Chapter 18: 0014 Turn back again (Two in One)_3
"Turns out things really fell apart this time. In the end, I probably needed his help to ask for reinforcements. When the director heard about it in three days, who knew how he would ridicule me..."
After shaking her head helplessly, the bandaged woman, feeling rather gloomy, was too lazy to say more. She closed her eyes, choosing to refuse communication. However, the other side wasn't satisfied; besides the chubby director, they brought in a few other doctors and nurses, standing coldly outside the hospital room and mocking her one by one:
"Do you think you're smart? You're utterly stupid!"
"There are over five hundred people here. Once I've fully absorbed them, my power will get even stronger!"
"Heh, don't you want to know who's targeting your Purification Bureau?"
"Not afraid to tell you! The one preparing to strike against you is a great True God!"
Hm?
Hearing this, the bandaged woman, who was prepared to mute for three days and wait for her teammates' rescue, trembled her eyelid, feeling immense joy in her heart.
*This guy was really... dumber than she had expected! Spouting off about his range of abilities willy-nilly was one thing, but revealing who was backing him so carelessly? Honestly, if the True God who chose him found out how stupid he was, they would probably want to descend and kill him directly, right?*
Unaware that his intelligence had plummeted to rock bottom in the bandaged woman's mind, the "Chubby Director" looked down from above at his opponent, half-embedded into the floor tiles. He raised both arms in excitement, making a gesture as if to embrace the sun, then enthusiastically declared:
"Listen up, stupid woman! My God was born from the chaos..."
Just as the bandaged woman perked up her ears, fully concentrated and ready to eavesdrop on this incredibly important intelligence, something strange happened. The expressions on the faces of a dozen or so doctors and nurses before her froze simultaneously, and as if receiving some command, they all fell to the ground at once, while her own lower half, previously bound to the floor, was bizarrely "spat" out.
When she looked up in complete confusion, a piercing sonic boom echoed from the rooftop of the opposite mall building...
"Bang!"

*Kid, that's quite some aim!*
Seeing the dim soul on the sixth floor of the hospital extinguish in an instant, Black Goat smacked his lips enviously, then cheerfully praised:
"This was almost three hundred meters, and you managed to settle it with one shot. You might have a talent for shooting!"
Talent... that was definitely not it. The reason this shot found its target was half because the bandaged woman had already adjusted the position for him, greatly reducing the difficulty of aiming, and the other half was the boost from his enhancements.
Leon shook his head silently, indicating it was just good luck, then looked up at his badge slot. Two gray-black glowing badges had just dimmed.
The work efficiency boost from [Probationary Worker], combined with the accuracy enhancement from [Shooting Novice], seemed to have an effect greater than two.
In the instant before he fired, both badges activated at once. His hand instinctively pressed slightly, raising the gun barrel by about two millimeters.
And with that tiny bit of elevation, what might have only injured the target ended up being a swift kill!
As for how he could be sure who the target was...
*This Infector wasn't too smart this time.*
After regretfully glancing at the spot where the evil soul had dissipated, Black Goat said with some amusement:
*This fool might not have realized, when he controlled others, the souls of the controlled would resonate with his own completely. If he had done it just once, it would have been fine. Even if he focused only on souls dark at heart, it wouldn't be easy to pick him out from among these six or seven hundred people.*
"But he kept controlling them over and over and even made those people surround Emma... Senior, creating a bunch of souls with identical resonance. That was a bit too conspicuous."
Picking up where Black Goat left off, Leon, recalling that inexplicably amusing scene, couldn't help but press his lips together while seriously adding:
"Once the souls with matching resonance were identified, the only one who hadn't gone to the fourth floor was naturally the real Infector... Oh, I remember you said the Purification Bureau has performance evaluations too, right?"
"Yes! And there's bonus rewards as well."
Black Goat nodded repeatedly in response, and judging by its excited demeanor, if it had more than just a head, it might have happily given Leon a thumbs-up.
"You've only been on the job for three hours, and under my guidance, you successfully identified and eliminated the Infector, even rescuing the old employee who was trapped. The reward will definitely be significant!
And, hahaha! The way I cooperated with you all was clean and efficient this time. Even if that red-haired woman is usually nasty, she might have to treat me a bit better, right?"
