"Actually, Commander Wu doesn't quite understand that having the ability to read minds may not necessarily be a good thing." Takahashi Ayaka said as she gently stirred the coffee in front of her with a spoon.
"?" Wu Jie made a questioning gesture.
"Just now, I told Commander Wu that our mind-reading ability is no longer a secret."
Wu Jie nodded and motioned for her to continue.
"Because of this, we have been targeted by several forces. Although we are the daughters of the senator and have a certain status and position, others dare not touch us easily."
"But time is constantly moving forward, and nothing in the world remains static. If one day we lose our current identity and status, what will become of us?"
Wu Jie was speechless. After hearing this, he could basically guess something. He was well aware of the darkness of human nature. Once Takahashi Caixing, who possessed such superpowers, lost her protective color, she would definitely become the focus of all forces.
Caixing can't use mind reading all the time, for example, when they are sleeping or sick, no one can guarantee that they will be fine.
Caixiang brushed her hair and continued, "That's why we want to find a reliable husband, someone who is clean and flawless and has no strange thoughts towards us. Only in this way can we be protected in the future."
Hearing this, Wu Jie suddenly felt something was wrong. How was this related to anything? Husband? Qiaodou Madai, you two should talk to me separately...
Seeing Wu Jie's astonished expression, Takahashi Caixing beside him laughed out loud. Her laughter was very crisp and sweet. She covered her mouth lightly, which made her smile even more charming.
"But, we've been searching for a long time, and we've either found ambitious individuals who want to exploit our abilities, or perverts who are attracted by our looks. Or, perhaps, hypocrites who were truly pure at first, but later, after learning of our abilities, wanted to use them for their own benefit."
"Time and again, we tried countless methods, but we could never find someone who satisfied us. As a result, we gradually understood what human nature is, and became completely aware of its dark side."
After hearing this, Wu Jie seemed to understand. It seems that having the ability to read minds may not be a good thing. Being able to check other people's mental state at all times is convenient, but it will also make you lose more.
"Why don't you try to rely on yourself? With such powerful abilities and your background, if you continue to move up the ranks, no one will be able to do anything to you." Wu Jie proposed a solution.
Indeed, in Wu Jie's opinion, the two sisters are capable enough to be self-sufficient.
There is no need to depend on others. There is nothing wrong with being a strong woman. You don't have to worry about the dark side of human nature, and you have enough ability to protect yourself.
After hearing Wu Jie's words, the two sisters looked at each other and seemed to be more determined.
"It's exactly as Commander Wu said. With our sisters' abilities, we can be strong women and keep climbing higher. We can protect ourselves and don't have to rely on anyone. But, Commander Wu, have you ever thought about one thing?"
Wu Jie was stunned, not knowing what she wanted to say.
Seeing that Wu Jie really didn't expect this, Cai Xiang's eyes darkened and she said, "I've already told Commander Wu that our secret is already an open secret. The forces hostile to us have secretly sent people to spread rumors everywhere in order to prevent us from growing stronger."
"Wherever we go, whether we want to start our own company, enter the government, or join someone else's company, there will always be people who accuse us of being witches, saying we are not human, and using all kinds of means to stop our development."
"Up to this point, we've tried dozens of methods and planned countless schemes. Even with our ability to read minds, none of them have succeeded. This is the power of the dark side of human nature. Commander Wu, do you understand the weight of my words?"
Wu Jie was stunned. He never thought that the dark side of human nature could be magnified to such an extent, just because these two sisters could read minds.
There are so many forces jumping out to hinder their development, and there are so many hands that want to plot against them.
As long as we are on Earth and in human society, it is extremely difficult to avoid this situation.
"So, we sisters came up with a solution: joining the army. Only in this way can we temporarily avoid obstruction from the outside world. Although those forces are powerful, the army is a sacred place, and it won't be easy for them to get involved."
"This time, we came here to participate in the International Dancer Military Exercise Competition. It was also a vacation that we discussed with my father. We have no interest in winning the championship. We just want to come here to avoid the limelight because those forces are secretly trying to make a move on us again."
Wu Jie remained silent and said nothing.
He didn't know why Ayaka Takahashi told him so much information. Wasn't she afraid that he was also a member of the dark forces and that I might take action against her?
Is it trust or stupidity?
Just based on mind reading, can you be so sure that you are a good person?
Moreover, people will change. Having the ability to read minds is a good thing, but it does not mean that reading minds can change a person's personality.
Seeing Wu Jie remained silent, Cai Xiang continued, "So, Commander Wu, please rest assured. Aside from dynamic vision, we will absolutely not use mind-reading techniques on you. We will face you squarely on the field."
Then again, could a mutant like Takahashi Caixing be an isolated case? Wu Jie thought of a question: if it wasn't an isolated case, then wouldn't it be possible that many mutants like Caixing have quietly appeared in the world?
This matter seems to be quite important. When I have time, I will go back to the base and ask Chief Su for advice. Maybe she knows something. After all, she is one of the core researchers of the Qiyuan Project.
"Then what does your ultimate goal have to do with me?" Wu Jie asked the most important question.
Takahashi Ayaka said so much and laid so much groundwork before, she must have wanted to make me understand the situation of the two sisters and win my sympathy.
However, I don't have any identity, status, or background to be proud of, and I don't have the confidence to fight against those dark forces.
At least, not now, my ability is not strong enough.
If I forcibly accept the sisters' request, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for me.
Wu Jie has a sentimental side, but he is by no means a saint or gentleman. He will not be completely moved by the other party's words.
Before, the identities of the three Chiyuki sisters were not too special, so he was still able to protect them, but Takahashi Ayaka and Takahashi Ayanoshi were different.
Their abilities are too strong, and their secrets have almost been revealed. They are also the daughters of friendly senators from Country R. These layers of halo are the source of pressure for Wu Jie.
