Kang Shanxing glanced at the time and smiled faintly, "Let her in."
Xia Chujian was led by the female staff member to a conference room.
The layout of this conference room was very simple. There wasn't even a conference table, just two seats facing each other, one high-backed and one low-backed.
Xia Chujian went in and saw a tall, upright man standing in the center of the room.
He was wearing a black uniform with silver trim, his features were refined, and he looked like an intellectual, but the military uniform brought out a hint of hidden killing intent.
Xia Chujian was slightly stunned.
She had seen this person before.
This person reminded her of that night, the man who held a silver longbow and shot a golden arrow.
At that time, there were two people standing behind that man, and one of them was the person standing in front of her.
She had seen him through the scope of her sniper rifle.
Kang Shanxing stood in the center of the room with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Xia Chujian came in, he was also observing her.
Although this little girl was not very old, she was quite tall.
Her expression was calm, and her eyes were clear and frank, like a clear stream, seemingly able to see to the bottom at a glance.
Kang Shanxing showed a kind smile and said, "Are you Xia Chujian?"
"Yes, are you going to do a biological signal detection?"
"No, we believe you."
Xia Chujian just wanted to curl her lip.
The Special Security Bureau must have a device for scanning biological signals.
She should have been scanned as soon as she stepped through the door.
Otherwise, would just anyone be able to swagger into the Special Security Bureau? Saying they believe her was just pretending to be generous.
But Xia Chujian only dared to slander in her heart, nodding on the surface to show she understood.
Kang Shanxing then said, "You're late."
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows and repeated what she had said to the receptionist, "I'm not a staff member here. I didn't promise to be here by seven o'clock."
Kang Shanxing: "..."
He narrowed his eyes.
He was in charge of the Intelligence Division at the Special Security Bureau headquarters.
Over the years, Xia Chujian was the only one who dared to say to the Special Security Bureau's investigators with such confidence: "...I didn't promise to be here by seven o'clock."
To be honest, Kang Shanxing couldn't think of anything to refute Xia Chujian.
He had to sit down in the high-backed chair and then gestured, "Sit."
Xia Chujian followed suit and sat down in the low-backed chair.
Kang Shanxing began to introduce himself, "I am Kang Shanxing, the Director of the Intelligence Division at the Special Security Bureau headquarters. I've asked you here today because I want to ask you some questions. Don't be nervous."
Xia Chujian sat upright, holding her electronic lunch box in both hands, and said calmly, "I'm not nervous. Ask away."
Kang Shanxing looked at her with a smile. Silently, a vast Mental Strength erupted and swept towards Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian didn't feel anything, just frowned, feeling that the other person's eyes were a little straight and their smile was a bit unnatural.
Kang Shanxing's Mental Strength level had long surpassed Rank A and was extremely oppressive.
As long as the other party's Mental Strength level was not as high as his, under his Mental Strength suppression, the other party would briefly lose the ability to think for themselves and unconsciously speak the deepest secrets in their hearts.
The level of Mental Strength required to achieve this effect was also very high. With Kang Shanxing's Mental Strength level above Rank A, he could only use it once for a period of time.
Using it on Xia Chujian at this moment was because their main target for questioning this team today was Xia Chujian.
A minute later, Kang Shanxing felt that the mental pressure was almost enough, and suddenly asked Xia Chujian, "Why were you late today?"
Xia Chujian calmly replied, "I said, I'm not an employee here, and I didn't agree to your schedule, so I'm not late."
Kang Shanxing: "..."
This wasn't the answer he expected, but it wasn't entirely unexpected either.
He nodded, the warm-up was over, and he was about to begin the formal questioning.
Kang Shanxing said, "Look up, look into my eyes."
Xia Chujian originally didn't want to look up, but then she felt that she couldn't embarrass him again and again.
She had already refuted one of his questions, so there was nothing wrong with listening to him now.
So she looked up and looked into Kang Shanxing's eyes.
Looking at them closely like this, she found that his eyes were quite beautiful.
His eyes weren't big, but their contours were clear, with distinct black and white. They seemed to hold a thousand words, but they were all hidden in his heart, unwilling to be spoken.
Kang Shanxing asked her according to the established procedure, "...Now tell me, what do you see?"
Xia Chujian told the truth, "Your eyes are quite beautiful."
In another room, Huo Yushen and Meng Guanghui were watching the questioning together.
Hearing Xia Chujian say this, Meng Guanghui burst out laughing.
Kang Shanxing: "..."
He was concentrating his Mental Strength so well, but Xia Chujian's interruption almost threw him off.
He almost lost his breath.
Kang Shanxing hurriedly mobilized more Mental Strength to keep himself from giving up halfway.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still maintained his refined demeanor and continued to ask, "What is your Mental Strength level?"
"...I don't have Mental Strength."
"Your Gene Evolution level?"
"My genes can't evolve."
"Then how did you kill the Remnant Species? Especially the kind that requires at least a Rank B peak Mental Strength expert to eliminate?"
Hearing this, Xia Chujian realized that he was asking about the mission to kill the human trafficker.
She thought for a moment and said, "It's been more than ten days since that happened. I only remember that at the time, that Remnant Species was trying to harm my teammate and rushed out to kill me, so I had to fight back. I was extremely scared at the time, so I panicked and used almost all the ammunition in the Flying Vehicle's inventory to barely kill the Remnant Species."
"Used up all the ammunition in the inventory?"
"Yes, I fired a hundred thousand bullets."
Kang Shanxing thought that according to the shell casings and bullet mark remains at the scene, they had indeed estimated that it was around a hundred thousand rounds.
So it matched.
Kang Shanxing asked again, "According to past experience, Remnant Species cannot be destroyed by thermal weapons. Why were you able to do this? Is there a secret?"
Xia Chujian asked in confusion, "Past experience? Why do you say that? Are you saying that the Remnant Species I killed weren't killed by thermal weapons?"
Kang Shanxing: ....
Unable to refute.
Xia Chujian continued, "This is the first time I've encountered a Remnant Species. I'm an ordinary person, I don't have Mental Strength, and the only thing I can use is my weapon. Colonel Kang, asking me this way makes me feel like you're questioning my Gunmanship."
Kang Shanxing frowned.
This girl could still ask back continuously under his powerful Mental Strength pressure? It seemed that although this person didn't have Mental Strength, her self-control shouldn't be underestimated.
Kang Shanxing gritted his teeth and increased his Mental Strength pressure on Xia Chujian.
His fair face gradually turned red, his eyes were also red, and his voice even carried a bit of seductive Mental Strength.
"Before you, humans have encountered Remnant Species attacks three times. Each time, thermal weapons were unable to exert their intended effect. In the end, all the Remnant Species were eliminated by Mental Strength experts with overwhelming attacks. And this time you encountered, it was at least a Rank B Remnant Species."
The second update is here, see you tomorrow.
