Kill the Sun

Chapter 160 Chapter 160 – Teaching

Wyntor sent the two of them out to get their families to come here and told them that they would be working with the Dreamer tomorrow.

Depending on their result, one of them would take over Nick\'s shift.

As the Chief Zephyx Extractor, Nick didn\'t need to work with a Specter to earn money.

Additionally, Nick also needed time to find new Specters and to manage all the Extractors.

Jonathan and Kiara left to get their families after thanking Wyntor.

After the two of them left, Wyntor and Nick talked about their future plans for a while.

With Stephen dead and two of Cycle\'s employees gone, Cycle had just barely enough employees to keep their Specters.

Now, they only needed to deal with one more person.

Eventually, Wyntor went home while Nick waited for Kiara and Jonathan to arrive with their families.

As soon as the families arrived, Nick showed them where they could stay.

Naturally, the little girl was part of Kiara\'s family.

By now, Trevor had woken up since his shift was about to start, and Nick introduced him to everyone.

Finally, at ten p.m., Nick left Dark Dream to get something to eat.

Not many places were open at this hour, but Nick could still find something.

An hour later, Nick fell into bed.

After waking up the next day, Nick got some food and went to Dark Dream.

It was silent.

The families of the Zephyx Extractors had all been sleeping since it was so early.

However, as soon as the door opened, a couple of them woke up and looked at Nick.

After all, sleeping in such an open space made people nervous, and their sleep was light.

Sadly, there wasn\'t much they could do.

At least it was only a temporary arrangement.

Jonathan was one of the people who got woken up by Nick, and he quickly stood up when he saw him.

"Wake Kiara up as well and get something to eat," Nick whispered to Jonathan. "In an hour, you guys are going to work with the Dreamer."

Jonathan nodded and went over to Kiara.

Meanwhile, Nick went to the Containment Units and retrieved the gathered Zephyx.

And then, Nick waited for the hour to pass.

As he looked around the warehouse, Nick felt like Dark Dream had transformed into a shelter.

There were almost ten people sleeping in here.

Things were getting crowded.

\'We really need a new place,\' Nick thought.

Eventually, it was time to go to work.

Jonathan and Kiara weren\'t in the mood to eat something since too much had happened yesterday, but they still had to work.

When the two of them walked to the big Containment Unit, they gulped.

Coming into contact with a new Specter was always scary, and they were quite sure that this Specter wasn\'t as harmless as the Screaming Coffin.

After entering the Containment Unit, the two of them saw the Dreamer.

Right now, the Dreamer was looking intently at Jonathan and Kiara while Trevor lay in front of it.

When Kiara and Jonathan looked into the Dreamer\'s eyes, they both took deep breaths.

It felt hollow and creepy.

Its Aura was different from Cycle\'s Specters.

The Dung Heap was essentially just a rotting pile of stink, which didn\'t make it very scary, while the other two Specters were more direct with their Aura.

In comparison, the Dreamer felt threatening but in a subtle way.

However, it wasn\'t as scary as their Specters, actually.

The Lover looked horrifying, and the Bleeding Lady put terror into every watcher.

But the Dreamer just seemed creepy.

"These are two new employees," Nick told the Dreamer. "They are Zephyx Extractors and already have experience in working with other Specters. Depending on how they do, they will be working with you from now on."

Naturally, the Dreamer showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Can it understand us?" Kiara asked.

The Dreamer didn\'t look at her.

"It feeds on mentality," Nick said. "It can understand us."

After that, Nick walked over and woke up Trevor.

"Morning already?" Trevor asked with a yawn.

"Yep," Nick said with a smile.

Then, Trevor turned to Jonathan and Kiara. "Don\'t worry. Working with the Dreamer is easy. You just gotta dream a bit."

Trevor laughed a bit before walking out.

"You two will do my shift today," Nick said. "You both get four hours each and if you produce enough Zephyx, you get to work with the Dreamer from now on."

The two of them nodded.

"Jonathan, you go first," Nick said.

Jonathan took a deep breath and walked over to the Dreamer.

"Just lay down or sit down somewhere," Nick said. "The Dreamer will put you to sleep."

Jonathan nodded, took another deep breath, and sat down near the wall.

When Jonathan saw the Dreamer walk over to him, his fight or flight instinct kicked in, and he started to sweat profusely.

Being in a vulnerable position in front of a Specter was a terrifying experience.

However, Jonathan had worked with scarier Specters, and he didn\'t panic.

After a bit, Jonathan felt his mind shifting, and a minute later, he was out.

Kiara watched nervously as Jonathan\'s head lost its strength and sank.

"And that\'s it," Nick said. "Four hours later, we\'ll wake him up, and you will take his place."

Kiara gulped and left the Containment Unit with Nick.

Nick talked with Wyntor for a while before he talked with Jenny and Trevor a bit more.

Four hours later, Nick checked the amount of Zephyx that Jonathan had produced in four hours.

\'Five grams,\' Nick thought with a nod. \'About average.\'

Kiara and Nick entered the Containment Unit.

Nick told Kiara to wake Jonathan up and to take his place.

When Jonathan woke up, he was confused, but he quickly realized what had happened.

"Huh, that was easy," Jonathan commented. "Easier than working with the Bleeding Lady and far easier than working with the Lover."

Eventually, Kiara also fell asleep, and four hours later, Nick checked the Zephyx she had produced.

\'Six grams,\' Nick thought. \'I guess it makes sense to turn this from three eight-hour shifts into four six-hour shifts.\'

Nick planned a bit and nodded.

From this day forward, all four employees would be working with the Dreamer each day.

And for the first time, Nick had time to actually do his actual job since he didn\'t need to work with the Dreamer anymore.

Nick\'s team had grown from two to four.
