Chapter 51: Somethings about this world (2)
The way she spoke surprised me so much as if she was the second salesperson I have seen since Olivia’s father.
It was as if she read my mind when she said, “You might wonder why I am so enthusiastic when I describe the forces. Well, I spent one of the most exciting days of my life in that service.”
I shook my head in exasperation and asked, “I understand there is a need for the special forces to fight foreign forces; however, when did the foreign invasion begin?”
She stared at me for a minute, and then said, “The history of this planet is quite old and there are things you’re not supposed to know right now, maybe in the future you’ll find out when you prove that you’re useful”
“Once again, this bullshit. Why don’t they just tell us everything straight away, so it will prepare us for what’s going to happen? Anyway, I’ll ask Eve about it.” I thought to myself after hearing her answer.
After that, she advised, “Now is your chance to grow strong in this jungle, but for that, you’ll have to survive because others will join the camp, and remember, everything will be monitored, so you’ll be judged according to your performance.”
“As the situation changes, how will you act and what choices will you make, everything will be monitored and don’t forget that not everyone is your friend and not every animal is your enemy; make wise decisions, it may save your life,” she paused after taking a deep breath.
After staring at Diana for several moments, she said, “You’ve already lived here for more than a month, so you’re already familiar with this world, make sure you’ll do well as a team because the fate of your lives will depend on how you work together.”
She then looked at me and said, “During the entire week, I will train you, since you’ve never received formal training in this facility so that you will know the basic rules for survival and about this world.”
Her eyes remained fixed on me for a moment and she said, “I just want to tell you one thing; some creatures from this planet have become so powerful that we consider them GODS.”
Her words stunned me; I wondered why she was telling me this. Did she know about me, that I had been migrated?
In response, I kept my poker face and asked, “Please tell me what the gods are.”
For a moment, her eyes were fixed on me, and then she said, “Leave it, they are beings that can’t be measured with common sense.”
To divert her attention, I asked her, “Is there any other way we can maximize our chances of surviving?”
She looked at me and said, “Yes, in this period, I will help you become familiar with weapons. It will help a lot since you can’t fight just with your hands.”
Nodding, I asked, “Is there anything else you want me to know?”
“For now, I have some work to finish. I’ll see you this afternoon, but make yourself familiar with Diana. Make sure you leave your differences behind,” she said to me.
As I nodded, I said, “Of course, I’ll meet you later today. One more thing, where is Olivia?”
“She went back to the city. She has to report back to the forces,” she said with a smile.
I was shocked to learn that she works with the forces; why didn’t she tell me about this?
“Um,” I replied, as I moved to leave. Diana followed me.
I noticed, everyone looked at me as I walked down the stairs; I don’t know, but I’m always in the spotlight no matter where I go.
When I approached the receptionist, I smiled and said, “Do you mind, if we went out in the evening. You are so beautiful that I just cannot keep my eyes off you.”
She smiled at me and said, “Of course I would love to, but I have to go out with my boyfriend, maybe next time”
“Next time, definitely,” I said stiffly as I stepped out of the building.
I heard Diana making fun of me behind me; I shrugged and moved towards the restaurant, but Diana followed me.
Then I paused and turned around to look at her. “Why are you following?” I asked.
A smile flashed across her face as she said, “When did I follow you, it was just that you were walking in front of me.” I watched her walk past me, humming a song.
After hearing the song, I remained rooted to the spot with only a single thought running through my head.
“What the fuck, how did she know it?”
