Esper X Family – Chapter 132 – Lucky Find

Ye Yao immediately transformed into a famous detective ¹ I have no idea why, but the CN version of “Detective Conan” is called 名侦探mingzhentan (名 famous + 侦探 detective) 柯南kenan (Conan) instead of just Detective Conan. .

“That person definitely has something fishy going on. Normal methods can’t detect his abnormalities, but you, Gu Wenxin, can see through him.

To stop you from ruining their plans, they framed you with ‘cognitive bias’, using it as an excuse to imprison you in the restricted zone for life.”

Xia Lian chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

“Isn’t it just that Brother Wolf ² In case you forgor, Xia Lian treats Gu Wenxin as a wolf. is too rigid, which landed him in this trap?”

As the saying goes, “Endure for a moment, and the storm will pass.”

Here, it could mean letting go of hostility and breaking free from containment.

Then find an opportunity to kick the other party to death later.

Gu Wenxin closed his eyes and didn’t refute.

In some ways, he was indeed inflexible.

As the Countermeasures Bureau would put it, his personality was unstable.

When he encountered evil people, he would draw his sword without hesitation.

If he could accurately identify them, that would be fine.

But if the target was someone who had been thoroughly investigated and found to have no flaws.

Then he would be a pure murderer.

No one could guarantee that they wouldn’t be judged as “extremely evil” by Gu Wenxin.

Was it really cognitive bias?

Jiang Huashen paused his brush and joined the conversation.

“Isn’t this an unsolvable problem?

That person already holds a position in the Countermeasures Bureau and has been tested by other Espers.

Only Gu Wenxin knows his own ability. Others can’t share the effect.

With low status and insufficient reputation, even if he’s proven to be telling the truth, it could still be twisted into something else.”

It was like someone speaking nothing but the truth, yet going against common sense. They might be immediately labeled as crazy.

If it wasn’t a problem with the mind, then it could be a problem with the ability.

The Sequence Esper title was well-deserved.

Gu Wenxin took a deep breath. “Maybe it really is my problem.”

Ye Yao immediately became upset.

Bang!

She slammed the table angrily.

“What are you saying!?

I fully trust your mechanism.

It’s absolutely top-notch in terms of countering. Don’t doubt yourself!”

“If you say that the person is evil, then they must be evil.

That despicable villain actually dared to possess a good person in the Countermeasures Bureau.

They already deserve death!”

Gu Wenxin was a family who could bring attribute points!

If even family couldn’t be trusted, What was the point of Found Family?

“Once we bring back our new companion, we’ll go check out that Countermeasures Bureau branch.

Whether it’s a mule or a horse, we’ll find out once we take it out for a walk ³ Idiom. Has the same meaning as “the proof of the pudding lies in eating it”. !”

Ye Yao casually decided on the next family activity.

The stern father was the Countermeasures Bureau’s top combatant.

As his daughter, she had the duty to clean the sect ⁴ 清理门户qinglimenhu means cleaning the house and throwing dirty things out, but the 门户 part can also refer to sects, so the meaning can be extended to ‘dealing with insiders who damaged the sect’s reputation’. !

Just then, the food arrived.

Ye Yao quickly hid under the table.

She crawled back out after the waiter left.

Not disturbing ordinary people was a must.

If the Countermeasures Bureau knew that Sequence 002 hid under the table, they would probably be shocked silly.

Their dignity as a powerhouse would be completely shattered.

Luckily, there were no cameras in the private room.

Mu Luo had also used his ability to completely envelop the room.

No one would know what happened inside.

Wu Mi and Xia Lian sat on either side of Ye Yao.

Both were ready to feed White Catty.

Ye Yao hadn’t realized what she was about to face yet.

She was still seriously discussing the topic.

“The main issue now is whether the person who tricked Wu Mi can evade the Countermeasures Bureau’s professional detection.”

It was true that the Countermeasures Bureau had S-rank Espers.

But who knew how many S-rank Espers were in the Sanctuary?

The trench coat man who appeared last time gave off an S-rank vibe.

There must be many crouching tigers and hidden dragons among them.

Probably quite a few troublesome entities.

It was possible that they had ways to evade the Countermeasures Bureau’s detection.

Ye Yao pondered for a moment.

“How about this. Mu Luo, you take Gu Wenxin and sneak into the Countermeasures Bureau, see who’s suspicious, then report back to me. I’ll see if I can get back at them.”

The Countermeasures Bureau is a formal institution. They can’t handle people without evidence.

Ye Yao wanted to drag the person out and beat them up.

But that might cost Sequence Zero the freedom to eat out.

Trading the mole for that would be a loss.

So, they would have to use some clever thinking.

“Then it’s settled! Wait for my signal, then sneak in.

Remember, just stay hidden and observe. It should be fine.”

With Mu Luo’s skills, he should be able to infiltrate silently.

It would be fine as long as Lou Wei and the other S-rank Espers weren’t nearby.

“Let’s eat first. I’m a bit hungry.”

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Huashen put away his drawing board. He had probably finished painting.

Ye Yao was about to grab some food to whet her appetite when Xia Lian’s chopsticks suddenly reached for her mouth.

“White Catty, wanna try this piece of fish? It’s sweet and fragrant.”

“Really?”

Ye Yao was used to being fed now.

Rеαd оn KαtRеаdіngСafе

She took a bite of the fish and savored it.

“Mmm, not bad. Freshly served food is the best.”

As soon as Ye Yao voiced her thoughts, Wu Mi extended her small, gloved hand.

“Me too, Ye Yao. Here’s some peeled crayfish.”

“Oh! Thanks, Wu Mi!”

Ye Yao was like a lazy cat.

She found foods that require deboning or shelling a bit troublesome ⁵ Same case here. I hate food with bones or shells, so I usually just eat bread. .

Sometimes, even if it was right in front of her, she wouldn’t touch it.

But if someone prepared it for her, that was different!

“After you finish Wu Mi’s, remember that there’s more here.

This crab meat is also good. I’ve removed the shell for you.”

Xia Lian’s voice was full of enjoyment.

She wasn’t very hungry.

Compared to physical satisfaction, Xia Lian cared more about mental satisfaction.

Feeding White Catty and seeing her happy expression.

That was her source of satisfaction.

Ye Yao quickly noticed.

“Wait, aren’t you guys going to eat?”

“It’s not too late to eat after feeding you.” Xia Lian smiled softly.

“What kind of crazy talk is that? Don’t just feed me! Eating together is more fun!”

The scene was harmonious.

Jiang Huashen chuckled as he watched them.

“This scene looks much more colorful than before.”

The atmosphere in the courtyard used to be lifeless.

Everyone was disconnected.

To Jiang Huashen, it was like a black-and-white painting with no vitality.

Utterly devoid of color.

Rеaⅾ оn ΚatRеаԁіոgСafе

He would rather stay in his room and hone his painting skills than to interact with the others.

But now, there was motivation to communicate.

He turned to look at Mu Luo.

“You really brought back someone full of color.”

Mu Luo leisurely picked up some food.

“Just got lucky.”

“Then you’re quite lucky.”

Ye Yao interjected.

“Did you bring money, Mu Luo? You’re not planning to dine and dash using【Dark Erosion】, are you?”

For Sequence Zero to publicly dine out, only to sneak away without paying… How embarrassing would that be?

The Countermeasures Bureau would definitely record that.

They couldn’t let the Countermeasures Bureau pay for their food.

Eating public funds shouldn’t be done like this.

Mu Luo nodded.

“There’s cash in the courtyard’s safe. I brought some.”

“I see, supported by an anonymous tycoon, is it? Then, let’s eat to our heart’s content!”

While the fission body was feasting.

The main body, who was searching for targets with Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua, also felt a bit peckish.

“Mo Qiuli, Little Luo, how about we take a break and grab some midnight snacks?”

Let’s put the magical girl activity aside for now.

Slacking off mustn’t be neglected.

It’s not too late to continue after eating our fill!
