Chapter 74 00074
74 Chapter - How Dare He?
Ye Yao was dumbfounded.
What kind of development was this?
People from an unknown force were actually targeting Mercury to find the Black Mist Esper?
They even tried to recreate the scene of the Black Mist Esper's appearance by having the Magical Girl defeated in a CG?
Was this the thought process of a normal person?
Ye Yao thought she should have distanced herself from Mercury by then.
Even the Countermeasure Bureau hadn't suspected anything.
Sure enough, villains always had bizarre thought processes.
The crucial thing was that the other party had actually guessed correctly!
Mercury really did know the Black Mist Esper.
"Fishing for information?"
Mercury's expression quickly calmed down.
If it were her usual self, she might not have been able to control her panic.
But now, she was a Magical Girl.
Behind her stood the people she needed to protect.
The Black Mist Esper mentioned by the masked man was Ye Yao.
If he knew his target was right behind her, it would definitely threaten Ye Yao's life.
She absolutely couldn't admit it.
"I don't know the Black Mist [N O V E L I G H T] Esper you're talking about. I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm just an ordinary Magical Girl."
Mercury replied seriously.
"Even if you defeat me here, you won't lure out the person you're looking for."
The masked man glanced at the two girls not far away.
Although they were both Espers, their mental energy fluctuations were very weak.
Except for the short-haired girl with black hair, who had mental energy close to B-rank.
The others were not worth bothering with.
Anyway, he didn't plan to let any of the three go.
Before fishing for information, he had observed the surrounding environment.
There were no powerful Espers nearby at all.
Even if he caused a commotion, he could finish quickly before the Espers from the Countermeasure Bureau arrived.
"We'll know if it works by trying. It's not a loss to eliminate talents from the Countermeasure Bureau here, to prevent them from opposing us in the future."
Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua ran behind Mercury.
Seeing this, the masked man laughed.
"Hahaha~ Not only did you not run away, but you actually came closer to me? Though I wouldn't have let you escape anyway."
But the next second...
The masked man's smile froze.
The three people in front of him instantly vanished into thin air.
Everything just now was an illusion!
When!?
When the masked man discovered his targets again, he saw that Mercury had already flown several hundred meters away with the two of them.
"...My A Leaf Obscures the Eye can only create a few seconds of illusion for the opponent. It won't last long."
Luo Jianhua's face was a little pale.
The opponent's mental energy was too strong.
Even with all her strength, she could only hard-control him for three seconds.
However, it was important to know that for mental energy below B-rank to hard-control an A-rank Esper for three seconds already demonstrated the strength of Luo Jianhua's ability.
Although there was a suspicion of a first-strike kill.
It still had very high value.
There was indeed a reason for her early classification as a Sequence Esper.
At the same time.
Mercury's magic wand automatically shot a beam of light into the sky.
It exploded in the air into a simple stick-figure of Mercury.
Undoubtedly, this was sending a signal to the Espers of the Countermeasure Bureau.
Seeing this, the masked man was immediately enraged out of humiliation.
He was actually hard-controlled by a little girl!
If others knew he let a D-rank and two C-rank Espers escape, where would his face go?
Moreover, that strong C-rank short-haired girl could actually hard-control an A-rank Esper.
She was undoubtedly a top talent of the Countermeasure Bureau!
She might be the most valuable target among the three, and he absolutely couldn't let her go!
"Since you won't cooperate, then leave your lives here!"
The masked man drew a short blade and instantly unleashed three streaks of cold light.
A terrifying sound of air being torn apart came from behind.
Mercury was a little flustered for a moment.
"Tong, Tong Yao, quickly let him see our power of bonds!"
"Don't panic, he's about to hit the jackpot."
Ye Yao hadn't lost her composure from beginning to end.
Even though she had always appeared nervous and scared.
But from the moment the masked man jumped out, she had been trying to hold back her laughter.
She had seen people courting death, but never someone courting death so spectacularly.
How dare he?
High above in the sky.
A sturdy figure stood in the clouds.
Lou Wei's calm gaze fixed on the aggressive masked man, not revealing a trace of killing intent, having already regarded the other party as a dead man.
A massive amount of mental energy had already spread out silently.
Even the A-rank mental energy of the masked man hadn't detected a thing.
As long as he dared to make an overly aggressive move, he would simply die silently.
Lou Wei didn't act immediately.
That would expose the fact that he was secretly protecting them.
And it would make Ye Yao suspicious.
It wouldn't be beneficial for future observation.
But at this moment, Mo Qiuli sent out a distress signal.
That gave him an immediate reason to act.
The cold light that was about to hit the three girls shattered instantly.
"Splat!"
The masked man immediately felt something was wrong and chose to turn and run.
But he quickly found that he couldn't control his body at all.
"Wh...?!"
The masked man stood at attention on the spot.
Then, as if lifted by something, he took off vertically.
His speed was comparable to a rocket launch!
Mercury's expression was a little shaken after realizing the danger was over.
"Huh? Where's the bad guy? How did he disappear?"
"Could it be that the power of bonds between Tong Yao, me, and Xiao Luo created a miracle?"
Mercury quickly fell into a fantasy.
Ye Yao interrupted her fantasy without hesitation.
"Wake up, it might be that the distress signal you sent attracted a master."
"Th-that fast?"
Mercury was both relieved and disappointed.
This development didn't fit the Magical Girl style at all.
Normally, the Magical Girl should unleash her subjective power and directly smash the villain.
Reality was indeed too cruel.
"Anyway, you send us back first, otherwise, how will you explain our situation when those adults come later?
If they find out you put us in danger, you'll definitely be punished."
"No! I don't want to be 'grounded' again! I'll send you back right now!"
Mercury panicked and quickly accelerated her flight.
She absolutely couldn't let the adults from the Countermeasure Bureau discover Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.
That way, Magical Girl activities would be completely unable to continue.
For Mercury, it would definitely be a huge torment.
It would be tantamount to the end of her life!
Ye Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, she could focus her energy on Xia Lian's side.
At the same time, she was also wondering.
What was the masked man's background?
It sounded like there was an organization looking for her Black Mist Esper alias.
To send an A-rank Esper to find someone, the force behind it was definitely not simple.
She would have to ask Mu Luo to gather information later.
Ye Yao didn't like being in a passive position.
High above the sky.
Lou Wei's gaze on the masked man was like looking at a dead person.
The next second, the mask instantly shattered, revealing the other party's true face, his eyes filled with extreme terror.
The masked man was forced to become a 'broken-faced' man.
Lou Wei's memory did not contain the other party's face.
This indicated that he was not a person on the Sequence list.
"Tell me the organization behind you."
"Lou, Lou Wei! How are you here!?"
This cold face was like a ghost or god!
His heart almost stopped.
It made no sense!
It made absolutely no sense!
He just came out to fish for information to lure out a Magical Girl.
How did he end up luring out this big daddy?
The broken-faced man's mind went blank.
He suspected he had been set up...
