Chapter 55: Chapter 55 – Jenny and the Dreamer

By now, Nick had gotten pretty good at working with the Dreamer, and working with it no longer required special preparations.

While Nick was working with the Dreamer, Wyntor was telling Jenny everything relevant about Dark Dream, her future workplace.

From what Wyntor told her, their company was named Dark Dream due to their first Specter, the Dreamer.

When Nick had captured the Specter, he needed to brave the darkness and the Dreamer.

So, Wyntor had come up with the name Dark Dream.

When Jenny heard about how Nick had captured the Dreamer, her respect for him had grown even more.

Jenny had already respected Nick, but it was still difficult to feel true respect for someone who was still a teenager.

Naturally, Jenny also knew how impressive it was to fall under the Nightmare's influence so many times.

The more often it happened in a short timeframe, the more brutal the visions became.

Eight hours later, Nick walked out of the Containment Unit as he yawned a bit.

Even though he had just slept for eight hours, he felt very exhausted and tired.

The first thing Nick did after coming out of the Containment Unit was to check on the amount of Zephyx he had produced.

'Still seven grams. Except for that one change two weeks ago, nothing else changed. It's still seven grams,' Nick thought as he rubbed his chin in thought.

'With Jenny, I should be able to glean some more information.'

Nick looked around and quickly found Jenny.

Right now, Pator was showing her a couple of things in the warehouse.

"Hey, Jenny," Nick shouted as he came closer.

Pator and Jenny turned to Nick.

"Good work today, Nick," Pator said with a friendly smile.

"Welcome back, sir," Jenny said with a bit of nervousness.

"Sir?" Nick repeated with a chuckle. "Just call me Nick."

Jenny seemed a bit unsure. "Sure thing… Nick," she said with a bit of discomfort. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺

Nick just nodded with a smile. "Jenny, do you have somewhere to be in the next eight hours?"

"No," Jenny answered.

Nick nodded. "Today is your first day, but if you feel up to it, you can work with the Dreamer right now."

Nick didn't care that Pator was present. By now, Pator was also under an NDA, and he had already heard a lot about Dark Dream's secrets.

Jenny looked with a bit of excitement at Nick. "This means I would also get my first payment, right?"

"Sure. That's not an issue," Nick said.

"Then, I would like to work with the Dreamer right now," Jenny said. "Although, I need to inform my partner at home first. She hasn't heard from me the entire day, and she will be very worried if I stay until deep into the night."

"Pator can do that," Nick said before turning to Pator. "Right?"

"Naturally," Pator said with a smile. "I'll deal with it after visiting Horua again."

"Thanks, Pator," Nick said. "If everything goes as planned, I can take over in about an hour or so."

"Sure thing, Nick," Pator said before turning to Jenny. "Where's your home?"

Jenny gave Pator instructions on what to say and where to go, and Pator quickly left the building.

The next moment, Nick smiled at Jenny. "Then, let's go."

Jenny nodded and followed after Nick.

Both of them looked to be calm, but in truth, both of them were quite nervous.

Jenny had never truly interacted with a Specter. She wanted to seem fearless, but deep inside, she was still worried that the Specter's presence would be too much for her to handle.

Nick wanted to seem confident, but he was just as nervous as Jenny. The last time he had introduced someone to the Dreamer, that person had become catatonic.

Nick hoped that Jenny could resist the Dreamer better.

After opening the employee door, both of them walked into the Containment Unit.

As always, the Dreamer stood in its corner, looking at Nick expressionlessly.

Jenny stood diagonally behind Nick, and when she saw the Dreamer, her heart rate increased by quite a bit.

Jenny took a deep breath as her chest shook, but she managed to keep her composure.

Just as expected, the Dreamer's Aura was hard to bear for Jenny.

She felt like she was in contact with her natural predator.

Remaining here spelled nothing but death, and her emotions were telling her to run away.

However, Jenny's rationality kept her emotions in check, stopping them from dictating her actions.

She had already been informed about the Dreamer, and she knew what she had to do.

'Nothing will happen to me,' Jenny thought while taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself. 'I will not die. The only thing to fear is fear itself.'

The next moment, the Dreamer looked away from Nick and looked into Jenny's eyes.

Jenny's heart rate increased even more as she started to sweat coldly.

However, she just gritted her teeth and looked back.

When Nick saw her reaction, he smiled.

"Alright," Nick said, looking at the Dreamer. "This is Jenny. You will be working for eight hours after our sessions every day."

The Dreamer didn't react.

Silence.

"Well, seems like there are no issues," Nick said with a casual shrug.

Jenny wasn't put at ease by Nick's casual demeanor.

"Alright," Nick said, turning to Jenny. "Where do you want to sleep? I usually sleep with my back against the wall, but you don't have to do that."

Jenny took a deep breath. "I'd like to sit in a corner."

"Sure," Nick said.

The next moment, Jenny went to one of the corners and awkwardly sat down.

Nick nodded. "The Dreamer will now come to you and put you to sleep. Don't resist its influence. After all, we want you to sleep."

Jenny nervously nodded.

Nick looked over at the Dreamer. "You can start."

The Dreamer slowly turned to look at Jenny.

Clink. Clink. Clink.

And slowly walked up to her.

All of Jenny's being was telling her to run as far away as she could.

She was about to die!

However, Jenny managed to keep her emotions in check and kept forcing her eyes closed.

After a couple of seconds, Jenny started to feel tired.

She wanted to resist the influence, but once again, she managed to keep her emotions in check.

Eventually, she got too tired to even think about resisting.

And then, she fell asleep.
