Chapter 74 Black Shield

"Is this Black Shield?"

Looking out the window at the desolate surroundings, resembling a military camp with its high walls and courtyards, Xia Xue turned to Xia Jue, who was driving, and confirmed it.

Xia Jue laughed smugly and said, "Not only this military camp, but the forest behind it is also ours. How about that? Isn't that amazing?"

Xia Xue nodded.

"Although it's in the suburbs, it's really impressive that it can occupy such a large area."

Xia Jue smiled mysteriously and said, "It's just that the place is big; that's not so impressive. The real power lies inside."

Xia Jue passed the inspection smoothly, drove the car into the parking lot, and gestured with her eyes.

Xia Xue followed Xia Jue's gaze and looked over.

"Machine guns? You're so wealthy that you're using machine guns for defense?"

It's not just a matter of having the right to use machine guns, but also that there are enough machine guns and ammunition supply is not a problem at all, which is why they are so extravagant as to directly use machine guns to build a defensive network.

"City guards, no objections?"

Xia Xue asked curiously.

Xia Jue smiled even more smugly.

"The city guards naturally have objections, but since our duties are more important, they have to keep their opinions to themselves, haha."

Xia Xue gave a thumbs up.

Xia Jue glanced around and said to Xia Xue, "Are you planning to start the onboarding process first, or take a look around first?"

Xia Xue replied without hesitation, "I want to shoot a gun."

Xia Jue laughed and said, "You like shooting? That's easy. We have everything here, except guns. We have all kinds. Come on, let's go to the shooting range now and you can shoot to your heart's content, haha."

……

"Chu Mian, what are you doing here?"

Upon entering the shooting range, Xia Jue saw Chu Mian wearing earplugs and firing a gun, and walked up to her in surprise, asking her a question.

"Don't you hate shooting the most?"

Sensing the change in light, Chu Mian turned her head, her gaze passing directly past Xia Jue, who was affecting the light, and looked at Xia Xue behind her. Smiling, she put down her gun and cheerfully greeted, "Xiao Xue, you're here."

Xia Jue was ignored, but he wasn't annoyed.

Her relationship with Chu Mian was even better than Jiang Wei's.

Xia Jue looked at Chu Mian with a questioning gaze, then turned back to look at Xia Xue.

"When did you two become so close? I didn't know!"

Xia Xue greeted Chu Mian politely.

"Dr. Chu."

Chu Mian took off her earplugs and said with a familiar smile, "Calling me doctor is too formal. Call me sister. Your older sister and I are best friends who grew up together."

Thinking of how to address Jiang Wei, Xia Xue repeated the name.

"Sister Mian."

Chu Mian nodded in satisfaction.

"Ah, that's more like it."

Xia Jue stared in disbelief at Chu Mian, who was being overly enthusiastic.

Is this still the Chu Mian she knows, who is aloof and doesn't like to interact with strangers?

When did she become so enthusiastic?

Could I have been possessed?

Xia Jue hesitated before stepping forward: "Chu Mian, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Mian pushed her aside and quickly walked to Xia Xue's side.

"Xiaoxue, come practice your shooting! It's rare to see a girl who likes guns."

Xia Xue blinked, glanced at Chu Mian, and then at Xia Jue.

Chu Mian immediately understood what Xia Xue meant.

"Xia Jue is an exception. As for me, it's because I guessed you would come to the shooting range as soon as you arrived, so I came here early this morning specifically to wait for you."

So straightforward?

Xia Xue glanced at Chu Mian in surprise.

It makes me feel embarrassed if I don't read your heart.

Su Hui?

Chu Mian's imagination is truly boundless.

Xia Xue shook her head and chuckled.

Previous personality awakenings had some scientific basis, but this awakening of innate wisdom is entirely in the realm of metaphysics, isn't it?

As a psychologist, is it really okay for you to make such a diagnosis?

Although metaphysics does exist in this world, it still feels very strange.

"You guessed it?"

Chu Mian had indeed guessed what Chu Mian had guessed based on his mind-reading ability.

"Chu Mian's psychology is really impressive. Just based on my information, she was able to determine my personality and then predict the first place I would come to when I arrived at Black Shield."

He truly deserves to be called a master of psychology.

Xia Jue stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching Xia Xue and Chu Mian interact.

The more I look at it, the more suspicious it seems.

He simply pulled Chu Mian aside.

"Xiaoxue, you play by yourself for now. Chu Mian and I have something to talk about."

There were people watching over the shooting range, so there was no worry that Xia Xue would do anything out of line.

Xia Xue nodded, walked to where Chu Mian had been, picked up the gun on the table, recalled the shooting actions in movies, TV shows, news reports, and documentaries she had seen, assumed a gun-holding posture, and then constantly adjusted her movements based on her feel for the gun.

Xia Jue dragged Chu Mian to the gate of the shooting range, stared intently at her, and asked in a serious tone, "Chu Mian, something's wrong with you. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Chu Mian glanced back at Xia Xue reluctantly before turning back to explain, "Uncle Xia asked me to treat Xiao Xue. After my diagnosis, I thought the problem wasn't serious and just needed to be observed. Recently, I discovered that my previous diagnosis seemed to have some oversights, so I'm re-observing her."

Xia Jue's brows furrowed deeper as she listened: "Xiao Xue is perfectly fine, so why would she come to you for treatment?"

Chu Mian looked at Xia Jue speechlessly.

"You're usually such a shrewd and capable person, how come you act like you've lost your mind when you're with your sister? You've seen Xiaoxue's previous information, haven't you? Did she know medicine before? Martial arts? Mystic arts? Did she suddenly learn them three months ago?"

Xia Jue immediately and clearly refuted, "Three months ago, Xiaoxue only underwent a drastic change in temperament, but she did not demonstrate any medical skills, martial arts, or mystical arts. Your statement is very inaccurate."

Chu Mian, however, was very certain: "Her change is too thorough. If she really had this kind of strength before, she would never have looked like that."

Chu Mian stuck to her point of view.

Xia Jue frowned and stared at Chu Mian, asking, "What is your diagnosis?"

Chu Mian recounted the previous diagnosis.

"Personality awakening? Self-taught?"

That seems plausible.

"So what is your current diagnosis?"

Chu Mian took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly said, "I suspect that she has awakened her innate wisdom?"

Xia Jue blinked, then blinked again.

"What did you say? Awakening innate wisdom? Is that the kind of innate wisdom I understand?"

Chu Mian nodded affirmatively.

"That's right, it's Su Hui who awakened her past life memories."

Xia Jue frowned, pacing in circles for a long time before finally stopping and saying, "Your argument is too far-fetched, isn't it? You suspect Xiaoxue has memories of a past life, but what evidence do you have? You can't just make it all up, can you?"

Chu Mian naturally had her own set of theories.

"Awakening innate wisdom within the Xuanmen (Taoist school) is not an isolated case."

Chu Mian's words caused Xia Jue's expression to change.

There are actually real cases like this?
