Kill the Sun-Chapter 78 – Trevor

For a couple of hours, Nick just watched the motionless coffin.

It was almost like it was just a normal coffin.

"Nick, time to work."

Wyntor's voice came out of the speakers inside the Containment Unit.

"Is it already six a.m.?" Nick asked.

"About to," Wyntor answered.

"Sure," Nick said. "Would be nice if you could keep a watch over the Screaming Coffin. It doesn't seem to do anything while it has a corpse inside of it, but I want to know when it actually starts to move around again. Don't worry, it is very slow, and you can easily retreat from it if it tries anything."

"Should be fine as long as you take a look inside every hour."

"Sure," Wyntor said. "I can do that."

By now, Nick had already opened the door and walked outside.

"By the way," Nick said, looking at Wyntor. "Can you also tell the others about the Screaming Coffin? They don't need to work with it, but they should know that we have a second Specter."

Wyntor furrowed his brows. "I don't want to tell everyone about every Specter."

"Why not?" Nick asked.

"Zephyx Manufacturers often send spies into other Zephyx Manufacturers, and after knowing everything about all the Specters, they often steal them."

"I will tell them that we have a second Specter, but I won't tell them any information about it. After all, they don't need to work with it, and it won't break out."

"Since it is a Possession Specter, it's very easy to take care of the Screaming Coffin. We just have to get corpses and dump them in here when it's done eating," Wyntor said.

Nick also furrowed his brows.

Jenny and Trevor were Nick's employees, and he trusted them.

He didn't like it that Wyntor wasn't telling them everything.

"If you think so," Nick said with a shrug, moving past him.

Obviously, Nick wasn't happy, but he wouldn't go against Wyntor's orders.

"Thanks," Wyntor said with a nod.

"Sure," Nick said absentmindedly as he walked over to the Dreamer's new Containment Unit.

The Dreamer's new Containment Unit was 3x3x3 meters big, which was a bit smaller than its old Containment Unit.

However, just by looking at it, one could tell that this one was way more expensive. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

First of all, there were no visible wires or pipes.

Second of all, the Containment Unit was just a solid, clean, even, and black cube.

It almost looked like a cube of obsidian.

Well, except for the top.

The ceiling of the Containment Unit was made of a mysterious material that had some properties of glass.

From above the Containment Unit, one could see through the ceiling clearly, but when inside, one couldn't look out.

If this were a simple one-way mirror, it would be the other way around.

With a one-way mirror, the side that let the light enter would not be able to see through it, while the side that received the light could see through it.

This glass-like surface was also one of the biggest reasons why this Containment Unit was so expensive.

First of all, the people outside could see what was going on in the Containment Unit.

Second of all, the surface was extremely hard.

Third, the Zephyx Manufacturer didn't need to waste money on artificial light anymore.

Sadly, there was one problem with that part of the Containment Unit.

It couldn't isolate Force Specters.

But that was a small price to pay for all the conveniences.

This model was probably the one that was used and sold the most amongst Zephyx Manufacturers.

It was pretty cheap for a Containment Unit, could contain an Adolescent Specter, and was pretty small and sturdy.

This model was used to basically contain every Hatchling and Adolescent Specter that wasn't a Force Specter.

When Nick reached the black cube, he jumped up and landed on top of the Containment Unit.

Naturally, when Nick landed, it made quite a loud sound, but the Dreamer didn't seem to care as it continued to look at Trevor.

In front of the Dreamer lay a man with long black hair.

The man was around 185 centimeters tall and quite muscular with a chiseled jawline.

The Extractor uniform he was wearing made him seem even more impressive.

In a way, the man looked like someone who had come out of a fantasy.

That was Trevor.

Naturally, with his looks, Trevor had it extremely easy to make friends and pick up girls, which was also why Wyntor had chosen him over Jenny for any sensitive mission.

In a way, Trevor was a perfect spy or secret agent since he could get close to anyone easily.

Men wanted to be his friend, while women wanted to be his girlfriend.

When Nick saw that everything looked fine in the Containment Unit, he jumped down from the roof and walked in.

"Time to swap," Nick said.

The Dreamer slowly turned its head to look at Nick.

Even though Nick was used to working with the Dreamer, he still felt nervous in front of it.

Compared to the Screaming Coffin, the Dreamer was many times worse since it was actually dangerous to Nick.

Sure, the Screaming Coffin looked real scary and spooky when it screamed and crawled around with its white bandages, but the Dreamer could actually really kill Nick.

The Dreamer took some steps back, and Nick walked up to Trevor.

"Hey, time to wake up," Nick said.

However, Nick didn't touch or move Trevor.

Trevor had said that he hated touching other people or getting touched by them.

After a bit, Trevor slowly opened his eyes with a groan.

"Is it time already?" his deep voice said as he slowly sat up.

"Yep," Nick said. "Good work."

"Easy as pie, boss," Trevor said as he slowly stood up.

Then, Trevor stretched without any hurry and waved at the Dreamer. "Good work today," he told it.

The Dreamer didn't show any reaction.

"Can you answer me at least once?" Trevor asked with annoyance.

The Dreamer didn't do anything.

"Anyway, time for me to head home. Have fun, boss!" Trevor said, passing Nick.

"Trevor, go talk to Wyntor," Nick said.

Trevor stopped and turned to Nick with a worried look. "Am I in trouble?"

"No," Nick said with a laugh. "I caught a new Specter yesterday. The other Containment Unit is now occupied."

Trevor looked with surprise at Nick. "You caught another Specter?"

Nick nodded. "Wyntor is going to tell you everything you need to know."

"Oh, wow. Sure, I'll head there right now," Trevor said.

While Trevor walked out of the Containment Unit, Nick sat down in one of the corners and closed his eyes.

As always, the Dreamer slowly walked up to him.

And a minute later, Nick fell asleep.
