Esper X Family – Chapter 566 – Already Numb

Neither of them dared to go to the dormitory and confirm things with the white-haired girl.

They didn’t want to face it, afraid of hearing an answer that shouldn’t exist.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi could only hope that the girl on screen was “Ye Tong” who was simply having fun, not “Ye Yao” who had gone on a trip.

After all, if she had finally gone to a parallel world where no one knew her, it made perfect sense for Ye Tong to act a little childlike, right?

If the target was Ye Tong, they wouldn’t have much psychological pressure.

But what if it was Ye Yao…

The next moment.

The scene shifted.

A man appeared in the skies over the island nation, facing off against the Magical Girl Alliance.

In the original world, Lou Wei covered one eye with his hand, his gesture radiating helplessness.

Although it was no surprise that a fight had broken out, at least “Lullaby” had instantly knocked him out with a magic wand strike, preventing any major mistake.

Good hit!

That’s exactly the right move!

No need to hold back!

Just as Lou Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Fu Qi quickly spotted a blind spot.

“Didn’t they say Ye Tong’s power was absorbed by Ye Ge? How is she still so strong?”

“Maybe Ye Ge allowed it. Since Ye Tong was brought to that world by her, they must have redistributed the power permissions.”

Lou Wei could only guess that much.

“But what’s the benefit of doing that?”

“No idea.”

The scene shifted again.

It was a quick scene of Parallel Fu Qi receiving the older Mo Qiuli.

Then, the three magical girls finally arrived at the capital for their first negotiation with the Countermeasures Bureau.

Rеαⅾ оո КαtRеadіոgСafе

That meeting had no conflict and seemed very amicable.

Fu Qi’s anxious heart finally settled down.

No conflict is a good thing!

As long as Ye Tong didn’t stir up trouble or play games with the information gap, everything could develop normally!

If she just explained things clearly, it would definitely lead to a good ending!

Whatever she did, it was fine as long as she didn’t make his counterpart on screen look even more foolish.

Even if it was another version of himself from a different timeline, it still represented a possibility he couldn’t completely sever himself from.

Making the wrong choice there would be far more serious than embarrassing himself in a magical girl movie.

The odd looks from Xiao Jing, Chen Wan Ting, and the others were still bearable.

Who knew if after synchronizing the memories, Ye Yao would end up with serious misunderstandings about him?

But the outcome was hardly surprising.

The girl on screen didn’t seem to have made things clear.

The Countermeasures Bureau in that other timeline was still struggling through the “swamp” of information gap.

Even if there was no Ye Yao, the Tu Sheng in that timeline was still stuck with a shattered ability.

It was even worse, completely unreliable.

Fortunately, they ended up sending Xiao Jing to make contact and act as a guide.

Even for Ye Tong, as long as Xiao Jing was involved, she would probably behave much more.

Everything was steadily improving.

Fu Qi wore a relieved expression.

“Lou Wei, with the two of us using our wisdom, we should be able to stabilize the situation. There shouldn’t be any more conflict now.”

“I hope so…”

Lou Wei wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.

He felt a nagging sense of unease.

As if a reversal was coming.

Rеаԁ oո КαtRеаⅾіngCаfe

And reversals like that were not good news!

Admittedly, his growth rate had been unimaginably fast thanks to the various incidents caused by Ye Yao.

Even his emotional intelligence, which was comparable to a fully grown banana, had made huge strides.

But had his counterpart on screen really grown like that?

Three years had passed, but probably only his strength had improved a little.

He knew his own flaws well. Without Ye Yao, it was easy for him to end up in a dead end.

Lou Wei even silently prayed that no major problems would arise.

Soon.

The screen showed a brief moment when Parallel Lou Wei fell into a short sleep.

Although Ye Yao hadn’t witnessed it with her own eyes, she could still use some imagination to recreate and share the scene.

The gist was that Parallel Lou Wei closed his eyes, fell asleep for a short while, then jolted awake.

As if he had experience a nightmare.

This scene brought a flicker of unease to Fu Qi’s face as well.

“You… what did you dream about?”

“Why are you looking at me? That’s not really me…”

Lou Wei’s tone was very flat, but his body was already tense, his mood extremely nervous.

Then, the scene showed Parallel Lou Wei seeking out Parallel Fu Qi and recounting the contents of his dream.

The scene was recreated by Ye Yao based on Parallel Fu Qi’s narration.

Parallel Lou Wei described something that made even Fu Qi’s pupils contract:

Ye Ge had destroyed a city, killed Fu Qi, and Bluestar was shrouded in disasters triggered by Ye Ge, like an apocalyptic scene.

After that, Parallel Lou Wei saw himself being violently attacked by Ye Ge, proving that Ye Ge was the source of all disasters.

“Holy crap!”

Fu Qi immediately sprang to his feet, feeling his hairs stand on end.

Rеaԁ оո KαtRеаԁіոgСαfе

“Lou Wei, this misunderstanding is huge! That version of you actually dreamed about the events of our timeline, and a fragmented version at that. How did you make Ye Ge take the blame!?”

“I…”

Lou Wei was sweating profusely.

How could he avoid this?

If the misunderstanding couldn’t be resolved, he couldn’t even think of a way out.

“Gulp—”

Fu Qi kept swallowing nervously, watching this scene with incredible tension.

It was even more thrilling than when he had risked his life activating “Void Form” to clash with the interstellar overlord!

A strong sense of self-preservation kept hinting that he should stay far away from Lou Wei.

Otherwise, he might get caught in the crossfire when things blew up.

Then, the scene showed Parallel Fu Qi also trying to dream. He woke up startled and similarly described some fragmented content.

Again, putting a huge black pot of blame on Ye Ge.

Fu Qi: “…”

Sweating like rain!

Seeing this, Fu Qi sat back down and fell into deep thought alongside Lou Wei.

Well, no need to run now.

Still brothers in misery.

“Lou Wei, I suspect we’re being set up by heavenly will. Who’s trying to frame us?”

I’m already numb!

Fu Qi felt his brain tremble.

The scene showed Parallel Lou Wei seemingly preparing for the worst, aiming to temporarily comprehend enlightenment and develop a brand-new form skill.

Even without Ye Yao’s situation, he had already fixed his gaze on that blazing, burning star.

Seeing this, Lou Wei knew that the Solar Corona Form in the parallel timeline was about to emerge.

Would a world line convergence happen so that it could be used against Ye Yao?

Rеаd οո KatRеαⅾіnɡCаfе

Fortunately, Parallel Fu Qi quickly found the white-haired girl who called herself “Lullaby” and didn’t hide any of that fragmented intelligence.

Both of them exhaled at the same time.

“Fu Qi, you came through.”

“Thank goodness for my innate wisdom. This move at least minimized the chance of us getting caught up in it.”

Luckily, Parallel Fu Qi hadn’t concealed anything and had at least made a move akin to a “disclaimer”.

If Ye Tong learned about this, she should quickly figure everything out.

Whether it was to use the information gap to toy with the Countermeasures Bureau or just play pranks, it was fine as long as she didn’t feel wronged.

Since things had developed this far, the situation couldn’t keep getting worse.

Just as they were thinking that, the scene before them suddenly shifted to outer space.

Parallel Lou Wei, who was facing the sun, had established a cooperative relationship with some mysterious entity that had broken through the void.

From this moment on.

The Vengeful Spirit and the strongest Esper of the current era would launch a war of “revenge” and “saving the world” against Ye Ge!

The next instant.

A spatial fluctuation appeared.

The original world’s Fu Qi decisively fled from Lou Wei’s side!
