The Gentleman at the End

Chapter 535: Chapter 533 Interrogation

The making of the Apostle Skin’s Black Death Skin had taken William an indeterminate amount of time, even he didn’t know for sure.

Just as he was about to meet Keith to ask about the time after consecutively lifting the seals on the basement,

Tap tap tap~ a series of heavy footsteps echoed down from the floors above. It wasn’t Keith and his wife, but rather an outsider’s arrival, coupled with the distinct sound of heavy metal breathing.

Squabbles quickly ensued as the other party attempted to inspect the basement but Keith adamantly refused.

Just when it seemed like a conflict was about to erupt,

a gust of air burst open the wooden boards of the basement, and with a leap, William landed in front of everyone.

Before him stood a special rat wearing an all-encompassing breathing mask with a black one-piece experimental gown, fingers fused with syringes, and a plague cycle apparatus mounted on its back.

On its chest was the green three-ring seal, symbolizing plague.

“Boss, this ‘Quarantine Officer’ comes from the Plague Bed, conducting routine blood sampling, and since you are a visitor, you’re exempted from sampling,” Keith seemed to be explaining to William but, in fact, was speaking for the Quarantine Officer’s benefit.

Huff~ Huff~

The heavy breathing, resonating through some metal tube, the Quarantine Officer scrutinized the young man before him,

believing that someone who couldn’t afford a hotel and chose to stay in an ordinary rat’s home must either be weak and incapable or deliberately avoiding something, like the Blacktail Hotel incident from a few days prior.
