Chapter 520: Temporarily Avoiding the Edge?
Ye Ge soared into the sky as if she had accomplished her goal!
She was still holding the motionless Luo Jianhua with one arm.
The young girl, Luo Jianhua: "???"
What was happening?
Shouldn't she have sacrificed herself heroically on the spot like an adult?
Why did it feel like she had been taken prisoner?
Although the girl had become a bit of a cyborg, she wasn't completely without her own thoughts.
Otherwise, the Countermeasure Bureau would have noticed her mental issues years ago and arranged a full course of treatment for her.
Young Luo Jianhua didn't understand what was so special about herself.
Even if she was the best among her peers, it shouldn't be enough to interest the enemy.
Or were they going to use her to threaten the Countermeasure Bureau into doing something?
But this big sister could clearly invade the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters whenever she wanted, and she had even ground the powerful mentor into the dirt; was there anything she couldn't do?
Was it really necessary to use a mere genius girl to threaten the Countermeasure Bureau?
She couldn't understand it, she really couldn't.
However, young Luo Jianhua didn't resist at all.
This mysterious big sister's target should be her.
If she was taken away, the rest of the people might be safe.
Sacrificing herself to buy some breathing room for the Countermeasure Bureau—there was probably nothing more worthwhile than that.
Luo Jianhua was willing to give her all for the Countermeasure Bureau.
This was her responsibility.
Being like this... did she count as living the way the adults expected?
Would her voluntary sacrifice satisfy them?
Even in this situation, young Luo Jianhua still didn't prioritize her own safety.
Instead, she wondered if she had met the expectations of others.
She didn't live for herself, but for the wishes of others.
Ye Ge didn't care what the girl was thinking for the moment.
They hadn't recognized each other as family yet, so she couldn't read her thoughts.
She just looked off into the distance.
The airflow there was very intense, surging with a very violent aura.
It seemed Jie Dayun was returning at full speed.
He didn't feel as strong as Shen Dayun when using the Corona Form.
What was the use of coming back? He'd just be crushed like a speed bump.
But Ye Ge didn't want to crush Jie Dayun fair and square just yet; it didn't matter if she let them keep their illusions a little longer.
Then she turned her gaze back to the Countermeasure Bureau.
She took a look at the familiar people and things.
Xiao Jing mama was still so young and beautiful; she really wanted to throw herself into her arms and act spoiled.
Unfortunately, they couldn't recognize each other yet, at least not as Ye Ge.
The Prophet Tu Sheng seemed to be deep in thought, her confusion evident.
It seemed she felt her prophecy had been wrong.
Fangfang's Sugar wasn't at the headquarters either, so she couldn't take it along.
In the end, she could only take Luo Jianhua.
"Hmph."
Ye Ge said no more and disappeared with young Luo Jianhua, leaving no trace behind.
Inside the command center, no one dared to even breathe.
Only when the high-level officials saw Ye Ge disappear did they slowly exhale.
"She's gone?"
"She actually didn't plan to destroy the Countermeasure Bureau?"
One only had to look at the fate of the Sentinel Agency and the island nation cesspool to know.
Not even ash remained in the places targeted by Ye Ge; only her signature bottomless pits would be left behind.
Originally, after seeing Fu Qi and Fang Ze defeated, the high-level officials thought the headquarters was doomed.
To their surprise, they had survived.
A narrow escape from death!
Just then, along with a ripple in space, a weak voice sounded in the command room.
"Report the casualties..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Director, you're actually not dead!?"
"Cut the nonsense! Have someone summarize the casualties!"
Jie Fuqi's expression was pale and grim.
It had been a long time since he had suffered such a serious injury.
He had actually been defeated in a single blow.
Although he hadn't activated other Form Techniques at the time, it was enough to prove how powerful the enemy's methods were.
Even more serious was that he had actually blacked out for dozens of seconds!
Forget dozens of seconds; even one second would probably have been enough for Ye Ge to level the headquarters!
Lou Wei was away, Fang Ze was struggling—who could shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
After Jie Fuqi regained consciousness, he had already prepared for heavy casualties at °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters.
He looked around.
Fang Ze was nowhere to be seen; he had likely died heroically.
Not to mention the weak Ability Users in the headquarters who couldn't even stand their ground; the place was likely littered with corpses.
Jie Fuqi now only wanted to know the specific casualty figures.
Soon, the casualty situation was quickly summarized.
"Report: The casualty data is 5 seriously injured, 4 lightly injured, 0 dead, and 1 missing!"
Jie Fuqi froze for a moment.
What did that mean?
Not a single person died?
Then why did an unparalleled Ability User like you invade the Countermeasure Bureau Headquarters?
Jie Fuqi felt as if he was being toyed with.
He had been prepared for the total annihilation of the headquarters when he woke up.
And it turned out to be zero deaths?
This was like driving on the road, accidentally running over something, vaguely hearing a woman cry out in grief, "My child!", thinking you'd killed someone and would face prison time, only to get out of the car and find it was a dog—the same sense of absurdity.
At this moment, even the most incomprehensible things became clear.
Half of the pressure filling his heart was instantly unloaded.
She said she was going to destroy the world, but in the end, she only injured a few people at the headquarters?
If one didn't know better, they'd think she was just here to challenge a dojo!
Jie Fuqi remained speechless for a long time.
He realized there were many suspicious loopholes.
The fact that he wasn't dead was the biggest point of doubt.
Just looking for fun?
But that cold face didn't look like someone who did things for fun; what she said was undoubtedly the truth.
His intuition most likely wasn't wrong.
Jie Fuqi quickly focused on an important point.
"Who is missing?"
"The missing person is named Luo Jianhua, a super genius hailed as potentially the youngest S-Class Esper in history. According to surveillance footage, she was taken by the enemy for reasons as yet unknown."
Hearing this, Jie Fuqi was even more puzzled.
He knew Luo Jianhua.
After all, she was the most dazzling genius of the modern era, potentially the youngest S-Class Esper in history.
As the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau, Jie Fuqi naturally paid attention to her situation.
Although Luo Jianhua seemed a bit overly mature, she was growing up healthily and was very low-maintenance; she was undoubtedly one of the future pillars.
But Jie Fuqi hadn't paid too much attention.
He had planned to personally teach her some techniques regarding S-Class Espers after she was promoted to S-Class.
He didn't expect her to be targeted by that woman named "Ye Ge."
This made no sense!
Luo Jianhua's background was very clean, and the Countermeasure Bureau was aware of all her movements; she spent almost every day at the headquarters, so how could she possibly know Ye Ge?
Furthermore, what attraction did she hold for Ye Ge?
She was just a somewhat rare genius Ability User; to a powerhouse of that level, it shouldn't matter at all.
This logic simply didn't hold up!
The more Jie Fuqi thought about it, the more his head ached.
Then he suddenly looked up in one direction; powerful Mental Power was vibrating above the Capital.
The modern strongest had returned.
Unfortunately, he had returned a bit late.
Ye Ge had already left.
Now another point of doubt arose for Jie Fuqi.
Since Ye Ge had such great strength, why did she leave so quickly?
Was it related to Lou Wei?
Was Ye Ge wary of Lou Wei?
Jie Fuqi only felt his heart rate accelerating.
Was it a case of kings not meeting, or was she just avoiding the brunt of his attack?
