Chapter 608: The final interview, the King

~2 min read 306 words

Unlike the previous interview records, this time when Dr. Montauk walked into the room and approached PoI-3172,

PoI-3172 was standing in front of a jagged crack in the wall, with red light and smoke emerging from the crack in front of him.

Walking into the containment room,

Dr. Montauk took a deep breath and greeted PoI-3172.

After some simple pleasantries, Dr. Montauk's face seemed to reveal an anxious look.

Taking a deep breath, he said to PoI-3172:

"Tell me directly—does the procedure matter at all? Does what we do have any connection?"

Listening to the dialogue between the two on the light screen,

Naruto and the others were filled with confusion.

"Procedure? What is that?"

Carefully recalling all the data that had appeared on the light screen before,

Kakashi spoke slowly:

"The procedure should be how to deal with the Scarlet King, or the procedure to stop and contain the Scarlet King."

"PoI-3172 knows what the Scarlet King's weakness is, he knows what the Scarlet King is, so all the previous inquiries,"

"what the Foundation wanted to know was how to stop the Scarlet King."

Inside the light screen at this moment, the dialogue between the two continued.

Looking at the anxious Dr. Montauk, PoI-3172 spoke slowly:

"To stop the birth, one must do some terrible things, some evil things manifested by pain, rage, and resentment."

"This is why the procedure is effective."

"You have never faithfully tried to build a scientific procedure: it was just pure, unadulterated hatred wrapped in an objective coat."

"You thought the King took your brother, so you decided to harm the King."

"You didn't do it, of course; what you do to that girl every day is nothing but pure cruelty."

"But it is indeed effective cruelty. The details don't matter; it's the intent that is the point of everything."
