Chapter 123 00123
123 Chapter - Once And For All
The split body and Wu Mi arrived uninvited.
There was no prior notification.
Approaching the Countermeasure Bureau so rashly in this manner could be considered a blatant provocation.
What's more, in the eyes of those in the know, this was an extremely urgent situation.
"edict space, no displacement!"
New rules enveloped everyone.
Regardless of friend or foe, people were fixed in place.
Fang Ze's sudden action caught many people present by surprise.
But in the eyes of those in the know, this was absolutely the correct move.
Because sequence 001 had just arrived at the Countermeasure Bureau entrance.
No one could guarantee whether Sequence 008 would suddenly make a move.
One must know that the other party might be aware of sequence 001's true situation.
It was uncertain if Sequence 008 would treat Ye Yao as a regular passing little girl.
No matter how one thought about it, the risk was too great.
"I can't move!"
Mo Qiuli, next to Ye Yao, let out a gasp.
Her movements seemed unaffected.
But no matter how frequently she moved her feet, she couldn't move even a centimeter.
Like a high-ping warrior in a network game.
Ye Yao hadn't expected the split body and her main body appearing together would make her uncle so sensitive.
He immediately initiated control.
But the next second...
Ye Yao and the others regained their ability to move.
The sudden establishment of new rules would have a brief period of not distinguishing between friend and foe.
However, with Fang Ze present, he could subsequently differentiate between friend and foe.
It was only effective on specific targets.
Now, only the split body and Wu Mi were unable to move.
Without Fission in the data, they couldn't ignore this rule.
Ye Yao, the main body, tried walking a few steps.
After realizing she had returned to normal, she walked into the Countermeasure Bureau.
During this time, she even pretended to curiously glance at the split body and Wu Mi floating in the sky.
Her acting was top-notch.
But she should hurry inside.
If she continued to be exposed to Sequence 008's line of sight...
Ye Yao was afraid Great Fortune would directly make a move.
She wasn't ready yet.
Ye Yao, the main body, jogged into the Countermeasure Bureau.
The three of them arrived at a safe area under Ms. Yang's reception.
"Little ones, hide quickly. Something big might be happening now. You absolutely must not come out to join the fun later."
"What happened?"
"It's nothing dangerous, but for your safety, hide first. You'll know later."
Ms. Yang spoke to comfort the three of them.
Ye Yao could only nod, appearing well-behaved, without any troublesome elements.
But in reality, she had already shifted her attention to the split body.
"Is this how you greet guests?"
Ye Yao's tone was somewhat displeased.
Now she had experienced Fang Ze's exceptional abilities.
Her position was fixed in the air, unable to descend.
She couldn't even cosplay as a prisoner.
She was still carrying Wu Mi while flying.
After her Spiritual Power rose to C, she could achieve magical flight like Mo Qiuli through top-tier techniques.
Even Wu Mi, whose Spiritual Power reached A, couldn't do this yet.
This further confused the Countermeasure Bureau's judgment.
At this moment, a familiar figure stepped forward.
It was Zhou Qing, who had interacted with Ye Yao in the cycleworld.
"You came this time without any notification. With your identity, you naturally qualify for such vigilance from us."
None of the three S-ranks stepped forward to communicate.
It seemed they had no intention of showing themselves.
However, they were definitely prepared to strike at any time from the shadows.
As long as Sequence 008 made even a slight abnormal move, she would likely be besieged.
Who told the main body to be right here?
Ye Yao's tone was very calm.
"Prior notification? Have you dealt with your internal mole before notifying us, so the mole can prepare to ambush us again?"
It could be said that each had their own reasons.
There was a strong sense of broken trust in it.
"We have already controlled the people who had contact with the victim immediately.
The previous situation will not happen again; you can rest assured."
The higher-ups naturally took the Shelter's involvement in this incident seriously.
They had always known ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) that the Countermeasure Bureau was not clean.
But the Countermeasure Bureau was distributed nationwide.
There were also quite a number of Countermeasure Bureau Espers.
Precisely rooting them out was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Now that the mole had surfaced in the local Countermeasure Bureau, it was tantamount to seeking their own demise.
It was only a matter of time before they were caught.
"I don't trust it at all. I hope you can quickly issue a disposal notice regarding the mastermind, otherwise... Hmph."
Ye Yao didn't speak too definitively.
If she spoke too definitively and couldn't achieve it, it would be too embarrassing.
It would damage the prestige of Sequence 008.
Just applying pressure was enough.
Subsequently, Ye Yao dropped her aggressive tone.
"I didn't come here to cause trouble for you this time. I simply want to deal with Wu Mi's follow-up matters."
Everyone's gaze focused on the rice-haired girl next to Sequence 008.
At this moment, Wu Mi was no longer afraid of these gazes.
As long as she stood with Ye Yao, she was fearless.
This time, she didn't want to hide behind Ye Yao anymore.
Instead, she wanted to stand side-by-side with Ye Yao.
Only then would it count as breaking the cycle.
Many Ability Users saw Wu Mi's growth in various senses.
Zhou Qing could also perceive that Spiritual Power fluctuation that was clearly still unable to be hidden.
Wu Mi's hiding skills were extremely rusty.
Even Ability Users with lower Spiritual Power than her could detect it.
"Her Spiritual Power?"
Ye Yao casually explained.
"Is it strange? Wu Mi grew during this crisis.
The Shelter, to some extent, also gave a great gift.
I hope I encounter them later; I also want to give them a great gift."
As for what specific great gift it was, that was hard to say.
It just depended on whether the Shelter could receive it.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly.
If they remembered correctly... sequence 029's Spiritual Power was less than C-rank when she came last time, right?
As a result, this time she directly broke through to A-rank?
And she wasn't even a weak A-rank!
Even a rocket wouldn't be that fast!
How on earth did she manage to break through three major ranks consecutively while rampaging, without any issues?
Why didn't other people's rampages have this effect?
Ye Yao brought it up intentionally.
It would be even better if the hidden Shelter people could hear it.
It would directly infuriate them.
Ye Yao looked down at the Ability Users below.
Wu Mi, who was quietly observing, stated her discovery.
"The Ouroboros Line is still there; there's still a possibility of reconnecting. It's just temporarily disconnected now."
"It seems your Countermeasure Bureau still has some tricks up its sleeve, to be able to temporarily break free from the cycle.
I thought I'd see your embarrassing state this time. A bit of a shame."
The Countermeasure Bureau Espers were angry but dared not speak.
Why was Sequence 008's arrogance so overbearing?
While her abilities were indeed strong, her words were too merciless.
The key was that she truly had the strength to mock them.
Ye Yao was self-righteous.
It was Sequence 008 who was being verbally abusive; what did that have to do with her, Ye Yao?
Ye Yao stroked Wu Mi's head.
"Let's deal with it once and for all. After this, you will no longer bear any sin."
"Mm."
Wu Mi nodded.
Now, she no longer needed to touch the target to break the cycle.
She could directly perceive all Ouroboros Lines within her sensory range.
With a single thought, she erased them all.
