169 Chapter - For Her Sake?

"N-nothing?"

A question mark appeared above the girl's head.

Is that correct?

The initial sequences that Mu Luo brought out in the past were all people who did not want to be controlled.

At that time, Mu Luo almost completely ignored the person after bringing them back.

It might still be crawling in the shadows somewhere.

The three of them must have been unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere at the time.

So he chose to travel far away.

Ye Yao thought it was normal.

It is said that back then, Mu Luo would not return for ten or fifteen days at a time.

Xia Lian and the others could only eat foods with a longer shelf life.

Dried meat, snacks, bottled water, and the like.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was a post-apocalyptic safe house.

Compared to those days of being under control, it's even more miserable.

Ye Yao felt like running away from home just thinking about it.

It's understandable that those three people went on a long trip.

It's much better than staying in one place and spending time with a group of people you can't talk to.

So what is the cost?

After Ye Yao was taken in by Mu Luo, they were never seen returning.

They either live a secluded life in a very hidden place.

Or they'll be silently arrested and brought back under control by the countermeasures bureau.

Night Ballads tends to be the latter.

However, Lou Wei's answer was unexpected.

Ye Yao almost thought that the Countermeasures Bureau was deliberately concealing the truth because they didn't want to hand the person over.

After checking Lou Wei's thoughts through the Pinhaojia system, it became clear that the other party was not lying.

Those three people really don't exist in the Countermeasures Bureau!

"How could it not be there? This shouldn't be happening..."

Ye Yao fell into deep thought.

Based on the information available, none of the three individuals possessed the same level of stealth and mobility as Mu Luo.

If they were to swagger back into society, they would definitely be targeted by the countermeasures bureau.

That didn't happen.

Even the countermeasures bureau failed to detect their presence.

Lou Wei stared at Sequence 002, who was deep in thought, and added a sentence.

"We were quite puzzled when we saw that all of you had been mobilized."

The number of people who appeared does not match the number of people who were taken away.

Therefore, we suspect that those sequence ability users who did not follow you may have already returned to society.

After that, the countermeasures bureau dispatched intelligence agencies to search for their whereabouts.

But it still hasn't been found to this day.

Lou Wei initially thought that those unseen sequence ability users didn't like to travel.

It seems that's not the case now.

Even the zero sequence is searching for their traces.

First, we can rule out the possibility that they are living in seclusion.

This era is not as backward as it used to be.

Even if you run to the most remote and desolate mountain forest.

They narrowly escaped the search by the technology side.

There are also supernatural abilities that can identify people.

Unless, like some high-risk sequences, they frequently change hiding places.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to live in seclusion for so long.

"Something might have happened..."

Ye Yao was utterly dejected.

I originally wanted to take advantage of the improved relationship with the Countermeasures Bureau to get the person back.

With three more family members, you can further achieve freedom in allocating attribute points.

And what was the result?

They're not here!

Who will make up for the attribute points she's missing?

Ye Yao quickly added a sentence.

"There's one more condition if you want us to help you clear out the high-risk sequences!"

That means using the Countermeasures Bureau's intelligence network to help me find those three people.

"We would have looked for you even if you hadn't told us."

The Countermeasures Bureau certainly couldn't allow unsupervised Sequence Ability Users to roam freely outside.

There is at least one person to cover for the zero sequence.

Sequence 002 is basically the same as Louwei in terms of positioning.

If anything happens to someone close to you, you can use your strength to resolve it.

In this way...

Once the three original sequences that were missing have been found.

That would allow us to formally transfer them to Sequence Zero.

This served to ease the somewhat strained relationship between the two sides and, incidentally, to prepare for the two sisters to meet in the future.

To avoid a situation where Sequence 001 is crying and demanding her older sister while the Countermeasures Bureau is still on bad terms with the other party.

This must be absolutely avoided.

Ye Yao felt relieved after hearing Lou Wei's promise.

After all, those were family members who had made the reservation.

We must find them no matter what.

If it's just about living in seclusion in a certain place, that's fine, at least you don't have to worry about safety issues.

But what if...

The thought of that wretched shelter made Ye Yao feel terrible.

I'm afraid they'll be lured into pyramid schemes.

We can only hope that the person is alright.

"That's all for now, I'm going back."

Ye Yao didn't want to stare at Lou Wei anymore.

Anyway, no matter how much you talk, you can't break through their defenses.

It was fine to maintain the black fog state before.

At least he can play the villain, target the real person, and make Lou Wei angry and take action.

But now...

Sequence 002 directly becomes the original's older sister.

No matter how harsh the words are, they'll probably just be taken as empty threats.

Lou Wei probably felt nothing at all after hearing this.

So Ye Yao was very angry.

I'm planning to find an opportunity to make my strict father suffer in the gaming world.

"Aren't you going to leave your contact information?"

Lou Wei stared at the girl's back and asked calmly.

"Hmph, no need. I'll come to you myself if I have any news."

The next second.

Night Ballads fade into the shadows.

I'm just here to deliver some things.

There was absolutely no need to stay.

I'll ask for information about other high-risk sequences next time I come.

It won't be long.

Lou Wei stared silently at the receding shadows, then looked at the scroll in his hand.

I don't know why.

He never sensed that Sequence 002 harbored strong hostility towards him.

Logically speaking, given how many times it has been targeted, it should have been °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° considered the number one enemy long ago.

It's understandable that he might occasionally show a hint of murderous intent.

But Lou Wei didn't notice.

Sequence 002 only knows how to argue and provoke.

Even when they get angry, it's not the extreme kind of rage.

"Is this because of her?"

Lou Wei shook his head and turned back to the Countermeasures Bureau base.

Taking advantage of the time that Ye Yao stayed at the base.

He was to work with the others to study the shelter's contents.

This is also to ensure that no accidents occur.

Under Lou Wei's watchful eye, the shelter could hardly cause any trouble.

Inside the training field.

Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua sat on the edge playing games.

Meanwhile, Mo Qiuli was training hard on the field.

The two images present a stark contrast.

If some parents saw this, they might say, "Look at them, and then look at yourself."

However, Ye Yao did not have such parents.

Her parents will probably just let her play games to her heart's content.

Originally, Luo Jianhua also wanted to exercise on the training field on a whim.

But before he even got a chance to play, Ye Yao pulled him over to duo queue.

Nothing is more annoying than the sound of your roommate turning pages!

No more infighting! Let's slack off together!

"Yay! We won! Xiao Luo carried the game so well, I was completely carried to victory."

Ye Yao affectionately hugged Luo Jianhua to celebrate their victory.

They completely disregarded the negative performance in the settlement.

So what if we have a bad record?

So what if the rating is low?

At least they got a share!

"My older sister also played a very important role."

Luo Jianhua enjoyed Ye Yao's closeness, so much so that her eyes narrowed in comfort.

At this moment, Ye Yao seemed to remember something.

"Speaking of which, perhaps it will be soon time for you to meet with my other friends."

Xiao Luo has been curious for so long, it's time to meet him.
