Chapter 729 [Bonus ] Who Is The Culprit?



Chapter 729 [Bonus ] Who Is The Culprit?

A while ago.

The plane was supposed to crash, one way or another, and everyone on it was inevitably going to die.

The only person who wasn't supposed to die was Eleanor, whom Rudy had saved already. While he felt sad that he couldn't help the innocent victims on the plane, there was nothing he could do to stop that.

It was their fate to die. That was a situation, and it was challenging Rudy. Hence, Rudy took it personally and decided that he would change the fates. What could stop him from doing that?

That's what he wanted to know.

However, he still didn't have time to teleport each and every passenger out of place. Rudy was left with no options to try, and that's where he made his own option.

Situations like that were the best to come up with new abilities and try them. Sure, the risk was there, but it was better than not trying.

Rudy touched the plane and closed his eyes. He enhanced his senses to select everyone on the plane. And then… he teleported all of them to the cave without even touching them.

It was the same beach Rudy where used to bring Rebecca, Jessica, Lilim, and Elena during his one-year stay in 1989. It was also the same beach where he had brought Reina on their first date.

Naturally, they had explored the beach since they had traveled there many times. And the cave was a part of it. So teleporting there wasn't a big deal. The challenging part was to teleport them without touching them.

Rudy's mind was always coming up with strange ideas to try out new powers or to enhance an old ability to make better use of it.

The next second, a loud explosion of the plane crash echoed all over the beach and the outside streets..com

Of course, everyone was confused. Some of them thought they had died and were standing in front of the grim reaper, while the rest couldn't even think straight.

"Who are you?!" the pilot asked.

"What's this place?"

"Are you behind the plane crash?"

'Ouch. I get blamed for nothing.' Rudy sighed.

"I know you all are confused and curious. But relax, I will answer all your questions. But first, I want all of you to look into my eyes."

Rudy had already activated his 'Commandment', so they had no choice but to obey his words.

"You remember nothing. You know nothing. You saw nothing. No one was here other than the passengers. No one saved you. No one talked to you. You will leave this cave — one by one— after someone enters it and forget everything!"

CLAP!

Once Rudy clapped, the lights in their eyes vanished as though they had become mindless puppets for the time being.

"They are taken care of. Now…" Rudy searched in the crowd and found the person who was responsible for everything, the man who was live streaming.

"There you are."

Rudy grabbed him and flew out of the cave. He first planned to take him to the sky into the earth's atmosphere and drop him from there, but Rudy sensed the incoming signals approaching the beach, so he aborted that idea and took the man to the other end of the beach, far away from the crash site where no one was going to come.

He threw the man against the mountain to release him from his hypnotization.

The man grunted in pain and glanced around with a puzzled look on his face.

"Where…?" he wondered.

He checked his hands and legs to confirm he was okay.

"The plane's engine failed and… it crashed?"

Even though they were far away from the crash site, the smoke was covering the sky, and it was a clear sign that the plane had crashed.

"I survived the crash?" he wondered. "Damn, I am lucky. Even god is by my side. He saved me because I am a pure and innocent person."

"No, you are alive because I am going to kill you."

The man was suddenly covered by a shadow from the sky.

He looked behind him but was blinded by the sun.

Rudy landed in front of him with vampire fangs and demon horns.

"Wha—! Who are you?!"

"That is not the right question." Rudy grabbed the man by his head and crushed it a little. "You should have asked what I am going to do with you!"

The man began to chant a religious spell, hoping it would save him from Rudy.

"That won't work, not because it's not supposed to work, but because it is useless in your current situation. You are a killer responsible for mass genocide!"

"What do you mean?! I am innocent!"

"Oh really? Then why do you feel guilty, huh?" Rudy asked in a rather demonic voice.

Since Rudy was touching the man, he could feel his emotions and hear his inner thoughts. The man was well aware that he was responsible for the plane crash, yet he wanted to play innocent.

"The plane crashed because the drone hit it. The person flying the drone should be responsible for this crash, not me! I was on that plane. I am a victim too!"

"The drone was flying at the safe and recommended height. But because of the interference in the plane's radar— caused by your live stream— the plane changed its course and flew at a height lower than it was supposed to.

You can't blame the bullet for killing someone, the one holding the gun is the culprit! Because of your stupidity, everyone on the plane would have died! There is no saving you, mothersucker!"

"Wait, what?! They 'would have' died? That means they survived?! Then how come you are blaming me for their deaths?"

It was true that no one died, and the man wasn't responsible for any deaths— although he was responsible for the crash. However, in Rudy's past life, everyone on that plane had died.

Could he still be considered responsible for the mass genocide his version did in a parallel world?
