Esper X Family – Chapter 628 – Scared Me to Death

Ye Yao was in no hurry.

This was only the first day. If she could take down the alien loli spy in just one day, Ye Yao would start to worry that she might secretly have some kind of succubus constitution.

She definitely didn’t want to wake up one morning and find herself at the mercy of some little ones who had just awakened to love.

Seeing her main body take Silver Frost, Sen Tong, and Yi Ling into the world within the painting, Ye Tong finally revealed an “all according to keikaku” smile.

“How fun.”

Now, it was time to see what those marked individuals were up to.

About three days had passed.

Ye Yao noticed that most of the remaining nineteen observers had infiltrated the Countermeasure Bureau headquarters.

Some had replaced existing people, using special methods to copy a person’s memories, then hiding the unconscious original, achieving near-perfect integration.

Others, like Silver Frost, had joined the headquarters as fresh hires from the outside.

They all seemed relatively well-behaved.

Their primary mission was observation.

After all, the intel obtained through【Myriad Analysis】was too objective; only through in-depth observation could they truly understand this civilization’s situation.

Since Ye Yao, Ye Tong, and Ye Ge had caused such a huge impact on human civilization, then by thoroughly analyzing the positive and negative effects of that impact, they could basically determine whether the other side showed signs of wanting to destroy the world.

After a period of observation and a collective vote back home, they could likely let their commander and deputy commander make the next decision.

Of course, this was under the assumption that all observers followed the rules.

In Ye Yao’s eyes, however, a few were secretly pulling small tricks, likely the ones on Gray Marsh’s side.

On the surface, they acted obediently and didn’t overstep, thus evading the surveillance of the fleet in space.

But in reality, some had already used special means to contact the restless old-era factions on Bluestar.

Ye Yao even saw that certain underground forums abroad had reverted to old-school fighting styles.

“Scared me to death! They even have a speech segment?”

A few restless observers had used technology from the Watcher civilization to interfere with those groups.

The forums plotting rebellion even had shielding tech far beyond Bluestar’s capabilities, so advanced that even S-rank Espers could hardly detect anything unusual.

What’s more, to strengthen this force, those observers used extraterrestrial technology to unlock human potential.

It had a certain vibe reminiscent of Yunited States’ mass-production of S-rank Espers with “Holy Blood” tech back in the day.

Except the methods used by the Watcher civilization observers were far safer and more efficient.

Now that was technological suppression!

Ye Yao watched their little maneuvers with some exasperation.

“Stirring up crowds to expand the ‘blasphemous faction’s’ influence? What a motley crew.”

The blasphemous faction referred to foreign factions that didn’t recognize the status and symbolism of “Tong Yao”.

Most of them were Espers from before the Great Awakening Era. Lacking the experience and sentiment of “rising from nothing”, they naturally weren’t as fervent as those who had received the blessings.

In these groups’ eyes, “Tong Yao’s” actions had shattered their sense of superiority and specialness, but even so, they dared not speak out, only fuming in silence.

But they had never been able to amount to much before.

After all, with the “Bluestar One-Party Rule”, under Dragon Country’s pressure, other countries had to deal with these troublesome factions.

Even outside Dragon Country, they were hunted down like rats crossing the street, scorned by all.

If Ye Yao didn’t understand that “with so many humans, idiots will inevitably spawn from time to time”, she would’ve long since turned into the “Great Western King ¹ Chinese historical figure who committed lots of massacres. ” and purged these bastards thoroughly.

It was just a bit troublesome.

And trouble was what Ye Yao despised most. It interfered with her slacking off.

But now, with the observers’ meddling, this rabble was starting to feel somewhat organized.

They were even gaining some influence online.

Previously, there had been no talking points, but now, some signs were emerging.

Ye Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa, fingers gliding across a virtual light screen, browsing real-time discussions on online forums.

Netizens had already noticed the commotion abroad. Even though major foreign conflicts had long ceased, people still kept an eye on overseas developments.

“What blasphemous faction? How dare they stir up trouble against our world’s best streamer! Why are they so evil? Someone fetch my sword, I’ll go chop them to death!” (ID: Empty Cult Leader)

“Wishing the old era remnants get sons without buttholes, wishing the blasphemous faction infertility, wishing those evildoers have family photos with just themselves alone…” (ID: True Holy Grail)

“Deserve a massacre. Wait for me, everyone! I’ll go handle this! I’ll make them fly!” (ID: Big-Tailed Fox)

Ye Yao couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. These netizens’ “blessings” were certainly… unique.

“So they’re trying to sow discord through internal human conflicts?

What’s the point of stirring up opposition against me? I don’t care. They’d be better off if they tried to shut down every game studio in the world.”

Of course, even that might not break her.

After all, there was the parallel dimension.

Even if the original timeline had no new games, the parallel one did, and Ye Yao could still play there.

And in the parallel dimension, no one caused trouble.

“Hmph, let’s see what you’re really playing at.”

Ye Yao decided to play dumb and trick them.

Meanwhile, in the Countermeasure Bureau’s high-level meeting room.

Lou Wei stood before a holographic projection showing a global heat map of “blasphemous faction” activity.

The scattered red dots from a week ago had now formed clusters, especially in several foreign cities, creating obvious gathering zones.

“A week ago, these groups’ online presence was less than one percent of what it is now.”

Lou Wei’s voice was calm but grave.

“Their organizational ability, propaganda methods, and even financial flow have all seen abnormal growth. This is clearly suspicious.”

Fu Qi sat at the conference table, fingers tapping rapidly on the control panel, pulling up a new set of data.

“Even more suspicious is that according to data from other countries’ organizations, these groups have produced several troublesome ‘pillars’, reportedly at S-rank level.

With military might capable of matching national forces, these people have grown considerably more brazen, expanding their influence like madmen.

Logically, a sensible strong person would never take that stance. Opposing Ye Yao is like fighting against the tide of the era, no different from defying the laws of nature.”

At these words, a rough answer already formed in everyone’s minds.

“There may be a hidden force driving this from the shadows.”

Someone frowned and spoke up.

“Could another country be secretly backing them?

Even though a global consensus was reached after the Great Awakening Era, some nations might resent losing their former status…”

Fu Qi shook his head: “Unlikely. The most probable suspect, Yunited States, has already been cleansed once. No other country has that capability.”

But a thought suddenly struck him. Could there be another organization like the “Sanctuary” pulling the strings in the shadows?

The next moment.

Lou Wei’s voice cut through his contemplation.

“Regardless, an on-site investigation will tell us what’s really going on. I can deploy.”

Fu Qi’s mouth twitched: “That’s overkill.”

Talk about a doting father.

“Leave it to Sequence Zero to investigate. Mu Luo and the others should already be moving.”

Putting everything else aside, those four weakling brothers led by the mysterious wriggly man were pretty efficient.

They didn’t even need a notification from the Countermeasure Bureau. They were already showing a proactive attitude toward this matter.

After all, wasn’t “Ye Yao” also their leader?

Author Note

It’s still more comfortable with the aircon outside. When it’s hot during the day, I go to stores to enjoy the air conditioning and write some text. When it gets a bit cooler at night, I use a fan. It saves electricity and brings me joy. Oh, how clever I am!
