Esper X Family – Chapter 38 – Turned into a Stray Cat?

Ye Yao was in charge of goofing off, while the others were responsible for the chaos.

She wouldn’t lift a finger if she could avoid it.

She was determined to slack off to the fullest.

To be honest, Mu Luo didn’t have much motivation to hunt down evil Sequence Espers.

He would rather spend his time searching for contained Sequence Espers.

Ye Yao could see what Mu Luo was thinking.

“There are other benefits to this, you know.”

“Mu Luo, you don’t want to attract more hatred, do you?”

Ye Yao said something that sounded like it came from a certain island nation.

“The Countermeasures Bureau already associates you with those evil Sequence Espers.”

At this point, the white-haired loli raised two fingers.

One represented an individual.

The other represented the group of evil Espers.

Then she pressed the two fingers together.

It was enough to show how Mu Luo’s reputation was faring in the Countermeasures Bureau.

“If you show your face, you’ll be met with the highest level of retaliation. One day, you’ll be hunted down by the Countermeasures Bureau because of all the hatred you’ve attracted.”

Mu Luo couldn’t deny this.

Secretly taking away Sequence Espers was already attracting enough hatred.

If he were to get involved in murder and arson as well…

It might trigger a full-scale mobilization of government Espers.

He might have nowhere to hide.

“Alright, I agree with you. I don’t mind finding and cleaning up some harmful trash.”

Mu Luo didn’t want to gain the Countermeasures Bureau’s favor. He would always oppose them regardless.

He just didn’t want his reputation to be ruined.

If the ‘safe haven’ he had painstakingly built for Sequence Espers were to be labeled as a den of evil.

Mu Luo would feel like killing someone.

After Mu Luo spoke, the others gradually responded.

Xia Lian naturally had no objections.

She was probably the kind of person who would do anything out of boredom.

“Yay~ I agree with both hands and feet~ I’ve been stuck here for so long that my body’s starting to rust.”

As she spoke, a dangerous smile appeared on Xia Lian’s face, her eyes narrowing slightly, and a hint of ferocity flashed in her gaze.

“Hunting evil Sequence Espers, huh? What should we do with them? Break their limbs? Kill them outright? Or beat them half to death and hand them over to Bureau Espers?”

This didn’t sound like something a girl in the prime of her youth would say.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but glance at her, wondering what kind of ability made her so brutal.

【Ability: Blood Collapse

Mental Power: 3,134

Strength: 256

Stamina: 189

Agility: 168】

Wow, an A-rank Esper, and she looks really fierce.

Is Xia Lian secretly a yandere?

Ye Yao couldn’t help but suspect.

However, she didn’t see any such thoughts in Xia Lian’s head.

Maybe it just hadn’t shown yet.

Wu Mi, on the other hand, seemed hesitant. Her furrowed brows and dejected expression made her look pitiful.

“I might not be of much help.”

Having finally found change, yet being unable to keep up with it.

This was the most painful feeling.

In response, Ye Yao patted her head in a friendly manner, her shamelessness becoming more and more evident.

“It’s fine. You and I will just slack off in the back and cheer for the big brothers and sisters.”

They didn’t expect the little loli with double-digit mental power to contribute anyway.

As long as she could act cute, that was enough.

“No matter what, there’ll always be a place for you on the ship sailing toward a future full of changes~”

“Thank you…”

Wu Mi was deeply moved, her eyes almost tearing up.

Jiang Huashen, who had planned to go out for material gathering anyway, had no objections.

To him, everything in the world was like a moving painting.

Any order or morality was just a mere decoration on the canvas.

The shocking act of hunting Sequence Espers was just a special form of material gathering for Jiang Huashen.

Finally, Ye Yao turned to look at Gu Wenxin, who had remained silent the entire time.

“It’s your turn now, what do you say? Wanna do something big?”

“ Sigh— ”

Gu Wenxin let out a long sigh.

“What can I say…”

Ye Yao wasn’t worried that he would refuse to join the operation.

It was clear from his panel.

【Ability: Slaying Evil

Mental Power: 2,846

Strength: 585

Stamina: 464

Agility: 789】

“Your proposal suits me perfectly.”

【Due to the influence of his ability, Gu Wenxin is extremely sensitive to ‘evil’, constantly suppressing the urge to slay ‘evil’.

However, his vigilantism is intolerable in today’s law-abiding society. Your proposal gave him a chance to release himself.】

【Reward: 5 attribute points.】

Ye Yao smiled with satisfaction.

Found Family System, keep adding points!

Rеаⅾ oո КαtRеαdіոɡСаfe

Her mental power instantly increased from 33 to 38.

This round netted her 10 attribute points in total.

It was the right decision to go out “fishing”!

At this moment.

Ye Yao finally felt like she was truly part of this group.

But then she thought.

Wasn’t this a bit like a good kid hanging out with delinquents?

If her parents found out when she got home, she might get a good scolding.

No.

What was more likely to happen was that her stat monster dad would fly into a rage.

He would come flying to slay the one who corrupted the loli.

For the sake of this newfound family.

Ye Yao felt that it was better not to let this be exposed.

Otherwise, how was this any different from a good daughter bringing home a delinquent on a motorcycle?

Ye Yao quickly calculated the time.

The increased mental power extended her fission body’s duration to four hours.

Basically, 10 points of mental power equated to one hour.

With some time left, Ye Yao wanted to discuss more about hunting Sequence Espers.

“We’re talking about hunting them, but how do we find them?”

They couldn’t just patrol the city every night like Loli Mercury.

It would be a joke if they spent all that time and couldn’t find any Sequence Espers with criminal records.

Might as well hang out with Loli Mercury.

At this point, Xia Lian tried to touch Ye Yao but was quickly hissed away.

Although she was rejected, she didn’t seem to mind, still wearing a sweet smile.

“Why not leave this troublesome task to Mu Luo? He can even find Sequence Espers hidden by the Countermeasures Bureau, so what are those rats to him?”

Ye Yao suddenly realized.

Rеаⅾ οո KatRеаdіոɡСafе

So he’s the all-purpose workhorse!

My apologies, my apologies!

“Then it’s settled. Mu Luo will find the enemies’ hiding spots, mark them, and we’ll all head out together to ambush them!”

As Ye Yao spoke, she started to feel a bit fired up.

After all, she was still young. Even though she liked to slack off, she still had fantasies of being a hero.

Xia Lian’s mischievous hands moved again, this time aiming for the tips of Ye Yao’s hair.

“There’s still one problem. Mu Luo might not know every information about Sequence Espers, so he could easily miss important targets.”

Ye Yao shook her white hair, not wanting to let Xia Lian take advantage of her.

It would be dangerous if she got entangled with her.

This girl definitely has yandere potential!

“I’ll solve this problem.”

“How will you solve it?”

Ye Yao’s lips curled into a playful smile as she chose to keep it a secret.

“It’s a secret~”

Unknowingly.

Ye Yao had been here for quite a while.

It was about time to head back.

“I need to go back to sleep. Remember to pick me up at the same time and place next time. I’ll bring a list when I come back.”

Ye Yao waved goodbye to everyone with a smile, then bid “good night” to Wu Mi beside her.

The next second.

The white-haired loli turned into particles of light and quickly dissipated.

Everyone present was left in shock.

“Where did she go?”

Xia Lian was somewhat dazed.

“Turned into a stray cat?”
