Esper X Family – Chapter 619 – Why Are Humans So Evil?

As the transmission protocol officially commenced, the twenty selected members were silently teleported to the surface of Bluestar, like a covert spatial teleportation.

Before this, they had already chosen their coordinates, all of them clustering around the city where Ye Yao resided.

For close observation, the closer the distance, the better.

To that end, they had even prepared flawless disguises and procured multiple identities to blend into the crowd.

If necessary, they could even replace existing individuals, much like parasitic organisms.

However, the replaced people wouldn’t face any mortal danger; they would merely be rendered unconscious for a period, or even transported to a starship for safekeeping.

Once everything was over, they would return healthy and whole, equipped with fabricated memories that wouldn’t affect their subsequent lives in the slightest.

One could say that such a principled civilization was a rarity in the universe.

But it was precisely this peculiar obstinacy that had prevented Ye Yao from striking out immediately.

The very force that could potentially bring about the downfall of her own civilization was right at her doorstep, yet this fleet, capable of annihilating countless civilizations, exercised such restraint.

Even their covert operations adhered to the principle of “non-interference”.

They were practically paragons of morality.

Of course, that was only relative.

During her covert surveillance, Ye Yao had already discovered that the detestable Watcher Civilization had violated her privacy.

They had secretly copied the data from her phone and other electronic devices!

How utterly heinous!

Fortunately, Ye Yao generally didn’t leave overly sensitive records on her electronic devices.

For instance, secrets like the trinity of Ye Yao, Ye Tong, and Ye Ge, or the existence of the System, or Xing Lan’s identity, were never stored there.

In short, aside from uncovering some of her embarrassing history and personal preferences, White Comet and her companions would only find a heap of memes and trash shared by her chat group friends to sift through!

Ye Yao wasn’t worried that they would fail to understand.

After all, most of them had absorbed the cultural essence of human civilization, including even the abstract internet culture.

There was no doubt they would appreciate it thoroughly.

In any case, while “stalking” them, Ye Yao found it hard to keep a straight face upon seeing the pained expressions on White Comet and her team.

They had only acquired a general understanding of human culture, including a vague notion of “abstract culture”.

But the elements filled with the darker side of humanity and all sorts of ugliness were indeed somewhat difficult for them to stomach.

After all, those records contained not only abstract culture but also inhumanity, antisocial acts, malicious pranks, jump-scare images, and various other disturbing content.

Throughout the process, even the usually straight-laced White Comet couldn’t help but remark:

“Why are humans so evil ¹ Not exactly a reference. It’s just that I feel like this gif is aplropriate here. If you know, you know. ?”

These people must’ve come from a very warm and pure environment.

One could say that Ye Yao’s retaliation was highly successful, giving the elite forces of the Watcher Civilization a rude awakening.

And it was served precisely to their taste.

That’s your lesson for disrespecting personal privacy!

Ye Yao leaned back tactically in her chair.

Although her gaze seemed to be fixed on a line of text in the newspaper, her true “sight” had already pierced through the building, firmly locked onto those mysterious silhouettes.

The twenty Observers had landed smoothly.

Their objective was clear: the Countermeasures Bureau’s headquarters.

Rеαd оո КаtRеαdіոɡСаfе

To get close to that “Ye Yao”, they had to infiltrate the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters and become part of her everyday environment.

While it might be exceedingly difficult for an ordinary person to blend in seamlessly, given the means of the Watcher Civilization, it didn’t require much effort.

They firmly believed in one thing:

They would absolutely not be discovered!

“They’re getting into character fast.”

Ye Yao muttered inwardly.

She “glanced” at the twenty unlucky souls dressed in perfectly ordinary civilian attire, casually marked them, and withdrew her gaze.

Since they had no intention of causing trouble, letting them roam freely for a while was no concern.

Even if there were ambitious individuals among them, they wouldn’t harm ordinary people.

Instead, they could serve as bait to draw out the rats hiding in the shadows, giving Gu Wenxin some entertainment with his blade.

“Finished reading.”

The white-haired girl gently folded the newspaper, producing a faint rustling sound.

Having completed the occasional parent-child interaction task that popped up from time to time, Ye Yao successfully claimed 5 attribute points and made a graceful exit.

It might be a paltry reward, but every bit counts!

Unfortunately, such small tasks appeared only intermittently. With luck, they might show up every day for a week, or with bad luck, only once a week.

Ye Yao scanned the room once more.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi were still engrossed in their work, completely oblivious to the civilization invasion that had just occurred.

Sigh. Both old man and old uncle fell off.

It felt like they were being phased out. They would’ve been better if Lou Weiwei or Fu Qiqi could be permanent characters. At least their “modeling” wouldn’t become obsolete.

Rеαԁ οո ΚаtReаdіոɡСαfe

Ye Yao slipped away silently, making no sound to disturb anyone.

Although her habit of “digging up old news” with a newspaper in such an important setting was somewhat irregular.

Given her status and position, such minor peculiarities were actually reassuring to those around her.

It was far better than when Ye Tong used Ye Yao’s identity to drag Lou Wei into becoming “Lou Weiwei” and going live on stream.

That was a real torment for Lou Wei.

Before they knew it, a week had passed.

The Observers’ actions remained cautious. They didn’t directly infiltrate the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, nor did they immediately replace anyone inside. Instead, they planned to enter through legitimate external procedures.

The scene shifted.

A petite girl with braided pigtails strode confidently into the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters. Like an arrogant prodigy, she exuded an aura that was thoroughly marinated in countless praises.

She, Silver Frost, was White Comet’s most trusted confidante, burdened with the mission of saving the Watcher Civilization, here to observe the legendary “Ye Yao”!

To infiltrate the Countermeasures Bureau that was teeming with experts, Silver Frost had swallowed her pride and crafted her identity as the sole hope of a remote village!

In other words, a village girl type loli.

Yet, even with the setting of someone from the deep mountains, Silver Frost’s “modeling” remained nothing short of haughty. In fact, she had even gone with her original appearance.

At least by the aesthetic standards of the Dragon Country, she was an absolute beauty, destined to grow into someone as stunning as Ye Tong or Ye Ge.

Recalling the past week, Silver Frost couldn’t help but heave an inner sigh.

To craft a flawless identity, she had even used the means of the Watcher Civilization to alter the collective consciousness of that small village, engraving the existence of “Silver Frost” into their memories.

Rеаⅾ оn ΚαtRеaԁіnɡCаfe

She had even acquired a pair of human parents.

As for the Dragon Country’s databases, the fleet above had already taken care of them, giving her clean records, without any trace of anomaly.

Silver Frost only needed to create a few social connections that were lacking in the gaps.

In her backstory, she was a gifted girl from a remote area, demonstrating the potential of an S-rank Esper at a young age.

The local branch of the Countermeasures Bureau couldn’t nurture such a prodigy, so she was sent to the headquarters for training.

And so, Silver Frost had naturally arrived at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters!

Once inside, things would be much easier.

It was said that “Ye Yao” wasn’t under heavy guard, but rather quite free, occasionally appearing in some corner of the headquarters.

Silver Frost didn’t need to ingratiate herself, nor did she truly need to approach the target. She could achieve her goal by simply observing from afar.

In short, this was a sociological research mission.

However, this genius girl from a “remote mountain village” had already caught Ye Yao’s attention.

“Hmm… alien lolis aren’t protected by law, are they?”
