Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Hidden Mainline Trigger

Translator: 549690339

The bunker had entered the night, all surviving adventurers hid within their rooms.

As long as they made it through tonight, they’ll be able to leave this Alternate Dimension tomorrow.

However, what no one knew was that once the door locks had been closed, within room 4001 on the fourth floor ― a floor with a death rate exceeding ninety percent ― a team was secretly planning something.

In the room was a young man with a cold look and white complexion, accompanied by an old man in tailcoat.

The room was also filled with well-equipped Blackwater mercenaries.

The young man had been quietly waiting for a while in the secret room, anticipation occasionally flashing in his eyes.

Others only knew that this Abnormal Creature Shelter 407 was a treasure trove Alternate Dimension that produced rare materials and Demon Mark cards.

But he knew more.

In their Miller family heritage, there was a mention in a top-secret dossier from a thousand years ago that the Old Continent once had a mysterious “Research Facility 407” that concealed a shocking secret.

And he indeed found it.

The wilderness of the Sinless City was the legendary Old Continent, and those hunters had found this Alternate Dimension in the Demon Cross, bearing the same name as the one in the ancient dossier!

If the records were true, one of the “Fifty-two Demonic Origin Cards” might be stored here.

That is a top-tier Demon Mark spoken of in the epics.

One that no one has ever seen before.

If he truly found it…

This could cause his rise to fame, lead to a change in his Miller family, or even a shift in the structure of the entire continent.

The young man couldn’t conceal the anticipation in his heart.

At this moment, after the old man had set up a Hexagram Array, he turned around and respectfully said to the young man, “Young Master, everything’s ready.”

For extra precaution, the young man confirmed himself, “Has the condition to activate the ‘T-Level Disaster Source’ been met?”

The elderly man responded, “Yes, completely met. After spreading the news earlier, more than five hundred people have died in this Alternate Dimension. That’s more than enough for the soul sacrifice.”

Hearing this, a confident smile appeared at the corner of the young man’s mouth, “Then, let’s begin.”

…

Previously, the witch was in a dormant state, and the spiritual pollution was not too strong.

But now that the monster had awakened and was standing at the door, Leonard Churchill could clearly feel an increasingly intense spiritual temptation.

Looking once more, it seemed as though the thick iron door was twisted out of shape, and a transparent phantom slowly materialized.

Its skin was fairer than snow, standing proudly, with a sultry figure fully showcased.

Just moments ago, it was merely a corpse.

And now it had indeed come back to life.

Witnessing this bizarre and unimaginable scene, Leonard Churchill was curious about its wall-passing method, thinking: “Particle state wall passing? Or thought wall passing?”

Seeing the monster appear out of thin air and pass through the wall, he was certain the temporary teammate hiding in the barrier at the corner of the wall wasn’t lying to him.

The creature really was coming for him.

It could find him no matter where he hid.

From the information provided by the girl with the mechanical arm, normal people would fall into Mind Control upon seeing the Fallen Witch Sect and remain oblivious to the danger until they died.

That’s the tricky part of this B-level Catastrophe: Large-scale Group Mind Control.

But at this time, Leonard Churchill, still lying on the bed, had relatively clear thoughts.

The word ‘Mental erosion exemption’ continually emerged in his Enlightenment.

But as the creature approached, the word in the Enlightenment gradually morphed into: ‘Affected by spiritual pollution, chaos +1’

Leonard Churchill felt that him being able to persist until now was mostly due to his exceptionally strong mental power. If he were an average person, he would have already lost his mind.

The witch was getting closer, and that sense of temptation was increasingly strong.

This was a strange temptation ability that could create an effect on the body without completely seducing the consciousness.

Leonard Churchill felt his face flush, his vitality and blood churning.

Seeing that the monster seemed to enjoy this smell, it unreservedly floated to the side of his bed.

As if a demon wind blew by, despite the gas mask, the rosy fragrance was extremely pleasant and intoxicating. The tempting body was entirely exposed in the air, every detail clearly visible, continuously bombarding the visual senses. It was as if it was within reach, instantly escalating the temptation to the extreme.

“Hss…”

Leonard Churchill’s eyes were already slightly blurred, but he inwardly gasped in fear.

Even though logic told him that death was imminent, his body was honest. In this state of extreme mental pleasure, he gradually developed the thought that he would rather die in self-indulgence, with no desire to break the illusion.

This thought grew stronger and was on the verge of crushing all reason.

Such was the horror of the Fallen Witch.

He couldn’t even pull out his gun, let alone kill the monster.

Fortunately, he was not alone.

Leonard Churchill cast a sidelong glance at his composed teammate and breathed a sigh of relief.

She remained unaffected and undetected by the monster so far. Her strength is certainly greater than what it appeared to be.

All he needed to do was to serve as a proper bait and wait for the witch to transform into her feeding form.

…

Whether it was a hallucination caused by a charming technique stimulating hormone secretion, or a real fragrance, Leonard Churchill didn’t know. The monster was almost upon him, the exotic fragrance pervading his nostrils stirred his blood, he inhaled greedily, unable to control himself.

The scene, on the edge of indulgence, was imminent. Yet, a horror unfolded instead.

Leonard Churchill had always assumed that the monster absorbed life through mating.

It did not.

The stunningly naked body was merely a tool to make the food more palatable.

The witch beguiled her target and began to show her true form.

It was as if a monster was trying to burst out from her body, which, up until then, had set many a minds wandering. A chilling sound of muscle tearing came from within her body.

“Rip…”

“…”

Leonard looked on as the monster’s body split down the middle, starting at her waist and ripping right up to her neck.

Her chest and abdomen metamorphosed into a gaping maw, revealing hundreds of hellish sharp teeth. Deep within the pink undulating flesh, there was also a hair-raising, abominable, infantile face.

This was the true form of the witch!

“You have been exposed to curse pollution, physique -0.005”

“You have been exposed to curse pollution, physique -0.008”

“…”

Properties fell rapidly.

Leonard clearly felt his physical functions being drawn out by a mysterious force. He could even see his vitality and blood being extracted beneath his skin, coalescing into blood beads, and being swallowed by the monster’s gaping mouth.

The body, which he had barely managed to revitalize with potions, weakened again.

It seemed that the monster found the tasting appetizing.

At this moment, an even more terrifying scene unveiled.

A sharp proboscis gradually tip-toed out and stabbed towards Leonard Churchill’s lower abdomen.

Now!

Instantly, the girl with a mechanical arm hiding in the corner of the barrier, stirred.

She took a deep breath, raised her left arm, and lightning-quick, made a warlock sign. All of a sudden, a mysterious power surged out from her fingertips. In no time, the barrier beneath her feet emitted dazzling blue light, and an array of profound runes froze the surrounding air.

In the blink of an eye, she conjured an origin card with a chain pattern between her fingers, she whispered, “Earth’s Hundred Chains Barrier•Seal!

Barely had her words echoed, when every corner of the spacious room was filled with sparkling rune lights. Rune lock chains gushed out from all directions, binding the “Fallen Witch” on the spot.

Everything fell into place.

Smoothly.

The girl was visibly happy. “It worked!”

Leonard also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

The situation was going as smoothly as they had planned.

Now, as long as they stick to the plan, they will most likely be able to kill this monster.

…

But to no one’s expectation,

Just as the two of them were about to kill the witch according to the plan, an unexpected twist transpired.

Without any warning, the entire Alternate Dimension shuddered slightly.

It seemed as though some mysterious force had awakened, and Enlightenment appeared once again.

This was a reminder seen by all in the bunker.

“Explorers have triggered the hidden main line, the Alternate Dimension’s disaster level has risen: Unknown”

“Current exploration rate: 29.7%”

“A mysterious power has permeated the entire bunker, the catastrophes have mutated violently, the cabin doors have opened, they will actively hunt down all humans within the bunker. ‘Survival Mode’ has shifted to ‘Escape and Kill Mode’, if you want to survive, you need to find the correct exit of the bunker”

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill was confused: “???”

This is not what they planned for.
