Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Angelica…." Rudy muttered Angelica's name.

'Yes?' Angelica responded from indie Rudy's body.

"Stay inside my body…" he uttered in a low voice with a cautious look on his face.

'But no physical thing can harm me….'

"It's not a physical thing…" Rudy muttered. "I can use electrification and control the electric signals at my will, and yet, I couldn't feel any signals coming from the sensors," Rudy stated. "And besides, this era is far too early to have advanced security that can trigger sensors."

'How is that possible?' Angelica asked.

"That's what I have to find out."

Rudy flew to one of the traps and pulled it out of the wall. After inspecting it, he said, "As expected, it's not running on electricity."

Rudy glanced around the room and searched the entire mansion at once using his see-through ability, but that drained a little bit of his mental strength.

"There are cameras everywhere. But they are inactive. I wonder if I can find something on the hard drive data."

Rudy went to the monitoring room and found a high-tech computer that should be part of the era.

'Is this running on something else too?' Angelica asked curiously.

"No. This is running on electricity."

Unfortunately, the PC was protected by a strong password, but luckily for Rudy, he could control it too.

He unlocked the PC and played the recent footage that was dated three months ago.

The footage showed an empty room that was dimly lit. Soon after, a man walked into the living room, and another man followed him.

The first man sat on the couch in an arrogant manner, and the second man stood before him.

"What is the meaning of this, brother?!" the second man yelled.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," said the first man with a loud scoff.

'So this might be the previous landlord and his brother,' Rudy uttered inwardly. 'The second man is holding some papers, so this must be the previous landlord, right? The man sitting on the couch is the brother, the current landlord.'

"You clearly know what I am talking about!" the second man threw the documents at the first man and said, "This is your doing, right?! You forged the papers and somehow got my sign on it!"

The first man placed the papers on the side and said, "What do you mean by 'somehow?' Surely, you are not a kid that I fooled you into signing these papers. Unless you signed them yourself."

"Why would I give all my royalties to you!" the second man yelled and took out a gun from his pocket.

The first man raised his hand and stuttered, "Calm down. We can talk about this. There is no need to get—"

Before the first man could even finish what he was speaking, the second man shot him until the gun ran out of bullets.

The first man's body shook every time it was shot, and then it fell on the couch.

"You made me do this!" the second man yelled and ran out of the living room after taking the documents with him.

"..."

After watching the entire footage, Rudy muttered, "Well, that took an interesting turn."

'So I guess I was wrong. Since Joe said the previous landlord died, and his brother took over, the man who shot was the… but…'

Rudy rubbed his hand on his chin and wondered, 'But why was the second man yelling about the documents? According to him, the first man forged the documents, so if he shot him dead, why would…'

Rudy was confused, but it was given since he didn't know anything else on that matter.

'Should we inform the police about this?' Angelica wondered.

"There is no need. Once we meet that killer, I will scare him to death that he will wet his pants and confess everything."

"Oh? Aren't you a little too confident for a thief?" a voice said from behind Rudy.

Rudy was expecting to see the killer who shot the man in the footage, but when he looked back, he saw it was the man who was shot.

He had black hair, black eyes, and a perfect body build. One could easily refer to him as a 'fit' person.

'This guy is giving me bad vibes,' Angelia uttered.

'I didn't even sense him. Or maybe because he didn't make any noise?' Rudy wondered. 'I scanned the entire house a few minutes ago, so it's highly unlikely that he was already in this mansion.'

'And surely, one would make even a little noise, right? And I didn't hear a single—'

The man took out a gun from his pocket and shot Rudy. But of course, Rudy grabbed the bullet with his hand and glared at the man.

"Oh?" The man raised his brow with an amusing look on his face and said, "So you are one of them."

"What are you talking about?!" Rudy asked with a furious look on his face.

"Well, it doesn't matter." The man threw his gun to the corner to the side and said, "I will kill you just like the others."

Rudy frowned his face and uttered, "Who are you?"

The man took a step forward and disappeared from Rudy's sight.

Rudy activated his see-through ability and glanced around to look for the man, but he couldn't spot him.

'So he can bypass my see-through ability?!' Rudy exclaimed. 'That doesn't make sense. No human can… could it be that he is not a human?'

Rudy assumed the man managed to survive the gunshot because he was wearing some protective armor around him. But now, Rudy was convinced that the man wasn't a human.

Rudy left the monitoring room to look for the man, but suddenly, he was hit by a piano.

Of course, the piano was shattered into pieces as soon as it hit Rudy.

However, the couch, table, television, refrigerator, bed— even the small things like a chair, photo frames, pillows, and all the items present in the house— were thrown at Rudy, which buried him under it.

They were coming from all directions at a fast speed that Rudy didn't know where to dodge.

Then, the man stood in front of the mess he had caused and smirked, "Out of all of them, you were the easiest to kill."

A moment later, everything was shot back in all the directions, and some things even hit the man, which caused him to stumble on his feet.

When the man looked back, he saw Rudy hovering in the air, completely unharmed.

Rudy patted his clothes and uttered, "You were saying something?"
