Esper X Family – Chapter 224 – We’re All Bros!

Ye Tong wasn’t sure how many people were left devastated by her overwhelming display of power.

But she sure felt great.

She had been constantly suffering at Lou Wei’s side, almost to the point of doubting her own existence.

But after venturing out, she realized that it wasn’t raining outside after all.

She knew it!

How could she possibly be the weak one?

It was just that the Dayun Truck was too overpowered.

Practically inhuman.

Look at how adorable these outside S-rank Espers were.

She could easily crush them with sheer numbers.

They had no Celestial Form or invincibility mechanics.

And no untargetable phases.

Just the simple logic that if your armor-piercing stats were sufficient, you could kill.

It felt amazing.

Who knew that instantly killing strong enemies could be so satisfying?

When she killed the bottom-ranked Sequence Espers before, she didn’t feel like much.

It was like stepping on ants.

But after taking down so many A-rank and above enemies in one go, she finally had a real sense of exhilaration.

Standing on a tall building, Ye Tong was inspired to recite poetry.

“Against the currents, ten thousand immortals retreat upon the river ¹ One of Great Love Immortal Venerable (Fang Yuan)’s poems from Reverend Insanity. Unfortunately, I don’t want to sift through 2000 chapters for a reference so I just did the most basic research. …”

“White Catty, what are you mumbling about?”

Xia Lian interrupted Ye Tong’s poetic moment.

The silver-haired girl immediately put on an annoyed expression.

“Damn cat lover! If you interrupt my cool moment again, I’ll refine you ten million times!”

“Whoa! White Catty is angry! I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”

Xia Lian smoothly dropped to her knees and hugged Ye Tong’s thigh, begging for forgiveness.

Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin could only pretend not to see this shameless scene.

Rеаd oո KαtRеаⅾіnɡСаfе

Ye Tong snorted coldly and looked at Mu Luo.

His body was still wrapped in thick black armor.

His head was completely covered by a helmet, and not even his eyes were visible.

“Mu Luo, you look pretty cool like that. Can you get me one?”

Ye Tong’s long-dormant chuunibyou heart suddenly surged.

It was like wanting to become a Kamen Rider ² They have a whole series about an Unc wanting to be a Kamen Rider. It’s literally called Tojima Wants To Be A Kamen Rider. .

Who wouldn’t want to wear such cool suits ³ They really have banger suits. ?

“Sure, but it’s probably unnecessary for you.”

Mu Luo shook his head.

This state enhanced his Esper abilities.

All his stats would also increase slightly.

In some ways, it strengthened his close combat capabilities.

He wouldn’t have to worry about being instantly killed by a sudden attack.

Normally, he would’ve already deactivated this state.

But he was nearing a breakthrough.

He needed to envelop himself in darkness, like a black cocoon. After breaking out, he would reach a new realm.

Once he reached S-rank, he was confident that he could infiltrate places guarded by S-rank Espers without being noticed.

Perhaps he could find more hidden Innate Sequence Espers.

【Mu Luo is considering trying to find the Innate Sequence Espers hidden by the Countermeasures Bureau after breaking through to S-rank.】

Ye Yao: “?”

Bro, WTF!?

Why are you still thinking about the Countermeasures Bureau’s Innate Sequence Espers?

Using Fang Tang’s trick once is fine.

But using it again is a bit shameless.

Ye Yao put herself in the shoes of a Countermeasures Bureau’s higher-up and couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

The girl then looked at Gu Wenxin.

“Old Gu, you don’t mind that I stole so many kills from you, right?”

Reаd oո КαtRеаdiոgСafе

“I don’t mind. You did well.”

During this time, they had eliminated many high-risk Sequence Espers.

Gu Wenxin’s aura had become sharper.

Anyone who had done something wrong would probably be terrified just by meeting his gaze.

Ye Tong glanced at her panel.

【Ability: Slaying Evil

Mental Power: 4,999 (Sheathed State)】

Ew.

This useless system is so chuunibyou.

First, it’s Dark Cocoon, and now it’s Sheathed State.

Who does this kind of thing when they’re about to break through?

But seeing Gu Wenxin’s mental power at its limit made Ye Tong feel less guilty.

It seemed that the stolen kills didn’t affect him much.

Breaking through to S-rank probably wouldn’t be as simple as killing evil people.

Ye Tong continued, “Have we eliminated everyone on the Countermeasures Bureau’s list?”

Mu Luo shook his head, “There are still a few stragglers. I’ll handle them.”

Truly the strongest workhorse.

At this point, Gu Wenxin spoke up, “I want to go and confirm something. Mu Luo can handle the remaining evil ones.”

Ye Tong glanced at him.

She immediately understood what he wanted to do.

“Go ahead. Don’t hold back. Sequence Zero will always have your back! If anyone has a problem with it, let them come to me.”

Ye Tong didn’t ask questions. She just gave her trust.

What else is there to say?

We’re all bros!

“Thank you.”

Gu Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face.

It had to be said.

Rеaԁ οո КаtReаdіոgСαfе

Ye Tong was truly sincere.

Having such companions made this path feel less lonely.

Ye Tong glanced over the somewhat ruined city.

Although the battle had only lasted a short time, the shockwaves from the clash of S-rank Espers were enough to destroy many buildings.

Not to mention that there were six S-rank Espers.

Plus the other high-risk Sequence Espers tagging along.

The destruction they caused in just a few minutes was enough to leave many people homeless.

But Ye Yao believed that the Countermeasures Bureau would handle everything.

Mu Luo had already released everyone from the Dark Erosion space.

A group of people stared in shock at the cracked roads and shattered buildings.

Some even knelt on the ground, pounding the earth and crying.

Not because their mortgaged houses and cars were destroyed.

But for a more abstract reason.

“Ahhh! It’s already over! I didn’t get to see the battle!! I’m so angry!!!”

Of course, such people were few.

Most were still reeling from the fear of almost losing their lives.

Dawn was approaching.

The early morning sky was pale and misty.

The Countermeasures Bureau had already begun organizing post-battle operations.

A group of experienced civil engineering Espers were on their way.

Gu Wenxin left the team after sensing that the evil aura on the battlefield had mostly dissipated.

Among them, the Countermeasures Bureau’s undercover agent had been protected.

Personally guarded by an S-rank Esper.

To prevent the strange Source Fire from going out of control.

Mu Luo left shortly after, heading off to hunt down the remaining high-risk Sequence Espers.

Only Xia Lian remained by Ye Tong’s side.

“Hmm~ Those two should reach S-rank when they return, right? Sequence Zero’s true S-rank Espers, I’m really looking forward to it.”

Reаⅾ oո KαtRеαdіոɡСαfe

Ye Yao was also quite excited.

Will the Found Family System drop some gold coins because of this?

Such a meaningful event should definitely yield a pile of gold coins, right?

Otherwise, Ye Yao would have to end it with a “useless system” comment.

Xia Lian was all smiles. The extras were now gone.

It was back to their two-person world!

White Catty could only be hers now!

Ye Tong glanced sideways at the secretly delighted Xia Lian.

“Speaking of which… you didn’t really contribute much in this battle.

Old Mu did a great job protecting people, and Old Gu at least got a kill.

What did you do, Old Xia? Slack off?”

Xia Lian’s expression stiffened under Ye Tong’s interrogation.

“Uh… it’s just that you were too fast, White Catty! Otherwise, I could’ve taken down a few people too!”

“But Old Gu got a kill. Why didn’t you?”

“T-That’s his specialty! And he’s almost S-rank, so it’s normal that he’s a bit stronger than me…”

Xia Lian defended herself pitifully.

“Oh? Is that so?

You’re still the gatekeeper of the top ten Sequences. How can you be this bad?”

Ye Tong’s gaze was full of pressure.

The meaning was clear.

Everyone else is improving. Why are you still lagging behind?

“Ahaha…”

Xia Lian couldn’t help but avert her eyes.

If she said something like, “I don’t care about training, I just want to love cats”, she’d probably be stared at like she was trash, right?
