Esper X Family – Chapter 389 – Big Shot, Stop Stalking Me!

As Ye Yao delved deeper into the topic, the livestream grew increasingly lively.

In short, it was all about the storytelling.

Someone asked if “Sequence Zero” had been absorbed by the Countermeasures Bureau.

Ye Yao’s answer was simple.

“Bullshit! The Countermeasures Bureau can only cooperate, not absorb!”

The old-timer officials watching the livestream wore pained expressions.

Slander away, they thought. It’s fine as long as this little ancestor is happy.

Afterward, they could easily manipulate public opinion to put Sequence Zero’s reputation on par with the Countermeasures Bureau.

That way, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Bureau’s image being tarnished.

But wasn’t it a bit too harsh for Ye Tong to use Ye Yao’s identity and voice to say such blunt things?

Fu Qi and Lou Wei felt their stomachs cramp.

When will this livestream end?

Then, someone in the stream asked for more details about Sequence Zero.

Ye Yao certainly wasn’t about to dox her own people.

“Every member of Sequence Zero is a top-tier Esper, all Innate Sequence Espers. Their capabilities are, of course, very high-end.”

“Originally, everyone should’ve been strictly contained by the Countermeasures Bureau, but after my friend arrived, she got them completely in line. They won’t develop into high-risk Sequence Espers.”

Someone began to question this.

“Can you really guarantee that? Since it’s not a state-managed Esper organization, it’s still a bit concerning.”

“What are upstairs worrying about? The country has no objections, and their track record speaks for itself!”

“They specialize in killing high-risk Sequence Espers. As long as they don’t cause trouble, it’s fine.”

To some extent, Ye Yao releasing this information could also significantly control the crime rate.

Not everyone would continue living a stable life after gaining abilities.

There would always be those who took risks.

Good and evil were only a thought apart.

Although there was an authoritative official organization like the Countermeasures Bureau, a more authoritative, targeted organization was still needed.

Without a doubt, that was Sequence Zero, who killed high-risk Sequence Espers as easily as slaughtering chickens.

Ye Yao wanted her little group to become a symbol of judgment, to prevent certain individuals from getting cocky just because they had some power.

An existence like “Tong Yao” could also serve as a deterrent.

But ultimately, it wasn’t suitable for frequent public displays of power.

The pressure on the Countermeasures Bureau might explode.

She also didn’t have enough attribute points to waste.

She would just have to let Sequence Zero step in, fiercely steal the Countermeasures Bureau’s work, and let Old Gu eat more experience points.

Anyway, she, Ye Yao, didn’t need to get involved. She could just slack off in the rear.

“Hehe~ Let me tell you a little secret. That mysterious wriggly man has already reached a level capable of annihilating a nation, which is the highest rank among Espers that the Countermeasures Bureau has explained to you: S-rank.”

“His habit is probably to use his ability to monitor all activity in his area. Most of the high-risk Sequence Espers that Sequence Zero previously eliminated were found by him.”

“So, don’t do anything bad, because an S-rank Esper might be watching you the entire time.”

This statement was even scarier than being surrounded by surveillance cameras everywhere.

“Scared to tears!”

“Big shot, stop stalking me!”

“Whoa, who are we to deserve this?”

“I’m just a lighter! There’s no way I’d become a high-risk Sequence Esper, right?”

Ye Yao added another point.

“There’s actually more than one S-rank. There’s another S-rank Esper whose habit is to run all over the place. He’s the one in Sequence Zero responsible for reaping. He can see the evil thoughts in people’s hearts. If someone’s malice is too strong, he might just cut them down on a whim.”

As soon as she said this, more people were scared to tears.

“How come there’s another S-rank? I’m only D-rank!”

“Can you old-timers give me a referral?”

“I want to join Sequence Zero too! Let me join! I’ll do anything!”

Ye Yao blinked.

Want to join Sequence Zero?

That’s a bit tricky.

First, let’s see if the system would recognize them as family.

If they could pass the system’s family verification, then Sequence Zero could definitely expand its ranks.

Unfortunately, the system was very picky.

At the very least, candidates needed to meet one of these three criteria: be strong in stats, have strong mechanics, or show future potential.

Ye Yao had figured it out. The Found Family system was also obsessed with power.

If one didn’t have a unique skill, it wouldn’t take notice at all.

“That’s all for today’s stream~ Although there’s still a lot I want to talk about, like the evil underground organization ‘Sanctuary’, the Great Purge in the Yunited States, and the world’s enemy, the Vengeful Spirits… it’s getting a bit late today. Let’s chat again next time.”

Seeing that the streamer was about to go offline, the viewers immediately became anxious.

“Are you kidding? It’s only been a few hours and it’s over? That’s not enough!”

“No! You drop all that juicy info and then just end it? You must be doing this on purpose!”

“Streamer, I’ll send you gifts! Say more! Please, just a bit more! If I don’t hear more stories, I’ll feel like ants are crawling all over me!”

“Awesome! Isn’t this way more explosive than the Countermeasures Bureau’s info? Old-timer, give us more insider scoop! I believe you now!”

Ye Yao let out a cheerful laugh, decisively ending the stream without a second thought. She was quite the black-hearted one.

Inside the headquarters’ meeting room.

The atmosphere was very quiet.

The livestream screen was already off.

Only a barrage of lamenting comments scrolled wildly.

That final move and the blood-pressure-spiking antics further proved that it was indeed Ye Tong.

No one dared deny it now.

“How… Did she do it? Silently replacing Ye Yao, and what’s with that appearance? Could it be Jiang Huashen?”

Someone uttered a bitter question.

Now that things had developed to this point, they couldn’t stop it.

But they wanted to understand.

Since it had come to this, Fu Qi had no choice but to explain the truth to them.

Things like what the satellite surveillance showed, and their own speculations.

Ye Tong was Ye Yao’s ability avatar, and the two were identical in appearance and build.

That young girl appearance was actually Jiang Huashen’s work.

After Fu Qi revealed the truth, the pressure on everyone increased even more.

How were they supposed to tell them apart!?

No wonder Ye Tong had said that when she first entered the Esper world, Lou Wei had cornered her.

It turned out that Ye Tong had truly just been born at that time!

Now, the situation has become a tangled mess of spaghetti code.

One wrong move and the whole system might collapse.

For now, the Countermeasures Bureau had to leave it be. As long as the program could still run, the rest would be left to their future selves!

Inside the dorm.

Ye Yao made a cheerful sound.

“Hoo~ That felt great. It really felt great. Who told them to keep slandering me?

Watch me scare them to death with Old Mu and Old Gu!

But the netizens are generally pretty innocent, so they probably won’t be too scared.”

Logically, only those with a guilty conscience would be frightened.

Normal people would probably feel quite reassured, right?

“Sister seems very happy. You’ve been talking for so long, have some water first.”

Luo Jianhua thoughtfully handed Ye Yao some water.

Starting from noon, Mo Qiuli and the others had gone out one by one.

After all, during the livestream, it was hard for Ye Yao to stick close with the others.

Only Luo Jianhua stayed by her side, massaging her and pouring water for her.

“Sister, are you going to act as Ye Tong again tomorrow?”

“Hehe~ What do you think?”

Author Note

It’s great that the water bill didn’t explode. I was even prepared to put a bounty on it.
