Xia Chujian calmly said, "Maybe not all Remnant Species are the same. As far as I know, as long as you shoot enough bullets in a short period of time, let alone a Rank B Remnant Species, even a Rank A or Rank S, can be turned into mincemeat."
Kang Shanxing: ...He actually thought it made some sense.
No, he was being led astray. What sense did it make? Kang Shanxing quickly composed himself, his oppressive aura intensifying as he said, "No, we've tested it. The Remnant Species you killed has the same biological structure as the previous three. They are the same species."
"Then I don't know," Xia Chujian stretched her legs and casually shook her head. "That's your problem. I'm sorry I can't give you a satisfactory answer."
Kang Shanxing didn't continue to press the issue.
Because what Xia Chujian said did make sense.
And they had experimented later.
It proved that Remnant Species weren't invincible to conventional weapons. It just required the operator to not be mentally controlled by the Remnant Species, and to have a continuous barrage of sufficiently powerful conventional thermal weapons to achieve a qualitative change from a quantitative one.
Xia Chujian probably just stumbled upon it by sheer luck.
Kang Shanxing stopped dwelling on this question and moved on to the issue they were most concerned about.
"Xia Chujian, can you tell us specifically how you carried out the mission to eliminate the human traffickers that day? Tell us everything from beginning to end."
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and began to narrate from the beginning.
She spoke slowly, and Kang Shanxing's questions came one after another.
When she mentioned seeing the human trafficker about to assault a victim through the sniper scope, Kang Shanxing immediately asked sharply, "Which human trafficker, at what angle, and which victim did he lay his hands on?"
As he asked, Kang Shanxing brought up a three-dimensional holographic projection.
It was the house from that day.
Inside were scattered wine bottles, drunken human traffickers, and abducted victims lying lifeless on the ground.
It was very similar to what Xia Chujian had seen through the sniper scope that day.
Perhaps the only difference was that these abducted victims were all in a state of death, with twisted limbs and bloodied faces.
But what she had seen that day were victims in a state of unconsciousness, with relaxed limbs and no blood on their faces.
Xia Chujian watched with great interest, saying, "How did you guys do this? The scene is recreated so realistically..."
Kang Shanxing couldn't help but twitch his eyes, trying to maintain a polite demeanor as he said, "This is a scene recreated using the data from that time."
Xia Chujian nodded, "I understand. The radar on our Association's Flying Vehicle can also do a visual recreation of the surrounding scene."
Kang Shanxing: ...
Is this girl's brain really that capable?
Under the pressure of his powerful Mental Strength, she could still think freely, even drawing inferences?
Kang Shanxing glanced at her again, just as he was about to increase the pressure of his Mental Strength further.
At this moment, Huo Yushen's voice came through his earpiece: "Withdraw your Mental Strength. Just ask questions directly."
Kang Shanxing assumed that his Mental Strength pressure was too great, and that the little girl opposite him was an ordinary person without Gene Evolution, possessing no Mental Strength at all. Marshal Huo probably feared that he would break her down and make it difficult to explain, so he immediately obeyed the order and withdrew all his Mental Strength.
Xia Chujian didn't feel anything, but Kang Shanxing felt a subtle sense of relief.
The state of operating his Mental Strength beyond its capacity was unsustainable for him as well.
Now, looking at his and Xia Chujian's appearances, Kang Shanxing vaguely felt as if Xia Chujian was the interrogator, and he was the one being interrogated.
He didn't know why he had this association, perhaps it was because Xia Chujian's state was too relaxed.
Kang Shanxing pulled his thoughts back and continued questioning, "Then take a closer look. Which human trafficker, at what angle, laid his hands on whom first?"
Xia Chujian walked back and forth in the three-dimensional holographic projection scene, looking up at the position of the window in the holographic image, while estimating the position and angle in her sniper scope at the time.
Finally, she stood not far from the window and said, "Here. That human trafficker walked over from there and attacked the victim lying here."
She pointed to an open space, "Right here. There was a victim here, a little girl. That human trafficker walked over, unbuckled his belt, whipped the little girl several times with it, and tore her clothes."
"I was very anxious at the time, so I disregarded the captain's orders and shot directly... Oh, no, I asked the captain for instructions before shooting. The captain agreed."
She casually patched things up, but still stated the basic facts.
Kang Shanxing frowned, looking at the open space, and said, "But there's no one here."
Xia Chujian nodded, "Yes, the missing person. Didn't you know? There should have been twenty-four abducted victims. When we arrived, there were twenty-four people in that house. But later, I heard that when the Regular Army came, there were only twenty-three people."
Kang Shanxing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you sure? The missing person, is that the one you shot to save?"
"Judging from the placement of these bodies, it's the missing person," Xia Chujian said with certainty, "And I remember what that person was wearing. There's no one in this house with the same style of clothing."
Kang Shanxing then asked Xia Chujian a few more questions from different angles. Xia Chujian's answers were all logical, confirming that what she had said was true.
"Alright, you can go," Kang Shanxing ended the questioning, turned off the three-dimensional holographic projection video, and gestured for Xia Chujian to leave.
Xia Chujian looked at the time, it was already seven forty.
If she didn't leave now, she would be late for her first class today.
But just as she was about to go out, a man in a dark blue military uniform stood at the door of the conference room.
This man was not only tall, but also had a particularly cold-blooded and terrifying aura.
Xia Chujian looked up, only to see the man's perfect jawline, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, alarm bells ringing in her mind.
This was the man who shot the moon with a silver bow! She took a step back warily, her fingers curled up, clutching her electronic lunch box tightly.
Huo Yushen remained expressionless and took a step forward.
He didn't say a word, but as soon as he came in, the conference room door closed automatically.
Xia Chujian: ...
How cunning.
If she hadn't taken a step back, the door wouldn't have closed at all! If this man wasn't blocking the way, she should already be on the hover train back to school.
Xia Chujian lowered her eyes, looking at the one-foot square space in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Please move aside, I have to go, I'll be late for class."
Huo Yushen had originally wanted to ask her a few more questions.
But when Xia Chujian said that, he looked at the Quantum Optical Brain watch on his wrist, and actually nodded, saying, "I'll take you."
He didn't continue questioning, but turned and left.
As soon as he reached the door, the conference room door slid open to both sides automatically.
Xia Chujian hurriedly followed behind him.
After leaving the conference room, Huo Yushen strode to the left, but Xia Chujian decisively went to the right.
She remembered that she had come in this direction.
Huo Yushen took two steps before realizing that Xia Chujian was not following him.
He turned around and said coldly, "I'll take you, we can be at school in five minutes."
Xia Chujian paused, not turning her head, and said, "No need, I'll take the hover train myself, it doesn't matter if I'm late."
Huo Yushen didn't waste any more words, and snapped his fingers.
Two cylindrical robots slid out from the other side of the corridor, extended their mechanical arms, clamped Xia Chujian's arms on either side, lifted her up, and then the two robots slid across the ground, exchanging positions, and also changing direction.
Xia Chujian immediately changed from facing away from Huo Yushen to facing him.
Huo Yushen turned around expressionlessly, and they slid along behind Huo Yushen, carrying Xia Chujian like that.
Xia Chujian: ...
How hateful!
This man is indeed too cunning!
She didn't even have hands to release her Shao Siming Mecha!
Xia Chujian kept a straight face, being "carried" by the two robots, gliding in the air, and was sent into Huo Yushen's exclusive Flying Vehicle.
This Flying Vehicle had simple and smooth lines, and its appearance looked like a scaled-down Bat-style Fighter Jet.
After Xia Chujian went in, the hatch closed tightly.
Huo Yushen had already set the autopilot destination, and said to Xia Chujian indifferently, "Sit down."
Xia Chujian had already reached this point, and had no choice but to sit down.
This Flying Vehicle is too short.
If she didn't sit down, she would have to stand there half-bent all the time, which would be too much strain on her back.
Xia Chujian sat in the co-pilot seat.
Huo Yushen didn't even look at her. After the Flying Vehicle took off, he said with unusual indifference, "That person's Mental Strength didn't affect you at all. —Are you immune to Mental Strength attacks?"
Xia Chujian frowned: "What do you mean by immune to Mental Strength attacks? Who are you? Are you also from the Special Security Bureau?"
Huo Yushen: "…I am Huo Yushen from the Special Security Bureau."
Xia Chujian: "…"
Is this name famous?
She hasn't heard of it.
Xia Chujian politely asked, "What do you do at the Special Security Bureau?"
She wanted to confirm this person's identity and position so she could adjust her response.
Huo Yushen: "…"
Very good, in this world, someone finally dared to not be afraid of his cold face and baleful aura, and dared to chat with him casually.
He glanced at her without showing any emotion, and replied, "…No specific job."
Xia Chujian subconsciously didn't believe Huo Yushen's words.
In her opinion, this person's aura was too powerful.
Even Kang Shanxing, who had asked her questions earlier, was the Director of the Intelligence Division of the Special Security Bureau headquarters. How could this person be worse than that refined man?
Xia Chujian shook her head and said indifferently, "You don't have to say it if you don't want to. There's no need to lie to people."
Huo Yushen thought to himself, someone actually took his truth for a lie.
He didn't care, and said lightly, "The truth or a lie doesn't matter. What matters is, do you know yourself, that you are immune to Mental Strength attacks?"
Xia Chujian really didn't know.
But she didn't want to talk about this issue.
She didn't even know who the other party was, so why should she be completely honest?
Huo Yushen waited for a while, but Xia Chujian still didn't speak.
He glanced at her, and the girl's face was full of the final stubbornness of "Don't even think about tricking me."
Huo Yushen looked at the scenery outside the Flying Vehicle, slowly took out a document from his pocket, handed it over, and said in a low, slow voice with extremely seductive magnetism, "This is my identification."
Xia Chujian glanced at it and found that it was the same as the document Zong Ruoan had shown her.
However, on this person's document, after Huo Yushen's name, was the military rank of "Marshal", which was higher than Zong Ruoan's Colonel rank, with the "General" rank in between.
And the position below was Inspector.
He looked like a big shot.
Xia Chujian shifted uncomfortably in her seat and became honest.
Huo Yushen took back his document, his aura even colder: "…Answer my question."
Xia Chujian said, "It's not that I don't want to answer your question, it's that I don't know how to answer."
"Explain in detail, what do you mean by not knowing how to answer?"
"It's really difficult, like asking a bug that lives in the summer what winter ice feels like. The bug wouldn't know, because it hasn't lived through winter, so how would it know what ice is?"
Huo Yushen was very surprised, turned his head and took a deep look at her, then withdrew his gaze: "Answer what we ask you, don't use metaphors, allegories, or other rhetorical devices, to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."
Xia Chujian's reaction was to purse her lips and refuse to speak anymore.
Huo Yushen didn't continue to press her.
His Flying Vehicle was very fast.
The silence between the two didn't last three minutes before Xia Chujian's school arrived.
He chose a deserted place to land, then deactivated the stealth mode.
At this moment, Huo Yushen suddenly said, "Based on what you just said, you should have seen the missing victim."
Xia Chujian was just jumping down from the Flying Vehicle when she was startled. Caught off guard, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She turned her head sharply, only to see Huo Yushen staring at her, his expression cold and stern, as if merely stating an obvious fact.
His attitude was very indifferent: "You go to class first. After class, my people will pick you up to do mechanical intelligent drawing."
This was to draw the appearance of the missing victim she had seen.
Xia Chujian snorted, turned abruptly, and ran into the school without looking back.
Huo Yushen activated the stealth system again and quickly ascended back.
At this time, in the Mulan City branch of the Special Security Bureau, Kang Shanxing was already questioning other members of Xia Chujian's team.
...
Huo Yushen returned to the branch's headquarters, sat in his office, and watched Kang Shanxing's questioning of Ye Shijie through the three-dimensional holographic monitoring system.
This time, Kang Shanxing only used a small portion of his Mental Strength to easily suppress Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie felt as if he was imprisoned in his seat, unable to move at all.
His brain felt as if it was being directly strangled from the inside, with information being squeezed out bit by bit.
He himself had no idea what he was saying.
But he completely revealed everything about encountering the Remnant Species that day.
"No... the abducted victims were all alive at the time... not dead... I checked them one by one in the house..."
"Later, the Regular Army came... it's the Association's rule... not to compete with the Regular Army for missions..."
"So we left... we were still worried about not getting the Association reward... because we didn't take the abducted victims away..."
He spoke with great difficulty, his facial expressions twisted severely, as if fighting against his own consciousness.
The second update is at 1 p.m. Enjoy reading, my dearies!
