?Nick leaped over a wide gap and landed on a relatively thin rail of metal.
The rail vibrated a little but didn't break.
Then, he continued running down the rail, dodging a long piece of metal that moved across the rail.
Right now, Nick was running across the rails on the middle layer of the Inner City.
As a Peak John, he had the strength to jump the gaps between the rails easily.
Without needing to use Shweebs, moving across the middle layer of the city was actually very efficient and fast.
After all, he could literally jump to wherever he wanted to be.
In the past, Nick hadn't dared to do something like this.
Back then, he had felt that jumping from rail to rail was too dangerous.
One wrong move, and he would fall for two kilometers or so.
But now, Nick just wasn't as afraid anymore.
It just didn't feel as big of a problem anymore.
Nick kept going upward for a while as he looked around.
After a bit, he finally found his target and ran towards the south of the middle layer.
There, Nick saw a huge building over a hundred meters high and wide.
The building was incorporated into the megastructure and hung from the wall like a wasp nest.
Countless white lines came out of the building, which traveled across the city.
Nick had seen these thin white lines before, and he knew what they were for.
These were special Zephyx lines, and they were delivering artificial light made by a Specter to many different households and even Manufacturers.
Naturally, only one Manufacturer in the city was known for delivering that much light to everyone.
Solace.
Meanwhile, almost all business-related matters for Dark Dream were handled by Wyntor, which was why Nick so rarely visited other Manufacturers.
"You're Dark Dream's Chief Zephyx Extractor?" the supervisor asked with surprise.
Nick just nodded.
"Then, please wait a moment. I will call Miss Marion right away," he said as he walked out of the central hall.
Nick just waited.
Naturally, all the Chief Zephyx Extractors saw each other at least once per year during the yearly meeting.
Because of that, Nick had already built a connection with basically all of them, except for Anatomy.
Even the twins from Gemini had warmed up to Dark Dream and didn't treat them like annoying children anymore.
Only Anatomy still acted like Dark Dream was unworthy of their notice, but that wasn't anything special.
They acted the same way to Solace and Gemini as well.
Only Ghosty's Lab and Kugelblitz could actually talk to Anatomy normally.
Nick had met Hera Marion several times already, and they had even talked a couple of times.
Compared to the Spartans and Gemini, Solace had immediately been friendly to Dark Dream, which made Dark Dream prefer Solace over the other two in business matters.
Ramona Illium, the CEO of Solace, was actually quite a good friend of Wyntor's by now.
They even had a lunch date every two weeks in which they just ate lunch together and talked about all kinds of things.
Nick waited for a couple of minutes in the central hall.
Eventually, one of the doors opened, and two people walked through.
One of them was the supervisor from earlier.
The other one was a beautiful blonde woman who looked to be in her thirties.
She had bright blonde hair, and her disposition put anyone at ease.
She had this certain Aura that made one immediately feel relaxed in her presence.
When she saw Nick, a bright smile appeared on her lips.
