Esper X Family – Chapter 212 – She Couldn’t Have Died, Right?

Lou Wei had never thought that finding one person could be so difficult.

He had specifically paid attention to Wu Mi’s side last night.

Yet, he still found no signs of Ye Tong contacting them.

There wasn’t even the slightest hint of any communication between them.

Lou Wei almost wondered if he had been too harsh, to the point of driving her away from the city.

Of course, there was another direction he didn’t want to think about.

It was too grim, so he immediately dismissed the thought the moment it arose.

Only one day had passed.

He could wait a few more days.

Perhaps Ye Tong will quietly reappear in this city soon.

After thinking this, Lou Wei turned to look at Xiao Jing.

“I’ll keep an eye out for Ye Tong’s whereabouts. Once I find her, I’ll explain the situation to her.”

“Mm, thank you for your hard work.”

Xiao Jing’s mood was equally low.

The thought of Ye Yao crying made it impossible for her to feel happy.

But Xiao Jing couldn’t let this emotion show on her face.

Only positive emotions could counteract and dilute negative ones.

Unknowingly, three days had passed.

During these three days, Ye Yao hadn’t left the house, spending almost the entire day holed up in her room.

She only came out to eat, bathe, and use the bathroom.

She didn’t even visit her friends’ houses.

Everyone was worried that her personality would undergo a drastic change.

At this moment, a heated discussion was taking place in the living room next door.

“Three days have passed, and she hasn’t even played games! Did she get herself sick?”

The computer in Ye Yao’s room hadn’t been turned on for three days.

It had been in a shutdown state the entire time.

It was hard to imagine that someone who loved playing games would go three days without touching them.

Especially when she was holed up in her room with nothing else to do.

This was simply abnormal!

At the same time, it showed just how much impact the appearance of her older sister had on Ye Yao.

Not to mention the severe misunderstanding that had arisen.

Currently, many in the decision-making layer were worried that Ye Yao would fall into a mental dead end.

At this point, solving Ye Yao’s psychological issues had become more important than that damn Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary might be one of the triggers of world destruction.

But if Ye Yao’s problems weren’t resolved, it would accelerate the process of world destruction!

They knew what was more important.

After all, it was these old-timers who were responsible for worrying.

The main force tasked with eliminating evil remained largely unaffected.

“We can’t put all our hopes on the elusive Ye Tong. We must take action ourselves.”

“We can execute Plan B. Officially make contact, have someone use the pretext of investigating Ye Tong and Ye Yao’s blood relationship to convey information that can stabilize Ye Yao’s emotions.”

The Countermeasures Bureau wasn’t unprepared.

If Ye Tong couldn’t be found, they would resolve the misunderstanding themselves.

Even if it wasn’t as effective as clarification from the girl herself.

It was still better than doing nothing.

The Countermeasures Bureau could convey false messages to Ye Yao through their contact personnel.

Fabricating Ye Tong’s concern and care for her sister wasn’t entirely out of the question.

After all, based on the information they had.

Ye Tong’s concern for her sister wasn’t false.

Back then, she might have even followed Ye Yao, who had just left the orphanage, into the heavily guarded residential complex.

If that wasn’t concern, what was?

In any case, since Ye Tong wasn’t coming out to convey the message herself, they would do it for her!

The only difficulty was that Ye Yao might not believe it.

But there was no better alternative.

Resolving Ye Yao’s emotional knot quickly was more important.

For the past three days, none of the seasoned veterans had slept peacefully.

They were afraid that they would wake up to a world-ending event.

It was utterly terrifying.

If Ye Yao became depressed.

And her supposedly dormant power was stimulated into action.

Then no matter how experienced they were, everyone would be doomed.

“What do you think, Lou Wei?”

Fu Qi’s voice rang out.

The strongest man sat quietly in his chair, deep in thought.

He hadn’t joined the discussion until now.

At Fu Qi’s question, Lou Wei took a deep breath.

“Let’s prepare to execute Plan B.”

He had searched for three days.

Using all his senses to detect any movement in the city.

Yet, he still hadn’t found any trace of that girl.

It was the same on Wu Mi’s side.

Xia Lian had been lying motionless on the sofa like a grub all day.

This had been the case for three days.

She hadn’t even met with Ye Yao.

Let alone Ye Tong, that even more mysterious girl.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang had come to the residential complex to inquire about the situation.

But after Luo Jianhua came downstairs to relay some information, they left empty-handed.

Lou Wei had asked his colleagues in other cities to keep an eye out.

To see if there were any new faces among Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin, who were active in their areas.

But there was nothing.

Ye Tong hadn’t appeared in the team that was eliminating high-risk Sequence Espers.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Lou Wei’s mind once again wandered to the thought that shouldn’t have surfaced.

She couldn’t have died that night, right?

At this thought, Lou Wei’s vision darkened.

Even in the direst situations in the past, he had never felt so powerless.

But this was probably just a result of his mental turmoil.

He couldn’t let himself continue thinking like this.

Unlike the frantic adults.

In a warmly decorated room.

A white-haired loli was curled up under the blankets, using Luo Jianhua’s phone to binge-watch anime.

Her own mobile devices and computer were under surveillance, so she couldn’t use them.

But Luo Jianhua’s devices were fine.

Ye Yao could still slack off as usual.

“Hmm~ Three days of sadness should be enough, right?”

The girl couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

She had been pretending to have no appetite for the past three days.

Although she wasn’t as listless as on the first day, she still appeared to be suffering from psychological trauma.

Ye Yao wanted to act for a few more days to annoy those old-timers behind the scenes.

But this would inadvertently hurt Xiao Jing, who cared deeply for her.

So, she decided against it.

Ye Yao couldn’t bear to make Xiao Jing worry for too long.

And then there was Wu Mi’s side.

Xia Lian was probably on the verge of losing her soul.

The thought of the pent-up frustration over three days was terrifying.

Ye Yao had already asked Luo Jianhua to relay a message to Wu Mi.

Simply saying that she wouldn’t be able to meet for a few days.

She didn’t reveal too much.

To prevent Lou Wei from noticing anything unusual from their reactions.

Wu Mi’s side naturally understood and wouldn’t cause too much of a commotion.

Considering the timing, it was time to head out.

“Little Luo, let’s go out for a bit.”

“Is Sister finally going to cheer up again?”

Luo Jianhua couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

For the past three days, she had felt immense pressure from the adults.

They kept asking questions non-stop.

Inquiring every few hours.

Afraid that Ye Yao might have a breakdown the next second.

It was truly exaggerated.

Now that her sister had decided to wrap things up, she wouldn’t have to endure the constant questioning anymore.

Seeing Luo Jianhua’s thoughts, Ye Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’ve had a hard time these days.”

Luo Jianhua’s eyes turned slightly resentful.

“Yes, Sister’s shenanigan was too devastating. Even I suffered…”

Ye Yao got up and hugged Luo Jianhua, grinning.

“Alright~ I’ll make it up to you later. Let’s get ready first.”

Ye Yao’s mood was relatively cheerful now.

During these days, she had noticed that Lou Wei’s mental power hadn’t improved at all.

He must’ve encountered a problem in his cultivation!

Her alt account hadn’t been exposed yet.

In that case.

She would make her comeback in Ye Tong form!

Author Note

Speaking of which, I found a wallet on the street yesterday. It happened to contain a driver’s license, so I handed it over to the traffic police. Within a few hours, the owner called to thank me and wanted to thank me in person, but I’m socially anxious and didn’t dare to accept.

Since it was the first time I encountered something like this, I searched online and found out that if you have the driver’s license, you can hand it over directly to the traffic police. Otherwise, you’ll have to go to a police station far away.

Fortunately, the traffic police station is nearby, otherwise I would’ve wasted a lot of gaming time!
