9 Chapter - Magical Girls Arrive!
Unfortunately, the "Family" system's information viewing function seems to only work for "family members."
Otherwise, Ye Yao could have compared data.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The mysterious person didn't want to answer Ye Yao's question.
Since she knew Lou Wei's name, it meant she was indeed from the Countermeasure Bureau.
Then there was no reason for her not to know what a Sequence Esper represented.
Ye Yao was quite scared at first.
But then she thought about it.
It's not a big deal if the Fission body dies, so why be afraid?
Now, Ye Yao's idea was to glean some information from this seemingly dangerous individual.
The Countermeasure Bureau was playing "house" with her, and the information she obtained was extremely limited.
So, she could only acquire it through more unconventional channels.
"Ahem~ I'll secretly tell you a secret, I'm actually a Sequence Esper too," Ye Yao whispered, as if with a guilty conscience.
Anyone unaware would think she was about to do something shady.
"Heh."
That sneer made Ye Yao feel a strong sense of insult.
"What? You don't believe me? Everything I said is true! I was originally Sequence 514, but I quickly rose to Sequence 114, and there's still a lot of room for improvement!"
The mysterious person said coldly, "The Countermeasure Bureau defines a maximum of one hundred Sequence Espers. Even if a new high-risk Esper rises, they will only push an old one out."
"Oh, well, never mind then."
Ye Yao was so embarrassed she had nothing to say, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Just pretend I didn't say anything just now, but maybe I can help you!"
The mysterious person fell silent.
What are you... saying?
She knew he was an officially recognized high-risk Esper, yet she said she wanted to help him.
Could it be that this loli had an intelligence problem?
"Tell me, tell me, what are you looking for other Sequence Espers for? I'm a little curious."
Ye Yao started talking to herself.
"Hmm, as far as I know, aren't Sequence Espers strictly guarded? Their living conditions shouldn't be that bad, so why would they be wanted?"
Ye Yao was using herself as an example.
Originally, the mysterious person didn't want to continue communicating with this silly loli.
But as soon as she brought up that matter, he couldn't help but scoff.
"Sequence Espers are divided into two types: one is dangerous ability holders discovered very early on, and the other is ability destroyers who cause huge disasters in society."
"You're talking about the former. Their living conditions aren't bad, but it's like house arrest. Everything they do is restricted, they might even be monitored 24/7, and their physical data is checked from time to time. They live without any dignity."
Ye Yao blinked.
Is it that exaggerated?
Ye Yao began to doubt herself.
Could it be that the situations among Sequence Espers differ, leading to differences in treatment?
Ye Yao cautiously asked, "Which type are you?"
"Of course, I'm the first type. I couldn't stand that kind of life, so I let my ability run wild and escaped in the chaos."
Ye Yao let out a breath, "You still haven't answered my previous question. What are you looking for other Sequence Espers for?"
"To rescue them, of course. We are all labeled with meaningless tags, essentially fated compatriots. I cannot bear to see others like me fall into such inhuman circumstances."
"Wow, is it just one person?"
"No, there are also some other Sequence Espers who have escaped control, plus free people who support this ideology."
As soon as he said this, Ye Yao's eyebrow twitched.
Oh my god, a terrorist organization.
These uncontrolled Espers gathering together would make the mayor of whichever city they were in sweat profusely.
At this point, the mysterious person paused.
Only now did he realize.
Wasn't he the one asking questions just now?
How did it get reversed?
"Forget it. Capturing you now and forcing the Countermeasure Bureau to exchange a compatriot is not unfeasible."
With that, the mysterious person intended to act.
Ye Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head.
"Wait, wait, wait! I'm also a Sequence Esper. In other words, I'm also your comrade. How can I betray my own comrade?"
She had snuck out.
And she was a Fission body.
If the Countermeasure Bureau found out that another Ye Yao had been caught by a dangerous Sequence Esper...
That would be disastrous!
"Hmph, don't try to deceive me. I won't hurt you; you just need to be obedient throughout."
The mysterious person clearly didn't believe Ye Yao.
How could a Sequence Esper be alone, seemingly outside the monitoring network of official personnel?
If what this girl said was true...
Then official Espers would have swarmed in the moment he appeared.
Furthermore... this girl was too weak.
She didn't look like a Sequence Esper at all.
The day he awakened his ability, he was several levels stronger than an ordinary person.
"I advise you not to resist. At most, you'll get a lecture after everything is over."
The black shadow beneath the mysterious person's feet began to spread.
The streetlights' illumination still functioned normally, but they couldn't dispel the dense, viscous black shadow.
"Dark Erosion."
The black shadow rapidly materialized, detaching from the ground to form huge, soft spikes, so numerous they made one's scalp tingle.
Ye Yao cursed at this.
"What the heck do you know!"
At this point, she could only resist with Fission.
Ye Yao didn't want the secret of her Fission body to be exposed too early.
But then a sweet shout disrupted the situation.
"Stop!"
Several light-blue beams descended from the sky, instantly shattering the dark spikes closest to Ye Yao.
"Boom!"
A petite figure landed in front of Ye Yao.
"Who?"
Ye Yao focused her attention to observe.
The girl's appearance was like a sea essence infused with starlight.
What impressed Ye Yao the most was undoubtedly her cascading, waterfall-like, water-blue hair.
It had varying layers—deep as a tranquil night sky near the roots.
The girl's face was small and delicate, with smooth lines, revealing the unique porcelain white and rosy complexion of a young girl.
Her eyes were incredibly clear, an enchanting ice-blue.
She wore a magnificent dress that looked like something out of an anime, entirely deep blue, yet dotted with specks of starlight, as if adorned with the colors of stars.
Ye Yao looked at the peculiar magic wand in the blue-haired loli's hand, her expression turning strange.
She probably guessed what role this loli was playing.
"Magical Girl—Mercury, has arrived! I will not allow the bullying of the weak to happen under my watch."
The loli, who called herself "Mercury," declared righteously.
Ye Yao had an "I knew it" expression.
How did she end up in a world view for children?
How could there be a Magical Girl?
Is this reasonable?
The mysterious person paused.
"Tsk, making such a big commotion."
The black shadow beneath his feet quickly disappeared.
The mysterious person, without hesitation, vanished into the darkness, as if he had never been there.
Ye Yao was initially puzzled as to whether "Sequence 012" ran so fast because he couldn't defeat this suddenly appearing loli Magical Girl.
But the next second, she also felt that she should run.
Ye Yao seemed to vaguely hear the sound of something cutting through the air.
"Hmph hmph, now you know how powerful I am, right?"
Mercury made a triumphant sound after seeing the bad guy driven away.
Turning her head, she found that the girl she had rescued had already disappeared.
"Eh?"
This made Mercury pause.
"That child didn't even thank me! How rude! ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Although it's not wrong to run away at the first sign of danger..."
Feeling lost...
