Esper X Family – Chapter 124 – The Strongest in the Future VS The Strongest of Today!

Even though the numerical value behind the power of cycle applied during her rampage was relatively high.

It was still Wu Mi’s power after all.

Even with only 3,200 units of mental power, it was more than enough to solve the problem.

There was no need for physical contact, nor did it require the victim’s consent.

Wu Mi’s ability had already undergone a qualitative transformation after being enhanced.

After this incident, her threat level would likely need to be reassessed.

An increase in her sequence number was inevitable.

Fang Ze, who hadn’t revealed himself, sensed the condition of the people around him.

The troublesome force within their bodies had indeed disappeared.

Even if they left the Law Space, they would no longer enter a cycle.

Although he didn’t need to work overtime to handle this, it was still a bit regretful that he couldn’t resolve it personally.

He feared that word would spread that the Countermeasures Bureau needed outsiders to solve even a small problem.

This would damage the Bureau’s deterrence against high-risk Sequence Espers and other Esper criminals.

Fang Ze temporarily pushed this thought aside.

Right now, he needed to focus on the movements of Sequence 008.

Since the problem had been resolved, would they leave now?

Sequence 001 was here.

No dangerous individuals could be allowed to stay for too long.

He feared that an accident might occur.

After Zhou Qing noticed the disappearance of the ouroboros thread within his body, he asked Sequence 008 the question that everyone was concerned about.

“Since the problem has been resolved, what will you do next?”

Ye Yao didn’t answer immediately but instead looked at Wu Mi.

“Wu Mi, all your mistakes have been rectified. Do you want to return to a normal life?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone paid close attention.

Sequence 029 had clearly gained control over her own ability.

Her mental power level had even reached a strong A-rank.

Within the Countermeasures Bureau, she could be considered as an upper-tier combatant.

It was entirely possible for Wu Mi to shed her sequence number.

She could then be enlisted into the Countermeasures Bureau with special treatment.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a bright future.

Yet, Wu Mi shook her head without hesitation, not even taking time to think.

“No, I want to stay with everyone.”

“What about your paren—”

“I don’t want them.”

Wu Mi’s response was decisive.

It almost made Ye Yao lose her composure.

It seemed that after experiencing the events of the world of cycles, Wu Mi had completely let go of her former home.

Ye Yao even felt that Wu Mi was becoming increasingly clingy.

She was practically a second Xia Lian.

Whether this was a good thing or not remained to be seen.

“Then do as you like. Once you’ve made up your mind, no one can change it.”

Ye Yao glanced around once more.

Most Espers could feel a strong gaze sweeping over them.

“Did you hear that? Wu Mi is my person.

I’ll be the one watching over her. You Countermeasures Bureau folks don’t need to concern yourselves with her.”

Everyone remained silent.

They would definitely still keep an eye on her.

It was just a matter of lowering her priority.

“Then, this matter ends here. I’ll wait for your report on the mole issue. I presume you’re not willing to hand over the suspect.”

At these words, Fang Ze silently deactivated the Law Space.

After all, this person might not be the real body.

Keeping them here would be meaningless.

Even forcibly detaining Sequence 029 would be troublesome.

It was better to let them go.

Ensuring the safety of Sequence 001 was the priority.

Ye Yao sent Wu Mi into the Dark Erosion space on the ground.

“You all leave first. I still have something to do.”

“Come back soon, okay?”

Wu Mi wore a reluctant expression but still obediently waved her hand.

Rеаԁ оn КаtReаԁinɡСаfе

She prepared to go back and wait for Ye Yao to return home.

Wu Mi didn’t even think of saying goodbye to her parents.

Even if they were freed from the cycle, they would have to accept that their daughter had run away from home.

The Countermeasures Bureau would handle the aftermath.

Ye Yao returned to the air without saying a word.

The Espers present looked puzzled.

Even the three S-rank Espers secretly on guard couldn’t guess Sequence 008’s intentions.

Soon, someone realized that Sequence 008 might be searching for something within the Countermeasures Bureau’s territory.

Zhou Qing and the elite Espers with some knowledge began to speculate.

Could Sequence 008 be looking for the pink-haired girl?

It seemed that Sequence 008 had gotten along well with Sequence 033 in the cycle world.

After returning to reality, it was possible that they would pay attention to her.

It was unclear whether Sequence 033 would retain her memories in the world of cycles after returning to normal.

If so, the Countermeasures Bureau might be able to learn more about Sequence 008 from her.

Every bit of information would be valuable.

If Sequence 008 wanted her, there was no way they could agree.

If they tried to forcibly take her, they would have to contend with the two S-rank Espers present.

It all depended on whether Sequence 008 wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Countermeasures Bureau.

Ye Yao had indeed not forgotten about Fang Tang.

She knew that the little pink-haired girl was in the restricted zone.

There would be plenty of opportunities to bring her out later.

For now, let her stay there a little longer.

It was time to stir things up and test her strength.

She would also give them a bit of pressure as a small act of revenge.

Fission body Ye Yao fixed her gaze in one direction and let out an intrigued sound.

“Oh?”

There was a hint of pleasant surprise in her voice.

The Countermeasures Bureau Espers were puzzled, completely unaware of what Sequence 008 had found interesting.

However, the three S-rank Espers who were in the know could intuitively sense where her gaze was directed.

It was the location of Sequence 001!

Rеаⅾ οn ΚαtRеαԁіnɡСafе

Fang Ze reacted instantly, moving without a moment’s hesitation.

“Law Space! Space solidification, displacement prohibition, ability nullification, mental power stripping…”

A series of rules echoed within the Law Space.

Ye Yao was startled by this zero-frame startup.

How could you hide such a sinister move!?

But that wasn’t all.

Fierce wind suddenly rose.

Upon noticing that Sequence 008 had focused on Sequence 001, Lou Wei decisively took action.

With powerful mental power, he disrupted the effects of the Law Space.

The Espers were nearly blinded by the intense wind.

When they regained their senses, they found that Sequence 008 had disappeared.

Fang Ze walked out with a serious expression, looking up at the sky.

Sequence 008 had been taken away.

Lou Wei alone should be enough to prevent her from causing trouble.

High up in the sky.

Lou Wei didn’t immediately destroy the fission body but restrained it instead.

The man’s expression remained as calm as ever.

Now, it was just the two of them in a standoff.

This was exactly the result Ye Yao wanted.

“What did you notice?” Lou Wei asked.

“Should I spell it out for you in detail?”

Ye Yao’s tone was extremely calm.

At this point, there was no need to be timid.

Sequence 008 was the kind of existence that dared to challenge Dayun Trucks!

What was a Dayun Truck to her?

Once her attribute underwent fission, it would be Lou Wei’s time to retire!

She had been looking for an opportunity to challenge the Dayun Truck.

If not now, when then!?

“Let’s lay all our cards on the table.”

Ye Yao instantly activated her ability.

Her panel attributes skyrocketed!

105 units of mental power surged to 11,025.

With over 10,000 units of mental power, she easily shattered Lou Wei’s mental power restraint.

The terrifying aura was like compressed energy exploding all at once.

Even Lou Wei was slightly moved by this level of mental power fluctuation.

There’s someone else with over 10,000 mental power?

Ye Yao casually waved her hand.

BOOM!

It was pure numerical force in action.

In an instant, the sky was clear of clouds.

Even the storm summoned by Lou Wei’s ability was pacified.

Once her ultimate move was unleashed, all of her intelligence was cleared.

Her mind was filled only with the heavy weight of numbers.

Ye Yao was unprecedentedly inflated!

It’s time to challenge the Dayun Truck!

“Let’s fight.

We’ll decide the ownership of Sequence 001.

If I win, Sequence 001 belongs to me.

If you win, I’ll stop targeting Sequence 001 for a while.

Only the victor has the right to possess everything.”

She set aside all thoughts of slacking off for now.

Time for the strongest in the future VS the strongest of today!
