Chapter 46 00046
46 Chapter - This Move Might Hurt A Little
Mu Luo took the paper from Ye Yao's hand and looked down at its content.
The paper had basic information about five high-risk Sequence Espers at the bottom of the list.
They were Sequence 100 to Sequence 96.
The strongest of them hadn't even reached A-rank yet.
Their basic Esper abilities were all written on it.
Their appearance was extremely clear, easy to remember at a glance.
However, their locations were not concentrated.
The last known location where the targets appeared was written on it.
It wasn't even in this city.
If one wanted to hunt them, it would require cross-city pursuit, which would be a huge waste of time and energy for ordinary Espers.
But the organization Ye Yao belonged to was not ordinary.
Mu Luo tucked the paper into his pocket.
"I will find them."
"Once I find them, I'll call you all to join."
If it were a normal situation, going to the Countermeasure Bureau's Esper base to find Sequence Espers.
Mu Luo didn't plan to let his companions encounter danger.
But clearing out a few pieces of trash and calling his companions meant sharing the glory together.
Ye Yao became a little curious.
"Can Mu Luo really find people across cities?"
"It's just a bit of distance; it won't stump me."
Mu Luo immediately turned and left.
"Wait for my news; there will be results before tomorrow night."
Ye Yao's eyes widened, somewhat shocked by Mu Luo's efficiency.
"Now? That fast? I thought it would take at least a week..."
She realized that she had still underestimated this man who even gave the Countermeasure Bureau a headache.
Xia Lian stood behind Ye Yao, resting her hands on the white-haired loli's shoulders and smiling.
"Just leave this kind of thing to Mu Luo. A tracking dog's sense of smell is very strong; no matter how far, he can find what he's looking for. We just need to wait for good news."
Mu Luo waved his hand with his back to everyone, and the next second, he vanished into the darkness.
Only then did Ye Yao realize that Mu Luo's Esper ability was not that simple.
『Dark Corrosion』 sounded very abstract.
Currently, it showed strong escape ability, strong search ability, and perhaps strong combat ability too.
His mobility might be terrifying.
Originally, Ye Yao was in a residential area near a bustling market.
But in the blink of an eye, she arrived in a desolate suburb.
This kind of transfer speed might really ignore the distance between cities.
A Sequence 12 Esper was truly terrifying!
Ye Yao subconsciously looked back at Xia Lian.
How terrifying was this Sequence 009?
"Why are you looking at me?"
Xia Lian tilted her head and smiled.
"I'm wondering how powerful you are."
"Want to try it yourself?" Xia Lian suddenly suggested.
"Ah?"
"I heard from Mu Luo that you killed a B-rank Esper, and I'm a little curious how you did it, because you really look like a real cat, with no deterrent power except for getting angry and snarling at people."
Powerful Espers could discern the difference between two parties.
Xia Lian clearly sensed that Ye Yao's mental power was still far below the C-rank standard.
Even a Sequence Esper shouldn't be able to cross such a large gap in rank to kill someone.
Ye Yao found it hard to endure Xia Lian's mental power of just over three thousand.
Damn it, she wasn't even pretending anymore.
Normally, she compared the little loli to a cat.
Now she wanted to personally test the little loli's strength.
Cat abuse zone, you win.
Seeing Ye Yao's hesitant expression, Xia Lian immediately spoke to reassure her.
"It's okay, I'll go easy."
"Hmm, if I use my full power, my body won't be able to sustain it for too long and will quickly disappear."
"Anyway, I'll have to leave eventually, so how about letting me understand a bit more?"
After Xia Lian learned that the Ye Yao in front of her was a product similar to a clone, she had fewer reservations.
Gu Wenxin and Jiang Huashen were also very curious.
Ye Yao's small frame didn't look like she could kill a B-rank Esper.
Wu Mi looked troubled, wanting to speak but unsure whether to stop them.
But her body was very honest.
Her subconscious was craving change and novelty.
The sparring between Xia Lian and Ye Yao was not part of the loop.
To Wu Mi, who lived a repetitive life every day, this was like a good medicine.
She could only mumble softly.
"As long as everyone doesn't get hurt..."
Ye Yao took a deep breath, shrugging resignedly: "Alright then."
Ye Yao and Xia Lian went to an open space.
This was the backyard.
The area was also quite large, enough for the two of them to move freely.
Xia Lian stood opposite Ye Yao, with no intention of making the first move, but instead stared at the white-haired loli, her smile full of anticipation.
The night was quiet.
There were no residents nearby.
Even if they made a huge commotion, no one would likely know.
Dark clouds surged in the sky, obscuring the bright moonlight, leaving only the backyard lights focused on the two of them.
Ye Yao took a deep breath.
"Fission."
The next second.
Ye Yao's aura instantly surged.
The terrifying increase even made the faces of the three people present change dramatically.
Wu Mi didn't understand; she only knew that Ye Yao's presence had become formidable.
Xia Lian gazed at Ye Yao opposite her, her eyes trembling slightly.
"This terrifying surge..."
Is it real or fake?
From weak D-rank, she leaped to A-rank, spanning two major ranks, a difference of nearly a thousand in numerical value.
The huge gap was erased in an instant.
How was this possible?
Not far away, Jiang Huashen even stood up straight, his eyes wide as he stared at the petite Ye Yao, utterly dumbfounded.
What did it mean for the newly arrived little loli to instantly erupt with mental power equal to his own?
Where did his advantage as a senior go?
Xia Lian showed an amused smile.
"Eh~ What a powerful method. It seems you're really not a simple little white cat, but a little white tiger."
"How long can you maintain this form?"
Ye Yao estimated.
"Seems like about four minutes."
She had figured it out.
The various durations completely depended on the base stats.
38 mental power allowed the Fission form to last four hours without disappearing.
Under numerical Fission, it could last four minutes.
Four minutes of peak combat power also seemed very overpowered.
In other words, the ultimate skill's duration was longer than some people's lives.
In various games, this would be complained about by players until it got nerfed.
Xia Lian understood the situation and nodded slightly.
"Then attack me. Four minutes is too short; it's not enough to fully enjoy it."
The beautiful girl with long black hair still looked relaxed.
Ye Yao's thousand mental power still seemed a bit insufficient compared to her own value of three thousand.
There was also a huge gap between A-ranks.
Ye Yao pouted, feeling underestimated.
Now she had to prepare a surprise.
The white-haired loli extended one hand.
Just as Xia Lian wondered what kind of move this was, an invisible force immediately pressed down on her.
Cracks like a spiderweb suddenly appeared beneath her feet.
"Oh my?"
A flush of excitement appeared on Xia Lian's face.
"Little white cat, you really give me a big surprise. This must be the legendary highest-level application of mental power, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Huashen froze for a second, then let out a loud sound.
"Ha!? Don't bluff me, is that kind of technique something a human can learn?"
Gu Wenxin next to him was also filled with shock.
He was still trying to master that technique to this day.
But he had never succeeded, at most only getting an introduction.
And Jiang Huashen hadn't even gotten an introduction.
This made him feel instantly outclassed.
Legend said that only those whose mental power reached S-rank were qualified to enter that domain.
But what the hell was this white-haired loli?
Ye Yao's mouth curved slightly, almost performing the Dragon King's crooked smile.
"Hmph hmph~ I told you not to underestimate me."
Xia Lian savored it for a few moments, then immediately broke free from the control.
"Although the technique is genuine, the magnitude is a bit lacking. Stronger mental power can ignore it."
Red steam gradually appeared on Xia Lian's body surface.
"Continue, I want to see your limit."
"Tch."
Ye Yao clicked her tongue.
She didn't expect to always encounter numerical suppression.
However, Ye Yao wasn't without trump cards.
She had an idea when she first snuck out of her home.
Since material like clothes could be duplicated.
Then «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» was it possible for other things as well?
And bringing out the Fissioned data given by Mo Qiuli tonight proved that this idea was correct.
Her Fission power could be applied to other objects.
If so, she could try to develop new moves.
Her comprehension had always been extraordinary.
Ye Yao raised a finger.
Invisible mental power rapidly spread out.
The gravel under Xia Lian's feet began to vibrate slightly.
Huge stones were violently stripped away by mental power.
Nearly a hundred stones of different sizes floated in the air.
What is one hundred squared?
"Xia Lian, watch closely, this next move might hurt a bit."
