God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse
Chapter 225 Making Her Believe Me"Oh! Come on now. I didn't say I lost all my powers, did I?"
Alissa stood there on the chair as her blue eyes observed me with a dumbfounded look. Unlike the azure eyes of Caroline, her eyes had a deep sea look as she gawked at me. The blonde hair tied up in a ponytail made her look refreshed and professional at the same time. Those brown looks over her cute face added a touch of intelligence and smarts to her naive looking face.
The white unbuttoned apron over the tight pink shirt and that black skirt of hers, and that sexy curve that I always was blessed with every day, every morning. It was still the same Alissa I knew.
"How?" was the question she asked as she tried to put the pieces together.
'If I hadn't told the story, I wonder what kind of reaction she might have had. She might have been taking me as an alien who kidnapped the real Michael? Or maybe she is already contemplating the idea right now?' I thought as I looked at her confused face.
"I won't tell what exactly I did, but this is the work of one of my abilities,"I told her about it and she looked at me with ridicule before she asked,

"Is that all you are going to focus on?" I asked as I observed her and she shook her head as she spoke,"If you truly are Michael, then you already know what my thoughts are."
And I nodded at her. She doesn't trust me. Not even one bit. But it doesn't matter.
'We don't need trust to establish a mutual ground where we can work together without worrying about backstabbing each other,' I thought about it for a few moments before speaking,
"I can save him. If I can regress once, I can probably regress again. If this time it was only 1 year, next time it will be for 5 years or more, I will save him."
From 'him' I meant Leeway Rosalyn, my best friend and also Alissa's brother. The one who died in the Valentine incident. Looking at Alissa's face, it was clear that she was thinking on the same line as I was.
"It's too vague. I need something to barter,"she spoke as she looked at me. In simple words, I need leverage to provide her in order to make her cut the deal.
'In other words, she doesn't believe that I am Michael in any form or way,' I sighed as I looked at Alissa. It made me sad that the closest person I had, doesn't completely trust me… but given how much she had been through her life, it was a miracle that she trusted me before.
"You told me once…"Caroline spoke as she looked at Alissa, making us concentrate on her,"when Michael was gone for 6 months, and we were on our own… you told me that if the next time we meet, I tell you this… It was your father who killed your brother because you were all alone by yourself."
'Hmmm? What does that mean?' I thought as I looked at Caroline before turning at Alissa, who was sighing really deep. She looked at Caroline as she observed me for a while before she stood up, moved closer to me and…
"Mmmm!"
Kissed me really well. Huh? What just happened?
Then she took a step back as she observed me with a smile as she shook her head and said,"I don't know what to think anymore, honestly."
It left me confused as much as it did to Caroline. She then smiled as she spoke,"Don't worry. It's more like a Code language that I invented, which I meant to use in case of a severe emergency. I did that right after my brother died. It was like a message from the past to the future. I was going to teach you this next year so that we could establish a connection."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Okay… pardon for my bluntness, but why trust us now and not before?" I asked, knowing that her trust was really difficult to get. She could even think that we were mind reading or something, especially after showing her my powers.
"Your thoughts are fair, but to be honest, if I were to go that far, then you might as well be a God to anyone. If you have the ability to read thoughts that deep then perhaps you might even gain anything you want. All the more especially given your intelligence, Micheal," she spoke in words that I understood but still didn't. Kind of.
"Just think that you have crossed the bar where I can still judge where I can trust you or not, and decided to go on with trusting you rather than not doing so,"she sighed as she looked at me and I just blankly observed her for a few moments.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do now?" she asked as she stood there all relaxed, with her eyes relaxed at me as she bit her lips lewdly. This idiot…
"Well, I will be honest. There are 4 more people, other than Caroline, who have their memories of the future. I was looking to find them out, while also preparing for a base within this university. If we can somehow manage to get strong enough to beat that black entity I saw at the end, I guess we might find more of our answers there then," I gave out my thought while also pondering a few other things. The main question was, what if Miya were the one who has her memory of the past? Will she be able to get out of there? Or maybe I would be the one who needs to bring her here again…. What if it's Angela? This creates a lot of problems, but I believe the solutions aren't that hard either. I just need to reach [Level 30] fast, that would solve a lot of my problems.
'I do need to talk to Rhea about it as well. I don't think she, being a part of the system, will forget about anything for now.' I gave a nod to myself before looking at Alissa, who was pondering a little.
"Okay. I will help you with this 'Turn University into a Battleground' thingy… man, this is going to be fun actually given you have superpowers now," she spoke with a lot of excitement and I shuddered a little before smiling at her as well.
"About those superpowers… I actually have another one,"I spoke as I explained to her about the abilities of [Space Time Map] and the more I told her about it, the more she was dumbfounded. It wasn't just her but Caroline, who was looking at me as if I were a freak.
"So you're telling me that you have an inbuilt GPS system that not only allows you to look at things around but also marks them, looks at them, check the past history and tells their power level?" she asked with blank eyes and I nodded before adding,
"At a certain price, I can even choose a place to teleport to, as well as look at the real-time events of any place as long as I pay the price."
