Esper X Family – Chapter 45 – I Want to See Rivers of Blood Flow!

Xia Lian carried Ye Yao into the hall.

Mu Luo followed behind, not stopping Xia Lian’s actions.

The others were already seated in the hall, waiting.

Each person sat on a luxurious chair.

There was a considerable distance between each of them.

It felt as if they were each guarding their own throne.

There was a sense of “The Three Admirals ¹ One Piece reference. ” about them.

It was visually striking.

Jiang Huashen spoke up when he saw Xia Lian carrying Ye Yao in.

“Hey, shorty, what happened yesterday? You suddenly disappeared, I thought you were a ghost.”

“Hmph, I’m not ‘hey’, nor am I ‘shorty’.”

Ye Yao voiced her dissatisfaction.

“Well, you never told us your name.”

“Oh, right.”

Only then did Ye Yao remember, and she felt a bit embarrassed.

“My name is Ye Yao.”

Ye Yao chose not to hide her real name.

Mainly because coming up with a fake name was too troublesome. Her brain gave up after thinking for a few seconds.

As long as Mu Luo and the others didn’t expose her real name, it was fine.

This organization had been recognized by the system as “family”, and she could see everyone’s thoughts.

Ye Yao could tell that these people were trustworthy.

At least, there were no troublemakers among them.

Still, Ye Yao added seriously, “Please don’t mention my name in front of others, or something very bad might happen.”

Xia Lian, who was holding Ye Yao, chuckled softly.

“Oh~ Is your name some kind of taboo? Will people die if they hear it?”

“Who knows?” Ye Yao didn’t elaborate further.

She just needed to remind them to be cautious.

Xia Lian soon voiced a new thought.

“Ye Yao? That’s a beautiful name. You’re becoming more and more like an adorable little kitten~”

“Thank you for the compliment. You can put me down now. I won’t run away.”

This time, Ye Yao’s tone was firm and left no room for refusal.

Xia Lian had no choice but to set her back on the ground.

Joking around occasionally was fine, but it would be a big loss if she ended up annoying Ye Yao.

Being lifted is comfortable, though.

Does kitty Ye Yao not like being lifted up?

Xia Lian thought to herself.

Upon seeing Ye Yao, Wu Mi quickly ran over to her, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Ye Yao, I thought you wouldn’t come back…”

She had almost fallen back into the cycle yesterday.

Fortunately, Ye Yao had said that she would return before leaving.

Otherwise, Wu Mi wouldn’t be in this relatively stable state now.

Instead, she would have reverted to being a doll-like loli.

“Don’t worry~ I always keep my promises.”

Ye Yao patted Wu Mi’s head to comfort her.

This loli must be really afraid of falling back into a cycle.

Sequence abilities are truly harmful.

I wonder if there’s another way to escape their influence.

Meanwhile, Mu Luo walked over and took his seat.

“Explain yourself. We’re comrades, so at least let us know why you disappeared for no reason.”

Ye Yao blinked. She led Wu Mi back to her seat before sitting down.

“ Ahem~ Well, here’s the thing…”

Ye Yao omitted the crucial details, mixing truth with lies as she explained her situation.

After a few minutes.

Mu Luo and the others had a rough understanding of the situation.

Xia Lian eyed Ye Yao suspiciously. “So… the current you is like a clone, while your real body is still in that residential complex?”

“Yep, yep, yep!”

Ye Yao nodded vigorously, emphasizing her affirmation.

Mu Luo nodded thoughtfully.

“Can you come out?”

Ye Yao tilted her head. “I’m a Sequence Esper, so I’m under strict surveillance. Only my clone can sneak out.”

“What’s your Sequence number?”

“Don’t know, don’t understand, don’t care.”

Ye Yao delivered a triple denial.

Mu Luo didn’t press further.

Many Sequence Espers under containment didn’t even know that they were Sequence Espers.

Even if they were told, they often didn’t know their exact Sequence number.

When Mu Luo had brought these people out, he had learned their information from the containment facility.

Xia Lian pondered seriously, then said, “Should we go and rescue you?”

Mu Luo immediately covered his face and sighed.

“Lou Wei is guarding that place. He might kill us all.”

“Wow… That’s brutal. The Countermeasures Bureau actually deployed such an overpowered existence? It’s practically cheating.”

Xia Lian backed off.

She walked over to Ye Yao, no longer hesitating to poke the white-haired little girl’s cheek with her finger.

“So you’re a house cat, just occasionally running to another house. Being a two-timer isn’t good, you know.”

Ye Yao turned her head away with a light huff.

“Hmph~ I’m not thinking like that.”

At this point, Xia Lian realized something and looked at Ye Yao curiously.

“Could it be that you’re the Sequence Esper personally monitored by Lou Wei? If he’s personally monitoring you, your Sequence number might even be higher than mine.”

Xia Lian was Sequence 009.

An extremely rare single-digit Sequence number.

She had the potential to single-handedly destroy a nation.

At the time, an S-rank Esper had personally monitored her.

Although Mu Luo had managed to bring her out, he had nearly lost his life in the process.

Now, Ye Yao was living in the neighborhood where Lou Wei resided.

It was hard not to suspect that her Sequence number was unimaginably high.

Ye Yao, however, remained indifferent.

“Who knows? Maybe I’m just an extra.”

“That’s possible too.”

After all, no one said that Lou Wei couldn’t monitor multiple Sequence Espers at once.

It was only normal to maximize the use of individual combat power.

That neighborhood might be hiding a bunch of Sequence Espers.

In the past, Mu Luo would have tried every means to infiltrate it loot everything at once.

But now…

He had to figure out how to survive even a single move from Lou Wei first.

“Ahhh… What should we do? I really want to snatch you away, but we can’t beat those Countermeasures Bureau Espers.”

The thought of the real Ye Yao being trapped in that neighborhood made Xia Lian’s blood boil, her heart filled with frustration.

Ye Yao could only offer some comfort.

“Actually, it’s not so bad. I’m well-fed and have a warm place to sleep. I’m quite content with it.”

Mu Luo spoke up. “You’re still young, so you think it’s acceptable. When you grow up, you won’t feel the same.”

Xia Lian chimed in. “Exactly~ Those who strive for independence will never want to be controlled by anyone. Our destinies should be in our own hands.”

Mu Luo nodded. “That’s the philosophy I’ve always lived by.”

Ye Yao opened her mouth to speak, then stopped, deciding to give up on the argument.

It was pointless to say that she was enjoying it.

Mu Luo and the others wouldn’t listen.

They would just think that it was the naive thoughts of a little girl.

It was better to keep the atmosphere light.

“Then let’s do it! Defeat Lou Wei! Take down the Countermeasures Bureau, and help me escape this misery as soon as possible!”

After all, Mu Luo and the others combined wouldn’t even be enough to take on the stat monster that was Lou Wei.

It could serve as their motivational goal.

As soon as Ye Yao said this, Jiang Huashen and Gu Wenxin’s eyes lit up, clearly having found another goal.

Rеaԁ oո ΚatRеаdіոgСаfe

Xia Lian immediately cheered up, rubbing her cheek against Ye Yao’s.

“That’s the spirit~ Kitties should rebel against tyranny. Once I’ve grown stronger, I’ll definitely come and snatch you back.”

“Hey! Why are you so touchy-feely? Don’t get so close!”

Ye Yao pushed Xia Lian’s face away, then glanced around.

【Xia Lian has decided to make Lou Wei her ultimate goal, determined to defeat him and truly rescue you.】

【Mu Luo has decided to first gather other comrades, then work together to find a way to restrain Lou Wei and create an opportunity for you to escape.】

【Jiang Huashen was grateful for the inspiration you provided and has decided to do everything in his power to rescue you in the future.】

【Gu Wenxin has resolved to help you escape your misery after hearing your request.】

【Wu Mi doesn’t want to fall back into the cycle and wants you to accompany her through different days together.】

Hoho~

Are they planning to team up and act as speed bumps on the highway?

Interesting.

Ye Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

She hadn’t expected a casual remark to ignite such determination in these people.

Mu Luo’s current mental power was over 4,600, just one step away from reaching S-rank.

It was obvious that he planned to infiltrate the neighborhood after reaching S-rank.

But he had no idea that Lou Wei’s mental power had already surpassed 10,000.

That was a true stat monster.

Even with everyone together, they probably couldn’t withstand a single move from him.

Let alone rescue Ye Yao’s true body.

“ Ahem~ No need to rush. Let’s deal with those who are tarnishing our reputation first. After all, I’m still safe for now, so there’s no urgent need to rescue me.”

Ye Yao interrupted the group’s thoughts and pulled out a folded A4 paper from her pocket.

“Ta-da! This is some intelligence I secretly brought out—a list of high-risk Sequence Espers at the bottom ranks!”

This statement successfully shifted everyone’s focus.

“I’ve been a bit bored lately. I want to see rivers of blood flow ² Spongebob meme. The source is the Chinese version of “Spongicus”, or specifically, Season 6 Episode #103a of the show (I did my research). The original English line is “Boring, I want to see some body parts!”. !”
