Esper X Family – Chapter 56 – Rescue Mode Activated

Tang Zhuo was running while clutching his phone.

His panicked expression suggested that he was trying to contact someone.

His perception within the mist was exceptionally strong.

Even an Esper of a higher rank couldn’t catch him here.

But Tang Zhuo could clearly sense that someone was chasing him.

As if they had successfully locked onto him!

Finally, the call connected.

Tang Zhuo was overjoyed.

“Quick! Send someone to rescue me! I’ve made up my mind—I’ll join you. But someone’s after me right now. Send help first!”

“Who’s chasing you? The Countermeasures Bureau?”

A muffled voice came from the other end of the line.

Tang Zhuo quickly replied, “I don’t know. I’m not sure who they are, but they’re definitely not the Countermeasures Bureau. It might be Espers from another faction!”

“That’s interesting.”

“Interesting!? I’m about to die here!” Tang Zhuo was so frantic he almost cursed.

What kind of idiot finds the situation amusing at a time like this?

Is my life not a life?

Fortunately, the other party quickly asked for his location.

“Where are you?”

“I’m at—”

Before Tang Zhuo could finish, a ghostly figure rushed up behind him.

The figure’s blade flashed!

The strike was swift and merciless.

Not a single word was exchanged.

Slash!!!

The blade cut through flesh as if slicing through melons, with no resistance at all.

A B-rank Esper was like an ant before an A-rank Esper.

There was no chance of resistance.

“…Execution successful.”

Sequence 096, who was still in a running posture, stumbled forward for a distance before collapsing and sliding several meters, unable to utter another word.

The phone fell at Gu Wenxin’s feet.

He picked it up and noticed that the screen was still lit.

“Who are you? Care to introduce yourself?”

The person on the other end didn’t seem shocked or regretful about Sequence 096’s death.

Instead, they calmly asked Gu Wenxin for his name.

Gu Wenxin didn’t make a sound. He tossed the phone into the air and sliced it into pieces.

The mist dissipated.

And the night lights restored everyone’s vision.

The ambulances that had arrived could finally begin rescue operations.

But this also exposed his location.

Countermeasures Bureau Espers were closing in.

Mu Luo had only diverted the main force, while another team had been dispatched to deal with Sequence 096.

But Sequence 096 was already dead.

Meanwhile, the most conspicuous figure here was Gu Wenxin, who was holding a long blade with a sharp aura.

“It’s indeed Sequence 011! Prepare to capture him!”

Three Espers surrounded Gu Wenxin from three directions.

The dispatched Espers had already memorized all the information about uncontained high-risk Sequence Espers.

They could react instantly upon seeing Gu Wenxin.

Gu Wenxin stood still, scanning the three Espers around him.

All three Espers had A-rank mental power.

Two around one thousand, and one slightly above two thousand.

With his own mental power nearing three thousand and his excellent attribute panel, Gu Wenxin could hold his ground against them.

But the tricky part was that Countermeasures Bureau reinforcements were on the way.

“Surrender, Gu Wenxin. Considering that you were taken away by Sequence 012 rather than escaping on your own, we can give you a chance.”

“I won’t go back.”

Gu Wenxin drew his long blade and calmly faced the three Espers.

Their expressions turned grave.

Early assessments of Sequence Espers were conducted using the Prophet’s ability.

Gu Wenxin’s capabilities had long been exposed by the Prophet.

Sequence 011.

Infinitely close to the top ten.

His danger was undeniable.

Slaying Evil, slaying evil… what exactly is evil?

Perhaps only Gu Wenxin himself could define it.

Once he fell into darkness and deceived his own heart, everything in the world could be considered evil.

Then, what awaited everyone was a high-risk Esper capable of dealing multiple times the damage to anything.

Three thousand mental power could be treated as six thousand or more against evil.

The reason he wasn’t ranked in the top ten was simply because he couldn’t cause massive destruction.

His abilities were solely targeted at people.

Even so, the Countermeasures Bureau had to capture and contain him before he went astray.

The three Espers exchanged glances and charged at Gu Wenxin together.

The battle erupted.

Meanwhile.

Ye Yao and the other three had arrived nearby but remained hidden.

“Why are they fighting?”

Ye Yao was surprised to see Gu Wenxin engaged in combat with the three Espers.

But Xia Lian didn’t find it strange.

“Isn’t that normal? The Countermeasures Bureau won’t ignore a high-risk Sequence Esper on the run. If I showed up, I’d be targeted by experts too.”

Ye Yao looked at Gu Wenxin, who was in a tight spot, and couldn’t help but worry.

Rеаԁ οո КαtRеаdіnɡСαfe

Will this guy really fail here?

After all, the Countermeasures Bureau Espers weren’t evil.

Gu Wenxin’s ability wouldn’t be super effective against them.

With just a slight numerical advantage, it would be hard for him to escape quickly.

Moreover, the Countermeasures Bureau Espers’ experience and coordination were top-notch. They might actually capture Gu Wenxin in the end!

“Shouldn’t Xia Lian go help him?”

Xia Lian was surprised. “Are you sure you want me to help? If the Countermeasures Bureau discovers my trail, they might send an S-rank Esper.”

Ye Yao finally remembered that this seemingly delicate girl beside her was Sequence 009.

A single-digit high-risk Sequence Esper.

If the Countermeasures Bureau discovered her trace, they would undoubtedly dispatch an S-rank Esper to capture her.

And how fast could an S-rank Esper arrive?

Ye Yao thought of her stern father.

Using him as a benchmark, they might arrive in just a few breaths.

“Then, should I go?” Ye Yao pointed at herself tentatively.

Xia Lian decisively vetoed, shaking her head repeatedly.

“No, no, no! If you intervene, it means you’re about to go back. I want you to stay a bit longer!”

Ye Yao turned to Wu Mi beside her.

“Huh? Me? Should I go?”

Wu Mi hesitantly pointed at herself, looking utterly unconfident.

You, a loli with double-digit stats, should just stay as the mascot.

Ye Yao looked up.

Jiang Huashen had somehow climbed to a high spot, gazing into the distance.

Gazing at the chaotic streets and the wailing lanes…

The young man couldn’t help but sigh.

“Human suffering. When Espers clash, it’s often the ordinary people who suffer more. How can such a scene not sadden the heart?”

【Jiang Huashen has gained inspiration. Reward: 5 attribute points.】

Wow, I’m on a roll!

Ye Yao counted. Including the head Gu Wenxin had just taken, she had gained 10 attribute points tonight.

Sequence 096 provided 3, and the four small fries provided 2.

The family activity wasn’t over yet.

Otherwise, there would’ve been more rewards.

Ye Yao turned her attention back to the battlefield.

She could only hope that Mu Luo would return quickly to support Gu Wenxin, so that they could retreat together.

Of course.

That was on the assumption that Gu Wenxin could hold out until then.

But it seemed like he couldn’t.

Upon learning of a big fish appearing, the Countermeasures Bureau had mobilized their entire force.

They had expected only Sequence 096.

Who could’ve guessed that Sequence 011 would show up?

Gu Wenxin, who was locked in a stalemate with the three Espers, suddenly felt immense pressure.

It was as if a hundred-ton weight had been dropped on him.

Boom!

The ground instantly caved in.

Cracks spread densely beneath Gu Wenxin’s feet.

He couldn’t hold on any longer and dropped to one knee. His skin was torn, and large amounts of blood seeped out!

A figure floated in the air, seemingly able to manipulate gravity at will.

“S-rank…”

Gu Wenxin gritted his teeth as he uttered the two words. He was filled with nothing but helplessness.

It seemed like he wouldn’t be able to make it back.

Ye Yao stared blankly at the scene.

【A family member is in fatal danger. Rescue mode activated.】
