Esper X Family – Chapter 292 – The Beginning of Judgment

Night fell.

The four “old” members of Sequence Zero collectively moved out.

Only they could carry out such murderous tasks.

Logically, Xia Lian should have followed.

Her ability’s style was quite fitting for this.

Unfortunately, she seemed immersed in the joy of loving cats.

But it didn’t matter.

Having her around wouldn’t make a difference, and not having her wouldn’t be a loss.

In a situation of overflowing combat power, there was no real need to bring along an Esper who hadn’t even reached S-rank to make up the numbers.

On top of a tall building at night.

Mu Luo stood on the edge of the rooftop, contemplating the next steps of their action.

“Ye Yao sent a message, asking us to prioritize dealing with those whose mental power fluctuations are even weaker than ordinary people.

The targets were once members of the Yunited States’ Main Sentinel Base. Their abilities had been stripped away, leaving them with only their lives, which would certainly be mired in evil.”

Logically speaking, the first night should have begun with Mu Luo gathering intelligence to grasp the enemies’ movements.

Then, based on the intelligence, they would launch precise strikes against the enemy.

This would ensure that they would catch the enemy off guard.

They could even maintain a very high efficiency.

However, since Ye Yao wanted them to handle these people first, it was best to follow orders.

Although these individuals had long been discarded, since they had once harmed their companions, they naturally wouldn’t be let off.

Mu Luo and the others understood that Ye Yao had deliberately left these people as their prey.

Or rather, they were specifically meant to be Gu Wenxin’s prey.

Even if killing all of them wouldn’t boost his mental power much, it would at least bring some satisfaction, wouldn’t it?

Not to mention that mosquito meat is still meat.

Mu Luo gazed at the night view of the city.

In this dark night, what he could do was far beyond the enemies’ imaginations.

“I’ll find these people.”

Gu Wenxin said, “I’ll judge the ones that deserve death.”

“Leave a few for me if possible. If not, I can just watch. Perhaps I’ll find some inspiration for my new art.”

Jiang Huashen, who had followed them out, was clearly not one of the main forces.

Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin alone could already wreak havoc.

Not to mention that Yu Jin, the god of war on earth, was also present.

As a rather unremarkable art student, he only needed to pick off a few kills and sketch in a corner.

Jiang Huashen glanced at Yu Jin beside him.

“What about you, brother? How do you want to get your revenge?”

“Killing these powerless individuals isn’t something I need to do. You all can handle it cleanly. If there’s trouble, I can step in.”

When it came to mowing down grass, Yu Jin indeed couldn’t match Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin.

He was more suited to facing powerful enemies head-on.

Naturally, he wouldn’t lower their efficiency in this aspect.

The anger in his heart couldn’t be quelled just by killing these few people.

Only the mastermind behind it all could make him take the initiative to get involved.

“Let’s get going then.”

Mu Luo didn’t waste any more words. He allowed the shadows to swallow the four of them.

At the same time.

Inside a massive mansion.

A hoarse roar echoed throughout the room.

“Useless! A bunch of useless parasites!”

A middle-aged man with classic western features yelled menacingly at the servants before him.

He stood barefoot, an expensive silk morning robe crookedly hanging on him, his disheveled golden hair clinging to his sweaty forehead.

Once, a mere glance from him could make crystal cups float and dance, forcing challengers to cower in fear.

Now, he could only futilely grab the heavy brass globe on his desk.

Bang! Crash—!

The globe turned into an angry arc and smashed hard into the antique floor-length mirror opposite him.

In an instant.

The priceless crystal surface shattered into thousands of distorted shards.

Each piece reflected his current grim and desperate face.

The eyes that once shone with a captivating cerulean light now only held murky blood-red and frenzied madness.

Like his shattered pride, the fragments scattered onto the expensive carpet beneath him.

“My power… where has my power gone!?”

He stumbled and collapsed onto the massive mahogany desk, sweeping his arms across it.

The objects on the desk fell to the ground like trash.

He grabbed an exquisite pure silver photo frame from the desk.

Inside was a photograph of him and the others at the Yunited States’ Main Sentinel Base, looking youthful and spirited.

The glow of ability once flickered at his fingertips.

A noble officer like him had actually fallen to such a state!

Having lost his powers, he was forced to leave the circle.

He had fallen from the peak to the depths.

His status had dramatically fallen.

He glared fiercely at the photograph of himself, his gaze like a poison-tipped dagger.

Under the terrified gaze of the servants, the middle-aged man frantically tore and crushed the photo, stuffing the pieces into his mouth and chewing hard.

As if trying to completely grind down and swallow that glorious past.

Yet, the roughness of the paper choked him, leading to violent coughing, his tears and saliva streaming down together.

“Those damned… Dragon Country bastards… how dare they humiliate me like this! How dare they?! I am the second officer of the Sentinel Assault Team!”

He roared, his voice distorted by extreme rage and bone-deep fear.

For an elite-level Esper like him, losing his ability wasn’t just about losing power.

It was being stripped of the qualifications to stand firm and look down upon others.

He had fallen from the clouds into the mire of the mortal realm.

The foundation on which he had maintained power, wealth, and even family status had been completely uprooted.

He had once been one of them.

Naturally, he was well aware that this circle would mercilessly abandon those they deemed useless.

Even if he had once held a significant position.

“…How could this happen? We just captured some livestock to offer to the truth.

To ruin my future just for those subhuman creatures…”

The white middle-aged man mumbled to himself, already showing symptoms of a mental breakdown.

At the same time.

A shadow in the corner of the room rippled quietly.

A cold voice reached everyone’s ears.

“The criteria match, how many to kill?”

The people in the room jolted in surprise.

Someone had intruded!?

The former Sentinel officer suddenly realized that an Esper had broken in.

He could naturally tell that the voice was spoken in Dragon Country language!

So, he hurriedly attempted to save himself.

“Wait! Don’t kill me! I’ll give you money! I’ll give you all of my fortune!”

However, another even colder voice rang out.

Like the judgment of death itself.

“I’ll take action, no one will leave alive.”

A man wielding a blade stepped out from the shadows.

His cold gaze fixed on everyone present.

Whether it was the disheveled and terrified middle-aged man or the servants, they were all characters steeped in heavy sin.

There were no more “humans” in this mansion.

Rеаⅾ οn КαtRеaԁіոɡCαfe

Gu Wenxin didn’t give them a chance to speak as his powerful mental power immediately spread out.

Instantly marking the deeply sinful characters within the mansion.

There was no need to talk to these people.

They only needed to pay for the innocent lives that had perished at their hands.

“Judgment.”

The next moment.

The minds of those marked by Gu Wenxin instantly went blank.

Then, countless flashbacks played out, showing all of the sins they had committed in their life.

All of this occurred in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after.

The marked individuals were swiftly executed.

Those whose mental power was below that of Gu Wenxin would meet their end in an instant.

This was one of the additional abilities he had gained after advancing to S-rank.

Enough to make a full health bar the execution threshold.

No attack was required, and only the mark was needed.

As long as the level of evil reached a certain extent, there was no escape from this execution.

Since it was super effective, it should be super effective all the way!

“Next location.”

Gu Wenxin returned to the shadows.

No living souls remained in the mansion.

Author Note

Kids, it’s so cold outside, and I’m now even lazier after going back to my hometown. All I want to do is stay in bed except when writing. It feels like my bed is bewitching me, and I just can’t resist!
