Chapter 109 00109
109 Chapter - Is That Right?
"It's true! I actually didn't fall again!"
Sugar Cube exclaimed, her grip on Ye Yao's small hand tightening slightly.
"Ghost, are you some kind of lucky charm?"
"Human, no."
Ye Yao led Sugar Cube to the highest point nearby.
She suddenly regretted interacting with Sugar Cube.
After this period of interaction and communication,
she realized that Sugar Cube didn't seem to offer any substantial help.
At most, she could only learn some information about the Circular World through comparison.
Now, if Sugar Cube left her side, the power of the cycle would pull her back into the unlucky cycle.
They couldn't split up.
Having her along seemed to mostly serve to make her less lonely.
Ye Yao reached the rooftop and gazed at the city's skyline.
It stretched endlessly, as if without end.
The area of this Circular World was unexpectedly vast.
Perhaps not as expansive as in reality.
Only by reaching the end would she have a chance to know its true scope.
"How long will this take to find?"
Ye Yao was completely exasperated.
Just then, Sugar Cube beside her asked,
"Ghost, where does the person you're looking for live?
Can we go to her house and look?"
"But I don't know where her house is either..."
If there was a possibility of time travel, Ye Yao would definitely go back and ask Wu Mi where she lived.
That way, at least the search area could be narrowed down.
"Do other people know?"
"Other people?"
Ye Yao's eyes lit up.
Her perspective returned to the room.
Ye Yao shook her head, forcing herself to adapt to the intense discomfort.
She had just suddenly realized a problem.
The flow of time in the Circular World was different from reality.
Her consciousness experienced several hours inside,
while her body in reality only experienced dozens of seconds.
Ye Yao's brain was essentially receiving several hours of information in dozens of seconds.
It was quite unpleasant.
However, to save Wu Mi, this small price was negligible.
"Xiao Luo, do you know where sequence 029 was discovered?"
"sequence 029?"
Luo Jianhua tilted her head, searching her memory.
She was also keeping real-time tabs on information within the Countermeasure Bureau.
No need to go back to the Countermeasure Bureau.
She only needed to browse public information on a specific app on her phone.
By logging in with the identity account provided by the Countermeasure Bureau, she could access it.
She could basically find information about some events in the Ability User world.
Of course, information files on high-risk sequences were generally not open.
Ye Yao was probably referring to the girl who had recently dropped one rank from Sequence 028.
Luo Jianhua knew everything.
But she didn't ask any questions.
"Hmm, Sister, wait a moment, I'll look for it, I should be able to find it."
Luo Jianhua took out her phone and started searching.
Logically, information on Sequence Ability Users couldn't be found online.
But sequence 029 was an escaped sequence.
And she was a basically harmless initial sequence.
Not like those heinous villains who kill at the drop of a hat.
Therefore, some basic related information could be found.
"Found it."
Luo Jianhua then stated the location where Wu Mi was discovered.
"Thank you, Xiao Luo, let me borrow your phone for a bit."
"You're welcome, Sister can use it however she likes."
Ye Yao took the phone and searched for landmarks on the crappy map.
She began to follow the route to find Wu Mi's possible hiding place.
Inside the Circular World.
"I roughly know where it is now, let's go."
"Huh? After aimlessly walking for half a day, you suddenly know?
Ghost, how did you do that?"
Sugar Cube cast a bewildered gaze.
"The wisdom of mortals."
Ye Yao was too lazy to answer.
It was impossible to explain clearly to this candy-like loli.
Then Ye Yao led Sugar Cube, following the map.
The landmarks were indeed found in the Circular World.
Following the route should not lead to any major surprises.
Now the sky was turning dark.
The Circular World also seemed to have day and night changes.
The city at night had a lot of neon lights illuminating Ye Yao's path.
Fortunately, it wasn't some rural dungeon.
Otherwise, it would definitely turn into a horror movie set.
Everything went wrong.
After walking for a while, Ye Yao indeed discovered something was amiss.
Sugar Cube voiced her question.
"Ghost, we seem to have been here before. Is this the right road?"
"Is... is it? Is it?"
Ye Yao began to wrestle with her own thoughts, her CPU nearly burning out.
The route on the crappy map was clearly correct!
Why did she get lost in the Circular World?
"Since this road isn't right, let's take a detour and see."
After all, all roads lead to Rome.
Taking a detour is better than getting lost!
Just as Ye Yao was leading Sugar Cube some distance down another route,
a sudden change occurred.
"Boom!"
A loud bang ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) echoed from a building not far away.
A pillar of fire shot out from a large hole in the wall.
As the pillar of fire extinguished,
a person laughing maniacally flew out of the hole.
"Hahaha!! If you want my life so badly, then come! You Countermeasure Bureau scumbags!"
Several figures followed closely behind.
The glow of abilities flickered in the dark night,
staging an incredibly violent scene.
Ye Yao quickly pulled Sugar Cube into hiding, several question marks appearing above her head.
"What's going on now?"
Ye Yao realized she hadn't fully grasped the nature of the Circular World.
Without a doubt, the scene just now was the Countermeasure Bureau fighting bad guys.
Where did those bad guys come from?
Were bad guys also caught in Wu Mi's Ability User disaster?
Then, a gritted-teeth voice faintly reached her ears.
"If we can kill you once, we can kill you a second time!"
Ye Yao immediately became interested.
"Let's get closer and see."
"Okay, okay!"
Sugar Cube showed no fear at all.
Instead, she was eager to join the excitement.
After all, she wasn't even afraid of a "ghost" anymore.
Only when Ye Yao got closer did she clearly see the specific appearance of the conspicuous bad guy.
The person was suspended a hundred meters in the air.
Dark red hair danced wildly like burning snakes.
Molten-like patterns coiled on his exposed arms.
The office building beneath his feet had already turned into a torch.
Glass curtain walls crackled and shattered.
Molten steel flowed down the building, collecting into a bubbling lake of molten iron on the ground.
His aura was incredibly scorching.
Ye Yao could feel a strong heat wave even from a distance.
This was definitely an A-rank Esper criminal.
Ye Yao couldn't help but complain.
"Why is it fire again?"
Is this common element a standard for bad guys?
The first time she encountered the Flame Demon.
The second time was that Shelter member with purple flame characteristics.
This time, in the Circular World, she saw another fire-type Ability User being besieged by the Countermeasure Bureau.
Logically, this should be a standard for hot-blooded manga protagonists.
The ensuing battle was extremely brutal.
The encirclement by five Countermeasure Bureau Ability Users made the villain launch a final counterattack.
The area within a hundred meters almost turned into a lava hell.
If not for the Countermeasure Bureau Ability Users controlling the scope of destruction, it would have been even more tragic.
The Countermeasure Bureau Ability Users' result was three dead, two alive, which could only be called a Pyrrhic victory.
Ye Yao watched from afar.
She was trying to understand the meaning of the Ability User disasters in the Circular World.
But just then,
the time on the clock tower reset to zero.
Ye Yao's vision suddenly twisted.
Night abruptly turned into day.
The environment suddenly changed.
Ye Yao looked bewildered.
"Back to the starting point?"
