Esper X Family – Chapter 372 – Not Just Vengeful Spirits? Even More Threats

Something is off. Very off.

The friendliness in Wu Mi’s eyes rapidly transformed into vigilance.

What did An Qi mean by that?

Why did it feel like she was trying to take Ye Yao home to meet her family and seal the deal?

Is that right?

That’s very wrong!

They were all friends, all sisters. How did An Qi get to be so forward?

“What’s this about visiting your grandmother?”

Ye Tong explained, “An Qi hasn’t seen her grandmother since she was taken away by the Countermeasures Bureau. This time, I’m taking her back for a visit.”

Wu Mi tilted her head.

Perhaps it wasn’t ‘meeting the parents’ in that sense? Perhaps it was just a visit?

An Qi continued, “Grandma will definitely be pleased when she sees Ye Tong. She’ll definitely feel assured leaving me in Ye Tong’s care. After all, this is the choice of fate.”

Something’s definitely off!

Wu Mi’s vigilance shot to its maximum.

This An Qi definitely had her own ulterior motives.

Wasn’t this exactly ‘meeting the parents’?

Wu Mi’s mind raced with anxiety. She suddenly felt an urge to replicate this.

If An Qi could take Ye Yao to meet her family, why couldn’t she?

But then she thought of her own so-called parents, and Wu Mi’s plan instantly crashed and burned.

Those biological parents of hers weren’t worthy of meeting Ye Yao.

What about Fang Tang?

Go, Fang Tang!

Use your shocking intellect to expose An Qi’s schemes!

Wu Mi cast a hopeful glance at Fang Tang.

But the pink-haired loli was lost in thought.

“What is this ‘choice of fate’?”

A pig teammate ¹ Term for teammates who are more of a burden. with a rating of three point zero ² Very low player rating in LoL. Apparently you need a KDA of something like 0/7/4 to get 3.0 or less. .

Wu Mi had given up on Fang Tang.

Just then, Ye Tong placed a hand on Wu Mi’s head and patted it, finding her thoughts somewhat amusing.

The little stirrings in Wu Mi’s heart were genuinely interesting.

So cute, oblivious to the ways of the world.

Even her possessiveness was adorable.

“Don’t worry. Isn’t my main body still here with you all? This time, I’m just accompanying An Qi to meet her guardian, so her grandmother can feel at ease letting An Qi operate with us from now on.”

Feeling Ye Tong’s head pat, Wu Mi relaxed considerably.

Thinking about it carefully, it was true.

Ye Yao’s main body was right beside them. What was there to worry about?

No matter how many little schemes An Qi had, they couldn’t compare to the closeness she and Fang Tang shared with Ye Yao!

Relieved, truly relieved.

“Then Ye Yao, remember to share the stories from your trip with us. It’s good for us to learn more about our companion’s family.”

“That depends on An Qi.”

An Qi: “I don’t mind.”

Although she wanted to monopolize Ye Yao completely, she couldn’t ignore the fate lines on Wu Mi and the others.

They, too, were companions chosen by fate to walk alongside Ye Yao.

Since their fates were so similar, they would just have to get along well.

But when it came to sticking close, it still depended on individual effort!

Fate would guide her!

The meeting didn’t last long.

Ye Tong didn’t want to linger at headquarters, hissing at Lou Wei and the others.

Especially since little An Qi kept urging her to leave.

To appease this little cutie, Ye Tong had to put hissing at people on the back burner.

She would come back later to confront that big Dayun Truck loaded with steel coils!

Reuniting An Qi with her grandmother was more important.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang then left the Dark Erosion Space and returned to the dormitory via the same route.

The mysterious wind-blowing man observed everything calmly from the air.

Seeing that Ye Tong didn’t intend to come out and communicate, Lou Wei inexplicably felt relieved.

He still felt he couldn’t face her.

Ye Tong had been so wronged, to the point of setting aside her pride to complain to Xiao Jing.

Lou Wei couldn’t imagine how much resentment she held towards him.

A meeting would likely involve unprecedented pressure.

Perhaps he should drag Fu Qi into facing it with him.

After all, Fu Qi’s mental power had broken through ten thousand.

More ability, more responsibility.

When pressure came, he had to share some with him.

But before that, he would observe for a while. This period counted as a rare peace.

The Sanctuary had already been eliminated. There probably wouldn’t be any enemies for some time.

This gave the Countermeasures Bureau breathing room to accumulate strength for future threats.

As far as vengeful spirits were concerned, Lou Wei and Fu Qi had already devised relatively comprehensive countermeasures and development directions.

Of course, this was assuming that future enemies were only simple, understandable vengeful spirits.

Facing enemies reduced to instinct would be much less troublesome.

As long as one was strong enough, they could simply crush them.

This premise depended on Ye Yao not attracting new enemies.

At the same time.

A seemingly gentle and quiet girl stood on a balcony, gazing at the starry sky.

Her eyes seemed able to see through distant galaxies, disregarding distance.

Neither time nor space could block her sight.

Tu Sheng was observing certain possibilities.

Just as intelligent beings wouldn’t become mere lambs for slaughter when they faced powerful enemies.

Faced with a threat far surpassing their own power, sufficiently intelligent beings would often choose to take the initiative and solve the problem.

Vengeful spirits were the products of civilizations that failed to survive. They lacked the ability to take the initiative.

But if an unknown civilization in an unknown timespace could foresee a threat’s arrival in advance, could they just sit idly and wait for death?

Tu Sheng didn’t believe that the power within her, one capable of observing all things, was unique.

Perhaps there were many other means capable of sensing the world-destroying ability’s existence.

Intelligent beings all had the will to survive.

The weak would choose to flee and beg for mercy.

The strong, however, might use every means to actively seek a chance for survival.

Tu Sheng thought of this, and thus chose to observe. A soft, gentle light shimmered in her pupils.

A few minutes later, she closed her eyes, an expression of “just as I thought” on her face.

“It’s not just vengeful spirits…”

“So there are also radical factions proactively seeking destruction, all for their own continuation?”

Tu Sheng shook her head.

Seeing them rejoice at their civilization’s immense progress, but upon developing the ability to predict threats, discover that no matter how powerful they became, destruction was inevitable…

Rеαⅾ oո КαtRеaⅾіոɡСαfе

That transformation from hope to despair and then hysteria was truly disheartening.

Many would stop at nothing to survive.

Let alone a united civilization. To ensure its continuation, it would be even more ruthless.

But they would never imagine that even if they exhausted every effort to destroy the source of calamity, it still wouldn’t save their home.

In the end, it would all be for nothing.

After resting a moment, Tu Sheng observed again.

“And there are lunatics trying to control this power?”

These weren’t simply seeking survival anymore, but ambitious people left with only greed and the desire for hegemony.

Trying to use this power to rule the universe… they certainly had the qualifications to become overlords.

Looking at it this way, vengeful spirits were actually the least troublesome of the bunch.

Tu Sheng sighed softly.

If Ye Yao knew that so many factors were trying to interfere with her desire to slack off, she would probably be very anxious and uneasy.

She probably wouldn’t even enjoy her meals anymore.

Tu Sheng didn’t plan on telling Ye Yao so soon. She would at least let her relax for a while.

As for Lou Wei and the others…

They still had plenty to do at this stage. Telling them too much would just overwhelm them, and might even cause their pressure to explode.

For now, she would have to keep this information to herself.

After all, only Tu Sheng possessed an unreasonable optimism about the future and about Ye Yao.

“Regardless of the future… Let’s just relax for a while, my dear cousin.”
