Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 145 Ways To Kill

\'It felt good when I killed that guard. Just like how one feels after taking out the trash, I feel like I did a good thing by killing the useless and worthless people in this world.\'

Rudy asked himself a question earlier when he was in the waterpark with Alice: Are my powers changing me?

He didn\'t know the answer to that, not because he hadn\'t noticed the change in his mentality, but because he didn\'t think there was anything wrong with it.

Rudy, of course, wouldn\'t kill anyone, but he had killed Paul in his past life, and he never regretted that. Maybe Rudy was like that from the beginning, or perhaps, he had changed. But there was one thing that was never going to change, and that was Rudy\'s commitment to himself.

He had sworn to himself that he could never hurt an innocent, and currently, the two girls sleeping naked beside Scott were innocent. And if he wanted to kill Scott after torturing him and making him suffer, he had to wake him up first.

If Scott yelled for help, not the two girls, but all the people in the entire mansion would wake up. And if they saw Rudy, he would have no chance to end them all to keep his secret.

However, doing that would be against his promise. For Rudy, breaking promises was a bad thing, but it wasn\'t something terrible; the worse thing was he would be breaking the promise he had to himself.

He would be betraying himself. And that would surely be considered as \'his powers had changed him\'.

Now, Rudy had to choose between two things; whether to kill Scott without making him suffer, or break his promise to himself. Either way, he was going to lose something.

"I will make a third option…"

Rudy walked to the bed and shook the girl to wake her up.

The girl first moved a little and sat up while rubbing her eyes before opening them and looking at Rudy. She stared at him for a few seconds and finally came back to her senses.

She was about to screen, but Rudy covered her mouth and looked into her.

"Calm down. You do not know me. You haven\'t seen me. I am not supposed to be here. You are not supposed to be here. Get up, and walk out of the door. Forget everything."

Rudy used hypnosis on the girl and erased her memories.

The girl stood up and walked out of the door like a robot without even wearing her clothes properly.

Of course, the hypnosis would wear off, and they wouldn\'t remember anything.

\'This should work…\'

Rudy walked to the other girl and did the same thing he did with the first one. He wiped her memories and ordered her to leave the room.

"Now then…" Rudy cracked his finger with his thumb and smirked viciously at Scott, who was fast asleep on his bed.

\'My hands are feeling so itchy that I feel like if I don\'t do anything soon, they will do it themselves…\'

Rudy grabbed Scott\'s leg and pulled him off the bed.

"...."

Rudy expected Scott to wake up by that, but he didn\'t, so he dragged him out to the balcony and slammed him to the chair.

"Seriously? Did he take sleeping meds or something?"

Rudy looked at the side of the bed and saw empty wine bottles, energy drinks, and used condoms.

"..."

"He won\'t wake up even if I toss him off the balcony…"

Rudy raised his brow and pondered for a few seconds as an important theory crossed his mind which he had read in his past life.

"The theory wasn\'t proven, but it wasn\'t debunked either…"

The theory was that if a person was in a deep sleep, or had taken sleeping pills, they wouldn\'t wake up even if physical pain is inflicted on their body. However, if they had a nightmare in that state, they would wake up immediately.

"But… what could be a nightmare of this piece of shit?" Rudy wondered.

\'Loan payment? Losing his parents? Losing money? Losing a loved one… no. I doubt he has the heart to love someone…\' Rudy looked at Scott and muttered, "Losing everything?"

"But how am I going to give him a nightmare?" Rudy rubbed his finger and thumb on his chin and thought of a way to show the deadliest nightmare to Scott.

"Wait…" Rudy snapped his fingers as he got an idea. "If I can read other memories by touching them using mind reading, I should also be able to show them my memories using the same technique, right?"

Luckily, Rudy had Scott to test out his theory. However, he changed the nightmare. Instead of showing Scott a nightmare of losing everything— which also had the possibility of not working on him— Rudy decided to show Scott something else that would definitely make him rageful.

"Heh!" Rudy couldn\'t help but smirk as he imagined how Scott would react.

He placed his hands on Scott\'s head to show his \'fun\' sessions with Reina.

Rudy knew that Scott was obsessed with Reina, and he would do anything to get her. That\'s exactly why he sent Mark to assault Reina, so she would have no other choice but to bang on Scott\'s door to seek help.

But, his plan failed. Now, Rudy showed Scott everything he had seen Reina doing with him. He showed Scott a side of Reina that he had never seen.

"...!"

Scott opened his eyes with a furious look on his face and glanced around. He was baffled after finding himself on the balcony, so he got up and tried to go back to his room, but Rudy was blocking his way.

"You—! What are you doing here?! How did you get here?!" He yelled.

Rudy looked into Scott\'s eyes with a lifeless glare and uttered in a cold voice: "I am here to pay you back, not the loan, but something else."
