When Jing Ji and Zhu Shijiu arrived at the scene, they just happened to hear Haagen-Dazs questioning Max with this question.
Jingzhi thought to himself that something was wrong, this actually happened.
The Chess Club got away unscathed from the insect-man research project, but the Papua New Guinea military took the initiative to take the blame... No, the Papua New Guinea military might not have done so voluntarily, perhaps as she had guessed before, Max was a pawn of the Chess Club, used specifically to throw dirty water on the military from which it could not recover.
Thorn was thinking about something from the other side, but Max didn't care what Thorn was thinking about, he was scared now.
"Bugs, bug-men? I don't know." Max's first reaction was to deny it, but he was also smart enough to know that denying it would only make him look suspicious, so he added, "If the bug-men you're talking about are the creatures I saw fighting you just now... I know now."
Haagen-Dazs could tell at a glance that Max was not being sincere.
As a black soldier, there is one most basic quality, and that is "genius".
Anyone who becomes a Black Soldier has a genius brain. With the addition of long-term injections of Black Soldier potions, the brain becomes more evolved, allowing the Black Soldiers to learn many skills that are simply impossible to achieve in the eyes of ordinary people.
For example, micro-expression observation.
According to common sense, among ordinary people, even the world's top micro-expression experts find it difficult to directly observe all the micro-expressions on ordinary people's faces. Many times, judging whether a person is lying requires slow playback observation using special video recording equipment.
But the black soldiers were different. They had already trained their vision to the physiological limit of humans, especially the elite black soldiers. As long as they were willing to concentrate and stare, their eyes would become the most sophisticated slow-play instruments that far surpassed any human device.
Of course, this is not enough to support Haagen-Dazs's judgment that Max was lying. The most important thing is that Haagen-Dazs has studied the micro-expression course in the Black Soldier Organization and is proficient in micro-expression observation, which makes him equivalent to a micro-expression master.

"Don't lie to me! Are you trying to say that these insect people are the product of nature? Do you believe these words?"
Yeah, who would believe that? Max glanced at the research institute in the distance with a guilty conscience. Every time a bug man appeared, he was immediately killed. The bug man had no room to resist.
This seemingly hopeless situation, however, allowed him to keenly grasp a glimmer of hope!
Although he didn't know how these insect people broke free from their cages and escaped from the research institute, he was the only one present who knew that there were a huge number of insect people in this research institute!
It is extremely slow to eliminate the insect people like the black soldiers are doing now. It will take a long time to eliminate all of them. It may not even be possible to completely eliminate them until the people evacuate.
Then, as long as the time is dragged on long enough, there is no need to worry about the data in the institute being discovered, because eventually all the data will be destroyed along with the destruction of the continent.
As soon as he thought of this, he had made a decision.
Between two evils, choose the lesser one. Rather than being suspected by the Black Soldier Organization, it is better to take the initiative to confess part of the truth, reduce your own guilt in this matter and have a chance to survive.
Max gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Black Soldier, I admit that I lied just now. The truth is..."
At this time, Jing Ji and Zhu Shijiu had already come to Max and Haagen-Dazs. Hearing the second half of Max's sentence, Zhu Shijiu took over and said, "The truth is that these are all research products of Papua New Guinea and have nothing to do with you, right? Or do you only know a little bit about them and don't understand anything more in-depth?"
Max was dumbfounded.
Because Zhu Shijiu said word for word what he was about to say!
He was suddenly speechless.
"The insect-man research project was originally an experimental project of the world's top research institute. It took countless attempts before they finally found a way to combine insect-man genes with human genes. So I want to ask you, how did Papua New Guinea achieve this on its own?"
Without the right data and methods, it is very difficult to research the Zerg. Even if it is a failure, it cannot be researched without the corresponding data support.
After hearing what Zhu Shijiu said, Jingzhi on the side couldn't help but look at Zhu Shijiu. What he said seemed very reasonable, and the existence of the Chess Club seemed to be about to surface. However, the purpose of the Chess Club was definitely not to self-destruct.
Max is an excellent actor. Others would think that he is just a liar who is trying hard to hide the truth but has poor excuses. However, Thorn, who has basically guessed the inside story, finds it scary.
This acting skill can almost beat all the movie stars in the world.
Look at the forehead covered with cold sweat, the body trembling slightly with nervousness, the stiff movements and unnatural expression. The acting is so superb that even Thorn would applaud.
Max was frozen in his expression: "I, I don't know either. I don't know much about this..."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Shijiu took a step forward, only a fist away from Max, and met Max's gaze with his sharp eyes.
Max's face turned pale. He felt the unique indifference of the black soldier from Zhu Shijiu's eyes.
As an intelligence dealer in the United States, he had seen the eyes of countless killers. The killers' eyes were so indifferent. When they looked at people, it seemed as if they were not looking at a living being, but at a dead object!
It was a look that, after having seen life and death for so long, had no special feelings towards life, only indifference.
Apart from the killer, he had only seen it in the eyes of the black soldier.
Now that these eyes were fixed on him, the fear in his heart was almost full to the point of overflowing.
In this situation, the man in front of him said something that almost made his heart stop!
— “Max, you’re not from Papua New Guinea, are you?”
Dead silence
Max held his breath, totally uncontrollably.
"Did you catch a big fish?"
Haagen-Dazs walked up and patted Max's shoulder expressionlessly.
"Brother, just confess. You have no idea what kind of pain we can inflict on you. If you don't confess, we promise to take you back and make you live a life worse than death."
"I... I..."
Max collapsed to the ground as if he had fainted.
He really wanted to say that he was a local, but all the identities he forged in Papua New Guinea could not stand up to scrutiny and would be exposed once checked.
What he didn't understand was why Zhu Shijiu could reveal his identity so accurately and grasp his lifeblood so precisely.
"I, I confess everything, I only ask you to let me go!"
Zhu Shijiu squatted down and said with a fake smile: "Don't worry, I'll treat you leniently if you confess. I will try my best to get you the opportunity to be a test subject."
Thorn watched the "double act" between Zhu Shijiu and Max from the sidelines in silence.
