Evolution to GOD

Chapter 121: Mysterious Mountains

“What are you doing?” Tanya’s voice jolted me out of my daze. My gaze shifted to her, who was standing at a distance with a smile on her face.

I could tell she was having a good time, which made me feel better as well. I shook my head and approached her. “You wanted to take me to the mountains?” I asked quickly after getting closer to her.

“Yes, it is one of the most famous places in the world,” she said as she turned to face me.

“Oh,” I mumbled, scanning the crowded area where everyone was rushing to get out of the airport.

“So we’re going to stay in this city? Or are there any hotels in the mountains?” I asked as I strolled towards the exit.

“I’ve already prepared everything; just follow me,” she said, her gaze fixed on the exit.

I nodded as I walked behind her, my gaze fixed on her, while my ears picked up the sound of the crowd. 

To be honest, this airport was much larger and more crowded, and the most interesting aspect was that the crowd was a diverse mix of many species. I could see a wide range of faces that I had never seen before.

In the midst of many thoughts, I failed to notice that I had exited the airport. Suddenly, I realized that someone was shaking my arm.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that Tanya was the one who grabbed my arm. Nonetheless, my eyes scanned the area, spotting a car of the forces at a distance. Seeing Tanya, I asked, “Did that car come for us?” 

“Yes,” she said as she walked to the car, and I followed. And, as usual, I was the center of attention. Nobody has ever seen such a handsome man as me. Even the soldier from the forces was taken aback when he saw me.

As we approached the car, that man saluted Tanya and opened the door, taking a quick glance at me before walking away.

I’m not sure, but I noticed that he was looking at me strangely as if I had committed some serious crime. Isn’t he aware that I, too, am a member of the forces and will be his superior in the future?

But, in any case, I followed Tanya and sat beside her. My gaze was drawn to the soldier in the rearview mirror, who was occasionally looking at me.

“Does he have a problem with me?” I whispered to Tanya, who was looking out the window, while my gaze was fixed on him.

She turned around to look at me, then her gaze shifted to the driver, and she returned her gaze to me. “Don’t worry about anything. Several of the men in the forces were attracted to me. He could be one of them.”

I was taken aback when I heard her words, but I nodded as my gaze shifted to the window. I could see many high-rise buildings, large holographic advertisement banners, and a road full of cars and people as we approached our destination.

But as the car approached the outskirts, I realized that we were leaving the city. I also noticed that many cars were taking the same route as if they were also heading to the mountains. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the visible mountain peak.

Tanya’s eyes were also fixed on the mountains, and she had an ecstatic expression on her face as I turned around. She appeared to be a small girl visiting her favorite place.

“You really seem happy,” I said, my gaze fixed on her. Tanya’s body shook as he turned to look at me. 

Even though she was astounded by my voice, her face was bright and cheerful. “What happened?” She asked, her brow furrowed.

I shook my head and said, “You appear to be very excited about visiting this location. Have you ever been here before?”

“No, this is my first visit to this location. But I’ve heard a lot about it, and it’s all very mysterious to me.” She said this with her gaze fixed on me.

“What is mysterious?” 

“That’s a mystery,” she said with a smile. My eyes widened shortly, but a sigh escaped my lips as I slumped to the seat, my gaze drawn back to the window, where I could see the mountain peaks.

I’m not sure why, but I had a feeling I’d seen those mountains somewhere before, and I’ve been to this location before. But then my heart raced as I thought of a possibility. My pupils constricted as I stared at the approaching mountains.

“Why are you staring at the mountains like that?” Tanya’s voice startled me this time. My body shook as I sat up straight, looked at her, and said,

“Don’t give me a shock. What if something happened to my heart?” I expressed my displeasure as I took a quick glance at the driver, but this time his gaze was fixed on the mountainous road.

“Don’t act like a scared woman; if you were this coward, you wouldn’t have evolved and wouldn’t be a prospective candidate in the forces,” she said, her lips forming a slight smile as she glared at me.

I was stunned when I heard her. My eyes averted since I could not react to her argument.

But then I noticed a smile spread across her face as she said, “Don’t overthink it.” I was only joking. But I was attracted when I noticed you unusually staring at the mountain as if you’d been here before.

“That is not the case. Actually, I had a distinct impression that I had previously visited these mountains, but I’m not sure why” I was serious, I said. In any case, telling her this would not make her suspicious of me.

When she heard me, her face became solemn, and she asked, “Are you serious?”

I’m not sure why she became so serious, but I nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Thanks for informing me. You have no idea how many people have felt the same way in the past.” She paused for a moment and then said “Hmm, I would tell you later,” 

“What?” I asked. I was really curious to know what she wanted to say.

“Don’t overthink it.” I’ll tell you later,” she said with a smile as her gaze shifted to the windows and mumbled, “We’re almost there, I think.” She then turned to look at me.

“You know, this place is well-known for its tranquil atmosphere,” she explained as she gazed out the window at the mountainous road.

My gaze was drawn to the mountainous road as well. Instead of happiness, my heart was filled with dread. I’m not sure why I have this uneasy feeling that something bad will happen in the future.

I shook my head to clear my mind and turned to look at Tanya’s happy face, which was gazing at the mountains. Maybe I’m overthinking things, or maybe all my worries and memories are making me overly sensitive.

As the car approached the destination, I sighed and leaned to the side, my gaze fixed on the passing trees and shrubs on the road. Whatever happens will happen, but I’m also curious about the mountains. What is it that is so mysterious about it?

It had been almost an hour when the car came to a halt in front of a large building built near the cliff. I noticed that some of the soldiers were also stationed around the building.

And, as one would expect from Tanya, she reserved this property, which was also owned by the forces.

As soon as I stepped out of the car, a cool and refreshing breeze greeted me, and my gaze was drawn to the scenic view of the mountains, which were covered in the Green Forest, with some of the peaks obscured by cloud. I also noticed that some of the clouds were drifting close to me.

But when I saw this view, I was lost; it was as if something was calling out to me as if this place was welcoming me.

I’m not sure why I thought I’d returned to this location after millions of years, but nothing had changed. Those peaks and clouds are reaching out their arms, inviting me to visit them.

Unconsciously, my legs moved towards those mountains, but then I felt someone grab my hand. My mind cleared as my heart pounded faster, and I quickly turned to look at Tanya, who was grabbing my arm and staring at me intently.

“Don’t get lost, whatever you’re doing. I told you these mountains are mysterious, and there’s a reason for that. Many people have died as a result of falling off the cliff. They, like you, were lost in their thoughts as they walked to their deaths.”

My eyes narrowed as I turned my head to look at those mountains. I’m not sure if what she said was true. But it’s a little different for me. I was certain that nothing bad would have happened to me because this mountain would not allow anything bad to happen to me.
