Esper X Family – Chapter 516 – He Believed It, Uncle Believed It!

The wind died down.

“Huff…”

Lou Wei exhaled a turbid breath.

Unfortunately.

No suspicious figure was found.

Even the cute white-haired girl described by passersby and seen on surveillance footage was nowhere to be found.

If even he couldn’t find her, the intelligence department likely wouldn’t have any luck either.

The target had probably left silently and unnoticed.

Of course, the possibility that the target possessed means to conceal herself couldn’t be ruled out.

Since they had first exposed their trail in this city, it was likely that the city held special significance for them.

There was a certain probability they would reappear in this area.

Therefore, Lou Wei decided to remain hanging in the sky for a while, adopting a “waiting by the stump ¹ From a story where a farmer saw a rabbit hit a tree stump and die. Thinking that he can easily get free meals, he decided to abandon his job and just wait by the tree stump, then died of hunger. ” approach.

With him observing twenty-four hours a day, he was bound to spot a figure matching the description eventually.

At least until some other major incident occurred, Lou Wei could focus his efforts on this city.

As for the “rats” that had escaped from the Countermeasures Bureau, they weren’t important anymore.

They would eventually realize that breaking free from containment was a meaningless act.

Just as Lou Wei was about to request coordination from the intelligence department, a startling message arrived from headquarters.

“Temporary designation【Sequence 001】has appeared over the capital!”

Lou Wei: “Huh!?”

Sequence 001 was the temporary designation the Countermeasures Bureau had given to that mysterious black-haired woman, essentially the individual who posed the greatest threat.

Until her intentions were confirmed, the Countermeasures Bureau had to maintain sufficient vigilance.

After all, her style of operation was simply too unconstrained.

She seemed like someone who advocated solving all problems through violence.

All Sentinel Organization bases along with everyone inside them had been utterly annihilated.

Rеaⅾ οn KatReαԁiոɡСаfе

No one knew if the innocent people inside had managed to escape.

If【Sequence 001】truly brought death to both good and evil alike, that would mean she wasn’t easy to negotiate with.

Destroying the “toilet” of the island nation didn’t prove her true stance.

Only further negotiation could reveal what she was thinking.

But now, this woman had suddenly descended over the capital!

This completely unannounced route had jangled everyone’s nerves!

What if she was chaotic evil?

Recalling the means she used to destroy the Sentinel Organization, Lou Wei’s hair stood on end.

He had to return to headquarters immediately!

If she really made a move, would Fu Qi be able to win?

Above the capital.

Ye Ge looked down at the parallel world’s Countermeasures Bureau headquarters from the vantage point.

She was in a very bad mood.

From the older Mo Qiuli, she learned that in this world, Luo Jianhua might have been crushed by things like duty and expectation.

Bearing everyone’s hopes at such a young age.

To avoid disappointing people, she probably had to keep pushing forward, striving to satisfy everyone.

And in that process, she might have buried her true self, putting on the guise of a perfect genius that no one could see through.

Others couldn’t tell, but Mo Qiuli had a powerful intuition.

And facts had proven that her intuition was more accurate than anyone else’s.

Ye Ge had to take her!

Not doing so was unacceptable!

Luo Jianhua could only be raised by her!

Reαd оո ΚαtRеаԁіոɡСаfе

Anyone else raising her would only ruin Luo Jianhua’s life!

Hiss!

Ye Ge was furious, and the consequences would be severe!

Just then, with a ripple of spatial distortion, a familiar figure appeared not far from Ye Ge.

There was no amiable demeanor, only an air of majesty and formality.

The parallel world’s Strongest in History, Fu Qi, made his grand entrance!

As the most powerful individual guarding the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, he certainly couldn’t ignore the massive threat hovering over the capital.

Only he could step forward to negotiate, and only he was qualified to resolve the issue.

The moment Fu Qi tore through space and appeared over the capital, he felt unprecedented pressure.

That figure suspended above the clouds seemed like a rift torn through reality. Simply perceiving her felt like countless needles pricking at his mind, his instincts unleashing a continuous, blaring warning!

Very dangerous!

This woman is very dangerous!

Fu Qi instinctively went on high alert, his powerful instincts even suppressing the amiable emotions he had wanted to project.

What was even more suffocating was her gaze.

Those eyes… no doubt about it!

She’s not human!!!

Fu Qi had faced all kinds of Espers before, and naturally possessed extensive experience and insight.

He could even handle all sorts of troublesome individuals.

But this woman before him was different.

Deep in her pupils, there was no hostility, no curiosity, not even the casual arbitrariness Fu Qi had anticipated. There was only a bone-chilling emptiness, as if everything before her eyes was irrelevant.

When that figure cast its gaze over him, there was only indifference and scrutiny.

The so-called Strongest in History probably meant nothing to her.

Who is she?

Why did she carry herself with such lofty arrogance?

Rеaⅾ oո ΚаtRеaⅾіոɡCаfе

What had she experienced?

“Who exactly are you?”

Fu Qi’s combat instincts screamed warnings.

Faced with such an unknown, he couldn’t possibly negotiate calmly, especially when the intuition that had saved him countless times was howling in alarm.

Fu Qi couldn’t help but recall the satellite images he had seen.

All Sentinel bases had been wiped out, with not a single person remaining.

There might have been many heinous individuals inside, but there were also many innocent, weak ones.

Yet, their endings all seemed the same.

None were spared, all reduced to nothingness.

And the one who had done all this stood before him now.

Fu Qi could usually judge a person’s stance or character by their exhibited traits.

But after seeing her eyes and demeanor, he quickly arrived at an answer.

Human lives were probably just numbers to her.

This negotiation probably wouldn’t end well.

“Ye Ge. That’s my name.”

Ye Ge’s voice had a surreal quality, as if not produced by vocal cords but woven together with raw power.

Just hearing her voice made Fu Qi’s skin crawl.

Ye Ge?

Never heard of it.

It was probably not a code name, but her real name.

His fingertips were cold. Fu Qi could only suppress his instinct to “avoid confrontation” and continue negotiating.

“What is your purpose?”

Ye Ge was silent for a moment.

She was thinking about how to maximize the acquisition of attribute points.

This was a rare parallel world where no emotional ties had been established. No one knew her true nature or origin.

Simply coming to “recognize as family” in an ordinary way would be too boring.

In the original world, the Countermeasures Bureau had been the one to initiate the relationship, making it easy to establish family bonds.

In this parallel world, however, such a bond would likely be very difficult to form.

If she confessed everything outright, it would somewhat ruin her persona.

Looks like she needed to drop a bombshell.

Heh, got it!

“In the near future, I will destroy this world. All life will cease to exist. There is only one way you can stop me, and that is by killing me ² Wait, this plot sounds familiar… .”

“What!?”

Fu Qi instantly bristled.

His first reaction was that it must be a joke.

But the woman’s eyes and tone didn’t seem to be joking at all.

She’s serious!

This is a crime announcement!

Ye Yao, the core beneath Ye Ge’s exterior, was very satisfied.

Good!

Uncle believed it!

This world’s Uncle believed it!
