the last gentleman

Chapter 535 Interrogation
Even William himself didn't know how long it took to refine the black dead skin of the apostle's skin.

When he lifted the seals in the basement one after another, he was about to meet with Keith and asked about the time.

Tap-tap-tat~ Only the sound of heavy footsteps came from upstairs. It was not the Keith couple but outsiders who came, and at the same time, the sound of very heavy metal breathing could be heard.

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

Seeing that the conflict is about to break out.

The wooden boards in the basement were blown away by a gust of air, William jumped up and landed in front of everyone
In front of him is a special mouse wearing a fully-wrapped breathing mask, a black one-piece experimental dress, fingers combined with a syringe, and a plague circulation device hanging on the back.

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

"Boss, this "quarantine officer" from the plague bed is taking a routine blood sample, and you are an outsider and don't need to take a sample. ” Keith seemed to be explaining to William, but he was actually talking to the quarantine officer.

Hu~hu~
The sound of heavy breathing came along some kind of metal pipe, and the quarantine officer looked at the young man in front of him with a mask,
In his opinion, outsiders who couldn't even afford a hotel and chose to live in the homes of ordinary rat people were either weak and incompetent, or they were deliberately avoiding something, such as the incident at the Blacktail Hotel a few days ago.

"What's your name?"

"William Behrens." There was no disguise, and he gave his real name directly.

The quarantine officer enjoys extremely high power in Rat City, and with a whistle from under the mask, a green-eyed mouse arrives with a document in its mouth.

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

"Given your possible connection to the collapse of the Blacktail Hotel, please come with me."

Keith on the side saw that the boss was about to be taken away. As a rat man, he knew very well what it meant to be taken away with a slight suspicion, and the probability of never returning was basically as high as 100%.

Just when he wanted to give false testimony, proving that William had lived in his home during this time, and the register might just be the same name.

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

Keith calmed down with such clapping,
Recalling the hotel that collapsed because the boss stayed in, and recalling the related experiences in the inner city, he had a vague premonition.

"Could it be that the boss..."

……

When William left the burrow, he softly asked the quarantine officer who was walking in front: "By the way, should my candle puppet also go with me? Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to bring it back and be stolen by someone, and I will have to rely on her to go [ The Darkest Land】Treasure hunting."

When the word "dark place" was spoken, the quarantine officer paused for a moment, and then looked at the tattered old-fashioned candle puppet that even used the 'skull burning'.

"Take it."

William himself restrained his breath by using gentleman's clothes, and he looked like an outsider who had just opened up his business and was harmless to humans and animals.From the perspective of the quarantine officer, it doesn't make much difference to bring an extra old candle puppet.

As William expected,
Under the leadership of the quarantine officer, go directly to the [Plague Bed] in the old city, a pitch-black building with a size second only to the tower, with a cube structure and fully sealed.

The waste generated inside 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 pipes flowing with No. 7 plague fluid around the plague bed, which is much safer than an electrified barbed wire.
Once any outsider touches the meat pipe, the No. 7 plague liquid developed by the plague bed will gush out, and even the open source must come up with life-saving means to clean the plague liquid.

A large number of Black Rat Guards are patrolling here, and they have more or less been needled, their physique is far superior to that of ordinary mice, and their eyes are also shining with green light.

When the quarantine officer came here, the monitoring eyeballs embedded in the meat pipe network immediately checked the identity of the visitor.

When William followed the other party into the plague bed area, he felt that the sky was getting darker. The cube-shaped plague bed building squeezed into the eye sockets like a giant, and it was difficult to breathe when it was pressed against the surface of the heart.

Tick ​​~ a drop of green blood flowed from William's nose.

When the quarantine officer saw this scene, he also had a general 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 over, we will inject you with antigens so that you can recover normally." Leave, it won't do any harm to your body."

"Thank you."

The two stood in front of the only steel gate in the plague bed, with the three-ring mark representing the plague printed on the gate, with double valves inside and outside,

The quarantine officer turns the valve at the same speed as the internal personnel to complete the opening of the door.

During the opening process, even the quarantine officer adjusted the knob on the garment at the same time to ensure that the filtering effect was adjusted to the maximum value, which could keep pathogenic bacteria out.

crunch~
The door opened, and due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside, a gust of strong wind that could blow an ordinary person into the air rushed towards us.

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

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

If the air you breathe when you set foot in Mouse City is like a gang of hooligans headed by mice,
Then the pathogen group inhaled into the body this time is a relatively professional gang group. There are many practitioners in it, or shirtless brawny men carrying machetes, or motorcycle men wrapped in turbans and holding sticks, and even A suicide bomber with explosives strapped to his body.

However, what they came to was still the familiar discotheque, the familiar boss of the madman, the familiar black knight thugs, and the familiar evil sun dome...

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

They can make more noises before dying, can last for a few more seconds, and the corpse is a little more troublesome to clean up.

in reality,
William had already started to cough violently, and coughed up reddish green sputum. He quickly tore off a layer of skin to use as a mask, and followed him into the bed of plague.

The scene inside surprised William. He thought it would be a chaotic lair, representing an extremely messy lair.
What actually appeared in front of us was a modern experimental building with standardized management, a design style dominated by straight lines and right angles, and ore metal as building materials. The overall appearance was clean and new.

The reason why there are strong pathogenic bacteria in the air is that the plague bed deliberately transports the toxic gas generated during the experiment to the public area of ​​the building through pipes and exhaust fans, so as to build a "third line of defense", and any intruders will be exposed Under the deadly plague.

This is why quarantine officers are wearing protective clothing.

William was quickly taken to a small black room that had been purified and isolated, and the quarantine officer sitting across from him handed over a glass of water that he called an 'antidote' drink.

In fact, it contains a parasite that can absorb toxins, and this parasite will follow the blood to reach the brain immediately, which will affect the individual's subsequent interrogation to a certain extent, so that he can tell the truth as much as possible.

Goooooooo~
William drank it up in a few sips, and after a long sigh of relief, he expressed his thanks again and again.

Such a performance almost made the quarantine officer sitting across from him laugh out loud, and even wanted to publicly ridicule why such a person was able to achieve open source.

hiss~
The quarantine officer unscrewed the hydraulic valve on the surface of the clothing, held his head with both hands, and took off the fully wrapped breathing mask,

A rotten sore, 80% skull exposed horror mouse head appeared.

There are vague black tentacles creeping between its eye sockets, providing a kind of dark vision, examining the youth in front of it.

"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 Blacktail on the night you checked in?"

"Have."

"How did you get in touch, did you persecute Congreve Blacktail, or did your companions destroy the hotel secretly?"

"No~ it's just me.

I was taken to the world inside the wall while I was sleeping, and I saw the boss who was spliced ​​by countless tails. As for his name, I didn’t know until you said it.

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

Just when I was trying to ask a question about Abyss, I didn't expect that Abyss seemed to have self-awareness and turned the boss back, and accidentally tore my clothes.

What a pity... So I came to you this time, and I 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 slack, suddenly became normal, and he clenched his hands and put them on the table.

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