Cheat Awakening-Chapter 677 - . Broken Trust

{ She is fully aware of your presence and is wondering how she should eat you. }

{ She is contemplating which method of killing you would bring her the greatest pleasure: chopping you into pieces, or first boiling you in lava-like hot blood, watching you suffer, and then slowly cutting you into pieces and eating you before your very eyes. }

{ They are sleeping... }

"Oh, my, my, look who has come to visit this lonely woman, our dear playboy."

Just as Myne was reading the decidedly unfriendly thoughts of this new version of the woman in red, who had now transformed herself into the woman in black, she suddenly turned her head towards him. She spoke with a playful smile that made Myne's hair stand on end in fright, and he nearly slammed the door in her face.

"Hey! Good morning," Myne responded with a dry laugh, but then, finding he had nothing else to say, he observed her seductive clothing, gulping down his saliva as his "little brother" stirred, thanks to his peculiar taste in women. To avoid being labelled a pervert and receiving a severe beating, he continued,

"You are looking very beautiful in that dress, especially with that cool lipstick."

"You think so too? As expected, only that idiot would call my bold, modern fashion sense 'perverted and vulgar.' She has no taste at all... By the way, why are you hiding behind the door? Come in, take a seat. I was preparing breakfast; Why don't you join me? I'd love the company."

Seeing that the topic was veering off track, the woman in black gave Myne a knowing look, understanding that he was flirting to save his ass, and asked him to come into the kitchen.

Myne's gaze locked onto the super sharp knife in her hand, the unnerving smile on her lips, and the enormous pot on the stove, its lid slightly ajar as steam curled ominously from within. God only knows what's boiling in there. Truthfully, he had zero desire to sit down for a meal where he might be part of the main menu. But with no escape, he swallowed hard, forced a bitter smile, and stepped inside.

Kicking aside unrecognizable monster parts floating in a pool of blood on the floor, Myne took a seat on the grimy chair, mentally cursing the fact that he'd have to change clothes again.

{ She couldn't decide to kill you because of your weird love-hate relationship with her other personality. }

{ She feared that killing you would wake her other personality prematurely, and she didn't want to return to her room without playing enough. }

{ They are slee... SOMETHING IS STARING AT YOU! }

"F*ck!"

As Myne was casually reading the woman in black's deadly thoughts, as usual, suddenly, when he read the third one, which he assumed related to her other personality, the golden message bar glitched slightly. The next moment, the golden bar turned dark, and bloody red words appeared on it, catching Myne off guard.

THUD!

"Did you just curse me?"

Before Myne could figure out the reason behind the abnormality with his ability, how it had suddenly turned into a creepy warning, a deafening thud echoed through the kitchen. The Woman in Black loomed over him, her knife buried deep in the wooden table, her eyes gleaming with cold fury.

"No, no, no, absolutely not. How could I possibly curse you for no reason? Maybe I'm having a hallucination or something, but I think I saw a weird, creepy, shadowy figure on top of you. It startled me."

Myne, having mastered the art of lying, spun the lie effortlessly. Otherwise, if people discovered that he could read their dark and seedy inner thoughts and that no secrets were hidden from him, he would definitely become public enemy number one.

"A shadowy figure?" The Woman in Black narrowed her eyes. "I didn't notice anything." Suspicion laced her voice, but after a brief pause, she dismissed the topic with a shrug. "Whatever. Forget that. Tell me—how was your night? Did you enjoy yourself?"

Here we go, The thing Myne feared had finally happened, and now he wished he could teleport away to avoid answering her.

But his wishful thinking was met with the woman in black's eager eyes, wanting to know about his private life, and he could only nod with a helpless sigh.

"Why are you behaving like a pussy? We are friends; you don't have to be so shy. Come on, tell me the details. I'm not going to eat you if you talk about it," The woman in black grinned in a friendly manner.

"I doubt that," Myne muttered in a low voice, looking at her inner thoughts, every one of which mentioned killing him and eating him. It was really hard for him to believe her words.

"It was good..."

"Just good? I heard you've literally become a beast."

Maybe it was because he was too nervous or irritated by how she was toying with him despite knowing everything, but he finally exploded and decided not to care about the outcome anymore. If she wanted him to treat her like a friend, then so be it.

"It was crazy, all right. I haven't had such a great time in days. Even now, I'm hoping to return to my room immediately and 'bang' her a few more rounds."

"It was natural. I was under a lot of pressure. It's not easy for me to accept being trapped in this weird, creepy world without my powers or any way to return home. I'm scared out of my mind. So, when that lady became my slave—offering everything to me in exchange for protection—I couldn't control myself and got physical with her."

"It was purely out of need, and there were no emotional attachments. So, for God's sake, stop behaving like a child. We're all adults. If you have anything to say, say it directly."

"Also, I don't understand why you're so angry about me sleeping with another woman in the first place. We barely had one date and broke up before we could plan a second..."

"Hold on, angry young man. So, it's also her fault that you guys broke up? Who would stay with you if you treated her like a tool right after your first date and threw her into a deadly battle?"

The woman in black interrupted Myne's inner monologue, exclaiming angrily while slapping the table hard. If not for the numerous useful items on it, she would have flipped it.

"Deadly battle my ass. Whose idiots were so weak that I'm still regretting overestimating them. Who would have thought that Ted alone was enough to beat the shit out of all of them? If I had known earlier, I would never have treated her like a backup plan. I did that because I knew you guys were powerful enough to save my ass if things got out of hand. Otherwise, I would never have dragged her into the muddy water in the first place."

"How do you know about our secret?"

Just as Myne thought he and the woman in black would continue bickering like a couple and resolve the matter by rolling in the bed if his luck didn't abandon him and he didn't get beaten—she suddenly appear beside him, holding her knife tightly, and asked coldly.

"Secret? What secret?" Myne asked confusedly, genuinely not understanding what she was talking about, while subconsciously moving his chair away from her.

"Why are you calling me 'her' or 'you guys'? When did you find out?" The woman in black moved closer to Myne again, this time grabbing his chair, preventing him from escaping.

"Isn't it obvious? From the moment I met her, she always said things as if she had someone to take care of, or feared that something or someone would emerge out of thin air. At first, I was confused about who she was talking about."

"But the more we interacted, the more suspicious I became. Everything became clear when I saw you today. No matter how a person Is hurt, there is no way he can change his living habit, and turn into a completely new version of herself."

"Also you outright admitted you weren't the 'woman in red' by saying that 'idiot has no taste in clothing'."

"Oh, I see. So that's how it is. Quite clever, I must say." The woman in black nodded with an understanding look, and the smile returned to her face. She let go of Myne's chair, rubbed his hair playfully, and returned to the other side of the table, continuing to prepare breakfast.

Seeing that the woman in black was in a good mood, Myne hurriedly asked the question that was bothering him.

"By the way, how many personalities do you guys have? if you don't mind… can you tell me how this happened?"
