“Mr. Bai Kui, Siegel has been brought here,”

At the doorway, Thomas’s voice drew Casio’s gaze.

He quietly looked over and suddenly saw the majestic silhouette behind Thomas. This was a strong man, no, a tough guy. His entire upper body was symmetrically muscular, with bulging muscles visible beneath the Hunter’s uniform. At the neckline, there was a dense collection of scars covering the surface of his bronze skin.

There were also scars on his face, nearly disfiguring him. But those calm eyes were as steadfast as a bear’s, exuding a very stable aura.

“Very good…”

Casio internally expressed his admiration. Perhaps his aesthetic was somewhat unique, but this Hunter named Siegel really made a good impression on Casio.

Especially those muscles, which reminded him somewhat of his own prime.

“Master of the Clinic,”

Siegel followed Thomas over and began by showing a respectful attitude. It seemed as though he had been eagerly anticipating the new master’s arrival.

Casio’s eyes slowly swept over Siegel, “Not bad, much better than that waste of space Mani. If your attitude and ability continue to satisfy me, then you might soon remove ‘acting’ from your title of deputy director…”

Upon hearing Casio’s words, Siegel shook his head.

“Sir, my strength is insufficient. If you have a better candidate, please use that person. My mentor once held the position of deputy director of the Clinic as well. He said that any Hunter who takes over the deputy director’s duties must be fully aware of their own capabilities. That’s because the two deputy directors of the Clinic are actually like the director’s pair of swords, his weapons. And a weapon needs to be sufficiently robust and sharp. Otherwise, it will encounter major troubles during tough and grueling battles. I do not wish to cause you any trouble…”

After hearing this, Casio’s expression revealed a hint of interest.

“Who is your mentor?”

“Otto, the deputy director before last,” Siegel said. “Currently, he’s in the Wild Beast’s Den. Lucky to have avoided a disaster…”

“Oh? Could you introduce me?”

Casio asked casually, as he was in need of some management talent.

“I’m afraid that might be difficult, I can’t even communicate with him now…”

Siegel explained, “In fact, my mentor Otto is locked up in the Wild Beast’s Den as a prisoner. His problem with Wild Beast Transformation has become very serious, so much so that it has begun to impact his cognitive judgment. The only thing he still remembers is that he is a jailer of the Wild Beast’s Den, tasked with ensuring that not a single prisoner around him escapes…”

“There have been several prisoner uprisings, and it was him who helped us suppress them…” Siegel displayed a bitter smile. Although Otto was his mentor, the fact that a prisoner was needed to help quell an uprising in the Wild Beast’s Den was enough proof of the Clinic’s weakness. That’s why he had been so eager for the arrival of a new director.

Casio listened in silence, feeling that both Siegel and his mentor seemed to be those who genuinely loved the Hunters Association Clinic and other such organizations.

It was like someone who had worked in the same place for a long time, whose life’s struggles and efforts were all spent in this one place. Naturally, they develop a sense of guardianship.

“How many of you are there?” Casio asked.

“Fifteen, all currently inside the Wild Beast’s Den.”

Siegel began to answer as he started to lead the way for the two of them.

After about seven or eight minutes of winding paths, Casio, with the aid of Siegel’s explanations, came to understand a lot about the Clinic. First of all, Wild Beastification, like that of Siegel’s master Otto, is a fairly common occurrence within the Clinic. In fact, it could be said that the likelihood of hunters within the Clinic undergoing Wild Beastification is much higher than the average probability across all branches of the Hunters Association.

The reason being, the Clinic specifically targets the issue of Wild Beastification within the Dark Hunt Organization. That is, the psychological barrier of turning against one’s comrades is a hurdle to clear. Furthermore, those who undergo Wild Beastification are usually hunters of no small strength, which makes them even more troublesome after their transformation.

The degree of danger is much higher than the average mission’s risk as assessed by the Association.

The severe injuries of the Shadow Hunter Soul Sickle, number four, serve as the perfect example.

Moreover, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Frequent confrontations with hunters undergoing Wild Beastification inevitably lead to a risk of infection.

In his conversation with Siegel, Casio heard about a fact that had also been mentioned during his chat with the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism. That is, the mission that left Soul Sickle, the former head of the Clinic, severely injured was not a success! In other words, the highly Wild Beastified hunter had escaped. It was very likely to seek revenge on the Clinic, possibly attacking a branch of the Clinic.

It has remained inactive for now, partly possibly to heal the severe wounds inflicted by the siege, and partly perhaps to complete the final stage of Dark Biological Transformation. But nearly half a year has passed, and the Mission Target code-named “Blood Shark” is very likely to reappear soon.

And this issue is something that Casio, having assumed his new role, was going to have to deal with.

Beyond these matters, Siegel also spoke about the situation in the Wild Beast’s Nest. This place is the Clinic’s Headquarters, which once housed many experts and naturally held the most dangerous Criminals in the sturdiest Cages. The Wild Beast’s Nest is full of prisoners who are in the stage of Wild Beastification but not yet fully transformed. Among them are Shadow Hunters, of course, those who are aged. Some were captured and brought here, while others came willingly.

According to Siegel, the longest-serving inmate in the Wild Beast’s Nest is an old hunter who has lasted ten years on willpower alone. He voluntarily entered the Wild Beast’s Nest after sensing that he was entering the stage of Wild Beastification.

From ten years ago to the present, he still maintains that last bit of sanity. He sits in meditation like an Ascetic, not eating, not drinking, not speaking, not moving.

Of course, there are others like Siegel’s master Otto.

Besides these two, there are many other uncontrollable and dangerous beings.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if all the prisoners from the Wild Beast’s Tide were set loose all at once, the entire Hunters Association would be in chaos. At least more than half of its Forces would have to be devoted to dealing with this issue, and it would still be hard to handle perfectly.

Upon hearing this, an idea suddenly struck Casio.

Since the Clinic had suffered heavy losses in its last Task, nearly decimated to one-tenth of its original size and in need of a large number of reinforcements, why not turn attention to the Wild Beast’s Nest and release some of the usable prisoners?

These prisoners are strong enough, owing to their extensive Dark Biological Transformation.

These prisoners are fierce enough, muddled by the impact of Disasters.

These prisoners are ruthless enough, originally seasoned hunters.

Instead of slowly rotting away in prison, it made more sense to pull them out and utilize their remaining usefulness. A regular head of the Clinic, of course, couldn’t do such a thing. After all, each one was a ticking Bomb, and even for someone like Siegel’s master Otto, only a single thought remained. Once removed from the prison environment and no longer feeling like jailers, they might violently revolt.

But the current head of the Clinic was Casio, the owner of the Wisdom Rune, an expert in eradicating Disasters. The likes of Krogg and other old-timers had given good reviews. Although the prisoners in the Wild Beast’s Nest were already in the stage of Wild Beastification, continuously sliding deeper into madness, Casio believed he could rejuvenate them, a good slap to the face was always able to snap a few back to sense.

If the progression of hunters’ Wild Beastification stages could deepen, by logical deduction, it wasn’t impossible for it to be reversed, right? Perhaps the bodily Dark Biological Transformation was irreversible, but at least some sanity could still be saved. To Casio, having hunters with monstrous bodies as subordinates was acceptable. As long as they were useful and could fight, that was all that mattered.

Besides, he also wanted to quietly show off this strategic capability to the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism, a brazen lure. Casio thought that no one in a Force plagued by Disasters like the Dark Hunt Organization would turn down a doctor who could heal and remove Disasters, even if that doctor was a bit robust and had brutal methods. And when most of them acknowledged him, it would naturally pave the way for him to push aside that guy in the suit. Even the Holy Light Hunter, Dilixia, might voluntarily step down and let Casio take over his duties as a holy hunter.
