Esper X Family – Chapter 134 – Wow, Such a Big Ice Cream!

【Luo Jianhua does not know, but she can use her privileges to check the results for you.

Checking important classified information might leave a record and draw attention.

However, as long as you give the word, she will give it a try.】

Luo Jianhua’s eyes were expressive.

She stared directly into Ye Yao’s eyes.

Her gaze seemed to contain unspoken meanings.

【Luo Jianhua knows that you can read her mind and hopes to communicate these overly sensitive matters this way.】

This kind of mental openness was something Ye Yao admired.

She was quite impressed that Luo Jianhua had grown accustomed to it.

Ah, it’s all my fault for being too charming.

As for the semi-coercive recruitment she did in the early days…

Did such a thing ever happen?

Absolutely not!

“If you don’t know, then forget it.”

Leaving a record of the inquiry would be quite risky.

If Sequence 033 suddenly disappeared, suspicion might fall on Luo Jianhua.

And if Luo Jianhua was suspected, Ye Yao would be implicated as well.

How could she keep pretending to be an obedient girl then?

Ye Yao didn’t think that the current situation allowed for complete honesty.

Now was the time to activate her super brain.

Ye Yao looked around, observing the environment.

She suddenly noticed a few conspicuous signs.

“Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out”

“Use of Abilities is Prohibited Here”

What did “use of abilities is prohibited” mean?

It sounded like a strongly emphasized statement.

Most Espers within the Countermeasures Bureau understood the rules.

Rеαⅾ оո KatReαⅾіոgСαfе

They naturally knew that abilities shouldn’t be used casually.

But now, there was a sign specifically emphasizing this.

Something was clearly off.

Ye Yao compared the distance between the training ground and the restricted zone.

“It’s quite far.”

She fell into deep thought.

【Resonance】

From the name, it could be understood as the “resonance ¹ The Resonance in Fang Tang’s ability is 共鸣gongming, while the one mentioned here is 共振gongzhen. The former can mean both resonance (physics) and resonance as in a sympathetic response. The one mentioned here, 共振, is strictly resonance in physics. ” in physics.

One soundwave affects another object, emphasizing a strong connection.

Moreover, Fang Tang had been dragged into the world of cycles from the restricted zone.

What did that mean?

One should know that even Mu Luo had to struggle for a long time to break through the restricted zone’s barrier.

Yet, when Wu Mi went berserk with her 3,900 mental power, it affected her through the barrier.

That didn’t make sense.

When Ye Yao was breaking the cycles in the world of cycles, she hadn’t encountered any other possible Sequence Espers.

So, the problem should lie in Fang Tang.

Connecting this to the “use of abilities is prohibited” sign…

Perhaps others using their abilities could easily bypass the barrier and affect Fang Tang?

Ye Yao couldn’t help but think this way.

If that was the case, the principle of the sound transmission should be easy to understand.

Fang Tang’s mental power might have the trait of ignoring obstacles.

Or perhaps it was a resonance specific to certain things.

Combined with the underlying logic that strong mental power can easily influence weaker mental power…

Fang Tang’s mental power could easily break through a person’s body and resonate with their internal mental power.

That was how she could hear Fang Tang’s thoughts.

Thinking this, Ye Yao suddenly wanted to test an idea.

“Little Luo, is the activation condition of your ability limited to making people see you first?”

Reαԁ оո ΚαtRеαⅾingСаfe

“Not at all. That’s just a way to save mental power. It can also catch people off guard, giving the illusion that no ability was used when, in fact, they’ve already fallen for it.

Even if there’s an obstacle, I can still activate the effect of【Eyes Obscured by a Single Leaf】.

It’s just that the effect will be weaker, and the mental power fluctuations might be detected by stronger Espers.”

Luo Jianhua explained her ability without holding back.

If it could only be activated after the enemy saw her, it would be far too weak.

“Then, can you try making me see an ice cream now?”

Ye Yao grabbed Luo Jianhua’s hand, looking eager to try.

“N-Now? Here?”

Luo Jianhua looked somewhat confused.

She had, of course, seen the sign as well.

Willfully breaking the rules was too much of a violation of discipline.

It didn’t fit with her image as the Countermeasures Bureau’s number one genius.

“Yes, just one moment, just a tiiiiny moment. Just one second is enough. Remember to use the method of dispersing mental power.”

“O-Okay then.”

Luo Jianhua reluctantly agreed.

After all, it was Ye Yao’s request. How could she refuse?

Besides, the higher-ups had said to keep Ye Yao happy.

Making a small mistake here shouldn’t be a big deal, right?

Now that she thought about it, she had almost forgotten her title as the number one genius, the “Rising Star”.

No training, no improving her mental power, staying out of the public eye.

What was the image of the number one genius again?

Now, she should only be Ye Yao’s little sister.

“Eyes Obscured by a Single Leaf.”

Luo Jianhua activated her ability in an instant, causing a faint mental power ripple to spread out.

Ye Yao soon saw a gigantic ice cream appear in her field of vision.

The next second.

A familiar exclamation echoed in her mind as expected.

Reаԁ oո KαtReаⅾіոgСαfе

“Wow! Such a big ice cream!”

Good, confirmed!

So that’s how it is.

Ye Yao had thought of a way to sneak Fang Tang out.

Before Ye Yao could rejoice for more than a few seconds, a stern voice interrupted her thoughts.

“What are you two doing here? Was that mental power fluctuation from you?”

A fierce-looking guard walked over, clearly drawn by the mental power ripple Luo Jianhua had released.

“Didn’t you see the warning sign? The use of abilities is prohibited here!”

Ye Yao blinked her eyes, completely unflustered.

“I just got here, I didn’t know, I didn’t see it.”

Luo Jianhua also played along, lying through her teeth.

“I-I forgot.”

She had never done anything like this before.

Luo Jianhua suddenly realized that Ye Yao might have thoroughly corrupted her.

Things that she wouldn’t have dared to think or do before, she was now doing without hesitation.

“Who’s your supervisor?”

Seeing that they were just two young girls, the guard softened his tone.

If they were adults, he would have already detained them.

“We only know her as Ms. Yang,” Ye Yao replied.

“Do you have her contact information? I need to inform her so that she can educate you. Some rules absolutely cannot be broken.”

Ye Yao obediently provided the contact information, smoothly reciting a string of numbers.

After finishing, she quickly covered her mouth.

“Wait, that’s wrong. That’s my father’s number.”

Perhaps she had subconsciously wanted to stir up some trouble by giving Lou Wei’s number.

But she, Ye Yao, was a law-abiding citizen!

She absolutely didn’t mean to cause mischief!

After confirming the supervisor, the guard nodded.

Reaⅾ оո КаtReαⅾіnɡCafе

“You can go. This isn’t a place for you to linger. Don’t come here again.”

“Mhm! We promise we won’t come back.”

Ye Yao nodded repeatedly, putting on an act of obedience.

Was there even a need for her main body to come back here?

Absolutely not!

Tonight, her fission body would come to “pick up” the pink-haired girl.

Then, this restricted zone would lose its value!

After all, Ye Yao only cared about Fang Tang. She wasn’t like Mu Luo, who was obsessed with all contained innate Sequence Espers.

Meanwhile, Ms. Yang received a call from the restricted zone guard, informing her of Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua’s actions.

“Yes, I’ll make sure to emphasize the rules to them.”

Ms. Yang didn’t mention their special status to the guard.

After a brief response, she ended the call.

Now, Ms. Yang was puzzled.

“Why were they near the restricted zone?

Luo Jianhua should know to avoid that area.

Could it be that Ye Yao’s curiosity got the better of her?”

After some thought, it seemed likely.

Ye Yao must have heard Sequence 033’s voice while passing by, sparking her curiosity about the restricted zone.

It shouldn’t be a big deal.

She’ll likely forget about it soon.
