Chapter 222 It’s not an illusion
Qiao Suisui was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and murmured, "Addiction? Karl?"

How can this be.

Carl is a male who can suppress his hunger instinct when he is on a mission. He can even control himself well every time he feels aroused by her and will never go any further without her consent. How can Carl, who has such self-control, be addicted to hallucinogens?
"Is there some misunderstanding here? Karl wouldn't be that kind of person."

Zong Fang and Sang Yan both fell silent.

After a while, Zong Fang gently squeezed her palm and said, "Do you want to go see him? I'll make the arrangements."

Qiao Suisui nodded heavily.

Three days later, Qiao Susu and others arrived at the Federation.

The Secretary General reported to Zong Yan the news that Zong Fang had entered the Federation. Zong Yan was surprised and somewhat relieved, thinking that he had finally figured it out. He was about to arrange for someone to pick him up when he heard the Secretary General say, "He came with the leader of the Freedom Alliance this time. Given the extremely tense relationship between the two sides, if we are too ostentatious, it would be somewhat sensitive. Besides..."

The Secretary General hesitated.

Zong Yan frowned: "Speak."

"There's a female with him."

Zong Yan was stunned and asked, "Are you sure it's a female? What's her identity?"

He knew his son well. If he could change his mind, he would have done so thirteen years ago. Why would he have waited for him until today?

The Secretary General was puzzled, "That's why we can't find out her identity. The Sky Eye can't detect her breath and genes. We can only see from the surveillance that she is a female. At this time, the three of them have entered the monitoring center."

Regulatory center.

Qiao Sui Sui took off the brooch on her chest, which was a hidden item in the points mall. She thought that since the identity of the ancient humans had been gradually forgotten by the beastmen, it would be better to withdraw from the public eye to avoid causing trouble. Moreover, there was an INF company supervisor in this world. The other party was in the dark while she was in the light, so it was not easy to be too conspicuous, so she kept a low profile all the way.

At this time, follow the warden all the way to the end of the corridor. The first room on the left is the room where Carl is imprisoned.

The conditions in each room are the same, and the layout and things are very simple, so you can see it all at a glance.

"Number 8747, someone is here to see you." The warden patted the iron door, but there was no movement from inside.

"Open it directly," ordered Zongfang.

".I'm afraid this is"

"Open it. I'll take responsibility for the consequences."

"Yes."

The warden scanned his irises and the iron door opened.

Qiao Susu held her breath and looked inside. She saw a man sitting in the middle of the room with his back to the door. He had no reaction to the outside world at this moment. He just looked up at the only square window in the room. No one knew what he was thinking.

Qiao Suisui was a little afraid to recognize him. She slowly took two steps closer and called softly, "Karl."

The man's body suddenly stiffened, but he still did not turn around. He just tilted his head slightly, revealing his thin profile.

"Karl, what's wrong with you?"

The man looked at her calmly, then passed Qiao Suisui and looked at Sang Yan and Zong Fang behind her, and said, "You came to see me?"

Qiao Susu stood there in a daze, not understanding why he completely ignored her.

Zong Fang took a step forward, put his hand on her waist, and said to Karl: “She is looking for you.”

Carl raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself, "Now I have three hallucinations. What's the difference between quitting and not quitting?" After saying that, he turned around and looked up at the window.

The warden sighed and said, "He has been forced to quit for three years, and he relapsed more than 20 times during this period. Others escaped for freedom, but he escaped, took a shot of hallucinogens, and then escaped back. I don't know what he wanted. I asked him once, you can come and go freely, why do you come back? And he can't quit. He said he has nowhere to go."

At this point, the warden looked at Zongfang's expression and asked, "Can you take him away this time when you come? We really can't take care of him."

Qiao Suisui listened to the conversation, her heart shrinking into a wrinkled orange, sour and astringent, she couldn't tell what it felt like. She walked over quietly, sat next to Karl, and accompanied him without saying a word.

Sang Yan wanted to say something but was stopped by Zong Fang. He waved for everyone to go out and give them some space.

Carl was wearing an ill-fitting prison uniform with his trouser legs a little too short, which made him look funny and awkward, but he was unaware of it. He rested his arms on his knees and stared out the window without blinking.

Qiao Susu also followed his gaze and looked out the window, but saw nothing except the dazzling sunlight.

"Karl, what are you looking at?"

Karl didn’t look at her, but seemed very familiar with her existence. His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was talking to himself, but he was answering her question: “I’m watching every day after she left.”

He suddenly turned his head and looked at her with fatigue and attachment.

"You haven't shown up for a long time. I thought the hallucinogens had worn off."

His last injection was half a month ago, and Carl discovered sadly that he had developed antibodies to the hallucinogen and would no longer have hallucinations.

Qiao Susu couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they fell down with a "pa" sound, hitting the back of her fair hand.

Carl was a little flustered. He felt that the illusion in front of him was too real, as if Sui Sui was really crying in front of him. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart and felt a sharp pain.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

He almost subconsciously reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheek, but when he felt her soft and smooth skin, he seemed to be stung and froze in mid-air.

"you"

He looked at Qiao Susu in shock and was speechless for a long time.

The feeling of Sui Sui in the hallucination would not be so real. He was sure of it because he had hugged her countless times in the hallucination.

Karl called out cautiously, "Sui Sui?"

Qiao Susu's eyes were already red from crying. She threw herself into Karl's arms, hugged his neck and sobbed in pain.

"Karl, I don't want you to become like this"

Carl forgot to react. His hands were stiff and he stared blankly at the wall opposite. In fact, he saw nothing. His internal organs were churning and his heart was beating so wildly that it almost exploded.

"Sui Sui?" he called again.

Qiao Suisui wiped away her tears with her hands and answered with a trembling voice, "I'm here."

Karl touched her face with his hand stupidly, feeling the heat of her breath, then he excitedly changed from sitting to kneeling, holding her face with both hands, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears.

He stroked her outline, forehead, eyebrows, and nose over and over again. When his fingertips reached her soft red lips, a hot tear rolled down.

"Sui Sui."

"I'm here."

"Sui Sui."

"I'm here."

Karl's hands were shaking uncontrollably, he gasped for breath, his eyes were filled with excitement and fear, tears bursting out. It was as if all the long-suppressed thoughts, pain and regrets poured out like a flood at this moment, his whole body began to tremble, and he held Qiao Suisui tightly in his arms, fearing that she would disappear again in the next second.

"It's really you, tell me, tell me this is not an illusion, please tell me, this is not an illusion."

Qiao Suisui hugged his waist, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and said, "This is not an illusion, I'm back."
