Esper X Family – Chapter 154 – It’s Over! Am I Going to Be Exposed?

Ye Yao sat on the sofa, looking around but not seeing Lou Wei’s figure anywhere.

There wasn’t even a trace of him on the balcony.

He was probably next door pretending to go to work.

She had originally wanted to see how the Countermeasures Bureau would react after the fission body revealed the girl’s true appearance.

But Xiao Jing should be able to find out right away, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Yao shifted her gaze to Xiao Jing, who was busy with household chores.

【Xiao Jing is struggling with how to subtly probe your thoughts about your sister.】

Ye Yao’s spirits lifted.

She knew it.

It seems that the Countermeasures Bureau has already concluded that Sequence 002 is her long-lost sister.

The result wasn’t exactly surprising to Ye Yao.

As for how they would respond…

Ye Yao had already figured it out through Xiao Jing’s thoughts.

They were going to test her feelings first.

They probably wanted to know how important her biological sister was to her.

If she showed concern, the Countermeasures Bureau would likely reassess their attitude toward Sequence 002.

If she showed indifference…

The Countermeasures Bureau would probably feel more at ease.

After all, if even a blood relative couldn’t affect Ye Yao’s state, what could possibly make her lose control?

Ye Yao definitely couldn’t let the Countermeasures Bureau have their way!

If she acted indifferent, wouldn’t that be the same as cutting ties with her fission body?

When the fission body continued to hiss at Dayun Truck, it might get crushed into a cat pancake by violent means again.

Ye Yao just wanted to win once.

Even if she lost, she wanted to leave a whole corpse at least.

She absolutely had to make the strict father go easy on her other self!

Ye Yao began to think about how she should respond once Xiao Jing brought up the topic.

There was no need to rush.

Rеаⅾ оո КαtRеаԁіոɡСαfе

After all, Xiao Jing wouldn’t come and probe her so quickly.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

It was probably Cheng Muxue.

Ye Yao got up to open the door.

Standing at the entrance was indeed her aunt, who was carrying a large bag of fruit.

“Long time no see, little Ye Yao~ Did you miss your aunt?”

“Of course, I miss you a lot.”

Ye Yao didn’t immediately check Cheng Muxue’s thoughts.

Instead, she focused her attention on the fruits she had brought.

She had just eaten lunch at the Countermeasures Bureau’s cafeteria.

Some post-meal fruit sounded great right now.

Cheng Muxue smiled and handed the fruit to Ye Yao.

“You look so eager, go ahead and wash them to eat. These are for you and Little Jianhua.”

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Ye Yao eagerly took the grapes and strawberries to the sink to wash them.

After a quick rinse, she brought them to the tea table in the living room.

“Mom, come eat some fruit.”

“Save some for me, I’ll eat after I finish my work.”

“Mm, okay.”

Seeing that Xiao Jing was still struggling with how to broach the subject, Ye Yao decided not to disturb her.

Thinking too much must be exhausting~

Unlike her, who often emptied her mind, never letting herself get tired.

Ye Yao popped a strawberry into her mouth.

The sweet and sour flavor instantly stimulated her taste buds.

It was absolutely delicious.

This post-meal fruit had put Ye Yao in a particularly relaxed mood.

Luo Jianhua was also enjoying the fruit while occasionally picking up the grape to feed Ye Yao, seemingly savoring the process.

Rеaⅾ οո КаtRеαdіոgСαfe

Only Cheng Muxue, who had brought the fruit, hadn’t touched any yet.

Ye Yao immediately gave her a questioning look.

“Auntie, why aren’t you eating? Don’t you like it?”

Cheng Muxue smiled and shook her head, not answering the question directly. Instead, she changed the subject.

“Little Ye Yao, can we talk in your room later?”

Ye Yao: “?”

The white-haired loli tilted her head in confusion, curiously glancing at Cheng Muxue’s thoughts.

【Cheng Muxue suspects that you are the mysterious entity that had intruded into the mind network and is preparing to probe you.】

Opening thunderstrike ¹ Term for shocking opening remarks that hook you into the content of a media. Origin is from Kancolle, where some submarines can be equipped with Type A Kouhyouteki that grants a pre-emptive torpedo attack. “Torpedo” is called 鱼雷yulei (literally fish lightning), so the “pre-emptive torpedo attack” got shortened to “opening thunderstrike”. By the way, this is what Type A Kouhyouteki looks like. !

Ye Yao no longer found the strawberries tasty.

Xiao Jing wanted to probe her feelings about her “older sister”.

And now, Cheng Muxue was going to probe her about the possibility of her intruding into the mind network.

Everyone has a bright future!

Only Ye Yao was panicking inside.

Am I going to be exposed?

But no matter how panicked she was inside, Ye Yao had to keep her composure on the surface.

“Sure, we can go now.”

The white-haired loli nodded, showing no signs of cracking.

With that, she took out a small plate and divided some strawberries and grapes to take to her room.

She left the rest in the living room for Lou Wei and Xiao Jing.

After preparing everything, Ye Yao got up and headed to her room.

Cheng Muxue followed closely behind.

Just as Luo Jianhua was about to follow as well, Cheng Muxue turned back and signaled for her to wait in the living room.

“I need to talk with Little Ye Yao alone.”

“Huh…? Okay…”

Luo Jianhua could only sit back on the sofa, unsure of what Cheng Muxue meant.

What topic required her to be excluded?

Rеad οո KаtReaⅾіոɡСаfе

Could it be that Cheng Muxue had noticed something unusual about her sister?

Is Sister going to be exposed?

Luo Jianhua’s mood instantly became tense.

She started worrying for Ye Yao.

If Cheng Muxue was still standing here, she might have noticed Luo Jianhua’s emotional fluctuations.

But she had already followed Ye Yao into the room.

The door was shut tightly.

Unless she pressed her ear against the door, she wouldn’t hear a thing.

Luo Jianhua could only silently pray for Ye Yao.

She thought that the current situation was fine.

She hoped that the peaceful daily life wouldn’t be disrupted.

Inside the room.

Ye Yao placed the plate of fruit on the small table.

She obediently sat down and crossed her legs, her curious gaze fixed on Cheng Muxue.

“Auntie, what did you want to talk about?”

Cheng Muxue had made sure that Lou Wei wouldn’t use his mental power to intrude into Ye Yao’s room before making up her mind.

“Little Ye Yao, before I left last time, you told me your little secret.

This time, Auntie will tell you her little secret.”

Ye Yao recalled.

Last time, she had indeed mentioned something trivial for the sake of attribute points.

It was probably about how she possessed mysterious powers.

She hadn’t expected Cheng Muxue to use that as her opening.

“Sure, go ahead, Auntie.”

Cheng Muxue took a deep breath, not constructing a mind network.

Nor did she attempt to use her ability to read mind.

Rеаⅾ оn ΚαtRеаⅾіnɡCаfe

“Actually, I also have powers similar to yours. To be precise, we are both Espers.”

“Wow.”

Ye Yao didn’t show too much surprise.

After all, she had seen the world.

She had even eaten at the Countermeasures Bureau’s base.

Cheng Muxue didn’t stop and continued explaining on her own.

“My ability is similar to pulling people into a mysterious place, where I can make them speak their minds or have secret conversations with others.

Normally, no one can sneak in to eavesdrop without my permission.

But when I visited your home last time, I noticed that a mysterious entity seemed to have silently slipped in.

At first, I thought that it was just my imagination, but then I realized that it wasn’t that simple.”

Ye Yao was starting to sweat.

Her main body remained calm here.

But all the panic reactions were happening in her fission body.

A clear division of labor, with no inequality at all.

Right now, the fission body was rolling around on the bed.

Constantly muttering, “Oh no, it’s over!” again and again.

It almost made Xia Lian think that Ye Yao had been possessed by a possessed cow cat ² Yeah, there are two words for “possessed” here. Anyway, cow cats are very active cats that are also known as the “husky of the cat world”. They’re called cow cats because they have black and white fur like cows. .

After Cheng Muxue finished explaining, she looked at Ye Yao.

Her expression was quite serious.

“I want to know if that mysterious entity is you, Little Ye Yao?”

Author Note

Perhaps the word count has reached a threshold, and now I’ve noticed a lot of new readers lately. I didn’t expect that it’s actually because they’re on autumn break. Also, I’ve noticed that quite a few people are sick. It’s easy to get sick when the seasons change, so everyone should remember to take care of yourselves!
