"Our department shares a kitchen with the Police Department. Take this over and tell the head chef to make it into a goat-head soup, just like last time," she instructed calmly. "No ginger or scallions—double the cinnamon and cardamom, use twice as much cooking wine for deodorizing, add a spoonful of white pepper, and some soybean paste imported from the East. Serve it at lunch today for everyone in our bureau. Go ahead."

"W-wait! Wait a second! You bastard!"

Never had the black goat expected such treatment after accomplishing so much. Furious, it glared at her from Leon’s arms, protesting vehemently: "Olivia… you wench! This time, I helped training a rookie AND solved your case for you. Is this how you repay me? Do you even have any decency left?"

"I’ve been more than decent!" The red-haired woman, who had rushed back from the capital upon hearing about the mass casualty incident, snorted. She rapped her knuckles sharply on the desk, narrowing her sharp fox-like eyes as she leaned forward menacingly.

"If you want to talk reason, then let me ask you something. Did you know what that director was doing right before you and your rookie took him out?"

"What was he doing? Wasn’t he controlling a bunch of people to attack Emma?"

"Not only that!" Recalling the details in the action report, the red-haired woman snapped angrily, "He thought he had Emma cornered and was boasting about his origins! And just as he was about to reveal who was behind him, you idiots killed his main body!"

"...What?" the black goat blinked in astonishment, frowning skeptically. "You’re kidding, right? That can’t possibly be true. Are you trying to fool me?"

"Hmph..." Exasperated, the red-haired woman pressed a hand against her throbbing chest. Too irritated to explain further, she grabbed the report off the table and threw it at the black goat.

"Read it yourself!"

Fine! If you won’t read it to me, I have other people who can do it for me!! I don’t need you anymore!

Catching the thrown report in its mouth, the black goat turned and handed it to Leon. Leon understood immediately, supporting the document with one hand while opening it with the other, presenting it directly before the black goat’s eyes.

The black goat: ...

Leon: ?

"It means for you to read it aloud."

Glancing between the goat and the man staring blankly at each other, the red-haired woman tipped her flask back for another swig of liquor. Chuckling derisively, she waved her hand dismissively. "Go ahead and read it for him. This idiot can’t read."

"...I’m not completely illiterate, alright? I just... don’t know many words..."

Seeing Leon’s surprised look, the black goat bristled defensively. "I’m a demon! A DEMON! Do you understand? I speak Demon tongue—that’s all I need! Why would I bother learning human writing? Hurry up already! What does it say? Tell me quickly!"

"...Alright."

Though the black goat’s attitude wasn’t exactly polite, Leon decided not to argue. After all, the creature had done him several favors and even offered to teach him its methods free of charge. With a sigh, Leon unfolded the report and began reading.

Red Brick Road Hospital Incident Cleanup Report

Incident Rating: Accident-Level

Incident Status: Cleared

Case Handlers: Emma Allman, Leon Lion

Anomalies Used: Demon Horns, Serpent Bandages

Skimming through the preliminary registration forms, Leon flipped quickly to the second page, eager to find information about the mastermind behind the scenes. However, as he continued reading, his pace slowed unconsciously.

Post-Investigation Findings: The identity of the Contaminated Individual has been confirmed as Thomas Walker, the director of Red Brick Road Hospital. It is suspected that he received infusion from a True God, merging his authority as director with the hospital itself, transforming the entire facility into his personal anomaly.

This anomaly possesses two known abilities:

1. Control Over Staff: Converts hospital employees into puppets under his command. This ability is believed to stem from the corrupted manifestation of his directorial power. Notably, during the cleanup operation, one medical staff member resisted manipulation, risking their life to help patients escape. Based on this observation, we hypothesize that the ability may fail against individuals with strong moral integrity or those willing to defy authority.

2. Absorption of Patients: Absorbs the vitality of patients within its range. Those entering the hospital with severe illnesses are immediately consumed by the structure, experiencing gradual but continuous loss of life force. For every patient absorbed, the hospital’s structural durability increases slightly. After absorbing over 350 patients, specialized nails capable of penetrating six walls previously could now only pass through two before losing momentum entirely. Further investigation suggests that this ability likely originates from the hospital’s long-standing unethical practices, including excessive billing, prioritizing expensive medications, and deliberately prescribing addictive drugs to exploit patients financially.

So that’s how it is...

By the time Leon reached this point in the report, his expression grew serious. He couldn’t help but feel genuine admiration for the meticulousness of the bandaged woman. Last night, when he arrived with his sniper rifle, she was already upstairs rummaging through the director’s office. She hadn’t just taken various items but also emptied the safe hidden inside. At first, Leon assumed she was after the director’s “private stash,” but now, seeing this detailed professional report completed overnight, he realized why she was a veteran of the Cleansing Bureau. Her competence truly spoke for itself.

"Hey kid! Why are you nodding without saying anything? Read it out loud!"

After waiting impatiently for what felt like ages, the black goat panicked, fearing it might actually end up in the stew pot. "Hurry up! If you don’t want to read it, just skim the records and tell me if what she said is true!"

"It’s true." After quickly scanning the relevant sections, Leon nodded reluctantly. "The director had barely started speaking when we pinpointed his location and shot him dead through the office wall. He was just about to reveal the identity of the person pulling the strings..."

"...You gotta be kidding me!"

Realizing Leon wasn’t lying, the black goat deflated instantly. Its earlier bravado vanished as he muttered weakly, head lowered, "I-I was hundreds of meters away... How was I supposed to know the intel was so critical? Even if I messed up your chance to get information, it’s understandable given the circumstances..."
