There is a legend in Lungmen.
On dark nights, a nonhuman creature disguised in a white cloak roams through the shadows. Anyone it discovers is attacked by the monster, made to experience the terror and torment of tentacles wrapping around their entire body, tightening, and choking them.
At the end, the victims discover in horror that they have permanently lost a part of their body, such as their horns, scales, saliva, feathers, or wallet.
“You don't understand. These are all precious medicinal ingredients that can cure diseases!”
The tentacled monster Senluo, who claims to be a veterinarian, is happily boiling strange parts of Operators into medicinal concoctions and sludge today, saving lives and healing the wounded as always.
I recommend just reading the actual story. I'm truly terrible at writing blurbs.
Anyway, this is a snarky little story about a monster disguised as a veterinarian and the Infected redeeming each other, facing the past, and creating the future.
