Kill the Sun - Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Chapter 317 – Preparing for Work

?"Here it is," Hera said after stopping in front of a huge door.

Surprisingly, the two of them had descended the stairs instead of ascending them.

Apparently, Solace was keeping the Blinding Light in their basement instead of their attic.

Of course, since Solace was in the middle layer of the Inner City, the basement was still over a kilometer above the actual ground.

The door Nick stood in front of was absolutely massive.

It was ten meters high and ten meters wide, which was insane for the door of a Containment Unit.

But it actually made sense if one thought about how much Solace had paid for the Blinding Light.

If someone paid billions of credits for a Specter, saving a couple of million on the Containment Unit didn't make a lot of sense.

Nick didn't know how strong the Containment Unit was, but he assumed that not even Elders would be able to break out of this one.

Maybe not even Fanatics.

On the walls of the Containment Unit, Nick could also see a ton of white lines and empty pipes.

He assumed that Solace hadn't yet managed to find a way to make the Blinding Light's power usable by the general public.

They were probably still experimenting with it.

The next moment, Hera walked to the side of the Containment Unit and greeted two people standing in front of it.

They were both level two Extractors.

It seemed like Solace valued the Blinding Light so much that they even stationed two Johns in front of its Containment Unit just to be safe.

The two Extractors respectfully greeted Hera and opened the door.

They didn't ask why someone not belonging to Solace was allowed to enter the most secure Containment Unit in the entire building.

After all, their boss' boss was escorting him.

Surprisingly, Nick didn't see any light when the employee entrance to the Containment Unit opened.

He had expected that the Blinding Light's light would immediately start frying him.

Instead, Nick found himself in a small room.

"You have a room inside a Containment Unit?" Nick asked in surprise.

"The harness is made of materials that can even hold me for quite a while. You don't have to be scared of accidentally breaking something," she said as she finished putting the harness on Nick.

Nick took a deep breath but didn't answer.

Then, Hera led Nick to the outer wall of the room, which had several tiny platforms hanging from a railing.

"Stand here," Hera said as she pointed to the platform closest to the door.

Nick did just that.

Next, Hera connected the footcuffs to the platform.

Then, she connected Nick's handcuffs to the part hanging from the railing.

After that, Nick's torso was connected.

Lastly, Hera grabbed a metal thing from the railing, which she then put around Nick's chin and forehead.

Nick's heart was racing since he couldn't move anymore.

The panic of being powerless made being here almost unbearable.

"Almost done," Hera said. "One last thing."

That's when Hera retrieved two clamps.

Nick's heart rate increased even more as he saw Hera's finger come closer and closer to his eyes.

He did his best to remain stationary.

A minute later, Nick's eyes were forced open by the two clamps.

Even though his body was insanely powerful, Nick couldn't damage any of the things restraining him.

Hera nodded once. "That's everything. Are you ready?"

Nick took a deep breath and tried to nod.

Of course, he couldn't nod due to the thing holding his head in place.

"Yes," he answered after a bit.

"Alright," Hera said as she approached a button near the door.

"One session takes 15 minutes. When the time is up, you will automatically be returned to this room. I will be waiting here."

"Have fun!" she said with a grin.

Then, she pressed the button, and the door shot open.
