Esper X Family – Chapter 369 – Visiting Again

The next day.

No matter how chaotic things were outside, it didn’t affect Ye Yao’s life.

It seemed that only Ye Yao and her group were still enjoying a relaxed daily life within the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

When Ye Yao went to the cafeteria to find food, she could visibly see that a number of people were missing.

“Were they sent out on assignments?”

Luo Jianhua responded, “Mm, things are indeed a bit chaotic outside. They need manpower to guide the people who’ve just awakened their abilities.”

“Moment of silence for them~”

Ye Yao observed a few seconds of silence.

It was as if the changes outside had nothing to do with her.

If asked, the answer was simple:

Ye Tong did it!

“After eating, let’s go to Uncle’s place for a bit. There’s something I want to talk about.”

Although it wasn’t the weekend yet, that didn’t mean she couldn’t visit on weekdays.

Anyway, the Countermeasures Bureau had conveniently exempted her from all her classes.

There was not a single notice, just a direct fast-track to a carefree, leisurely life.

The Bureau was really going to great lengths to let her slack off.

Unfortunately, all of it was useless.

Given what happened the day before yesterday, the Countermeasures Bureau could only watch as she “went berserk”, helpless like an impotent husband. One could only imagine how powerless they felt.

This also proved that just appeasing “Ye Yao” wasn’t decisive. Ultimately, it also depended on “Ye Tong’s” will.

“I’m full! Ready to head out!”

Meanwhile.

Up in the sky.

Fu Qi had a bit of a stomachache.

He hadn’t expected Ye Yao to come looking for him so soon.

Couldn’t she at least give him a few more days to recover?

After getting chewed out by Xiao Jing yesterday, the dignity of the Countermeasures Bureau Director had been shattered.

The title of ‘Strongest in History’ was reduced to nothing in Xiao Jing’s eyes.

The key point was that he couldn’t even argue back.

“How come I feel like my position as Bureau Director is just for show? My status and strength are both top-tier. Logically, I shouldn’t be so despised.”

Fu Qi fell into deep thought.

“Maybe your performance has been a bit unsatisfactory.”

Lou Wei’s flat voice reached his ears.

Fu Qi was instantly displeased.

“How much better are you anyway? Don’t forget you were the one who got scolded the longest. Did you dare to talk back even once?”

Lou Wei: “…”

He didn’t dare.

Even though he and Xiao Jing were just colleagues, their initial statuses were worlds apart.

But now, the situation had completely reversed.

Xiao Jing’s authority and importance had actually risen above both of them.

In other words, Xiao Jing might be the ultimate “ultimate safety net”.

Facing the “World Destruction Form” Ye Yao, Lou Wei and Fu Qi would probably just be kicked aside like roadside strays.

But Xiao Jing was different.

As soon as Ye Tong broke free from the World Destruction Form, she went straight to Xiao Jing to tattle.

It was easy to imagine how highly Ye Tong regarded Xiao Jing in her heart.

Facing her reprimands and scolding, Lou Wei and Fu Qi could only endure.

The two fell into a brief silence, the atmosphere tinged with a hint of melancholy.

It had a touch of that desolate feeling in one’s later years.

Even though they were still the strongest among humans, they ultimately couldn’t shake off that air of “heroes past their prime”.

“Forget it, I’ll go prepare. Xiao Jing said she’ll give you another talk next time. You should think about how to satisfy her first.”

“Don’t try to exclude yourself. You need to think about it too.”

“Heh, at least I don’t have as many opportunities to meet her. I have to guard the headquarters. When Ye Yao leaves, I won’t be following along.”

Fu Qi looked somewhat gleeful, as if he was looking forward to seeing Lou Wei make a fool of himself.

Residential Area.

Ye Yao arrived at her “Uncle’s” house again. Opening the door, she found only Tu Sheng and Chen Wan Ting at home.

“Where’s Uncle?”

The silver-haired loli looked left and right, not finding the person who could drop gold coins.

“Your uncle isn’t back yet, but he should be here soon.”

Chen Wan Ting gently hugged Ye Yao for a moment, expressing her affection and closeness.

Even after going berserk, this world destroying kitty managed to hold back her hiss.

Having witnessed this firsthand, Chen Wan Ting would have to be a saint to not adore her.

In short, she absolutely had to dote on her.

She absolutely must never let Ye Yao be wronged.

“Something big happened recently. Is Uncle very busy?”

“Mm, but it’s okay. The work he’s responsible for isn’t too much.”

Ye Yao’s changing of eras had indeed thrown the Countermeasures Bureau into an unprecedented mode of overclocked operation.

As the Bureau’s Director, Fu Qi naturally gained a lot more work.

However, because his mental power had broken through ten thousand, his personal abilities had greatly improved, so he could still manage.

He could even find time to check on Ye Yao with Lou Wei.

In short, spatial abilities were very convenient, saving a lot of time. One person could effectively function as ten.

Chen Wan Ting also had a lot more work and was supposed to handle some things today.

But after hearing that Ye Yao was planning to come over, she handed her work off to others.

The priority of any work was far lower than Ye Yao’s visit.

“Auntie, let me tell you, it seems like the changes outside were brought about by me and my sister. I was probably just an accessory ¹ Term for being carried. After all, you wear (carry) accessories. . Did my sister cause any trouble?”

Of course, Ye Yao had to dive deep into this topic.

Although this matter wasn’t suitable for outsiders to know, it should be fine with family, right?

The Countermeasures Bureau hadn’t told her to keep it a secret from her family.

“Ah, this…”

Chen Wan Ting didn’t really know what to say either.

“It can’t really be called trouble. It’s also a good thing, just that the sudden, massive change caught many people off guard.”

“I see…”

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

“I wonder how my sister is doing now. After that, it seems I was unconscious for a day. My sister is probably very tired too. I’m a bit worried about her.”

Tenderness filled Chen Wan Ting’s eyes. Just as she was about to pat her head, she saw Ye Yao look up and stare at her.

“Speaking of which, Auntie, did you know I slept for a whole day?”

“Mm, I knew. But the situation was a bit special, and the headquarters didn’t allow others to disturb your rest.

Do you blame Auntie and Uncle for not visiting you?”

“No, not really. But you haven’t told my mom and dad about this yet, have you?”

Ye Yao’s expression was a bit uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was worried their parents would find out.

“No, we haven’t told them yet.”

Hearing this, Ye Yao let out a breath and showed a relieved expression.

“That’s good. If Mom and Dad found out I was involved in something dangerous and slept for a whole day, it’d definitely worry them. It’s better to not let them worry…”

“Mm… I’ll keep it a secret for Ye Yao.”

Although Chen Wan Ting barely managed to maintain her composure on the surface, her heart was filled with guilt over concealing the truth and tenderness for Ye Yao’s thoughtfulness.

Then, she thought back to the phone call from Xiao Jing yesterday.

Ye Tong had actually gone to Xiao Jing to tattle.

She recounted just how robotic Lou Wei and Fu Qi were.

Luckily, the tougher-minded Ye Tong was the one in control at the time.

If Ye Yao’s consciousness had been in charge, it might’ve created an irreparable rift in their wonderful family.

“Mm, thank you, Auntie, for keeping my secret.

Speaking of which, it seems I had a dream when I was asleep. Uncle and my father appeared in my dream…

In the dream, I seemed to have turned into a big villain, while Father and Uncle were the heroes saving the world.

The look in their eyes was terrifying then, like they wanted to destroy me. Good thing it was just a dream.”

Ye Yao showed a relieved smile.

Chen Wan Ting: “…”

Even someone as gentle as her completely clenched her fists at that moment.

Just as Xiao Jing said, there really was no humanity left.
