Esper X Family – Chapter 107 – A Clearer Gaze
Esper X Family – Chapter 107 – A Clearer Gaze
The main goal was to find Wu Mi.
Ye Yao began analyzing the nature of the world of cycles.
Unsurprisingly.
This should be an illusory world constructed from Wu Mi’s memories.
Its environment corresponded to real-world locations.
It was likely the place where Wu Mi lived.
Now, the only thing to do was to find the places where she might appear.
Most probably her home or school.
However, Ye Yao didn’t know where Wu Mi’s home was.
She didn’t even know which school Wu Mi had attended before.
It had never come up in their conversations.
Ye Yao hadn’t asked proactively, to avoid bringing up Wu Mi’s past.
This situation was a bit troublesome.
Ye Yao glanced around at the surroundings and couldn’t help but gulp.
“Hmm, if this is just a world made of memories, it shouldn’t be that big, right?”
She was considering whether to conduct a carpet search.
But any of those towering buildings could be Wu Mi’s home.
There were countless skyscrapers in sight.
Searching one by one would take forever.
She would have to rely on the power of numbers.
Ye Yao didn’t want to delay any longer.
“Attribute Fission.”
The attributes on her panel skyrocketed!
Ye Yao’s mental power surged back to S-rank, reaching the realm of an Earth Immortal 1 Xianxia term. Long story short, you usually have to ascend to the Immortal Domain/Realm/World/etc when you cultivate to the Immortal stage, but if you stay on the lower level world you’re called an Earth Immortal, or immortal in the mortal world. They’re pretty much invincible in the mortal world. !
But before she could use her vast mental power to sense this world of cycles.
A sudden anomaly occurred.
The world began to tremble.
The sky split open, and the ground shook violently.
Reaԁ οո ΚαtRеαⅾinɡСаfе
Ye Yao quickly noticed that the buildings in her vision were twisting and distorting.
It was as if a program had encountered a bug.
Not far away, agonized screams echoed.
The consciousnesses trapped in the world of cycles seemed to be suffering immense harm.
They looked as if they were on the verge of annihilation.
Ye Yao hurriedly deactivated Attribute Fission, and her mental power returned to normal.
Only then did the turbulent world stabilize.
Ye Yao looked up at the “wound” in the sky as it healed, her gaze now crystal clear.
“So, you’ve banned the skill that consumes the most brainpower?”
The case was solved.
Attribute Fission was a table-flipping skill in this world of cycles.
Even without actively causing destruction, its sheer numerical power could overwhelm the world.
Perhaps the world of cycles’ endurance limit was based on Wu Mi’s mental power.
Once mental power exceeding the threshold appeared, the world would gradually collapse.
Judging from what just happened, it wasn’t a good thing.
Ye Yao wasn’t sure if the world of cycles collapsing would be a good outcome.
She felt that the consciousnesses trapped here would suffer.
Wu Mi might not escape unscathed either.
“Wu Miiii! Why is your mechanism so complicated!? Can’t we just have a pure stat showdown?”
The white-haired girl lamented.
Ye Yao reviewed her own mechanisms.
Aside from Attribute Fission, there was also Myriad Things Fission.
Perhaps she could include the Family Hero mode from the Found Family System.
They weren’t that complicated.
But these mechanisms weren’t useful in the short term.
They worked well against enemies, but they were somewhat inadequate for saving a friend.
“I don’t believe it! If I can’t use super strength, I’ll use super intelligence!”
Ye Yao was fired up.

Since Wu Mi was safe for the time being, she wasn’t in a hurry.
At most, the Countermeasures Bureau would be anxious.
After all, it was their mole who caused this mess.
Just thinking about it made Ye Yao angry.
But now wasn’t the time for anger.
She would settle the score with the Countermeasures Bureau after resolving Wu Mi’s situation.
Ye Yao continued observing the elements of the world of cycles.
She planned to interact with the unlucky souls trapped here.
At a glance.
Those trapped in the world of cycles included Countermeasures Bureau Espers.
And ordinary people who were caught in the second cycle.
Without a doubt.
Those 325 people had entered a cycle again.
They had just been relocated from the shelter.
There was no way they could’ve been taken out of the Countermeasures Bureau’s jurisdiction so quickly.
It wasn’t surprising that they were caught by Wu Mi’s Ouroboros Threads.
What a bunch of unlucky souls.
Involved in two supernatural disasters for no reason.
When she put herself in their shoes, Ye Yao felt that she wouldn’t be able to handle it either.
But now wasn’t the time for sympathy.
Ye Yao wanted to see if she could communicate with them.
If they could help her find Wu Mi, she might be able to locate her quickly.
“Who should I approach?”
Ye Yao scanned the area, hesitating over which target to choose.
There were many unfamiliar faces in her line of sight.
Some familiar faces were Espers she had barely met once or twice.
She had a slight impression of them after seeing their faces.
Ye Yao wasn’t face-blind, and her memory had improved since becoming an Esper.
Those confirmed to be Countermeasures Bureau Espers could be deprioritized.

It wasn’t that Ye Yao held a grudge or anything.
Who knew if they would retain their original memories in the world of cycles?
Ye Yao didn’t want to reveal too much information in front of them.
To avoid having her secrets analyzed after leaving the world of cycles.
She needed to find someone who seemed easy to fool.
Ye Yao looked around and soon found a suitable target.
The afternoon sunlight divided the sidewalk into light and shadow.
A petite figure entered Ye Yao’s field of vision.
Pink hair cascaded down to her waist like melted strawberry ice cream.
The two white ribbons tied at the ends of her hair bounced with her skipping steps.
The girl wore a pale yellow dress.
The lace-trimmed hem brushed against her knees.
Her small black leather shoes 2 Apparently these are called Mary Janes. made soft “tap tap” sounds on the pavement bricks.
Ye Yao’s gaze was quickly drawn to this lively figure.
“What an unfamiliar figure.”
Ye Yao stroked her chin and searched her memory.
She realized that she hadn’t seen this person before.
If she had met such a distinctive-looking girl.
She would have remembered her after just one encounter.
So, the answer was clear.
This wasn’t one of the 325 people.
She might be an unfamiliar Countermeasures Bureau Esper.
She seemed quite young.
Ye Yao wondered if she would be easy to fool.
Just as Ye Yao was thinking this.
Something unexpected happened to the pink-haired girl.
The girl had been looking up at the drifting clouds.
When suddenly, she tripped over something.
Rеαⅾ oո ΚаtRеаⅾіոgCαfe
It was a slightly raised pavement tile!
The next scene was predictable.
Her body tumbled forward like a butterfly with a broken wing.
Accompanied by an adorable cry.
“Kyah!”
Thud!
Her pink hair spread out, covering half her face.
The girl lay on the ground, emitting a series of pitiful moans.
“Why am I so unlucky!? This is the tenth time I’ve fallen!”
The sunlight gleamed on her swaying hair.
Two mischievous sycamore leaves 3 clung to her pink locks.
Combined with her complaining tone, it was quite comical.
Ye Yao’s expression instantly cleared up.
No wonder she hadn’t cried after that fall.
She’s used to it.
That’s rough.
Ye Yao had roughly guessed the operating mechanism of the world of cycles.
It seemed that everyone was stuck in a vicious cycle of certain events.
Like this pink-haired loli, who had fallen ten times.
Oh dear.
How could Wu Mi be so mean!
Even in an out-of-control state, dragging everyone into the world of cycles only to cycle through unfortunate events?
Such a gentle Wu Mi, she must be found quickly.
Ye Yao’s gaze grew determined.
The white-haired girl took a step forward.
Black mist enveloped her body.
Once again, she transformed into Sequence 008’s figure.
