Esper X Family – Chapter 127 – Life Is Difficult, the Loli Sighs

“Ye Yao, what just happened…”

Mo Qiuli’s face was full of curiosity.

After everything was over, she finally learned some inside information.

Sequence 008 brought Sequence 029 to deal with a supernatural disaster.

The misunderstanding arose because the other party didn’t notify them in advance.

At least, that was what Ms. Yang said.

It thoroughly satisfied Mo Qiuli’s curiosity.

But she was sure about one thing.

That black mist Esper was clearly Ye Yao!

How did she become Sequence 008?

Since Mo Qiuli didn’t pay much attention to the gossip in the supernatural world, her information was completely outdated.

She felt that gossip wasn’t as appealing as magical girls.

“Who cares. Let’s think about tonight’s magical girl activity instead.”

Ye Yao didn’t dare to say too much at the Countermeasures Bureau.

She had to quickly divert Mo Qiuli’s attention.

Lou Wei was too strict.

If he found out that she was Sequence 008, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After all, she had always maintained the image of a good girl.

Who could handle such a sudden change in character?

Ye Yao couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

She thought about how she had confidently spouted a bunch of tough words before the fight…

Then, when the fight began, she was immediately kicked to death like a stray dog on the roadside.

Even a certain clown ¹ Joker would have to give up his seat to Ye Yao.

Let her go and face off against Batman.

In any case, her identity as Sequence 008 must not be exposed.

“Magical girls!

How about checking out the task list at the Countermeasures Bureau?

I heard that there are some weak Esper criminals on the run.

Rеaԁ οո ΚαtReadiոɡСаfe

It’d be perfect for an activity.”

Mo Qiuli’s attention was indeed diverted.

Since Ye Yao didn’t want to talk about it, she let it go.

Isn’t that how it always goes in anime?

Even if there are secrets at the beginning, as everyone’s friendship deepens, the heart of the matter will eventually be revealed ² The classic technique of using foreshadowing to set up the character’s arc later. .

In the end, everyone will unleash the power of friendship to crush the bad guy.

Mo Qiuli was looking forward to Ye Yao playing out this kind of scenario with her.

It fits perfectly with the magical girl style!

“You’re really marinated in magical girl stuff.”

Ye Yao felt speechless when she read the thoughts in Mo Qiuli’s mind.

A normal girl might feel that their friendship is fading.

That they couldn’t be good friends anymore.

They would feel down, keeping it bottled up.

Finally, internalizing it and breaking the friendship.

Only Mo Qiuli could come up with such an outrageous logical chain.

Luo Jianhua smiled beside them. “It doesn’t seem to have much to do with us. Didn’t Sister come here to borrow the training ground?”

“The training ground… we should indeed check it out.”

Although that wasn’t her original purpose, she had to complete the act.

Coming here just to walk around would be too suspicious.

Then, Ye Yao inadvertently turned her head toward the direction of the restricted zone.

That was where Fang Tang was.

Ye Yao hadn’t forgotten about the little pink-haired girl.

She originally thought that after a fair fight with Lou Wei, she could increase her leverage to ask the Countermeasures Bureau for Sequence 033.

That way, she might be able to skip some troublesome steps.

But after being crushed into a cat pancake ³ , she couldn’t confidently come and ask for her.

She could only sneak her out!

But it still seemed a bit difficult.

She would have to go back and ask Mu Luo, to see if he could unleash his conceptual god’s power ⁴ This one is a complicated meme. Long story short, the origin is from webnovels where the main character can draw power from certain concepts. It became a meme where people give conceptual gods behind all kinds of characters as the source of their power, like how Blover in PvZ draws power from the concept of “air”. There are also conceptual gods based on other memes of the character. .

Rеаⅾ оn KαtRеаdіngCаfе

Just “pick” her up directly.

After all, Mu Luo’s reputation was already ruined.

It couldn’t get any worse.

At the same time.

Several people entered the restricted zone.

Sequence 033 had indeed permanently broken free from the cycle.

Even if she wasn’t brought to the surface.

Her passive ability could resonate with Sequence 029’s mental power.

Thus, the negative effects were incidentally removed.

In fact, it didn’t matter if they weren’t removed.

Fang Ze could spend some time dealing with it.

Bringing her, a Sequence Esper, out of the restricted zone still carried significant risks.

At that moment, they had something very important to ask Sequence 033.

According to Zhou Qing, Sequence 033 had frequent contact with Sequence 008 in the world of cycles.

She might know some information that the Countermeasures Bureau didn’t.

Mainly because the black mist Esper was too mysterious.

That mysterious black mist could block all mental power detection.

Even technology couldn’t see through their physical information.

Sequence 008 was about to become Sequence 002.

Their presence was growing stronger.

Yet, the Countermeasures Bureau still knew almost nothing about them.

That was somewhat inappropriate.

“Fang Tang, do you remember the scenes from the world of cycles?”

Not everyone remembered the things from the world of cycles.

Ordinary people remembered nothing, only feeling like they had a vague dream.

They couldn’t answer any questions.

They could only place their hopes on Fang Tang.

Rеad оո КаtRеаԁіոɡСαfe

“I feel like I had a very interesting dream.”

Fang Tang’s body swayed from side to side, her expression one of lingering enjoyment.

It seemed that this rare “beautiful dream” had relieved much of her recent boredom.

Then, she looked at the adults who wouldn’t let her leave.

Although she wasn’t being mistreated and had good food and drink, being locked up here was still too mean!

She couldn’t even use the internet.

She could only watch some fixed TV programs.

“We heard that in the ‘dream’, you came into contact with someone covered in black mist.

What did they say to you? Do you remember?”

The staff continued questioning Fang Tang using her terminology.

Although they didn’t think that someone like Sequence 008 would reveal themselves in front of a girl they just met.

But what if?

Many things were often discovered with “what ifs”.

“If I tell you, will you let me out?”

Fang Tang looked curious.

The staff adjusted their glasses. “If you provide useful information, we might consider letting you out for a while.”

“Then, I don’t know.”

Fang Tang turned her head away, acting like she knew nothing.

I’m not gonna say anything!

It’s obvious that these adults are lying.

Did they think Fang Tang was a fool?

The Espers who had come looked at each other, all feeling helpless.

They couldn’t torture her for information.

And they couldn’t use abilities to force her to speak either.

Otherwise, what if a resonance explosion occurred?

They could only assume that she knew very little.

How could a little girl, a bystander in the world of cycles, know anything valuable?

Fortunately, they knew from Zhou Qing that Fang Tang didn’t retain her real-world memories after being dragged into the world of cycles.

Rеaⅾ οn ΚatRеαԁіոɡCαfе

Probably because her mental power was too low.

This way.

Sequence 008 wouldn’t know her true identity.

They probably wouldn’t be interested in this restricted zone.

“Rest well. Your teacher will come later to teach you how to control your ability. Once your power stabilizes, you can leave.”

“Ugh… I can’t learn it. I just can’t.”

Fang Tang’s face was full of despair.

How could she think about controlling her powers?

Her heart had already flown far away.

Like a student sitting in a classroom, staring out of the window.

Her thoughts couldn’t possibly stay on the lesson.

Soon, Fang Tang was alone in the room.

The pink-haired loli lay on the bed, utterly bored, her mind filled with Ye Yao’s face.

She kept recalling the things she experienced in the world of cycles.

Wasn’t this just another form of quenching thirst by thinking of plums?

“I’ll wait for you to come back, Ghosty… Don’t forget me…”

But Fang Tang remembered that she probably hadn’t told Ye Yao where she was.

She couldn’t remember anything in the “dream”.

The hope was very slim.

“ Sigh~ ”

Life is hard, the loli sighs ⁵ The original meme is a cat, and there are other versions like ultraman sighing. .
