St. Defiel Central Hospital
Deep into the night
The Scarlet Doctors and contracted nurses who had just completed their shifts noticed an unusual sight as they left the hospital. The director's office, which should have been dark and vacant by now, was emitting a bright glow.
The laughter of the Duchess, who was also the chief director, could even be heard from within the office.
This peculiar laughter, along with the delicious scent wafting from the room, attracted a large number of vampire bats, which hung neatly in various corners of the hospital.
These vampire bats were not wild, but were bred and kept by the hospital in a cave behind the premises as "active blood packs".
The blood stored in the bats' bodies could maintain its optimum activity and temperature for an extended period of time.
Under the control of the Scarlet Doctors, the bats could directly infuse blood into patients suffering from blood loss—quite convenient indeed.
