Chapter 143 True or False
The three of them walked for about half an hour, and an abandoned building gradually appeared in front of them.

The building's exterior walls were peeling off and its windows were broken. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Zong Fang stopped and turned to look at Qiao Suisui and Karl.

"We're here," he whispered, "This used to be an inn in the village of Dardligne. I found some documents and materials here before. Although most of them have been damaged by moisture, there may still be some useful things left."

Qiao Susu stepped into the inn, which was filled with dust and damp smells. There were some blurry maps and faded photos hanging on the walls, and some documents scattered on the table, which clearly showed traces of life long ago.

Qiao Suisui looked around, and Karl stared out the door through the window to make sure no one was following.

"There is a log here, which looks like the notes of an experimenter." Zong Fang's voice attracted Qiao Suisui and Carl. They saw that there was indeed a record about 'enhancing the mental power of orcs'.

Qiao Suisui pondered, "There are also experimental files in the underground laboratory. If I'm not mistaken, the Federation wants to research a potion that can make orcs without thoughts and consciousness, and maximize their mental strength and talents."

Hearing this, Zong Fang did not react. Karl took a breath and shook his head, sighing: "What a fucking pervert."

"There are even more perverted ones." Qiao Suisui flipped through the handwriting and pointed out a few pages to them, saying, "This page, this page, and these pages, what did you find?"

Carl read as he read: "'How much is this?', 'Please pass the things to me.', 'The last matter has been settled.' Nothing special, just some daily words."

Qiao Suisui asked: "Do we need to write down our daily conversations on paper?"

Carl was stunned, then went back to carefully read the entire notebook and found that many of the most ordinary words were presented in written form. There were even several pages with answers in different handwritings, from different people, all communicating about the same thing.

"This person can't speak?"

Qiao Suisui said in a deep voice, "Perhaps they can't speak. If this cruel experiment was really initiated by the Federation, then the confidentiality level must be very high, and the ordinary confidentiality agreement can no longer meet the confidentiality level of such explosive inside information, so...perhaps every staff member in the underground experimental base can't speak."

Karl suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard when he was in the Federation, that there was a department that had disappeared for a long time, and everyone there had their tongues pulled out. He thought it was outrageous at the time and didn't take it seriously at all, but now thinking back, it's terrifying.

Zongfang, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Look at the last page of this handwriting."

Qiao Sui Sui picked it up and turned to the page where some daily work was recorded. Her eyes stopped at an unfinished sentence in the notebook. The sentence stopped abruptly. It was obvious that the owner of the notebook suddenly left to do something else. She read it back and forth three or four times, but found nothing more.

"What happened to this page?" she asked.

Munakata said, “Time.”

Qiao Suisui immediately looked at the time recorded at the top, and heard Zongfang's emotionless voice: "This day is the day when Dadlinie was bombed."

Hearing this, Qiao Suisui looked at him suddenly, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. She and Karl exchanged glances, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

Carl was from the Federation, and even he didn't know the time when Dudleyne was bombed. There was no change on the faces of the two men, and they listened to Zongfang continue: "Although this notebook is not particularly important, the Federation has regulations that paper documents related to work content cannot be disposed of at will, so if this experimenter is alive, he will definitely come back to take the notebook. But this notebook is left here, which means that after this day, no one will survive here. As long as we find a way to find out what happened on this day, everything will be revealed."

Qiao Sui Sui actually knew what happened on that day. According to the Archbishop, they were sent to Dardelene on that day, and then the Federation's warships bombed the place, setting them and the local residents in a sea of ​​fire. But she never mentioned it to anyone, not even to Carl. Except for Sang Yan, the people who knew about it were either the rebels or the Federation. Why did Zong Fang know this day so clearly, and he was trying to guide something.

She asked calmly: "So what should we do next?"

Zongfang smiled at her gently and said, "We can go to the crime scene and see if we can find something."

Karl frowned and objected, "It's too dangerous there, Sui Sui, don't go."

This scene turned Qiao Susu's doubts into an almost certain belief - the Zongfang in front of her was different from the Zongfang in her memory who always put her safety first.

She calmed her heart, which was beating wildly due to nervousness, and tried to make her expression as natural as possible.

"As you say, when do we leave?"

Zong Fang gave the two of them a brief deployment. During the period, Carl wanted to object but Qiao Susu secretly pinched his palm. Carl's back paused, so he stopped talking and began to carefully observe Zong Fang's every move.

The three searched the dead bone prison for several days, but found nothing except the corpse. On this day, Zong Fang's arm was accidentally scratched. When Qiao Suisui saw it, she stood there in shock, then quickly lowered her head and pretended to take medicine from the medicine box to cover up her expression.

While applying medicine to Zong Fang, she casually mentioned: "After reading what I asked Karl to give you last time, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zongfang lowered his eyes and was silent for a second or two, then he smiled and took her hand, saying softly: "Of course, but I want to tell you after we go out together."

Qiao Sui Sui pretended to be shy and broke free from his hand, saying, "I spent a long time writing that letter, deleting and revising it, but it was all what I wanted to say to you."

Zong Fang stroked her cheek and said softly, "I know, Qiao Qiao, I have received your kindness." After that, he hugged her as if they were in love.

"I'm glad you got it." Qiao Susu responded, her fingertips trembling.

After she bandaged Zongfang, she made an excuse to leave. When she turned around, her shy smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cold sharpness.

She never wrote to Munakata.

She had returned his talent to him a long time ago, but the wounds of this Munakata in front of him did not heal on their own.

In the next few days, Qiao Susu and Karl developed a tacit understanding. On the one hand, they needed to remain alert to Zong Fang, but on the surface pretended that they noticed nothing, as usual; on the other hand, they secretly observed to see what the purpose of this "fake Zong Fang" was.
