Evolution to GOD

Chapter 130: Going out to the mountains (VII)

“Come here. I am waiting for you for a long time.” Suddenly, a voice reverberated in my ears.

My heartbeat sped up as I stood up immediately as my gaze turned to look at mountains again.

But I was broken out of my reverie when I felt someone shake my hand; my body trembled as I turned to face Deliah, who was looking at me with concerned eyes.

“What happened to you again?” Her voice reached my ears, and my eyes stared at her, but my mind could process nothing.

Deliah shook me again. “What happened?”

I exhaled a mouthful of air and shook my head as I slumped onto the platform again. I looked at her and took a heavy breath, “Don’t worry, I think it was again some issue with my power,”

I realized that I was sweating profusely, with all of my clothes stuck to my body. My gaze again shifted unconsciously to the mountains, then to Deliah,

“Could you tell me one thing?”

Her brows furrowed as her eyes were fixed on me while her hands were crossed on her chest. She nodded, “Yes,”

“Tanya told that many people died in these mountains and fell off the cliff because of some reason. What was the reason?” I asked. My heart was still beating faster. I don’t know whether that voice was speaking to me or not.

She looked at me for a moment before replying, “There were cases when people seemed to be hypnotized by the mountains, and some of them even jumped to death. We still don’t know the reason, but those people said they were attracted towards the mountains and wanted to reach there anyhow,”

“Oh!” I nodded and looked towards the mountain again. Was I the only one who heard that voice? But Deliah’s voice reached my ears again.

“I think you should take some rest. My home is nearby, you could stay there tonight,”

My gaze turned towards her, but I shook my head and said, “Thank you. But I would go back to the hotel. I don’t want to disturb you,”

But she said sternly, “No, I can’t send you out there alone. This is the second time within an hour you were dazed off and started sweating. It’s better to take a rest and go back tomorrow,”

When I saw her big eyes, a laugh escaped my mouth. “You don’t have to worry about it. Thanks for the offer, but I would go back. Anyway, I wanted to have some time alone.”

She fell silent for a moment and eyes were fixed on me for some time as she said, “Fine, but remember not to go near the mountains. Somehow, I am having a bad feeling about all this,”

I shook my head and stood up, “Anyway, I would walk you home.”

My eyes were drawn to the owner of the restaurant, “And for him, I think I would meet him tomorrow,”

Deliah’s gaze was also drawn towards the Owner, “Yes, I would also like to see the reason you wanted to see him,”

After settling the bill, we both started walking towards her home. But she turned her head to look towards me and said, “I think it’s better to stay overnight at my place,”

I was scanning the neighborhood when I heard her voice. For a split second, I was bewildered before turning to face her. My brows wrinkled, and a smirk formed on my face. “Oh! Do you want to pounce on me? If it is, I will unquestionably stay there.”

Suddenly, her face flushed when she heard my voice, and her eyes diverted. “I was just saying for your good. If you don’t want to, go back. I am not stopping you,”

When I heard her words, a small laugh escaped my lips. “Look how flustered you are. And here I thought you were really going to pounce on me. Hah, bad luck. Anyway, I just don’t want to disturb you. I should go back to the hotel,”

Her face turned as her big eyes stared at me. “Don’t you joke like that? I told you before If I want to pounce on you. It would be a surprise attack. Why should I declare and pounce?” and as soon as she finished speaking, a small smile formed on her face.

I shook my head when I saw that smile, and again my eyes were drawn to the neighborhood. It was so silent that I could even hear the sound of the breeze. Even though the street and the wooden houses were lit. I couldn’t even spot a soul out here.

To be honest, I felt it really bizarre, and I turned to look at Deliah, who was also gazing at those houses.

I coughed slightly and said, “Why is there that I couldn’t spot anyone outside. It’s so silent here?”

Her body quivered slightly, and she looked at me and heaved a sigh, “You scared me for a second.”

My brows furrowed as I smirked. “You really worked for forces, right? How could you get scared because of a voice?”

Her brows were wrinkled. “In forces, you are always attentive and I was not. But anyway, there are rumors here that if someone goes out in the night, they would be dying by jumping off the cliffs.”

My brows were arched when I heard her. “Really? Does that happen?”

She nodded her head slightly and said, “See, many of these people were non-power users. And their mentality is not as strong as us Power Users. That is the reason they get absorbed in the mysteriousness of the mountain and jump off the cliff,”

I was surprised for a moment, “Does that really happen. But shouldn’t it happen for the day also?”

But she shook her head, “Not really, we have observed, and it really is the case. The mountains became more mysterious at the night,”

“Oh!” I nodded as my gaze wandered to the silent, lonely street.

“You are not scared, right?” I smiled and looked at her.

She shook her head, “Not really. I have seen much worse situations when I was stationed at one of the planets, so it doesn’t affect me much. All you require is good mental strength and it would be fine,”

She smiled and looked at me, but suddenly her gaze shifted to one of the houses and she looked at me, “We have arrived,”

My gaze shifted to one of the wooden houses. It just looked like any normal house on earth. A door and two windows were visible to me, while the house was surrounded by a wooden fence.

She turned to look at me. “Are you sure you don’t want to come inside? Don’t be scared, I will not pounce on you,”

My eyes shifted to hers. “If you pounce on me, I would really be happy, but” a sigh escaped my lips. Suddenly, I felt a small and soft hand pounding on my arms.

My eyes were fixed on Deliah. “But anyway, I should really be going back. To be honest, didn’t you say that you wanted to live amid the sound of the crowd? But here it is still silent, right?”

Her brows furrowed as she looked at me, “It’s like this only in the night,”

I was astounded for a moment before a smile formed on my face. “Fine. Anyway, thanks for accompanying me. I should be going now.”

She looked at me for a moment. “Be careful. To be honest, I have a slight unease feeling but anyway take care and go carefully and don’t think too much about the mountains,”

I nodded, “Don’t worry, I would be fine,”

She nodded as our gazes were locked on to each other for a while before she turned around to make her way towards her house.

My eyes were fixed on her perfect figure for a moment before I turned around to leave. To be honest, her offer of staying at her place was good, but for some reason, I felt that I should go back.

From the moment when I heard that voice, I have a feeling that something is going to happen and I wanted to see what is it. To be honest, I really wanted to see that mountain closely. It may be a foolish decision for anybody, but I am sure that I would be fine.

A sigh escaped my lips as I turned around and my eyes were fixed on the mountain peaks. Suddenly, a distinct feeling welled up in me when I found myself to be standing alone in the middle of the lonely and silent street.

My eyes were drawn to the mountains as my legs made their way towards it. I don’t know why, but the sudden calling from those mountains increased more when I am alone. I don’t know how much time had passed but suddenly my senses came back, but my heart started pounding when I saw the place I was standing.

I gulped my saliva, as a creepy sound of the breeze entered my ears while my eyes stared at the endless chasm of the cliff.
