Esper X Family – Chapter 197 – The Deafening Sound of Flipping Pages

Ye Yao had underestimated the speed of the Dayun Truck’s evolution.

She couldn’t fathom how Lou Wei, who didn’t have a system, had managed to break through human limits.

A base mental power above ten thousand.

And now this leap of one or two thousand.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but exclaim that he was cheating.

She began to recall Lou Wei’s recent actions.

There didn’t seem to be anything particularly special about them.

He usually just floated in the sky, acting like a guardian deity.

He hadn’t experienced any actual combat.

If there was anything she was unaware of, it was probably only when he was asleep that Lou Wei could squeeze in some time.

Ye Yao’s mind raced.

Such a rapid increase in mental power was definitely strange.

Esper abilities could only be improved through combat breakthroughs, meditation epiphanies, or equipment assistance.

Of course, there were also other unorthodox methods.

For instance, Gu Wenxin’s mechanism of eliminating evil allowed him to gain a significant amount of EXP.

Even in battles that were completely one-sided, there were still gains.

Not long ago, Ye Yao had come across another obscure method of enhancement while browsing the Countermeasures Bureau forum.

It was a special drug developed by some researchers.

The method was commonly referred to as “doping”.

This method could also lead to a rapid increase in mental power.

As for whether there were side effects, that was another matter.

In any case, the combat power was enhanced.

Lou Wei’s improvement likely had nothing to do with such methods.

Eliminating those ineffective methods, the only remaining possibility was meditation epiphany.

Ye Yao suddenly realized.

Lou Wei must’ve been secretly grinding while she was asleep!

It could also be a unique cultivation method similar to Gu Wenxin’s.

She had noticed that the wind outside seemed unusually strong during her sleep these past few days.

It turned out to be Lou Wei’s “sound of flipping pages ¹ In Ye Yao’s words, he’s like a roommate who is secretly studying. ”!

No.

This was making her anxious.

Ye Yao was considering whether to have Jiang Huashen, who had just left, turn back.

Perhaps they could repeat the old trick and have him paint a disguise with a value of twenty thousand.

However, burning a fake painting probably wouldn’t work anymore.

Only burning a real painting could shatter Jiang Huashen’s Dao heart.

However, Ye Yao abandoned the idea after some thought.

Better not torment poor Old Jiang.

She wasn’t the type of parent who would smash their child’s figurines.

Will the black mist skill experience a resurgence?

Ye Yao’s mind was in turmoil.

She decided to put the matter aside for now.

At worst, she could keep her fission body away from the Dayun Truck.

In any case, Wu Mi and Fang Tang already had legitimate reasons and means to visit her main body.

It wouldn’t be a problem for them to come over every day, like Mo Qiuli did.

Lou Wei certainly wouldn’t object.

Neither would the other higher-ups in the Countermeasures Bureau.

After all, Ye Yao liked it that way.

Ye Yao readjusted her mindset.

She was a master of slacking off.

How could she let a hardcore grinder disrupt her rhythm?

Eat, drink, and live comfortably. That was her way.

Other tasks could be left to her fission body.

【Lou Wei has ordered someone to deliver the purple flame to headquarters. It contains spatial power and might require Fu Qi’s intervention to unravel its mysteries.】

While playing a game, Ye Yao used her peripheral vision to read the thoughts above Lou Wei’s head.

She hadn’t expected that the spoils she had obtained from the high-risk Sequence Espers would actually yield insights.

Soon, Lou Wei’s thoughts began to diverge.

Ye Yao picked up more and more fragmented information from him.

Among them were updates on Sequence Zero and Cheng Muxue’s progress.

They seemed to be progressing well.

The rest was too complicated, and Ye Yao’s head ached just looking at it, so she focused on her game instead.

After dinner, the fission body had prepared some basic necessities for the new home.

Even staying overnight wouldn’t be a problem.

“Mm! Tonight, we’ll stay here and not go back.”

Ye Tong made the decision casually.

Whoever wanted to return to that distant residence in the suburbs could do so.

She couldn’t be bothered to make the trip.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang had no objections.

In the new residence, things were the same as before.

No matter where they were, they wanted to stay close to Ye Yao.

Going back or not didn’t make much of a difference.

Unfortunately, there was one inconvenience for Ye Tong.

She couldn’t remove her disguise.

Once the disguise was off, Lou Wei might notice something unusual with a single glance.

Even sleeping might require maintaining Ye Tong’s appearance.

Moreover, with Lou Wei currently in a suspected growth phase, he would eventually see through the disguise.

It was better to lay low for now.

“Wu Mi, Fang Tang, I’ll be leaving for a while.

You can invite Ye Yao over, or visit her place. No one will bother you.”

Ye Tong spoke seriously.

It sounded a bit cryptic.

Wu Mi blinked, quickly understanding her meaning.

“Okay.”

Ye Yao and Ye Tong were the same person.

Since they could now interact with the main body, the fission body was somewhat liberated.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang could go and stick close to the main body.

The two lolis from Sequence Zero could be entrusted to the Countermeasures Bureau.

Suddenly, Wu Mi thought of something.

“If we stay here overnight, what about Xia Lian?”

Ye Tong glanced out the window.

The sun had completely set.

“Xia Lian? Irrelevant.”

Leaving the cat lover aside for now shouldn’t be a problem.

The night settled like velvet curtains, swallowing the scenery of the front and back gardens, leaving only faint outlines.

The spacious room, located deep within the mansion, felt unusually empty and quiet.

There were no lights illuminating the room.

The only light came from the moonlight streaming through the window.

The moonlight cast faint shadows on the polished surface of the table.

It also illuminated the slender figure curled up on the bed.

The girl sat casually, her knees together.

A sheet imbued with the scent of someone close covered her from head to toe.

As if she was embracing it.

“When will White Catty come back?”

Xia Lian idly gazed out the window.

There was no obvious sadness or anxiety on her face.

Only an intense focus.

Her senses were heightened to their maximum.

She could quickly detect even the slightest movement around her.

Perhaps she could be the first to greet the three returning cats then.

Xia Lian had been waiting in the room.

She had almost forgotten the passage of time.

When she came to her senses, the day had already turned into night.

She wasn’t even sure what time it was now.

Rеаd оո ΚatRеaⅾіոgСаfе

Xia Lian felt as if a long, long time had passed.

Even the bed, which was filled with the scent of cats, could hardly alleviate her withdrawal symptoms.

“Have I been abandoned… like a stray cat?”

Xia Lian tilted her head, suddenly imagining a hellish scenario.

There was no one in the residence now.

Mu Luo and the others had their own things to attend to.

Wu Mi and the others had gone out and hadn’t returned.

She was alone, guarding the empty mansion.

It truly felt like she was a solitary girl.

If she were the type of fragile girl who was afraid of the dark, she would’ve burst into tears by now.

But she wasn’t.

Otherwise, White Catty wouldn’t have left her alone at home.

“Being alone is really boring.”

As if infected by Fang Tang’s habits.

Xia Lian lay down on the bed, her body turned sideways as she stared at the open window.

It had to be said that Ye Yao’s punishment was very effective.

Xia Lian began to wonder if she should tone it down in the future.

This feeling of being left behind was too unbearable.
