Chapter 23: Slaughter the chicken and the monkey

Here to undertake the interrogation of No. 049;

Researcher: The plague you mentioned refers to the Black Death?

049: (Pause) Why do you ask?

Researcher: Because your dress looks like the doctor who treated the plague in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries.

049: Okay, but the plague is not the Black Death, I don't know how to explain it to you.

Researcher: In that case, let's skip this item first and talk about the incident that happened in Athabasca.

Did you kill the townspeople and turn them into thoughtless corpses?

049: They were all infected, I had to do this, but I treated them.

Researcher: Treatment? They are all dead, is this treatment?

049: (Some unhappy) Death?

No, doctor (intensified tone)!

Please do not use non-professional language to question my efforts. There is only one disease in the world, and that is the plague.

Most of them are very sick!

Researcher: I'm sorry, I didn't intend to irritate you.

But in fact, the people you have treated are no longer human in a sense.

049: (showing sadness) Hey...

Yes, my current medical skills cannot completely save them, I'm sorry.

...

...

In the control center of the shelter;

William looked at 049's unhurried attitude and the gentlemanly demeanor he showed, and he also realized why 049 in the original world had such a high popularity.

Just who are the three patients mentioned by 049?

William was a little confused.

Is it a tyrant?

was Halsey standing beside him, but said with great interest:

"Then 049 seems to have a lot of topics in common with me! Can I talk to him in person?"

"No!" William vetoed immediately.

Nonsense, even if the original world website says 049 is a ‘little angel’, it’s also an SCP.

has the ability to touch and die.

What if Halsey had the plague 049 said?

Umbrella can't afford this kind of loss.

Seeing that William was a little angry, Halsey had no choice but to approach, and whispered to William's ear and explained:

"Boss, I think 049 can answer many of my problems, so I must ask them face-to-face.

is helpful for perfecting the Spartan project and even for the research on the T virus. "

...

Other people in the control center don't know what Halsey is talking about with William.

The Olympus board of directors is like standing on the top of a peak to their senior employees.

is a kind of looking up existence.

Apart from William and Andre, the most mysterious thing is Halsey. After all, only a few people know her true appearance.

I can see such young postdoctoral fellows, they are a little contemptuous inadvertently.

Like Colonel Andre, regardless of age and appearance, he is extremely oppressive.

William’s ability is unanimously recognized by the company and has the highest rate of appearance. The employees respect him sincerely.

Of course, the most important thing is that William has absolute control and the loyalty of all armed forces.

Who dares to be disrespectful.

As for Halsey?

After seeing the real face,    couldn't help but have questions.

Does she rely on her relationship to lead?

Is it because she robbed others of the achievements of those technologies?

Even Dilson next to him thought the same way, even a little annoyed.

With Dilson’s fifty-year-old age and academic status, showing respect to the twenty-year-old Halsey is an extraordinary humiliation.

If it weren't for William here, Dilson would definitely not pay attention to Halsey.

Now that Halsey makes such an ‘unreasonable’ request, the resistance has intensified.

...

"..."

William, who was silent while looking at the screen, was a little moved after listening to Halsey's words.

If safety is ensured, it is not impossible for her to interrogate herself.

But before William could speak, Dilson interjected: "Boss, I think Dr. Halsey's behavior is not in accordance with the rules."

"Oh?"

Hearing the words, William turned to look at Dilson, and at the same time glanced at the performance of the surrounding technicians.

He had read countless people, and instantly got an insight into the minds of these people.

'Oversight. ’

William discovered that the management of the containment center must not be handed over to the doctors and researchers, and he still needs the confidants of the troops to take over.

As a female genius with high IQ, Halsey also noticed Dilson’s dissatisfaction with her, and then whispered with the corner of William's clothes:

"Boss, actually I..."

"Shut up." William interrupted Halsey, then looked at Dilson with a smile and asked:

"Dilson, do you know what level Dr. Halsey is?"

"Huh?" Dilson was taken aback, and replied, "Olympus."

"That's right." William squinted his eyes and clapped his hands, and raised his voice: "Hank."

"唰——"

As the automatic door opened, Hank led the six members of Alpha rushing in.

William suddenly changed his face, opened his eyes and asked: "Other ranks are disrespectful to Olympus members. What should I do in accordance with the terms of the agreement?"

"B-level and above were cut to D-level personnel, and D to C-level personnel were directly executed." Hank answered truthfully.

"This... boss! I will..."

Hearing Hank's words, Dilson's face was ashen ashes, and he knelt directly on the ground and wanted to beg for mercy.

William still had a smile on his face, but he interrupted in an unusually cold tone: "Hank, you know what to do."

"Yes, boss." Hank, who was instructed, ordered the two Alphas:

"Corson Dilson has been cut to a D-class personnel and sent him to the D-class personnel's cell."

"Yes."

The two Alphas dragged Dilson, who had been limp on the ground, out of the command center.

All the technicians did not dare to breathe loudly after seeing the scene that had just happened, and the needle drop was audible, and they all bowed their heads to avoid William's sight.

Umbrella’s benefits and wages are extremely high, but when signing a work contract, he also signed a confidentiality agreement like a deed.

The terms of the confidentiality agreement clearly point out that the Olympus board of directors is sacred and inviolable.

The technicians can only say that the old doctor happened to hit the boss's gunpoint where he needed to kill a man and there was nothing to complain about.

"Everyone."

At this time, William returned to his amiable appearance and said: "Even though Dr. Halsey is still very young, she is still a member of Olympus.

What I said, do you all understand?

I don’t need to remind you again in the future. "

All the technicians had a cold back, their lips were shaking, and they responded loudly: "No!"

"Well, please prepare a special interrogation room for Dr. Halsey to interrogate number 049 safely."

"Yes! Boss!"

Getting a satisfactory answer, William took Halsey out, who was a little confused, and said to Hank, "Come out with me."

"Yes."

...

Halsey, who was following William, had long guessed that senior employees other than Hive could not always respect her.

is only twenty years old after all, but riding on those old and high-ranking doctors and scholars, can you not be jealous?

But she never cared.

After William's statement, she found that the eyes of the group of technicians had undergone a qualitative change.

William is also young.

Thinking of this, Halsey looked at his back, only feeling a strong sense of security.

...

After walking out of the control center, William ordered Hank:

"Hank, wait for Dr. Halsey to interrogate containment number 049 personally. You and six other Alphas will protect her personally."

"Yes."

"Wow~!"

After all kinds of incidents, Halsey hugged William with excitement, squinted and smiled: "I know the boss is the best!"

"Um..."

Realizing that the other person is a bit too close, William looked up to the side, pushed away from her hug and exhorted:

"When you enter the room, you must follow Hank's instructions completely. Don't mess around, do you hear?"

"Hmm! Got it~" Halsey nodded obediently.

...

...

Soon, fully armed security personnel escorted 049 to a slightly larger room.

049 was still sitting on the side of the wall, and then security personnel placed a special bulletproof glass wall with sound transmission holes in the center of the room and divided it into two parts.

Soon after, Halsey entered the room under the protection of Hank and other Alpha, and sat down with 049.

And 049 didn't resist in the whole process, which also made William, who was standing outside the interrogation room, looking through the one-way glass relaxed a lot.

———————

The following content is Halsey’s dialogue with No. 049;

Halsey: Hello, this is Dr. Halsey.

049: (smiling) Hello, doctor.

Halsey: The patients you mentioned before were three ‘big men’ wearing green leather jackets?

049: Yes, is it...your masterpiece?

Halsey: Yes.

049: (More excited) Really? Great, it seems I am not alone!

...

Due to 049's reaction, Hank and others became nervous.

And 049 seems to have discovered his own indecent behavior, and soon adjusted his mindset.

The conversation continues.

...

049: This proves that you are different from other doctors (the word doctor is said in a disdainful tone). UU reading

is very different, you have a broader vision.

also brought a lot of inspiration to my plan, thank you, doctor.

Halsey: (shaking her hand uncomfortably) You are welcome, then... do I have the plague you mentioned?

049: (He didn't answer directly, but stared at Halsey for a while) Not yet, for the time being.

Halsey: Really... Forget it, don't worry about those questions.

049: (Nodding) Yes, let's talk about academic matters.

————————

Next.

Halsey asked 049 various questions many times, and 049 was also very patient to answer it.

049's attitude when talking with Halsey is obviously stronger than that of Dr. ■■.

Even 049 took the initiative to push his notebook through the gap at the bottom of the bulletproof glass to Halsey's feet, sharing his experience in treating the so-called plague.

The whole process lasted about one hundred and forty minutes, and Halsey talked with 049 quite happily, with a kind of like-minded appearance.

Finally, it ended with 049 indicating that it needed to rest, and 049 was escorted to a special containment room by security personnel.

Soon after the interrogation, a lieutenant officer sent from the Troy base took over the command of the No. 1 Containment Center.

William explained some precautions, such as the tranquilizer of lavender, to better contain 049 and so on.

After   , he led Halsey back to the ground and boarded the private plane waiting in the airport.

In the end, the A380 and the two F-22s flew out of the containment center one after another, and headed back towards the Troy base.
