Cheat Awakening-Chapter 600 - . Monsters at the Gates
"What the hell are you doing here? And how did you get here? Were you hiding in the church from the day we met?" Finn, after locking the door, looked at Myne with a serious expression and began inquiring while walking toward the bookshelf in her bedroom. She pulled a red-covered book titled "Natural Way to Make Skin Shine." As she pulled the book halfway out and pushed it back, with a clicking sound, the bookshelf slid forward a few centimetres.
Just as Myne thought she would open it and show him her secret room, she stopped, turned around, and stared at him with a frown.
"What?" Myne couldn’t help but ask, seeing that she had no intention of speaking or looking away.
"Why aren’t you answering my question? Do you think this is a joke? You better not test my patience, otherwise I don’t mind sending you to the west," Finn suddenly had a deadly cold expression, and a red aura enveloped her body. Her blonde hair began floating upward without any air. Find more chapters on novelbuddy
Seeing that the other party was too serious, Myne hurriedly moved forward while laughing and put his arm around her shoulder, trying his best to behave like they were old friends.
"Come on, Finn, you mustn’t be so serious. We’re not enemies. I just got distracted by your skilled moves. You know, it’s not every day we get to see our crush’s secret room, right?" He said, giving her a knowing wink, making her roll her eyes in annoyance.

"I’ve already told you, I’m married and have no interest in a brat like you. Why are you still dreaming about me? Can’t you find someone your own age?" She pushed his arm away from her shoulder and pulled the edge of the bookshelf, revealing a one-and-a-half-meter-tall metal door behind it.
"And where am I going to find young girls like you mentioned? In the stomachs of those monsters outside? Also, let me be clear, I have no interest in your stupid crying daughter. She’s too much trouble to handle for the rest of my life."
"As for why I’m here, of course, it’s to find a way out of this disaster. As long as I’m not brain-dead, I naturally didn’t want to die. With my current strength, escaping the memory loss is definitely no problem, but surviving for three days is impossible, so, of course, I have to look for a powerful, beautiful, and kind-hearted backer."
Myne didn’t hold back when it came to flattering beauty like Finn. He shamelessly followed Finn into her secret room, which looked like a storage room with boxes piled up like hills everywhere. She didn’t reply to Myne’s nonsense and quickly began searching through the boxes. When she found something useful, she put the entire box into her storage ring.
Myne didn’t want to be misunderstood, so he stood at the door while continuing to talk, despite her ignoring him. This process continued until Finn put half of the boxes into her storage ring, came in front of Myne, stared into his eyes, and suddenly grabbed both his cheeks.
"If you don’t want to get beaten, just be quiet and follow me. No more words until we’re safe, got it?"
Myne nodded hurriedly like an obedient child, only then did Finn release his face and walk away in a hurry. Myne quickly caught up with her.
After coming out of the secret room, she opened the wardrobe, and put away all her clothes. Then she walked to her queen-sized bed and put it away as well, before hurriedly walking out of the bedroom and into her daughter’s room. Myne, who wanted to see what she was up to, didn’t say anything and simply followed her.
"Next, no matter what happens, don’t open your mouth... Forget it, put this on. I don’t have confidence in the two of you," Saying that, Finn handed both Myne and her daughter a piece of cloth, each and asked them to tie it in front of their mouths. Then she took out her stuff, chanted a spell, and hit the black gem on top of her stuff at Myne and her daughter’s heads, making both of them invisible.
"Follow me, and don’t wander around. If you get lost, then don’t blame me for leaving you behind... This is not a joke. We’re now running for our lives," Saying that with a deadly serious expression, Finn walked toward the stairs and began climbing to the upper floor.
Although Myne and the blonde girl both turned invisible, because of Finn’s trick, they could still see each other. Looking at each other, they hurriedly followed her. Because Myne had never come in front of the blonde girl, she had no idea about him and just thought he might be some important character her mother wanted to bring with her. After all, right now, she just wanted to get to a safe place. Other things could wait.
After walking all the way to the top floor, Myne saw a group of people from middle to old, in decent clothes, standing in a circle, instructing, black-robed figures, who were transporting supplies from downstairs and placing them in the centre of a large magic array in the middle of the floor.
Once the supplies filled the entire circular meter, the people in decent clothes activated the array. With a dark red flash, the supplies vanished, and the black robe period continued placing supplies in the empty magic array.
Finn seemed to already know about this, and she didn’t react at all. Instead, she looked around and hurriedly walked toward a middle-aged man standing in front of a window, frowning while looking at the battle outside.
"Faaa, fuuu..."
Seeing the middle-aged man, the blonde girl’s eyes lit up. She wanted to call out to him, but because her mouth was sealed with the cloth, she could only make low noises. Just as she wanted to move toward him, Myne grabbed her hand, hit the back of her head expressionlessly, and pointed at her mother.
After getting hit, the blonde girl came to her senses and realized something was wrong. If her mother already knew her father was here, there was no need to go through so much trouble of sealing their mouths and making them invisible. Clearly, things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Nodding at Myne to signal her understanding, both of them slowly walked toward Finn, who was already comforting the middle-aged man.
"I told you to stay with Rosalind. Why did you come here?" The man asked angrily, tightly holding Finn’s arm.
"You promised us you’d be back in minutes, but you were missing for half an hour. What else did you expect us to do? Jekal, let me be frank. What’s going on in your mind, and what the hell are all of you doing here? Where the hell are you transferring all these resources? Do we have another shelter or what?" Finn forcefully broke free from her husband’s grip and asked with an unfriendly expression.
"Yes, and no. Just an hour ago, we set up this emergency random teleportation array and found that the other side was relatively safe. So, we were quickly moving as many resources as possible before those monsters break the defensive barrier. After all, who would have thought that the mysterious being who threw us all here actually labelled our attempt to capture those ants as cheating and increased the trial difficulty from F to B? This doesn’t make any f*cking sense," Jekal irritatedly cursed in a low voice, hammering his fist at the edge of the window hard.
"Otherwise, how could we fall to this point, where we have to run with our tails between our legs?"
Myne, who was listening to the husband and wife’s conversation, suddenly had an understanding look on his face. He finally understood why the attack on those people’s side was so fierce. It turned out that because of their oversmartness, their trial difficulty had increased to an impossible level.
"Then what about us? When are we able to go to that place?" Finn didn’t care about Jekal’s burning anger. Right now, she only cared about her and her daughter’s lives.
However, to her surprise, Jekal didn’t reply. Instead, he stared at her coldly with an expressionless face, but disdain and a bit of disgust were clearly visible in the depths of his eyes.
"Soon..." This was the only word he said before walking to other people who were maintaining the magic array, but secretly eavesdropping on their conversation with full of interest.
Finn, whose face turned ugly as if she found her husband f*kcing her housemaid right on top of their bed, gave Jekal an angry glare while gritting her teeth, looked at Myne and Rosalind, and walked toward the stairs in a hurry.
Both of them didn’t dare to stay with a bunch of creepy-looking old men who clearly weren’t good people without Finn’s protection, so they quickly followed her, while trying their best so no one noticed their presence.
"Rosy, quickly pick up your belongings. We’re escaping," Finn said coldly after they returned to the fourth floor.
"But... Mother, what about Father?" Although Rosalind knew that this question could earn her a good beating, her love for her father, who never stopped her from doing anything, still overcame her fear, and she couldn’t help but ask. Clearly, unlike Finn, she didn’t understand the hidden meaning behind her father’s last word.
"Haven’t you heard enough? There’s no place for us in his backup plan. He’s abandoned us, so instead of wasting time on fantasies that he’ll come to save you, you better follow me and hope that we somehow survive the next few days and get the hell out of this goddamned place," Finn, although burning with hatred inside, still maintained her cool before her daughter and an unwanted outsider, and replied in a heavy voice.
"How can this be..."
"Stop talking nonsense and move your ass. We don’t have time!" Finn interrupted her daughter’s childish nonsense and kicked her into her room.
"Ahm... Finn?" Myne, seeing that Finn had closed her eyes and was breathing heavily to calm herself, and surely didn’t want to be disturbed, hesitated for a few seconds and, in the end, couldn’t help but reluctantly break the silence.
"What!" Finn gave Myne a look as if she wanted to eat him alive, and asked irritedly.
"Well... I know a good place to hide. Although there are some monsters as well, compared to here, you can deal with them with a wave of your hand. And there are also some people to attract firepower, so you don’t have to worry much. As long as you hide well and don’t seek death by coming in front of them, you absolutely won’t have any problem finishing this trial mission."
