Regressing Through the Apocalypse with the Third Male Lead-Chapter 38: Volume 2.

"Ate Freyah, where are we going?" Paula asked.

"We are going to my favorite spot." Freyah smiled. They went outside the village. Then proceeded to further deep in the forest.

Paula was caressing the knife that was hidden behind her cloth. Anytime at the moment, she wanted to pull the knife.

"Kill her."

"No, not now." She answered to the voice inside her mind.

Then Freyah went to swept away the hanging branches of a Balete tree. Then for a moment, Paula was struck by the scene that came in front of her.

"What is this?" Paula asked seeing the unbelievable scenery in front of her.

In front of her was a glowing small lake. There were swans and fishes swimming around. Then some dogs were even playing. And the birds, they were flying high above the skies. There were also wild animals such as the coyotes and even a wild tiger drinking in the lake.

They were all coexisting together.

"We call these sceneries the Garden Of Eden." Freyah said. She walked ahead, and then as she stepped into the scenery, she passed through it.

It got distorted for a minute then went back to it’s normal scenery of the animals coexisting together.

"Garden of Eden?" Paula looked confused. She also placed her hand forward. Then the scenery she touched got distorted. Then when she removed her hand, everything went back to normal.

"Since the apocalypse, have you notice any animals at all?" Freyah asked.

Paula pondered for a moment. Yes. She had also noticed this already. Since the apocalypse, there were not sights of animals, birds, stray animals down to rats.

"This is all we believe that they had

been gathered into. There are many places like this appearing to most of the places. It is like all the animals were put into this place and they are coexisting peacefully together. That is why sooner or later we will lose all meat and we will be needing to rely on plants." Freyah explained.

"Why are you showing me this?" Paula asked. "I just arrive here in the camp. "

"Why do you want to kill me?"

Paula’s eyes widened at Freyah’s question. Then she forced a smile. "What are you saying, Ate Freyah." She turned around. "I’ll return back at the camp."

"You are not someone I met before. This is the first time we met, correct?" Paula stopped on her tracks.

"You’re correct, Ate Freyah." Paula smiled.

{Name: Paula Gonzales

Title: Grade 9 High school. Basic Programmer

Skills:

Psychic Skill: Technical Detection

Physical Skill: Locked.

Soul Skill: Locked}

"Paula Gonzales. Grade 9 high school student. And you have the ability called Technical Detection."

Paula’s eyes widened. "How did you know that?" She held the knife behind her back tightly.

"It’s one of my skills. I can see through you Paula." Freyah said. Her gaze was still fixated at the mirage in front of her. "And you can’t kill me by the knife you are hiding in your back. You’re too weak." Though most of it was something that Freyah knew by checking her status screen and the killing intent.

Paula gritted her teeth. Then her eyes became cold and death. She revealed the knife she was hiding behind her.

’So she indeed wanted to kill me. Freyah didn’t even knew how this young’s girl skill work yet.’

Then Paula laughed out. "Why are you still not dead? You should have died back at Manila."

Freyah’s eyes squinted. Back at Manila? Freyah let out a sigh inside her. Then in an instant, she appeared in front of Paula. Then hit the back of her head.

Well that was something she partially expected. Half of it was she was expecting that she was connected in the culprits in Manila. The other half was someone else, a regressor like her was trying to kill her.

If they were able to read the one they posted. The enemies of her past life would come and get her.

But... They would not know where she was exactly.

Those people who became her enemies on the past life were all just broken people due to the circumstances. If they were going to regress like her, they would be prioritizing saving the lives of the people they lost. And surviving the apocalypse with the knowledge of the future they carried with them.

It would be stupid of them to come and proceeded to kill her instead. They should be smart enough of what she could do to them. Or maybe, Freyah felt that she was being overconfident by this.

Paula immediately lose her consciousness then she caught her swiftly in her arms. Then Freyah picked up the rope inside the bag she brought with her then tied Paula.

Freyah just took a seat at the nearest stone and looked at the mirage in front of her. She closed her eyes and massaged her throbbing head.

As she closed her eyes. Reindeers eating the grasses. Birds chirping around. Butterflies flying around and flower fields. Sometimes it depended on the habitat of these animals.

But one thing was common on these mirages of the Garden of Eden. It was full of life. So much different from the life that Freyah experienced with full of horrible monsters.

"Do you think humanity is being punished?"

’Then why in the world did I regress’ Freyah sighed as the memory ran through her mind.

Moments later...

Paula slowly opened her eyes.

Kill her.

Kill Freyah Lima.

She will destroy the world.

Kill her.

The voice was pounding hard on her head. She woke up. Her heart was beating hard. Her head was like being hammered numerous times.

"Ah!!!"

She yelled out. But as she tried to touch her head, her hands were tied and even her feet. She fell on the grasses and squirmed in pain.

"Please... Help me... It hurts...."

She looked up and saw Freyah there. But she was not looking at her. Freyah’s gaze was fixated in front.

"Please help me. I don’t really want to kill you. Ate Freyah, please..." Her eyes were in the verge of tears.

"Are you the one who send all those men back at me in Manila?" Freyah asked. Her voice was as cold as ice.

"Yes. I’m the one who told them to kill you." Paula said.

"How did you find me?"

"That is my skill. Whenever you access your cellphone, I’ll be able to get all the information from your social medias, access the messages you sent and even know the conversations of the calls you make. That is why I know about it. I know all the things you created ahead even in your laptop and detect your location through that." Paula said in one breath. The voice in her head was getting louder.

It felt like it would explode anytime. That she was just blurting everything. "I don’t want to kill you. But since the apocalypse... There is a voice inside my head, saying that I need to kill you. Or you will destroy the world completely. Each time that voice echoed, it felt horrible like my head is going to explode." Paula said.

"Please... You know everything. You must know about this. You must know how to stop this, Ate Freyah." Paula tried to look up. But she froze up.

Freyah was looking at her. Her eyes were glowing red. It made all her blood froze up. As if she made any moved right now, she would disappear.

Freyah brought out her knife. Then played it around her fingers. "A voice in your head you say?"

Paula didn’t speak. She felt that if she spoke right now, everything would end for her. She didn’t wanted to end like this.

She... Finally found meaning to her existence. People who saw her and talk to her.

"You know. You have good people following you." Freyah said, her voice was chilly. "I was really caught off guard the first time I met them. They poured hundred of knives off me. Then chopped..." Freyah cutted her left arm.

Paula’s eyes widened as blood poured down from the severed arm of Freyah right now. "My hand got even severed like this. I really never thought that my first worst experience will come to fellow humans the moment the apocalypse happened a few days ago."

"You’re lucky that I’m the one who got hit by that. But it almost hit my friend too... And if that happened... I would have chase you to the ends of the Earth..." Freyah threw the knife and it landed right in front of Paula’s face.

Paula held her breathe. Her vision started to blurred and within few seconds, she lose her consciousness.

"She passed out." Freyah said without much emotions then she picked up her severed arm and reconnect it back.

Freyah looked back at the mirage in front of her. Then she stood up and carried Paula back like a sack of rice.

***

Moments later...

Freyah was able to return back at the village. Then entered the meeting hall. Then she threw a recording device at Gwenette which she caught swiftly with both of her hands.

"Check if there is a single lie on that." Freyah said. Then leave right away with Paula. "I’ll be back at dinner."

Freyah said without looking at them. But everyone could see that her eyes were glowing red.

"Freyah, what’s happening?!" Gwenette ran outside. But Freyah was no longer there wherever she looked.
