Chapter 8 Social Man


Chapter 8 Social Man

Leon, who rushed out of the ward for the second time in one day, did not hesitate. He avoided the crowded reception area, climbed out of the window on the second floor of the hospital, and ran towards the cleanup bureau.

Since leaving with Anna is impractical, he has only one choice left, which is to report to the Cleanup Bureau immediately and bring over the person who can deal with the "out-of-control infected"!

I don’t know whether it was because of the excessive mental stress that gave me the illusion that time was slowing down, or whether “reporting to the Cleanup Bureau” was part of the job, and I could get bonuses from the “Probationary Worker” badge.

Leon, who had not slept all night, was obviously very tired, but his speed was much faster than last time. It didn't take long before he rushed downstairs to the Cleanup Bureau.

However, when Leon endured the burning pain in his lungs and staggered into the deepest office, what appeared in front of him was only an empty room.

Where are people? Why is there no one?

Looking through the window at the already darkening sky, Leon, who was full of anxiety, suddenly realized that it was already past the time for public employees to get off work, and the mysterious red-haired woman must have left.

Sorry... Why don't you search the building first to see if there is anyone on duty?

Leon gritted his teeth and was about to leave the red-haired woman's office when there was a muffled sound behind him, as if something heavy had fallen on the carpet.

Leon turned around in surprise and found that a sheep's head ornament fell off the table. He was in a hurry to find someone and didn't have the time to care. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he found that the sheep's head ornament twisted twice strangely and turned around on its own.

In Leon's shocked gaze, the sheep's head with its mouth sewn shut rolled its eyes twice, and then glared at him viciously.

? !
In a dark corridor, a gorgeously decorated and weird office, a sheep head with its mouth sewn shut by red thread is staring at you with a ferocious face...

‘Where are you looking at your horse? ’

An angry voice sounded in Leon's ears, destroying the current terrifying atmosphere.

The black goat rolled on the carpet several times, and after failing to right itself, he turned to glare at Leon angrily, and said angrily:

‘Why don’t you help me up quickly? When we were still big demons, someone as blind as you would have been slapped to death by me long ago! ’

The big devil...the black goat? It's only been more than an hour, how come you only have one head left?

"Hello...hello!"

After recognizing this guy as the black goat just now, Leon, who was worried about his sister's situation, took a deep breath and asked directly:

"I should have bumped into an out-of-control Infector just now. The hospital is just three streets away. Is there anyone on duty in the Cleanup Bureau now?"

What a fart! If there were others in the bureau, how could you just break in? Let those crazy guys unload it and kill them!
Just when Black Goat rolled his eyelids and was about to "speak" to curse, Leon, who is proficient in prescribing the right medicine, quickly added:
"As long as you help me find someone! I will buy you cigarettes! A pack' Gott'! No! Two packs!"

‘…’

Two packs... Tsk... We are so kind and never see the suffering in the world. It's not impossible to help you. The problem is...

'well……'

In Leon's nervous expression, Black Goat first sighed, then shook his head with regret and said:

‘Forget the deal, we are the devil about credibility, and we will never take advantage if we can’t get things done. There is no one in the bureau now, and we can’t help you even if we want to. ’

No one left?
After hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but said anxiously:

"Why is there not even one person on duty for such a big building?"

‘Don’t you have to blame that red-haired girl? Black Goat said with a displeased look on his face:
'It's all because she was too rough in her daily work, which resulted in a low rating for each task. Because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to pass the review at the end of the year, she sent everyone out last month. I'm rushing to achieve results, so now the bureau is empty enough for rats to run around...

Boy, let me tell you, don’t be blinded by her beauty!
Although she is good-looking and is no worse than those pure-blooded succubi, she is drunk, greedy, petty, and unhygienic. We have even seen her secretly picking her feet with the door of her office closed! This stinky bitch is just...eh? ’

Halfway through spitting out the fragrance, the black goat seemed to have discovered something. He turned his head and looked eastward, then slightly opened his sewn mouth and smiled at Leon.

‘You’re lucky, you’ll be able to make a fortune as soon as you join the job... Hurry! Pick me up and hold me. The person who can do the work is back, and I will take you to find her to make peace with her!

Also, remember the cigarette you promised me! You must have two packs, if you miss one I will kill you! ’

As long as you can solve this problem, don't say two packs, just two boxes!

Hearing that things had turned around, Leon was overjoyed. He bent down to pick up the sheep's head and quickly rushed out of the cleanup station. Following its guidance, he ran eastward for almost two blocks, and finally stopped a tall woman covered in bandages at the corner of the street.

"You are...well...the bureau has actually hired a new person."

After looking at the sheep head in Leon's arms, she seemed to have received a lot of information directly from it. The tall woman covered in bandages smiled and extended her right hand to Leon, and said with a friendly expression: "I My name is Emma. I have been a member of the Cleanup Bureau for six years. I think I am quite familiar with the bureau’s business. If you need help with your future work, please feel free to ask.”

"Okay...ok..."

When he first stopped this weird woman covered in bandages, Leon thought she would be another weirdo with a "full of personality" like the Black Goat. Unexpectedly, he heard such a "social person" opening remarks.

But...she seems to be easy to talk to?

After thinking about the situation at the hospital, Leon immediately suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart, took the bandaged woman's hand and shook it hastily, and then said eagerly:

"Over there at the hospital..."

"I will go, but not now."

The bandaged woman smiled gently and said unhurriedly: "According to the bureau's four-step operation manual, we should first observe carefully to determine the type and danger of the anomaly, as well as the identity of the out-of-control infected person;

Then, based on the victim's situation, make a preliminary guess at the effect of the infected person's abilities and determine the possible impact;
Then, look for targeted tools and special items, confirm your own status, and formulate a complete action plan;

The last step is to initiate action, try to control or kill the target and complete the cleanup work with the least casualties and least impact. "

Looking at Leon who was a little dazed after hearing this, the Bandage Goddess reminded him kindly: "Now that the sun has set, our ability to move will be reduced due to the obstruction of our sight, and after losing the suppression of the sun, most of the abnormalities will Things are more active at night, which is not a good time to take action.

In addition, I have just completed a two-and-a-half-month mission, and my physical strength and condition have reached the limit. I need at least a week of recuperation to ensure sufficient concentration. I am not suitable for immediately taking on a new job with an unknown degree of danger.

Therefore, the most correct plan now is for us to go back to the Cleanup Bureau first, and then transfer this task to the director after she goes to work tomorrow, so we still..."

'Why are you doing this again...'

Shocked by the other party's professional and even indifferent attitude, Leon didn't know what to say for a moment, but the sheep head in his arms twisted twice and complained with dissatisfaction:
'Your director has already She went on a business trip to Wales County and will definitely not be back within three days. Are you still waiting for her? ’

"It's better to wait for her to come back."

Looking at Leon, whose expression suddenly changed in front of him, the bandaged woman named Emma smiled gently again, with a slight apology in her eyes: "Look at your expression... you have relatives there. In the hospital?
Sorry, I have a reason to live no matter what. I will not act rashly no matter what the situation is when I am not sure whether it is absolutely safe, so please wait for three days. !”
