Esper X Family – Chapter 115 – Oh No! My Alt Account!

Ye Yao instantly activated Attribute Fission.

Before the world could react, she performed frame-by-frame manipulation ¹ Apparently a reference to operations in Arknights where you take advantage of the pause button to deploy, retreat, or activate skill while no time passes in-game. Basically 0 frame. .

In almost an instant, Sequence 077 was obliterated by an overwhelming force.

The terrifying mental power dissipated as if the previous outburst had never happened.

Ye Yao glanced up at the sky.

It was pitch black, with no signs of cracking.

It seemed that there was no need to worry as long as the duration was short.

One frame to activate the skill, one frame to attack, and one frame to deactivate it.

This method ensured the world couldn’t react.

Unfortunately, this technique required immense focus.

Otherwise, Ye Yao could have used it to scan the area.

Zhou Qing was shocked by the sudden turn of events and turned to look at the figure emerging from the shadows.

“Sequence 008! Why are you here?”

Ye Yao tilted her head.

She suddenly remembered that this was their first meeting in this cycle.

“Did I disturb you? Anyway, you’ve achieved your goal of training. Is there a problem with me clearing an obstacle?”

Zhou Qing relaxed but didn’t immediately deactivate his ability state.

He feared that the suppressed pain would all rush back and cause him to lose consciousness.

“Right, the hint on the wall must’ve been left by you. The cycle doesn’t affect you.

You must’ve communicated with us in previous cycles, but we’ve forgotten.”

“You’re quick on the uptake, even though you look like you’re about to collapse.”

Ye Yao looked at the others.

Zhou Qing had been pushing himself to the brink, disregarding his life in training.

His injuries looked fatal, as if his death was imminent.

The three fabricated Countermeasures Bureau Espers had almost their entire bodies charred.

They seemed unable to move.

However, it looked like they still had a breath left.

This time, after learning the truth about the world, Zhou Qing’s strength had greatly increased.

He fought to the death without retreating.

As a result, Sequence 077 had also been significantly enhanced.

If it had self-destructed, it might not have been possible to control the range as in the previous cycle.

Since she was close, even Ye Yao would have been in danger.

She had no choice but to handle it herself.

Zhou Qing forcibly maintained his ability state to stabilize his consciousness.

“Since you’re here, does that mean you can solve the problem?”

“Unfortunately, this world can’t be solved through brute force. If I intervened, I might kill all of you, and even my Wu Mi might be harmed.”

Ye Yao checked the time.

There was still some time before the world reset.

“Your idea is interesting, using the cycle to increase your strength limit. I’m sure other Countermeasures Bureau Espers have noticed this.”

Ye Yao couldn’t help but praise them.

Overall, they hadn’t put the cart before the horse.

Since the cycle was unavoidable, they used it to their advantage.

As their strength gradually increased, cycle’s impact on them would gradually lessen.

Perhaps they could eventually retain their memories through the world reset.

But that would take too long.

Even though the flow of time in the world of cycles and the real world were different, Ye Yao didn’t want to wait.

The sooner Wu Mi woke up, the better.

Whoever loved grinding this damn dungeon should do it on their own.

Ye Yao preferred to speedrun it.

“Even you can’t find a way?”

Rеаԁ on КatReaԁіոɡСαfе

Zhou Qing sighed deeply but didn’t despair.

His will wasn’t easily shaken.

Solving the problem was just a matter of time.

If external solutions failed, they would handle it from the inside.

Ye Yao wasn’t in a good mood.

After all, there was still no breakthrough.

Hinting at the Countermeasures Bureau Espers merely let them know that the world reset wouldn’t refresh their mental power limit.

Taking the level up approach to conquer the dungeon was too slow.

It might be a valid method.

But Ye Yao couldn’t afford to wait, nor did she want to.

“The world is about to reset. Next cycle, I won’t spend my time giving hints again. You’ll continue the cycle of defeating Sequence 077.”

“Ha… You actively solving the problem is already a great help to us.”

Zhou Qing’s life seemed to be nearing its end, like a candle in the wind.

The moment he learned that the world would cycle, his own life and death became irrelevant.

“And… this time, it didn’t feel like a cycle anymore…

I’m about to die…

And my squad members, who should have died, are still hanging on to life.

Doesn’t this mean that… we’ve broken the cycle?”

Zhou Qing let out a bitter, weak laugh.

It was rare for him to joke in such a state.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but admire him.

The Countermeasures Bureau was likely full of remarkable individuals.

“I should thank you, Sequence 008…

For ensuring that my squad didn’t die at the hands of Sequence 077 before the world reset…

I’m happy… and content. Thank you…”

The candle’s flame extinguished.

Rеαd οո КаtRеаdіոɡCаfe

Before the other squad members died, the captain fell first.

For Zhou Qing, this was perhaps the best outcome.

If he could return to the time when they were fighting Sequence 077…

Zhou Qing would have sacrificed himself to ensure the survival of his three squad members.

Ye Yao stared at Zhou Qing, who remained standing firm, and felt a pang of sadness.

“…Why thank me? It’s just for self-preservation anyway.”

Ye Yao muttered, feeling somewhat uneasy.

She inwardly acknowledged Zhou Qing’s greatness, using the cycle to grow stronger and break the situation from within.

Every action was taken to resolve the supernatural disaster and save those caught in it.

But gratitude from such people made Ye Yao very uncomfortable.

She didn’t have such high ideological awareness.

It made her feel like she had done something monumental.

Ye Yao patted her cheeks to perk herself up.

“Next cycle, there must be significant progress!”

The clock hit midnight.

As Countermeasures Bureau Squad A2 lost their captain.

The night instantly turned into day.

Ye Yao returned to the starting point and instinctively shielded her eyes.

“Damn it, this light change is like sleeping in bed with the curtains tightly closed, only to have them suddenly yanked open!”

It was as effective as a flashbang to the face!

“Mm, time to go find that little pink-haired girl.”

Ye Yao adjusted to the light and prepared to find Fang Tang.

After all, she had promised to bring her along this cycle. She couldn’t go back on her word.

Reаԁ οո KatRеαdіnɡСаfе

Even though the memories would reset, Ye Yao still intended to keep her promise.

After a quick glance around, she spotted the pink-haired girl walking on the sidewalk.

This time, Ye Yao didn’t cloak herself in black mist, planning to approach her in her original form.

Since everything would reset at the end, it didn’t matter if she was exposed.

Besides, she was just a harmless little pink-haired girl.

As long as it wasn’t someone from the Countermeasures Bureau, it was fine to relax a bit.

Ye Yao jogged over, planning to stage an accidental encounter.

But halfway there, she noticed something off about Fang Tang’s state.

She was looking around as if searching for something.

Ye Yao immediately sensed that something was wrong.

At that moment, the pink-haired girl turned around and noticed the white-haired loli whose steps were gradually slowing down.

The next second, her blue eyes lit up.

“Is that you, Ghosty?”

Fang Tang lunged forward, grabbing Ye Yao’s small hand without giving her any time to react.

“Wow! This familiar feeling! Ghosty, you really are a cute girl!”

Ye Yao was utterly shocked.

Oh no!!!
