Esper X Family – Chapter 505 – Were the Family Members Hit by the Dayun Truck?

The sky was falling.

Ye Yao had considered that the time point might be different; perhaps it was a little earlier, or perhaps a little later.

But why was the gap this huge?

The current timeline was already three years past the point when she was adopted in her original timeline!

Three years. That was far too late to change anything.

Ye Yao’s mind went into overdrive, leaving her frozen in place.

Three years had passed, meaning many things were now beyond her control.

Mo Qiuli might already be caught up in the Flame Demon incident. Given her personality, she wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. She would definitely step up.

And since “Ye Yao” didn’t exist, Lou Wei would have no reason to be in that city.

Without a decisive powerhouse to settle things, how could anyone stop that rampaging, fire-starting beast?

It would still be manageable if she were only seriously injured. Even with lasting aftereffects, Ye Yao could ascend to godhood and heal her completely.

The real fear was that she might just die.

Then there was Luo Jianhua. She probably wouldn’t have received the mission and would still be stuck at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, steadily improving.

Given the teaching style of those hardcore metaslave old-timers, three years later, Luo Jianhua might as well have turned into a robot.

Fang Tang was probably fine.

After three years of settling in the restricted zone… Unless Mu Luo lured her away, she should’ve been able to gain control of her ability with the Bureau’s help and become a full member.

As for Wu Mi and the others…

Before Ye Yao became active, Mu Luo had already lured them away.

Ye Yao couldn’t even imagine what state that group would be in under Mu Luo’s leadership.

They would be lucky if Lou Wei didn’t kick them to death in one blow.

The most serious issue was that without the “safety net” mission, Lou Wei might take matters into his own hands.

That Super Dayun Truck was capable of crashing his way through the Esper world at will.

With his strength, he could overpower every modern Esper without breaking a sweat.

Mu Luo and the others would be nothing more than speed bumps, the kind that barely slowed him down!

It was fine if Lou Wei didn’t crash into them. But if he did, things would go very badly.

The best-case scenario was that Lou Wei showed mercy, captured them, and brought them back to the Bureau for re-containment.

However, if Lou Wei were merciless, Mu Luo would probably be done for.

“It’s over. In this timeline, Old Mu might’ve already been hit by the Dayun Truck.”

Ye Yao murmured to herself, feeling that Mu Luo’s fate was grim.

That said, Mu Luo usually operated alone.

Even if he was hit by the Dayun Truck, he would likely be on his own.

The others might still be safe.

Even if they were found, they would probably just be taken back to the Bureau.

Looking at it that way… it seemed like a tolerable outcome?

As long as they were alive, there was still room to maneuver. If they were dead, there would be nothing left.

“I hope everyone’s okay.”

Actually, Mu Luo and the others were in a relatively good position. The biggest advantage was that they were within Dragon Country’s borders.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s methods were fairly gentle. For Innate Sequence Espers like them, they would at most be strictly monitored to prevent them from causing trouble.

As long as they weren’t malicious enough to become high-risk Sequence Espers, there was still a chance for rehabilitation.

But it was a different story abroad.

Foreign Esper organizations weren’t nearly as restrained as the Countermeasures Bureau.

If an Esper with immense potential fell into their hands, they would almost certainly be in grave danger!

Ye Yao immediately thought of An Qi and Yu Jin.

After three years, were they still alive?

Given the Sentinel Organization’s methods, their chances were slim.

Even with all her power, Ye Yao could hardly turn back time to save others.

At that thought, the “plan” she had prepared in her mind went up in smoke.

With a three-year jump, the original plan was meaningless.

The thought that some of her family members might already be preparing for a resurrection match killed any desire she had to joke around.

“Sigh… even if they’re just alternate versions in a different timeline, I really can’t treat them like strangers. If something really happened to them, even I’d be heartbroken…”

Ye Yao’s expression turned gloomy. She no longer even had the heart to check on the last member of the Sequence Zero.

At least that one was still alive. But her parallel-world family members might have already met with misfortune.

That was the hardest part.

The only consolation was that this was a parallel world, not her original timeline. Ye Yao was only a little bit upset.

“In that case… it wouldn’t matter if I went a little dark, right?”

Ye Yao urgently needed to vent a fire burning in her chest.

She still didn’t know the situation with the Sanctuary, and their lair would be hard to find.

That left only one major nation’s organization, the one that hadn’t been leveled yet.

Ye Yao let out another soft sigh, then let go of Ye Ge’s hand.

The next second.

Ye Ge vanished.

When she reappeared, she was already high above the sky.

Target: the Yunited States!

“Attribute Fission.”

The newly activated【Inhibition】took effect immediately, and her mental power of 500 instantly soared to 250,000.

She didn’t need hundreds of millions of mental power for this era. There was no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

At this moment, Ye Ge didn’t hide her presence. She let her aura leak freely.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Country’s Countermeasures Bureau instantly detected a massive energy source high above!

“Warning! Warning! A massive mental power fluctuation has appeared over our city. Preliminary assessed as the aura of an S-rank Esper!”

“Impossible! This is the fluctuation of an Esper? Are these numbers normal for an Esper?”

“It couldn’t be Lou Wei, right? Why would Lou Wei suddenly show up here without warning?”

The Bureau’s branch command center in the city immediately went into full alert.

Such a massive mental power fluctuation wasn’t something an ordinary Esper could produce.

Some speculated that it was a foreign research achievement!

The Bureau had long known that foreign organizations were unable to compete with Dragon Country in sheer Esper strength, and had turned to Esper technology.

With their complete lack of ethical boundaries, they had developed many forms of mental power technology.

As the saying goes, the level of biotechnological progress is inversely proportional to the researchers’ moral standards.

The lower the moral floor, the greater the potential results!

Given their unrestrained research, they might indeed have created a terrifying superweapon!

Could that unidentified mental power fluctuation high in the sky be some nation’s research achievement?

Or was it a brand-new, unknown factor born within Dragon Country itself?

“Lock onto the source immediately! We need to analyze the motive as soon as possible!”

“It’s moving!”

The commander’s heart jumped, and sweat instantly poured down his back.

With mental power this massive, if it were unleashed, it would be an utterly terrifying disaster.

It wasn’t going to come crashing down, was it?

Who could possibly react to such a sudden “strike”?

“No! It’s leaving our airspace! It seems their target isn’t here!”

Commander: “?”

A narrow escape!

He had to thank his good fortune.

But the commander quickly realized that something was wrong.

If this powerful mental power fluctuation had appeared over their city’s airspace, it had to be connected to this place somehow.

And since its target wasn’t here, as it appeared and then left, it was very likely that the source was from this area!

That meant…

This city was hiding an unknown, unstable factor!

And it was at the “nuclear bomb” level!

Not only had they failed to detect it in advance, but they had also allowed it to enter an “eruptive” state.

It wasn’t just the commander. Every higher-up felt the suffocating pressure of a python coiling around them.

Who on earth was it?
