Esper X Family – Chapter 149 – Are You Surprised by How I Look?

Translator Note

I was hyped by the previous chapters, and I have free time today so I spawncamped the raws and grabbed my proofreader, who happened to be awake, to proofread these 2 chapters as soon as possible.

The result is a 2 hour 3 minute speedrun, with some more time spent to get everything else done, so today’s chapters are posted here within 3 hours of the CN raws.

I probably won’t do this often, but I’ll try to do this if we got to cliffhangers or hype chapters. No guarantees though.

There was still some time before lunch.

Ye Yao thought that it would be a good idea to let her fission body make an appearance at the Countermeasures Bureau.

After all, the mole who had harmed Wu Mi had been dealt with.

This gave her a perfect excuse to go and check things out.

Never mind how the fission body had found out so quickly.

The impression she wanted to give the Countermeasures Bureau was that of a master in the field of intelligence gathering.

She could just casually drop a line like, “Don’t underestimate my intelligence network” later.

Let the Countermeasures Bureau speculate on their own.

“Mu Luo, take me out for a bit. I want to make an appearance at the Countermeasures Bureau,” Ye Yao said on a whim.

Her main body was slacking off in the Countermeasures Bureau training ground.

The fission body also needed to prepare for the slacking off activities on this side.

Everything was to reduce unnecessary steps.

Of course, there was a chance that she might run into Lou Wei this time.

But Ye Yao wasn’t worried at all.

She didn’t believe that she would be warned to stay humble and cautious again!

Ye Yao glanced at the others and flashed an extremely confident smile.

“Wait for me to come back. Once I’m back, we can head out for lunch!”

The next second.

Mu Luo and Ye Yao disappeared into the ground.

Daytime might have a slight effect on Mu Luo.

But it only slowed him down a bit, nothing major at all.

In the blink of an eye.

Ye Yao leaped out of the ground, her figure shrouded in black mist.

She decided to use the black mist form one last time.

Of course, she would use her shoujo form, but she couldn’t just reveal it without any buildup.

“Mu Luo, wait around here. I’ll be back soon.”

Ye Yao slowly rose into the air, silently arriving above the Countermeasures Bureau.

Her appearance naturally caught the attention of many.

Although the black mist was able to block mental power perception, it was still easily detectable by the naked eye and technology.

Currently, Sequence Zero was in a neutral position, and Sequence 002 was still a somewhat manageable neutral entity.

The experts in the Countermeasures Bureau didn’t see her as an imminent threat.

But the Sequence 033 theft incident had just occurred.

Sequence Zero still hadn’t completely cleared its name.

Many people were on high alert.

They were afraid that another Sequence Esper might suddenly go missing.

The Countermeasures Bureau didn’t immediately send someone to negotiate.

Ye Yao was a bit puzzled, but she soon found her answer.

She was once again blown up into the sky by a gust of wind.

Every time they communicated, it seemed like they had to break through the atmosphere first.

Ye Yao’s main body was still inside the Countermeasures Bureau training ground.

A certain Dayun Truck was naturally here as well.

“Looks like you’ve forgotten what I told you. I believe I warned you not to appear near Sequence 001 again.”

Lou Wei’s cold voice reached Ye Yao’s ears.

The sense of oppression was almost at its peak, as if he was just short of adding the line: “Are you deaf?”

Even so.

Ye Yao’s mind immediately flashed back to the time she had been flattened into a cat pancake.

The line between a kind father and a stern father was razor-thin.

Ye Yao pretended to be calm, forcing herself not to show fear.

“I heard that the mole who harmed Wu Mi has been dealt with. I just came to confirm.”

Lou Wei’s eyes flickered slightly.

How long ago had that been resolved?

They hadn’t even sent the report to the Countermeasures Bureau yet.

And yet, Sequence 002 already knew about it?

Only he and Cheng Muxue knew about the mole being dealt with.

Although Ye Yao had made a key accusation, there was no way she could have known the outcome.

Where did this information come from?

It couldn’t be that Cheng Muxue was the mole, right?

Lou Wei didn’t ask where she obtained the information from, simply replying indifferently.

“Since you know, please leave. This is no place for you.”

【Lou Wei wants to continue exerting pressure on you, so that you will never dare to set your sights on Sequence 001 again.】

Ye Yao secretly pursed her lips.

If it was someone else, they might have been truly intimidated by Lou Wei.

After experiencing that overwhelming battle at sea, anyone would likely be terrified by the sheer gap in power.

For those overly confident experts, their Dao Heart ¹ Xianxia term. Basically it’s a high level belief that is the source of a powerhouse’s power, but they’re also known to be easily shattered, especially in those dog blood drama type cultivation novels. might have been completely shattered.

He was truly unmatched on the national stage.

If it was before, Ye Yao would have scurried away in fear.

But now, she had a new trump card to deal with the Dayun Truck.

Ye Yao chuckled lightly.

“In such a hurry to chase me away? Are you afraid that I’ll make a move on Sequence 001?”

Lou Wei: “?”

Still provoking?

Is Sequence 002 itching for a beating again?

Lou Wei didn’t speak, simply raising a hand as a spiraling wind sphere formed in his palm ² .

From the ground, one could even see the vortex-shaped clouds in the sky.

Many ordinary citizens exclaimed in amazement at the rare sight.

Ye Yao secretly swallowed, feeling a bit of sweat on her back.

Would the stern father really start a storm and fight here?

Please no!

I’m just here to make an appearance!

I don’t want to become a speed bump again!

In the blink of an eye.

The tearing wind sphere had arrived in front of her.

Ye Yao instantly used Attribute Fission to boost her stats and blocked it with all her might.

BOOM!

In an instant, a hole appeared in the sky.

The white clouds were all gone.

The loud noise reached the ground, almost making people think that it was thunder.

But when they looked up, there were no dark clouds above.

“This is just a warning. If you don’t leave, I’ll kill you again.”

Clearly, Lou Wei wasn’t serious.

This move was just a symbolic act to drive Sequence 002 away.

This sentence was the final warning.

The terrifying force hit the black mist body, but it didn’t cause her to disappear on the spot.

It was normal for her to withstand it.

Lou Wei knew this well.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have been qualified to rise to Sequence 002.

But Lou Wei didn’t expect what happened next.

The earlier storm seemed to have caused significant damage to the black mist.

The impenetrable, thick black mist became much thinner.

One could even vaguely see what was hidden inside.

Lou Wei’s expression showed a moment of surprise.

With his powerful dynamic vision and super-high-speed thinking, he had already memorized all the information in that short time.

Silver-white hair, purple eyes, and the face of a young girl.

Rеad оո КаtReαⅾiոgСαfе

Why did this face look so familiar!?

The intelligence department of the Countermeasures Bureau had always considered the specific information about Sequence 002 as their ultimate research topic.

After all, such a mysterious and powerful figure had practically appeared overnight.

From a nobody to Sequence 008, and after a battle with Lou Wei, they had advanced to Sequence 002.

Such a person couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air.

Unless they had been quietly accumulating power for a long time.

But even then, there should have been some traces left in the world.

Yet, the Countermeasures Bureau had used vast resources and found nothing.

Many believed that Sequence 002 might be from overseas, with a sensitive identity.

Otherwise, why would they refuse to show their face?

Lou Wei had also speculated about Sequence 002’s appearance.

He had thought that they might be a young, brash man.

Or perhaps a burly man of similar age.

But he had never expected Sequence 002’s true form to be a young girl!

And this face looked so much like Ye Yao!

She gave Lou Wei the feeling of an older Ye Yao.

With the same hair and eye color, Lou Wei wouldn’t believe that there was no blood relation between them!

“…You!”

The ever-composed Lou Wei finally lost his calm.

“Oh? You saw it? Then I won’t bother hiding anymore.”

Ye Yao waved her hand, dispersing all the black mist as her calm eyes fixed on Lou Wei.

“Are you surprised by how I look?”
