Cheat Awakening-Chapter 691 - . Fearful Footsteps

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Cetus walked into the cave and while observing the surroundings, came beside Fenrir, who was staring at a dead end.

"As they said, the teleportation anchor point has indeed disappeared, but there are still traces left behind: unstable space, darkness elemental particles, and that disgusting aura of the Abyss, I can never mistake it; it was lingering in the air in large quantities."

Fenrir's voice was filled with unconcealed killing intent. If Myne's trio appeared before her now, they would realize that the killing intent Fenrir used for them wasn't even ten percent of what she was unconsciously unleashing right now.

This was understandable since she had suffered greatly in the Abyss and harboured a deep grudge against it.

"Then what's next? Should we inform Mother about it? According to her instructions, we shouldn't be careless about anything regarding the Abyss and should inform her the moment we encounter or find any clue about it." Cetus, who hadn't had any real encounter with the Abyss and only knew of its horrors from stories told by her mother and Fenrir, obviously wasn't as serious as her. If she had a firsthand experience like Fenrir, she definitely wouldn't be so careless.

This was also why Fenrir let Myne's trio go so easily after learning that they were unknowingly pulled into the Abyss.

"Of course, we have to inform her about it, but..."

Fenrir didn't finish her words and fell silent, a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Although she fully trusted Cetus and was even willing to place her life in her hands, she feared that what had been troubling her might just be her illusion, and Cetus might misunderstand her.

After all, bluntly saying that she no longer believed in their mother and had doubts that she was an imposter wasn't something any child could easily accept about their mother. At first, she also dismissed the thought as overthinking and making a mountain out of a molehill, but her mother had started behaving more and more abnormally in the past few months, and she couldn't help but have some doubts.

Recently, she had been locking herself in the lab, squeezing all the scarce resources of the planet for some unknown reason, without caring about anything else, as if she were raiding an enemy's lair to strengthen herself instead of her own, which was completely different from her original character.

After all, she had gone through all kinds of hellish troubles for who knows how many years before she was able to find this planet and invest countless painstakingly earned resources to bring it to its current condition. How could she suddenly start behaving like a hooligan, not caring whether it was destroyed or not, and become a selfish b*tch?

As the firstborn, Fenrir had spent the most time with her mother and knew her best among all the children, which was why, while others didn't find anything abnormal about her, she had already started doubting that she was an imposter.

"But what? Fenrir, Fenrir, hey, what are you thinking so seriously?"

"Nothing. I will inform her about this. You go and rest," Getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, Fenrir gave the cave one last look before walking out with Cetus. After giving Myne a not-so-friendly look, he honestly opened a portal to her home and sent her back.

Then Myne did the same with Cetus, who, as they had expected, mercilessly dragged Ocea along without giving her a chance to speak.

"Well, it seems like only two of us are left. Shall we go home, partner?" Myne took a deep breath and asked Waffle, who was also feeling nervous as hell. Obviously, the fear of Aisha and Sylphy in his heart was no less than Myne's.

"Can you please send me back to Mother for the next few days? I think I should also spend some time with her," Waffle asked pitifully with puppy eyes, but all he received was a helpless chuckle from Myne and a push on his back, and he was thrown inside the portal.

...

"Remember what we planned: stay calm, stay silent, and nobody can climb over us. And don't even think about slipping away and taking advantage of an opportunity; otherwise, you know what will happen."

"By the way, where the hell did that damn dog run away?" Myne cursed while standing outside his house along with Waffle, both of them lacking the courage to knock on the door to hell and talking nonsense for the past half hour.

"That damn bastard ran away, who knows when leaving us behind to suffer alone. Let him come before me; I will definitely beat the hell out of that traitor," Speaking about Ted, Waffle's blood couldn't help but boil. It was literally impossible for him to digest that he was beaten while his best friend of crime stayed out of the entire matter and watched the fun from the background.

"Yes, remember to give a few extra punches for my sake as well... Now, shall we go inside?" Myne, while gulping down saliva, nervously asked, placing his shaking hand on the doorknob.

"Do we have any other option?" Waffle asked back, preparing himself as if he was about to face a terrible enemy.

"No," Myne replied. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and saw Amy sitting calmly on the couch, grinding herbs and turning them into powder, probably preparing material for her potions.

Hearing the door open, Amy looked up. Seeing Myne and Waffle giving her a foolish smile while waving their hands, standing at the doorstep and not having the courage to come inside as confidently as before, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. She quickly hid her smile and lowered her head, pretending not to care about them.

"Did she just laugh?" Waffle asked nervously.

"She did. This means things have probably gone out of hand," Myne nodded, feeling an aura of death surrounding his entire house. Confirming that there was no one else except Amy in the living room, he slowly and silently tiptoed into the house.

"Why is there such a creepy silence in the house?" Waffle whispered, feeling uneasy due to the unusual quiet.

"This is the silence before the storm," Myne answered, also feeling uncomfortable and his heart beating like a drum with anxiety. He just wanted to get this over with by coming before Aisha and Sylphy.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked out of the kitchen, literally scaring him to death. For a moment, Myne thought his soul almost left his body, thinking that Aisha had found them. But thankfully, it was a false alarm, and it was June, who seemed to be looking for snacks in the kitchen.

Feeling someone staring at her, June turned her head. However, seeing Myne, her eyes widened in shock, and she dropped the bowl in her hand.

Thankfully, Myne reacted quickly and grabbed the bowl, then covered her mouth with his hand and dragged her into the kitchen. Everything was done so naturally that people would even wonder if he was also a part-time kidnapper, at least Amy, who was watching the fun, was dumbfounded.

"Shh! Don't make a sound, or you'll alert the demons..."

"Yes, let us live a few more moments..."

Myne and Waffle, obviously too nervous, were talking about whatever came to mind, just wanting to avoid facing their end. Their condition was no different from a naughty child who broke their hot-tempered mother's favourite item and was now hiding from her everywhere.

"Mmmm! Mmm!"

"What!"

Annoyed by June's continued struggle, Myne yelled at her in a low voice and removed his hand from her mouth.

"Haaa... Huff, huff, huff... Bastard, did you want to kill me? I couldn't breathe, you blocked my nose as well!"

Saying that, she angrily stomped on Myne's foot, grabbed her snack bowl from him, and under his puzzled gaze, walked out of the kitchen without saying anything, as if she hadn't been affected by his disappearance for a month without saying anything at all, which left both Myne and Waffle confused, wondering why she didn't have the reaction they had expected.

"Do you think we are thinking too much, and they aren't angry at us? After all, it's not like the first time you've vanished for such a long time without saying anything, right? There was even a time when we literally declared you dead, so this situation is still in the early stages. As for me, I am just a minor character. At most, Aisha would give me a few spanks and scold me a bit, not a big deal..."

Waffle, while talking, suddenly paused, his mind cleared, and an enlightenment hit him. He looked at Myne as if he were some kind of monster.

Myne, seeing Waffle's reaction, understood that his trick of throwing the blame on him was discovered, and skillfully looked away, pretending not to realize his mistake.

"You bastard, you wanted to take all the blame again, didn't you? Damn it, how could I fail to see through you? It's the second time in the past two hours, you bastard will never change, I hate you!" Yelling at Myne angrily, Waffle didn't give him time to react and rushed out of the kitchen.

"Well, it seems now I am on my own... What are you looking at?" While helplessly sighing, Myne saw Amy peeking inside the kitchen.

"Nothing, if you are looking for Aisha and Sylphy, then they are in the backyard. Before you came, Lady Fenrir had already informed us about you... So, there isn't much point in hiding... By the way, you better not let them wait for too long, I think I saw Waffle flying toward them..."

"F*ck! You little bastard... Don't even dare to do that..."

Before Amy could finish, Myne's eyes widened in shock, and he ran after Waffle while cursing, he didn't expect that Waffle would stab him in his back for such a small matter.

"Now, where did I put that recording device, hehe, this is going to be interesting," Amy giggled and after taking out the recording device from her storage pouch, she also followed Myne, ready to record his dark history.
