Esper X Family – Chapter 83 – An Elite Mob?

Ye Yao immediately covered her mouth after speaking.

Damn it!

She had been spending too much time online and had been thoroughly marinated in memes.

She hoped that Mu Luo wouldn’t feel even more guilty.

Mu Luo was feeling a bit of a headache.

He really hadn’t expected Ye Yao to stay overnight and remain peacefully until noon.

Every time he returned, he would bring a fixed portion of lunch.

If there was a portion for himself, he could give it to Ye Yao.

But the problem was, he had already eaten outside.

Mu Luo put down the lunch.

“I’ll go buy another portion, wait for me.”

But Xia Lian quickly stopped him.

“No need to go through the trouble, Mu Luo. I can share some of my portion with White Catty.”

Wu Mi hurriedly nodded beside her.

“M-Me too, one portion is too much for me, I can share some with Ye Yao.”

“Yep, yep.”

Ye Yao didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted readily.

Judging by the portions Mu Luo brought, they were probably the standard size.

Girls tend to eat less, so it was normal that they were unable to finish them.

Three people sharing two portions would be just right.

Ye Yao looked at Mu Luo.

“Instead of wasting your time going out again, why don’t you tell us about last night’s discoveries?”

“Alright.”

Mu Luo could only nod in agreement.

His expression turned serious.

“I found Sequence 100. He’s hiding in a small town.”

Ye Yao’s eyes lit up.

Delicious attribute points!

Ye Yao suddenly felt like transforming into the Great King of the West ¹ What Zhang Xianzhong calls himself. He’s a historical figure known for a bunch of massacres and was memed because of this stupid-looking statue. Despite the memes, he’s a total psycho. Here’s what I found on wikipedia: In one incident, he is said to have organized an imperial examination ostensibly to recruit scholars for his administration, only to have all the candidates, who numbered many thousands, killed. In another, to give thanks for his recovery after an illness, he was said to have cut off the feet of many women. The severed feet were heaped in two piles with those of his favorite concubine, whose feet were unusually small, placed on top. These two piles of feet were then doused in oil and set alight to become what he called “heavenly candles”. to compete with Gu Wenxin for the kill.

With Wu Mi being such a powerful support, it would be a waste of her hard work if she didn’t put in some effort.

After all, if it’s not strenuous, it doesn’t count as effort.

Crushing a small fry is just like slacking off.

Ye Yao asked, “You didn’t accidentally kill him, did you?”

If Mu Luo had indeed accidentally killed him, Ye Yao wouldn’t be angry.

After all, the sooner such bad people die, the safer ordinary people will be.

Ye Yao didn’t want to see the other party make a desperate counterattack and drag a bunch of innocent people down with them.

Mu Luo shook his head. “There’s another Esper by his side, and that person’s mental power fluctuations are strong. Taking action would alert them.”

Ye Yao quickly became interested.

If Mu Luo was this cautious, it meant that the Esper near Sequence 100 wasn’t simple.

Probably an elite mob!

Ye Yao immediately sensed that this wasn’t simple and narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Hmm~ What do you think? Could it be the other high-risk Sequence Esper organization?

Did Sequence 100 seek their protection because he felt he was about to die?”

Xia Lian’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Very likely. We might be able to catch a big fish this way.”

Ye Yao glanced at Mu Luo, signaling him to continue and see if there was any useful information.

Mu Luo shook his head, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes.

“I only saw Sequence 100 enter a factory. The powerful Esper is inside. They might detect me if I tried to gather information, so I didn’t act rashly.”

Mu Luo’s intelligence-gathering ability has its limits.

As the saying goes, powerful Espers usually have extremely sharp senses.

Even if Mu Luo hid his presence in the darkness to collect sounds and images, there was still a high chance of the other party detecting him.

It would be impossible to hide the subtle, intangible fluctuations of deliberate actions.

If they encountered a special Esper, that Esper could trace the ability back to the user.

Moreover, many abilities can block or cut off information gathering.

Otherwise, Mu Luo would have already been collecting intelligence freely from Ye Yao’s residential complex.

“I see.”

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Mu Luo’s judgment was correct.

Acting rashly would indeed alert the enemy.

Once they discovered that their hiding place had been exposed, they might move again.

It would take even more time to find them then.

“Then let’s act tonight. We can’t let them escape.”

Ye Yao rubbed her hands together, like a hunting cat waiting to pounce.

At the same time.

On the other side, Ye Yao was bidding farewell to Cheng Muxue and Fang Ze.

The two S-rank Espers are finally leaving.

Thank goodness.

Cheng Muxue walked up to Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua, crouched down, and hugged them both.

“Ye Yao, Little Luo, Auntie is going home now. Remember to call if you miss me. I’ll come visit again when I have time.”

Cheng Muxue’s face was filled with reluctance.

She had just managed to build a good relationship with Ye Yao, and now she had to leave.

If only she could stay here forever…

But Cheng Muxue had responsibilities she couldn’t abandon.

She had to return to her original post to prevent being targeted by criminals and causing irreparable damage.

As for Ye Yao, having Lou Wei was enough.

“Goodbye, Auntie, Uncle. Be careful on your way back.”

Ye Yao obediently bid them farewell, although she was overjoyed in her heart.

The two mechanism monsters were finally leaving.

Although she only managed to squeeze some gold coins from her Aunt, and she didn’t have any chance to squeeze some from her Uncle…

It didn’t matter.

She could get them later.

As long as the family group chat was still there, she wouldn’t let them off the hook.

Most importantly, the invisible pressure had lessened significantly.

Fang Ze nodded. “I’ll be back next month. We’ll see each other again.”

In simple terms, he would be coming to recharge the Law Space.

It seemed that Fang Ze would be coming frequently.

Squeezing his gold coins shouldn’t be difficult.

Cheng Muxue and Fang Ze left the house.

Lou Wei followed them, saying, “I’ll see them off.”

The three walked into the hallway, their pace not particularly fast.

“Headquarters has extracted quite a bit of information from the person who was targeting Mo Qiuli. What do you think about the ‘Sanctuary’ he mentioned?”

As soon as Lou Wei spoke, Cheng Muxue and Fang Ze’s expressions turned serious.

“From his account, the danger level of this ‘Sanctuary’ might be even higher than ‘Sequence 0’.”

The three had already discussed this in depth early in the morning.

This was more like a casual chat.

Fang Ze recalled the information sent back by headquarters and nodded thoughtfully.

“From what he confessed, Sanctuary is behind most supernatural disasters.

They incite Espers with criminal tendencies to cause widespread destruction, using Sequence numbers as a ticket to join the organization.

This behavior is extremely vile and has severely impacted national stability.”

Of course, it still paled in comparison to destroying the world.

But destroying the world was too abstract, something beyond anyone’s control.

The so-called “Sanctuary” was different.

If they couldn’t deal with Ye Yao, could they not deal with a terrorist organization?

Cheng Muxue sighed lightly.

“It’s a pity he wasn’t a core member of the ‘Sanctuary’, so he didn’t know much. Otherwise, we might be able to find their hideout and wipe them out in one go.”

She had participated in the interrogation later.

Unfortunately, she didn’t get any more substantial information.

He was just a peripheral member, and their contact methods were untraceable.

“What we know now is that the organization seems to want to recruit or hunt down the black mist Esper.

But the black mist Esper is with ‘Sequence 0’, so they’re not the same group.

Given the actions of ‘Sequence 0’, they’ll inevitably clash.”

Fang Ze frowned tightly.

His hope was that both sides would end up destroying each other.

It would be troublesome if they teamed up.

This possibility of that wasn’t zero.

The human heart is hard to predict.

Lou Wei fell into deep thought.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t leave this place.

Otherwise, he could devote his energy into investigating this organization.

After all, any terrorist organization could become a catalyst for world destruction.

Author Note

I’ve confused ‘uncle ² 叔叔, the term for father’s younger brother ‘ and ‘uncle ³ 伯父, the term for father’s elder brother ‘, which I only realized after a reader pointed it out yesterday.

Father’s older brother should be called 伯父 (uncle).
