Chapter 535 Interrogation

Even William himself didn’t know how much time it took to refine the black dead skin of the apostle’s skin.

 When he successively lifted the seals in the basement and was about to meet Keith and asked about the time.

Da Da Da ~ I only heard the heavy footsteps from upstairs, not the Kisi couple but outsiders' arrival, and at the same time, they could hear a very heavy metal breathing sound.

Soon there was a quarrel. The other party tried to check the basement, but Keith tried his best to stop him.

 When a conflict is about to break out.

The wooden boards in the basement were blown away by a blast of air, and William jumped up and landed in front of everyone.

What is in front of me is a special mouse wearing a full-coverage respiratory mask, a black one-piece experimental dress, a finger combined with a syringe, and a plague circulation device hanging on the back.

There is also a green three-ring mark on the chest that represents the plague.

"Boss, this is the "quarantine officer" from the Plague Bed who is conducting routine blood sampling, and you are an outsider and do not need to sample. "Keith seemed to be explaining to William, but he was actually explaining it to the quarantine officer.

ˆHu~hu~

 The sound of heavy breathing came from some kind of metal pipe. The quarantine officer looked at the young man in front of him with a mask.

In his opinion, outsiders who cannot even afford to stay in a hotel and choose to live in the homes of ordinary rat people are either weak and incompetent, or they are deliberately avoiding something, such as the Black Tail Hotel incident that happened a few days ago.

"May I have your name?"

 "William Behrens." No disguise, just give the real name.

The quarantine officer enjoys extremely high authority in the Rat City. As a whistle came from under the mask, a green-eyed rat arrived with a document in its mouth.

This document corresponds to the check-in register of the Blacktail Hotel on the day of the collapse. William's name was suddenly recorded on it, and it was registered on the same day, which is very suspicious.

“Since you may be involved in the collapse of the Black Tail Hotel, please come with me.”

Keith on the side saw that his boss was about to be taken away. As a rat citizen, he knew very well what this kind of slightly suspicious taking away meant. The probability of never coming back was basically as high as 100%.

Just when he wanted to perjure himself to prove that William had been living in his house during this period, and that the name in the register might just be the same.

William patted him lightly on the shoulder and followed the quarantine officer away.

 Keith calmed down with such clapping,

 Recalling the hotel that collapsed when his boss stayed there, and recalling related experiences in the inner city, he had a vague feeling of bad premonition.

 “Could it be that the boss...”

 …

When William left the cave, he softly asked the quarantine officer who was walking in front: "By the way, my candle puppet will also go with you? Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to bring it back and be stolen. I will have to rely on her to go there later." Treasure hunt in the darkest place."

　　When the word "Place of Extreme Darkness" was spoken, the quarantine officer paused slightly, and then looked at the old-fashioned candle puppet that was tattered and even had a "burning skull".

 “Take it with you.”

William himself used gentleman's clothing to calm down his atmosphere, and he looked like a harmless outsider who had just opened up his country. In the opinion of the quarantine officer, it doesn't make much difference to bring an extra old candle puppet.

 Just as William expected,

 Under the leadership of the quarantine officer, we went directly to the [Plague Bed] in the old city. It was a dark building with a huge size second only to the tower. It had a cubic structure and was fully sealed.

 The waste generated internally will be transported through underground pipelines and discharged from four chimneys located at the corners of the inner city.

There is also a network of meat tubes flowing with No. 7 plague fluid around the plague bed. This is much safer than an electrified barbed wire fence.

Once any outsider touches the meat tube and flows inside, the No. 7 plague liquid developed by the plague bed will spurt out. Even the open source must use life-saving means to clean up the plague liquid.

A large number of black rat guards patrol here, and all of them have been more or less stabbed with needles. Their physiques are much larger than ordinary rats, and their eyes are also glowing green.

When the quarantine officer comes here, the surveillance eyes embedded in the meat tube network immediately detect the identity of the visitor.

When William followed him into the Plague Bed area, he felt that the sky was darkening. The cube-shaped Plague Bed building squeezed into his eyes like a giant object, pressing on the surface of his heart and making it difficult to breathe.

                A drop of green blood flowed out of William's nose.

When the quarantine officer saw this scene, he also had a rough assessment of William's 'strength' and explained: "Don't worry, this is a normal reaction when you are close to the plague bed. After our investigation is completed, we will inject you with the antigen so that you can function normally." Leaving will not cause any harm to your body.”

"Thanks."

Two people stood in front of the only steel door in the plague bed. The door was printed with the three-ring mark representing the plague, and had double valves inside and outside.

  The quarantine officer and the internal staff turn the valve at the same speed to complete the opening of the gate.

During the opening process, even the quarantine officer adjusted the knobs on the clothing at the same time to ensure that the filtration effect was adjusted to the maximum value to keep out pathogenic bacteria.

Crunch~

The door was opened, and due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside, a strong wind that could lift ordinary people away hit the face.

 Countless pathogens and even some undetected microorganisms were blown out together and adhered to William's skin, nasal mucosa, and scalp spaces.

With William's formal breath, countless pathogens successfully entered the body.

If the air you breathe when you step into Rat City is like a gang of ruffians headed by rats,

The group of pathogens inhaled into the body this time is a more professional gang group. There are many practitioners in it, or shirtless strong men holding machetes, or motorcycle men wearing turbans and holding sticks, and even some A suicide with explosives strapped to his body.

However, what they came to was still the familiar discotheque, the familiar lunatic boss, the familiar Black Knight thugs, and the familiar Evil Sun ceiling lamp...

There is indeed a difference between the so-called professional gangs and local gangsters, but the difference is not very big.

They can make more screams before dying, can hold on for a few more seconds, and cleaning up the body is a little more troublesome.

in reality,

William had already begun to cough violently, and coughed up red and greenish sputum. He quickly tore off a layer of skin from his body to use as a mask, and followed the other person to the bed of plague.

 The scene inside surprised William. He thought it would be a messy nest, representing an extremely dirty nest.

What actually appears in front of you is a modern experimental building with standardized management, a design style based on straight lines and right angles, and mineral metal as building materials. The overall appearance is clean and new.

The reason why there are strong pathogenic bacteria in the air is that the toxic gases generated during the experiment were deliberately transported to the public areas of the building through pipes and exhaust fans to build a "third line of defense" that would expose any intruders. Under a highly lethal plague.

 This is why quarantine officers all wear protective clothing.

William was quickly taken to a small dark room that had been purified and isolated. The quarantine officer sitting opposite handed him a glass of water claiming to be an 'antidote'.

It actually contains a parasite that can absorb toxins, and this parasite will follow the blood to the brain as soon as possible, affecting the individual's subsequent interrogation to a certain extent, allowing him to tell the truth as much as possible.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　uluungulu~

William drank it all in a few sips, and after heaving a sigh of relief, he expressed his gratitude again and again.

Such a performance made the quarantine officer sitting opposite almost laugh out loud, and even wanted to openly laugh at how such a person could achieve open source.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The quarantine officer unscrews the hydraulic valve on the surface of the clothing, holds his head with both hands, and removes the fully wrapped respiratory mask.

 A terrifying rat head that was rotten and covered in sores, with 80% of the skull exposed, appeared.

There are vaguely moving black tentacles between its eye sockets, providing a kind of dark vision to examine the young man in front of him.

“Next, please answer my question truthfully. Did you stay at the Blacktail Hotel three days ago?”

"yes."

“Did you have any contact with the hotel owner Congreve Kuroo on the night you checked in?”

"have."

"How did you come into contact? Did you persecute Congreve Blacktail, or were your companions secretly sabotaging the hotel?"

“No, it’s just me.

　　While I was sleeping, I was taken to the world inside the wall and met the boss who was made up of countless tails. As for his name, I didn’t know it until you said it.

 He wants to eat me, and I want to get news about the abyss, is it fair?

　　Just when I tried to ask questions about the abyss, I didn't expect that the abyss seemed to have self-awareness and turned back on the boss, and accidentally tore my clothes.

What a pity... So I came to you this time and want to continue to inquire about the abyss. I wonder if you or your boss can tell me in detail? "

William, whose eyes were originally distracted, suddenly became normal and put his hands into fists on the table.

On the contrary, the quarantine officer sitting opposite was completely stunned and became well-behaved and honest.
