Kill the Sun



As soon as Wyntor entered, Jonathan and Kiara became anxious again.

Wyntor had a powerful presence, and he was the leader of their enemy.

Their lives would be in his hands.

When Wyntor saw Kiara and Jonathan, his expression didn't change.

It was almost like he had expected them to be here.

Wyntor walked up to them, and the anxiety of Jonathan and Kiara intensified.

"Let's talk inside," Wyntor told the three of them as he walked past them towards one of the Containment Units.

Nick gestured to follow Wyntor.

Jonathan and Kiara became scared.

Why were they going to a Specter?!

Were they about to get sacrificed?!

When they entered the Containment Unit, Kiara and Jonathan became terrified.

There was a horrifying coffin walking around in the Containment Unit on white bandages!

The two of them had seen a couple of Specters before, but seeing a new Specter was always a terrifying experience.

Especially since they didn't know what that Specter could do.

"Perfect timing," Nick said.

Nick walked up to the coffin.

BANG!

And kicked it.

The coffin hit the wall, and all its bandages went back inside.

Kiara and Jonathan took deep breaths.

Sure enough, Nick was terrifying!

BANG!

Then, Nick dumped the heavy corpse of Stephen onto the ground.

Naturally, Nick wouldn't forget such a valuable corpse.

After a couple of seconds, the bandages slowly came out of the coffin again, and they quickly found Stephen's corpse.

Slowly, the wound around the corpse.

And then, the coffin opened.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Kiara and Jonathan became absolutely terrified at that point and didn't dare to move.

This was the most horrifying scream they had ever heard in their lives!

A moment later, the corpse was consumed by the coffin, and the lid closed again.

"That should keep it busy for a while," Nick said. "Sad that Possession Specters don't grow more powerful."

Nick turned to look at Jonathan and Kiara, seeing that they were terrified of the coffin.

"That's all it can do."

The two looked at Nick like they had just been pulled out of their thoughts.

"What?" Kiara asked.

"That's all it can do," Nick said. "It screams and eats corpses. It looks scary, but it's actually very weak. A good kick will scare it and shut it up."

The two of them looked back at the coffin, which wasn't moving anymore.

That was it?

"When it has food, it just lies on the ground. When it doesn't, it searches around. As long as you don't stand still while it tries to jump onto you, nothing will happen to you," Nick explained.

"It's called the Screaming Coffin, and it barely requires any maintenance. I'm the one dealing with its food supply."

The two of them calmed down for multiple reasons.

First of all, the coffin didn't seem as scary anymore.

Second, the fact that Nick explained how to work with the Specter meant that they most likely weren't about to get killed.

"Tell me what happened," Wyntor said as he looked at Nick.

Nick nodded and narrated the day he had.

Naturally, since Jonathan and Kiara were here, Nick didn't explain how he managed to sneak up on them.lightsnovel

When Wyntor heard about the young girl, he didn't seem surprised, which shocked Jonathan and Kiara.

It was almost like Wyntor had expected something like this.

"I was wondering how Ardum managed to pay a level two Zephyx Extractor with that money sink in his facility," Wyntor said. "That explains it."

"Money sink?" Jonathan asked nervously.

Wyntor glanced at Jonathan evenly. "The Dung Heap," he said.

This confused Jonathan. "Why is that a money sink?"

"It eats food," Wyntor said evenly. "Food is scarce and very expensive. The Dung Heap probably makes less money than this coffin."

Jonathan and Kiara were quite surprised when they heard that.

"Seems like Ardum didn't tell you," Wyntor commented.

The two of them looked at each other with complex expressions.

"No, he didn't," Kiara said, turning back to Wyntor.

Wyntor nodded and started to break down what the Dung Heap was most likely producing and costing.

After about five minutes of explaining everything, Kiara and Jonathan realized that the situation was really dire.

lightsnοvεl The Dung Heap could probably only pay for about three Extractors.

Then, Wyntor told them about the other two Specters of Cycle, which surprised them.

"Didn't you say you had no spy in Cycle?" Kiara asked Nick.

Wyntor snorted. "I don't need a spy for that. Some of you carelessly told the normal staff about the Specters, and I simply had to bribe them for the information."

"When Extractors can't keep their mouths shut, it's easy for the enemy to get all this information."

At that moment, Jonathan gulped nervously.

He had talked with one of the guards about the Specters he was working with.

Jonathan was most likely part of how Wyntor found out about all of this.

Wyntor continued breaking down what Cycle was most likely earning, and it didn't look good at all.

Cycle was earning about as much as Dark Dream.

Yet, their rent was several times higher.

They had double the number of Extractors.

They had far more normal staff.

"Depending on what you earn, Cycle should only make between 50,000 to 150,000 credits per month, and that's assuming that the Chief Zephyx Extractor and Ardum don't get paid," Wyntor said.

"Nevertheless, I doubt that Ardum was paying you well."

Jonathan and Kiara looked at each other.

Actually, they were pretty happy with what they were earning.

"How much were you earning?" Wyntor asked.

The two of them became uncomfortable.

However, they didn't have a choice and answered.

"I'm a Late Newbie," Jonathan said. "Because of that, I was earning about 6,000 credits per month."

"I'm a Mid Newbie," Kiara said. "I'm earning about 5,000 credits per month."

Wyntor didn't seem surprised, but Nick felt shocked.

That was barely anything!

"That's what Trevor and Jenny make in five days!" Nick said in shock.

Jonathan's and Kiara's eyes widened in shock as they looked at Nick.

"What?" Jonathan asked.

Nick nodded. "Our Extractors get 10% of what they produce, and the Dreamer produces around ten grams of Zephyx per shift on average."

This shocked the two of them.

"The Dreamer is producing that much Zephyx?!" Kiara shouted in shock.

Nick nodded.

"It produces about 30 grams of Zephyx a day," Nick said.

Kiara and Jonathan took a while to come to terms with that.
