Kill the Sun - Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Chapter 336 – A Visit

?The two of them entered Julian's new office.

As soon as the door opened, Nick noticed that Julian's office was covered in even more mouths.

It was almost like the entire office was made of mouths.

The only place that didn't have any mouths was the chair in front of the desk and a small pathway leading to it.

Julian walked through the mouth-covered area, and the mouths seemed to phase through him.

Then, he sat down behind the desk, seemingly fusing into the domain of mouths.

Nick couldn't see Julian anymore.

"Come in," a chorus of friendly voices said.

Nick's eyes showed determination, and he stepped inside.

He had made his choice.

He had made his wish.

This was what he had chosen.

Regrets?

Guilt?

Fear?

Feeling any of that would be an insult to his choice.

This was the ugly face of his choice, and he had to look at it.

Dark Dream had been handed over to a Specter.

Something that was supposed to suppress Specters was now being run by a Specter.

This was a betrayal of humanity.

A human had willingly handed something like this to a Specter.

Something like this happened very rarely.

After all, even little kids knew that Specters were humanity's greatest enemies.

Accepting a deal with a Specter would only end in one's death.

'But I need this!' Nick thought with narrowed eyes.

'This is the only way I can achieve my goal!'

'If humanity ever wants to win against the Specters, humanity first needs to unite!'

'The same thing is true for this city.'

'As long as Kugelblitz, Anatomy, Ghosty's Lab, and so on fight against each other, Crimson City will never get enough power to truly free themselves of Specters like Julian or the Parasite.'

Nick looked at the mouths.

"Yes," he said with conviction.

Silence.

The mouths chuckled.

"How truly interesting," the mouths said.

"Working with you might prove to be very entertaining."

Silence.

"Do you have a plan for Dark Dream?" Nick asked. "You are now the CEO, and I am your employee. Is there anything you want me to do?"

"Yes," the mouths answered.

"Since we are now allies, I don't want you to die. That would be bad for me."

"I have seen how powerful you are. I saw the ambush of the Spartans."

Nick's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I also know that you were the one that freed the Crimson Sea."

"The Crimson Sea ate several pieces of my food, and it made it much harder for me to find opportunities to collect debts from lost bets."

"You're lucky I'm not a human, or I might have killed you out of anger."

Nick didn't say anything.

"Nevertheless, your survival is now relevant to my power."

"Because of that, I want to get rid of your weakness."

"And while we're at it, you may also prove your loyalty."

Nick didn't show any reactions.

"Your power is terrifying, but only as long as the enemy doesn't know how it works."

"There is one person, aside from myself, that knows how your power works."

"This person is your weakness."

Nick's jaw clenched.

"Prove that what you said are not just empty words."

"I made a wager with Albert."

"I bet that you would visit him within the next two months at his home."

Nick didn't move, but his heart rate shot up.

"I want you to visit him."

Nick didn't say anything as he silently clenched his fists.

The smiles on the mouths seemed to widen.
