Shahalian personally undertook an inspection. The result gave her a headache.
“You crazy bastards…”
The situation at the research facility was completely different from what was known outside. Those in charge had tried to hide it, but the circumstances unfolding told a different story. Lately, strange things had been happening at this facility.
Guards were going missing in a chain of disappearances.
“So embezzlement wasn’t the only problem… Are you telling me no bodies, no bloodstains, no traces at all were found?”
The guard captain trembled under Shahalian’s sharp questioning.
“Yes, Acting Kagan. Not a single piece of evidence.”
“Damn it…”
Shahalian shut her mouth tightly. The other beastmen were terrified, calling it the work of ghosts, but her instincts told her the culprit was a magical beast.
‘A slime… If it’s an amorphous magical beast, it might be possible.’ To the common folk, slimes were only known as puny monsters from children’s tales, but reality was different.
It had neither teeth nor claws, yet it could dissolve a beastman’s body, and blunt force couldn’t kill it. They were supposedly sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, but if mutation had overcome even that…
‘Pathetic. Can’t even keep a single thing under control and let it become a headache.’ Shahalian sighed inwardly, careful not to let her subordinates hear.
