146 Chapter - Pig Brain Overload
A man with messy hair, standing in front of a purple bonfire, immediately spat out blood.
"Damn it! A core spirit disappeared. Why did the image transmitted back show a trace of Lou Wei?"
At that moment, a mocking voice came from the other side.
"It's rare to see you in such a sorry state. It looks like you ran into trouble with the Countermeasure Bureau."
The messy man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.
"Is this something you should be gloating about?
Don't forget we are a single collective.
All the intelligence regarding the Countermeasure Bureau is collected by me alone.
If something happens to me, who else among you will know their movements?"
The Trench Coat Man laughed softly.
"Saying this to us is pointless; why don't you just tell us what happened."
The messy man showed a look of apprehension.
"The Countermeasure Bureau may have gained control of a new ability, one that can detect my perfect concealment.
This time, one was unknowingly rooted out—the one that was targeting Sequence Zero."
The Trench Coat Man shook his head.
"Based on your account, we not only failed to cause trouble for Sequence Zero, we actually handed them a great gift."
"You failed to eliminate the enemy and wasted a crucial constituent spark. How will you compensate for this loss?"
The messy man became enraged out of embarrassment.
"Is this the time to kick someone when they are down?
If all the hidden pieces I placed within the Countermeasure Bureau are discovered, how much longer do you think your operations will run smoothly?"
"Enough, enough. We have developed for so many years, so the Countermeasure Bureau is irrelevant now.
Next, you only need to provide your final service. What does it matter if all the hidden pieces are cleared out?"
A man covered in grease showed an arrogant smile.
"In terms of direct power, we are not necessarily worse than the Countermeasure Bureau. I also have quite a few S-Class Espers. At worst, we will have a direct confrontation."
"What are we going to do about Lou Wei?"
"A joke. Is Lou Wei truly invincible?
His era has already passed.
I believe the title of 'Modern Strongest' will have to be transferred to someone else."
"Heh heh, you can go fight him when the time comes."
"Hmph!"
It seems the Countermeasure Bureau may have found a way to counteract the moles.
This means the Shelter should become more active.
We must accelerate our efforts to construct a place capable of blocking any disaster.
Anyone can die, but they still possess a strong desire to survive... Inside the lounge of the Investigation Agency.
After Lou Wei carefully inspected the spiritual body, he placed it back inside his colleague.
Cheng Muxue was carefully repairing the damage to the colleague's spirit nearby.
His Spiritual Power had severely plummeted, essentially wasting half a lifetime of effort.
Not only that, but he might also need a very long time to recover from his injuries.
Having fallen to this state, he could only be forced into retirement.
Cheng Muxue furrowed her brow.
"What method exactly did the opponent use?"
Lou Wei was also reviewing the situation.
"I estimate it was a highly secretive form of possession, one that can interfere with memory and even intermittently control the body without affecting the host's personality."
Cheng Muxue clicked her tongue: "No wonder we couldn't find it."
"The opponent is likely an S-Class Esper, at a higher level than you. Don't be discouraged; you still have a lot of room for growth."
Lou Wei offered a word of comfort when he saw Cheng Muxue was feeling down.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Lou Wei turned and left, preparing to return to Ye Yao's side.
For him, as long as Ye Yao did not stray too far, handling a small matter did not affect his ability to serve as a failsafe.
In any case, the majority of his attention was still focused on her.
Nothing could go wrong.
Cheng Muxue, meanwhile, fell into deep thought.
She immediately called for medical staff to take the person away for treatment.
Although the person had been saved, medical assistance was still required.
The mole incident within the local Countermeasure Bureau had now concluded.
She never expected that the one who contributed the most was actually Ye Yao.
Without her accusation, it likely wouldn't have been so easy to find him.
"She truly provided immense help."
Immediately, a thoughtful look appeared in Cheng Muxue's eyes.
Just now... did something else manage to slip into the mental network again?
On the other side.
Ye Yao's attention withdrew from the mental network.
I shouldn't... have been discovered, right?
"Sister, why were you acting like a robot just now?"
Luo Jianhua's plaintive voice drifted over.
Ms. Yang left after dropping the two of them off outside the Investigation Agency.
She had no intention of following them.
This was also considered not giving Ye Yao special treatment.
To avoid attracting too much attention.
Because of this, Luo Jianhua felt comfortable enough to speak freely.
"A robot? Was I... was I?"
"Yes, no matter what question I asked you, you only replied with 'Mhm,' 'Right,' or 'Oh.'
Even when I asked what you wanted to eat tonight, you only replied 'Rice.' Don't you think that's strange...?"
Luo Jianhua's tone grew increasingly plaintive.
Although she didn't mind Ye Yao concealing many things from her.
But sometimes it was just too obvious, wasn't it?
She felt extremely marginalized.
Yet she was clearly the person closest to Ye Yao.
"Ah, well..."
Now Ye Yao felt a little guilty.
Oh no, she really was acting a bit like a robot this time.
Mainly because her attention had been transferred into the mental space.
Her split body also needed to be active.
Juggling three tasks at once was truly overloading her brain.
"Cough cough~ I'm sorry, Xiao Luo, please forgive me, okay? I know I was wrong~"
Ye Yao grabbed Luo Jianhua's hand and tucked it into her ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ embrace, pressing their bodies very close, her tone carrying a hint of playful begging.
Although Luo Jianhua was relatively more mature compared to her peers.
But sometimes she still needed a bit of coaxing.
Ye Yao knew this well, and naturally wouldn't ignore Luo Jianhua's feelings.
"Mhm, I'm not angry."
Luo Jianhua felt a little dazed from being pressed so close.
She was almost entirely melted by Ye Yao's soft, gentle tone.
When Sister acted spoiled, it truly possessed a magical charm.
Her initially plaintive mood instantly vanished.
"Hehe~ Since you're not angry, let's hurry up and find Mo Qiuli~ She must have been waiting for quite a while."
"Mhm mhm."
Ye Yao led the way, holding Luo Jianhua's hand, with no intention of letting go.
In her mind, she was thinking about what she had just seen in the mental space.
The problem should be solved.
It seemed the mole had also run into Great Fortune.
Fortunately, the methods used by her aunt and Strict Father were sufficient.
They didn't allow the mole to escape.
It wasn't in vain that she risked exposure to set a trap for the mole.
This was cause for celebration.
The only pity was that she couldn't handle it personally.
Now there was still one problem.
After Cheng Muxue solved the problem, she might not leave this city so quickly.
She might even drop by for a visit under the guise of being a relative.
Just as Ye Yao thought of this, her phone gave a notification.
It appeared to be a group chat message.
Cheng Muxue had just tagged her in the "Heroes Gather" family group chat.
Cheng Muxue: Little Ye Yao~ I'm traveling to your city for work today, and I'll drop by to see you. Is there anything you need me to buy and bring for you?
It truly was a case of speaking of the devil and having her arrive.
The visit announcement came so quickly.
She was clearly still inside the Investigation Agency just moments ago.
Ye Yao replied simply.
Ye Yao: Buy some fruit. I want grapes and strawberries.
Cheng Muxue: OK! I will definitely make sure you are satisfied!
It seemed the other party was in a good mood.
Now Ye Yao started considering a problem.
What if Cheng Muxue discovered that she could sneak into the mental network?
What should she do then?
