Chapter 26
“Nothing strange in that area, just a small bunch of monsters”
“Same situation for me. I can't see any human being at all other than us”
“Isn't it time already to meet up? Why is Ethan not here?”
“Don't look at me, I have no idea at all”
“Shall we go check his situation?”
“We are not doing anything anyway. Let's go”
.
.
.
“What do you mean?”
“It is a strict order from the higher ups that any suspicious person that appear within this grounds will be forced to leave if they do not leave on their own”
What the hell is these people saying?
Is it their base? But… it was not an inconvenience for them if they let me be here even for just a small while.
Aren't they being so unreasonable by doing that,?
And suspicious? Me?— worn out clothes, full of dirt, blood stains all over, hair in mess, holding a sword that suddenly disappears, getting up in that part even while he was carrying an unconscious woman on his arms, being able to manipulate the rocks that no human being can do— I am just a simple guy who wants to survive. How the hell would they treat me as a suspicious person?
I really don't get them…
“There are monsters out there and you want me to go risk my life when I am just here not doing any harm to you all… and why am I a suspicious person”
Taking a small step forward, their feet created a sound as if they are threatening me.
Is this really how I would be treated after I met other people?
They are all grown ups yet they are acting like shits?
Not wanting to remember it but, with this situation happening, I can't help but be reminded of the times where they all have their ways making me feel cornered and all..
After so many years, who would have thought that it would still be possible to happen.
“It was a direct order to the higher ups. We are just doing our job so please leave. We don't want any trouble”
'Having you in our team will just complicate things. You should go elsewhere. We don't need you'
'Sorry Ethan but… we also want to win. Please reconsider joining in other team'
'That is if there are group of people wanting you to be with them'
'Hey, isn't it hurtful enough to be declined so many times? Don't make him feel more bad'
People always want the best for them. Not bonding what other people would feel. Even before, no one even cared about this nobody. No one even want to give me a hand to help.
Feeling bad, I lower my sight hiding my eyes from them. I don't want to see their faces. It makes me feel worst knowing that they are human with a monsters attitude.
There is no use of asking for their help. It is not as if they would be willing to give me any of help.
Hah, this is why I hate socializing with other people. They are just a nuisance.
“Alright… if that is what you want”
They didn't even bother lowering those weapons that they are holding. I wouldn't be surprised if they really did shoot us right in an instant
Higher ups huh… what kind of people are they? Bet… they are just a bunch of bad persons.
Looking at the woman that was with me, she shows a movement. Maybe she needed energy to get up.
“Wai”
I mumbled and but a recovery potion. Everyone that was in front of us started to step back in surprise. Maybe they are not like me. It seems like, not all people can see the game options.
So there are only chosen people who can have abilities at this moment huh. That do makes sense. After all, isn't it the same thing with the woman we met—
Not wanting to remember the fate she faced, the woman coughed right after she finished taking the recovery potion.
“We advise you to get out immediately or we will have no choice but to shoot you killed”
“Yeah yeah, didn't I agree with that already?”
Annoyingly looking at them, there was a strange notification showing. It seems like there are new event. Hah, I am running out of harto anyway. Might as well get the rewards for this thing
Jumping down the building, I almost forgot how high it was, luckily, the stones that I used to step into caught me mid air. It makes me look like I am floating.
Objects can be easily manipulated if you know the trick of it. It wasn't a waste that I bought this skill. Together with the features of it making objects defy the gravity, it would just be difficult depending on how big the thing you want to control is.
“D-did you see that?? He is really a monster!“
I heard some voices speaking those words. Be they are the resident of this building. How… annoying
Remembering the time, I almost forgot how we are supposed to meet in that place. The ruined spots makes it hard to figure out where that place was. But…
I can see some people coming to this direction. Trying to avoid the albino zombie that we— I faced just a while ago, he really seems to be an intelligent monster but due to the height of where I was—
Swish
There, I was surprised when someone shoot a gun to my direction. If not for me moving and making a peek below, surely it would have hit me on my head.
”Those people… they really don't know where to stop. I wonder if it was their higher ups who stated that thing. Aren't they being so scared of me since I have powers?“
Not knowing, I was now glaring at them trying to make a frightening look. I really don't know what they wanted but they are doing something ridiculous.
They are out of they way. It is too much already.
”They chase you out?“
”yeah, those fools— ah wait, you are awake“
Trying to put her down, I just realized that there is not enough space for her to stand.
”You feel tired?“
”I am tired of my life, yes. But my body seems to be much better as if I had a good sleep. There is also a strange taste in my mouth. What was that thing you fed to me?“
Ah, so she realized it.
”Recovery potion. That was precious so be grateful“
”I thank you for your kindness but.. Can you bring me back to where you saw me?“
”Why? There is a monster there“
”I will pay your kindness one day. So please, bring me back to those kids“
Her eyes seems to be certain in what she wanted. It would be no good if I would not let her do what she wanted. After all, it seems like there is no way she would change her mind.
”Alright…“
