The elevator, enclosed on three sides by the dark sea, is lavishly decorated with hologram stickers of various marine life. More frightening than the bizarre luminous creatures were the six curious eyeballs of people just like me. It feels like I’ve been thrown into a fish tank. Shin Hae-ryang spoke to me lightly.
“If you’re uncomfortable answering my question, you don’t have to.”
“Okay.”
I can remain silent? Didn’t I just witness someone getting shot in the leg? I thought Shin Hae-ryang’s interrogation technique would be something like punching until the truth comes out, but it seems that’s not the case. Is this another benefit for fellow nationals? …No. People shouldn’t resort to violence when having a conversation in the first place. I need to get a grip.
“Is everything you broadcast true?”
“Yes. Is there any reason I should lie?”
“I thought that telling people not to use the escape pods and central elevator itself might be providing false information to restrict their actions.”
…Why would I do such a thing? I don’t understand. Shin Hae-ryang looked at my face and said simply.
“Think about the guys trapped in West District because of my broadcast.”
