Chapter 11: Chapter 11 – Where to Start?
Nick had no idea where to start.
Everything had been prepared, and now, they only needed a Specter.
But where could they even get a Specter from?
The big Zephyx Manufacturers had several people searching for Specters at any given time while Nick was basically alone.
Sure, there was also Wyntor, but it wasn't his job to find and capture Specters.
'Should I search for a Specter with minions? I mean, I know about the Blood Mosquito and the Parasite, but both of them are too powerful.'
'Wait, do weak Specters even have minions, or does that require a lot more power?'
Nick just scratched the back of his head as he stood in front of the warehouse.
'There are three kinds of Specters, and I can't even attempt to get any Force Specters. That only leaves Possession Specters and Physical Specters.'
'I really doubt that I would easily find a Possession Specter since the Zephyx Manufacturers love those. At least, that was what Wyntor said.'
'That means I have to find a Physical Specter.'
'But where?'
Nick scratched the side of his head.
'I mean, I heard the outside is basically filled with Specters, but everybody knows that the outside is extremely dangerous. Level two Specters are already able to damage the walls of the Containment Unit, while I can't even make a dent in them. Obviously, level three Specters would be even more powerful.'
'I don't think going outside of the city would be a smart idea.'
Nick sighed.
'Guess that means I'm stuck searching for a Physical Specter inside the city.'
Nick still scratched the side of his head.
The next moment, he turned towards the direction of the Dregs.
'Maybe I should just start asking around?'
After a couple of seconds, Nick just shrugged and walked towards the Dregs.
'Sure, why not?'
Wyntor looked through one of the windows at Nick, who was walking away.
'I hope he finds one,' Wyntor thought with furrowed brows.
'And I also hope the one he finds isn't too strong.'
After a while, Nick's surroundings became dirtier and dirtier, making him feel like he had come back home.
The Outer City had been a bit too clean for Nick.
It almost felt unnatural.
Eventually, Nick reached the marketplace where he had sat for months with his sign.
Today was not tax day, which meant that the marketplace was quite normal.
People were talking with each other but still keeping a safe distance.
After all, everyone could potentially be dangerous in the Dregs.
Nick scratched the side of his head again.
Eventually, someone just so happened to meet Nick's eyes, and Nick walked towards them.
The person Nick was walking to was a thin adult man who seemed like he regretted accidentally meeting Nick's eyes right now.
"Hey!" Nick said with a friendly tone. "I'm searching for a Specter."
Near the beginning, the man seemed annoyed and uninterested, but when he heard the word Specter, he became nervous.
"A Specter? Which one?!" he asked with worry.
"Ehm, I don't really know?" Nick said with uncertainty.
This confused the man. "What? But you just said you were searching for one!"
"I mean, yeah," Nick answered with an awkward laugh. "You see, I am a new Zephyx Extractor, and I'm searching for my first Specter, you know?"
When the man heard that, he calmed down a bit, but then, he became angry.
"Then stop talking like you lost a Specter! I thought I was in danger or something!" he shouted.
