Esper X Family – Chapter 203 – Your Death Was Not Unjust

“How’s the situation?”

Fu Qi’s voice came through the earpiece to Lin Bozhou’s ears.

Lin Bozhou focused all his senses.

“No trace of the enemy’s presence.”

“If the status is unknown, then he’s dead.”

Fu Qi chuckled lightly.

“My Sky-Splitting Slash can disrupt spatial stability. Any space-type ability within the affected area will fail. He can’t escape.”

The Sky-Splitting Slash could ignore defenses.

Even the hardest objects would shatter like glass.

It would also seal off all known escape routes.

Whether for clearing out fodder or executing a decapitation strike, it was undoubtedly a supreme technique.

For the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau to personally take action, this remnant of the Sanctuary should feel honored.

The title of the strongest in history wasn’t just for show.

If Lou Wei hadn’t already ceased to be human.

He could’ve held onto that title for a little longer.

“Is the item still there?”

Lin Bozhou reached out, and a black sphere flew into his hand from below.

“It’s here.”

“Bring it over. I want to see what treasure they value so much.”

“Alright.”

The plane had already crashed.

They would have to request another one from the nearest Countermeasures Bureau branch.

The shattered sky gradually healed.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, so no one would witness this spectacle.

In a hidden, dark place.

“I died.”

The voice of the man in trench coat came from within the purple flames.

“Good riddance.”

Mole Maker sneered.

The others remained silent for a moment.

“Who killed you?”

“Two S-rank Espers from the Countermeasures Bureau. One of them might be Fu Qi.”

“Your death was not unjust.”

Mole Maker clicked his tongue in amazement.

“For someone of that caliber to take action, no wonder you couldn’t escape.

If it were any other S-rank Esper, you might’ve escaped using the Source Fire’s inherent spatial escape. Meeting a spatial king like that was just bad luck.”

According to known intelligence.

Fu Qi’s combat record has always been extraordinary, almost on par with Lou Wei’s.

His title as “Spatial Assassin” strikes fear into hearts.

The escape abilities of the Sanctuary’s core members are somewhat related to space.

Once they encounter him, death is almost certain.

Another voice spoke up.

“Dead is dead. At least you have a backup here by the flames.

Although you’ll lose a lot, you’ll still have your life. Living is more important than anything.”

Then, a flame separated from the fire.

As the flames dissipated, a severed finger was revealed.

Soon after.

The flame carrying Legacy Reclaimer’s remnant soul attached itself to the finger.

The severed end began to burn rapidly.

Purple flames accompanied the regeneration of flesh and blood.

From a single finger, a complete man emerged.

The man let out a contented sigh.

“No matter how many times I experience it, the Source Fire remains truly incredible.

To think that an ability that can blend multiple abilities actually exists…

Leader, I believe you have the potential to rule the world.”

The leader didn’t respond.

【Source Fire】is an ability with immense plasticity.

Its trait is the ability to absorb and integrate the abilities of other Espers.

This unassuming purple flame actually combines parts of the abilities of all the Espers present.

【Death Rampage】,【Spatial Escape】,【Limb Regeneration】,【Degradation】…

The higher the fusion rate with the Source Fire, the more proficiently one can wield these powers.

It was equivalent to possessing multiple abilities.

Coupled with an unorthodox training method akin to enhancing mental power, they weren’t entirely hopeless when facing off against the Countermeasures Bureau’s strongest.

Even if they couldn’t win, they had a chance to bring neighboring countries under their control.

But ruling the world wasn’t their goal.

The leader’s vision remained the same.

That was, to create a Sanctuary that can evade the upcoming disaster.

The Source Fire was a kind of “construction material”.

It was also a ticket.

Only those he approves of could have a chance to secure a place in the future Sanctuary.

Currently, the true Sanctuary had taken shape.

Only one final opportunity was needed for its completion.

The man in trench coat took a cloak to cover himself.

His aura was as weak as a scarecrow in a rice field.

“If the Source Fire falls into the Countermeasures Bureau’s hands, will they discover something?”

The leader shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter. We’ll just discard it.”

“Compared to that, I’ve noticed that the Source Fire we’ve been distributing recently is disappearing rapidly.”

The Mole Maker chuckled.

“Recently, the Countermeasures Bureau has formed a partnership with Sequence Zero. They’ve probably handed over the list of high-risk Sequence Espers.”

The next second, he made an annoyed expression.

“Moreover, the Countermeasures Bureau has been cleaning out my people.

The key moles I planted in the Bureau are almost all gone.”

No one paid attention to his latter statement.

“Oh? So, Sequence Zero is dealing with our free labor?”

“Most likely.”

“Spread the word. Some people will panic.”

“Exactly. There’s no time for those fools to hesitate.”

“Wait for death or take a gamble, let them choose for themselves.”

“Nothing is more terrifying than death.”

Ye Yao woke up abruptly!

Her sleep quality last night was decent.

The first thing she did after waking up was to add the 5 attribute points Xia Lian had given her to her stats.

The perfect 150 looked much more satisfying.

She would save the remaining 3 attribute points for when she could round it up.

Ye Yao picked up her phone and noticed a message.

It was from Wu Mi, saying: “Good morning.”

After exchanging contact information the day before, they could now openly communicate.

Even if the Countermeasures Bureau was secretly monitoring, it wouldn’t be a problem.

It was fine as long as they didn’t discuss sensitive topics.

Ye Yao repeated Wu Mi’s greeting.

The other party replied instantly.

Wu Mi: “Would you like to visit my house? We just moved in. Let’s all meet up.”

Ye Tong hadn’t returned last night.

Wu Mi had grown accustomed to having Ye Yao by her side.

Her sudden absence for a night had almost kept her awake.

Fortunately, she could meet the real Ye Yao, or else Wu Mi might have suffered from insomnia.

As for Xia Lian, she appeared in Wu Mi and Fang Tang’s room early in the morning.

Attempting to use two cats as substitutes to ease her White Catty addiction.

If it weren’t for Lou Wei guarding Ye Yao’s residential complex.

Xia Lian might have already snuck in.

Ye Yao held her phone in bed and replied boldly.

“I’ll head over after breakfast!”

Wu Mi sent a symbolic location.

The lurking monitoring personnel could only watch helplessly.

Even Lou Wei, who received the message, remained silent.

They couldn’t interfere with Ye Yao’s decisions.

Right now, they could only watch as Ye Yao entered Sequence Zero’s headquarters.

It was like watching a well-raised daughter enter a questionable place.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang were one thing.

But there were other unsuitable people there!

What if they corrupted Ye Yao?

Ye Yao didn’t care what the Countermeasures Bureau thought.

“Little Luo, get up and call Little Mo. We’re heading to a friend’s place!”

Luo Jianhua had also seen the message.

She had received a secret message from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Suggesting her to try and get the other party to visit their place instead.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s residential complex was obviously safer and more controllable.

Luo Jianhua glanced at Ye Yao’s smiling face.

Then, she replied with one word.

“Difficult.”

She was just a younger sister, after all. She naturally had to listen to her older sister.
