The police station at Silent Hill was situated right at the center of the city, atop a small hill with a height difference from its surroundings, and adjacent to it was the fire department. Most importantly, it was only 20 meters away from the ancient tomb excavation site—separated only by a dyke-like distance.
This gave Malin quite a headache—according to Jiaxi Sheringham from the Royal Special Investigation Department's Fourth Action Division, the harmful oddity should be in the basement. If Malin wasn't mistaken, when he was beneath the ancient tomb, he might have been less than fifty meters from that painting.
Thankfully, it was just a painting. If it had been another type of proactive harmful oddity, say, a piece of armor that could move on its own—uh, not talking about Mira here, but the legacy full-body armor of the Level 1 Drurgen family.
This full-body armor came with a great sword and was an extremely dangerous proactive harmful oddity.
