Esper X Family – Chapter 55 – Big Brothers and Sisters, the Situation Is Urgent!

“Who? Who is it? Who’s after me!?”

Tang Zhuo was drenched in sweat.

From the commotion on the phone just now, it seemed that his four brothers had already met their demise.

“The Countermeasures Bureau? No! The Countermeasures Bureau couldn’t possibly be so brutal!”

According to their usual methods, they wouldn’t kill on the spot in a one-sided battle.

Only when they couldn’t capture someone would they demand the body be brought back.

A strong will to survive forced Tang Zhuo to calm down.

The more panicked he was, the less likely he was to survive.

Tang Zhuo suddenly realized that he had sensed a strange gaze earlier.

He turned his head for a fleeting glance.

The darkness in his vision seemed to stretch infinitely, like a monstrous beast opening its gaping maw.

They found me!

Tang Zhuo’s subconscious screamed that he absolutely could not engage in a direct confrontation.

And he had never done something as risky as fighting an Esper head-on.

His life philosophy was: when in doubt, run!

“You want to kill me? Try and catch me first!”

With a ferocious expression, Tang Zhuo mobilized all his mental power to activate his ability.

【Mist Array】was fully activated.

Tang Zhuo’s figure gradually faded into the air.

The surroundings were completely enveloped in an inexplicable mist.

Visibility was reduced to less than five meters as thick fog covered the nighttime road.

The abnormal weather at night was terrifying.

The mist didn’t appear gradually but spread out like clouds.

Rеαⅾ оո ΚatReαԁіոɡСafе

Its density was at its peak from the very beginning.

Bang! Crash! Bang!

Loud crashes echoed as the main road was shrouded in thick fog.

The sudden mist obstructed the drivers’ vision, making it impossible to see the road or obstacles ahead, causing a chain reaction.

“What’s with this heavy fog? What’s going on?!”

“My car flipped! Someone help me!!”

Cries for help and wails filled the road.

In just a few seconds.

The traffic was completely paralyzed.

Ye Yao, who had just reappeared, widened her eyes as she looked at the surrounding mist.

“What’s going on?! I can’t see anything!”

Mu Luo narrowed his eyes. “His reaction was quite swift, worthy of someone who’s been walking on the edge for years.”

Tang Zhuo had only panicked for a few seconds before taking action.

He used his ability without hesitation.

Barely managing to hide before they arrived.

Xia Lian looked around, her expression troubled.

“How do we find him? Mental power perception can’t penetrate this mist.”

Ye Yao had also noticed the abnormality of the mist.

The mist created by the ability wasn’t ordinary.

It seemed to block mental power perception.

Even if one’s mental power was far superior to the user’s, the range of perception was only slightly extended.

And Sequence 096 might be able to fully blend into the misty environment.

Within the range of mental power perception, he would be indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

Finding him in the mist would indeed be a challenge.

By the time the mist dissipated, he might have already escaped.

At this moment, Ye Yao missed her stern father’s ability dearly.

He could probably disperse the mist with a wave of his hand.

The longer the mist persisted, the longer the traffic would remain paralyzed.

The mist had likely already caused numerous traffic accidents.

Ye Yao faintly heard the wails from the road.

Just like that night when the fire raged.

They couldn’t let this mist continue on.

“Big brothers and sisters! The situation is urgent, let’s kill Sequence 096!”

Even if Ye Yao hadn’t said it, Mu Luo and the others were already planning to send Tang Zhuo to his grave.

Only Wu Mi was different.

Her eyes sparkled, and she looked particularly happy.

“Ye Yao actually called me big sister…”

Ye Yao turned to look at Mu Luo, who had the highest mental power among them.

“Mu Luo, can you find him?”

“I can try.”

Mu Luo bent down again, using the same ability he had used earlier to locate people.

But before he could find the target, he saw a group he didn’t want to see.

“Countermeasures Bureau personnel are heading this way.”

“Whoa! Let’s run!”

Ye Yao almost thought that Lou Wei was coming after them, her panicked expression resembling that of a frightened little animal.

She turned around and grabbed Wu Mi, ready to flee.

Fortunately, Xia Lian stopped her in time.

“White Catty, what are you afraid of? The Countermeasures Bureau Espers might not even be able to defeat us. It’s not like Lou Wei is here.”

“Huh? That’s true.”

Ye Yao instantly calmed down.

She had been traumatized after being hit by the big Dayun truck.

Hearing about the Countermeasures Bureau made her think that the stat monster was personally coming.

At this moment, Mu Luo spoke up. “There are quite a few A-rank Espers among them. They’re probably here for me. I’ll lure away the main force. You guys kill Sequence 096 and leave. I’ll find you after I escape.”

He was well aware of his ability to attract attention.

This was also the first time he was acting with companions.

Mu Luo decided to lure away the Countermeasures Bureau’s main force alone to avoid implicating the others.

After all, Xia Lian and the others were also wanted targets.

The Countermeasures Bureau would arrest them on sight.

Their ability to escape was far from his level.

Without waiting for a response.

Mu Luo vanished into the darkness, heading off to attract the Countermeasures Bureau’s attention.

“How do we find Sequence 096 now that Mu Luo’s gone?”

Ye Yao hesitated.

She wondered if they should just hand Sequence 096 over to the Countermeasures Bureau.

But this person was the target of their family activity.

If they left now, the family activity might be deemed a failure by the system.

How would she get her attribute points then?

But Sequence 096 was so good at hiding. It didn’t seem easy to find him.

If they took too long, not only will they fail to find Sequence 096, but they might also be surrounded by the Espers who had split up.

Ye Yao was at a loss.

Damn it, I’ve been thinking too much, my brain is starting to itch!

Xia Lian placed her hands on the white-haired girl’s delicate shoulders, speaking in a light tone.

“Don’t rush. Why do you think Mu Luo didn’t take us with him but instead told us to kill Sequence 096 first?”

“Could it be!?” Ye Yao’s eyes widened.

There was someone else in the team besides Mu Luo who could find the target!

“I’ll do it.”

Gu Wenxin stepped forward, his gaze sharp as he looked ahead.

As if the mist had no effect on him.

He closed his eyes, entering a state of extreme perception.

Xia Lian crouched beside Ye Yao and whispered an explanation.

“After you said we’d act together, we spent the day learning about each other’s abilities.”

“Gu Wenxin has a unique talent in the field of locating people.”

“While most Espers rely on enhanced perception to find people, he has abandoned normal perception and instead focuses on the specific type of person he wants to find.”

Ye Yao vaguely guessed what she meant.

At this moment, Gu Wenxin opened his eyes.

The mist still obscured his vision.

But in his sight, the scene had completely transformed.

All obstacles vanished.

Leaving only a pure white space at eye level.

Gu Wenxin saw one flame after another.

The flames varied in size and color.

In the distance, a massive black flame was rapidly moving along the road.

It exuded an overwhelmingly evil aura.

As if countless tortured souls were wailing within its core.

“Found you.”

Gu Wenxin leaped forward, rushing toward the target at incredible speed.

A phrase suddenly popped into Ye Yao’s mind.

“Countering is supreme, special attacks are godly ¹ A saying that is often used in the MOBA game ‘Honor of Kings’, or Arena of Valor for the English version. Basically emphasizes the importance of picking a hero that can counter the enemy’s hero, or heroes with skills that can counter them. !”
