Curse The Mainframe - Chapter 441

The group of four plus familiars reached the end, and some of them were more puzzled than the rest.

After all, they had not encountered a single trap along the way, which made no sense logically speaking. There was a faint suspicion in their heart. The traps were already all activated, and they didn’t face a single moment of danger.

There were two confused people, one with a standardized smile that gave good feelings, and finally, Ye Sha, who silently cursed a Main Character’s good luck inside his heart.

This had to be a case of taking advantage of someone! He didn’t believe that it was all ‘luck’. Well, it was indeed luck, but this was directly plundering someone else’s ‘luck’ instead!

There was probably some poor soul in front who silently and valiantly took care of all the dangers along the way, only for Alec and the rest of them to benefit in the end.

Ye Sha silently lit a candle for the other person in his heart. Poor soul.

They reached the end, to find a slightly more spacious cavern. It was barren and empty, different from the fancy designs along the way.

With a rumble, the passage from before closed, which caused them to turn around to look at it.

Alec tested the integrity of the wall, but it didn’t give way at all. The only way out should be located in the mostly empty cavern.

There was a single corpse in the middle of the room, seemingly surrounded by nothing but what he was wearing on his body.

Alec looked more closely when he saw a spark of golden light. Obviously, there were runes around the corpse, which meant that they should not touch the corpse at all before he managed to figure out what it was.

Whatever array there would only spark to life upon contact of life on the dead body. One didn’t need to think too hard to know that there should be nefarious intentions behind it.

“Don’t touch the corpse.”

The group looked around the place, each of them stepping carefully.

Katherine and Le Xuan seemed even more confused in this place. They thought that there was someone up ahead, but upon reaching the end, there was no one in the end.

Could it be that all the traps were triggered upon the owner’s death, thus posing no harm to them?

How could it be?

They didn’t believe that someone who had the time to make all those ingenious traps would fall into such a pit.

Therefore, there had to be someone here. Or was there some other path that would lead them somewhere else?

Unlike the other three who were walking around trying to find something, Alec stood in front of a blank piece of wall.

The only thing that was different was the faintest indentation in the side of the wall.

The others couldn’t hear anything, but to Alec, he could hear the faint sounds of anger and extremely angry curses from the bottom.

Just as he was thinking about if he should allow them out, the floor suddenly moved, and out popped a mature woman who had fiercely angry eyes. She was faintly covered in dust, and there were little tears on her clothes.

She looked both annoyed and miserable.

She was stunned when she saw the lot of them, just as they were stunned to see her.

After all, there was now a live, breathing person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere from a hole that suddenly appeared in the ground.

“Who are you?” Chantelle demanded with shock, then she changed her tone just as quickly. “You must have come in after me!”

Chantelle stood up and brushed herself off, her eyes filled with hostility. “How long have you been following me? Days? Months? How f.u.c.k.i.n.g sly! How did you get past my blockade at the entrance?”

She started launching accusations at them without giving them any chance to react. She was talking to both them and she herself as her mind worked quickly.

The more Chantelle spoke, the angrier she got. After all, people were benefiting from her hard work, so how could she feel good?

She continued to speak angrily. “Well? How does it feel to be riding on my coattails?”

Le Xuan was staring at her blankly. Lady, we don’t even know who you are, not to mention following you around? For months? Are you delusional? Who would spend that long to follow someone around?

Katherine didn’t just stare blankly. She snorted and lifted her chin. “Are you delusional? Are you crazy? Who has time to follow you around? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy to be followed around by me? We’re not crazy. Why should we follow a little no-name woman?”

Le Xuan silently cheered from the side.

Chantelle was pricked in the heart, and her face grew red – whether it was from embarrassment or from anger, no one knew.

She gave a sarcastic laugh as her eyes swept over the lot of them.

Chantelle saw that the group were all handsome and beautiful, but how could they have such a bad heart? She was unreconciled.

She was incredibly angry. How could these people force their way in?

The woman was even angrier when she saw the gentle smile on Alec’s face. Fake. This was all fake! How could they take advantage of an innocent woman like this?!

How could there be a good person who wanted to snatch her things?

Not only had she been dropped under there, where it was full of dust and other disgusting stuff, she returned only to find people who had been following her all along.

She almost outright attacked them but held back when she thought to herself that there were more of them than her single person.

In particular, the smiling one seemed quite powerful. It was better not to cause them to try and kill her. If she didn’t compromise, she would have worked hard for nothing at all.

Chantelle bit her lip, and her tone suddenly changed. “If you want the treasures in here, fine, but I get to have first pick.”

Katherine was stunned by Chantelle’s nice tone – it was completely different from the angry tone earlier. “What tricks are you up to?” she said, eyeing her distrustfully.

Chantelle lowered her stance. “I’m not up to anything. I just want to have the first pick.”

Ye Sha finally spoke up. “Are you done? We fell in from a hole in the ground,” he said, his tone and expression lazy. Even at this time, he was still eating something.

Katherine eyed him with resentment.

Chantelle’s brows furrowed, then she understood, and her face was red. Turned out that she had wrongfully accused these people… but so what?! In the end, she still had to share!

Her heart was bleeding.

Alec suddenly spoke up, having ignored them before this.

“The other array is active now,” he said, drawing their attention.

Chantelle frowned. “What? I already disabled all the arrays.”

Alec gave her a brief glance, then looked away, continuing to look about the room.

Chantelle puffed up in anger, and Le Xuan placated the crazy – ahem – she placated the woman. “Don’t worry. Alec has rune sight, so what he says definitely cannot be wrong.”

The grave robber fell silent at her words. If what she said was true, then… could it be that they were trapped in here? She had already long noticed that the previous entrance was gone.

She frowned and turned her attention towards the corpse in the middle.

Perhaps the Grand Meister would have some clues for them.

She reached forward to touch the corpse.

“Stop!”
