Nick and Jonathan cleaned themselves and put their uniforms back on before they came out.
The others were already waiting for them.
“How bad was it?” Kiara asked.
“Bad,” Jonathan said. “She was really cranky, but she’s calmed down now.”
“What’s the Bleeding Lady like?” Jenny asked, looking at Nick.
“Well, there are a lot of things you have to look out for,” Nick said. “Working with her is a bit more dangerous and complicated than working with the Dreamer.”
“Compared to the Dreamer, she also seems much more unstable, which makes it difficult to assure our safety.”
“I want you and Trevor to get familiar with the Bleeding Lady over the next two days. I think it is important that every Extractor knows how to work with every Specter in case someone can’t come to work.”
“But most likely, due to the danger, I am going to be working with her regularly,” Nick said.
The others were a bit surprised.
Nick was going to take care of the Bleeding Lady?
Naturally, Nick needed to work with at least one Specter so that his level could increase, but they had thought that he would take care of some other Specters.
Although, it also made sense.
The Bleeding Lady was a Physical Specter with an ability that could be used in battle, making her very dangerous.
Even more, the Bleeding Lady was already a Late Hatchling.
If she actually decided to attack an Extractor, they might die.
Nick would have the greatest chance of survival since they would be fighting in a small room, and he was extremely dangerous in close proximity to his target.
He didn’t say it, but Nick actually had another reason for working with the Bleeding Lady.
The time required.
The Bleeding Lady gave about as much Zephyx as the Dreamer, and when she inevitably advanced a level, she would give even more.
As the Chief Zephyx Extractor, Nick had many things to do, and the less time he was busy working with Specters, the better.
When Jonathan and Kiara heard that Nick would take care of the Bleeding Lady, they released sighs of relief.
They really didn’t want to work with her.
First of all, she was insanely dangerous.
Second, working with her was painful.
“Let’s check up on the Lover next.”
Kiara and Jonathan didn’t seem comfortable when they heard that.
Nick noticed and raised an eyebrow. “I guess it’s not a lot of fun to work with it?”
Jonathan and Kiara looked at each other.
“I’ll tell you when we’re there,” Kiara said before she walked to the staircase.
Nick, Jenny, and Trevor felt intrigued and followed after her.
When everyone reached the fifth floor, they stopped in front of a door.
Kiara took a deep breath and readied herself to explain the Lover.
Yet, she only became red in the face.
“You do it!” she ordered Jonathan.
“Me again?” Jonathan asked with annoyance.
Kiara just glared at him.
In the end, Jonathan could only sigh.
“The Lover is a worm with tentacles and is about as big as a chicken,” Jonathan said.
Nick, Trevor, and Jenny were a bit surprised.
They had expected that something that was called the Lover would have a more human appearance.
“The Lover gains power by perverting and changing someone’s sexual desires,” Jonathan said awkwardly.
At that point, the three Extractors who didn’t know the Lover started to feel uncomfortable.
“In order to work with it, you need to allow it to… well… you know…” Jonathan said awkwardly, moving his hands around.
“Please explain,” Nick said. “I want you to be clear.”
Jonathan scratched the back of his head in discomfort.
“You kinda have to let it… have its way with you, if you know what I mean,” Jonathan said awkwardly.
Jenny immediately became disgusted.
Trevor looked uncomfortable.
Nick furrowed his brows.
“Please be more specific,” Nick said.
Jonathan really seemed uncomfortable.
“Well, first, you take your pants off,” he slowly explained. “Then, you sit down. It will slowly come closer to you and go for your… thing… and also your butthole.”
The three of them became more disgusted and uncomfortable by the minute.
“It starts to do its thing, and while it is happening, you will feel surprisingly… good…”
“While that is happening, it will release a lot of gas that makes you see hallucinations.”
“The hallucinations will be of… uncomfortable things.”
“Corpses, blood, feces, urine, violence, tragedy, and many different things.”
“Yet, even though you really don’t like these things, the Lover somehow manages to make you feel really, really good.”
“Stephen and Ardum talked with several doctors about this, and while it hasn’t happened yet, the doctors said that repeated exposure can make it so that your mind associates these things with pleasure.”
“So, in the long run, your… preferences… might get changed into something completely different.”
Jonathan scratched the back of his head.
“And after you… you know… finish… it will leave you alone, and you can leave again.”
Silence.
Nick, Jenny, and Trevor were really uncomfortable.
They were supposed to let some worm thing jerk them off while it was showing them images of decapitated bodies and stuff?
Nick could deal with the nightmares and the cuts, but he wouldn’t want to force any of his employees to work with the Lover.
“How often does it have to be worked with?” Nick asked.
“Theoretically, you can work with it about ten times a day, which will produce a lot of Zephyx.” 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪.𝒄𝒐𝓶
“But that also seems to encourage it and increases the pleasure it gives the Extractor, making the perversion even stronger.”
“We worked with it once a day, which seemed to be a good rate.”
“Compared to the Bleeding Lady and the Dreamer, the Lover is only an Early Hatchling, and it only produces about five grams of Zephyx per session, but that should increase when it becomes stronger.”
Nick frowned.
He really didn’t want to, but as the Chief Zephyx Extractor, he had to know how to work with every Specter of Dark Dream.
So, Nick took a deep breath.
“I’ll check it out.”
And walked in.
