Esper X Family – Chapter 94 – Perfect Division of Labor

The Countermeasures Bureau of this city was indeed quite far from the residential area.

It would normally take a considerable amount of time to get there.

Fortunately, Mercury wasn’t planning to use the normal method to get there.

Instead, she found a place where no one could see and transformed into a magical girl.

Then, she took Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua with her, taking off from the spot while using “magic” to disguise the anomaly.

Flying there would be much faster.

It was yet another blood-boiling maneuver.

If they accidentally fell, a sudden gust of wind would probably come to the rescue.

Ye Yao looked down at the cityscape below.

She had indeed never flown during the day.

Most of her flights were at night.

Comparing the aerial views of the two time periods felt quite refreshing.

Ye Yao began to think about what to do after arriving at the Countermeasures Bureau.

The Bureau must have already made all the necessary arrangements.

Following their guidance would surely be a simple matter.

It would just be a formality before heading back.

But Ye Yao didn’t want it to be that simple.

It was a rare opportunity to have direct contact with the Countermeasures Bureau, and just going there and returning would be a waste.

Ye Yao had many ideas.

She wanted to see if she could get information on other high-risk Sequence Espers.

Or perhaps try to find new “family members”.

And then there was that detestable Prophet.

Who had slandered her, saying that she would destroy the world.

Although this chain of reactions had brought her such a comfortable life.

That was a separate matter!

If she could meet them, she would definitely seize the opportunity to question them thoroughly.

Just knowing who they were would be enough.

She could let the super mysterious Sequence 008 handle the task.

Her main body would focus on being cute and slacking off.

The fission body would handle the dirty work and hissing.

Perfect division of labor!

A while later.

Mercury found a blind spot and slowly descended.

Ye Yao finally felt solid ground beneath her feet again.

It had to be said that Mercury’s flying skills were quite good.

It seemed like there was something akin to a “AT Field ¹ Absolute Terror Field, Evangelion reference. Basically invisible barriers around Angels and Evangelions. Normal weapons can’t get through them. Fun fact, it’s translated as Bio Forcefield in China. ”.

They weren’t overly affected by gravity during the flight.

It had to be said that Mo Qiuli’s Esper ability was truly miraculous.

In another setting, it could easily be called magic.

Its plasticity was just too strong.

Ye Yao even suspected that later on, she could summon anything with a wave of her magic wand.

She would show those other Esper bumpkins what real magic looks like.

Mercury transformed back into Mo Qiuli, her face filled with tension.

“I’ll take you there now, don’t be nervous…”

The one who was nervous was comforting those who were perfectly calm.

Luo Jianhua scratched her cheek with her index finger.

“Did you forget, Little Mo? I’m also from the Countermeasures Bureau. The one who should really be concerned is Sister.”

Ye Yao looked completely indifferent.

“I’m not nervous either.”

Although on the surface, she was the only outsider.

But if anyone said that Ye Yao had no connection to the Countermeasures Bureau.

Those old geezers at the Bureau would be the first to object.

The three arrived at the entrance of a restricted area.

There were several guards standing at the gate. The setup resembled a military zone, giving off a sense of strict security.

Rеаd оո ΚatRеаdіոɡСαfe

Clearly, the guards were all Espers.

And likely quite powerful.

They gave off the vibe of hidden masters.

At that moment, someone approached them from the entrance.

“Mo Qiuli, are these the two girls who got involved the other day?”

The person who came forward was a mature-looking woman with soft facial features and a gentle gaze.

Even though it was clear that she wasn’t an ordinary person, she didn’t exude any pressure.

The Countermeasures Bureau had clearly put thought into their personnel selection.

Scaring young girls was definitely not the goal.

They couldn’t have someone with an overpowering presence guiding them.

It was better to have someone more approachable.

“You can call me Ms. Yang. I’ll be responsible for receiving you today.”

Ms. Yang briefly observed the three girls, then bent down to meet Ye Yao at eye level.

“Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua are both recorded within the Countermeasures Bureau’s files. Only you, little white-haired one, aren’t.”

“What do I need to do? Will you dissect me?”

Ye Yao blinked, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

“You’re quite the joker. New Espers just need to undergo some simple tests to be recorded in the database. You won’t be harmed.”

“Oh.”

Ye Yao understood.

This interaction was likely just to establish her initial impression of the National Countermeasures Bureau.

They probably wouldn’t do much.

And they certainly wouldn’t let her delve into deeper matters.

“Follow me.”

Ms. Yang led the three into the interior of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Inside, several grand buildings stood, resembling office buildings or science museums. Even without entering, one could sense the powerful technological atmosphere.

Ye Yao looked around curiously, even spotting Espers training their abilities in an open area.

“Are these people all like me?”

“That’s right. They’re all like you, chosen ones with extraordinary powers. What you’re seeing is just a small part of them.”

Ms. Yang continued to guide them while introducing the history of the Countermeasures Bureau.

She created an atmosphere of formality and justice.

Reаⅾ οո КαtReadіոɡСafе

The first impression had to be perfect.

They couldn’t leave Ye Yao with any negative impressions.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know.

That in a distant town the day before, Ye Yao had already expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Countermeasures Bureau’s Espers.

If they had known.

Those Espers who participated in the operation would probably be subjected to intense training for stepping through the door with their left foot first.

“Let’s start with the tests.”

Ms. Yang led the three into a building that resembled a science museum.

The interior indeed had a very sci-fi feel.

Ye Yao cooperated throughout, but she didn’t find any opportunities to stir up trouble.

They saw very few Espers along the way.

It was unclear if this had been arranged in advance.

The mental power test results came out quickly.

“Mental power: 75. Normal data. Do you know how to use your Esper ability?”

“No.”

“What do you like to do?”

“Slack off.”

“If you gained immense power, what would you do first?”

“Use super reflexes to climb to the top of the gaming world and become a gaming legend.”

Ye Yao didn’t even bother pretending to be introverted.

Someone would surely come up with a reason for her.

Ms. Yang nodded lightly and recorded it in the file.

“Esper ability stable, personality stable, aspirations normal… Everything is normal.”

“Is it over?”

Ye Yao hadn’t expected it to be so simple.

She thought that there would be blood draws and various physical examinations.

It was a rare opportunity.

Maybe she could even recreate the movie trope where a villain created her clone.

Like using her DNA to create a clone and see if it still had the power to destroy the world.

Rеαⅾ oո КаtReαԁіոɡСаfе

Sigh.

The nation is just too cautious.

Ms. Yang shook her head: “It’s not over. Next, let’s talk about what happened the other night. You actually encountered a Class A Esper… If there hadn’t been timely support, you might have been in mortal danger.”

Mo Qiuli immediately looked like a teary-eyed cat ² .

“Th-Then, does that mean I can’t do magical girl activities anymore?”

“If you’re referring to that strange patrol activity of yours, it’s naturally unaffected.

But you must learn to report anomalies promptly instead of rushing in alone to solve the problem.

This time, you fell into the enemy’s trap because you didn’t observe the situation carefully after spotting the anomaly.

If you make the same mistake again, the Countermeasures Bureau might prohibit that activity of yours.”

“I promise it won’t happen again!”

Mo Qiuli answered nervously.

Meanwhile, Ye Yao was lost in thought.

This might be a good time to let the fission body visit and stir up some fun.

Wait, no.

It should be a warm-up for Wu Mi.

After all, the duration of the fission body at Wu Mi’s side was almost up.

Even though it could cycle indefinitely, the duration would shorten every time the cycle was broken, reducing the margin for error.

It was time to come back and recharge.

Ye Yao notified Mu Luo and the others before deactivating the fission body.

Then, she generated a new fission body several kilometers away.

But at that very moment.

The fission body Ye Yao suddenly felt an intense gaze.

Dayun Truck! It’s here!
