Gerald understood what Phil meant. Even though he was worried, he had no choice.
He followed Amur and left.
As he passed by the men on the first floor, Gerald heard their conversation.
"Is he seriously bringing this useless guy along for the mission?"
"If it were up to me, I'd take care of him and tell Boss he failed the mission."
Since a few of them knew what mission he was carrying out, they started discussing it.
As Gerald thought about the things he might have to do later that he had never done before, his mind was in turmoil. He did not even know how he ended up getting into Amur's car.
"What's your code?" Amur's question jolted Gerald out of his daze, bringing him back to reality.
"I'm 091," answered Gerald.
He used to be proud of having that code, but now, he was filled with fear and hatred. How could he have been so foolish as to join this terrorist organization?
There was no turning back now. He could only steel himself and do things he did not want to do.
Amur remained silent.
Carefully, Gerald asked again, "What's your code?"
He thought everyone on the Island of Despair had a code and dared not ask for names, only their codes.
"I don't have one." Amur's voice was cold.
Gerald looked at him incredulously, "How is that possible..."
"I don't."
Gerald had no choice but to ask again, "Then what should I call you?"
"Amur." Amur told him his name. It was not his full name, but it did not matter.
Gerald found it strange how foreign their names were.
When he thought about what might happen later, he asked, "This is my first time doing something like this. What should I do?"
"It's two hours before dinner time. You'll pretend to be the person reporting the incident. Go to the police, then find the kitchen, and pour the potion into the salad. As long as you do all that, the mission will be over."
"Is it that simple?" Gerald could not believe it. His eyes widened as he subconsciously recalled what Amur said.
Wait!
He was supposed to drug the two targets, but he was drugging the food in the kitchen! He was not targeting Jacob but someone from the police station!
"Aren't we supposed to deal with Jacob and the others?" Gerald was afraid.
He did not want to be involved in so much. If he killed people from the police station, even if Abel did not do anything to him, other police officers would.
Gerald did not think he could be a match for the police of A City.
"The potion only affects you guys." Amur did not explain in detail. The potion he held was effective for those who had taken the poison. If they took the potion, they would experience shortness of breath and then go into shock within two hours.
Most accidents would be attributed to allergies without a detailed examination.
However, ordinary people who had not taken the poison would not exhibit such symptoms.
Gerald was not reassured and asked again, "What will happen if others eat it?"
"They'll have diarrhea." Amur's words remained simple.
After Gerald heard that, he nodded and continued to replay every word he had just heard.
"So, you mean to say that as long as it's someone from the Island of Despair who takes this potion, they'll... die?"
"Are you a member of the Island of Despair?" questioned Amur.
Gerald nodded and then shook his head.
He used to think he was a member of the Island of Despair, that the code belonged to him as part of their structure.
