Chapter 34 00034
34 Chapter - Who Are You Calling Cats And Dogs!
"You don't believe it?"
Ye Yao's expression gradually turned cold.
Her usual carefree attitude vanished completely.
It was a complete change of face, without any hesitation.
"That Flame Demon said he wanted to join an organization made up of Sequence Espers, so he killed many people and caused immense destruction."
Sequence 012 began to notice that Ye Yao's tone was off, and quickly grew interested.
"Were you there at the time?"
Ye Yao seemed to recall an unpleasant scene, and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"I heard the wails of many people, saw many things I shouldn't have seen. What nightmares do you think I had that night?"
Although she managed to fall asleep that night, Ye Yao did indeed have nightmares.
She just didn't show it the next day.
She had her strong mentality to thank for that.
"Interesting, keep going, I'm listening."
"Hmph, in the end, I mercilessly killed him, right in front of the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers."
Ye Yao snorted lightly, not giving him a chance to hear the story, fast-forwarding directly to the end.
Usually, she was the one who got to gossip.
It wasn't anyone's turn to gossip about her.
This time, Sequence 012 didn't take Ye Yao's words as a joke.
If this really was a joke, then he could only admire Ye Yao's excellent acting skills.
Her expression and tone were so lifelike.
Sequence 012 narrowed his eyes, subconsciously tensing his body, his tone no longer casual.
"How did you do it? I find it hard to believe that the mysterious Esper shrouded in black mist was you."
Ye Yao wasn't afraid of exposing her identity to him.
A wisp of black mist rose from her feet, gradually obscuring her figure.
A muffled voice emerged from the mist.
"What do you think? Do you want me to show you?"
The aggressiveness in her tone was already at its peak.
After realizing that Sequence 012 might be in cahoots with that damn Flame Demon villain, Ye Yao was ready to unleash a burst and then make a run for it.
Anyway, her main body was safe in the neighborhood with Lou Wei guarding her.
If Sequence 012 wanted revenge, he would have to get past that ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) numerical monster first.
Otherwise, the hatred from Ye Yao's nightmares would be hard to quell.
Sequence 012 finally believed her words after seeing Ye Yao in this stance.
"Heh heh... What a coincidence. I never expected that a random girl I abducted would turn out to be the mysterious Esper who slew the Flame Demon."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He seemed pleased by this dramatic turn of events.
"What is this? Unintended consequences?"
He had originally come for that mysterious Esper.
He had thought he would return empty-handed.
Who would have thought he would find her by a stroke of luck?
Sequence 012's emotions gradually calmed down, and he stared at Ye Yao, who was cowering in the black mist.
"Although I don't know how you did it, being able to slay the Flame Demon is enough to prove your ability."
Ye Yao didn't reply, feeling that his tone was strange.
It was as if her killing the Flame Demon was something that made him very happy.
Were they not in the same group?
At this moment, Sequence 012 seemed to recall something.
"Hey, could it be that what you said about being a Sequence Esper was also true at the time?"
He began to realize that Ye Yao might not have been lying.
A Sequence Esper really did sneak out from under the control of the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers.
Ye Yao didn't want to answer that question at all.
"You answer first, is the Flame Demon one of your people?"
She was already prepared to explode with a numerical Fission, like a firecracker.
Why was this guy still dawdling?
"No, just a lunatic."
Sequence 012 sneered.
"He thought he could join just by becoming a Sequence Esper. How could things be that good?"
His tone was full of contempt for the Flame Demon.
"If he really came looking for trouble because of this, I might even kill him myself."
Ye Yao: "???"
You sharpened your knife just to say that?
Where should she direct all the emotions she had built up?
Ye Yao was like a deflated balloon; the black mist around her was scattered by a gust of wind, revealing her petite figure once more.
"Hmm... are you telling the truth?"
"Why would I lie, for that self-righteous lunatic Esper? I could crush trash like that with a flick of my hand."
"Oh, this..."
Ye Yao could tell that Sequence 012's tone was genuine.
So they really weren't in the same group.
"Then are you a good person?" Ye Yao tilted her head and pressed.
If Sequence 012 answered no, then she was prepared to be a one-time firecracker and go all out.
Life and death are insignificant, just do it if you're not happy!
Living is all about having an open mind!
"I think I am," Sequence 012 replied.
"You say you are, so you are (annoyed)!"
Ye Yao had figured it out.
This guy wasn't normal either.
"What? Opposing the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers makes one a bad person? Since when did it become their place to define good and bad?"
Sequence 012's words were filled with animosity towards the national Countermeasure Bureau.
"I'm just taking away people who, like me, cannot control their own destinies. What's wrong with helping people control their own destinies?"
"If you say so, then it is. I won't express an opinion."
Ye Yao wouldn't pontificate on such matters.
Debating these things simply didn't fit her slacker style.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, I'm going back. You can do whatever you want."
Ye Yao muttered.
She had no desire to get involved in the conflict between the two sides.
Meddling wasn't her style.
But at that moment, Sequence 012 called out to her.
"Wait, are you going back to be controlled by the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers? You can actually accept that kind of life?"
"Gotta eat, right?"
If she ran away from the Countermeasure Bureau.
Who would provide her with the comfortable life she lacked?
Was she supposed to hide under a bridge with a tiny blanket?
Just thinking about it made her life seem bleak.
Sequence 012 extended his hand to Ye Yao.
"Since you are also a Sequence Esper, then join us. Our destinies should be controlled by ourselves; no one has the right to dictate our future."
"Hmm..."
It sounded like an interesting option.
But to Ye Yao, it held no appeal whatsoever.
Then Sequence 012 added a sentence.
"And... I brought back a girl about your age. Her condition has been very poor recently, and she might need a peer to accompany and guide her."
"Then take me there quickly!"
Ye Yao's eyes lit up, and she instantly became energetic.
If a Fission body joins, that still counts as joining, right?
Loli in distress! Ye Yao to the rescue!
Since it wasn't a truly terrifying organization, going to see was fine.
Anyway, it wasn't her main body going.
Sequence 012 nodded, without any unnecessary words, and directly led Ye Yao into the darkness.
That feeling of swimming through a slime-like body returned.
Fortunately, it didn't last long.
When Ye Yao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a new world.
It was like a farmhouse courtyard near the outskirts.
By the looks of it, it was completely away from the bustling city.
Presumably, this would minimize frequent harassment from the Countermeasure Bureau's Espers.
"Let's go."
Sequence 012 walked into the courtyard, and Ye Yao followed, curiously observing.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
A pleasant voice rang in Ye Yao's ear.
"Are you back? You even brought back a cute little one ~"
"You're still as fond as ever of picking up random people. Is picking up 'cats and dogs' so addicting to you?"
Ye Yao: "Huh?"
The white-haired loli immediately hissed!
Who are you calling a cat or a dog?!
When she gets angry, she'd even hiss at a speeding truck!
She had even provoked the numerical monster Lou Wei.
Who had the right to call her a cat or a dog?!
