?280 Chapter 280 – Office

Due to the Shadow Shroud, it was impossible to see Nick's expression, but he was very nervous right now.

Specters couldn't feel empathy, and their own gain was their highest priority.

Even more, many Specters were completely insane.

The Empath and the Bleeding Lady were good examples.

It was very possible that the Specter would immediately attack Nick after he freed it.

Nick watched as the Specter slowly and carefully moved through the hole. fr(e)enovelkiss.com

Nick's heart rate increased, and he was ready to strike at a moment's notice.

After moving through the hole, the Specter slowly moved to the wall of the light shaft.

And then, it just waited.

Scratch, scratch.

It scratched the wall twice with one of its right feet.

Nick nodded.

"Good to have you on board," he said. "First, I need to find a good place to exit. I'll need your help in creating an opening for me."

The next moment, Nick turned into black smoke again, but he kept looking at the Specter.

Nick knew that the Specter didn't know about his abilities, but he still felt nervous when he was in his most vulnerable form in front of a Specter.

Luckily, the Specter didn't do anything.

Nick slowly floated upwards and entered the light layer.

Crkcrkcrkcrk.

The spider was quickly and quietly following behind Nick, only the sounds of its scratchy feet audible.

Nick kept looking back at the Specter from time to time, but it wasn't doing anything suspicious.

He was glad that the Specter was small enough to fit into the light shaft.

Nick directly flew towards one of the offices on the edge of the hallway.

When Nick had searched for an opening earlier, he had found this office.

When they reached a good spot above the office, Nick created a circle with his smoke body.

The Specter understood what Nick meant and moved into the middle.

After putting its eight feet on the ground…

SHING!

It quickly rotated in place, and a perfect circular cut was made.

The Specter rapidly grabbed the loose piece of ceiling and pulled it back into the light layer.

Then, Nick moved through the hole.

Since it was so big, Nick moved very quickly, and he didn't even need to use any Zephyx.

Naturally, there were no people in the office except for Nick.

Nick became corporeal again and looked through the papers in the office.

"Give me a second. Maybe there's something valuable here," he said.

The Specter just climbed through the hole and stopped on the ceiling of the office.

For about a minute, Nick searched through different files and folders.

By looking at the manner of documents and the names on them, Nick could tell where he was.

It was the office of a team leader.

The person in question was either a Peak John or an Initial Veteran.

Eventually, Nick found something very valuable to him.

A map!

A map of this entire building!

The first thing Nick did was to check up on the Specter he had broken out.

"Wait, you're the Grey Room?" Nick asked.

Scratch.

The Specter's right leg scratched.

"That means you're a Peak Adolescent," Nick said. "I didn't expect them to keep you in such a cheap Containment Unit."

The Specter didn't answer.

"Are you confident in quickly taking down a Peak level two Extractor very quickly, even with their Barrier active?"

Scratch, scratch.

Surprisingly, the Grey Room scratched once with one of its left and once with one of its right legs.

"Does that mean it depends?" Nick asked.

Right leg scratch.

"What if you get the drop on them?"

Right leg scratch.

"And if it's a direct battle?"

Left leg scratch.

"Okay, understood," Nick said as he looked back at the map.

Nick could see all the Containment Units with all the Specters on the map.

This map was amazing!

According to the map, the Spartans had ten Hatchlings and eight Adolescents.

There were also many empty Containment Units.

'Shouldn't they have an Adult?' Nick thought with furrowed brows as he looked through the map.

Surprisingly, Nick couldn't find a level three Specter anywhere on the map.

However, there was one Containment Unit completely painted in red.

Nick assumed that this was the Containment Unit for the Adult and that the team leader didn't have the authority to know any details.

Sadly, he couldn't be sure.

Nick pocketed the map and grabbed a couple more documents that seemed interesting.

He would take them with him so that Wyntor could look at them.

The next moment, Nick turned towards the Specter.

"I want to know what kind of Specter the red Containment Unit has," Nick said, pointing at the red spot on the map.

"After that, we're going to scout the surroundings and cause some chaos."

The Grey Room just scratched the wall once.

Nick nodded and turned into fog again before entering the light layer again.

Naturally, the Grey Room followed Nick.

While Nick was traveling towards the red Containment Unit, he kept looking at different rooms and offices.

About two minutes later, Nick and the Grey Room arrived above the red Containment Unit. 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Compared to the Containment Unit housing the Grey Room, this one was actually one of the expensive ones.

Instead of only having a small window, the entire ceiling of this Containment Unit was made of glass.

This would usually allow people from the outside to see the entire Containment Unit, giving them valuable intel about the inside.

After all, what if there was a dangerous Specter in there that waited above the entrance to kill any Extractor that entered?

However, some Manufacturers didn't care about that functionality and simply shoved the Containment Units below a wall.

Dark Dream was one of these Manufacturers.

When Nick arrived above the Containment Unit, he looked inside.

And what he saw shocked him.

Nothing!

It was empty!

There was absolutely nothing inside the Containment Unit!

Not even fog, smoke, water, distortions, or whatever.

It was completely clear.

'Why is it empty?!'

'Where is their Adult?!'
