Esper X Family – Chapter 532 – The Base Was Raided

“So that’s about it. Pretty impressive, don’t you think?

I broke through the boundaries of time and space for a lost family member.

You won’t treat me like some rambling little kid anymore, right?”

There was no conflict.

Inside the painting world, Ye Yao held nothing back in her explanation.

After all, these companions of hers were already feeling insecure enough.

If she didn’t make things clear, who knew how long it would take to finally reunite with her family?

She was here to speedrun and collect attribute points!

All those formalities could be tossed aside.

The Sequence Zero of this parallel world had to rise up fast.

Only then could she achieve her goal with maximum efficiency.

Just as expected.

After listening to Ye Yao’s story, Yin Yi was touched, feeling a sense of being valued.

“I didn’t realize my disappearance worried so many people. I’m really sorry!”

The Yin Yi in the original timeline had left first.

She was also the first to be captured by the Sentinel organization.

The moment that happened, she activated her ability and escaped to a parallel world.

When she regained consciousness, she had just been smuggled out of the Countermeasures Bureau by parallel Mu Luo.

After learning that something sinister was out there capturing Espers, Yin Yi explained her origins and gave a warning.

The warning made An Qi and Yu Jin, who were supposed to leave later, wait for a while.

That was how they escaped disaster.

And the Yin Yi from the original world naturally didn’t know what happened afterward, nor did she recognize anyone named Ye Yao.

“It’s okay. What matters is that you’re safe. Sequence Zero never abandons any of its own.”

Ye Yao’s first impression of Yin Yi was also good. She seemed like she was a cute little loli three years ago.

She was also an important turning point in this parallel world.

Without her, the parallel Sequence Zero would have been even more fragmented.

Xia Lian’s transformation from a weakling into a dragon was largely thanks to Yin Yi!

The older An Qi muttered after hearing everything.

“So it really was fate.”

The older Wu Mi had already started treating Ye Yao as a friend.

And just like that, Ye Yao successfully recognized three family members!

With the 15 attribute points credited, she could now see the status panels of the three.

The older Wu Mi had very low mental power. After all, she hadn’t experienced the events of World of Cycles nor had she been tricked by the Sanctuary’s Source Fire. No misfortune meant no unexpected gain.

The same went for the older An Qi. Without the Sentinel organization’s “Holy Blood” drug, her mental power hadn’t seen a significant boost either.

As for Yin Yi…

【Ability: Parallel Body Leap ¹ 同位体 (literally: same position body/substance) is also the term for ‘isotope’. 跃迁 means transition (physics) or quantum leap. The ability kinda reminds me of D4C.

Mental Power: 950

Strength: 30

Stamina: 35

Agility: 28】

【Feeling warmth from your care, her familial love value increased slightly. Reward: 10 attribute points】

Yin Yi immediately shared 15 attribute points with Ye Yao.

A qualified family member!

Parallel Xia Lian and the others had also heard everything from behind.

The two adult males were fine, as they had submitted quickly.

But parallel Xia Lian felt like her world had collapsed.

It was a case of flood washing away the dragon king’s temple ² Explained in chapter 67. Basically means a dispute between family members due to a misunderstanding. !

The White Catty wasn’t here to break up this family, nor to join it. She had always been part of it!

And yet, she had actually attacked Ye Yao, acted so ferociously, and almost killed her.

She had finally found a “cat” who wasn’t afraid of her.

Was she going to be hated now?

It’s over.

Completely over.

Life has no meaning anymore.

According to Ye Yao, Ye Yao had done even better. Not only did she lead Sequence Zero onto the right track, but she also gave them honor and status. Freedom and dignity were firmly in their grasp.

And what about Xia Lian?

She couldn’t do that.

Even at S-rank, she could only lead everyone to hide right under the Countermeasures Bureau’s nose.

She didn’t dare show her face, afraid that a mysterious windy man would suddenly appear, capture everyone, and lock them up separately.

If it weren’t for little An Qi’s contributions, they might not have lasted this long.

Just as parallel Xia Lian was lost in wild thoughts, the restraints on her suddenly loosened.

She was freed.

“Alright. Now that everything’s out in the open and you all know where I come from, what’s your choice? Will you follow me and make a big move, or keep hiding?”

Parallel Xia Lian met Ye Yao’s gaze, one that showed no different treatment.

The anxiety in her heart vanished instantly.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

“Do you even have to ask? If what you say is true, you’ve done better than Mu Luo and me.

I’m willing to listen to you. Let me see what you can do. If things don’t get better…

I’ll take care of you too.”

“You sure talk big. The you in the original world wouldn’t dare speak to me like that.”

Ye Yao glanced at parallel Xia Lian with surprise.

“Don’t treat me as the same person as the shadow in your memory. She’s a weakling, but I’m not. At the very least, I can restrain my emotions.”

“Really?”

Ye Yao tilted her head.

The moment she finished her story, she and parallel Xia Lian had already more or less recognized each other.

Parallel Xia Lian even contributed 5 attribute points.

Her familial love increase was even higher than Yin Yi’s.

A total contribution of 20 attribute points.

This parallel version of the weakling would never have guessed that Ye Yao could organize intel with a system.

【She wants to kiss you to death】

Rеаԁ оո ΚαtRеαⅾіոgСafe

What Ye Yao faced was a parallel Xia Lian who had suppressed her feelings for three years.

And what parallel Xia Lian faced was a White Catty who wasn’t afraid of her and embodied the very essence of “cat”.

She seemed to need only one trigger to start her cat-loving campaign.

Too repressed. Truly too repressed.

It was hard to imagine that in these three years, she hadn’t forced her affection on Wu Mi or the others.

She was simply the most repressed person in history!

Ye Yao didn’t dare to think about what parallel Xia Lian would do if she let her have her way.

“Of course it’s true!”

Parallel Xia Lian declared earnestly.

Ye Yao remained skeptical.

【She wants to bury her face in your little belly and inhale deeply】

Ugh, your thoughts aren’t convincing at all.

You’re even more perverted than the original weakling Xia Lian.

Ye Yao was starting to feel a little intimidated.

But just then, she sensed something and left a sentence behind.

“You all stay here for now. I’m going out to take a look.”

As soon as Ye Yao finished speaking, she switched to her Ye Ge form and reappeared in the front yard of the house outside.

She seemed to hear the howl of wind.

A massive source of mental fluctuations was approaching at high speed.0

Ye Ge looked closely.

“Oh? Drawn in by the commotion earlier?”

The black-haired figure rose into the air, stowing away the painting that held her new Sequence Zero family members. She didn’t leave immediately.

Soon.

A man’s figure appeared in Ye Ge’s field of vision, wrapped in a violent gale.

At the same time, parallel Lou Wei spotted that highly threatening figure as well!

Rеaԁ оո ΚatReαⅾiոɡСαfe

Ye Ge!

What was she doing here?

Wasn’t this supposed to be a suspected hiding spot of the runaway innate Sequence Espers?

Ye Ge’s gaze swept over, her lips moving silently. No sound came out, but it seemed like she mouthed two syllables.

If interpreted with lip reading, it sounds like… fu… qin ?

Fu Qi? Playing a zither ³ 抚琴fu qin. 琴qin is zither. ? Fuqing ⁴ 福清 Fuqing, a county in Fuzhou. ? Father ⁵ 父亲 fu qin. ?

What did it mean?

Parallel Lou Wei wanted to go over, but then sensed her presence fading.

“Wait!”

But Ye Ge had no intention of staying. She prepared to retreat silently right under parallel Lou Wei’s nose.

That man reached out his large hand, only to grasp empty air.

He got a preliminary taste of the gap in strength.

Parallel Lou Wei fell silent.

He hadn’t activated any form skills yet, but at least in his normal state, the other party was stronger than him.

“Just how strong is she?”

At the same time.

The mysterious wriggly man, who had rushed back frantically, watched the threatening figure in the air silently from the shadows.

“…”

The sky had fallen.

He hadn’t made it in time after all.

His base had been raided!

Author Note

Sigh, I’ll just keep writing and see if I can reach two million words, but I don’t think I can write that long.
