Esper X Family – Chapter 171 – Must Love Cats Again

Inside Sequence Zero’s secret base.

Ye Yao was holding a small family meeting.

“We’re about to collaborate with the Countermeasures Bureau. We’ll need to bring a few people as representatives. What are your thoughts?”

Jiang Huashen was the first to speak up: “I’m not going.”

He would rather spend that time drawing more things.

Gu Wenxin: “I don’t care.”

‘Don’t care’ meant that he wasn’t going either.

This uncle might only be interested in bad guys.

Once they got their hands on the execution list, they would let him level up fiercely.

The goal was to make Sequence Zero have one more normal S-rank Esper.

Mu Luo had been stuck at over 4000 for so long.

Only Gu Wenxin’s leveling mechanism had a chance to surpass everyone else.

It was the traditional monster-fighting leveling route.

Ye Yao glanced at Mu Luo.

“What about you, Mu Luo?”

Mu Luo shook his head: “I’ll wait outside.”

He wasn’t suited for public appearances anyway.

He preferred dark corners.

Moreover, he had frequently clashed with the Countermeasures Bureau in the past, attracting too much hatred.

Even with Ye Yao’s backing, he didn’t plan to show up and draw attention.

Ye Yao nodded, then made a decision.

“Then it’s settled! Me, Wu Mi, and Fang Tang will be the representatives.”

Xia Lian, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly looked confused.

“White Catty, what about me? Did you forget about me?”

“I didn’t forget. You’ve been optimized out. Bad women can’t appear in formal settings.”

“How could this be! I wanna go too~”

Xia Lian let out a mournful cry.

It was a rare opportunity to legitimately enter the Countermeasures Bureau.

After all, she had been chased by them in the past.

In any case, she had to show them a thing or two.

It would definitely be satisfying.

So, Xia Lian submitted her request to go along with Ye Yao.

The response came back.

It was a firm no!

White Catty must have been worried that Xia Lian would call her “White Catty” in public and damage her dignity!

That was why she was benched.

In a fit of anger, Xia Lian decided to ignore Ye Yao for three seconds.

This bad cat must be dealt with through the cold shoulder treatment!

Wu Mi kept smiling and had no objections.

It was best if Ye Yao brought her along.

She wanted to stay by Ye Yao’s side.

If Ye Yao accidentally encountered an enemy and entered combat, breaking the cycle would be bad.

Moreover, after disappearing, Jiang Huashen’s painting would likely remain in place.

That sounded troublesome.

Therefore, Wu Mi felt that Ye Yao simply couldn’t do without her!

It was a mutual need, a journey toward each other.

“I’ll listen to Ye Yao.”

As for Fang Tang, she was slightly stunned.

“Do I have to go too? It sounds interesting, but isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”

Fang Tang wasn’t that dumb.

She had already guessed that she had been secretly brought out by Ye Yao and the others.

It seemed like they had successfully made the Sanctuary take the blame yesterday.

But Fang Tang still felt a little guilty.

Ye Yao snorted.

“Hmph, what’s inappropriate about it? It’s a good chance to show them your situation.

You stayed at the Countermeasures Bureau for so long without resolving your issues.

But as soon as you come to Sequence Zero, you can go out smoothly.

I want to let the Countermeasures Bureau know that they have no idea how to raise a little loli!”

First Wu Mi, then Luo Jianhua, and possibly even Mo Qiuli.

And then Fang Tang, who was locked up and couldn’t go out.

Just thinking about it made Ye Yao feel indignant on their behalf.

Xia Lian chimed in from the side.

“That’s right! The Countermeasures Bureau doesn’t know how to raise cats. They should’ve just let us do it from the start.”

Three seconds had passed.

She must love cats again!

“White Catty, your main body must’ve had a hard time at the Countermeasures Bureau, right?”

“Ah…”

Ye Yao suddenly stopped, stammering.

Hard…? Was it hard?

Ye Yao thought back to her life as a local tyrant.

She was protected by the strongest of the current era.

With a gentle mother who cooked delicious meals every day.

Luo Jianhua was always by her side.

And she could go wherever she wanted.

Even the magical girl activities were overlooked.

She wouldn’t get scolded for making mistakes.

Her allowance was so much that she didn’t know where to spend it.

She could play games whenever she wanted.

Lou Wei and Xiao Jing were from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Luo Jianhua was also from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Although it might have been because they valued Sequence 001 highly, it couldn’t be said that they didn’t know how to raise her at all!

“ Ahem, ahem . It’s… alright. It’s not bad.”

Ye Yao tried to change the subject.

But Xia Lian seemed to catch her hesitation.

“‘Not bad’ means it’s not good! Looks like White Catty had a hard time at the Countermeasures Bureau.

We must gather our forces again and take White Catty back from the Countermeasures Bureau!”

The corners of Ye Yao’s mouth twitched.

She was speechless.

“Well said! You go fight Lou Wei. If you knock him out, I’ll be free.”

“White Catty, can’t you fight him?”

Xia Lian blinked, her momentum dropping significantly.

Ye Yao crossed her arms, looking indifferent.

“You’re the one calling me White Catty.

I’m just a cat.

I can’t win even if I try my hardest.”

“Then, is there a chance for your main body to cooperate a little, so we can sneak you away?”

“Interesting. And then Sequence Zero becomes a bunch of sewer rats, hunted by Dayun Trucks all over the world?”

Ye Yao was left speechless.

The only way to beat Lou Wei was to have her family go and seek death.

Then, the Found Family System would activate the Family Hero mode.

Achieving a shocking leap in power that would astonish the world.

And then what?

Ye Yao’s tiny pig brain overloaded, completely unsure of how to handle the mess that would follow.

It completely went against her slacking off philosophy.

Xia Lian could only sigh softly and go draw circles in a corner.

“One circle to curse Lou Wei…

Kidnapping my cat, a heinous crime…”

Ye Yao wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Who kidnapped whose cat was uncertain.

In a way, they were all family.

What is this?

A family divide? Domestic violence?

Nighttime.

Fission body Ye Yao appeared openly at the entrance of the residential area.

Her audacity was getting bigger and bigger.

Her presence was completely unconcealed.

The security guard at the residential area was sweating bullets as he stared at the silver-haired girl outside the gate.

Rеαd oո ΚаtRеaⅾiոɡCαfe

Afraid that saying the wrong thing would lead to a misunderstanding.

This was insane.

He had seen a white-haired loli coming in and out all day from the guardhouse.

Even without knowing the specifics, he could guess that her identity was extremely prestigious.

But now, a girl who looked very similar to the white-haired girl was standing at the entrance.

The guard was also an Esper from the Countermeasures Bureau.

He had heard of some internal rumors.

It was said that the true form of Sequence 002 was a silver-haired girl with purple eyes.

Could it be this person in front of him?

The guard observed carefully.

With his A-rank strength, he couldn’t see through her at all.

Her mental power seemed unfathomable.

She was definitely Sequence 002.

Why is she here!?

The guard didn’t dare to speak or make any moves.

Without an access card, she couldn’t enter anyway.

He would wait for his superiors to handle it.

Meanwhile.

Lou Wei, who was playing games with Ye Yao, suddenly sensed something.

“I have something to deal with. Let’s pause for a moment.”

“Huh? But this game can’t be paused.”
