Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Where did she go?"

Rudy woke Rebecca up and asked, "Where is Jessica?!"

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and stared at Rudy.

"Mmm?"

"Where is Jessica?"

Rebecca rubbed her eyes and glanced to her side while saying, "She is sleeping…"

Her eyes automatically widened when she realized Jessica wasn't there.

She got up from the bed and searched through the house, but couldn't find her.

"Where is Jess?!" she asked with an anxious look on her face.

"You don't know?"

"No… we were sleeping…"

SIGH!

Rudy was constantly trying to use the 'find my prey' ability to locate Jessica, but it wasn't working for some reason.

'Why the hell is it not working. I have already touched Jessica many times, so it should be working!'

There was one time when Rudy's ability didn't work, and that was when the Ross family was abducted into the dimension ball. It wasn't as though he couldn't find them, he couldn't see them even after locating them.

'Is the same thing happening this time? But this is 1989!'

"When was the last time you saw her?" Rudy asked impatiently.

"When we went to sleep. You were also on the couch…"

"Yes, but I…"

Rebecca furrowed her brows and asked, "Did you go to visit Elena again?"

"How… do you know that…?"

Rebecca shrugged her shoulders and responded, "That's where you will go since you only visit Elena at night."

"That's true, but we are talking about Jessica right now."

"Last Sunday, when you went to drop Elena at her house after dropping us here, Jessica wanted to go after you. But I stopped her as it was night, and there was no way I was letting her go alone.

I think she…" Rebecca's face turned pale as she said, "She might have woken up after you left and went to…"

Rudy understood what Rebecca was trying to say even without hearing her full sentence.

"Seriously!" He looked at the time and said, "It's past 2 am! What was she thinking?!"

"Will she be okay?!" Rebecca panicked.

"Yeah." He patted Rebecca on the head and said, "She will be fine."

'I teleported here after leaving Elena's house. If I had flown my way, I would have seen her,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"Still, we don't know when she left. It takes hardly fifteen minutes to reach Elena's house. So if she left before that, she should be…."

Rudy took out his 1989 phone and dialed Elena.

After a few rings, Elena answered the call in a low voice.

[Are you missing me already?] That was the first thing she uttered after picking up the phone.

"Jessica. Is she there?" Rudy asked.

"Huh? Jessica? No, why would she be here?" Rudy could easily sense the confusion in Elena's voice.

"She is not here, and there are chances that she is on her way there."

"Wait a minute…" Rudy heard loud and fast footsteps over the phone, seemingly, Elena rushed to her window to look outside.

"..."

"I don't see her. It's dark."

"Okay. I will be on my way to look for her."

"I will too—!"

Before Elena could finish, Ruy hung up the phone as he was in a hurry.

Rudy turned to Rebecca, who was panicking and calmly said, "Don't worry. I will bring her back in no time."

"I will come with you!"

"No. Please stay here. What if Jessica returns and doesn't find anyone here? She will freak out. So wait for us here."

"But…"

"What?"

Rebecca hugged herself as her legs trembled.

"I will be scared alone…"

"..." Rudy sat in front of Rebecca and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Rebecca, look me in the eyes."

Rebecca looked into Rudy's eyes and stopped trembling.

"You are a strong girl. You don't have to be afraid of anything. You are the best and the greatest sister of all time. I have learned a lot from you, and you had given me the strength to move forward when I was alone. So just be patient, and you will get anything you want in your life."

"..." Rudy's words have been embedded in Rebecca's mind ever since then, and her maturity has increased.

Rudy had unknowingly and unintentionally hypnotized Rebecca into believing that she was a strong girl who didn't have to fear anything in the world.

"I will go look for her. Make sure to lock the door."

When Rudy left through the front door, he noticed it was open, further proving that Jessica had indeed left the house as Rudy had locked the door before going to visit Elena.

Rudy rushed out of the house and soared into the sky so he could have a big field of view.

'No need to panic, Rudy. This is 1989, and nothing happens to Angelica at that time. She… dies in the year 2000. Nothing should happen to her now. But…'

Rudy clenched his fists and flew even higher. Then, he spread his hands and activated his new, yet old, vision ability.

"All vision!"

That ability was a mix of all his vision abilities, as well as all his sensory abilities, including the 'find my prey' ability.

Of course, he could only use it for a few seconds before he became blind, but that was the least concerning thing to Rudy.

Rudy sharpened all his senses and increased the radius to far more than the actual town. He was sensing every tiny moment of the town.

He had already achieved the first step to reach Omnipresence, but now, he had stepped on the first pillar to acquire Omniscient, where he knew everything happening in the town.

Still, using so many abilities not only strained his mental strength, but his brain couldn't process through so much information at once. It needed more time, which Rudy didn't have.

"I sense something strange in the forest behind the school near Elena's house."

Rudy landed near the forest and covered his mouth because of the stench of blood in the air. It was so intense that Rudy jumped in the air to avoid it.

"So much blood."

Hundreds of dead bodies were in the forest, and everything was covered in blood.

Amid all that, he spotted Jessica's body on the huge slab of rock. And a shadow was lurking around it.

"...!"
