Apocalypse Regression's

Strange Old Man

"I'm sorry?"

Lisa tilted her head with a confused expression. Really don't know what to do. His mind was quite a mess due to the Ark's sudden change.

"Prove it."

Ark said in an impatient tone.

Realizing that Ark really gave her a chance, the girl seemed relieved and excited. He then stroked Debby's head with a pleased expression.

"You have to do your best, Debby!"

After that, Lisa took a few steps back. He then began to give orders.

"Debby, sit!"

The Black Doberman sat down.

"Debby, say hello."

The creature extended its right front leg. After that, Lisa took a step back.

"Debby, lay down!"

"Debby, pretend to be dead!"

"..."

Looking at the Black Doberman, the creature that was supposed to slaughter hundreds of people in the future behaved like a pet making Ark frown. He was skeptical. Really kind of numb.

'Am I marking the wrong creature?'

The question came to Ark's mind. However, he immediately shook his head. Clearly, Lisa had something to do with Old Franky, so the beast was clearly the same creature.

"Enough."

Ark immediately said in a flat tone. He then recalled how his mind suddenly felt muddled. The young man then walked towards somewhere. More precisely, to the house where he had previously been thrown.

In a courtyard, Ark saw many rotten plants. However, in the middle of the place, there appeared a plant with one stem, several leaves, and one flower. They are no larger than marigolds.

The flower petals were blood red and looked strange. In the center of the flower that usually contains the pistil is replaced with an eyeball with a yellow iris and a vertical pupil.

"really surprising. Unexpectedly, there were treasures in a place like this."

Ark then regained consciousness. The reason why she was so emotional earlier was the flower.

Of course, it is not entirely wrong of the flower. On the contrary, since his mind was already muddled, he could be affected by the flower.

Infernal's Eye.

A rather dominating name. However, the name does match the characteristics of the flower. Not only did it have a monstrous appearance, it made people's minds go awry.

The eyeball in the center of the flower will create a strange liquid that can make a person confused. More precisely, it makes people's minds run slower. Make doubt and worry.

Infernal's Eye has a unique mechanism. When he feels threatened, the fluid produced by that eye will evaporate. Mixing with the air around and making living things around it, especially intelligent beings feel confused.

When evaporated, there is no color or aroma. So, it can be considered that this flower is a very dangerous type of plant.

In the past, there were people who had a good idea to mix Infernal's Eye together with Devil's Vines. Make a strong guardrail and very difficult to penetrate. The result is amazing because both plants can live in harmony.

The problem is, Infernal's Eye is not easy to find. Not to mention, the plant was almost impossible to cultivate. Even if it could, it would require too much time, so it would be impossible to pair with the Devil's Vines which were easier to develop.

Years later, another function of Infernal's Eye was rediscovered. That is to be one of the ingredients to make high-level potions with extraordinary effects. Not only that, there are also other uses of Infernal's Eye, especially for espers.

You could say, Infernal's Eye could be considered a treasure for espers.

"Although not as good as Miracle Root was, at least, I didn't lose too much."

Ark muttered with a somewhat regretful expression.

But Ark did not give up. If Debby hurts people, she will not hesitate to cut the creature and take her Miracle Root.

Ark then marked this place. Didn't intend to dig and carry him. That's because, he has another purpose.

Ark then exited the area of the house. Looking towards the members of his group, he nodded. He then walked over while staring at the figures of Lisa and Debby.

"Take me to your place."

"Eh?" ark's words surprised Lisa.

The girl did not expect, it turned out that the cruel man who had almost killed her had asked to come to her residence!

"Annu ..."

"I want to meet Old Franky."

"But Grandpa said, I can't bring strangers home."

"In that case, I won't let Debby follow you."

Hearing that, Lisa was immediately pensive. Ark's friends stared at the young man with astonished expressions. Didn't expect that he would actually threaten a child in such a way.

After thinking for so long, Lisa finally answered.

"Good."

Ark was satisfied with that answer. So he then said.

"Rest for a while. At about seven, we're leaving."

"Understand!" answer the other members in unison.

After resting for quite a while and his wound dried up, Ark finally asked Lisa to lead the way. Although not completely healed, the Black Doberman was also able to move more normally. After all, the recovery system of an animal's body was usually better than that of a human. Yep. Even if something like that is not entirely true.

Lisa and Debby lead the way.

It didn't take long, they got to a big house. Like the surrounding mansions, the place looked dirty and dusty. If it wasn't for Lisa saying that it was the place, surely Ark and his comrades wouldn't have expected someone to live in such a place.

"Make it as if it were empty as any other house because it has no power to defend it. Although there are some defects such as footprints, but this camouflage is already good."

Ark said with a flat expression. However, he became increasingly convinced that Old Franky did indeed live in this place. After all, his style was indeed quite similar to the person he had known in his previous life.

Lisa took the lead, then went to the backyard of the house. He then knocked on the back door of the house with a certain rhythm.

'Truly careful old man.'

After a while, the door opened. When the person inside the house saw that there was someone other than his granddaughter, he was about to close the door. But then Ark came forward and stuck the door with his feet.

"You're still as careful as ever, Old Franky."

Looking at the figure of the foreign youth with a cold expression that called out to him familiarly, Old Franky immediately asked with a nervous expression.

"W-Who are you?!"

Not answering Old Franky's question, Ark pushed the door open.

Due to a sudden, violent push, Old Franky was immediately pushed back until he fell to the ground.

Ark stared at the figure of the skinny old man with disheveled hair. He has a pretty thick beard. Plus wearing a dirty lab coat, his appearance is similar to that of a mad scientist in horror stories.

However, it was not entirely wrong because the person in front of him was not a careless person. Old Franky ...

He was one of two mad scientists. The one who came up with the idea to create the Chimera evolutionary route!
