When Adrian or more specifically Sirius dealt with the thugs, a system notification appeared before Adrian's eyes.
[You have initiated the secret quest "Hidden Darkness".]
*QUEST NOTIFICATION*
Hidden Darkness
Difficulty: B
Description: A group of acolytes are hiding in the depths of the woods. They resort to human sacrifices for their god. Find them and put a stop to their ploy to get a vessel for their god.
Duration: 10 days
Reward: Unknown
Failure: More kidnappings and Whiterock Village safety will diminish.
Adrian was not shocked by the quest because Grandma Theresa leaving the infirmary was not expected by Adrian. She also told him about the state of the boy. Adrian must have already activated the quest when Saena healed the little boy.
