Chapter 404: Chapter 353: She Must Be Squeezed Dry!
"Can it be like this?"
Zhang Su raised his eyebrows, looking with a peculiar expression at Ju Mumio sitting upright and said, "This kind of explanation feels so melodramatic, really?"
Since Ju Mumio let Yi Xiaoling speak, she certainly wouldn’t deny it, nodding her head before continuing with a lengthy explanation.
"Xiaojuzi said... since everyone is now partners, she won’t hide it from you, she practiced related Magic that can sense the special aura on a person, hostility, killing intent, goodwill, hmm, and even affection, all can release different types of aura, as long as not interfered with, if the distance is short, she can sense it."
Zhang Su could tell the other party wasn’t joking, it seemed genuine. His first reaction was whether the other party might have also encountered something special like him, or similar to Chen Hanzhou, a unique experience bestowed special abilities, but upon second thought, it was quite different!
"You said this is Magic you practiced in the past, which means it wasn’t gained after the outbreak of the disaster?"
Ju Mumio nodded, affirming Zhang Su’s question.
Zhang Su suddenly thought of the various types of Magic from ancient times in the Celestial Dynasty, all kinds of strange and peculiar types, if the other party truly belonged to an ancient clan spanning thousands of years, some unique Magic being passed down would be understandable.
Sensing others’ emotional attitudes towards oneself, a very useful Skill!
"Then when you saw the drone before, it couldn’t possibly sense our attitude towards you through radio signals, why did you dare come to find us? Weren’t you afraid we’d kidnap you? It’s quite dangerous being out there alone now, not to mention you’re a woman, one of our brothers was on a reconnaissance task outside before and was..."
"Yes, he was found by the accomplices of those three men who were taken down earlier, and they beat him almost half to death on spot, then tried to use him to negotiate ransom with us, if not for happenstance, our companion probably wouldn’t have survived!"
Zhang Su recalled Qi Xiaoshuai’s experience, feeling quite emotional, while there might be good people outside, there were far more bad ones!
Ju Mumio slightly curled her lips, confidently explaining.
Yi Xiaoling translated, "Xiaojuzi said that your drone showed no attack behavior, moreover, when she followed it from a distance and saw you, her first feeling was that you weren’t people who would trouble a woman, and getting closer confirmed you had no intent to harm her."
"This ability is impressive, so for instance, um... if someone is secretly watching you, wanting to assassinate you, can you feel it?"
Zhang Su grew interested, this ability differed from Mind Reading Technique, more like an emotion radar, with many clever applications, two words: wanna learn!
Ju Mumio shrugged her shoulders, speaking of her encounter in Qing County, it was precisely because she sensed eyes watching from the shadows, and since it had been a long time since she felt that, her sensitivity led her to quickly lock onto the few who were spying in secret.
"Then is there a way to teach this ability to others?"
Zhang Su was a bit stunned, wasn’t this some ability found only in anime? He was no longer questioning its authenticity, but hoping he could learn this Skill.
Currently, his vision was outstanding, his hearing extraordinarily acute, but in perception he had no particular expertise; if he could also learn Ju Mumio’s Magic, dealing with others in the future, whether they were friends or foes, whether they harbored harmful intentions, all would be clear, wouldn’t it be invincible?
However, Ju Mumio’s words left him feeling rather deflated.
"Xiaojuzi said that to practice the Secret Technique requires various conditions, first and foremost... you must take the Secret Medicine crafted by the Ju Clan from childhood, the formula only known by the clan leader."
"Then let me guess, you surely haven’t inherited the clan leader position yet, and don’t know the formula, right?" Zhang Su rubbed his hair.
Ju Mumio nodded earnestly, not as if joking.
According to her explanation, barring unforeseen accidents, in twenty or thirty years, when she’s in her fifties, she would naturally inherit the clan leader’s position, or if the current clan leader met with accidental death, she would assume the position earlier.
"Is there a possibility that actually it doesn’t need any Secret Medicine to practice, and creating the Secret Medicine is just to cultivate mystery, also serving as a refusal to outsiders?"
Zhang Su was still unwilling to give up, particularly wanting to have this ability.
To make Zhang Su completely abandon the idea, Ju Mumio was willing to teach Zhang Su the method of practice, taking out a flask from her bag, unscrewing it, she drank two gulps like an ordinary person drinking water... naturally.
Joy bloomed within Zhang Su’s heart, this Japanese woman’s thinking was indeed extraordinary, in order to prove others couldn’t do it, she planned to teach it once, meaning let the other party quit while they’re ahead right?
Pretty good, pretty good...
"Alright, then find a time to teach me, what if I’m a Martial Arts Genius and pick it up quickly? Right, put the perception ability aside for now, tell me about your Martial Arts, I really want to know to what extent your combat strength has reached."
Speaking of Martial Arts, Zhang Su immediately pictured Ju Mumio fighting Lu Yubo, their combat techniques existing in entirely different dimensions, an intuition of what it meant by a dimension reduction attack.
Honestly speaking, he felt that even if Ju Mumio wielded a bamboo stick, she could win against Lu Yubo, unless it was injury for injury, and the move had to be as dark and precise and fast as possible to have a fighting chance!
Ju Mumio didn’t immediately answer Zhang Su but rather contemplated seriously, finally providing some rather concrete responses.
However, after listening to Yi Xiaoling’s translation, Zhang Su’s skin twitched, as the other party actually said she wasn’t afraid of handguns, wasn’t this fooling around?
"Have you heard a saying, beyond seven paces a gun is fast, within seven paces, a gun is both fast and accurate, you say you’re not afraid of handguns, it’s really hard to believe, unless you can prove it!"
Ju Mumio’s eyes showed a trace of helplessness, seemingly thinking there was no point in proving anything. But upon reconsideration, the other party was indeed Yi Xiaoling’s lifesaver, and she would live here in the future, so she adjusted her mindset and replied.
"Xiaojuzi says if the distance is too far, she doesn’t feel confident, but if it’s truly within seven steps or relatively close, she can prove it by letting you use a gun while she’ll stick to cold weapons."
"Far doesn’t work but close does? Alright, let’s try now!"
Zhang Su didn’t expect the other party to agree so easily, and of course, he couldn’t miss the chance. He truly didn’t believe that fists could be faster than a gun within seven steps!
"Um... I think using a gun might be too dangerous?"
Yi Xiaoling watched Ju Mumio with some concern, but Ju Mumio returned a reassuring smile.
Zhang Su felt around his bag and found he hadn’t brought his handgun, so he said, "I’ll go get the gun first, and then follow me to the ravine over there; we usually train over there."
"Brother Su, where are you going?"
Zhang Su took the gun and was leading the two towards the ravine, when he saw Tan Huajun heading over with Mo Qianlan, carrying a basket of eggs from the chicken and duck pen. There were twenty or thirty eggs of various sizes, clearly meant to supplement their dinner.
"Hello, Uncle Zhang."
Mo Qianlan greeted him very politely and then smiled warmly at Ju Mumio and Yi Xiaoling. She knew them, but they didn’t know her yet.
"Hey, Old Tan, today I encountered something unusual that requires an experiment. I’m afraid of messing up, so your timing is perfect. Quickly give the eggs to Xiaolan and come with me."
Zhang Su was very happy to see Tan Huajun, making sure to understand how Ju Mumio managed to make fists faster than a gun. He even brought the bulletproof leather from Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan as a precaution to avoid accidentally injuring anyone. With Tan Huajun there, things were much safer.
"Seems interesting... Here, dear, be careful and don’t break them."
Tan Huajun handed the bamboo basket to Mo Qianlan with a silly grin, gave her a reminder, and followed Zhang Su and the others towards the ravine.
"Brother Su, what kind of experiment are we really going to conduct?"
As they reached the secluded ravine, Tan Huajun asked curiously, breathing into her hands and rubbing her chubby fingers.
"These two were introduced earlier. Her name is Ju Mumio, remember? She told me that within seven steps, fists are faster than guns. So, I called you to help verify this."
Zhang Su took out the USP he found in the Mercedes van and handed it to Tan Huajun.
"What?" Tan Huajun instinctively took the handgun, wearing a cotton hat to cover her hair, with her round face showing hints of comical surprise.
"Don’t be too amazed. Let me ask you - what do you think of Bozai’s fighting skills? Just in terms of close combat, we’re not talking firearms."
"In terms of close combat... Xiaolu is quite skilled."
Tan Huajun had walked alongside Zhang Su’s team, knowing Lu Yubo well, especially since Lu Yubo had been dating her daughter lately, so she paid even more attention. Though there might be areas to improve in other aspects, his combat prowess was consistently strong!
"Hehe, Bozai fought with her but couldn’t even touch a hair before getting taken down. I asked her about her combat abilities, and she said she could dodge bullets!"
"That’s impressive! Can I try it?"
Tan Huajun gained some interest.
Ju Mumio, who had been observing Tan Huajun, shifted her gaze to Zhang Su, speaking seriously.
"Xiaojuzi says she can sense a special aura emanating from this sister, and wants to know if she has any unique talents?"
Yi Xiaoling helped translate for Ju Mumio, but she was puzzled. This sister appeared friendly and approachable, so where did this special aura come from?
Compared to Yi Xiaoling’s surprise, Zhang Su was shocked, because Tan Huajun truly possessed extraordinary skills beyond normal people!
Ju Mumio’s perception ability was no longer just about detecting emotions; she could even sense people’s special abilities. Although she couldn’t delve into specifics, this was already enough to be considered fantastical!
"Sister Tan is our camp’s sharpshooter; the reason I called her is to prevent any accidents involving you! By the way, what does it feel like to sense a special aura?"
Ju Mumio thought for a moment, then shook her head, perhaps feeling that her language couldn’t accurately express it.
"Alright then, come on, let me see how you dodge bullets!"
Zhang Su found Ju Mumio increasingly mysterious, but regardless of how skilled she was, as long as he could grasp her abilities, he believed she could be used for his benefit. Not only did he want to use her, but he also wanted to extract her skills and learn them himself!
From their brief interaction, Ju Mumio’s mindset seemed simple, and she was quite reasonable. As long as he could leverage the relationship with Yi Xiaoling, Zhang Su felt it wouldn’t be difficult to handle Ju Mumio.
