Chapter 23 The Conversation Was Enjoyable
The interrogation of No. 049 is undertaken here;
Researcher: When you say plague, do you mean the Black Death?
049: (Pause) Why do you ask that?
Researcher: Because of your dress, you resemble the doctors who treated the plague in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
049: Well, but the plague is not the Black Death, I don't know how to explain it to you.
Researcher: That being the case, let's skip this one and talk about what happened in Athabasca.
Did you kill those townspeople and turn them into mindless corpses?
049: They were all infected and I had to, but I, treated them.
Researcher: Treatment? They are all dead, does this count as therapy?
049: (somewhat upset) Death?
No, doctor (emphasis added)!
Please don't use non-professional terms to question my efforts. There is only one disease in the world, and that is the plague.
Most of them are very sick!
Researcher: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
But in fact, the people you have treated are no longer human in a sense.
049: (showing sadness) Hey…
That's right, I can't completely save them with my current medical skills, and I'm sorry.
…
…
in the control center of the shelter;
William looked at 049's unhurried attitude and the gentleman's demeanor he showed, and he could understand why 049 in the original world was so popular.
But who are the three patients mentioned by 049?
William was a little confused.
Is it a tyrant?
On the other hand, Halsey, who was standing beside him, said with great interest:
Then 049 seems to have a lot in common with me! Can I talk to him in person?
No! William immediately rejected.
Nonsense, even if the original World Online said that 049 was a 'little angel', it was still a ***.
Has the ability to touch and die.
What if Halsey had the plague that 049 said?
Umbrella cannot afford such a loss.
Seeing that William was a little angry, Halsey had to approach, and explained in a low voice on tiptoe beside William's ear:
Boss, I think 049 can answer many of my difficult questions, and I must ask them clearly in person.
It is helpful to improve the Spartan program and even the research on the T virus.
I have also participated in the construction of the shelter. There is an isolated interrogation room here, and there should be no problems in terms of security.
.
Hearing what Halsey said, William was no longer a veto, but was thinking about the pros and cons.
If it can ensure her safety, this is not impossible, then he turned to Lance beside him and said softly:
Captain, prepare an interrogation room with an isolation device where Dr. Halsey can safely talk to 049.
Yes. Lance immediately executed the order, turned and walked out of the control center.
Eh? Boss, do you agree?
William did not respond to Halsey's words, but after taking her out of the control center, he ordered Hank:
Hank, wait for Dr. Halsey to personally interrogate containment 049, and you and six other Alphas will protect her closely.
Yes.
Wow~!
Halsey couldn't hide his excitement and hugged William, squinting and smiling: I knew the boss was the best!
Forehead…
Aware that the other party was a little too intimate, William looked up, pushed her arms away and warned:
When you enter the room, you must follow Hank's instructions completely, and don't make a fool of yourself, do you hear?
Yeah! Got it~ Halsey nodded obediently.
Soon, heavily armed security personnel escorted 049 to a slightly larger room.
In the center of the room is a special bulletproof glass wall with a sound transmission hole, dividing the room into two parts.
049 was escorted by security to the wall and sat down.
Soon after, Halsey entered the room under the protection of Alpha such as Hank and sat opposite 049.
And 049 did not have any resistance throughout the whole process, which also made William, who stood outside the interrogation room and observed through the one-way glass, relax a lot.
——————
The following is Halsey's conversation with No. 049;
Halsey: Hello, this is Dr. Halsey.
049: (smiles) Hello, doctor.
Halsey: Were the patients you treated earlier, three 'strong men' in green leather coats?
049: Yes, is it... your masterpiece?
Halsey: Yeah.
049: (more excited) Really? Great, it looks like I'm not alone!
…
Due to 049's reaction, Hank and others became nervous.
And 049 also seemed to find his indecent behavior, and quickly adjusted his mentality.
Conversation continues.
…
049: This proves that you are different from other doctors (the word doctor is said in a disdainful tone).
Very different, your horizons are wider.
It also gave me a lot of inspiration for my program, thank you, doctor.
Halsey: (shakes his hands a little embarrassedly) You're welcome, so... do I have the plague you're talking about?
049: (Not answering directly, but staring at Halsey for a while) Not yet, not yet.
Halsey: Okay, forget about those issues.
049: (nods) Yeah, let's talk about academics.
————————
Next.
Halsey asked 049 various questions many times, and 049 answered it very patiently.
049's attitude when talking with Halsey is obviously stronger than that of Dr. ■■.
Even 049 took the initiative to push his notebook to Halsey's feet through the gap at the bottom of the bulletproof glass to share his experience in treating the so-called plague.
The whole process lasted about one hundred and forty minutes, and Halsey and 049 had a very happy conversation, and they seemed to be like-minded.
Finally, it ended with 049 expressing the need to rest, and 049 was escorted by security personnel to a special containment room.
Shortly after the interrogation, William explained some precautions to him, such as lavender sedatives, which are used to better contain 049 and so on.
After that, he led Halsey back to the ground and boarded the private jet waiting at the airport.
In the end, the A380 and two F-22s flew out of the No. 1 containment center one after another and returned to the Troy base.
