

"Woof!"

"I'm not doubting your tracking ability, but I just wanted to make sure your nose is working fine. Otherwise, why would Waffle, the troublemaker, stay in this kind of place, instead of looking for us?" Myne looked at the small store before him, Waffle's supposed location. After all, this store wasn't far from their apartment, and unless there was some kind of super-powerful monster here, there was no way Waffle wouldn't rush out and look for them. Because, according to Ted, Waffle had been in this place the entire time and hadn't gone out at all.

While wondering what had gone wrong with Waffle, he and Ted entered the store.

"Ding!"

The doorbell rang as they pushed open the door, but to their surprise, the store was empty, and there was no one inside, except for all kinds of creepy items on the shelves, of course.

"Huh? What kind of nonsense is this? 'Only accept fresh body parts and soul, and no refund once bought'? Do they take us for fools or what?" Myne, seeing the notice written in big words on the counter, couldn't help but complain and walk deeper into the store, looking at the items on the shelves.

Most of them were small body parts like eyes, ears, and noses without pollution, which, according to the descriptions under them, mutants can replace their broken body parts without having to worry about any unexpected side effects, like weird mutations due to the reaction of the body part on their already abnormal bodies, etc.

There were also weird things like a "Presence-erasing candle," which sounded like a scam, or "paper warriors" that would protect you from pollution and evil souls, but were so expensive that even if you sold your entire family, you couldn't buy one. Or the "Absolute coffin," the safe haven: just lay inside, and nothing can harm you ever again.

There was also a glass ball: if you get tired of your neighbour, just give it to him, and he'll never appear before you again.
