Chapter 47: Right and Wrong José
As Ranyue threw the pillow at him, Jose remembered the illusion he had in Khiva two years ago, and in a sense, Ranyue really resembled her, which made him feel very lost.
He and Rong Ruo stayed in a small hotel opposite the hospital, before this departure, Jose asked for leave, and asked for all the leave he could in one go, because he didn't know how long he was coming, but he had never asked for leave before, in fact, Jose had not taken a single paid leave since he started working, so Valhalla readily approved Jose's vacation.
The first vacation made Jose a little at a loss, after sending three blood samples to the Elven River, he was not sure what he should do, after thinking about it, he spent all his time in the small library of the Jiangcheng office in Valhalla, in fact, he had expressed to the local office that he could help, but when the staff in the office found out that he was a senior agent, they immediately offered him like a statue, very warmly wished him a happy holiday, and did not ask him for help at all. So José ended up focusing on the office library.
Compared to him, Rong Ruo really looks like she is enjoying her vacation, she will go to the street every day, and then bring back some strange things, although she was actually in such a state when she was in the River of Elves, but this time she became more noisy after the little goblin by her side, Jose probably needed to call room service for her room twice a day.
Two days later, Jose received a reply from the Elven River, Arazuki and the boy's blood was fine, the blood showed that they were all normal except for some malnutrition, and the girl's blood was confirmed to be suffering from Original Sin Syndrome after repeated tests, and Valhalla's Special Disease Response Department said that their disease control team would arrive in Jiangcheng in a week, and until then they wanted Jose to control the girl, isolate her as soon as she showed signs of entering Stage 3, and authorize Jose to deal with it himself if there was an emergency。
With the results of the test and a letter from the Department of Special Illness Response, José went to see García Emilio, the patient's attending physician who was the one who had the most say in the girl's condition at this stage.
José found her in Emilio's office, and instead of immediately expressing his opinion, the doctor who got the results asked José, "What does it mean to do it yourself?"
José did not hide anything, "referring to my right and obligation to take all means that can prevent the outbreak of the disease in an emergency." ”
"You mean you're going to kill that girl, if necessary. Emilio picked up the coffee cup on the table, her fingers circling the pattern on the cup.
Jose nodded, "Eliminating the source of infection is the most effective way to stop the spread. ”
The corners of Emilio's mouth tucked behind the coffee cup rose slightly, "Standard Valhalla practice." She said lightly.
"You're going to kill Ling!?" someone pushed open the office door, it was the boy, and José noticed that he was standing outside the door for a while, but he didn't say anything that needed to be kept secret, so he didn't alert Emilio.
Emilio leaned back in her chair, took a sip of her coffee, and said faintly to the surprised boy, "It's not a good habit to hide behind the door and eavesdrop. ”
"But......" the boy tried to argue, but Emilio didn't give him a chance, she put the cup in her hand on the table, "besides, you should knock on the door first." ”
"I..." The boy lowered his head and was silent for a second, his breathing became rapid, he took a few deep breaths, raised his head again, and his voice was a little rapid, "But you have to ...... Ling"
"That only happens when things can get out of hand, right, Mr. Detective?" Emilio looked at Jose and nodded.
There was an incomprehensible expression on the boy's face, "But...... Why?"
Emilio stood up, left his desk, and came to the window of the office, this is the third floor, you can clearly see the street below, José even saw Rong Ruo talking to a merchant selling snacks, Emilio put one hand on the window, turned his back to the two people in the room and said, " That girl will become extremely contagious once she enters the third stage, and there is currently no effective cure for Original Sin Syndrome, if it breaks out here, there is a good chance that the city will be destroyed, a little girl and a city, for Valhalla, it is an easy choice. ”
But the boy still couldn't understand, his eyes widened, and he asked, "But Ling didn't do anything wrong!"
Emilio glanced back at him, probably because of the boy's innocence, and she smiled faintly, and she turned back again, looking down at the next path, and said, "Who is at fault?"
The boy lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, José could hear him breathing heavily, and his heartbeat intensified, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Emilio, who was still looking down from the window on the road, "Doctor, the operation you mentioned two days ago will prevent Ling from entering the third stage, right?"
Emilio glanced back at the boy, she thought for a moment, then replied, "It should be no problem to stop it, at least temporarily." ”
"We underwent surgery. The boy said firmly.
"The girl's body is very weak, and I can't guarantee what will happen to her body after the surgery. Emilio turned back completely, facing the boy with a serious expression on her face.
The boy had a pained expression on his face, the knuckles of his clenched fists had turned white, he took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "I know, but there is one condition. ”
Emilio stared at him and asked, "What conditions?"
"Don't tell Satsuki about killing Ling. The boy said, staring at José.
José's condition that he didn't want a boy was directed at himself, so he subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"At least if something happens to Ling, she doesn't have to feel guilty. The boy replied.
José didn't know much about emotional matters, and he didn't understand why the boy thought that Lan Yue would feel guilty if something happened to the girl, but it seemed to be for Lan Yue's good, so Jose agreed to the boy's request.
After that, the boy and Emilio began to discuss the operation, and José took his leave without a reason to stay.
On the way to the library, José was thinking about something, according to the normal situation, if the little girl entered the third stage and the team of the Special Disease Response Department still did not come, he would not hesitate to kill the girl, as he did many years ago, but the words of the boy, he said that the girl did nothing wrong, it seems that the mother of the girl many years ago said the same thing.
After Ye Duyu said that to him two years ago, he has been thinking about whether this girl and the girl from many years ago have done anything wrong? Jose doesn't think they did anything wrong, but he will still kill her, because it will prevent more people from dying, and this is right, so he has never felt repentant for his actions back then, because he did the right thing.
However, it was only at this moment that Jose began to reflect that killing someone who was not wrong seemed to be a mistake, Ye Duyu said that there is not only right and wrong in this world, so is there anything that is both right and wrong, which made Jose's mind more and more chaotic, until someone pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Senior brother, wait for me!" Jose lowered his head and saw Rong Ruo pulling his sleeve, his face flushed, as if he had just run a short distance.
"What's wrong. José stopped.
"Senior brother, really, I called you so many times, you shouldn't have a sudden!" Rong Ruo gasped and looked at him guiltily.
José was silent for a moment and replied, "Oh, I didn't hear that. ”
"Senior brother, are you okay?" Rong Ruo walked around Jose in surprise, trying to find out what was abnormal about him, "Haven't you always had very smart ears?"
There was no expression on José's face, and he replied simply, "Hmm." ”
Probably thinking that Jose was really boring, Rong Ruo was bored, "Senior brother, someone is looking for you." ”
