Esper X Family – Chapter 33 – Do You Want to Avenge Him?

The night was dark, and the wind was howling.

It’s the perfect time for a sting operation!

Ye Yao used her fission body to leave the room and move away from the residential area.

She was completely covered, with only her figure giving any clues about her identity.

“Successful evacuation!”

Ye Yao was becoming more and more adept at “running away from home”.

This talent of hers almost terrified her!

But she didn’t get carried away. After all, it wasn’t her first rodeo.

If she was discovered, it would be game over for her.

“Hmm, stay low-key, low-key~”

Ye Yao walked all the way to the park from that day but didn’t approach recklessly. Instead, she observed from a distance.

The streetlights were still functioning.

With that faint light, she could see the basic situation inside the park.

Ye Yao vaguely noticed a few broken trees.

Even the ground had suffered varying degrees of damage.

However, the traces of destruction were minimal.

Ye Yao guessed that Lou Wei must have controlled the intensity of his attacks to the lowest possible level.

Moreover, the enemy didn’t even attempt to fight back.

That was why the park hadn’t been completely leveled.

Ye Yao easily imagined the scene.

This hit-and-run style of action was truly exhilarating~

It was something she, Ye Yao, might want to do herself.

“Hmm… Could that Sequence 012 Esper really run away?”

Ye Yao muttered to herself.

After her mental power reached 28, the duration of her fission body had already approached three hours.

She had plenty of time to wander outside.

It would be a shame if nothing interesting happened.

It’d be a waste of a trip outside!

Just as Ye Yao was feeling disappointed, a chilling aura suddenly emanated from behind her.

“Are you looking for me?”

“ Gah —”

Ye Yao instinctively turned around. A dark figure had appeared behind her without warning.

The next second.

The wind began to stir!

Within a radius of one kilometer, a fierce gale erupted.

The mysterious figure used tentacles to drag Ye Yao into the darkness the moment she turned around.

BOOM!!!

An explosion echoed almost simultaneously.

Another massive crater, seemingly carved by a giant blade, appeared near the park.

Lou Wei descended from the sky, silently staring at the spot where the eerie aura had just been.

No trace of anyone remained there.

“He’s definitely still lurking nearby.”

The survival methods of that Sequence 012 Esper were incredibly strong.

At a certain distance, Lou Wei couldn’t immediately capture or kill him.

Unless the opponent dared to face him head-on.

However, if that Sequence 012 Esper was determined to run and hide, he could avoid many fatal attacks.

This Esper was undoubtedly the biggest headache for the Countermeasures Bureau.

Many of the contained Sequence Espers had been secretly taken away by him.

The number of Countermeasures Bureau Espers who cursed Sequence 012’s ancestors could line up from the north gate to the south gate of the headquarters.

He was truly a magnet for hatred.

After failing to land a decisive blow, Lou Wei remained in place.

He was thinking.

“Did he just take someone away?”

Rеaԁ оո КаtRеadіոgСαfе

Lou Wei had an ability called “Wind Sense Radar”, which was equivalent to a domain-type ability and could cover a vast area.

If he reduced the precision of his perception and didn’t focus on exact details, it could cover a small country.

Anywhere with airflow couldn’t escape Lou Wei’s senses.

Right now, Lou Wei didn’t need to sense such a large area, as he only needed to focus on this small region.

By maximizing the precision of his perception, he could distinguish between ordinary people and Espers.

Further enhancing it allowed him to even mark specific targets.

As soon as a marked person entered the domain, Lou Wei would immediately sense it.

This greatly reduced the consumption of his focus.

That Sequence 012 Esper had already been marked by Lou Wei.

That was why Lou Wei was able to act the moment he appeared.

Although he didn’t succeed, he at least managed to stop the opponent’s actions.

This meant that the possibility of that Sequence 012 Esper taking Ye Yao away was absolutely zero.

But now, there was a problem before Lou Wei.

He had clearly seen the enemy take someone away with his own eyes, but he hadn’t sensed the presence of the other person.

It was as if the other person existed in a state between being and non-being.

Even the domain had overlooked them.

Currently, Lou Wei didn’t need to sense ordinary people, so he had turned off the ‘physical collision’ function.

Minor disturbances like rustling leaves could be ignored.

That Sequence 012 Esper couldn’t have taken an ordinary person.

Lou Wei retraced his steps.

He returned the way he came, back to the house he had been keeping a close eye on.

When he entered the living room, Xiao Jing was still awake.

Lou Wei: “Go check on her.”

The Wind Sense domain didn’t cover Ye Yao’s room.

After all, this had been a long-established principle.

Protection didn’t require constant surveillance.

Xiao Jing nodded, walked to Ye Yao’s room, and gently opened the door, stepping inside.

Her footsteps were very light.

It gave off the vibe of a parent secretly checking on their child.

Xiao Jing soon saw Ye Yao sleeping on the bed. She had kicked off the blanket, her sleeping posture very ungraceful, with her flat little belly exposed.

“ Zzz~ ”

She was clearly in a deep sleep.

“I’m really afraid you’ll roll off the bed in your sleep.”

Xiao Jing smiled helplessly, covered Ye Yao with the blanket, and left the room, making almost no sound.

Lou Wei was waiting in the living room for the update.

Xiao Jing: “She’s sleeping, no issues.”

“Mm, I’ll check if anyone is missing in the residential complex.”

Lou Wei quickly reported the situation.

Like a computer, a scan was ran through the entire residential complex.

After a thorough check, no one was found missing.

This left many Espers puzzled.

Who had Sequence 012 taken away, then?

Meanwhile.

Ye Yao had already been taken far away, tens of thousands of meters from her original location.

Everything around her was pitch black.

Her body felt like it was swimming through an extremely viscous liquid.

Yet, there was no sensation of being wet.

Fortunately, this experience didn’t last long.

Ye Yao soon breathed in fresh air.

“ Phew! Damn it, couldn’t you have kidnapped me in a gentler way?”

The first thing Ye Yao did upon returning to the ground wasn’t to panic.

Instead, she glared angrily at the mysterious person who had kidnapped her.

Sequence 012 remained silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, he finally spoke.

“Ever since that day, I’ve been wondering—are you an autistic child?”

Ye Yao instantly turned red with anger, stomping her feet in fury.

“ *Classic internet profanity* YOU’RE the one with autism! How dare you slander a loli like that!? I curse you to be caught by Lou Wei and be utterly humiliated next time!”

Sequence 012 fell silent again.

Such an ill-mannered loli probably wasn’t raised by the Countermeasures Bureau.

Had he really kidnapped the wrong person?

Just as Sequence 012 began to doubt himself, Ye Yao finally calmed down and prepared to extract information.

“ Ahem~ Bro, bro, what were you doing lurking around that residential area? Aren’t you afraid of being caught by Lou Wei?”

This overly casual and bizarre way of addressing him made Sequence 012 feel that Ye Yao had no value whatsoever.

If he brought this loli to exchange for a Sequence Esper, he might even be mocked by the Countermeasures Bureau’s people.

The only thing he could confirm was that Ye Yao wasn’t an ordinary person.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t know so much.

It was impossible to get close to that residential area now.

Since this loli wasn’t afraid of him, he might as well say a few things.

“I was just investigating the mysterious Esper who killed Flame Demon. I happened to pass by that residential area then.”

Ye Yao suddenly understood and then interrupted him.

“Then, on a whim, you decided to gather some information, but Lou Wei caught you on the spot and almost beat you to death, right?”

“…”

Sequence 012 suddenly felt that this loli wasn’t cute at all.

Then, Ye Yao changed her tone.

“So you’re investigating that mysterious Esper? You should’ve said so earlier~ I’m that mysterious Esper! I’m the one who killed Flame Demon!”

“…?”

Facing Sequence 012’s skeptical gaze, Ye Yao wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she smiled proudly.

“Do you want to avenge him?”
