Chapter 287: Chapter 287. Forbidden Pleasures: A Twisted Discovery
"Myne! Are you sure this is the right way? You've been touching this wall like a pervert for the last 10 minutes, but this wall isn't showing any sign of opening as you said," Velvet complained with a bored look on her face, sitting on Myne's back.
"Ssss... Don't disturb me. I can feel it. I'm not far from unlocking it... Ahhh, here it is. Now you'll see how smart your future hubby is," Myne puffed out his chest and said proudly.
He pressed a block-shaped stone on the wall, and it went in a bit before the wall suddenly started shaking.
The chamber vibrated, a low hum resonating through the air. Then, with a flash and a groan, the wall before them split open, revealing a dark corridor painted in red colour.
Velvet's jaw dropped. "Holy moly," she breathed, "the wall just… disappeared? How did they make something so magical? This doesn't make any sense!" Velvet exclaimed, her eyes wide open as she stared at the newly formed entrance. She looked around to find the extra stone, but alas, there was nothing on the ground.
Clearly, whoever made this kind of wonderful entrance was a meticulous craftsman who wanted everything perfect.
"Stop your nonsense. You'll attract someone you shouldn't. Now we're going out. Stay as hidden as you can, got it?" Myne covered Velvet's mouth with his hand as he said that. Getting a nod from Velvet, Myne took out an oversized robe from his inventory and covered himself and Velvet in it.
"Can you see from it?" Myne, with the hood on his head, asked in a low voice as he made his way out of the chamber. The scent of ozone clinging to their nostrils. When the colours subsided, they found themselves in a dimly lit red corridor, shadows snaking along the damp walls.
"I can, but not very clearly. However, it shouldn't be a problem to assist you. By the way, there's something written above your head," Velvet whispered, craning her neck to peer into the gloom. Myne, who was looking left and right in the dark, gloomy corridor, paused suddenly. He quickly looked up and saw a signboard hanging in mid-air by what looked like a spider web with a symbol on it.
Myne squinted at the glowing symbol, his knuckles white against the rough fabric of his hood. "I think this word is written in the native demonic language," he muttered, frustration lacing his voice "but sadly, we don't have a dictionary to translate it. And even if I had one, I have no desire to learn this creepy language," He sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly.
He was about to start pondering which direction to go next when a thought popped up in his mind.
Thinking that he had nothing to lose by trying, Myne cast appraisal on the signboard.
[ A Random Signboard
Grade: Poor
Attribute: None
Description: A tattered wooden signboard on which '09' is written in the native demonic language. Nothing worth mentioning. ]
"Huh? This word means '09,' but what does this number refer to?" Myne said confusedly. Although he was happy that he could use his appraisal skill to translate this weird demonic language, he frowned, contemplating the information he had just obtained.
"Maybe it's the number of the room we were in?" Velvet poked her head out of the robe beside Myne's neck and commented.
The question echoed in the dimly lit corridor, the answer lost in the shadows. Myne pondered for a moment, his gaze settling on a room a few meters down the hall.
"I don't think so. Look around. There are many rooms, but only in front of this one is there a signboard. This doesn't seem right," Myne said, pushing Velvet's head back into the robe. He hurriedly walked toward a room a few meters away.
Clearly, the chamber in which Myne and Velvet were locked was a special case, as all the other rooms only had a simple 2-meter-tall metal door with a small glass window in the upper middle part to peek inside from outside, instead of a magical door lock system.
After looking left and right and confirming that no one was coming, Myne hurriedly peeked inside the room to see the interior and find if there was anything worth mentioning.
Inside the room was quite small, as if it were some kind of storage space, filled with around 50 large wooden boxes that looked suspicious. Unable to resist his deep curiosity and old habits, Myne quickly opened the door, entered, and, after ensuring no one else was in the room, lifted the lid of one of the wooden boxes.
In the wooden box lay two large 5-litre capacity glass bottles filled with dark green liquid.
[ Nutrient Solution
Grade: Low
Attribute: None
Description: A special nutrition solution created by an intelligent demon to support his slaves for an extended period without the need for too many resources. After soaking a hume in this liquid, they can survive for 1 week without necessary daily basic needs. Can be mixed with water. ]
This seems like the thing we had inside our pod, in which we were floating, but the quality seems lower than the one used on us, Myne pondered thoughtfully. While Velvet was still inside his robe, he quickly stashed all the boxes with the nutrient solution inside his inventory.
"Better to use on something effective rather than letting it rot here. Anyway, without those devices I stole, these solutions seem useless... If only I could find out how to make this thing, then I can use those pods without any worry. Currently, one box has two nutrient solution bottles, meaning I can experiment on 100 people. This doesn't seem sufficient.
Better to find more." Making up his mind, Myne hurriedly walked out of the room and went toward the next room.
Moan!
"Ahh, ahh, ahha, ahh, ahh..."
..."
In excitement, Myne was about to open the door of the next room after taking a brief peek. His hand stopped on the door handle as he heard a loud sound he was very familiar with, although no one had made this kind of sound because of him for months.
"Is this the sound of someone having fun?" Velvet, hearing the weird sound, poked her head out again and, after focusing a bit, asked with a red face. Although her face was pale as paper due to a lack of vitality, it looked no different.
The question hung heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the lewd noises emanating from beyond the door. Myne's hand tightened on the handle, a war between morbid curiosity and cautious instincts tugging at him, "Yep, and it seems the other party is enjoying a lot... Shall we take a look? It can be quite dangerous if they spot us?" He murmured his voice barely a whisper.
"Forget about it. Our utmost task is to find a way to get out of this place. Watching someone have sex is not going to benefit us anyway," Velvet replied without any hesitation. She wasn't particularly curious about witnessing someone else's intimate moments.
"Oh, yes, deeper, more deeper..."
he moans intensified, punctuated by muffled cries that sent shivers down Myne's spine... "Did you also hear the thing I heard?"
"Yep, and it doesn't sound like a girl's voice from any angle. Do you think both of them inside are?..."
"Let's take a look. This kind of unique thing doesn't always come into view," Before Velvet could protest, Myne cracked open the door a sliver, a cautious eye peeking through the gap. What unfolded before him was not the titillating scene he might have imagined, but a bizarre tableau that defied categorization.
"F*ck, if this thing gets known by desperate women unhappy with their sexual lives or girls dreaming about big things, it could surely become a dream lover for them. I might even think of giving it a try... Ouch! If I didn't have you... F*ck, next time let me finish before pinching me, otherwise, I will pinch you to death," Velvet angrily replied.
"Sorry, I thought you got hypnotized by that weird creature magic," Myne shamelessly apologized, his eyes glued Inside the room, locked in a twisted embrace, were two figures unlike any they had ever encountered.
One, a muscular humanoid with ram-like horns, black hair, red eyes, crimson skin, fang-like teeth, thin lips, and a harp hairless red tail, overall ugly as f*ck, writhed in apparent ecstasy, spurred on by the ministrations of his… companion
This "companion" was a creature of nightmares, a black abomination with a balloon-like head, 5 white eyes, eight prehensile limbs, and a writhing mass of tentacles where its lower body should be. The grotesque appendage currently occupying the humanoid's groin pulsed with an obscene luminescence, its movements eliciting guttural growls of pleasure from the crimson being.

"Ohh, finally, the appraisal is showing something useful. I can finally get back to old business. Only God knows how much I missed it," Myne thought emotionally while stealthily absorbing all the new skills and quickly checking how they worked. This level of exciting things is not something he can hold back and do later.

Humm, this can be used as the replacement for invisible or illusion skills if used correctly...

Finally, the skill I am looking for, exploring this weird place can be a little bit easier with this skill, Myne thought excitedly and quickly moved to the last skill.
