Chapter 148: Finding Evidence

Aosilan Diguo.

Luka stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and hung up the communication.

Laiboli sat on the sofa behind him and asked: "What did he say?"

Luka paced to the table, threw his light brain on the desk, and replied: "Ka'er sent a message back using special communication equipment, saying she is doing well and is with Zongfang."

'Crack—'

The sound of a glass breaking rang out.

Laiboli looked down at the glass shards in his hand, took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He stood up abruptly and walked straight out the door. "I'm going to bring her back."

Luka watched his departing back without saying a word.

His hand tapped on the table, one beat after another, his eyes lowered in thought.

Actually, there was a second half to Ka'er's message: Beware of the Federation.

Luka knew Ka'er's background very well; he was cultivated by the Federation, funded by the Federation, and worked for the Federation. For such a Ka'er to warn them to beware of the Federation—what exactly did they discover on the Southern Battlefield? He lit a cigarette with a lighter, the smoke making him frown. Luka held the cigarette between two fingers and dialed Angsi's audio signal on his light brain.

"Colonel, any instructions?"

"Send people to watch the Lian Bang Zhong Yang Building. Remember, report to me immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes."

Angsi was about to hang up but was stopped by Luka.

"Can we use our equipment to reply to Ka'er?"

"Theoretically, yes." Angsi said, then waited for a while. The other end of the light brain was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help asking: "Colonel, what do you want to reply to Ka'er?"

Luka picked up the photo frame on his desk. The photo inside was taken by a servant when Qiao Suisui was still in his Biegong. She was standing in a sea of flowers, smiling brilliantly.

The man's thumb rubbed the girl's smiling face in the photo, and he lowered his eyes: "Nothing, you go get busy."

Angsi said yes and hung up.

The hang-up prompt continued to sound, but Luka was still looking at the photo. —At this moment, Anubis was standing quietly in the dark basement of the Lian Bang Zhong Yang Building.

In his hand, he gripped a small detonator; the power of this device was enough to destroy the entire building. The surrounding walls were hung with pipes and wires, emitting a faint buzzing sound, just like the buzzing in his mind at this moment.

Every word of his father's words carried unquestionable majesty: "Install the detonator at the designated location. Bi, put away your useless sympathy. We have no way out."

He tried to refute again, his voice slightly trembling, his brows furrowed: "Father, there are not only our targets there, but also many ordinary beastmen. Do we really have to go this far?"

His father's face was almost expressionless, his voice cold and firm: "If you cannot execute it, I will find someone else to complete it. Do not let your weakness hinder our plans."

"I'll do it."

In the narrow pit, Anubis pulled himself out of his memories, his fingers gently touching the mechanical key of the detonator.

Finally, he squatted down, took an identical detonator out of his backpack, connected the wires, set up all the devices, and pressed the timer key.

After doing all this, he put on his hat, pulled the zipper of his clothes to the highest point to cover most of his face, and left quietly, like a fish entering the sea, lowering his head and blending into the coming and going crowd.

Southern Battlefield.

Ka'er and Zongfang were trying to persuade Qiao Suisui to return to the Huangting.

"I want to wait for Anubis to come; we made an appointment." Qiao Suisui looked at the two men sitting opposite her. She didn't know when they had united. The situation was truly changing rapidly. Ka'er pinched the tip of her nose and gritted his teeth: "If he were coming, he would have come long ago. We've been here for so many days, where is he? You're the only one hot-headed, busy for him. Now that everything is figured out, you should consider your own situation, right?"

"I'm fine." Qiao Suisui was puzzled.

Zongfang pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly: "How long do you intend to rely on nutrient solution? There is no food you can eat here. It's okay for a short time, but your physical condition won't allow it for long. Do you want me to give you nutrient injections?"

Qiao Suisui pursed her lips, having nothing to say. She knew Ka'er and Zongfang were worried about her, but if she couldn't find evidence to help Anubis prove the innocence of the Rebel Army, even if she told the truth, no one would believe it.

"Then, how about we go to the experimental base again? It would be good if we could get some documents..."

Ka'er stared at her with his arms crossed and said: "It collapsed. You and I saw it with our own eyes, how can we go?"

"Then... then go to the Si Gu Qiu to find the black box? Kui Shou was so nervous about finding the black box, maybe there is key evidence in it?"

Zongfang frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked: "What black box?"

So Qiao Suisui told the whole process of their investigation in detail. Zongfang was silent for a moment after listening, then picked up a table knife and cut his own forearm.

"Zongfang, what are you doing!" Qiao Suisui hurriedly grabbed his hand, but saw him smile reassuringly at her, then dig a chip out of his flesh with the tip of the knife.

The second after the chip was removed, the wound on his forearm healed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, only the undried blood remained.

"I think this is the black box they are looking for."

Zongfang inserted the chip into an aluminum converter, connected it to a projection, and looked at Qiao Suisui before clicking play. "Are you sure you're ready to watch?"

Qiao Suisui nodded.

Zongfang touched the top of her hair and then clicked play.

The entire clip was less than a minute long, filled with explosions, crying, and various tragic environmental sounds. The scene could only be described as "bloody and mangled"—it was a true human purgatory.

Qiao Suisui was so shocked she couldn't speak, and even Ka'er couldn't bear to look away.

"Play it again," she said.

Zongfang played it from the beginning again. This time, Qiao Suisui focused on the frame where the bomb was dropped. A blurry black shadow flashed across the sky. She asked Zongfang to pause and zoom in. After clear restoration, the black shadow was a warship, and it had a very clear Federal logo.

"Found it! Found it! It's evidence!"

Qiao Suisui was trembling with excitement, her eyes already red. She grabbed Zongfang's arm and said: "With this, we can prove the Federation's crimes."

Zongfang couldn't bear to pour cold water on her, but some things were better told sooner rather than later.

He adjusted his breathing, held her on his lap, and ran his five fingers through her hair, the smooth black silk passing through his fingers.

"Qiaoqiao, if I say that the source of all this evil comes from my father's hand, will you look down on me?"

Qiao Suisui was startled and grabbed his hand, asking: "Zongfang, what do you know?"

"My father is the Prime Minister of the Sote Republic on the surface, but in fact, he is the confidant of the current Federal Head and also the manager of the Scavenger organization."

Ka'er was in a mess and asked: "So I've been working for your dad?"

Zongfang glanced at him and said: "The Scavengers were founded by him. The initial purpose was to hunt down and annihilate the Rebel Army and bury the truth forever, but later it gradually evolved into the Federal Head's black glove, specializing in dirty work."

"Then who were the people I was ordered to assassinate in the missions?"
