Are you infected?

The hidden quest required Silas to eliminate all the Shifters and prevent them from infecting anyone else, turning them into more of those creatures. Silas had killed every last Shifter on his own, including the one that had been attacking Vic. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he had failed the quest.

If all the Shifters were dead, the only plausible explanation was that someone had already been infected. The only people present were Silas and Vic. Silas knew without a doubt that he wasn't infected—the system had cured him. That left only one possibility: Vic.

Silas shifted his gaze toward Vic, who stood a few meters away, panting heavily and wiping beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. His expression was one of exhaustion and relief, completely unaware of the scrutiny he was under.
