Esper X Family – Chapter 239 – Can You Possibly Be Smarter Than Me?

“𝙼𝚊𝚗! 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚜𝚊𝚢 ¹ “What can I say, Mamba out” is a meme based on Kobe Bryant’s last line in his last game. She spoke it in English but we’re already English here so I use monospace to somewhat emulate the whiplash I get whenever I see random English among CN text. !”

Ye Tong shouted as soon as she landed.

Xia Lian almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“White Catty, what does that mean?”

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I was just saying something foreign to fit in.”

“Is that the only phrase you know?”

“I’m uneducated, so I only know phrases like that.”

Ye Yao admitted this quite easily.

The foreign language she had learned in her past life had long been forgotten.

Things like “main clause followed by subordinate clause”, “present continuous tense”, “past tense”… she had no idea about any of it!

Ye Tong glanced at Xia Lian.

“Do you know any foreign languages?”

“Hmm, if I studied seriously, I should be able to make simple conversations with people in a short time, but I haven’t really studied much.”

“So you’re uneducated too.”

Ye Tong glanced around the airport but didn’t feel the air here was particularly sweet.

Why did those stupid books she read out of boredom during her previous life spout such nonsense anyway?

Xia Lian fell into thought.

“White Catty, what should we do if we meet locals and need to communicate with them?”

“Why communicate? We just need to find the people and bring them back. I’m not here to sightsee.”

Ye Tong was full of sharpness.

Back in the country, Lou Wei wouldn’t let her eat beef freely.

But there was no Lou Wei here, right?

She could just follow the System’s Family Location Sharing to find the people.

First, she would check their situation.

If someone was imprisoning them, she would deliver a Haymaker ² Sett’s W skill in LoL. The Chinese name of the skill is ‘deliberate punch’. to kill the bad guys.

She would become an Earth Immortal ³ Term for Immortals who somehow stayed in the lower world instead of ascending. They’re basically invincible in the mortal world because of that. and crush anyone who dared to stand in her way.

If she acted timidly, she would be letting her powerful Esper ability down!

If communication was necessary, it should be the other party’s responsibility to consider the language barrier.

Not the strong accommodating the weak.

Xia Lian thought for a moment.

“That makes sense. As expected of White Catty.”

“Of course, can you possibly be smarter than me?”

Ye Tong puffed out her chest, her nose almost pointing to the sky.

She, the Great Night King ⁴ Ye Yao’s ‘Ye’ is the same as night (夜ye). , could do whatever she wanted abroad.

The entire world could be her backyard!

She could order anyone to cook a couple of dishes for her.

Without pressure from the Dayun Truck, life was so much easier.

Ye Tong glanced at the mini-map provided by the system.

The two orange dots were close together, probably in the same place, so she wouldn’t need to search for them separately.

But they hadn’t moved much from the beginning.

She had a bad feeling.

Ye Tong and Xia Lian prepared to leave the airport, planning to find a place to fly directly over.

But they hadn’t gone far when Ye Tong felt as if someone’s gaze was on her.

And Xia Lian, with her A-rank mental power, had even more precise perception.

“Someone is approaching us.”

Fortunately, the other party made no attempt to conceal themselves or secretly follow them.

Ye Tong soon saw a group of about a dozen people walking toward them, all wearing uniforms.

Their auras were clearly different from ordinary people. Without a doubt, they were official Espers from this country.

At the front was a tall, blond, blue-eyed man.

He wore a professional smile.

His gaze was sharp, filled with scrutiny.

The next moment.

The man spoke a string of fluent English.

Ye Tong fell into thought.

What’s he babbling about?

I don’t understand.

“𝙼𝚊𝚗? 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝙸 𝚜𝚊𝚢?”

Ye Yao considered herself part of the high-morality crowd, and she naturally wouldn’t act rashly like a certain demon bead ⁵ Nezha reference. Dude is born from a demon bead and has violent tendencies despite being good at heart. .

Since they seemed to be official Espers from this country, it wouldn’t hurt to give them a chance to communicate.

Xia Lian couldn’t hold back again.

Does White Cat only know how to repeat this phrase?

Even the uneducated White Cat is so cute!

The man’s gaze swept over Ye Tong’s striking white hair and Xia Lian’s exquisitely modeled face.

Upon realizing they might be from the mysterious Eastern superpower, he quickly switched languages.

“I’m Johnson, the special operations captain of the ‘Sentinel Organization’.

We are responsible for recording information on high-ranking Espers entering the country.

Please present your identification and entry permits, and state the purpose of your visit.”

Ye Tong raised an eyebrow, while Xia Lian took half a step forward.

It was time to show their strengths.

Xia Lian didn’t want Ye Tong to handle everything personally.

Otherwise, wouldn’t she just be a mere accessory?

How could she claim credit and ask for rewards without doing anything?

“We are citizens of Dragon Country, here to handle private matters. All procedures are legal and compliant.”

She didn’t directly provide the documents they requested.

After all, they didn’t have them.

The Countermeasures Bureau had only given them a “universal card”.

Upon hearing “Dragon Country”.

Johnson and his team’s eyes flickered slightly, exchanging cautious glances.

The strength and protectiveness of Dragon Country’s Esper community were internationally renowned.

Mishandling this could easily lead to diplomatic disputes.

Although they hated to admit it, their local Esper capabilities weren’t enough to challenge Dragon Country’s high-end combat power.

Any conflict would only result in losses.

But since the other party wasn’t willing to cooperate, they couldn’t show weakness either.

This was official business.

Johnson’s smile faded slightly, and his tone became more polite.

“Understood. However, according to international conventions and our country’s security regulations,

all Espers with a B-rank or higher assessment entering the country must undergo basic registration with the Sentinel Organization.

This is the standard procedure. Please cooperate.”

Based on the observations and perceptions of their staff.

The black-haired girl was clearly the strongest, with a mental power of at least 3,000.

The silver-haired girl who looked like a fantasy elf showed no detectable fluctuations.

The portable detection device could only sense mental fluctuations from the black-haired girl.

The only exception was if there was an S-rank or higher Esper, or an ordinary person with negligible mental power.

The ability detection device could only sense fluctuations below S-rank.

But it was unlikely for Dragon Country’s S-rank Espers to cross borders casually.

So, she must be an ordinary person.

With this conclusion, only the black-haired girl needed attention.

A 3,000 mental power Esper was indeed strong.

But the Sentinel Organization’s lineup wasn’t weak either.

If a conflict arose, they could still come out on top.

To avoid provoking someone with a powerful background, Johnson added.

“If you are Espers from Dragon Country’s Countermeasures Bureau, you can present your credentials and be exempt from additional procedures.”

Ye Tong frowned.

Countermeasures Bureau Esper?

Although Sequence Zero was a cooperative partner and could use special privileges, strictly speaking, they weren’t a part of the organization.

“We’re not from the Countermeasures Bureau.”

Johnson’s expression instantly changed.

An A-rank Esper who’s not from the Countermeasures Bureau?

His previous caution quickly faded.

Replaced with a mix of interest and calculation.

A powerful Esper without official backing?

This was an extremely valuable “resource” anywhere, especially in the Yunited States.

If he could “recruit” that formidable black-haired girl, or at least keep her under control, it would be a great achievement.

As for the silver-haired girl who seemed like an ordinary person, she could also be treated well.

After all, the two seemed to be together.

For the sake of a high-end combatant, it wouldn’t hurt to pamper a mere ornament.
