After the event, when the Execution Bureau came to clean up the mess, all that remained was a completely burned corridor.
As for the fully mutated "George," under the flames of the Word Soul King's Blaze, he had turned into charcoal. The blood vessel-like fungi on the surrounding walls and ceiling were also completely purified.
It must be said, to some extent, King's Blaze's "sterilizing" effect was quite effective.
Freya and Susie took the 'seriously injured' Adam to get medical attention, while the other Execution Bureau officers evacuated the civilians and promptly conducted memory wipes.
After hearing the task report, Raymond's expression grew serious, and he personally arrived at the scene.
"Full Draconization."
Raymond gazed at the charcoal remains on the ground, his face filled with concern.
Although it had been burned to a pile of charcoal, he could still faintly make out the dragon bones that remained within the remains.
After a moment of silence, he turned to Chu Zihang and said in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone about what happened here, except for those who already know."
Hearing this, Chu Zihang glanced at him and nodded thoughtfully. "Understood."
The Brooklyn 'Infant Dissection Case' mission was officially over.
However, it seemed to have uncovered something deeper, whether it was the cause behind George's 'Full Draconization' or the repulsive 'mutation.'
Raymond had a vague feeling that this incident was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After sealing George's remains with alchemical equipment to ensure nothing would leak out, the Execution Bureau began to withdraw from the hospital.
As for the remaining aftermath, that would be left to another group to deal with.
At a hospital in Brooklyn, a gas leak caused a massive fire, destroying the third and fourth floors of the inpatient department. Fortunately, no casualties occurred.
Under the operation of the secret society, this incident was eventually reported in the newspapers with this outcome.
After returning to the academy, Raymond immediately submitted the task report related to this mission to the Minister of the Execution Bureau.
At the same time, the remains of George, who had undergone severe "mutations," were sent to the Alchemy Department, hoping to extract some useful information from them.
Freya and Susie were unharmed, so they quickly returned to their studies. As for Chu Zihang, due to being affected by the enemy's unknown "hypnosis" during the mission, he needed some time to recover. He was temporarily resting in the Psychological Department. Adam, however, was the most seriously injured and was recovering in the school's Medical Department.
In the principal's office, the head of the Execution Bureau, Professor Von Schneider, hurriedly pushed open the door.
"Good morning, Professor Schneider," said Hilbert, sitting behind an antique mahogany desk. He didn't seem surprised by Schneider's arrival.
Pouring freshly brewed tea into a fine bone china cup, he gently pushed it toward him. "This is a high-quality Da Hong Pao (Tea Brand) from Wuyi Mountain in China. It has a unique fragrant aroma and is truly a drink not to be missed."
Schneider, with his formal and stern demeanor, sat directly at the desk without acknowledging the tea. He handed over the mission report. "Thank you, but I'll pass. This is the mission report."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work," Hilbert replied, taking the report and flipping through it.
The office was quiet. Schneider remained silent, the only sound coming from the rustling of paper as the report was reviewed.
After a moment, Hilbert finished reading the entire report. He placed it back on the desk and picked up the bone china cup of tea, taking a small sip. A sharp glint flickered briefly in his silver-gray eyes before he set the cup down and calmly asked, "What do you think?"
"Full Draconization isn't that easy," Schneider replied, his eyes sharp as he pointed out the main issue in the report. His gaze was cold, and he sneered.
"A hybrid who has never encountered the truth of the matter suddenly managing to increase their dragon blood purity to the level of a Death Servitor? If anyone could do that, there would be no need to hunt dragons. We might as well surrender right now."
If hybrids could easily surpass the Critical Blood Limit, wouldn't there be "Death Servitors" all over the streets? At that point, perhaps Cassel College should give up on dragon hunting and simply switch sides.
"Have you discovered anything?" Hilbert asked, knowing Schneider never made baseless claims.
"Although King's Blaze's destructive power is strong, we still detected a certain residual genetic drug in his remains," Schneider answered, his tone calm but with a flicker of Hilbertr in his eyes, suggesting the matter was more serious than it seemed. "This genetic drug seems to enhance the dragon blood ratio."
Hilbert's index finger tapped the table lightly, his face expressionless. He nodded slightly, signaling for him to continue.
"I had the Execution Bureau conduct a thorough investigation afterward about this 'George' person, and we found something interesting," Schneider continued. "A person who's extremely reclusive, yet has a very close connection with someone online."
"Did you find the source?" Hilbert asked casually.
"The IP address was masked several times, making it difficult to trace," Schneider replied. "I had 'EVA' check the dark web's underground trading networks. The organization involved in gene drug development is very cautious, and the circulation of these drugs is rare. But we did find a few leads, and many of them point to Japan."
"Japan..."
Hilbert's movement froze for a moment, then he quickly regained his calm and took another sip of his tea. "What do you think?"
"Over the years, the Japanese division has been making bigger moves," Schneider said, furrowing his brow. "Especially the Eight families. It seems like they're hiding something from us."
"That's to be expected. After all, there's never a shortage of Hybrids trying to align themselves with the Dragon Raja."
Hilbert put down his teacup and smiled. "Of course, I'm not talking about the Eight families. But this situation gives us the perfect opportunity to test the waters."
"Who do you plan to send?" Schneider could tell what the older man was thinking.
"The Lionheart Society and the Student Council have been at odds for so long; it's about time it came to an end."
Hilbert smiled faintly, his tone meaningful. "Why not use this mission as a chance for them to settle things once and for all?"
"Caesar and Chu Zihang?" Schneider asked, a bit surprised but agreeing. "When do you want them to go?"
"Let's wait a little longer. There's one more person."
Hilbert slowly stood up and walked to the side of the office bed. Looking outside, he smiled softly.
"Who else?"
Schneider couldn't think of anyone else who could accompany these two on the mission.
"Adam."
Hilbert silver-gray eyes narrowed slightly, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Adam?"
Schneider immediately looked puzzled and asked, "He's just a B-rank student. He almost got killed during this mission. Why do you insist on having him come along?"
"Heh, who knows," Hilbert replied, coming back to his senses. With a mysterious smile, he added, "Think of it as a little test."
