164 Chapter - Is That How You Say It, Cat?

A group of Countermeasure Bureau Espers appeared one after another.

Most of them had unstable auras.

Their Spiritual Power fluctuations were extremely volatile.

Ye Yao could tell that they had indeed rushed over with all their might.

However, they still couldn't catch up to Ye Yao's speed of resolution.

The squad leader, seeing the person in the ruins, forcibly stabilized his own fluctuations.

He had temporarily exited the overlimit state.

"Sequence Zero? Was this incident caused by you?"

Ye Yao stepped forward to face him.

"Think again."

A large number of conjectures flashed through the leader's mind.

The other party was currently in a neutral faction.

His superiors shouldn't consider a force that still had the potential to do evil as neutral.

Then the destructive scene just now shouldn't have been their doing.

And Sequence Zero had a habit of hunting High-Risk Sequences.

They appeared here shortly after finishing their meal.

Perhaps they had discovered traces of a High-Risk Sequence.

"Were you fighting a High-Risk Sequence just now?"

Ye Yao was very satisfied with the leader's reaction time.

"Your reaction isn't too slow."

But the leader was a bit confused.

"Is there anyone among the High-Risk Sequences who can create that level of energy?

A man-made sun? An attack that would wipe out the city if it exploded?"

"Ah, that was my doing."

"You..."

The leader's blood pressure was rising.

"I..."

Looking at the young girl, suspected to be sequence 002, the leader had a swear word he didn't know whether to say or not.

How on earth was such a dangerous person released?

It was a close call that the "small sun" didn't explode just now.

Otherwise, everyone would have been blown to pieces.

The consequences would have been unimaginable.

The leader suppressed his blood pressure and calmed himself down.

"Which High-Risk Sequences were you fighting just now?"

Ye Yao thought back.

"One of them seemed to be able to turn things into explosives."

"Sequence 066."

The leader quickly identified the person Ye Yao was talking about.

"The one you mentioned didn't have a complete corpse; I blew him up like fireworks.

Originally there were three people, two of whom didn't have complete corpses, and one was cut in half. You can come and identify them."

"With their strength, did you really need to make such a big commotion to deal with them?"

sequence 002, among them, goes without saying.

She could basically be called the second strongest in the world.

The other members of Sequence Zero were not to be trifled with either.

Even within the Countermeasure Bureau, they were powerful individuals guarding their own territories.

Sequence 066?

An ordinary A-rank Esper.

He only reached this level by using his Supernatural Ability to create many explosions.

In direct combat, he would struggle against Ability Users of the same level.

The High-Risk Sequences accompanying him certainly weren't that powerful either.

According to known intelligence,

there were no frontline High-Risk Sequences active in this city.

How could a lineup as luxurious as Sequence Zero cause such an astonishing commotion?

Ye Yao said calmly, "There's the shadow of the Shelter here. They have a way to make three Ability Users go berserk simultaneously, one of whom even broke through the S-rank limit."

"The Shelter again?"

"And they can create berserk S-ranks!?"

The Countermeasure Bureau Espers were all shocked.

If a berserk S-rank were to cause trouble, they might not be able to stop it.

Even using a human wave tactic to fill the line with lives would result in unacceptable casualties.

The Shelter actually has such technology!

Looking at it this way,

Sequence Zero being able to resolve them indeed reduced a large number of casualties.

Although the commotion was a bit big, it was nothing compared to countless deaths and injuries.

"Our Countermeasure Bureau thanks you for your contribution."

"Don't be so quick to thank us. If we hadn't come, they would have been preparing to create an Ability disaster.

Even if you could handle it later, what about the casualties during that time?"

Ye Yao couldn't help but complain about the Countermeasure Bureau's intelligence network.

The best way to handle it is to solve the problem before the disaster occurs.

The Countermeasure Bureau should have discovered the hiding place of Sequence 066 and his two companions earlier.

A secret purge afterward would have been a highly efficient operation.

The leader ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) was silent for a moment.

"The person in the Countermeasure Bureau who could foresee Ability disasters had an accident.

Our intelligence capabilities will be greatly weakened during this period. This is indeed our shortcoming."

Ye Yao blinked.

A conjecture vaguely appeared in her mind.

He couldn't be talking about that Prophet whose Supernatural Ability was crippled because she foresaw the destruction of the world, could he?

Did she single-handedly cripple the Countermeasure Bureau's strongest intelligence agent?

Ye Yao felt a little guilty.

However, on second thought, she didn't do it actively.

She hadn't even accused him of slander yet.

Ye Yao waved her hand.

"Enough. You'll handle the aftermath later. Now, let's talk about something else."

Ye Yao pulled Sugar Cube from behind her to in front of her.

"Hmm?"

Sugar Cube was like a cute creature that had wandered onto a battlefield, completely out of place with the serious atmosphere.

The leader looked at the pink-haired girl pulled out by sequence 002.

He recognized her identity at a glance.

"Sequence 033?"

What did this sequence 002 mean?

To admit that they had infiltrated the Countermeasure Bureau and stolen Sequence 033?

This did not align with their actions as a neutral faction.

It would only make the Countermeasure Bureau very difficult.

Ye Yao's expression was righteous.

"She was found at Sequence 066's hiding place.

We rescued her.

She plans to follow us.

Do you have any problems?"

The implication was:

Stealing Sequence 033 was done by the Shelter.

It had nothing to do with their Sequence Zero.

They rescued her, so it was impossible to return her.

The leader felt a little suffocated.

Could these small fries steal Sequence 033 from the heavily guarded Countermeasure Bureau?

And cross such a long distance from one city to another?

If they had such abilities, why would they still be here?

They would have long since fled abroad to live a carefree life.

Anyone with eyes could see that Ye Yao was giving the Countermeasure Bureau a way out.

Anyway, the reason for Sugar Cube's appearance in Sequence Zero was given.

It just depended on whether they would acknowledge this matter.

Ye Yao shook Sugar Cube in front of her, signaling her to say a few words.

Sugar Cube reacted.

"These big brothers and sisters rescued me from bad guys.

They're very good, and I want to stay with them."

After speaking, she quietly confirmed with Ye Yao.

"Cat, is that how you say it?"

Everyone present was an Ability User.

Such a whisper couldn't hide anything at all.

Ye Yao covered Sugar Cube's small mouth, not letting her continue.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Ye Yao's expression remained as cold as frost.

She had no shame left.

The leader's mouth twitched slightly, and the others could only pretend not to hear.

It was hard to imagine that sequence 002 would do such a shameless thing with such a beautiful face.

There was some respect, but not much.

The leader could only nod, as if he had lost all his strength.

"We understand. This matter will be reported truthfully."

Ye Yao nodded with satisfaction.

Good, very sensible.

Although Sugar Cube's clumsy operation caused a small error in the situation.

But it did not affect the intended outcome.

"We're leaving. You handle the rest."

Ye Yao took Sugar Cube's small hand and walked over to Mu Luo and the others.

The leader could only let them leave.

He couldn't possibly make them stay for interrogation.

"I hope there will be a day when we can cooperate."

"It depends on the situation."

Ye Yao left an ambiguous answer.

Immediately after, she made a grand exit!
