155 Chapter - I'Ll Keep Your Secret
Cheng Muxue once again felt the Mind Network being invaded while in the Countermeasure Bureau's Interrogation Room.
Because you were nearby at the time, and after repeated comparisons,
Cheng Muxue has basically identified you as the mysterious entity invading the Mind Network.
Cheng Muxue had considered if it might have been sequence 002, who had snuck into the residential area and hidden.
That is, Ye Yao's elder sister.
But the situation in the Countermeasure Bureau's Review Agency couldn't be explained.
Lou Wei said the other party arrived later.
So the answer is very obvious.
Cheng Muxue was quietly awaiting Ye Yao's reply.
There was no pressure, no urging, just like asking a normal question.
But this was anything but normal for Ye Yao.
After seeing Cheng Muxue's inner thoughts, Ye Yao didn't even have a chance to argue.
It's all because of this hateful, useless system.
Why did it automatically connect out of nowhere?!
Now it's done.
Caught red-handed by Auntie.
If she admitted this, many people would probably find out.
Her current pace of life might completely collapse.
Ye Yao didn't want too many changes.
She felt things were pretty good now.
She didn't have to use too much brainpower and could live the life she had always dreamed of.
If only she could turn Cheng Muxue like she turned Luo Jianhua.
But Luo Jianhua was an immature little girl.
While Cheng Muxue was already a reliable adult.
Could she really be turned?
Ye Yao glanced at Cheng Muxue again.
Due to your accusation helping Cheng Muxue expose the mole hidden within the Countermeasure Bureau base, she has already decided to agree to any of your requests.
Speaking of which,
Ye Yao's heart suddenly calmed down.
“Auntie, can you keep it a secret for me?”
This sentence was equivalent to an admission.
From Cheng Muxue asking the question to Ye Yao answering,
A simple question and answer dispelled the doubts in Cheng Muxue's heart.
“So it really was you...”
Cheng Muxue felt exceptionally relaxed, with a sense of relief.
At least it wasn't a bad person hiding in the dark.
If it was Ye Yao eavesdropping, then it wasn't unacceptable.
However... if she was eavesdropping, it meant she already knew many hidden things.
Such as Lou Wei and Xiao Jing's identities, and her own true situation.
These were all things she wasn't supposed to know yet.
But a single invasion of the Mind Network made her understand everything clearly.
Cheng Muxue looked at Ye Yao's slightly calm face.
After knowing about this, she not only showed no abnormality but could also pretend not to know to maintain this life.
Such a strong mindset and shrewdness were simply not what a child of this age should possess.
More importantly, Lou Wei, Xiao Jing, and other Countermeasure Bureau members were all acting very seriously.
Did this seem full of hypocrisy in her eyes?
“Ye Yao, you must know everything, right? About the identities of those around you, and your own situation.”
Now it was Cheng Muxue's turn to be nervous.
She had to care about this child's feelings.
There was indeed a cautious feeling.
Always worried that these false things would cause Ye Yao's resentment.
Even though Cheng Muxue was an S-Class Esper at the peak of Ability Users.
She still had to speak softly in front of this little girl.
Not only was there no blame for Ye Yao invading the Mind Network,
But there was also a strong sense of guilt.
Who told her she wasn't the real aunt?
Just a completely unrelated person impersonating a relative.
Moreover, Ye Yao was rumored to be sequence 001, capable of destroying the world.
Her inner thoughts were the most important.
Ye Yao saw Cheng Muxue's worries through the pin hao jia system.
Why did it feel like she was treading on thin ice?
Fortunately, after Cheng Muxue discovered this, she didn't tell anyone.
Instead, she came to her alone to confess.
Otherwise, Ye Yao really wouldn't have had so much room to maneuver.
“Yes, I know everything. I seem to be a Sequence ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Esper under control.
Everyone around me is from the Countermeasure Bureau, and many things are prearranged.”
As soon as Ye Yao said this, Cheng Muxue's heart tightened.
“Then, what do you think? Will you be angry?”
Ye Yao blinked.
“Why would I be angry? You gave me a home, let me live a comfortable life, and helped me make new friends. I should be more grateful.”
“Is that so...”
The heavy stone in Cheng Muxue's heart finally dropped.
This was undoubtedly the best news.
Ye Yao held no hidden hostility towards the National Countermeasure Bureau.
Nor did she feel strong dissatisfaction with this fabricated network of relationships.
As long as her emotions and mindset remained stable, she wouldn't temporarily go to the extreme of destroying the world.
Cheng Muxue found herself liking this child more and more.
Thinking back now,
When she asked earlier, Ye Yao surprisingly didn't argue or deny it.
She directly admitted to being the one who invaded the Mind Network.
Cheng Muxue had originally been prepared to act as if nothing happened if Ye Yao didn't admit it.
What does this mean?
Cheng Muxue's relaxed state gradually returned, her heart filled with extreme delight.
This meant that she, Cheng Muxue, held a very important position in Ye Yao's heart!
Such an easy admission might be because she believed her aunt was someone she could confide in.
That's what made the conversation atmosphere so relaxed.
If it were someone else asking Ye Yao, they might not have gotten the answer so smoothly.
Ye Yao felt like laughing after seeing Cheng Muxue's inner thoughts.
But she still had to try hard to hold it in.
“Auntie, aren't you going to use your ability to see if I'm lying? I'll allow it.”
Ye Yao's eyes were extremely clear, as if bringing up an insignificant matter.
This sentence brought a huge shock to Cheng Muxue's heart.
As an S-Class Esper who had forcibly connected to many people's minds,
She naturally knew how many people resisted exposing their true thoughts.
And Ye Yao brought it up herself after knowing the effect of her ability.
It was practically giving the greatest trust.
It was tantamount to opening her heart.
Cheng Muxue shook her head repeatedly.
“No, no need. I trust little Ye Yao. I won't read your mind; our communication will only be verbal.”
No kidding.
Even if Ye Yao agreed to a Mind Network connection, Cheng Muxue wouldn't do it.
This was an action with no retreat.
It would also convey an unfriendly message to Ye Yao.
Cheng Muxue was among the younger batch of S-Class Espers.
But she would definitely not touch a sensitive point.
This was the most basic way of thinking for S-Class Espers.
Ye Yao showed a slightly subtle smile.
Auntie~
Since you're unwilling to read my mind, then I'll intensely read yours.
It's your choice, isn't it?
Ye Yao seemed to regain control of the situation.
She wasn't flustered at all anymore.
Now there was only one last thing left.
“Auntie, can you keep my secret?”
Ye Yao repeated the question.
“This...”
Cheng Muxue's expression was a bit hesitant.
Logically speaking,
As an S-Class Esper of the Countermeasure Bureau, she shouldn't conceal anything from the state.
Major changes regarding sequence 001 should be reported truthfully.
But now... facing Ye Yao's pleading eyes, recalling the promise in the Interrogation Room,
And considering various factors,
Cheng Muxue could only nod silently.
“I'll keep your secret.”
