Kill the Sun

"This good?" Nick asked for the tenth time or so.

Stacy inspected the cube closely.

"Good enough," she said after a bit.

Nick sighed.

He had to scrub the cube so many times with Cleansing Liquid, regular cleaner, and even Recovery Liquid for some reason.

Even Larry had passed by Nick since he was already done working with the Bleeding Lady.

Finally, Nick and Stacy went back to get the next Specter.

"Get in the box! We're putting you in a new Containment Unit!" Nick ordered, pointing at the cube.

SLAP!

Nick slapped a tentacle away.

"No, we're not doing that right now!" Nick said.

Slap!

Slap!

Nick slapped more tentacles away.

"Want me to force you into the box?

Slap!

"Okay, that's it!"

Nick grabbed the tentacle-filled worm in front of him and threw it into the cube.

BANG!

Then, Nick closed the cube, locking the Lover inside.

He really didn't like that Specter.

Nick transported the Lover to the seventh floor of their new building.

BANG!

As soon as the cube opened, Nick grabbed the worm and threw it against the wall.

The worm wriggled around a bit before it started to slowly approach Nick again, wanting to touch him with its tentacles.

Nick quickly left the Containment Unit with the cube.

"We're moving into a new building, and I can't just let you fly around outside," Nick said. "You gotta go into the box."

The Dreamer looked at the black cube.

Then, it slightly flapped its wings and smoothly landed inside the cube.

Since the Dreamer wasn't so big, it had plenty of space in there.

Nick closed the cube and brought it to the seventh floor of Dark Dream's new building.

There were zero issues with the Dreamer.

SHING! SHING!

Nick grabbed a bloody chunk and chucked it into the cube before closing it.

This was the Blood Hawk, and Nick didn't even attempt to communicate with it.

He just cut it into pieces and grabbed the biggest chunk with the core.

The Blood Hawk was delivered to the fifth floor of the new building, and Nick needed to scrub the cube again after transporting it.

Next, Nick had to cut the Blood Horse very carefully into a cube that just barely fit into the actual cube.

The Blood Horse was quite big, and it wasn't easy to make it small enough to transport.

Just like the Blood Hawk, the Blood Horse was put on the fifth floor.

After more scrubbing, Nick went and grabbed the Glasses.

Since it was a Possession Specter, transporting it was extremely easy.

Nick put the Glasses on the fourth floor.

Then, Nick grabbed the Can and also put it on the fourth floor.

Now, only three Specters were left, but those three couldn't be transported with the cube.

Nick put the cube away since he wouldn't need it anymore and grabbed a couple of Zephyx Suppressors.

Next, Nick entered a Containment Unit and put the Zephyx Suppressors around the motionless Screaming Coffin.

It had just gotten some food this morning, but Nick still had to be careful.

Since the Screaming Coffin couldn't be folded, it didn't fit in the cube, which meant that it had to be transported a different way.

Luckily, it wasn't worth a lot, and everyone basically already knew it since they had moved it to their old building the same way.

This time, Stacy made sure that there were no issues with the Zephyx Suppressors.

Additionally, the citizens in the Inner City finally got to see an actual Specter instead of just black cubes.

When they saw the coffin on Nick's back, they all looked at it in wonder.

This was a Specter?

In the new building, Nick put the Screaming Coffin on the fourth floor and took the Zephyx Suppressors away.

Now, only two Specters remained.

"Okay, those two will be troublesome," Nick said. "One of them is a Force Specter, and the other one acts like a mix of Force and Possession Specters. They are also both quite big."

Nick got one of the expensive Specter Cages and fixed it to the Fog's Containment Unit on the sixth floor.

Moving Force Specters was always risky, and the city also forced Nick to keep several Extractors ready that could suppress it in case anything happened.

The city did not want another Crimson Sea incident.

Because of that, the Gemini trio, Clayton, Petra, and Jason, were all following Nick.

All of their abilities could suppress Force Specters.

Because of that, the Gemini trio, Clayton, Petra, and Jason, were all following Nick.

Luckily, the expensive Containment Unit and the expensive Specter Cage proved to be worth their money, and no issue occurred.

The Fog was pushed into the cage by the Containment Unit, and the cage was moved out of the building by removing one of the walls.

Fortunately, the ceiling of the new building was high enough for the cage, and parts of the floor were also removable for exactly this reason.

The Fog was put into its new Containment Unit on the sixth floor without problems.

And finally, it was time for the most problematic Specter.

Who would've thought that the Dung Heap would be so troublesome to move?

The biggest issue was that the Dung Heap wasn't inside a Containment Unit meant for Force Specters, which meant that they had to suppress it manually.

Ten of Dark Dream's employees gathered in front of the Containment Unit, and even several guards from the city were standing on standby.

The only way to get the Dung Heap to move was by getting it out of its Containment Unit first before suppressing it again.

It was just too big, and any container that could contain it didn't fit through the employee's entrance.

As soon as the door opened, an abhorrent stench assaulted everyone, and a slime-like substance flowed out of the Containment Unit's exit.

Nick charged forward and grabbed the Dung Heap.

Even though the Dung Heap was acting like a Possession and a Force Specter, it was actually a Physical Specter, which meant that Nick could grab it.

After grabbing it, he charged into the prepared Specter Cage beside him and pulled the Dung Heap into it.

A moment later, he pushed past the Dung Heap, left the cage, and kicked the Dung Heap until it fit the cage.

BANG!

The door closed.

Finally, the Dung Heap was in the cage.

However, it came at a price.

Everyone kept their distance from Nick and looked at him with disgust.

He did not smell very nice right now.

Luckily, this was the last Specter.

So, which floor would the Dung Heap be sent to?

Surprisingly, the sixth floor.

The floor for Force Specters.

Even more, it would be put into a Containment Unit for Force Specters.

The reason was that Nick suspected that the Dung Heap might transform into a Force Specter in the future.

What if it lost its slime-like body and turned into actual liquid when it became an Adult?

Then, it would be able to break out of a normal Containment Unit.

Because of that, Nick put it in a Containment Unit meant for Force Specters.

And he was not happy about that, at all.

Not only did the Dung Heap deliver almost no Zephyx, but now, they even needed to contain it with a Containment Unit that was worth millions upon millions of credits.

If it weren't for its ability, Nick would have long since sold this shitty Specter.

He hated the Dung Heap.
