Chapter 172 Chapter 172 – Floors
After putting the Dreamer into its new home, the group dumped the Screaming Coffin into its Containment Unit on the second floor.
Wyntor had also told everyone about how he planned on dividing the Specters.
Nearly every floor would be dedicated to a different kind of Specter.
The second floor was dedicated to Possession Specters, and it had the Screaming Coffin and the Dung Heap.
The Dung Heap wasn't really a Possession Specter, but it essentially acted like one.
The Dung Heap was a Physical Specter with an actual body, but it couldn't move very fast, which was why it essentially acted like a Possession Specter.
Wyntor decided to keep the Dung Heap on the second floor with the Screaming Coffin because of that.
Possession Specters very rarely escaped, and the second floor was the closest to the exit, which was why they were on that floor.
The third and fourth floors were for general Physical Specters.
Physical Specters were the most numerous, which was why Wyntor dedicated two floors to them.
Well, he actually dedicated three floors to them, but that would be explained later.
Right now, they only had one normal Physical Specter, which was the Bleeding Lady.
She was residing on the third floor.
The fifth floor was for Specters that fed on mentality.
Wyntor wanted to keep these kinds of Specters separate from all the others because of the normal employees.
Accidents always happened, and it was possible that some of the Specters might gain the ability to influence people beyond their Containment Unit.
Naturally, Zephyx Extractors had a great resistance to these kinds of things, but normal people didn't.
Because of that, Wyntor wanted to keep these kinds of Specters off-limit from all the normal employees.
Only Zephyx Extractors were allowed on the fifth floor.
No clerks or guards were allowed to enter it.
In fact, after today, Wyntor would also include himself in that list.
While Wyntor was a Mid Newbie, he didn't want to get into the bad habit of ignoring his own regulations.
At some point, Dark Dream would have stronger Specters.
Then, Wyntor's mental resistance would barely be better than the resistance of a normal person.
And as the CEO, it would be really bad if a Specter were to control him.
Finally, the sixth floor was for Force Specters.
Dark Dream didn't have any right now.
This was how all the floors were set up.
Naturally, the normal employees would feel nervous when entering any of the floors with Containment Units on them, but they would be especially scared of the fifth floor.
Normal employees didn't know what kind of Specters Dark Dream owned, which was why they didn't know why they were not allowed to enter the fifth floor.
That made the fifth floor extremely scary to them.
What kind of Specter was stored on the fifth floor that they were not even allowed to clean that place?!
But that wasn't the only concerning floor.
The second floor was also concerning, but not for a reason such as danger.
It was just annoyance and disgust.
The Dung Heap's smell couldn't perfectly be contained in its Containment Unit, which meant that its odor permeated throughout the second floor.
The second floor smelled like rotten garbage all the time, and the employees hated going there.
Luckily, it wasn't dangerous.
It was just disgusting.
"I'm going to set up the seventh floor," Wyntor told Nick. "You should get everyone familiar with the new Specters before work tomorrow."
Nick nodded. "What about the new employees?"
"They will come next week," Wyntor said. "I already signed the contract with them and Ghosty's Lab."
Ghosty's Lab had the most Newbies, and surprisingly, they were not against other Manufacturers taking their Newbies.
The reason was the release fee.
Ghosty's Lab hired more Newbies than they actually needed since they knew that other Manufacturers were going to poach them.
The release fee for a Newbie was more than the Newbie brought in within a year.
This was essentially free money for Ghosty's Lab.
Since Dark Dream needed more Extractors, Wyntor had taken out a loan and bought three more Extractors.
The three Extractors were just Early Newbies, but they were already far better than normal people.
They had been tested by Ghosty's Lab.
They had already worked with Specters.
They already had some experience.
And most of all, they had the standard ability that most of the Extractors from Ghosty's Lab had.
The Adult Specter Metalmorphosis.
Metalmorphosis was a floating ball of liquid metal, and it gained power by causing terror and fear.
Extractors that work with it got its ability, which was useful for almost everything.
The ability allowed Extractors to reshape metal into all kinds of shapes.
Weapons, tools, walls, whatever.
While the base ability was not amazing for fighting, it could be mutated in many different ways.
For example, if one of these people evolved this ability with the Dung Heap, they might be able to create a thin wave of metal with poisonous properties.
It would essentially be like a wave of acid.
The three Newbies that Wyntor had bought all had the base ability of the Metalmorphosis.
After hearing that the three new employees would come next week, Nick nodded. "Good. I will teach them about all the Specters when they're here."
Wyntor chuckled. "I would assume so. It's your job, after all."
Nick laughed a bit in embarrassment.
"Anyway, be careful with the new Specters. I heard the Lover and the Bleeding Lady are scarier than the Dreamer," Wyntor said.
Kiara and Jonathan nodded, showing their agreement.
In their opinion, the Bleeding Lady was the scariest Specter, followed by the Lover.
"No worries," Nick said.
"I don't have any," Wyntor answered before he went into the stairway to go to the seventh floor.
After Wyntor left, Nick looked at his four employees.
Kiara and Jonathan were a bit excited, while Trevor and Jenny were a bit worried.
"I would say, let's get the hard part out of the way first," Nick said.
"Wanna start with the Bleeding Lady?"
