Esper X Family – Chapter 400 – Next Up, Storytime!

Every topic Ye Yao brought up was undeniably compelling.

Some viewers might have been unhappy that she skipped over the “Tong Yao” subject, but many more were quickly absorbing the new information.

This was insider information that even the Countermeasures Bureau wouldn’t disclose!

No matter what she said, the audience accepted it wholeheartedly!

“Let me tell you, the Sanctuary is like the shadiest rat hiding in the darkest corner of the sewers!

They’re even shadier than the Mysterious Wriggly Man from Sequence Zero. They’re definitely my most hated organization.”

This single sentence piqued the audience’s intense curiosity.

“The Sanctuary loves to operate behind the scenes. They were founded a long time ago and have been secretly manipulating supernatural disasters throughout history. You could say that most of those disasters were orchestrated by them.”

The audience immediately understood.

These are the real dangerous ones.

“At first, the Countermeasures Bureau had no idea who they were. They only knew that an organization was covertly controlling the high-risk Sequence Espers hiding in society.

Guess what? The Mysterious Wriggly Man took the blame! Initially, the Bureau assumed that he was colluding with the high-risk Sequence Espers.”

Ye Yao glanced at the barrage of comments.

“Hahaha! The Mysterious Wriggly Man’s reputation got ruined.”

“Are you crazy? The streamer can badmouth an S-rank powerhouse, but can you? Don’t forget, he might be watching you right now and could easily deal with you.”

“Holy crap! Why didn’t you say so earlier!?”

Ye Yao held back a snicker.

By now, Mu Luo definitely knew that she was talking about all this online.

After all, Old Mu saw all and heard everything. He could be called the Sovereign of the Night.

Although his initial impression was a bit ‘wriggly’, becoming an S-rank Esper had given him some presence.

At this point, only Ye Yao had the right to call him the “Mysterious Wriggly Man”. People from the Countermeasures Bureau would have to respectfully address him as “Mr. Mu Luo”.

In this era, S-rank Espers weren’t exactly common.

But even though Mu Luo knew what she was saying, he definitely wouldn’t have a problem with it.

Ye Yao could freely badmouth anyone, let alone Mu Luo, who had been quite problematic in the early days.

“The Countermeasures Bureau had such a strong impression of the Mysterious Wriggly Man because he’d been focused on collecting Innate Sequence Espers. So, they assumed that he’d also try to collect high-risk ones.

In reality, there was no connection between them at all. But the Mysterious Wriggly Man never intended to clarify either. He just kept wriggling frantically within the Bureau.

It wasn’t until my friend was picked up by him that this misunderstanding slowly cleared up.”

Ye Yao didn’t plan to go into too much detail.

After all, she was a lazy cat at heart. Talking too much would make her mouth dry. So, she simply cut things down, picking and choosing a few stories to tell.

Like how the Sanctuary had constantly been inciting high-risk Sequence Espers to commit evil acts.

Or how someone from the Sanctuary had once tried to recruit the streamer’s friend.

Or how the Sanctuary had infiltrated the Countermeasures Bureau, showcasing their formidable influence.

The audience listened, their hearts pounding with fear.

If such an evil organization still existed in the world, wouldn’t countless lives be lost sooner or later?

“Come to think of it, do you all remember that terrorist attack in a certain coastal city a while back?

Actually, around that time, my friend led Sequence Zero and had nearly wiped out the high-risk Sequence Espers.

Having lost so many pawns, the Sanctuary became desperate and decided to go all out to achieve their goal. They gathered their remaining high-risk Sequence Espers and planned to sacrifice an entire city’s population.”

As Ye Yao spoke, the audience quickly recalled the major incident that had happened not long ago.

An entire city under attack, the scale was so massive it couldn’t possibly be kept under wraps.

It was said that everyone in that city had been pulled into a dark, sticky space, which was how they survived that fatal disaster.

“Actually, my friend had the Mysterious Wriggly Man do that. There were too many bystanders getting in the way; it was impossible for my friend to operate freely. They couldn’t even serve as bloodthirsty spectators, so it was better to just get them all off the stage.”

Naturally, some people who had been there chimed in from the live stream.

“Thanks for the invite. I was on-site and got to enjoy an S-rank Esper’s service. Felt pretty eerie. I almost peed my pants.”

“I had no idea the Sanctuary had such power. My hometown is there. My whole family almost ascended to heaven!”

“What about the Countermeasures Bureau? Where was the Countermeasures Bureau? Somebody should’ve saved us!”

Ye Yao glanced at the comments and decided to give the Countermeasures Bureau a bit of face.

“At that time, the Countermeasures Bureau sent out an undercover agent. That undercover agent paid a heavy price to relay crucial intel back. I think they dispatched three S-rank Espers to handle the situation.”

Under Ye Yao’s narration, the audience finally learned what had transpired.

“But the Sanctuary was prepared. They also sent Espers of the same rank to tie down the Bureau’s powerhouses, allowing the remaining high-risk Sequence Espers to rampage.”

The audience was starting to sweat.

From what they knew, S-rank Espers were national-level powerhouses, true strategic figures.

And yet, six S-rank Espers had been duking it out in a single city that day?

The people of that city seemed to owe their survival to the “Mysterious Wriggly Man” the streamer mentioned. That was a debt of gratitude akin to being reborn.

If they didn’t already know the outcome, the viewers would have been scared out of their minds.

“But back then, the Sanctuary had only considered the Countermeasures Bureau. They completely overlooked Sequence Zero, or rather, they had no idea how terrifying my friend’s level was.”

Ye Yao was getting to the exciting part.

“At that moment, my friend descended like a king, leading the other companions to protect the innocent civilians! After having the Mysterious Wriggly Man clear the area, my friend conjured a nuclear explosion with her own hands, easily wiping out the Sanctuary’s minions. Even the Sanctuary’s own S-rank Espers were annihilated in an instant, without the slightest ability to resist!”

The audience was stunned.

Insta-killing S-rank Espers? Was that even human?

“Wait, according to the streamer, her friend only entered the Esper world recently, right?”

“Yeah, yeah! First she cosplayed as a speed bump and got crushed by the Strongest of the Current Era, and suddenly she can one-shot S-rank Espers?”

“Speaking of which, not much time has passed. What kind of cheat did the streamer’s friend use? Can I get one too?”

“This powercreep is insane! Are we even playing with the same power system?”

The audience was dumbfounded, feeling like their Dao Hearts were shattering.

Was the gap between individuals really that huge?

Wasn’t reaching S-rank supposed to mean you could do whatever you wanted?

How come they sounded worse than dogs in the streamer’s story?

“Anyway, the Sanctuary’s scheme was effortlessly crushed. Sequence Zero completely dismantled their setup in Dragon Country, sending them fleeing in disarray!”

Ye Yao glanced at the various exclamations flooding her live stream’s comments and felt deeply satisfied.

Putting aside everything else, the cascade of “Awesome!”, “Holy crap!”, and “666 ¹ 666 is considered a lucky number in China, mostly because 6 (六liu) sounds like 禄lu (prosperity). ” was enough to bring Ye Yao immense joy.

After all, showing off was definitely more satisfying when there was an audience to cheer you on.
