The building Nick was on was quite a bit higher than Dark Dream, which made it quite easy for Nick to see the person in the white cloak but difficult the other way around.

At this moment, the person on top of Dark Dream was taking out a white bottle with some green stuff in it, and they were slowly and silently opening it.

Then, they moved closer to one of the holes, which was above one of the spots where the next shift of guards would stand.

Now, they only needed to-

Crack! BANG!

The person suddenly heard a huge crack appear behind them before hearing the loud sound of something heavy hitting something below them.

With shocked eyes, the person saw the guards inside Dark Dream looking at the ceiling of the Dreamer's Containment Unit.

At this moment, the person looked with shocked eyes at the red mark on top of the Containment Unit.

It almost looked like something had once been there, but the person didn't remember anything being there.

That was when they noticed the guards pointing at one of the walls inside Dark Dream.

There was a silver spear with big red streaks stuck in the wall!

The spy had no idea what was going on, but their heart rate shot up.

'I have to go!' they thought urgently as they stood up.

"Argh, what?" a female voice spoke as the person felt like their legs were not listening to them anymore.

At the same time, they suddenly started to feel a terrifyingly sharp pain arriving.

'My back!' the person thought in terror.

Splash.

At that moment, a long piece from an intestine landed in the middle of Dark Dream.

That was when the person realized what had happened.

Their body bent to the side, and they looked at their abdomen.

It was like they had entered a nightmare.

There was a huge hole in their abdomen!

That spear!

Wait, had that spear caused that hole?!

Then, the person remembered that the Chief Zephyx Extractor of Dark Dream was always walking around with some spears.

And that spear with the red streaks looked exactly like one of his spears.

Except for the red streaks. They were new.

A couple of seconds ago, Nick had thrown the spear at the person.

He wanted to nail them to the ceiling of Dark Dream, but he had overestimated the ceiling's durability.

In the end, his spear shot through the person's body, bounced off the Dreamer's Containment Unit, and got stuck in the walls.

"Sto- argh!" the person shouted, but they couldn't finish their words since they suddenly started coughing.

At the same time, they looked around to search for the attacker.

BANG!

And then, their nose vanished after a streak of silver entered the person's face where their nose had just been.

The person quickly started to convulse.

The roof behind them had several pieces of brain matter scattered across it.

A silver and red spear was stuck in the walls of a higher building behind them.

From a distance, Nick took a deep breath and sighed as he watched the person in white convulsing violently on the roof of Dark Dream.

The next moment, the guards started to run out of Dark Dream as they climbed the side of the building to get to whoever was on the roof.

"It's just me!" Nick shouted from the higher building.

The guards looked over and spotted Nick in surprise.

"What's going on?" one of them asked with a shout.

"I'll explain later," Nick answered. "The spear came from me. The danger has been dealt with."

The guards looked at each other.

After some seconds, they nodded.

"Okay, we're going inside!" one of them shouted.

Then, the guards went back into Dark Dream.

Meanwhile, Nick leaped off the building and went to retrieve the spear that was stuck in the wall behind the person.

'I can get the other one later. It's inside Dark Dream anyway,' Nick thought as he walked over to the person lying on the roof.

By now, their convulsing had lost a lot of power.

There was a big hole going through the spot below their sternum and one going through the spot where their nose had been.

The spears had done a lot of damage.

When Nick saw the effects of his spears from such a close range, he sighed.

Nick was used to seeing the people he killed with broken necks.

Seeing them with these holes almost made it feel like it hadn't been Nick who had killed them.

It was so different.

It was so distant.

Nick ripped the white cloak off the person and looked at them.

'Sure enough, she's from Cycle,' Nick thought as he saw the standard Zephyx Extractor uniform with the emblem of Cycle on the corpse.

The person in front of Nick was a woman with turquoise hair and blue eyes. Her eyelashes were long, and she was quite slim.

Nick sighed again.

'She looks like a nice person,' he thought.

After that, Nick looked at the glass jar that the woman had dropped.

The green stuff inside the glass jar had partially spilled out, and Nick carefully put the green stuff back into the glass jar while making sure that he didn't touch any of it with his bare hands.

After putting the lid back onto the glass jar, Nick carefully put it to the side while continuing to inspect the corpse.

A couple of credits.

A banking card.

Some random personal belongings.

'Oh?' Nick thought as he saw three small and black balls. 'Those look unusual.'

'Probably some kind of weapon.'

Nick carefully put those to the side as well and continued inspecting the corpse.

Sadly, that was everything that seemed relevant or suspicious.

Nick could only sigh. 'Of course, people only have written orders and such stuff on them in stories.'

After looking through everything, Nick grabbed the corpse and moved it into the building.

He would wait for Wyntor.
