Esper X Family – Chapter 515 – Time to Raid the Headquarters!

“Huh? Why is the wind picking up? Is it going to rain?”

The older Mo Qiuli opened the window and looked at the sky with a puzzled expression.

There wasn’t a single cloud in sight.

Ye Yao, who had been pondering how to efficiently farm attribute points, immediately snapped to attention.

Wind?

Could it be… the parallel world’s Dayun Truck has come knocking?

Ye Yao wasn’t ready to compete with the Dayun Truck on the national highway just yet.

At the very least, her main body couldn’t be found that quickly. Otherwise, how could she set up her scheme to farm attribute points?

“Little Mo, a really bad person is looking for me. I’m going to hide for a bit. Just act like nothing happened.”

“Huh? Oh.”

The older Mo Qiuli nodded, choosing to trust this kindred spirit who had suddenly appeared.

Ye Yao’s small body was quickly shrouded in black mist. In terms of presence alone, it felt as if she had completely vanished.

If Mo Qiuli didn’t see her with her own eyes, she probably wouldn’t have noticed any trace of Ye Yao’s existence.

The girl’s eyes were full of surprise.

So this is Ye Yao’s “magic”?

It didn’t… seem like the magic of a proper magical girl.

It felt more like that of a “villainess”.

But Ye Yao is so cute. She’s definitely not a villainess.

Then, could the “really bad person” she mentioned be the true villain?

A determined expression appeared on the girl’s face.

She had made up her mind.

If that “really bad person” actually showed up, she would definitely help Ye Yao defeat them!

Rеаⅾ оո КαtRеadiոgCαfе

That was the very meaning of a magical girl’s existence!

Ye Yao looked at the pitch-black mist with a touch of nostalgia.

After who knew how long, she had finally taken this skill out of her storage.

It seemed that as long as it had a unique advantage, it could be pulled out of storage for occasional use.

This black mist could completely block mental power perception. Even Lou Wei could only observe it with the naked eye.

Once she activated this ability, she was virtually invisible in the Esper world!

The next moment.

Through her powerful intuition, Ye Yao felt a faint wave of mental power sweep across the area.

It didn’t linger or lock onto anything, clearly finding no anomalies.

Trying to find her through wide-area perception was still too naive.

It would be better to use surveillance cameras.

Ye Yao and Ye Ge had appeared in plain sight when they first arrived in this world, and their figures had probably been captured by cameras.

However, when Ye Yao came to find Mo Qiuli, she had cleverly avoided the surveillance using various blind spots.

Therefore, they wouldn’t be able to trace her to Mo Qiuli anytime soon.

Moreover, the Countermeasures Bureau would likely take cautious measures.

They probably wouldn’t launch a high-profile “manhunt”.

Mo Qiuli’s mother likely didn’t know about any of this either.

So, she was safe for now!

But the longer time passed, the easier it would be to get exposed. It seemed like creating a diversion elsewhere was the better move.

If the parallel world’s Lou Wei kept his eyes fixed on this city, Ye Yao had no idea how she could experiment with her ideas alongside the older Mo Qiuli.

After all, the original world’s Lou Wei had demonstrated astonishing endurance.

Hanging in the sky all the time, seemingly never tired.

Ye Yao suspected that even if he didn’t find a clue one day, he would just keep acting like a spirit in the sky.

Rеad οո КatRеaⅾiոɡСafе

That mysterious man hanging in the sky was just too authoritative.

He was practically a heavenly eye system ¹ A high definition surveillance system. From what I looked up, apparently they use 360° cameras. .

The moment she showed her face, he would easily catch her.

Ye Yao didn’t want to be so quick to reveal everything.

She still needed to plan!

Simply and crudely sweeping everything aside was too boring.

That would certainly cost her many attribute points.

“Speaking of which, Little Mo, you received intensive training at the Countermeasures Bureau’s headquarters, didn’t you?”

Ye Yao waited until she felt the intensity of the perception gradually fade before asking this question out of the blue.

“Mm-hmm, I’ve been studying at the headquarters ever since I retired.”

The older Mo Qiuli nodded. She clearly didn’t want to recall that very oppressive period.

It was nothing like being a magical girl at all!

Ye Yao nodded and asked a question she was quite concerned about.

“Have you ever heard the name ‘Luo Jianhua’?”

Luo Jianhua, one of the most important family members to Ye Yao.

As a member of the original world’s initial Found Family, and the one who had stayed by her side the longest, the parallel world version of her naturally received more of Ye Yao’s affection.

Ye Yao vaguely remembered the growth story Luo Jianhua had told her.

If she had stayed within the Countermeasures Bureau’s headquarters, she might have methodically become a rising star in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Even if she couldn’t become a second Lou Wei, she might have at least approached his level.

In the original world, Luo Jianhua left the headquarters due to a special mission.

What about the parallel world’s Luo Jianhua, without that special mission interfering? What would her outcome be?

Ye Yao planned to first listen to what the older Mo Qiuli had to say.

Rеαԁ on КαtReаdiոgCαfe

There was just too much to do in the parallel world.

The matter of Sequence Zero could be pushed back a little.

“Luo Jianhua?”

The older Mo Qiuli tilted her head, as if trying to recall the name.

“That name rings a bell. I’ve heard she’s the most brilliant genius among her peers. Compared to her, I’m just a little sweet potato…”

The girl’s tone suddenly dipped a little low.

It seemed that even though she was a few years older, she still couldn’t hide that small seed of inferiority in her heart.

The original world’s Mo Qiuli had been so dazzling that she didn’t know what sky or earth was.

Almost every day, onlookers would praise her to the heavens and pit her against the likes of Lou Wei and Fu Qi in debates.

Her supporters could probably circle the planet once.

Yet, this parallel world’s Mo Qiuli was like an unpolished gem.

Lacking certain life experiences, she had ended up just ordinary.

Ye Yao could only walk over and use the classic gal-game combo, launching straight into a firm headpat.

Even if the act of standing on tiptoes was clumsy, her spirit definitely couldn’t be weak!

“It’s okay, sweet potatoes are cute too. Even cuter after transforming into a magical girl.”

Ye Yao spoke in a motherly tone.

“?”

The older Mo Qiuli was momentarily stunned, then filled with question marks.

This isn’t right, is it?

Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

I should be the older sister figure, right?

Ye Yao had just called her “Sister Mo Qiuli” a moment ago!

The older Mo Qiuli opened her mouth to correct her, but Ye Yao quickly interrupted her train of thought.

Rеaⅾ oո ΚаtReаⅾiոgСαfе

“Don’t worry about those little details. Let’s continue talking about Luo Jianhua.”

Mo Qiuli: “Oh…”

What was she about to say again?

Whatever. She should satisfy Ye Yao’s request first.

“Actually, I saw Luo Jianhua from a distance once. The feeling she gave off was cold, like she didn’t really like talking to people. She’s clearly very cute and would be perfect as a magical girl, but I just couldn’t feel any vitality from her.”

The girl recalled that period.

“Many people said her thinking was already like that of an adult, more mature and reliable than any of her peers, but I felt like she was a little… broken.”

The older Mo Qiuli sounded a bit cautious.

She wasn’t sure if her feeling was correct.

Back then, she hadn’t dared share these views with anyone, afraid of being told she disrespected a genius.

Anyway, the older Mo Qiuli felt that she and Luo Jianhua simply didn’t inhabit the same world.

Why was Ye Yao asking this?

Did she know Luo Jianhua?

“A little broken, huh?”

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

No more words were needed.

It was time to have Ye Ge “raid” the Countermeasures Bureau’s headquarters!

Author Note

So that’s how it is. Everyone’s using the old version, huh? That’s not surprising, that’s not surprising at all… Just use it then! As for this worthless adaptation, just leave it alone!
