Esper X Family – Chapter 249 – Saving Private Xia Lian

Ye Yao had already grown accustomed to the “Ye Tong” persona.

She had subconsciously treated this state as one with herself.

When her ability construct was countered, she only realized that something was wrong now.

Everything related to mental power was being dissolved.

Only then did Ye Yao belatedly understand.

The physical painting scroll from Old Jiang was composed of mental power!

Fission body Ye Yao was enveloped in a layer of mental power that felt completely natural.

Under the effect of the【Painting the Common People】ability, it had almost merged into one with her.

But this still couldn’t change its essence.

Now, the Yunited States had unveiled their mysterious black technology.

Even the blood-red armor with a value of hundreds of thousands couldn’t withstand it.

How could an alt account with a mere value of over ten thousand possibly survive?

In Xia Lian’s eyes.

The silver-haired girl before her was like a rapidly fading picture.

There was no horrifying visual distortion.

The vibrant colors were quickly dissipating.

The vivid ink was rapidly draining away.

The framework was gradually collapsing.

It was like the final struggle of some invisible ink.

The speed of this change was incredibly fast.

She could even see the petite silhouette inside.

Xia Lian, who was the closest, saw everything clearly.

The white-haired loli’s changing expressions were unmistakable.

Xia Lian hurriedly embraced the crumbling and fading “Ye Tong”, trying to help her hide the secret.

“White Catty, hide in my arms quickly!”

But it was already too late.

The subtle changes in Ye Tong’s body were clearly recorded by the satellite camera.

Although the image was somewhat rough due to the angle and distance, sharp-eyed people could still spot the anomaly.

Inside Ye Tong’s standard teenage girl figure, there was actually a hidden petite silhouette?!

This undoubtedly brought immense shock to the informed personnel in the Countermeasures Bureau.

“Lou Wei… did you see that?”

Fu Qi’s voice trembled slightly.

Who would’ve thought that while casually observing, they would witness such a shocking scene?

“I saw it.”

Although Lou Wei’s tone was calm, his heart was already in turmoil.

What did it mean that Ye Tong, who had been confirmed as Ye Yao’s sister, might be fake?

What did it mean that the person named Ye Tong might actually be a little girl?

If the images on the screen weren’t hallucinations, then most of their previous assumptions would have to be overturned.

Everything would have to start anew!

Now, there was an important question to clarify.

What was Ye Tong’s true identity?

Fu Qi took a deep breath, a bold idea forming in his mind.

“Lou Wei, do you think it’s possible that Ye Tong actually looks quite similar to Ye Yao?”

The sister relationship needed to be questioned again.

But it couldn’t be completely dismissed.

It was just a matter of whether they were born one after the other or as twins.

But this gave rise to even more doubts.

If they were truly the same age, how could Ye Tong be so strong?

And why was Ye Yao so… weak?

Fu Qi couldn’t help but comfort himself internally.

Perhaps this was just a side effect of the ability.

The classic trope of a girl regressing into a loli was common in many novels.

How could Ye Tong possibly be a little potato?

Of course, as the director of the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, it was too hard to deceive himself so easily.

Lou Wei also fell into deep thought.

It was late at night.

Ye Yao had been in the dormitory the entire time and hadn’t left.

Yet, such a significant event had occurred on another continent.

The doubts were piling up.

All of them were brought about by “Ye Tong”.

“Let’s watch until the end.”

The colors on fission body Ye Yao had completely disappeared.

But before half of it was gone, she had already enveloped herself in the system’s black mist.

She didn’t let her true form be completely exposed.

The black mist remained steadfast under the Yunited States’ secret weapon, showing no signs of dissipating.

The only loss was the alt account created by Old Jiang, which was utterly destroyed.

It was likely beyond repair.

Fortunately, no one had discovered her disguise.

As long as Old Jiang painted another scroll, she could still be the bishoujo Ye Tong!

As long as her identity wasn’t exposed to the Countermeasures Bureau, it would be a success.

As for the Yunited States…

Ye Yao exhaled softly and gently pushed Xia Lian away.

“That’s enough, Xia Lian.”

Xia Lian still held Ye Yao’s small hand beneath the black mist, her eyes filled with concern.

“White Catty, what do we do now? Things seem really bad!”

The Yunited States’ move truly lived up to its former status as a world superpower.

They always managed to pull out something unexpected.

Although it wasn’t enough to completely defeat Ye Yao, it was certainly annoying.

Ye Yao’s tone remained calm, showing no signs of panic.

“Let the bullet fly for a while.”

When the terrifyingly high energy reaction on the detector suddenly disappeared, the base’s command room fell into a dead silence.

The highest commander stared intently at the screen where the individual energy reading had completely zeroed out.

The next second.

His lips twisted into a nearly distorted grin of ecstasy.

His eyes blazed with a terrifying light as he slammed his fist onto the control panel!

“It worked! It worked!”

His hoarse roar was like lighting a powder keg.

“Did you see it?! This is the Anti-Superhuman Device!

Even the strongest Espers can only become lambs waiting for slaughter!”

He laughed maniacally, his voice trembling with extreme excitement.

The roar instantly ignited the command room.

The panic that had been suppressed by the terrifying power of the mysterious Eastern Esper now erupted into a frenzy of relief.

“God! We succeeded!”

Although the surveillance screen showed the silver-haired girl enveloped in black mist, the detector’s data couldn’t be wrong.

Their halted steps and the vanished energy reaction were enough to show they were uneasy about the current situation!

“Now! While they’re at their weakest!”

The commander’s ecstatic expression was instantly replaced by a murderous glare.

He grabbed the communicator and roared into all combat channels, his voice drowning out the cheers in the command room.

“All units, attention!

The target has been severely crippled by the counter-weapon!

Rеаⅾ оո КatReаdiոgСαfе

Their defenses are completely down, and this is our only chance!

Concentrate all firepower! Saturation bombardment!

Turn these two demons into dust!

Now! Immediately! Open fire!”

When an S-rank Esper loses control of their mental power, even simple firepower coverage can completely annihilate them.

The command pierced through the brief celebration like a cold steel needle.

The ear-piercing highest-level fire alarm echoed throughout the base and the surrounding airspace.

The ground-based anti-aircraft arrays, already primed, raised their menacing barrels.

The hum of energy weapons charging formed a symphony of death.

Hidden missile silo covers blasted open.

Missiles trailing blazing tails tore through the sky like swarms of venomous bees.

With the will to destroy, they poured down like a torrential rain toward the two small figures in the satellite image!

“Wh-White Catty!”

Xia Lian seemed to forget everything as she instinctively shielded Ye Yao.

Ye Yao’s gaze beneath the black mist grew colder.

“I gave you a chance.”
