The second basement level was pitch black, like walking in ink.
Qiao He followed behind Bo Shiwu, and the only sound in the stairwell was their footsteps.
Unlike the basement level, the wiring here seems to be broken.
They could only use flashlights for illumination. Looking at the messy laboratories ahead, Qiao He fell into deep thought.
"As!" Qiao He called out.
A moment later, the echo returned.
There was not a sound, nor any animal or human voice.
There seems to be no one down there...
Although disappointed, Qiao He had expected this outcome. There was nothing she could do; Qiao Si must have been taken away by the people in the lab, especially that mysterious Dr. Lin.
The head of this research institute, no one really knows who he is.
Before long, the two of them had searched the entire place but found nothing.
Qiao He was a little overwhelmed: "There really is nothing, and all the clues have been destroyed."
It seems they were afraid the lab's secrets would be leaked, so even after escaping, they destroyed everything except the animals and humans they weren't taking with them...
After all, animals and humans are everywhere to them. It doesn't matter if they die this time and aren't taken away; they can just find a new place to settle them.
Anyway, at this critical juncture, it's perfectly normal for someone to disappear.
Society is in such a mess that it's basically no longer subject to any legal sanctions.
Qiao He clenched her fists tightly, hoping that those people wouldn't go too far with Qiao Si. What if they really used Qiao Si for live experiments...
Qiao He's eyes turned extremely cold; she would kill them all!
"There's nothing here. Let's go back first, and then try to find out about this research institute and Dr. Lin." Bo Shiwu comforted her softly. He knew that Qiao He must be feeling terrible. She had searched for so long, gone to great lengths, and almost lost her life, but even so, she still couldn't find Qiao Si.
It's understandable that Qiao He is in a bad mood.
"Okay, let's go up first..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao He suddenly caught a glimpse of the shirt on a corpse.
It was impossible to tell whether the corpse was male or female, because the length of the hair was just right—a delicate length that both men and women could have.
However, Qiao He didn't care whether the corpse was a man or a woman. Through the white coat, she could see something wrapped inside the shirt, with only a small tip showing, which looked very inconspicuous.
No wonder they went back and forth several times, ignoring the corpse each time.
Because it's true!
If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it at all.
Qiao He rushed over, then ripped open the white coat and clothes, and took out a palm-sized experimental notebook from the pocket inside.
Although it's called a notebook, it doesn't contain much content related to experiments; most of it is more like a diary.
Qiao He flipped through the pages one after another until—
She saw Joss's presence!
The owner of this diary actually recorded some of the events that occurred at that time.
For example, the day Qiao Fei and Qiao Jin escaped caused a great stir. Everyone put aside what they were doing and came out to catch the cat.
In the end, two of the three cats ran away, which made Dr. Lin very angry. He then assigned them many more tasks to complete within a specified time.
Qiao He also knew that Dr. Lin had actually been interested in Qiao Si's intelligence!
He thought it was impossible for a cat to be so intelligent, so he became very interested in Joss and couldn't wait to catch him and put him in a cage to do some research.
When Qiao He saw this, her heart clenched and her palms were sweating.
So what exactly happened to As?
Is he still being kept in a cage by Dr. Lin?
Because Dr. Lin knew that Joss could run away and would try every means to escape, he kept Joss in a cage at all times, and it was the kind of iron cage that could be moved around and was generally impossible to break open.
Qiao He stared at the lab technician's headphones, her fingers gripping the diary tightly until her knuckles turned white and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Then she saw what happened next.
Dr. Lin did not use him as a live experimental subject, but kept the cat in a cage at all times and kept it by his side.
No matter what Dr. Lin goes out to, he takes the cat with him, and everyone says that Dr. Lin seems to care a lot about this cat. Even when eating, he watches him and talks to him.
Qiao He was startled; now she understood why Dr. Lin had done this.
This way, we can confirm whether Joss can understand human speech and whether he has his own thoughts and can think like a little adult, knowing what he should do.
