Chapter 411: Socialite

Leon, who rushed out of the ward for the second time in a day, did not hesitate at all. He directly avoided the crowded reception area, climbed out of the window on the second floor of the hospital, and ran wildly toward the Cleanup Bureau.

Since taking Anna away wouldn't work, he only had one choice left: to go to the Cleanup Bureau immediately to report the news and bring back someone who could solve the "out-of-control infected" person!

He didn't know if it was the illusion of time slowing down under extreme mental tension, or if "going to the Cleanup Bureau to report" also counted as job content, allowing him to receive a bonus from the "Probationary Worker" badge.

Leon, who hadn't slept all night, was clearly exhausted, but his speed was much faster than the last time. Before long, he rushed to the building of the Cleanup Bureau.

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

Where are the people? Why is there no one?

Looking through the window at the sky that had already turned dark, Leon, whose face was full of anxiety, suddenly realized that it was long past the time for public officials to get off work, and that mysterious red-haired woman must have already left.

This is troublesome... should I look around the building first to see if there is anyone on duty?

Leon, who had come for nothing, gritted his teeth and was just about to leave the red-haired woman's office when a dull thud came from behind him. It seemed like some heavy object had fallen onto the carpet.

Leon turned his head in surprise and found that it was a sheep-head ornament on the table that had fallen. Being in a hurry to find someone, he didn't have the heart to care much. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he discovered that the sheep-head ornament twisted strangely twice and actually turned its front side over on its own.

In Leon's shocked gaze, the sheep head, whose mouth was sewn shut, rolled its eyes twice, then glared at him fiercely.

?!

A dim corridor, a gorgeously and strangely decorated office, a sheep head with its mouth sewn shut with red fine thread, is glaring at you with a ferocious face...

"What the hell are you looking at!"

A voice full of anger rang in Leon's ear, destroying the terrifying atmosphere.

After the black goat rolled on the carpet several times and failed to right itself, it turned to glare at Leon and "spoke" in a vicious tone:

"Are you not going to help me up yet? When I was still a Great Demon, something as unobservant as you would have been slapped to death by me long ago!"

Great Demon... that black goat? Only an hour has passed, how come you are left with only a head?

"You... hello!"

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

"I just happened to run into an out-of-control infected person, at a hospital three streets away. Is there anyone on duty in the Cleanup Bureau now?"

There's no one! If there were others in the bureau, could you have just broken in like this? They would have been dismantled and killed by that bunch of lunatics long ago!

Just as the black goat rolled its eyes and prepared to continue "speaking" to scold people, Leon, who was proficient in prescribing the right medicine for the illness, hurriedly added:

"As long as you help me find someone! I will buy you cigarettes! A pack of 'Gao Te'! No! Two packs!"

"..."

Two packs... tsk... I am so kind, I have never been able to bear the suffering of the world. Helping you out is not impossible, the problem is...

"Sigh..."

In Leon's nervous gaze, the black goat first sighed, then shook its head with some regret:

"Forget about the deal. I am a demon who keeps his word. If I can't get things done, I will never take benefits. There is no one in the bureau now. Even if I want to help you, I have no way to help."

No one left?

Leon couldn't help but urge upon hearing this:

"Such a big building, how come there isn't even one person on duty?"

"Isn't it all to blame on that red-haired woman?" The black goat said with an unhappy face:

"It's all because she usually does her work too roughly, causing every mission evaluation to be not high. Because she was worried about not passing the year-end review, she sent everyone out last month to boost performance, making the bureau so empty that even mice could run around...

Kid, let me tell you, don't be blinded by her beauty!

Although she is good-looking, not even worse than those pure-blooded succubi, this person is an alcoholic, greedy, petty, and doesn't keep clean. I've even seen her close the office door and secretly pick her toes! This stinky woman is purely a... eh?"

Halfway through the swearing, as if discovering some situation, the black goat tried hard to turn its head to look to the east, then slightly parted its sewn mouth and gave Leon a grin.

"Consider yourself lucky, kid. You can get a performance bonus as soon as you join... Hurry up! Pick me up and hold me. Someone who can do the work is back. I'll take you to find her to settle the matter!

Also, remember the cigarettes you promised me! It must be two packs. If one is missing, I will kill you!"

As long as you can solve this matter, let alone two packs, two boxes are fine!

Hearing that there was a turn for the better, Leon was overjoyed. After bending down to pick up the sheep head, he rushed out of the Cleanup Bureau and ran east for nearly two streets according to its guidance. Finally, at a street corner, he stopped a tall woman covered in bandages.

"You are... hmm... the bureau actually recruited a newcomer."

After exchanging a look with the sheep head in Leon's arms, as if she had received a lot of information directly from it, the tall woman wrapped in bandages smiled and extended her right hand to Leon, her expression kind:

"My name is Auntie Ai Ma. I have been in the Cleanup Bureau for six years. I consider myself quite familiar with the bureau's business. If you need help with work in the future, please feel free to speak up."

"Good... okay..."

When he first stopped this strange woman covered in bandages, Leon thought she would be another weirdo full of "personality" like the black goat, but he didn't expect to hear such a "socialite" opening line.

However... it seems she is quite easy to talk to?

Thinking of the situation at the hospital, Leon immediately suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, shook the bandage woman's hand briefly, and then asked urgently:

"The hospital side..."

"I will go, but not now."

The bandage woman smiled gently and said unhurriedly:

"According to the bureau's four-step action code, 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, according to the victim's situation, preliminarily guess the infected person's ability effects and judge the possible impact;

Next is to find targeted tools and special items, confirm one's own state, and formulate a complete action plan;

Finally, it is to launch an action, try to control or kill the target with the least casualties and the smallest impact, and complete the cleanup work."

Looking at Leon, who was a bit stunned, the bandage woman reminded him in a friendly manner:

"Now that the sun has set, our ability to act will be reduced due to obstructed vision. And after losing the sun's suppression, most anomalies will be more active at night. This is not a good time for action.

In addition, I have just completed a mission that lasted two and a half months. My physical strength and state have reached the limit. I need at least a week of rest to ensure sufficient concentration. It is not suitable to immediately take on a new job with unknown danger.

Therefore, the most correct plan now is for us to return to the Cleanup Bureau first and wait for the Director to come to work tomorrow to transfer this task to her. So we should still..."

"Why are you doing this again..."

Shocked by the other party's professional and even somewhat cold attitude, Leon didn't know what to say for a while. But the sheep head in his arms twisted twice and complained with dissatisfaction:

"Your Director has already gone to Wales County on a business trip and definitely won't be back within three days. Are you still going to wait for her?"

"Let's wait for her to come back."

Looking at Leon, whose expression changed suddenly, the bandage woman named Auntie Ai Ma smiled gently again, with a slight apology in her eyes:

"Looking at your expression... do you have relatives in that hospital?

Sorry, I have a reason to survive no matter what. In a situation where I cannot determine whether it is absolutely safe, I will not act rashly under any circumstances. So please wait for three days!"
