Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 767 Janet's Whereabouts

Chapter 767 Janet's Whereabouts

'Why can't I track Janet?' Rudy asked himself.

He tracked all the girls and saw what they were doing, except Nyxia.

'I understand why Nyxia is untrackable. She has got experience of thousands of years. Also, she was the freaking Lord. And I am her successor. She is well aware of Lord's ability.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she could win against me if we fought… or… maybe not? She is currently the second-strongest vampire in the universe. If Nyxia can beat me… that would mean the first strongest vampire— Virgil, can beat me too.

Yeah, Nah. I don't like the sound of that. Nyxia could have easily beaten me in her prime— that is, if she still had the Lord's powers. Right now, she rusted gem. She has the experience but not even power.

Anyway, I am not, and I never worried about Nyxia as I know she can easily defend herself. But why can't I track Janet?'

Rudy was back to where he had started.

'Did I not mark her properly? I never confirmed it. That's the only reason I can think of. Oh well, it doesn't matter. Modern problems require modern solutions. I will call her to confirm she is okay.'

Rudy got up from his chair, or so he wanted to, but as soon as he pushed the plate aside, Lucy sharpened her gaze at him and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you going somewhere?"

"I need to make a quick call."

"Where is your phone? I will bring it."

"It's in my…" Rudy paused for a second and thought, 'Where is my phone? It's not in my pockets. Did I leave it in Elena's room? Or… is it in my school bag? Let's hope I didn't drop it somewhere because it has got some of my p.o.r.no with Lilim, Maria, and Alice— although only b.l.o.w.j.o.bs.'

"Rudy, Where is your phone?" Lucy asked again.

"You know what, forget it. I can make the call once I am done with dinner. It can wait."

Rudy couldn't locate his phone like he could locate his harem member. His marking only worked on living beings as it needed to send signals to Rudy.

'One after another, these screw-ups are making me anxious. I better finish the dinner soon and get my phone first.'

It would make obvious sense that Janet would have returned home by the time the school closed. After all, no one was dumb enough to get locked into the school. The faculties always checked each and every room thoroughly.

However, even after all that, Janet was still in the school's infirmary. She was locked there.

After Rudy left with Eric and Janet regained consciousness, she awaited Rudy's return. But he didn't come back even after the school hours had ended.

Janet had told Judy that she would leave after school hours ended. Janet wasn't there when Judy came to check the infirmary, so she locked the room.

Unbeknownst to her that Janet was sleeping on the bed covered by the curtains. She had dozed off while waiting for Rudy and woke up after a nice nap.

She noticed it was dark outside and realized that she had been locked up. Still, she tried to open the door in the hope that someone might be present in the building who would hear her banging the door.

But even after minutes of trying, no one came to save her. She then remembered that she could call someone for help, so she took out her phone from her bag, only to realize that it was long dead.

She noticed Rudy's bag on the side and checked it, hoping to find his phone, but it wasn't there.

Devastated, she sat on the couch with her head in her hands. It was night, and the only light source was moonlight from the window, but that, too, was obstructed by the tree branches.

She pressed all the switches on the board, but none of them worked. Seemingly, the school's main power source had been turned off— as a safety measure to avoid circuits and accidental fire— after it was locked.

She walked to the window and looked outside, hoping someone might be pa.s.sing by. But she was on the third floor, and the only thing outside the window was a huge tree and the open playground of the school.

SIGH!

She went back to the couch and took out snacks from her bag.

'It's not a big deal, to be honest. I am always home alone at night, so spending the night at home or getting locked up here doesn't make much of a difference. I can simply wait for the school to open tomorrow.'

She rea.s.sured herself while eating snacks.

'I have food and access to mineral water in the infirmary. There is a separate washroom too. I even have a bed. I literally have everything one needs to survive. If… phone isn't… an including factor.'

After eating snacks and drinking water, Janet leaned back on the couch and enjoyed the view of the starry sky outside the window.

'It's not Rudy's fault. I should have left while I had the chance. I should have expected that Rudy might not return, but I never thought he would leave his bag behind. Well, that proves he never came back.

Wait… maybe this is my chance to get back to him? What if I use this event as an excuse to make him feel guilty for leaving me like this? And as compensation… I will ask him to do something for me?

Like what… though? Maybe… a kiss on the lips…?'

She shook her head and muttered, "No, that's too direct. He will surely feel repulsed by it. Perhaps, I should ask for a date? I don't think that's extreme. And isn't it natural for friends to hang out with each other, go to movies, and stuff?

Yeah… let's go with that.'

Janet facepalmed herself and mumbled, "But I have to make sure he doesn't bring Alice along. Because if she joins us, Rudy's attention will be focused on Alice only, and I will end up becoming a third wheel."

While planning and dreaming about her date with Rudy, Janet dozed off on the couch. Time pa.s.sed, but she didn't wake up. Seemingly, she had fallen asleep.

However, something strange happened.

The shadow of the tree branches that was falling on the room slowly changed its shape. No, it didn't move. Its form changed from a claw-like shadow to a humanoid shape.

It slowly rose up, and a shadow appeared in front of sleeping Janet.

[You… are… an anomaly.] It spoke.
