Esper X Family – Chapter 183 – Act According to the Circumstances

The night market was a cacophony of vendors’ calls and sizzling sounds.

The brightly lit area was filled with people jostling against each other, and the aromas of various snacks wafted through the air.

Ye Yao led Sequence Zero to the night market first.

The other side had just left home, their route still undecided, unlike this group with a clear destination.

Eventually, all three girls would arrive at the night market.

Since Sequence Zero had arrived first, could Lou Wei really drive them away?

And the Dayun Truck couldn’t possibly step in to change the trio’s route.

He could only watch as the two groups accidentally crossed paths.

Unfortunately, Lou Wei’s side already knew that Ye Tong wouldn’t easily meet Ye Yao.

Otherwise, things could have been even more exciting.

The silver-haired girl strolled through the night market with a relaxed demeanor.

The surroundings were lively.

Although not to the point of being overcrowded, it was still bustling enough that one could easily bump into passersby if not careful.

Then, Ye Yao spotted a vendor selling Tanghulu ¹ Candied fruits. Traditionally hawthorn but they use all kinds of small fruits nowadays. and her eyes lit up as she approached.

Despite being a young woman, she still acted with childlike enthusiasm.

To others, it added a touch of adorable charm.

Anyone who knew her true identity would absolutely refuse to believe that this was the formidable Sequence 002.

She was nothing like this at the Countermeasures Bureau.

“Shop owner! Seven sticks, all strawberries ² .”

“Sure! Just a moment!”

The girl then took out her newly purchased phone.

After receiving the Countermeasures Bureau’s issued card, Ye Yao acted with lightning speed.

She bought a phone, registered an account, and linked the card.

Previously, she had avoided carrying anything like a phone to prevent being tracked by the Bureau.

Now, she naturally did whatever was convenient.

Carrying cash around in this day and age was just too inconvenient.

Ye Yao returned with the Tanghulus and handed one to each person.

When she gave one to Xia Lian, her expression turned sour.

“Here, your alms.”

Although the cat abuser hadn’t dropped any attribute points, Ye Yao wasn’t one to be materialistic.

Whether it was glory or candied strawberries, Xia Lian would naturally get her share.

Of course, it would be better if she could stop being so touchy-feely.

Xia Lian’s eyes sparkled, deeply moved.

Look.

Even though she’s still puffing up, she still set aside past grievances and offered a gift.

Isn’t this the ultimate good cat?

If Xia Lian didn’t give her a pat now, she would be letting down cat lovers everywhere!

“Thank you, White Catty! Let me hug you as thanks!”

“Hiss!”

Ye Tong dodged Xia Lian’s embrace with a swift movement.

She repeated her earlier tactic, shielding herself behind Wu Mi and Fang Tang.

Despite being a tall girl, she hid behind two petite ones.

This odd behavior couldn’t help but draw amused glances from passersby.

“Don’t do such shameless things in public! You might not care about your dignity, but I do!”

“Don’t be shy~”

Xia Lian didn’t press further and started enjoying the candied strawberries Ye Yao had given her.

Perhaps because they were from White Catty, they tasted especially sweet.

Her satisfied smile alone drew the attention of many onlookers.

Ye Yao almost forgot that Xia Lian was also a beauty.

Not as stunning as her grown-up self, of course.

Mu Luo and the others held a Tanghulu, which didn’t quite match their appearances.

This was clearly a treat for children.

Three grown men holding them was a bit incongruous.

But in the end, it was still food.

Jiang Huashen bit into one like he was eating a skewer.

“Not bad.”

“A bit too sweet.”

Gu Wenxin didn’t seem to have a sweet tooth.

“It’s coated in syrup, after all.”

Mu Luo finished his in a few bites, leaving no waste.

Lou Wei calmly observed the scene from above, detecting nothing unusual.

They really did seem to be enjoying the nightlife.

The silver-haired girl, in particular, displayed a demeanor quite different from her usual self at the Countermeasures Bureau.

Her every move matched her apparent age.

She probably only showed her cold side to people from the Bureau.

Lou Wei turned his gaze to the other side.

The route of the three girls was clear.

Tonight, Mo Qiuli hadn’t taken the other two on patrol.

Instead, it seemed like they were just out for fun.

That was more fitting for their age.

Patrolling everywhere was just too abstract.

However, Lou Wei soon noticed something odd about their route.

They seemed to be heading this way.

He glanced at the area below.

There was only a commercial square and a night market street worth visiting.

And the night market was where Sequence Zero was currently gathered.

At the moment, they showed no intention of leaving.

“Is this a coincidence?”

Lou Wei narrowed his eyes, watching the girl darting around the night market.

She was still buying various treats for her companions.

As if she hadn’t noticed the other group approaching.

Was that possible?

Ye Tong was undoubtedly an S-rank Esper.

With just a slight sense, she could detect her younger sister’s approach.

She could’ve avoided her in advance.

But judging by her current state, she probably wouldn’t lead her group away.

“What are you planning?”

Unfortunately, only Lou Wei was watching this scene.

If the other decision makers knew, they would be full of questions.

Although they intended to let Ye Yao gradually learn of her sister’s existence, a sudden meeting was far too hasty.

Such a move, which could disrupt plans and stability, would only give people high blood pressure.

But currently, Lou Wei was the only one handling this matter.

He fell into thought.

Logically, he should go down and remind Sequence Zero to leave.

But that might play right into Ye Tong’s hands.

Lou Wei had figured it out by now.

Ye Tong had plenty of mischievous ideas.

The exact opposite of her younger sister.

If he went down to remind them now, it might provoke her rebellious side.

Things could get even more complicated instead.

As for Ye Yao’s side, he couldn’t interfere at all.

Lou Wei would only ensure their safety, not meddle in their activities.

If Ye Yao and her group’s destination was indeed this night market.

There was a high chance that they would run into each other.

After some thought, Lou Wei decided to remain an observer.

If he intervened, he might just become a part of the game.

In a way, this was Lou Wei’s “trust” in Ye Tong.

Before he knew it.

Ye Yao, along with Luo Jianhua and Mo Qiuli, arrived at the night market’s entrance.

“Let’s have a good time here tonight. We’ll head back after we’re full.”

“It’s so lively.”

Luo Jianhua couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ye Yao, on the other hand, was quite pleased with the night market’s atmosphere.

“It’s better when it’s lively. It has a sense of human warmth. I wouldn’t want to visit if it weren’t.”

Unlike the other two, Mo Qiuli was still unused to crowded places.

She was afraid of getting lost in the bustling street.

But with Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua by her side, the discomfort wasn’t too severe.

“Don’t just stand at the entrance. Let’s go in, quick!”

Ye Yao held a loli in each hand as she plunged into the crowd.

It wouldn’t be long before they bumped into the other group.

Lou Wei looked down from above.

In a straight line, the two groups were only a few hundred meters apart.

These few hundred meters was practically nothing for powerful Espers.

Lou Wei decided to act according to the circumstances.
