Esper X Family – Chapter 554 – Cause and Effect Is About to Strike!

“Have we met somewhere before?”

As Parallel Fu Qi asked this question, the others who also felt a sense of familiarity seemed to perk up.

So everyone had that feeling too.

Ye Yao blinked.

“It’s probably because Ye Ge and I look alike.”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Looking closely, it was true!

Ye Yao was practically a miniature, white-haired version of Ye Ge. When she grew up, she would undoubtedly possess that same breathtaking beauty as Ye Ge.

This was hardly a simple friendship.

It was more like they were blood-related family!

But Parallel Lou Wei frowned slightly.

He felt something off.

There was indeed an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

What’s going on?

Parallel Xiao Jing even felt an urge to pull Ye Yao into her arms, as if something like that had happened before.

But how could that be?

Ye Yao could also sense the emotional fluctuations in the group.

What did that mean?

Was her character modeling really that devastating?

Wait, could it be that the recently activated【Cause and Effect】is already kicking in?

Ye Yao silently gasped.

She suddenly realized something.

【Cause and Effect】might not only affect enemies or external targets. It could also affect allies.

Even time and space might not withstand the havoc wreaked by【Cause and Effect】.

Since Ye Yao had established familial relationships with everyone in the original timeline, under the influence of【Cause and Effect】, their parallel versions might gradually acquire memories that had never existed.

That was a bit intense.

Ye Yao’s heart pounded as she realized that she needed to figure out how to handle this.

“Um… I’m a bit tired after coming all this way. Is there somewhere I can rest?”

“Of course. I’ll have someone arrange a resting place for you. We can discuss everything another day.”

Under Parallel Fu Qi’s instructions, Ye Yao and her two companions were led to their resting area.

Although everyone still had questions they wanted to clarify, since she wanted to rest, they had to respect her needs.

Important matters couldn’t be rushed.

After the magical girl trio left, some people remained in the reception hall.

Parallel Fu Qi looked at the man beside him.

“Lou Wei, did you feel something subtle just now?”

“Yes. It was as if my soul was shaken the moment I saw that face.”

“So you felt it too. I thought I was just shocked by how much she resembles Ye Ge.”

He had to investigate this unusual reaction.

Just then, Parallel Xiao Jing’s voice reached everyone’s ears.

“Such an adorable child. I want to scoop her into my arms for hugs and kisses. This is the first time I’ve felt such a strong urge to dote on a child. I really want to keep her as a daughter~”

Everyone ignored this seemingly unhinged remark.

But Parallel Tu Sheng didn’t ignore it. She quietly whispered to her side.

“Ms. Xiao Jing, do you think that girl who called herself Lullaby is really cute?”

“Yes. I doubt any woman could resist getting close to her. If she called me ‘Mom’, I’d definitely be overjoyed.”

“Ms. Xiao Jing could try applying to be their guide at headquarters. If you ask, you might just get your wish granted.”

Parallel Tu Sheng’s tone was cheerful, as if she had confirmed something worth celebrating.

Parallel Xiao Jing hesitated.

She still had some sense of propriety.

“Wouldn’t that be rude? I’d probably be seen as a weirdo.”

“Not at all. I think Ms. Xiao Jing is the perfect person for it. If anyone objects, just say it was the Prophet’s suggestion.”

Parallel Tu Sheng’s lips curled slightly, as if anticipating something delightful.

With her encouragement, Parallel Xiao Jing steeled herself.

“Alright. I’ll give it a try.”

After Parallel Xiao Jing left, the two top figures of the Countermeasures Bureau approached her.

Both described their feelings and doubts, seeking answers from this woman whose mind held many mysteries.

“Ms. Tu Sheng, do you have any ideas?”

“Hmm… I’m sorry. I’m quite puzzled as well. Unfortunately, I can’t see, so I can’t help you.”

Parallel Tu Sheng’s voice was full of apology.

“No problem. We’ll figure it out ourselves. Maybe the answer will come soon.”

“Good luck.”

Parallel Tu Sheng offered words of encouragement, but in her mind, she was thinking about how to meet that little one alone.

If it was as she suspected,

The other party should come to her on her own.

It was just a matter of when.

On the other side.

Ye Yao and her companions were quickly settled into a luxurious, oversized guest room.

The older Luo Jianhua, still wearing her magical girl dress, sat on the bed with a complicated tone.

“I never thought I’d return to headquarters like this. And I felt like someone was vaguely observing me earlier. They must’ve discovered…”

At the thought, she couldn’t help covering her face.

She didn’t want to face it.

Fortunately, it wasn’t something everyone knew.

Then, she glanced at Ye Yao and noticed that the white-haired loli seemed to be sweating profusely.

“What’s wrong, Sister? You look a bit nervous.”

“N-N-Nothing. H-How could I be sweating? It’s rain. Y-Yeah. Rain fell on my face.”

“But I didn’t say you were sweating… And it doesn’t rain inside the guest room.”

The older Luo Jianhua found it even stranger.

Logically, that kind of situation shouldn’t make Ye Yao nervous.

Her invincible Sister had weathered countless storms.

She had even easily beaten Lou Wei to the ground.

Let alone a small scene like earlier.

Just then, Ye Yao finally voiced her concern.

“Little Luo, Little Mo, I might face social death.”

“What are you talking about, Sister? Shouldn’t the one facing social death be me?”

The older Luo Jianhua said gloomily.

“This is different! If I had no social identity here and no one knew me, I wouldn’t be nervous at all. But if they find out about the other world, I’m doomed!”

“If you don’t tell them, nothing will happen. We won’t betray you, Sister.”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

Facing Ye Yao’s outburst, Big Luo and Big Mo both promised to keep their mouths shut.

“This is different!”

Reaⅾ оո КаtRеаԁiոɡCаfe

Ye Yao couldn’t help but feel tense.

Who knew how efficient【Cause and Effect】would be?

Right now, Parallel Lou Wei and the others might only feel familiarity and a soul-stirring tremor, but they might gradually synchronize memories from the original world soon.

After all, their cause and effect was significant. The family connection aspect was probably unavoidable.

Ye Yao was considering an escape route.

Then, she suddenly thought of a solution.

Hey!

Got it!

Wasn’t she one hiss transformed into three cats?

In the original timeline, except for a few people, no one knew that Ye Yao, Ye Tong, and Ye Ge were the same person.

She could just shift the blame to Ye Tong and Ye Ge.

If anything chaotic happened in the parallel timeline, it was Ye Tong and Ye Ge’s doing. What did that have to do with her, Ye Yao?

She, Ye Yao, had always been slacking off in the original world.

She was practically the most innocent being in the universe.

From the very beginning, she had known nothing about the parallel world!

“I’m a genius. I truly am.”

Just as Ye Yao thought she had secured an escape route, the doorbell rang.

She sensed it briefly.

Mom is here!
