Esper X Family – Chapter 165 – White Catty’s Reaction Speed Is Seven Times That of a Human

Ye Yao and the others returned to the courtyard.

They also picked up some late-night snacks on the way back.

Mu Luo placed the snacks on the stone table in the front yard and fetched a few stools.

This way, everyone could sit together and celebrate.

Ye Yao sealed her shoujo form into the scroll.

Reverting to her silver-haired ¹ It’s silver here for some reason. little loli.

It gave off the vibe of stripping down to just underwear after a scorching summer day.

Ye Yao opened a can of cola and raised it high, looking very pleased.

“This is to celebrate Fang Tang no longer having to crawl in the darkness, cheers!”

““Cheers!””

Wu Mi and Fang Tang cooperatively raised their glasses of juice and clinked them together.

The scene of the three lolis together was quite picturesque.

The others raised their glasses perfunctorily, not as excited as Ye Yao.

Xia Lian stared at the juice in her hand with regret.

“If only it was alcohol, then maybe I could pretend to be drunk and sneak into White Catty’s room.”

Usually, she didn’t have a legitimate reason to stay in White Catty’s room.

If she could sneak in under the guise of being drunk, perhaps Ye Yao would let her stay the night.

Unfortunately.

Ye Yao seemed to have anticipated this.

The drinks they bought were all juice and soda.

Nothing alcoholic was in sight.

Even Mu Luo and the others had to sit at the kids’ table, drinking juice and soda.

Xia Lian’s words reached Ye Yao’s ears.

The white-haired girl couldn’t help but let out a light “hmph.”

“If you barge into my room reeking of alcohol, I might just throw you out.”

Ye Yao had never touched alcohol in her previous life.

She despised the smell of liquor.

Every time she attended a banquet, she sat at the kids’ table.

After all, she had seen plenty of people acting foolish from drunkenness.

“Alcohol is absolutely out of the question. I hate the smell of liquor.”

Xia Lian stroked her chin, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“Does that mean if I sneak in normally, you won’t throw me out?”

“If you insist on doing that, then you’ll have to sleep under the bed.”

Ye Yao had no intention of letting another person crowd her bed.

Especially not the cat lover Xia Lian, who was a bit too handsy for her liking.

“So heartless,” Xia Lian pouted pitifully.

“It’s called self-preservation.”

Ye Yao nibbled on a skewer as she tallied up tonight’s gains.

The family activity had earned her 2 attribute points.

Her current unallocated attribute points totaled 12.

Ye Yao first allocated 10 points to her mental power.

Her mental power rose from 115 to 125 ² 125 × 125 = 15,625 .

Another decent boost.

Now, Ye Yao had a clear goal.

While slacking off, she would slowly increase her mental power to the point where she could take on the stern father.

But even after fission, 125 still couldn’t hold a candle to Lou Wei.

She could only keep crawling forward bit by bit.

Gu Wenxin had also made some gains.

Although he only took down one person this time.

His mental power had increased by nearly a hundred points.

Casually surpassing Ye Yao’s gains.

Perhaps berserk state villains would provide Gu Wenxin with even more experience.

If he had taken down Sequence 066 and the other one.

His mental power might have broken through the 3,000 mark.

Too bad Xia Lian was a bit clueless.

Ye Yao also wanted to try using someone as a speed bump in battle.

She had to admit that setting off that firework was exhilarating.

Many people in the city were probably startled.

Who knows if they were cursing.

But Ye Yao remained humble and low-key.

Only the Countermeasures Bureau knew about it.

Aside from that, they had also gained two spoils of war.

Ye Yao glanced at Mu Luo.

“Mu Luo, bring out those two flames. Make sure you’re ready to seal them at any moment.”

“Mm.”

With a slight wave of Mu Luo’s hand.

Two black spheres gradually grew from the ground.

As a small opening appeared, revealing the scene inside.

Two flames burned within the Dark Erosion containers.

Even without fuel or oxygen, they had never extinguished.

The expressions of those present turned grave.

Gu Wenxin’s reaction was particularly intense.

His eyes were ice-cold.

He hadn’t fully exited his combat state from the battlefield.

Now, he immediately re-entered it.

It was a stark contrast to his earlier calm demeanor.

Even Jiang Huashen, who was sitting beside him, could feel the chilling aura.

“Pure evil.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Yao quietly observed the two flames.

She was pondering their potential uses.

When they executed Sequence 096, they had also found a flame, which was later retrieved by the mysterious man in trench coat.

It seemed that these flames were extremely important to the Sanctuary.

Perhaps they were crucial resources for some plan.

Right now, these two purple things were lying quietly within the Dark Erosion containers.

Apart from Gu Wenxin who could sense their evil aura, the others didn’t notice much.

Ye Yao stroked her chin.

“These are likely some kind of ability construct, capable of causing Espers to go berserk and lose control.”

Xia Lian pulled Wu Mi and Fang Tang aside, keeping the two little ones away from these sinister objects.

Ye Yao didn’t need to.

She was the invincible White Catty.

White Catty’s reaction speed was seven times that of a human ³ A cat’s reaction speed is 20-70 ms, around 7 times compared to a human’s 150-300 ms. .

If anything happened, she would instantly puff up and transform into “World Catty” to protect everyone.

If even “World Catty” couldn’t handle it.

Perhaps “God Catty” would appear.

A hint of wariness flashed in Mu Luo’s eyes.

“These things are dangerous.”

The flames could not only make Espers go berserk but also significantly boost their mental power.

More intense and extreme than regular berserk states.

Regular berserk states usually occurred in immature Espers.

Typically, it only involved their emotion or ability going out of control, resulting in a brief surge of mental power.

After returning to normal, they would just feel a bit weak.

At worst, they might suffer some minor aftereffects.

But the berserk state induced by these flames was clearly different.

It forcibly broke human limits.

Completely stripping away reason.

Abilities were unleashed without restraint.

Leaving only the instincts of destruction and slaughter.

Once the berserk state ended, death was certain.

Treating humans as disposable fuel.

Ye Yao felt that there must be more to it.

Rеαԁ oո КαtRеаdіոɡСаfe

“It must have other uses, or the Sanctuary won’t bother retrieving it.”

While eavesdropping on Sequence 066 and the others.

She had overheard some information about the Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary likely treated these high-risk Sequence Espers as mere laborers.

It seemed that they had to do evil deeds to increase their value.

Perhaps these flames were related to such evil deeds.

After the battle with Sequence 096.

The flame that emerged from his corpse wasn’t as faint as these.

Its color was deeper.

His out-of-control ability had already caused numerous deaths before.

It was likely related to that.

Plus, Gu Wenxin could sense an evil aura from it.

He even called it ‘pure evil’.

Carrying this flame while committing evil deeds might yield unexpected results.

Ye Yao suddenly thought of something.

These flames might be able to collect the ‘evil’ generated during such acts.

Materializing ‘evil’ and absorbing it to grow.

The Sanctuary would then retrieve these flames to achieve some purpose.

Ye Yao felt that she had figured out the Sanctuary’s underlying logic!

“That must be it!”

So, what should they do with these two purple things?

Ye Yao glanced at Gu Wenxin.

“Gu Wenxin, see if you can use them as EXP boosts.”
